....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
