Portable Sawmill Plans from Procut Portable Sawmills to Build Your Own Sawmill. Here are the most frequently asked questions from the many e-mails and phone calls I receive.
When you have read everything at this site, please go to my other site at www.sawmillchainsaws.com for information on how to take care of your chainsaw bar, how to file your chain, and info on different chains for milling. I have never built anything like this, is it really possible? A very large yes to this. When I was designing Procut I gave the completed sawmill plans to a high school student and a doctor without any experience and asked them to build Procut. They kept a record of the hours spent and detailed notes on what they found difficult or needed more explaining. I have never cut lumber before, do you give any hints? What welder should I use? What size log will it cut? Expanding Procut? Extending Procut? How fast will Procut cut lumber? What chainsaw would be best?

Panther Chainsaw Mills. The Panther Pro chainsaw mills are a carriage type, which are physically the easiest to use as well as very accurate due to the double clamp design, also logs can be left at ground level negating the need to raise logs to a comfortable working height which is recommended when using other style mills.
These mills are very smooth and feature a throttle mounted on the push bar for added comfort. They are available in a homeowner’s/hobbyist or HH version which is meant for occasional hobbyist use and is a single post design. (15”, 18”, 22”) they are meant to be used with smaller chainsaws and some counter weighting or auxiliary oiler may be needed for larger saws. Oue HD mills are meant for bigger logs and to also be put to work if need be, I have many earning a living using these mills. Small four stroke motors (up to 7.5 hp) can also be mounted on these, in place of using a chainsaw. Create Your Homestead Blog in 6 Steps.
Many of my readers are just getting started with their own homesteading journeys, and in some cases their own homesteading blogs.
Today we’ve got a guest post from Rob Russo about how to get your blog off to a strong start – or give it a jump start if you’re not attracting as many readers as you would like. You are a homesteader if you’ve milked a cow, dyed your own wool and cleaned a coop — all before 10am. Or perhaps you are a city dweller with three chickens and the word “canned” reminds you of dinner options instead of “getting fired” from your desk job. Either way, if you are reading this via desktop, laptop, e-reader or mobile device, you don’t live off the land *so* much that you’ve given up the modern convenience of technology. It’s true, while my wife and I purchased a few acres and love our chickens, we each are connected to our iPhone and laptop.
If you have a homestead blog — or are eager to create one — here are a few things to consider before jumping in with both feet. Happy Homestead - Self-sufficiency and survival.
