Backstory:
I've been working on removing a 100+ year old Oak tree that fell from a friends land about 3 hours from where I live. Access pretty much requires 4WD and good clearance, and you can forget running to the store for anything you might have forgotten. To that end I've been building various tools from scratch to help remove / process the wood. It's been a year, and I finally got it all after multiple truck / trailer loads. Figured I'd share a couple of the things I made along the way.
A couple pics of the tree

Initially I planned on slabbing everything in the field since I couldn't lift the wood onto a trailer or the back of the deuce. So a trip to the scrapyard yielded some tubing and a homemade Alaskan mill was born.
