Peregrino,
Many days went by when I would have killed for a smaller chainsaw while logging.
About the sawmill question, No I don't have a saw mill under a tarp BUT and this goes to the roots of this thread:
You can use a chainsaw to make timbers and lumber, even freehand which I have done.
The key here is, if you need to make a bunch of long ripping cuts is to use as big a displacement saw as you can get and the chain has to be sharpened different.
When we look down on top of a saw chain set up for normal bucking the cutting tooth sharpening angle will be something like 25 to 35 degrees from perpendicular to the bar it rides on.
For ripping, re-sharpen the chain to 10 to 0 degrees and make sure all the rakers are as even as possible in height and keep them HIGH so the saw runs faster using less power. This will produce a smoother cut.
