u got a mini mill big beach if ur putting wood into 4x4 posts instead of moving the 2ft-3ft slabs just move the slabs of wood 5-6 inchs of the trunk wood and rip the mini mill down it saves with the heavy lifting and u have a 4x4 post straight away for lifting chainsaw milling can be a hard game so try to make it easy on ur body why u cant

that lump of oak u would mill that in half a day mate if u was just starting in milling and took ur time over learning u would do it in a day little things u learn like if u have more than 1 trunk to mill take the first cut off every trunk u have to mill saves to setting the depth up 2-3-4 time etc if the customer wants 2-3and 4 inch bords etc and u have 3 trunks say run a 2 inch cut on all 3 trunks the same with 3inch and 4 inch bords hope that make sence just saves time setting the depths before u get to site try work out what size bar u will need and put the mill together when ur at home for some reasion it always seems quicker at home than on site
