In the process of cutting firewood I came across some realy nice logs that i just would rather not burn. Looking into milling options I came across the alaskan mill. I shamefully decided to copy granbergs design. All materials are recycled from some other project, job, or purpose, some tweeked a bit to fit my needs. Only items I purchased for the build were 4- 5/16 rod couplings, 2 finish caps for the top of the square stock, and the longer bolts for the bar pinching brackets.I had a ton of fun building it, many hrs of engineering and fab(late late nights in the shop). Happy with the way it turned out. Plan to try it very soon as I just got all the wood split and stacked!!:Bounce. I will post up some pics of the results. I only have a 25" bar on the saw wich will give me 17-18 max cutting width. Max thickness would be 16". I dont want to beat up my new saw too much so I plan to get the old Jonny 920 running to use as the mill powerhead. Gonna have to try it with the 460 first though. Cant wait any longer. Bar is fixed with an oregon ripping chain. Heres some pics of the mill......................
