Diy sawmill plans

[Treeman85]

Hey, first I'd like to say I'm new here. I'm a tree man by trade and I like to start a new side hustle with logs from jobs. I want to build a sawmill cheap easy, down and dirty lol. Looking for plans and tips and advice. Thank you all in advance.....side note...broke as hell so looking for low cost

Well, welcome to the forum, first thing I would suggest is there are LOTS of sawmill build threads on this forum. Time to start reading, these guys make some really nice mills. Take your pick.

If you plan to build your own mill there plenty of sites/people on the forum that have, lots of good reading, I was going to build my own band mill and started collecting parts, auctions were a good, less expensive way for me.  Bought a upright wood bandsaw with 19" wheels that would take an 1 1/4" blade for about $100.00 at the auction. Was going to modify that for the head. I picked up couple of old park model 40' RV trailer frames, one free the other $100.00 to use to build the frame out of. I got several Wisconsin motors at an auction, one twin and one v4 plus parts of another v4 for $50.00. so look around there are materials out there reasonable. However after gathering much of the materials, I found on craigslist a Mighty Mite bandsaw reasonable and bought that instead.
