Very nice poplar log, usually don’t see them that clean. Your tripod idea to lift the logs will be a back saver when you’re alone. Hope you guys are having a good spring/summer. Stay safe, stay well
Give you Credit Sir 100 That's Hard Work !! Just wanted to Stop in and see how you all been doing Hope its Warm up there Now lol Cant Wait to see the Spring & Summer Videos !! Thank You for your Time...
Super interesting! My father used to eyeball it, and we'd have some wonky wood at times haha. Great to know there's actually a better way for home wood processing :)
Great video, I'm working on getting a mill like this together myself. What is the metal dimensions for the rails you have? As far as thickness and size. I want to make sure I get something strong enough to support saw and get nice straight boards but don't want to go way over board. Thank you
Tons of beetle kill around here to mill! About the rails...do you have any issues with them flexing in the middle and getting a curved board? How long of a log could you cut before that became an issue with those 2x2 rails?
Great videos thank you. I live in Sudbury Ontario and I was wondering what local fabricator did you use to get your end plates built. And where did you get your steel 2 x 2 tubing. If you don’t mind telling me I would really appreciate that. Thank you
5/32" x 2" x 2" steel tubing, bought locally. The end plates are 1/4" x 12" x 5". The notches for the rails are about 1-3/4" deep so that the 2" rails sit a bit proud. These were cut locally by a metal fabricator.
You and your wife are awesome, I've milled like this for decades and pleases me to see some of the younger generation is putting in the work !
Where can I get that same setup as his? The plates and bars?

My back always aches. But love watching you work.
Well made video. Educational too. Thanks.
These are great and helpful. Thank y’all
Awesome video and useful info! Miss you guys!
We miss you too Shawn!
Good job!!!! I learned something for the future!!
Good information thanks
If only we had beautiful soft wood like that here in Tasmania. It is all hard and heavy down here.
we are loaded with Tulip Poplar !
Great video. Did you make your end plates or did you buy them somewhere?
Granberg edging mill is a great tool for making the 90 degree cut/s without turning the log
Is this where I say... "I just cant." (Bad pun. Awesome video!)

Very nice. What the drying time for those boards?
please put hook me up with the link for the end plates. Idk where to buy them and it seems like a better way for smaller stuff than my aluminum ladder
My back hurts just watching
This is all new for me. What type of saw is it that you are using. I didn't realize a saw mill could be so portable.
It's a Stihl 880, their biggest saw, though you could do a log this size with smaller saws (the 660 would be good).
Where can I get that setup at?
Nice video. But did you ever think about wearing a back brace so you don't strain your back
Side Plates. Steel. Eventually the chain will hit the bottom of the plate - causing heartburn. Why not well crafted plywood? - Joe -
Is there some place I could buy side plates or a template?

Nice job! What sawmill do you have and would you rec'd it? I have a 661 and some 30in logs. Thanks
The Granberg MkIV, with a Stihl 880. Would definitely recommend it, have produced a lot of lumber with it!
Popular is supposed to be light.
When dry it is, but wet it’s heavy
