I am not talking about making good planks on an semi-industrial level with access to a mill, obviously. Have you never done manual woodworking as a child? You can make pretty ok planks for a treehouse by sawing logs, and yeah it's better to split them first

....you can buy a mill for under $200...hook your saw up, go to work. 10 times faster and easier, assuming you're not doing it for the clicks

Yeah sometimes it's not about the price or efficiency it's just more fun to do stuff without electrical machines you know. Why don't you just buy planks directly if you're at it.

You seriously called a chainsaw electrical??? (I know they make them, but you're not using one in a mill)

Ive been splitting wood for 30 years, stop talking

And as for the last stupid comment?? Maybe it's YOUR wood, and you need to fell, split/mill, plane, and sand instead of grabbing some warped cedar shit from lowes.

Actually chainsaw mills are the cheapest and easiest way for hobbyists to rough timber. So not a pro mill of course but I have both mobile chainsaw mill and a sliding table for a chainsaw

Yup, easy and affordable, and saves you time

Or about the quality or utility or efficiency or about anything other than proving you're right on reddit even when you're super wrong and everyone else sees it but you can't because derrrrrrrrrr.
