Purchased a TimberKing 1220 way back in 2010 and certainly the most important and best investment I have ever made for my woodworking HOBBY!!! Not only can a sawmill cut logs into lumber, blocks, cones, victorian restoration projects, blanks for lathe turning, and etc. A sawmill WILL expand your knowledge, your imagination, your creativity, your inspiration and your limited time here on this planet. Let me make this very very clear, you will spend your money on many things in life and you will try to save money by not buying expensive tools but in the end, you will run out of time before you ever run out of money. So, if you are looking for some wonderful opportunities in life AND you have interests in working with wood and you really want to experience more than just making something out of plywood and some small boards, then I can highly recommend a saw mill. Money is nothing compared to a life well lived and experienced.
