After piddling for 11months on it, i am almost done. I used a 14hp motor, 1 inch acme threads, 19inch pulleys, cooks blade guides. I can cut 25inch wide and 17 foot logs. I cut my first log and it cut great. It even surprised me! This is my first posting, can anyone help me post pictures?

     The build and the sawing look great!  But I'd think hard about some blade guard covers if I were you...

YellowHammerisms:

Take steps to save steps.

If it won't roll, its not a log; it's still a tree.  Sawmills cut logs, not trees.

Kiln drying wood: When the cookies are burned, they're burned, and you can't fix them.

Sawing is fun for the first couple million boards.

jeremyt19,welcome to the forum. The lube system can be simple,gravity,with 2 valves,one to adjust it just right and one to turn off and on. New to sawing? And yes on the guards for the blades. I know you wanted to make sure it sawed good,but now take the time to cover the blade. I've had a few come off,mine is manual like yours, and things can happen fast. That looks good!!
What's the plan for the lumber?

Nice and welcome. Looking forward to more post.

Thanks for all the comments. I got a lot of ideas from yalls mills.Well i got some quotes to get some wood to build a 26x26 barn and it was kinda high so i thought i should just go ahead and build a saw mill. I got $1200 in it. I feel like that was pretty good for what i got.

That's a nice looking mill you built.     :) 
Measure twice, cut once

I hope you post some pictures of the barn build also, That way I can turn even greener with envy.  So now the real work begins.
Good luck
