SOMETHING Had To CHANGE - Installing A WINCH For The Sawmill // More Improvements And Milling Logs

In this video, Greg and Erik worked really hard all weekend to get quite a few things accomplished. Erik mills quite a few timbers on the sawmill, Greg clears A LOT of snow off of the lumber bunks, makes some improvements to make milling easier and they install a winch so turning these logs won't break the back anymore! It seems like the more they mill, the more things they come up with to make the process a lot easier - hopefully, some of these improvements will help other sawyers out there! Some of these ideas came from viewers and comments, so thank you! If you have ideas or know of tips that make milling a little easier, we'd love for you to share in the comments! Did you know we are building a barn out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill?! If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the slab this summer and are on a pause while we mill all of the lumber needed for the barn build. We have A LOT of milling in our future. Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from ‪@BarnGeek‬ We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns!    • Why Do We Think WE CAN BUILD A BARN?! // S...   ***We are also so excited to have completed our sawmill cover enclosure (sawmill shed). Definitely check out our Sawmill Playlist to watch it all happen. We have shared the process of building our sawmill cover from the very beginning. We have a Woodland Mills HM130 Max sawmill and we live in North Idaho. The sawmill cover / sawmill shed is vital to continue milling for our barn build in the winter months, but it will also be a great way to keep out of the sun during the summer months, and of course all of the rain, in between! Here are the specs on the sawmill cover / sawmill shed we built: 3 posts in the front 4 posts in the back Overall dimensions are 15 feet wide by 36 feet long Longest beam is 28 feet Front part of the lean to roof is 11'9" and back is 8' It will have a 3 :12 pitch Posts and beams are going to be 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" We have shared the entire build!
