Tools: Portable saw mill?

I have had the great luck of gaining access to about 20 Port Orford (white) cedar trees. These trees died several years ago when the root rot was going around my home town area. Anyway my problem is cutting them up into slab for use. Do any of you know of an easy to build mill that I can use my chain saw on to plank these things? The biggest one is about 24 inches at the base, I will cut them to 20' lengths before sawing, shorter if needbe.

Thanks for the help

Emmett
