Do it yourself sawmill, and more

I am a semi-retired(mostly just tired) cabinet maker from Texas. A few years back I built a sawmill so I could cut my own lumber. I started building log furniture out of the offcuts and scraps. I have just about every tool a woodworker can have and none of them are much use for building log furniture. After looking at what was available on the market for building log furniture I was not impressed. I decided to build a machine designed just for the fast, easy production of log furniture. It functions as a sawmill, a large capacity lathe(10" dia x 108" length, a large capacity mortise machine(24"x96" bed, 14" vertical stroke), and a large capacity drill press. I designed the machine using 3-D solid modeling software. It is built with "off the shelf" parts and components. I would love to hear your comments and opinions(even the negative ones)

Go to dropbox link for a more detailed overview of the machine:
