  • Today I"ll show you my full sawmill shelter build in 10 minutes from start to finish as I take you back in time from when the old hillbilly hideout sawmill shelter was still standing and this new sawmill shelter was nothing but a dream. With some planning and the help form my tractor, watch as I get the base all set for a floating beam foundation to which I place 2x6 floor joists at 16 inches on centre. As you'll see here today, the work was long and tedious at times but with no electricity way out here in the woods, I'm fastening all the wood with nothing more than a hammer and some nails. One of the reasons I left the old sawmill shed in place while I built this new shed was so that I could make lumber from surrounding trees as I needed it. All the lumber you're seeing in this video has been freshly cut from trees and makes the wood still full of moisture. Despite using this "green" lumber for building, you'll see how it can be done effectively and safely taking into account future shrinkage of the wood. In this video you'll also see some materials that I think are relatively cheap and a good choice for such a build as this. Metal roofing allows for heavy snow loads to easily slide off the roof and makes for a maintenance free covering. The tarp curtains surrounding 3 sides of the building is also a good low-cost option that I can raise and lower to keep the weather out of my sawmill shed. Also check out the lighting system I have in place that runs off of a 12v battery and keeps me sawing well in to the night. Finally, the overall design I chose in which I use a raised deck to place my sawmill keeps my feet from getting down in the mud when spring rolls around and helps to ensure that the saw deck is always flat and clean. Just a few things to watch for in today's video. Glad you're all here and happy sawing!

    "As Jackie said" How sweet it is! I can watch repeats as I didn't miss any but some I did watch over/LOL. I myself would of liked to do this and that's no joke. I mean its not summer appreciation day for a nudist but snow and winter months give a person to reflect and enjoy the life of a logger. I enjoyed all the seasons as a kid but snow has been not really that bad for the comparison. One year we had started getting snow on the last week of june so on the forth day of july I looked out and saw nothing but snow and put on the snow shoes and then made my way to one of the sheds and never even noticed that I had walked level across a truck bed. Now thats deep and just close to insane winters history. I just love the green grass in the summers and have a great story for you as a kid with horses that would tell you I have seen some snow. It is just that I am seventy three now and it lost its wild appeal

    And I will be cribbing a lot of this build for my shed. I guess I should start felling trees real soon. . .

    Awesome sawmill, I am just setting my mill up to cut the wood to build mine next year and have 2 questions...first, what was the coating you put on the lumber that touched the cinder blocks, and second, did you make a lumber list for building it!!!
    Many thanks for your efforts and videos!

  • @dennisfahlstrom7422
    @dennisfahlstrom7422 3 года назад

    You did a fine job. That shed should serve to protect you and your band mill for many years. The only question I have is why not use some metal hangers for all those floor and roof joints rather than toe nailing. Seems like it would provide a more solid way of making the floor and ceiling more securely locked down.

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  3 года назад

      Thanks for tuning in Dennis. I normally would only use joist hangers when the floor joists weight is hanging off of a beam but in my case the joists were sitting on top of a beam with rim boards nailed in to keep the floor joists vertical. Hurricane clips could be a good idea here though for the rafters though like you said to prevent up lift. Hope all is well with you. Happy sawing!

  • @WoodysRTBFirewood
    @WoodysRTBFirewood 3 года назад

    Hello Sandy, have you ever considered building a peak on the roof in line with your walkway so that when the snow slides come off it won’t damage the walkway? Just some food for thought. Then it would eliminate the need to remove your walkway in the winter.

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  3 года назад

      That’s a good idea Mark. Main reason I have to remove the walkway is to clear the snow and sawdust from the other side of the boardwalk with my tractor unfortunately

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  3 года назад +1

      I tend only to fasten down green siding and decking with one fastener so that the wood doesn't shrink and crank if I were to put two fasteners

    Hi Sandy. Big fan in Alaska. I have an HM126 with one extension on the way. Will need to put together a platform and shed roof as soon as the snow melts this spring. Do you have the basic dimensions for yours somewhere? Or did you use a drawn up plan?

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  2 года назад +2

      Hi Stede! Thanks for tuning into the channel. Basic dimensions are 10' x 20' with the opening leading into the sawmill being 14'. Hope that helps. Thanks again for watching.

    What is under the concrete blocks to keep them from sinking? Or should they all settle the same?

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  3 года назад

      The concrete blocks are just sitting on compacted sandy soil and so I don't imagine they will sink into the soil but they likely will move just a little bit with frost but in that case I'll just re-level the floor with some shims.

  • @Eyeintheforest
    @Eyeintheforest 2 года назад

    Hey Sandy, have you had much issue with condensation under the tin roofing in the cool months? I see that on some of my structure and wonder if a moisture barrier should be used. Since there is no moisture barrier between the tin and wood what long term effect might there be with moisture on the strapping? Life expectancy of the roof built like that?

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  2 года назад

      I get a little condensation but it evaporates pretty quickly since everything is open

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  2 года назад +1

      Typically since it’s not heated space there’s no cold and warm air contact so not much condensation

    • @sawingwithsandy
      @sawingwithsandy  3 года назад +1

      Hi John, thanks for watching. I think it would have been stronger to put the posts in the ground for sure. Reason I didn't is because I don't have treated lumber and was concerned about the pine posts rotting quite quickly when in contact with the ground. Pressure treated posts in the ground would be my second choice with concrete piers and posts attached to them above the gorund being my first choice.
