Chainsaw mill is finally finished

[serioussam]

I pretty much copied the mill from Tjs woodshop by looking at his pictures he has posted
I'm running a 2101xp with a 28" bar ,
The carriage can handle a 32" bar
The tracks are 20 feet and can handle a 16 footer easily
I did a test cut with a 5 foot red pine and the lumber turned out really well

Thanks ,Ya it was a lot of work, it took me almost 2 months of weekends to build

I added a deflector shield on each side by the base of the threaded rod to eliminate sawdust on the tracks . They seem to work really well cutting both ways .I also added rubber scrapers

I can make that lumber any day, but that mill is a piece of art.
