Saving for a mill, to build an addition on my house. This beautiful sawmill building is my immediate project once I get the addition lumber sawed and drying. Thank you for sharing!
I know you covered the building size somewhere but I was hoping for a quick recap on dimensions. Looking at a build for mine as it has taken over my Tractor shed and my TYM 654 sits out in the cold.
You have been an inspiration for me and watching your videos got me into sawing myself and rebuilding another woodworking shop once again but this time it’s only a hobby of mine;) thanks Sandy for all the great videos
Videos like this are a great treat! Thanks for throwing this quick run through together! Really enjoy each an every vid I watch Sandy! 😊. Take care! Andrew from NB :)
you did a really nice job building then and those things that I noticed you built it to last many lifetimes with just a little simple care that'll last many generations you did a great job
Hi! I have been watching your videos with great interest, as I will be a newbie sawyer soon, when my mill arrives in a couple weeks. And I will be cribbing a lot of this build for my shed. I guess I should start felling trees real soon. . . THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR INFORMATION!
"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
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!
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.
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!
I’m ordering me a Woodland mills this Morning, What do you use as a sealer on your back wood , I’ve watched numerous videos but haven’t seen you mention anything..
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.
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
Great Video! Did you use pine? I ask because I have several stands of Virginia Pine on my property and have thought about milling them and using them for a shed just like this. Once again great job!
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.
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?
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.
Hey sandy I was wandering on your 6x6 posts going up would it have been stronger to put them in the ground then put a band around them then set the floor joists? Just wandering
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.
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?
I'm pretty stoked. I've been looking at mills and watching videos for years. This year, I finally bought an hm122. I've had it for 3 months and just got the time to out it together. I started milling today and I am not disappointed!!

I love how you make your hammer dance to a fast tune! Great video.
Thanks for the video!!!
I’m exhausted watching this. I watched the every episode. I forgot how much work it was. Strong work Sandy. I’d be proud of that structure too!
Thanks Tom appreciate that. Hope all is well.
It's like a woodpecker meets an angry bee meets a busy beaver. Amazing what one person can do. Great job Sandy!
Thanks Jill
Great video
I love your rapid nail gun.... Very nice. Have a great day up there.
It sure is quick haha

Good for you, great achievement.
You have been an inspiration for me and watching your videos got me into sawing myself and rebuilding another woodworking shop once again but this time it’s only a hobby of mine;) thanks Sandy for all the great videos
That’s great to hear Louis! Glad you’re liking sawing as much as I do
That was fun!

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
What are the dimensions of the floor?
Sandy, what is the green sealant that you use to treat the exposed parts?
Great Video!
Did you use pine?
I ask because I have several stands of Virginia Pine on my property and have thought about milling them and using them for a shed just like this. Once again great job!
This is all red pine that I built with. Thanks for checking out my build. Hope yours goes well
If we only could work that fast
I’d get way too much done haha
What camera and/or camcorder do you use for your videos?
What is under the concrete blocks to keep them from sinking? Or should they all settle the same?
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.
Nice work. Any advice using green wood right off the mill?
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

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?
I get a little condensation but it evaporates pretty quickly since everything is open
Typically since it’s not heated space there’s no cold and warm air contact so not much condensation
I was beginning to think nobody knew how to operate one of those old fashioned nail whacker thingies. Everyone seems to want to use screws.
I love to take out frustration on some spikes from time to time. Thanks for watching Clifton
Ringshank galvies too. Mucho respect. Not a one lick green 16 by any means. I'm gonna remember that tree saw the nest time im cutting rafter tails
I loved version 1.0, but it doesn't have a thing on 2.0
Thanks Neal! I'm really happy with 2.0, although my mind starts wondering often and things towards 3.0 haha
I'm pretty stoked. I've been looking at mills and watching videos for years. This year, I finally bought an hm122. I've had it for 3 months and just got the time to out it together. I started milling today and I am not disappointed!!

that's about $4K in lumber today!lol
