Anyone have plans for building a simple chainsaw mill? Or is it worth the $100 to just go buy an aluminum frame one…

I free hand cut these, and plained them. I could have gotten another slab if I cut a little straighter

Can’t speak to the jig, but can speak to the chain. A ripping chain is essential from the guys I know who have a chainsaw mill. Alternating teeth take a small cut on the right, then the left, then clear the chip. In a sense it gives you more horsepower without requiring a larger saw.

I’ll have to get one then…

The harbor freight one has worked for us great for many years. But as with all harbor freight stuff your mileage may vary.
