Did some looking around today on the web and found several good sites about the timberjig!
The first one is here

This guy is building a timber frame house and is using the Timberjig and the M7 in the process.
Here is his page on the M7 where he is milling a big chunk of hickory:

Also, another great site about the Timberjig can be found here:
http://www.caept.com/urbanlumberharvesting/index.html
The author has since upgraded to a Woodworkers mill, and what he has written is a well presented account of his first involvement in urban lumber harvesting and his purchases related to that over the past few years. He first saw Logosol mills at a woodworking show in Novi.

I have a 2 year old Stihl MS260 chainsaw. Instead of a 2 bolt bar attachment I have a flip up clip wing nut style bar attachment. It is really handy in the field because you need no tools to open. It doesnt lend to attaching the timberjig however. Anyone ever successfully converted or created a bracket without ruining a $400 saw?
You saw's not big enough for really effective and practical ripping. I have an MS260 and an MS460 Magnum. I wouldn't recommend even trying with the smaller saw even if you could get a converter.
