Avoid These Mistakes When Building a Sawmill Shed

I'm really excited to see this!!

I can't wait to see this develop! Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Thanks for your kind words, yes I will get through this, one way or another. Regards, Edgar

Excellent work - great videos........

I've been in the building industry since 66 so I would use concrete pads for your base,, once set up you would never have to adjust it again ,, weather you just put your mill bed on concrete pads or your whole platform is entirely up to you ,,, set your concrete pads up with a laser level and they could be perfectly level,,

Wow great video, I have the 126 woodland mills and just bought my first tractor and can’t wait to start milling, thanks for saving me the headache of version 1.0 shed.

I enjoy your channel sounds like you’ve got an awesome idea good luck with the project and I’ll be looking forward to watching your progress.

I like what you are doing!

Poor trees....they wanna a good life too! 😄 I likes the videos! Gives a good idea what it's like up thar in Canada!👍

Just came across this episode. Love it - sawmill shack 2.0

I like your outriggers. My loading dock is close to my portable mill, but that keeps me from using the tractor to move the mill under cover. I think I will move it back and add outriggers to solve that problem. Thanks for the good idea,

Great discussion. I have my mill on two “beams / skids”. Also I have my log deck on skids so I can move it as needed. Just need to figure out where I want to build my sawmill shed. Looking forward to seeing your build

Sounds like a great plan Sandy. J

my thought was to use or recycle hillbilly 1.0 into a wood drying shed. But then at the end where you were talking about winter sawing I thought you might want to consider using 1.0 for a covered bunk at least for winter. Summer is great for washing them off as you mentioned but winter time with three feet of ice an snow on the logs wouldn't be fun. Anyway I'm looking forward to the new shack build

Good day Sandy I probably keep your idea for moving your lag from the bonk to the sawmill it’s simple and reliable. Have a good day

I wondered if peeling poles was only in south alabama here,thanks for show ,I'm peeling my poles now, thinking I'll cut few of my cedar for the post

I'm planning a sawmill shed and starting to saw wood for it this weekend. I have my mill on 6x6 pressure treated post 8' in length. It will be a pain but I plan to put my support post on concrete footing and anchor post to them. Rather than build a deck for holding mill I plan to build a raised gravel pad for the shed . Thanks for the great info.

Just got the mill set up today. Gotta get a cover shed slammed up tomorrow, haha!

Hey Sandy. Frank here. I keep wanting to ask, where abouts in central Ontario? I'm assuming north of North Bay and Sudbury. I've snowmobiled near Cochrane, did a project up near Wawa, and fished north of Dryden. I've lived in Ontario my whole life but that's as far north as I've been - and as too few 'southern Ontarians' know, there is nothing like it ... Anyways, its been a while since I've commented but I've been watching your clips quietly on the sidelines. As always they are informative, honest and straight forward. I think the last time you heard from me was way back in March - before summer, before the Covid madness, and of course, before my Woodland Mills 130Max - half the reason i've been too busy to comment. In fact we were having a discussion at the time on the pros and cons of the sawmill and which size to purchase. I said it then and i will say it again - WoodlandMills should be sponsoring you. The info i gathered from watching your videos greatly inspired me to purchase their brand of sawmill. Which brings me to the point of my comment - are you planning to take the feet off the angles and securing them directly to the base beams? I am seriously considering getting some long [25ft] 2x2 angles rigged and wielded up to use instead of the stock pieces that came with it, and then securing them to 2 pieces of solid 8x8 wood beams running on each side. Adjusting those feet are driving me nuts .... the 2nd reason you havent heard from me is because i too have been building a sawmill shed, and there is tons we can talk on that - another time.

Awesome man!! Look’n fwd to seeing version 2.0. All about makin sawlife a little easier. Like you say. Ain’t get’n any younger. Haha
