A bandsaw mill powered by a gas engine is something I also have been
kicking around for some time myself. I have lots of large pines and
oaks on my property that I would like to cut into rought lumber for
building odds and ends with around the barn etc. I could easily get
all my required firewood from the larger limbs and utilize the main
trunks for some usefull lumber.
