  • For thew last two week we have had some nice dry weather witch is unusual for this time of year. I took the opportunity to get some milling done for the barn. I got through about 25tons of timber and the timber frame barn timbers are starting to pile up.

You have done so well for yourself! Always a pleasure to see a new video from you, Kris!

    I read the entire Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGqOCINHE0Z0E5gxzSdNi9NWGugRY5Hm2 Plans and was able to make a shed plan. Using Ryan's Shed Plans alone, the shed itself is great. Where I wish I knew more is with respect to ground preparation and foundations. Maybe that's beyond the scope of Ryan's Shed Plans.

    I always find myself smiling from ear to ear when watching you work outside. I can’t do too much heavy labor anymore,I’ll be 68 next month and I am a great grandmother.
    I was/am a registered nurse when I worked. But when I was home I loved working outside.
    I always helped my Dad,brothers and husband with any work they had to do.
    Daddy took me everywhere with him when I was little,made a major tomboy out of me.
    Love watching you work!!! God bless you and yours!!!!

    Reminds me of our wood cutting project 3 years ago. We got a huge load of old utility poles made of yellow and red cedar that we cut into beams and planks. We now have a beautiful fence around our farm, a new pergola, 4 picnic tables and matching benches, along with years worth of assorted cedar boards for home projects! The best part is the wood was free. It was old utility poles removed from a desert power line that would have been burned by the utility had we not offered to take the wood!

      He planned ahead of time to build a barn out of round wood, and then remembered that he might get hurt in the future, so that plan was scrapped, and it became a timber frame build which would allow for the accumulation of years worth of firewood which can then be stored within the barn itself. Win - Win, if you ask me ! bravo !

    I was thinking of your mobile milling machine and wished there was a fleet of 200 of those guys to mill all the fallen timber after tornados (southeast U.S. most recently in the news). People could at least benefit from the catastrophe if they could use their own trees to rebuild. Or sell the lumber. In any case, a traveling army of capable lumber millers running mobile millers and flatbeds with attached Moffett lifts would sure be the ticket.

    You almost need a deck over the tire for turning the logs. My old neighbor's mill was in a barn he built for it. Which had a small chamber under the mill for the saw dust. The mill sat on a lip which you could get down in the cavity to level and adjust the bed. The load side had a set of kind rail tracks in a cavity that you could open the door and slide out the carriage and with a tractor load the carriage. Then pushing it in to the shop it would arrive right next to the mill and it was at the correct height and you just pulled the log stops and rolled the log on to the mill. The standing and walking side was all concrete this was the side to which you would put all of the cut wood and using a old fork lift could move it about in that side of the building. The mill side was on the down slop of the area which is how it was dug down yet still came out levelish. I kind wish he had a small exavator or make some sort of thing to grapple the logs with from the pile would have made for a faster day. Yet in the summer it was cooler than outside and in the winter it was warmer inside by just burning all of the scraps and sawdust.

    Hey mate, when splitting your firewood. Get an old tyre sit it on top of your splitting block and pack the inside of the tyre with the wood you want to split and go for it. The wood stays in the tyre and you don’t have to bend over to pick up bits every time you split it, saves the back.👍🏻😊
