First time milling w/ homemade csm!

[cruckshank87]

Hi everyone, I posted pics of my setup about six months back finally just now got a chance to do some milling this weekend. I was milling some redwood that was about 18'' at the largest but was a great trial run. Everything worked out fairly well, with a few kinks along the way as expected. I was able to get a few decent slabs that I'll use for sides for garden beds. The chain was sharp and ripped through nicely with the 088. I still have some mods to make but it was a great start thanks to all the great info from everyone on this site! Sorry no pics during the milling process, these were taken afterwards, enjoy! Comments and advice always appreciated
