I'm thinking about building a micro-sawmill this fall/winter. I'm thinking something light enough for a fit person to reasonably carry several hundred yards, but still be a 2-3x upgrade to a chainsaw mill.
I'm thinking something that could be built in a home/farm shop for say, a thousand to two thousand US$ in materials.
What technology would you consider and how would you think about this?
I want something I can carry to trees that are otherwise relatively inaccessible but where the lumber can still be carried out.
Maybe 15 or possibly 20 amp electric so it can be run off of a portable generator that can be carried separately.
