    Sawmill video - • SAWMILL - The Machine ...
    This is Ep. 8 of the off grid build. This structure will serve many purposes which will probably change throughout time. For now it will serve as a both a place to stay and play. In this video I make two steel truss style headers to create the clear span for each side of the building. This will allow the loading of logs onto the sawmill. I also stand the posts that will support the roof after trimming them to size to fit into Post Protectors which ensure the preservative stays in the post and is a 100% barrier between the posts and the ground. More on them later. Standing the posts were tricky at first but then I got the hang of it and things went a lot faster than I thought. Up next is getting the trusses up and the start of framing the roof. With this building taking a while to build I keep coming up with more ideas, which equates to it getting bigger and bigger. I'll talk about my plans in more detail in the next video.

    Nice work. I wish I had known about those post protectors when I build my recording studio/editing suite next to my house. 24x16 with a 24x8 add on room down one side. Took a year to build by myself with help only on the roof. But at 75, what once was child's play requires a little more caution now when working at roof heights on metal. Just takes longer than it looks like most of the time. Standing those posts was like raising mini obelisks lol! Good job of just getting it done my friend!

      @@mharper6877 Never let the entirety of a project discourage you. You only have to worry about what the next step in the chain is and keep putting one foot in front of the other. That's how they built the pyramids. One of them (at Giza) took 20 years. But then, they had to stack 2.3 million stones weighing about 2.5 tons each, though some were between 25 and 80 tons. So he had to call in some help lol! One day at at time, sweet Jesus! And of course these days we have youtube "university" to help us with what we aren't sure of.

    • @homemadehome5575
      @homemadehome5575  2 года назад +1

      These posts are treated for industrial/agricultural use, a very high treatment. Over time the treatment leaches into the soil and given enough time even the most heavily treated post succumbs to rot. I never worried about it till recently until looking into this project and after seeing very nice barns rotted off at the ground, I checked some posts that I had access to that had been in the ground about 10 years and half were rotted. I was floored. There's many variables that can lead to it happening, but the long in the short of it is break ground contact and you won't have a problem. The post protectors do that, regardless of type and level of treatment.

    Nice sawhorses. They look ten-fold better than the construction guys make. I have wanted to make some of those. Maybe you should have rented a Telehandler to get those 20 ft poles in the ground?

      I think they are perfect. I see no fault in them and they make using parts a no brainier.

    Awesome.
    another channel I watch, 23rd Garage, does a lot of welding, and they often talk about not welding in one area too much because the heat will cause warping. They instead jump to another area to give the heat time to dissipate a little. Not sure how that works in practice (I'm not a welder), but maybe someone with specific experience can chime in with a confirmation or dismissal.

      Yes, what you see is mine. If you mean is it financed, no. I saved and bought it. Doing the work i do there is a tax component to the purchases but it’s still a lot of money to come up with even if it’s “advantageous” tax wise.

    When you put that "sleeve" into the ground and it has no holes at the bottom, won't it collect rain water over time? Time will tell, I guess.

      I was about to comment about the same thing - if water can get in, it will have no where to go. Yet these are pressure treated - they "should" be able to put up with staying wet all the time, just in case water gets in there and stays there. I might be tempted to seal the upper edge with some sort of silicone seal, or something?

    I don't think I've ever seen welds with bolts. One type of moment connection is sufficient.
    I agree that your second truss is better. Looks like you've learned a lot between the two. But then, I prefer trusses where the web intersects at a common point on the flange. Much easier to analyze.
    While I don't think you need to break any cylinders, I would recommend at least doing a slump test on your concrete. It's a fairly simple test that will tell you if you stand a chance of a good strength - especially if you're using water to make it workable instead of plasticizers.
