Thanks Big J for your advice, I sense your annoyance that someone is stupid enough to try this but everyone has to start somewhere and hopefully learn by their mistakes.

 

I've done an extensive google search for mobile bandsawmill and as yet have come up with nothing nearby, short of buying my own.

 

Alec, that's what I do with my first cut too.

 

Please don't think that I'm annoyed! It's just having gone through the back breaking chainsawmilling everything stage of my milling career, I'm keen to try to help others through it too. It's important to do your own milling, but equally important to know when to delegate it out as well.

 

Good idea on the first cut +1. Hadn't thought of that.

Chainsaw milling is a great intro into the world of milling timber and there's a lot of people out there that prob wouldn't have ever milled timber if not for them (inc me!)

 

 

I'd stick a fresh thread up titled 'mobile bandsaw required (area you need one)' as you'll have more chance of getting a reply.

 

 

With bandsaw milling the disadvantage is you will need a way of getting the logs to the mill - sometimes this is just not practical.

Big J your advice is always welcome and greatly valued.

 

Rob, I feel getting the logs out of the wood and onto the mill will be the biggest issue which is why I've always stuck to the alaskan.

 

Thanks to everyone for the advice
