Being a Georgia redneck and no job ,I been thinking about milling some wood. I started reading the chainsaw section last winter, I started with a poulan then and after a few months reading I'm up to 9 saws now. So I guess I need to switch to the milling section. What about a 12 or 15 hp 4 cycle, vertical shaft with a harvester sprocket and bar mounted horizontally on a carriage? Would the chain speed be to slow? How fast would it cut in a poplar or southern pine about 12 to 20 inches? How about another crazy idea, 2, 4hp electric chainsaws mounted on a 2 ended bar, with a alaskian bar setup? I've been a welder since 1968, so building this wouldn't't be a problem, but the biggest saw I have are 036 and ms 360. Help me out I'm new at this wood thing.
