Cutting LONG & THIN Boards Using a Chainsaw...WITHOUT a Mill!

  • I'm closing in on the end of this firewood shack project! Left to complete is the roof. In this episode I use my chainsaw to mill some long, thin boards that will (hopefully) become the roof of the firewood shack.
    The chainsaw used is a Holzfforma G372xp with a 28" bar. I'm using standard crosscut chain (sharpened at 30 degrees).
    Thanks to everyone who watches! Next up it's time to get this firewood shack finished! God bless.

    You, my friend are a master with that chainsaw. Unbelievable.

    I've never seen anyone freehand boards that accurately! Holy cow that is something to see. You may have some water in your gas from condensation.

    You does a good job cutting out lumber with just a chainsaw. Just as good as a mill.

    If that was me trying to cut those boards, I'd constantly cut the rope, my boards would vary between about 1/8 and 3 inches... glad you have a better eye for accuracy!

      It's easier than you'd think. After a bit of practice I think anyone would be able to get similar results. I do appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching!

      ​@@KuskWild I can understand if the cuts were vertical but you're still getting them straight while cutting at an angle.

    You're an excellent free hand miller! Great job! Those ribbon-like shavings will make really nice fire tinder. Great by themselves, or put them in a coffee can with a little diesel fuel. No fail fire starter. Enjoy your weekend, Brother.

    Saturday morning in Oxfordshire - strong coffee and a new Kusk video - what a way to start the weekend! Great skill with those boards, you can see how you have mastered that over the months. Youe camera work is super too - I can see the work involved in setting up the shots and editing....thanks!

    Not bad at all! I was thinking about making some 4" bridge timbers with my Stihl, but was worried it might be tough to go that thin. But 3/4? That is crazy. You have a steady hand with that saw, and came out with some quality boards. The wood shack will be deluxe with those planks!

    Right on getting it done 👍 and for the 4wheeler i would check the carburetor for dirt ive had similar problems and when i would give it more gas to get out of a hole or something it would stall and then when it sat for a bit the dirt would settle in the bottom of the bole.

    Nice job, friend ! I love to do freehand chainsaw milling too ;)
    Only thing I may suggest, is you can use chalkline to mark a straight line and not bother about cutting along the rope. But what works for you is good for you !! Have a great day

    Excellence on display again bro. You've a steady hand and a sharp eye there, not to mention some needed stamina. Will be great to see the finished shed, you've put a lot of work into it. Like all Kusk Wild videos, this was a good one, thanks for the work. Stay safe out there.

    I generally cut the log in half to get rid of the heart, then trim the sides. Chalk line shows up good on the cut. Then stand the cant up and cut my boards. If you want a smooth straight cut, quickly, try a chain sharpened at 0 deg with no rackers. Smooth as if gone through a planer and shavings couple inches long. Without an angle on the teeth the bar will just follow the cut and you will not use extra gas and time cutting the groves as the angle, even 5 or 10 deg will pull the chain left and right as it grabs. You can use a full chisel.

    At about 7:25: "The bottom tapered out a little bit - that's not too bad." That's 100% true for you.
    But - - - some builders want a little better quality and use some kind of homemade guide.

      I'm not sure either. As of right now it's running perfectly normal. Same gas too.

    Hey man your doing awesome job cutting the boards
    Dunno if you have seen the piece goes on your chain bar with a guide on how big cut your boards
    I have one for cutting squares
    I probably speed up your process quit a bit
    Only like 50 bucks
    I forget the name right now

    On the quad is the gas tank vacuum locking on you?
    If the cap isn't venting properly the gas won't gravity feed. Had a few chain saws do that.

    Do you burn those first slabs? We get those from the Amish lumber yard just for firewood. I find they make great slabs for kindling when bucked and split.
    Check for moisture in that fuel.
