Using a Timber Tuff Lumber Cutting Guide

Very cool 👍🏼

Good demo for the real world and people who do not have a thousand dollars into a chain saw. Nice to see you can do it with a $200 chainsaw.

If you score the full length of the log two or three times before you make the whole plank cut it will work easier.

Please your Mobile no

Nice, one of the very few people to actually use this correct. Nice video!

Sharpen your chain every time you fill the gas tank.

Nice video, thanks for posting

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences! Greetings from Germany!

Chain is dull but nice toy

Good video and a good dad.

Respect.

I’ll be putting mine to good use this summer making log benches for all of my campers here in Yacolt, WA.

I can't decide between a timber Tuff and a proper chainsaw mill. I do see that you can't get only boards (There will be 1 x 4x4 beam every log). But even that I guess you could rip free hand into a semi rough 2x2x4. The screwing on a board every cut tells me a chainsaw mill would potentially be faster however you need to stop and hammer in falling wedges multiple times working horizontally. I thank you for your video and the insight.

It looks good

Thanks for the video I have one on the way.Looking forward to trying it ! Cheap enough to get your money's worth and satisfaction of making your own boards! 🇨🇦

GET THE RIGHT TREE TO FCKIN CUT.....not that one bonehead sooooo knotty no wonder youfck up

Soft chinesium metal. I suggest putting a sleeve over the bolt (shaft) in the middle. Also tac weld the bolt at the connection between bolt shoulder and chainsaw bar mount. The pin connecting the bolt to the bar is also soft.
Or just buy a horizontal type that connects to the bar at two point. I recommend having both types.

👍👍👍👍👌👌👌класс!!!

Seesaw technique no ! Keep it vertical

Looks like you're having a grand time! Trees with knots and branches will always be more difficult to plank, but those boards look fine.

I cut mine the same last year .. went back to it and tried dragging the end of the saw along instead . making shallow rip cut.. the end result was much cleaner with no warp

ripping chain is 10º

I remember a video about using a swing motion to cut more efficiently, I see you used a rocking motion. Thinking of ways to reduce the rubbings. Thanks for the post.

Why you have to cut backwards??

You were pushing against the tide from the start with the shape of that log, that thing was brutal. Just a lot of extra live edge cuts you had to do to get to the meat and potatoes of that that log. Carefully pick and choose your tree to mill. Minimum branches, straight as an arrow etc. The less cuts you have to do the better. Get your log higher off the ground. Good demonstration of the tool. Thx!

Just screw a boar onto remaining beam and you can continue to mill out 1" boards

Thanks, I’m going to order one ….just to make shelves in the shed and a play house for the kids. I have tree service(free wood) and an old ms391 Just sitting around that might do well with it.

Nice job. I'm going to be trying this on an oak log. You cautioned against it, but why not just try? :)

get a chainsaw that matches that helmet and I think it would go faster!

Log looks like it's full of knots pretty tough to keep a straight cut with a true log had a strange shape also thinking it might have been a good piece of fire wood. Better luck on your next attempt.

Hey brother 👋 thanks for the review.
I saw righy away your chain was dull. It was kickin out dust. But im glad you cought it, and sharpened up.

And the name type of chain you should use is called a "ripping chain"

I just purchased this mill and did some research before hand.
Your video helped me decide awhile ago I wanted on, so thank you.

Once my ripping chain comes in the mail im gonna try it out for myself.

I plan to mill out some guitar bodies from a giant maple that fell, also a few fallen black walnut trees.
The grain on the maple has worm holes all in it so I think it would be cool.
The balck walnut has a nice white and dark grain contrast, being almost black in the middle. I think it will look beautiful after stain or maybe even some poly.
Anyway thank you for the video. It was fun.
And its actually almost the same day you filmed this video that I came here today, so I feel things will go really well. Im subscribing btw. That video was done really well.
Thanks again. Stay safe.

Genial, quiero una. Saludos desde Perú

The best simples methods ldeas that we can use on sawmill machines like thus .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🤩😎

My Timber Tuff Cutting Guide just arrived at my home today. Can't wait to use it. Loved your video. A ripping chain DEFINITELY would have made a difference. For a Husqvarna 240 to rip through a burly , knotty , super dense grained log of fir , well I'm pretty darn impressed. You could definitely see that your crosscut chain was producing lots of "powder" instead of shavings , I'm sure that your saw needed a really good cleaning and keep an eye on the air filter to protect your saw. Absolutely loved to see your daughter and her goats. I had a goat when I was a little boy , best pet I ever had. "Jim" would come with me in my old Ford PInto , sittin' up in the passenger seat.

easier to make shallow cuts with this setup. It';s basically the top swinging method for freehand, but with a guide. You want only 2-3 teeth to contact the wood at a time.

Bro just got mine out today first time and the bar mount came loose and wrecked my chain any ideals on how to make set screws hold better

Hard to make candy out of dog shit.

Good job, Greg. But you should know better than to use an unsharp chain!! Plus, you should be using a ripping chain, 10 deg. teeth to cut along the grain. A cutting chain will become dull quickly when ripping a log.
You're a better plumber!! LOL

I just tried a new type of chain which is a carbide teeth chain I should of use that along time ago it works very good very impressed stay sharpen all day

De colombis como lo consigo

I have the timber tough but I use a different angle on the chain

You need a ripping chain and you will find a very small hole on each side of the front of the guide bar. These holes are to grease the wheel/sprocket in the tip/front end of your guide bar. You can find a chainsaw grease gun on Ebay.

I spent $24.00 Amazon . I clamp it down on a electric chain saw and it worked good. I use a 2x4.

I enjoyed the video. Your cutting style was spot on for that sawmill device you have by getting on top of it. The positive on side cutting is not having to use wedges all the way down. The negative is it may be harder to get it to cut flat as uniform as a horizontal Alaskan Chainsaw setup. It may be more prone to hitting the dirt and dulling a chain if not careful also. I do like the idea of not having to use wedges. If one is doing a rough lumber project and want to do it quicker the Timber Tuff may be the trick. I myself am getting set up for an Alaskan Mill set up, but I do think that I will get a Timber Tuff as well because I can see that it has a simple set up and could be more useful for different situations or projects.

That turned out pretty well!😎 Just think how good the boards will turn out next year when you dig out the old Timber Tuff!

Just ordered this bad boy and am going to study this video

Ya I should try that to, great stuff ,

Need ripping chain - 10 degree angle 😅

Very useful, I thank you.

Very useful if you set it up correctly

Thank you for mute ing the chainsaw noise for the most part. I think that would be a rough tree to train on.
