Building Monster Sawmill Shed (It's Almost Done)

  • I build a sawmill shed out of lumber from the forest! I try to keep costs for the shed super cheap by re-using as much materials as I can, and sourcing materials from the forest around me. I use both milled woods, and many dead standing trees to make a structure that will keep my portable sawmill free of snow, ice, and rain. That way, I can use my sawmill year round without having to worry about the weather.

    "Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
    Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done!

    It's great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan's ruclips.net/user/postUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

    Also, a great source for free metal roofing is to ask a local metal roof supplier for their protective blanks. They are sacrificial panels that are not painted that are used on the top and bottom of a stack of roofing panels to protect them while being transported.

    I live near Columbia South Carolina. Right out side of town is a huge store "Mr. Bunky's" and it was constructed with all green wood cut by a local sawmill owner near my house. The owner of the store has many acres of southern yellow pine. The building is in the neighborhood of ten thousand square feet made with huge timbers. None of the structure lumber was milled but rough sawn and used as is. It has two stories. The store is a country store that sells whatever you can imagine. Meat market, groceries, animal feed and even a restaurant. It is a wonder to look at the construction using 2x12 floor joist for the upstairs. It has a concrete floor on the bottom. Over time you can see some of the timbers sag a little or twist but the building is as sound as it gets. The building has a tin roof and is at least 50 years old. It is a very busy place and everyone in town knows where "Mr. Bunky's" is. So yes, green lumber is fine to use as long as you get it up asap. Now the building inspector might see it another way if you have to use a permit.

    The beams with live edge are beautiful and will get better with age, the extra roof under the lean to is unnecessary but I guess you can use it for storage? These structures are always unique and fun to see because every saw-miller builds it out of necessity and with off cuts lol
