Welcome.  Everyone here is grinding up something, wood, metal, food.
You will find allot of info on Design/building a mill.
My suggest about mill building:
Design right down the middle of the road, build strong.
Their is no best mill design, just simplicity of build, and reliability.  Performance depends on what your business needs.
Since you have the ability to DIY, you can fabricate some of the other things that make sawmilling more efficient, like tables, trailer with loader, maybe even an edger.
Equip costs a bunch but steel is cheap.

Stay in touch.
