Why DIY Chainsaw Mill BEATS Band Mill (cutting a Massive Oak)

Lets discuss how and why making lumber on a DIY Alaskan chainsaw mill can be better than milling it on a bandmill. The long standing debate about which is best, chainsaw mill vs bandsaw mill, is mainly a matter of circumstances. In this video I am (sorta) showing how this is the case by sawing up a huge wind felled Oak tree, and making some nice slabs.

The mill is constructed from 40x40mm extruded aluminium profile - best place I found to get it in the uk is ebay: https://goo.gl/VLvJYV (KJN is as good but postage is costly)

In the next one I will get to making beams and structural elements from the bigger bits of oak - for now we are just milling medium to small logs, and cutting boards for my friend Paul's outdoor workbench.
