Just finished this mini-style-mill today. Only need to work on a remote throttle trigger and I will be finished. Probably do something similar to BobL's version.
I built this mill to side cut logs or to trim milled slabs. I have the rails set with a very snug fit (no excess space between rails and guides) and plan in the future to use needle bearings instead of sliding the mill across the guide rails.
I did set the handle up so that I will be working from the left had side of logs. I'll be taking it to the hills this week to give it a try on some pine trees a friend just had cut down this week.
Here are a few pictures of the mill and guide rail.
