Just got done building my new mill. Used plans from Linn Lumber and well worth the price. Here's a few pics;

Yes. 1996 210SL. Great little machine.Is that a JCB hoe your pulling your mill with?
So do you have any rough cost breakdown for all us drooling over your nice work? It would be really interesting to find out how much you spent vs. the cost of a new mill.
Thanks
Including the cost of the motor, I have about $2000 into the carriage only. I don't know about the track because I used the old assembly from my chainsaw mill and reworked the dogging system with steel I already had from other jobs. The only thing I added to the track was the winch for log turning. Everything in the track assembly is pretty heavy stuff tho, so if you had to buy everything new, I'd estimate another $2000. But there's nothing that says you need to use 2" X 5" X 3/8" wall tubing for the mainframe or 7" channel for log bunks either. You could do the job nicely with lighter material, I just like things stronger than they have to be!So do you have any rough cost breakdown for all us drooling over your nice work?
