Very impressive. I'm 56 and I love working in timber. In the 1930's my dad, and his brothers and their dad, made cross ties for the railroad with a hand powered cross cut saw and a broad axe. I still have the tools. He got 7 to 10 cents for each one. He is 91 and very healthy. His dad lived to be 102. I hope that I live to be 1/2 the man that they were. I wish a lot of people that think they work hard for a living could see this video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. Also thanks for not being scared to work. You are a fine example to others. I believe God admires hard workers. Peace
22re? I had a 90’ for 5 years. I miss that sound. Best damn truck I ever had. This is awesome man. I’m gonna deff keep watching more of your videos, you have a wealth of knowledge and obviously experience. I plan on starting my own off grid project as I have always had an interest in self reliance, I’ve been too busy living life up until becoming a father and husband, looking around at the world, I see it is clearly time to become fully self reliant. I’ve been looking for more people who want to share their knowledge and help people learn real skills, so thank you for sharing all of your hard work and talent with us!
It takes about 10-15 minutes to make 1 slab, the saw teeth need to be sharp or it would take all day. If the log is facing downhill it doesn't take much effort to push the saw, the saw pulls itself into the cut to a certain extent. It is ideal for breaking down trees in hard to get to places, but I wouldn't want to do it every day, lifting those slabs is hard work. I would have used about 10 litres of fuel to do that 1 log so it is quite cost effective.
Nice work AR. Those trailer tires are never going to pass safety inspection here in the states. Kidding! Feeling a little stiffness in the lower back after watching that. I remedy that by riding my mountain bike on cool trails like you have in your shot. Someday I hope to see your beautiful country.
Hats off to you my man. I think this is really something to see. A man that knows how to do something like this and owns a piece of land like this. I can think of about a million 25 to 35 year olds out there that could benefit from learning something skills like these. Very impressive indeed. First time seeing any of your videos or anything like this tool being used.. I just fell a tree about 2 weeks ago out of necessity for a neighbor and what a sense of satisfaction doing it myself instead of hiring a tree cutter until I seen this ambitious one man job you completed. LoL I shack your hand if I seen you.
like the video. helped me to figure out how I am going to cut a large pine tree we cut down. the mill guide is my best option, after thinking could do the job without one. didn't work well . Thanks for help.
I like your slabbing rails. I need to get some as I'm using a ladder for the first cut now. I lived in Monterey for 35 years- they do grow like weeds. They were even used for hardwood flooring back in the day. You probably know this by now but a chain sharpened at 10-11 degrees works better for slabbing or ripping. Your country looks a lot like the Sierra Foothills- Enjoy!
I envy your opportunity to do that physical work. I injured my back and that work is now behind me, unfortunately. Nothing like working with wood. Hard work, but rewarding!
Hey just wanted to say thank you for the great tips! Vegie oil and the shape of the teeth I would have never thought of that, I cut my slabs six quarter then resaw on a band saw. Thanks again from the western US BTW I love Canada I spent many a winter up there in the true Hockey Country!
Great vid mate! I was doing the exact same scenario in Qld, northwest of Brisbane around 26 years ago. I had the same mill frame (alaskin) and a stihl 086? Was around 112 cc with a four foot bar. Paid $1000 for at the time. Felling pine for slabs. Cheers!
Carpet snakes(bush python) we mostly encountered. Harmless and kids and I handled all the time. Spiders is what gave me the shits! I'm retired in Oregon USA now, Home of big wood, volcanos, and big rivers. Like NZ in many parts actually! Deer instead of roos! Lots of bullbars in the NW but for deer and elk and moose up thru Canada.
Thats a good clean stump. Not bad. I miss the bush. Its a very enjoyable job. Theres always something new to learn. Even when you think you know it all something will happen and youll be like damn, didnt see that coming. The bush is great like that
isn't it funny how some decent video editing skills can make all the difference in the world? not to take away from your hard work here at all. but there are a lot of other guys on here who spend too much time talking and shaking their camera at a tree and turn their audience off. well done on all accounts! better than I could do
Great Video, I have a few tricks I use for the milling part, I use a second saw with a modified chain, all the teeth are flush cut, not angled, but every 3rd tooth is angled cut to (alternate opposite cut) keep the chain from drifting. creates a cleaner cut, more chips less dust = faster cut less heat on the chain, file the rakes down a little more as kick back isn't a major problem and will make it easier to cut with the grain of the wood, and I use Vegi oil as chain oil as not to stain the wood. If you can find a really old saw with a manual oil pump it would be best, I find they oil better. Cheers from the Canadian North.
Helpful and informative video of how to process NZ plantation pine in a plantation forest. You've done it with light gear that probably won't bankrupt any small plantation grower. Thanks for sharing. Cheers. :)
One cannot begin to appreciate the amount of work you put in to get those slabs unless they have done it for themselves, after a day of this all I want to do is drink a beer and go to bed.
Awesome video, is this what do for a living? It seems very professional from start to finish. After I realized where that pine tree fell, I paused the video and asked myself what is the safest way to go about next. I was very impressed from that moment on, I work a lone in my garage and sometimes these big projects are a pain to move around and so I can somewhat relate to how challenging it can get. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, no it's just a hobby. I've milled quite a few large trees using this setup, built myself a cabin on my forestry property & used to make outdoor slab furniture to sell, so I've got it down to an art now. I know what you mean, shifting heavy things by yourself can be tricky but it's part of the challenge & makes you think outside the box.
The powerhead is usually the most expensive part of any chainsaw mill, the Alaskan mill is one of the cheapest mills on the market but you still pay a pretty penny for it plus the ripping chain you pretty much need in anything but softwoods (standard chain is for crosscuts, ripping requires less angle on the chisels so the bar doesn't twist or clog.) All told, you need $500+ in saw and bar, $30-50 in chain, approximately $3-400 for the small mill, (they have different sizes). Minimum. Chainsaw hardware is pricy. I have a simple beam cutter and it's just a device that clamps on to a 2x and bolts to the bar and it was $49 for a piece of powder coated steel channel with a pivot and clamp. The Alaskan Mill, as simple as it seems, is not something you could hack together out of stuff from Home Depot for $1-200. It is precise, it attaches to a running saw and has to be able to prevent the pull in and push back and is designed for saws with a minimum of 3.5-4 hp and up to the 8 cubic inch Stihl 880 and the like. It mills perfectly flat boards with the right setup, chain, and power head. Nice video, I've been thinking of a small chainsaw mill as I just bought a larger Efco.
Awesome skills there Bro! Bumped into a whole bunch of Kiwis living in Tea Gardens/Hawks Nest NSW years ago, and most of them were from Nelson. The AMP owners couldn't find any locals to cut out the pine so heaps of the boys and their families ended up there. Used to have their quota cut and sitting in the Tea Gardens Hotel by lunchtime! Hangi at someone's place every Saturday.
Nice job. My stepdad milled a lot of lumber with his Alaskan. Built a shop, several buildings, made roof sheathing, trim, all kinds of stuff. We tried a double saw setup with two old McCullochs but ended up with a single Stihl 085. That is hard work.
Respect , apart from milling it on the scene cutting that tree alone is a very big undertaking.Each cent you get from it is well deserved if you sell it and a glorious thropy if you use it for yourself.All the best.
Joseph Russell No permit required on private property for non native trees, I made a few work benches and gave some away to a friend to make a table. I still have some left.
no permit and made 10000 baseball bats to beat you with. you liberals need to fuck off with your bullshit questions. ohh by the way i killed 100 ants today for fun, i am trying to ruin the ecosystem 1 ant sacrifice a day.

Hey there , that's some massive trees your working with there. Seems like you got it all figured out because it don't look like your breaking a sweat!
Haha, As long as the saw is kept sharp it's not too strenuous, Lifting those slabs by yourself is pretty hard work though.
Excellent well made video!!! Thanks! I'm anxious to go work on my wood land!!
Great job and a great video too. Good tip about rolling the log with the rope.

I guess if you want some knotty looking body wood. May dig easily. Pine for necks? I wouldn't trust the stability under tension.
Also assuming you meant electric and not as an acoustic "tone" wood.
I like those brackets and extruded rails for your guide. I might have to make something similar.
that's awesome keep it up and just curious how much did you make off that stack at the end?
