For you guys with Alaskan type mills, how do you secure your rails to the log to make the first cut? If you're using screws, how do you make sure they don't end up in the line of fire?
What kind of rails are you using?I'm fairly new here too. But I've done a few oak logs. I just used 3 inch screws and tried my best to angle them straight into the log instead of down. So far I'm batting a 1000.
Simple straight 2×4s nothing special. I made sure they were true and longer then what my logs were. My oak l9gs were only 20 inches in diameter. So an aluminum ladder was just a bit wide to sit on them the way I wanted. But I kept it simple.
