Before you buy a portable sawmill be sure to check out this video in which I talk about things I wish I knew about sawing logs before I made the sawmill purchase. While I was able to predict what using a portable sawmill was like before I bought my sawmill, I certainly didn't foresee many of the other things that go along with owning a portable sawmill at that time. Today I"ll talk about those extra things that you may want to consider before you press the "pay now" button and start down the road to portable sawmill ownership. Many of the things I talk about today may seem obvious but yet the true effort involved in their completion may be underestimated. In today's episode I"ll tell you exactly how it is and why owning a sawmill is a great way to make lumber, but a lot of work. If you're thinking to yourself that making lumber from a tree yourself is an easy and quick way to save some money, think again. Yes you'll likely save money but there is some additional considerations in play that will get you thinking more about the entire process or taking a tree into a finish piece of lumber. Regardless, the reward is worth the effort in my opinion and with that, I hope all of you get a chance to enjoy sawing just like I do. Thanks for watching folks, here we go!
