How to mill Video

The jig & saw tipping at the the end of a cut will be greatly reduced if you have the handle bracing bar in the centre of the plank.

Obviously this won't be possible if you're using a welded jig where the bars are fixed.

Not instruction but shows the whole process, enjoy cheers Blaisey

 

What are you painting onto the boards and is that to reduce the risk of it splitting as it seasons?

 

Any advice on stickers would be appreciated too. Is there an optimal size and spacing?

cheers, steve

Just read through your thread, makes me want to get milling again. I must invest in a winch looks like it makes things much easier.

I just have a few questions for you if you don't mind. Firstly what bar and chain combo are you using and do you sharpen by hand or with a graneberg sharpener? I notice you get your boards super smooth!

Also do what do you make your stickers from? or do you buy them?

 

Cheers for the videos, very helpful!

The winch is a game changer. Its a 60" Stihl bar and the chain is Stihl Ripping chain. Only because its from the Stihl dealer about 10 minutes down the road. On the 87" double end I got the chain from RobD (chainsawbars.co.uk) so not to sure. Sharpen always with the Graneberg From Rob, the precession on the teeth is the key to flat boards. Stickers I buy pine Door stops by the bundle its not the cheep way but the trunks I'm doing warrant the extra expense for the client, or staining from them.

 

Pleasure is all mine thanks James.
