New problem...

[PA Dan]

Bigger saw, bigger bar,a mini mill for edging, longer chains with the ultimate sharpen job, auxiliary oiler...no problem!

I like it!

 

[PA Dan]

@PA Dan did you make all those cuts without touching up the chain? I'm guessing so since it was well aged.

Yes I didn't notice my cut speed decreasing and didnt hit any hardware in the log!

I like it!

Hop in the rabbit hole then.

All kidding aside, it really is a fun hobby.

Got the bar and building the saw! I'll look into the rest! It really was a blast! I set up one of the slabs in the living room yesterday on four 12" log legs.... my wife loved it! [emoji16]

Your 044 will work great on a mini mill for edging. If you go really big with the Alaskan a helper handle on the end may be needed for an assist.

For everything my 42" bar can handle, I always feel a "helper" on the other end hurts me more than helps. I need control of how she eats. Maybe it would be different if you have a real good saw operator on the other end, but usually I do not. My dad started to help once and it was not good..

Here's the slab in the livingroom!

 

[PA Dan]

Well you cant pass up deals like this! Thanks @Stump Shot for the list of things I needed! Feels pretty nice in the rabbit hole!

A coworker is dropping off some Black Walnut logs for me to mill! Told him buy me a chain and I'll split the wood with you for doing it. Should have the logs within the next week.

Yep, next thing you know this will be the scene out your back window:

Ummm...I have no hay and I dont pay for wood! The Oak may be doable I'll call and see how far they are and if I can get my neighbors dump truck.

 

[PA Dan]

I would really like to find some Cherry though!

Just think of how much you can charge for the final products. Just a small initial investment for a big return later.

That Cherry is way over an hour north also!

Wasn’t sure about exact location. Cherry is nice. Mr. Lee shared pics of a bookshelf he made with cherry he milled a while back. Awesome color on it.

I used my ported 044 with a 25" bar and a Oregon RD ripping chain. Saw ran well and only issue was my muffler screws came loose so I had to stop and put the muffler back on! Lol!

I dont pay for wood!

Sometimes paying for it is cheaper .
