to clarify a bit more: if you cut with the top of the bar, it pushes the saw away from what you are cutting. if you cut with the bottom of the bar, it pulls...
If you are mounting the whole thing on a truck or on a trailer, I don't know why you would opt for the blade to be stationary and move the log: a 33 foot long...
boy have you guys got my mind working over time, sounds like you want to have a truck powered twin saw, try not to re-invent the wheel, it would be cheaper to...
a standard rule of thumb is to only cut with a max of 75% of the bar with a normal chain, once you go over an 18 inch log it is advisable to use a 1 skip chain...

Kelly, I don't have any answers for you but I was fascinated by your niche market strategy and have some questions. Do you kiln dry your lumber? I'd be afraid...
Hey Paul, Nice job, pretty simple. That's sort of what I had in mind, but I wasn't sure it would work. So how do you go about using that mill? Do you have any...
