The build

On the back of an envelope, literally, I make it £2850 for 150 boards and you've milled more than 3 times that amount. You'd also have to add an arm and a leg for delivery. Excellent investment and, now that you have the mill, you could mill for others, maybe?

Milling for others is the plan. First one will be for the local estate we got the wood off for our house. We’ve got another big pile of logs to turn into fence post for them.
