Almost every home uses at least some wood. We’ve been examining various free and low cost ways of obtaining wood for homebuilding. Yesterday’s blog post mentioned cutting your own wood with a bandsaw sawmill. Again, this is a great way to mill wood for far less expense than store bought lumber. There’s lots of free info about this topic on the Internet. A number of companies such as Wood-Mizer sell bandsaw sawmills. You can also make your own. (Obviously a hot topic on YouTube.) This video shows a homemade mill made for about $500 using mostly salvaged parts.

There is a picture at the link.
You might google 'portable saw mill' for more.

I wonder if it would be practical to make my own boards. All I'd need is a really big saw and some tables, right?

Or is there more to it?
