Not bad at all for first effort. A couple of (hopefully!) constructive criticisms:

 

* Get a couple more handles onto the mill. It's best to be able to vary your hand positions regularly. Additionally, the one you have is back to front.

 

* On large logs particularly, it pays dividends to have a second person guiding the far end of the mill to stabilise the saw. You get a much cleaner finish and less of the deep gauging.

 

Otherwise, excellent and keep on milling!

Some great pics there thanks for posting! :biggrin:

 

 

I still sit back after cutting some meaty planks like this and think that it's pretty amazing what a chainsaw can do...

 

 

Did you saw these all with the Alaskan or re saw them with the Logosol? If with the Logosol could you put on some pics as I often have Logosol owners asking if the Alaskan is worth having for milling larger butts.
