Question on circular chainsaw mills

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Countryside : One Thread

I was hoping some of you could share your experiences with portable saw mills, what kind you have, what you like about it, what you don't, band sawmills vs. circular sawmills, etc. I would really appreciate it.

I want a sawmill too and from my research a bandsaw will be the cheapest to buy and the best to own. I might even build my own with the parts from Linn mills. Circular saw mills waste wood I'm told, never mind they're twice the price of a band saw. Dimension saws are great for huge cedars but again wasteful and way too much money. Norwood sawmills looked good too.
