How difficult is the sawmill to assemble?
Very easy if you follow the instructions. If you want to “go fast” and the skip the instructions, assembly takes longer. Adjusting the saw takes more time than assembly but only needs to be done once in the life of the saw. As a part of the Lumber Smith design philosophy, nuts generally have a capture so only one wrench is necessary and most parts are replaceable at the local hardware store if something is lost. With reasonablly careful adjustment the Lumber Smith will cut a 1/16 thick board with a .015 per foot thickness variation.
