Love doing wood working. Very much interested in cutting my own lumber and using that lumber to make things such as , furniture , shelving , or anything that I can imagine . Took schooling for carpentry , and have been making items all my life . lumber is getting too expensive , so I decided to make my own.

Hi Dale - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

I hear you on that one; I live in a forest! So are you looking to make something like an Alaskan mill?

Hi Dale,

Welcome!

What sort of woodworking do you most enjoy? Processing one's own lumber sounds interesting, if ambitious. Let's see some pics of the process…

Hi Dale. Yes, lumber, like a lot of other things, is getting quite expensive. I've got much respect for guys who do their own logging and end up with finished pieces. Welcome to the forums!
