It all comes down to time. For us, with all the projects we have going on, it doesnt make since to mill our own timber. Now all and all this was a lot of evening work and weekend work. I would guess around 50 hours worth. Although though I’m excited to see that the trees we cut down for the pond build arent going to waste, the entire time i was milling, i couldn’t help but think we could just place an order at a mill, drive up with a trailer, get loaded, and head home and start building.

I will admit, there is a certain satisfaction that came out of milling our own timber with a portable band saw mill. Being able to harvest our own timber and the self reliance aspect of it. But we would still be time and money ahead for the limited amount of projects we have for the homestead.

Obviously there are lots of variables that determine if a mill is right for you and thats something you will have to be able to evaluate for your self. This is simply us sharing our experience and why it wouldn’t be a fit for our homestead to own our own mill.

Thanks for watching the video!
