Put your chainsaw to work and turn logs into valuable lumber

You probably already have a chainsaw and ladder in your garage right now. What could you build if you had your own sawmill? For small to mid-sized logs, we recommend a 50 cc or larger chainsaw with ripping chain. For mid-sized to larger logs, or faster cutting, we recommend a 65 cc or larger chainsaw with ripping chain. Maximum bar length: 22" (56 cm).
