    Woodmizer LT20 portable saw mill up for auction in my neck of the woods. Sure looks like it would be a lot of fun to play with. Could mill my own lumber, Shawn Curry style! Heck, if ten of us went in together, it would only be a couple hundred bucks each! What could go wrong? IMG_2398.PNG IMG_2397.PNG

    If it was closer I would pick that up. Thinking of building a few sheds and another barn. It would be great to use lumber from our own forest.

    I agree. If I could get out of the lumber contract I signed a year and a half ago I think I would buy it. Then I could drop the trees and mill the lumber myself. I would really like to make something cool for the mancave from lumber that came from my own woods. If I try hard enough, I might be able to justify bidding on this thing.

    It's the NEW math. I don't know if you have any kids in school or not, but they do things MUCH different nowadays!
