I messed up someway and didnt get the pics attached to the first post, here they are.

I havent been around here much the last few months because I have been building a portable sawmill in my spare time. I finished it today and cut my first log on it and I havent been able to quit grinning yet!!! Here's a few photos of it making the first cuts

Howdy Marshall, I dont have room from it either thats the reason I made it portable. I still have a few bugs to work out but I am very happy with the way it turned out.

Wow! I think I'll stick to Lowes or Home Depot but I admire your workmanship and energy.

Thank ya'll for all the nice comments. It will be nice to start milling my own wood again, I think I was down to about a 50 year supply so I was getting kinda nervous. LOL
