I'll have to take some more pictures. Problem is everything is being used, so I won't have very good pictures. I'll see how things go today. My wife has training so i'll be watching my boy. He's just at the age where you can't take your eye off him for no more then a few seconds, no joke. 2 year...

I have no idea total time. I just milled them kind of like the walnut planks in the pictures and then took a circular saw and cut them to 4 inches wide. I measured them out and took a chalk line to make a straight line. It def took me along time trying to get things right and being the first...

I did not get anything else with the order. The free shipping was for the mill only. I really didn't need anything else. From what I understand the shipping is the same if you order 1 chain or 30 chains.

Well, here is the update incase anyone is wondering how I made out or what I ended up doing. I took the logs down to a sawmill today. I talked to him for awhile about some different things and about maybe milling it my self. After he looked at them and took some measurements he gave me a price...

I made the first few cuts with the 440 because I wasn't sure about mounting the carriage system on the 661 with the captive bar nuts on the clutch cover. I did just end up taking the captive nuts out of the cover and it seems to be working well. I tried afew other things and didn't like them...

I got this Logosol Farmers m8 from Baileys. It was on sale, free Shipping and another $50 off. It was still expensive, but it seems to be working out good. I still have lots of things to learn. Just learning how to mill and how to use this mill all at the same time. There doesn't seem to be a...

I can't believe I didn't get any paint. That's one of the first things you told me to do. I do have them flat along with some oak that I milled and the end did split on one of the walnut. they have not twisted at all but I have a good bit of weight on them. I'm going to take the 3 boards along...

Here is 3 or the boards I got out of the one log. I'm still learning.

Nothing yet. I did talk to a woodworking business about half hour away on Thursday. I may run the two big chunks down and see what he will give me for them, they way they are. I'm still not sure yet. told him I would call him back the first part of the week. I need/want to do something with...

I wish we had more Osage orange around these parts. I've only ever cut one and it wasn't that big. It did make very good firewood though. I didn't realize what it was at the time and thought that I must of hit a rock or something and my chain was dull. I did some reading on it and realized how...

You are correct sir. I'm glad you corrected me. I do remember that now. I was thinking that I wanted to be able to run regular 3/8 and possibly put a longer bar if I wanted to at some point. I forgot all about it being 3/8 LP. I did like the saw, very quick in smaller wood. I just didn't know...

Locust- I demo'd a 241c. I did like it, from what I understand 16 inch is the longest you can go and are only able to run .325. That's exactly how I have my 261 set up now, 16" .325. But if some day I get some "work" done to it I would like to swtich it over to 3/8. Plus I knew what would happen...

40 Inch end- 56 inch end- 9 foot long I hope this works. I posted pictures the other day and it worked it just left the attachments down below. Guess should of just did it the way I did it the other day.

This is a walnut that we just finished cutting down. Part of the tree was taking down last summer. Just wanted to share and see if anyone has any ideas where to start. New to chainsaw milling. Not even sure where to start. I'm thinking that it could be valuable to the right person if it is...
