How to make an alaskan chainsaw mill

[stickbowhntr]

Anybody have plans for making a cheap one? I need to do just maybe a dz logs 14" x 8' so that top and bottom are cut flat to use in a wall for my springhouse. Suggestions Ideas? Cant haul to Amish mill as no way to get them there and not enough logs to have log truck in.. Thanks

Do some looking for beam machine.  Bolts to your saw and runs on a 2x4 as a guide.  My uncle borrowed me his home built version.  Very simple device.  Milled a couple of logs as timbers.  It worked.  Wouldn't want to use it for a whole cabin, but just fine for a few logs.  Ripping chain made ALL the difference in the milling.  Local saw shop set me up with the chain for my Stihl.  Good luck.
