So I was tinkering with some mill mock-ups last night, and I started scribbling some designs. In the process of doing so, I improvised a possible *cheat* for those of us that lack a longer chainsaw bar. My initial thought was of constructing an Alaskan type chainsaw mill, but employing a double sided track, similar to a paper clip. This would allow the sawyer to cut down one side of a log, rotate, and then finish the other side. Since the bar length would be shorter, in theory it wouldn't suffer from nearly as much sag as a larger counterpart. The first side to be cut would have kerf-sized spacers placed to compensate for sagging so that the other side can be cut. Thoughts on this?
