I brought one a few months and have found a lot of uses for the planks.I hopefully got a job coming up for £900 worth of planks. It takes a little practise to get the planks smooth. Rob sells ripping chains as well.

fantastic tools, great satisfaction in using them, and very easy to use

I used an alaskan mill a lot in my early days of milling and furniture making.

With practice i managed to mill some fantastic boards from timber i couldn't get to roadside. Its not easy and I'm sure my back has never recovered. I have attached some Pict's of things i have made from timber i milled with alaskan mill. First time i have tried to attach images so apologies if i have not done it right, bit to technical for me.
