In the US, I used to own a Portable Granberg Alaskan Chainsaw mill. It looks to be very similar to the one he is using. They are cheap but slow. The 1/4" kerf of a chainsaw makes a lot of sawdust, burns a lot of fuel/oil. It takes a big chainsaw. I used a Husqvarna 3120XP. You will want to use a ripping chain. I found it useful if you needed to make a beam or something that is expensive to buy. I once cut a 10"X12"X24' hickory beam with it. Not a good use of time to make 2"X6"s though.I don't know anything about logging at all, what is that jig called for the chainsaw? That really neat, and it doesn't look like it's something that would be super expensive either.
