My first steps into chainsaw milling!
I always wanted to make my own beams or special cuts that aren't available or very expensive at a sawmill. The system described in the video is the easiest way to start you only need a 2.5+ horsepower chainsaw preferably bigger.

some basics:
- 50cc don't take a bar bigger then 50cm and cut beams, Cutting the sides of is softer wood and thinner then the core.
- 70cc you can go to 70cm bar to cut whatever you like.
- 90cc is the biggest I've seen people combine it with an 1.5meter long bar

a thinner chain cuts faster, but also breaks faster :)

One of my major projects is a mini mill of some kind. I have long wanted to cut my own lumber.

There are several companies that create portable saw mills. It appears that the mills have the ability to create a variety of commercial grade lumber products.

You mentioned that the wood from the lumber yards have been going up in price.  I think it would be possible for individuals and small groups to create a profitable business turning local wood into lumber. There are still a few people in this world willing to pay a premium for local products.

[Wood Mizer](https://irivers.com/page/woodmizer) has been making portable mills since 1982.

[Woodland Mills](https://irivers.com/kewl.html?dt=2023-01-19) has a lower cost mill.

I do know both mills they require quite some space and you need hundreds of logs to make it worth the time and space :) 
The thing with those mills are you cant bring it to the log, so you need to be able to move the log. That's not always possible because of cost, mud, single tree in middle of field, someones backyard, mountain area etc.

Alaskan sawmill or the beam machine are similar products portable by hand.

The mills I examined were quite expensive. They also assume that the mill operators would buy expensive trucks to tow the mills. Their sites show a $10K mill towed by a $80K truck. 

Portable wood mills is a new industry. I would not be suprised to find entrepreneurs who could make better, lighter and more portable designs.

Good luck.
