This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the
PEM curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in
Woodland Care.
Maybe by now we've practiced sawing logs in half with a chainsaw by hand. Let's try to improve our sawing accuracy by making a tool to help with chainsaw milling!
Here's one way to do it:
Minimum requirements:
- Make a chainsaw milling jig
- Can be any style of jig as long as it includes a chainsaw, is for milling logs into lumber/beams and is homemade by you
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
- Milling jig at two points during construction
- Finished jig
- Using jig to saw a log
