SawMill Shed Walk Through Tour and How It Was Built with Woodland Mills HM130

welcome back to the Sawmill guys I've been getting a lot of requests to do a video on The Sawmill shed here so today I'm gonna do a quick walk through of how my dad and I built it and kind of the design and the materials used let's check it out foreign guys this is what you see as you walk into the Sawmill first a little shelf there on the left Sawmill sits right in the middle got the spots for hanging the blades on the wall there's the seven degree blades the 10 degree blades and then this pile here is the need to be sharpened blades there's that pile is the biggest and then there's the sharpener up here we've got a storage Loft uh we haven't got much up there yet but I've got plans for it as you can see we have three Windows one on each end and one in the middle those all open for airflow for different winds or if there is no wind try to get some of the dust out uh the doors each door is nine foot long so it opens up to a total opening of 18 feet for loading longer logs this Mill will accept a 16 foot log we do have electrical in here ran from the other Barn we've got light switch there plug there and then three plugs on I guess you would call it the back wall and then three LED lights with three arms each really lights this place up if you guys like I can put a link to those lights in the description below so the total length on the mill shed is 28 foot inside and 12 foot wide it's actually worked out very good took my dad and I a while to plan exactly what we wanted for size and everything and uh as far as constructing it he was in construction for over 30 years and also a building inspector so it was really easy for him to come up with the design we have uh eight inch wide by 12 inch thick beam up there above the doorway I believe it was 22 foot long this is a pull Barn type construction with four by six uh treated poles in the ground here in Michigan we have to be below the ground 48 inches below the frost line so we don't have any heaving issues with the frost for right now it's a gravel floor I just had the local Gravel Pit across the road dropped me off some Stone um this year next year we might uh pour a cement floor in here I think that would be a lot nicer for sawdust cleanup which isn't a huge deal because we do have the bucket on the end of the mill where most of the sawdust goes into and then I can walk it out back and empty it into the sawdust pile all of the boards used in this build were milled by my dad and I except for the 4x6 treated posts that go in the ground and then the skirt board across the bottom that is in contact with the ground so we've got true Dimension two by fours uh two by six rafters two by ten up here uh two by sixes for the floor joists of the loft on the roof is just uh Barn Steel 14 foot long sheets we can take a walk outside and I'll show you the outside I hope the audio turns out okay because it's kind of windy out today um so on the outside we have uh board and Baton siding oops let me get you guys zoomed out board and Baton siding we also milled all that ourselves and then we have the cedar Shake uh shingles on the small front roof here just for just for looks they're above the Sawmill sign and I cut that Sawmill sign out on my CNC I got a couple videos on that little saw blade above the window for decoration you can see it's just a lean lean to style roof comes down in the back here show you guys maybe if I can reach high enough the roughest green just the green barn Steel come around the back here one thing I need to do still is get some gutters on the back here or a gutter I definitely need to do that the rain really splashes up uh down here on the bottom of the building so we need to get that taken care of continuing along the back here this is the the other end see how the doors open up a little past the building there you've got kind of a little roof built over the door tracks another good idea my dad had to try to keep the weather off the door tracks a little bit back over at this end I wanted to show you one little problem I run into with this board and bat and siding that we cut is once in a while I'll get a a woodpecker making holes in in the siding if you guys can see that right there it's kind of in the shadow but that's one of the holes they were trying to make and uh luckily I don't know what happened to all the woodpeckers but they're all uh I don't know they're all missing so I haven't had any trouble lately that's good one of the little piles of logs I got to get cut up for project boards but that's that's pretty much the Mill shed if you guys have any other questions I'm sure I've missed quite a bit of stuff so I can definitely answer your questions comments down below um be glad to help anyone out and just do one last walk around here we did leave the ends open up top there for a little bit of airflow when all the windows and doors are closed to try to help with uh the sweating on the metal roof which happens when the temperature is colder outside and it stays a little warmer in here so that's about it guys like I said you have any questions or comments let me know below I'll answer anything try to help you out so thanks for watching as always I appreciate your support thanks for watching we'll see you on the next video [Music] [Applause] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
