Building a Sawmill Shed | Posts & Beams Go Up
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 окт 2024
- We take the opportunity to build one more project in the early winter season, a sawmill shed. Built with freshly milled lumber from the sawmill of course. With the posts fastened and aligned, we place and connect the beams with ties. Next up is rafters and roofing.

I have said it before and I will say it again. Alaska travel and tourism need to hire you! I actually visited Alaska this summer to see it for myself. Such a place of beauty. Your video introduction is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Yes. Another epic introduction! Are guys doing video production on the side? This is top-shelf quality. And you share it with us. Thank You.
I agree with you they should hire them both. I lived in Homer for almost 10 yrs and live in MS now but enjoy their videos for both the content and the scenery.
Just amazing. You guys are always after difficult and ambitious projects. Following you, I become flabbergasted since I’m a senior, I never would’ve thought. I’d be delighted to watch a young couple. Realizing Their dreams in Alaska in Alaska.
The first part of this video is most enjoyable, you’re truly professional artist. Thank you for sharing.
One time, while watching one of their videos my daughter came up next to me and said: "Is this National Geographic or Blue Planet?" I laughed and said: "No, but it easily could be". They both have such an eye for how to capture those lovely moments, don't they?
Agreed!
Whether it be building, gardening, cooking or dogs and chickens, I am forever addicted to your channel. Good to see your momentum hasn't changed. Thank you for another glimpse of your life in Alaska! Kiss the boys for me!❤❤❤️
??
Their dogs ( fur babies are family )

Well said and don't forget their fishing, hunting and foraging trips. And my favorite photography of beautiful Alaska and the wild animals there.
@@mayokimmer…and the best of all, is the beautiful videography they do traveling throughout that beautiful country side. Animals, stow, ice trees, birds, plants of all kinds, recipes, ect. They are artists 🎥
Your opening scene tonight was absolutely breath taking. It literally brought tears to my eyes. You’re one of my favorite channels. Thanks so much for sharing your life. Love you guys
I could have quite easily watched another hour of you two. The time went too fast. ♥️♥️♥️
Nothing more rewarding than sawing your own logs for your projects. And keep those used blades handy and be sure to give them a good wipe with some WD-40 lots of life left in those. Put the sharpener and setter on the Christmas wish list. You guy rock, and let’s hear a big Whoot Whoot for the tractor. Looking forward to the next video.
Used motor oil on a rag to wipe the blades down. A couple felt wipes rubbing the blade with a drip of diesel mounted on the mill will prevent (minimize) the sap buildup on the blades. Woodmizer has a franchise in Anchorage. They may offer sharpening. Much cheaper than buying the equipment given the number of bands they are likely to use.
To save your back mount a 2000lb electric winch above the log deck with about 8' of chain on it. Wrap it twice around the log and it won't slip or put marks in a finished side. Worked a treat on the 120+ year old circular sawmill I had a chance to run. Also a leaf blower is your best friend after milling for cleanup before everything freezes. 👍
I love how industrious you both are. And the quality of your videos are superior. I always look forward to them.
What a beautiful opening! We were all mesmerized by the beauty of your Alaska! And how about that giant beam!! Loved seeing you enjoying the journey ❤️
You two are amazing! I was so happy when you made that beautiful chicken coop / run. Now your lean to / sawmill. Can wait to see how you set up your garden and greenhouse. I hope that happens before your next planting season. Great job you guys. I’m a70 year old grandma who really enjoys your channel!
Arielle, what a beautiful intro!! The music and the splendor brought tears to my eyes. The caribou herd was so beautiful. I'm so proud of you and Eric. Your parents must be so proud of you!❤❤❤
From watching you guys build your first chicken coop... you have come along way. Ariel, you are looking so confident with all your power tools. As a woman who has done alot of construction I'm proud of you. You " both" should feel so proud all you have done together ❤
You two are simply amazing! I have no doubt the Saw Mill shed will look nice and appealing but also strong enough to withstand your snowfall. I can’t wait to see the finished product.
You built a great sawmill shed and
I'm really liking how you are getting
a nice place built up there on your
property take care y'all and have a
great week Thanks.🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
You two were really born to be Alaskans. Not only have you survived the difficulties imposed by Alaska on non Alaskans but you thrived and prospred dear Eric and Arielle. Highly improbable tasks and projects seem play to you now. So l will say again what l told you two before that you can do anything you set your hearts on.
Salute.
It is only fitting that the sawmill should get its own shed. Amazing scenery and great work! I never miss a video. They are all so well done.
I know I keep referring to my dad on your channel. But he’d so love this. As I do. Thank you for sharing such beautiful videos, music and inspiring content. The building stuff and the care you take with your equipment would make my dad nod and smile with approval. I can just see him doing it. Thank you so much for always bringing my amazing dad alive again. You know what I mean in a not weird way, right? ❤️
superb with great music, majestic
I get that feeling on gardening channels with my late landscaper dad. 🥰
It’s so nice that these folks bring back such pleasant memories of your Dad!
I put down a total of 2,400 sq ft of tile in three days. I'm older, but I'm hurting. I look at you two, out in Alaska, building a monster wood shed. There's no comparison....... Haha. WTG! 👍
Oh my! What an awe inspiring intro. That took me back to my childhood and living in the beautiful State of Alaska! I love this new project. I didn’t think that you’d leave it bare this Winter. It looks great! Im glad to hear the Rooster crow in the morning there. That means they’re all happy and warm in their Coop Quarters! I miss watching y’all cook. I can’t wait to see the next video. Thank you for bringing some joy into this old Nana’s life! Sending love and blessings ❤️🙏🏼
You both are still going strong! I can't imagine you two doing all this building without that tractor, it's a beast! The crystalized fog was morning magic, it's so beautiful.
When Eric said they are going to build their own brackets I chuckled and thought “of course you are!” Always going above and beyond!
Please make a long video of just winter scenery. I would put it on repeat all winter long!
Another absolutely gorgeous opening on your video and the music was perfectly paired. Great teamwork and you’re becoming quite the professional builders
Your intro was so beautiful! The 2 of you are beyond amazing I can’t find words to describe how impressive your work is and the time you put into your design is great. I do believe that there is NOTHING that y’all can’t accomplish. Y’all are such decadent workers, I am so happy that you are doing all of this for yourself. God Bless y’all! Love 💕 y’all!
Working in those degrees has got to be stressful. You both are making such progress. A covering for that massive machine is mind boggling. Thanks for the video.
I so enjoy watching all y’all do at your homestead. Very impressive. A little jealous of your sawmill. Frozen fog is magical.
I can’t wait to see the design for your new smoker! I can see you two are getting better and better with each new build! Your sawmill shed is looking awesome! Great job!
Absolutely stunning scenery. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place.
Your footage is amazing 🤩 Thank you for sharing the magnificence and beauty. 🙏 As always love following along with your projects ❤
It looks as if my favorite couple are at hard work again, just before winter comes in hard. They need to get jobs done and I see they are on there way at building a cover for the Sawmill and cutting there own wood for it. I know they will do a great job.😀❤❤🌹🌹🌹🌻🌻🌻🙏I pray all turns out well.
Another spectacular opening!!!! 👏🏽 Arielle and Eric openings like this help us understand the beauty and majesty of Alaska and why you want to live your life in that magical part of The United States 🇺🇸 ❤👍🏽🥰✨
This intro is absolutely amazing! The pairing of the images with the music is awe-inspiring. I don’t know whether to call you two the dynamic duo or the dream team! Both fit like a glove. ❤
School IS a lifelong journey, but your engineering on this sawmill lean-to project so far has been *good enough for government work* as the saying goes. Building a residence that needs to pass inspection might be open to interpretation. You both ROCK!
I loved the beautiful nature intro so, so much, but how amazing is this lean-to sawmill shed going to be? Can’t wait for phase 2!
Being born and raised on chena hot springs road, Alaska and as an adult other places in Alaska I often wonder how many ppl take the time to stop and witness her majesty? It brought tears to my eyes as her beauty often does. You do a great job of capturing your journey here! Thank you so much for sharing 💚
I think we need more than a like. The hard work and can do attitude from both of you is great to see and deserves more than a like for the video 😊
I have so much respect for you both. Your ambition and dedication to your work and goals is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing your stories with us. This is a very cool build and I’m so so happy for your chickens. They have the best life now.
Love the Caribou, Moose and drone shots at the beginning of the video and the hoar frost shots. You have a great eye for capturing the beauty of wild Alaska.
Awesome intro! It’s amazing what y’all get done. The frozen fog was so beautiful. Take care and God bless y’all. 😀❤️
"It's WARMED UP to 20 degrees. Perfect temperature for working outside!" ... UMM h3ll to the no! 😂😂😂😂😂 And I lived in Ohio, Colorado AND Vermont! H3LL TO THE NO! 😊
You guys keep going to new heights with your projects, and I felt at times that I needed a cardiologist beside me on this build !Congratulations.
Thanks for bringing us along -for changing seasons! Love when you tell us a little about the weather in the intro! Another great video!!!
Thank you for sharing the stunning beauty of Alaska. Both of you work so well together and I can only imagine how hard it is. But together it seems you know what your other half is going to do so it seems effortless. Thanks for bringing us along. Blessings.
I don't think there's anything you two can't do when you put your minds to it. Great job and it looks perfect. Love watching you two.
I had to rebuild/repair my patio cover after 20 years because end grain is so affected by termites and rot from water. If you sealed your end cuts it should prolong the life of the structure. That said, I really enjoyed this video. You guys are awesome
Your opening nature shots were tearfully beautiful. You two as a team just get better and better. Thank you for a wonderful vlog.
Your intros are always so relaxing and awe inspiring. Thanks Eric and Arielle!
Absolutely LOVED the opening! Wish we had that kind of weather down here in Oregon! All that sawdust you're making, it's great insulation. When my dad built the house he put in a "fruit room" out in the woodshed. He insulated it with sawdust. Nothing ever froze inside, and on a hot summer day, always cool and comfortable. It's going to look great. Happy Thanksgiving! How do we send you Christmas cards since you've moved? ❤ To all, Lori
Wow the wildlife is so beautiful. Great job you guys. I just love watching your videos.
Saw dust makes great compost .... FYI.
That mill deserves a shed ... Kudos .
Hurray!!! A new video and it’s a day early!!! What a fantastic surprise!!! Eric, your skills continue to amaze us!!! Ariel, I love seeing you cutting the big logs and using the saw!!! You rock gf!!! Thank you for always sharing the beautiful scenery as well. As always, can’t wait for the next video!!! Love you guys so much!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Beautiful drone footage at the beginning yall! Can’t wait to see the finished shed. 👍
I can never decide which I love most, what you show us of the wildlife and your beautiful state, or the hugely interesting videos of the work you both undertake to make an amazing home and homestead for yourselves and your animals. I have so much respect for what you do and how you put it into these video logs for us to see. Thank you again.
agree
I feel this is a very good video that I have ever seen before, the nature is majestic and there are wild animals, in my country it is very difficult to find such animals.
It's a great day when I get to meet my idol here, how are you?
Hello Duong, what are you doing these days?
Things change the farm quickly, you are showing great skills
I feel like he is no longer the same as the old days that I used to watch. He no longer has the skills of the past
I think you guys are underestimating him, he has superior skills
That opening sequence! 😍 Seriously, I feel if you two ever need a screen free break, just create a few 20 minute videos like that, schedule them to show while you're on your holiday, and I'd be happy. 😅 I can't speak for everyone, but pretty sure I'm not the only follower who gets a lot of joy and peace from your nature footage.
I would miss your builds though. I can't believe how much you got done so far! Talk about not letting the short summers and longer winters stop you from getting things done. I can't believe the size of that central beam! Or how it's just the two of you doing it all. Total superstars! ❤
Th beautiful scenic footage you get with the drone and the wildlife footage coupled with the beautiful music is
simply amazing!!!! It sets you apart from the rest!!!
Really cool to be able to go out and build a structure on your own ground! No permit , no inspection just “GIT’R DONE “! Lots of satisfaction flows from a project like that .
You all are the BOMB 💣!😉
loving the blooper outtakes at the end! and also that you guys don't make a big deal out of it, but are always wearing proper safety equipment! Loving the journey!
The music and the intro to this video (particularly the drone footage) was absolutely stunning ... thank you for capturing the beauty of Alaska for us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys are doing amazing. I've seen more progress this year than in any other year and I've been following you since Oregon. Really proud of you two. I love how you two are always respectful to each other. I've never heard a cross word between you.
I certainly understand why you typically do one video a week! Your photography is amazing and very well done.
Just WOW! Love watching you two! What an exciting project…the sawmill will love its new shelter. Waiting for the finale. 👍🥰❤️
Wow! You two are awesome. Love your projects . The scenery in your videos is beautiful. You two have many talents. Thanks for sharing your life with us
I should be asleep because another 13hr shift looms near…. But Eric and Ariel are building shit!!!! 40min of sleep well worth losing 😊. Love everything you all are doing up there and have been living vicariously through your videos for many years now. Thanks so much for taking us along for the ride! ❤
Awesome job y'all r in the best school necessary. Really appreciate y'all sharing such a wonderful story 🙏 thank y'all
Then I watched the end . What a great adventure u both have in-store awesome job keeping it special then spending with the ones I love also . Nothing but blessings thank y'all for sharing 🙏
The dynamic duo strikes again. You guys are amazing, and you always make my night. Can’t wait to see it finished. Stay safe and warm.
Amazing build, spectacular scenery, plus fun to watch you two create so well! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦
I especially loved the first couple minutes of this video. It was like mother nature getting herself ready for a long winter's nap. I really do look forward to your video's and I love how you two work together. My wife and I are both 73 years of age and, of course, we can't do a lot of the things we used to. Even though my body won't allow me to cut down trees, chop wood and all of the other things that I used to do, I get to watch you two work at building your new homestead and it's just therapeutic to see. Can't wait till spring to see you make your new garden and get the shop enclosed. Wishing you both a wonderful Thanksgiving next week.
Beautiful wildlife footage and the frosting everywhere❤ Those beams are pretty massive💪and your hard work always shine through!
Nicely done. And in single digits temps is proof of just how tough you both are. I don't even like checking the mail when it gets that cold. Tip for Eric: A welding table. I picked up a cheap one, and easier strikes, ideal grounding, clamping of the metal, resulting in better beads, and overall just a better end product.
💚 That sawmill is SO cool, and those new blades-Wow! Seeing you mill your own lumber is just amazing to me. What a sturdy structure and that huge beam-just wow! The intro scenery is spectacular footage of that beautiful landscape, thank you. 💚
I love watching you work together. You have matured and developed your teamwork and you can accomplish so much. Especially with the great choice of equipment - and the Branson especially! Your capacity for projects seems limitless and your skills have grown exponentially. The sawmill set up is the best I have seen on RUclips - the concrete base with footers and the home-milled timber superstructure is fantastic. Well done. And - you work methodically and tidily and with the minimum of mistakes! Well done.
Driving a concrete truck,they have control cables that work fine when they're new but get a little age on them they start freezing up in places on the inside. You could use hot water to thaw them out by pouring on the outside cable sheath. You might want to change out yours.
I’m sitting here at 84 watching you two living your best life. Stay the course and continue to be safe. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us all.
Looks great you guy's! I can't wait to see it finished! Sawmill will be happy being out of the snow.
You two amaze me. I don’t think there’s anything you can’t do!!! I enjoy your videos so much and look forward to each one. Thanks for sharing with us.
The caribou are such magnificent animals, beautiful. The sawmill shed is looking great. I think your new place is really coming together.
Eric those strong ties that you used for your post are definitely really nice to use!!! I used to have a roofing and deck business and put up quite a few decks and would use the same exact ones that you used!!! Most my customers liked using the 1/2” threw bolts instead of just using the screw holes!!! Of course some wanted both and some didn’t care but I’d say at least half wanted the three bolts!!! They help keep the water off of the posts and will help them last a little longer!!! Glad to see you using them!!!
The visual and auditory experience at the beginning of this video was breathtaking! I am so constantly impressed not only by your editing skills, but also how well you two work together. A true partnership, and a pleasure to watch. The start of the sawmill shed looks amazing - can’t wait to see it progress. As always, thanks for sharing your journey with us!
Erik: A vertical member is called a "post or column." Horizontal members are called beams (or a joists or a purlin) Just thought you might want to know. I do like that you're building a "post and beam" shed over the sawmill. great job so far!
After hearing about the 2 major storms that hit Alaska, I was concerned about you. So glad to see that you are okay. Not sure how close you are to Anchorage. Have a great week!
Those storms hit from the Kenai Peninsula up past Anchorage, Fairbanks and across the Brooks Range to the North Slope, but they passed well to the west of them! They hit their old place, though! Another big storm apparently coming our way on Wednesday....
I think they have a mountain range dividing them from that area of Alaska so its drier.
Your countent is getting more artistic with every post. I really look forward to seeing your openings and endings! Thank you!
What a lovely young couple, you both work so hard, complimenting each other. I so enjoy watching your videos, have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!
Just noticed it now after several years of following the two of you. The videos are very crisp and very clear. With all the nature shots you guys take, thank you for filming and sharing in Full HD. 4K is next. More power. Following your from the Philippines.
You guys are so awesome. Thanks so much for sharing your lives with the rest of us.
Can I just say I ALWAYS LOVE LOVE LOVE your openings. I often pause and restart. You could make a living with your Alaska footage. It's SOOOO GREAT! Also, I just love you both. You both work hard and do SO MUCH!! Thanks for sharing it with us. Keep spreading that Aloha 🌺
Love your intros. What a strange thing to walk outside in the morning and have everything coated in white fur!
So excited for both of you and all of your project and so massive.
Great, another new huge project. Perfect, I knew you wouldn’t leave us too long. The size of the logs you are milling is amazing. Great stuff. More new ideas from both of you. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I could watch the beginning of your videos over and over…you really show Alaska in all of its beauty…and we all thank you profusely…
Looking amazing as usual. I think you should throw a couple lag bolts in those bottom brackets as well. 😁
New tools for new projects. Love it, because you know you're going to get a lot of use out of them over the coming years.
Really liked the idea of you making the brackets yourself. More welding/fabricating practice for future projects.
Great team work.
Your opening sequence just keeps getting better and better. Of course you have such magnificent scenery to work with, but so well done.
Once again - perfectly matched sound to accompany terrific video - fade into natural water flow - fade into engine with quiet underlay of original music that brings it all together. Pretty work!
Thank you very much :)
My wife and I love you guys . Always busy with something and very informative.
Once again Graceful Beauty without words ! God is Living in You Both. He is Shown in Your Videography Pictures Your Hard Work. All You Do. One The Nicest Families In Alaska. Thank You for Your Inspiration and Hope. 😇😇😇😇
Your opening shots of Alaska in early wnter is gorgeous. You both are working right along with this project. I follow a couple in Canada building a barn. He made all his own metal T and L braces also. Save your money where you can. Great job!😊
.
I never realized until this video that you two are very close to the same height. It looks very helpful when you are building things together. I wouldn't want to do it but I believe you could build your own house from the ground up.
The drone shots are amazing. Be safe guys. Happy thanksgiving
I'm a life long alaskan Grew up on a homestead I am impressed how much work the two of you get done in a day. Remind me when I was young you are doing a great job.
Your content is always great but whatever drone you use for the beginning's and overhead stuff is amazing.
Fantastic. Just a thought. Since you can mill your own lumber, so other than additional time, why not make the roof slope steeper to aid snow sliding off. However you build it sure it will be perfect. As always you two do more in one day than most do in a month. Be safe. Till next time..
