Have you used a chainsaw mill? I thought about getting one down the road to square up logs to be able to fit larger ones on the bandsaw mill. A buddy of mine made one out of an extension ladder.Looks better than what I could do with a chain saw. I could see that if you had a good flatbed trailer to haul it around on, a need for untreated wood, a lot of mid size trees, a tractor or bobcat, a lot of time and a real nice wood working shop. ;-)

No but I've seen them. I guess if you have a good saw and a long bar it could at least provide basic wood to be used for crafts or even home made furniture. I used that wood I sliced up with the chain saw to make stuff for the gun range which would get destroyed anyways.Have you used a chainsaw mill?

Sometimes the crooked wobbly wood looks better I think.No but I've seen them.

Well when it's basically free lumber, you just need to make it, I guess you can afford to be more creative.Sometimes the crooked wobbly wood looks better I think.
I am paying $350/1000bd' for pine 2x10 and 2x4, and $400/1000bd' for poplar 1x10 for exterior(Dutch lap) and interior walls and ceilings. No sheetrock! The concrete blocks are to be delivered today and the sawmill supposed to be done next week.For my own use, I like working with wood and metal and am about to start building a cabin on a piece of land I bought. I want the entire interior custom and made of local wood. For what they charge for any lumber that is not a 2x4 now days this piece will pay for itself in no time. It also opens me up to another world of neat things I can build. I'm excited.
Thats a pretty good price. I don't have that option near me, the mills closed down so I would have to travel.I am paying $350/1000bd' for pine 2x10 and 2x4, and $400/1000bd' for poplar 1x10 for exterior(Dutch lap) and interior walls and ceilings.

Really? Never heard if that. I need to dig into that.Fun factoid:
The US gov will give you a grant for your sawmill under "preserving the arts".
This time around I'll get one without the trailer and log loader. I still want the log turner and the toe adjuster though. I'll set this one up permanent under roof and load with my tractor. A board return table would be nice too.Buddy of mine had a Woodmizer in the 90s. No hydraulics, but it was a great mill. Thats what ill go for if I ever get one
Good point, for flat ground. I have very little flat ground here. Plus many of the logs that I would saw could come from a couple miles away.My buddy had to turn down people he had so many wanting him to custom saw for them.
A Tractor to load it would be a great addition. I like the trailer to take it and cut where you drop a tree. Makes handling the wood easier.
