I’m a carpenter by trade so owning a mill makes perfect sense .
If you’re handy and don’t mind the work I say go for the mill for sure.
I have a Lucas 10-30 circular mill.
Much more efficient than a band mill if you’re cutting dimensional lumber which was is my main need.
I built a 30x50 pole barn for under $500.
Although I’ll admit I don’t have the final roof on it. Just used recycled billboards for now.
Metal prices were crazy when I was looking to buy and to be honest, the billboards have held up really well and just can’t seem to buy any metal when they are working lol.
I say that to reaffirm you that you 100% can make your money back or offset a ton of the cost . I figure I used over 5k in lumber in that build .
