There is a heap of info aroudn on chainsaw mills

You need a mondo big saaw for it to work, and these don't come cheap. a bandsaw mill has less waste and cuts faster, but costs more. There are some homemandeones around if you google for them - know any good engineers of fabrication shops? The other alternaive i have done in the past is to get a protable mill onto site, or take the logs to a sawmill. Milling your timber can save a lot of money, in exchange for hard work G
