New Sawmill!

It's a Lumbermate 2000, has a 23 HP engine, is powder-coated bright orange, and generally speaking is a notch up from the home made version. Mike has only just got it assembled (it came in many boxes and could almost all fit in the back of our truck), and only just made his first cut (as of October 2004). He has already commented that he came "very close" to having a professional quality sawmill in his own design, but there was just enough tweaking necessary that he bit the bullet and bought a new one!
