Alaskan Chainsaw Milling: Turning Logs into Lumber

#homestead #chainsawmill #outdoorlifestyle
Making logs into lumber with my Alaskan chainsaw mill was the pan for the day and this video will show you how to do it. Bush life and adventure can be tougher if it takes travel amidst the current state of things but I've enjoyed sharing some of the DIY projects I'm getting up to around my rural property. I have a pile of Cedar logs I'm planning on getting through over the next few days in order to stockpile some 2x6 boards for another project I'm going to start sometime in the coming weeks. This was the first of those logs I milled and the results were great.

I picked up this mill from Acton Chainsaw Mills check them out here: https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Forestry---Logging/Acton-Chain-Saw-Mills-2112554288823393/

I basically made one square in the log using a latter screwed into the log. I then took 2" slabs off one after the other because I'd made a square in the log, I then only had to rip one live edge side off with the table saw to make them into proper 2x6s. But before I ripped them with the table saw, I measured them out and snapped a chalk line on the slabs. After that, Tori helped me feed them through the table saw to get as straight a cut as possible. In the end, we had the beginnings of what will be a nice stack of lumber.
