Board number two look at that so I've been looking forward to this video for quite some
time we've been actually talking about it for months on end but finally we are getting
around to Milling this apple wood that we got in the paddock we got the 592.
I smashed that honor should we say an eBay Amazon Milling setup so hopefully it's going
to work I'm a complete novice so if there is anything I'm doing wrong please let me
know but we're gonna see if the normal domestic homeowner can Mill some wood let's try it
out tested by Machinery nation and a big thank you to Oregon products supplying all the PPE
and sponsor on our Channel as you can see I'm supporting new waipua gloves trousers
boots braces and the new t-shirt and the helmet let's crack on [Music] right so I've cut the
rotten tree roots off and I've got a nice bit of five to six foot worth of Apple drunk
in front of me now one end is rotten but coming down this end it is nice and clean so hopefully
we can get some decent Boards out of it now as I said I am a novice to this so it's my
first time and I have got a bit of a starter set so it's not the most expensive kit in
the world but hopefully it'll get us on the uh the straight and narrow and we can do a
bit more in the future
now I've gone for a GB Titanium Pro which is a 28 inch bar so it's going to give me
about 24 inch boards um obviously it's going to be big enough for this but you guys out
there do Mill in full time and know what you're doing obviously your boards are going to be
huge and massive and you're going to make massive great tables out of them but the principle
behind Milling is making a board and I've set it to about two inches and that'll give
us enough room to finish the wood probably take it down to about an inch and a half so
we make stuff out of it and a Milling chain has basically got a very straight edge on
it so it clears the material very quickly and it gives you a smoother cut than a normal
standard chain so we're going to give it a go and see how we get on and hopefully I don't
up right so I'm from the research I've I've got down off the interweb you need your flat
Edge first so we're going to use a ladder today and we're going to screw it down in
place and then that's going to allow me to do me first cut as such
and then from there we can carry on doing some more boards
you've got the poo in the Shotwell
here we go
right so I've done all my checks I've all set up the chain spins I've set it to four
inches which is going to allow the extra depth taken out on the ladder there we're going
to take our Top Cut first clear that off that'll then give us a nice base to then start planking
so hopefully fingers crossed in a couple of minutes time I might be able to show you a
board

[Music]
[Music] there's the first board oh there he is take her off but we probably won't be using
that one watch yourself well but there you go gives us a nice surface and we can start
Milling now
so there we go we've done our first cut I've now adjusted the mill down to two inches that'll
give us two inch boards so hopefully then we'll be able to make some nice objects
[Music]
[Music] so one thing that is really crucial when you're Milling is make sure you let your
chainsaw cool down there's a really really hot processes Milling because you're basically
you're cutting for several minutes at a time to let your saw tick over lubrication will
get round let it cool down and then shut it off
right so this is the first time I've milled something this size so I'm really really expecting
big things I see all you professional guys doing it all the time on YouTube but this
is the first time I've done it I've got two inch board we're going to flip it over I'm
expecting big things because it is apple wood so it should be nice pretty wood hopefully
then James will be able to use it in another video to make something so let's have a quick
look and see what we've got underneath oh look at that oh it is a bit bit soft in the
middle there which we were actually well we were expecting that but to be honest with
you he's going to be able to make something there's a two three foot long hopefully some
nice chopping boards or something like that but yeah it's a little bit disappointing up
here but we have got some more wood over there that we can try in as well bearing in mind
this is this was a rotten fallen tree so it has lied down for about 12 months so you know
you just don't know what you're gonna get is it it's like potluck like a rattle rattlesnake
and a lucky dip should we say but there we go that's the first board right it seems a
waste for wood like this to be chopped off and only use this bottom half I'm thinking
we could make something and put resin in there so we can router this bit out still keep the
outside that's good and put a resin infill in there and that would look fantastic so
hopefully we'll do that in another video so watch this space

[Applause]

[Music]
right what's up next we got another trunk let's hope it's no problem
there we go top board cut out ready to go a minute
we did have some nice plank wood a little goats seem to be going to town on it so you
can already see with this bit of wood it's harder already so hopefully fingers crossed
we're going to get some really good Boards out of them
[Music] there we go that's better I'm quite impressed with that
[Applause]
foreign
[Music]
all right don't know what you're gonna find in wood to you these days
[Music]
we'll do that we'll do a Roundup
[Music] so there you go guys that's a wrap we've done some million with a 592 XP chainsaw
from Husqvarna we're running a 28 inch Mill I know it's only a cheap meal and you guys
out there that are professional will have something far better than what we've got here
you know and hopefully you can drop us some comments let us know what we're doing right
what we're doing wrong how we can improve we obviously cut that first log up and you
can see it was rotten in the middle but it's still usable there's still bits of wood we
can use there but that second trunk that we cut into is really really good and it's going
to give us some really good products there we can do some resin Paws make some furniture
and that'll be really really good so just remember Oregon products you know they sponsored
us giving us all this PPE so thank you very much to them Chuck their website at oregonproducts.com
you can see their full range there like And subscribe the video and we'll see you in the
next one cheers
