Here is my chainsaw mill for those who haven’t seen it. I folds up into a small package you can put into your car. 4 pieces total. The beauty of this is I only load the logs once, then leave them on my trailer to cut.
In use, I load the logs on my trailer, then with 2 screws, screw the mill to my trailer. Roll a log in place, Clamp the log down with scrap wood at each end, and cut. There is a pulley system to make the cutting easier. Make all cuts down one side, raising the saw for each cut. Usually it takes 3 cuts for each side to get 2) 5″ blanks. Then slide/turn the log around and cut down the other side lowering the saw as you go.
The saw is at 5″ from the trailer bed at its lowest cut and at 45 degrees. If you want the less than 5″ thick slab after you cut the blank, just raise the blank up using scrap wood and cut it again.If the log is big enough I’ll do this to take the bark off this first side. A 20″ chainsaw will cut about 16″ deep on each cut.
If the 2 cuts didn’t cut completely through the log just turn on its side and finish the cut by hand.
The mill is 15″ x 6′. You can easily adjust the length by adding sections.
