The actual sawing is easy. It’s the moving of the logs and then handling of the lumber that’s the hard part. You might be lucky and move the logs with a machine but The stacking and stickering the lumber by hand is where the hardest work is. I’m assuming you don’t have much desire to own a sawmill anymore. Good luck with the projects you have in mind for the lumber

Thats why I only cut for a few friends! --- they mostly have small short logs and bring help to put them on my mill. They just do it for fun----NOT high production! --- everybody goes home tired but happy! lol!
