I used plywood for the walls in my shop. I primed it with bin primer and top coated it with gloss white. Everyone was telling me that it’s going to look like a hospital. 15 years later everyone is now saying that was a great idea. The shop is easier to light and when it comes to cleaning the walls from the wood dust the gloss paint makes it a very easy job. Once you fill the shop with your tools and hang things on the walls the white is all broken up and you don’t notice the big white box you are in.
I like your idea of plywood on the walls with metal at the top. I also agree with the comment about insulating the walls. Might help keep the shop cooler in the summer. Foam board seems like a neat, easy to install solution.
What you have done with both of the buildings is amazing!! I think it's great to have a spot close to the saw to stack the lumber!! Also having all the other equipment in the same shop is a big improvement!! Take care be safe and I enjoyed this video!! 😮😊
I don't know, Nathan, I think you should think long and hard about not putting insulation of some type in that building. Not so much the winters there but when it's 90 degrees out and that red metal absorbs the sun and is about 150 degrees you're going to find out what Tom Turkey feels like on Thanksgiving. I think I would at least put 1" foam board or SOMETHING to help provide a buffer to the heat/cold. The time is now before you come to regret it. Otherwise the shop is looking great. I really suspected you'd pour concrete all around when you did it. Only other thing you should have hade them do is aprons in front of your doors to protect your floor when running equipment in and out. It's going to be good when you need to work on something and you can do it out of the weather.
I just finished the inside of my barn and I had an insulation company spray 3” of closed cell foam on the walls and ceiling because I had a mini split HVAC unit installed. The contractor put cedar plank to 8’ then corrugated steel the other 10’. He also used cedar to box in the doors and electrical panel. I’m very pleased with the results.
Amazing how many improvements you have made in the past five years, new buildings, new equipment, and more land. Will be interesting to watch what the next five years will bring. Good management Nathan.
I inherited a pole building with my property with 8 ft sidewalls. I built stud walls between the poles and covered the walls with 1/2 inch plywood. That way I could hang stuff on the plywood and use the studs for really heavy things. Bill
Make sure you get a couple fire extinguishers in the building. One by each door at minimum. With all the oils, fuels and wood, you want to make sure you have them quickly available to keep a small fire from getting big.
Nathan, I thought you were going to pull a Columbo, "Oh and there's just one more thing sir, and I hate to bring this up, but you see sir it's just this..." All you need is a rumpled raincoat and cigar. Great video thumbs up.
Looks great. Man that’s a dream shop for sure. When you get some extra time. A little apron on entrance sure be nice to hose off equipment when you’re bringing it into service. Coming from a man that lays on gravel doing my maintenance. Grateful for anything.🤠🇺🇸
Nows the time to insulate! It’ll keep the heat down and if you ever do decide to heat/cool it you will be ready. I agree with the plywood painted white will keep it brighter.
Nathan : Happy to see the progress on your buildings providing much needed protection for your vehicles keeping the weather off the equipment. your neighbor is a virtuoso with your excavator, doing a very nice job on a wide range of very nice projects, kudos to him for being a good friend indeed!
Nathan, you might consider some panels of pegboard, especially behind areas where you plan a work bench. You can hang stuff and never use it again! Might consider a small token to Richard....How about a Rooster! Love the progress on the shop. Thank you for sharing
Be careful with those pry bars. The one on the ground near the excavator. I heard that once they take root and go to seed they are worse than bamboo. The wood is very hard,just cutting it is like hitting a railroad spike. 😜 Thanks again for the video, you are one of the best in the video world. You would be a great neighbor.
When I first saw it lying there I was afraid it would get buried. Then, Finally, (after too long) I realized it was being used as a marker. DUH!!!!!! 🤪🤪🤪 😁✌🖖
I put OSB board in my shop years ago and painted it white. It’s worked well hanging cabinets or tools. Of course plywood works even better. So it depends on what you want to hang on the walls. When I did my shop the OSB board was a third of the cost of plywood. And the metal on top would look great and you’ll never be sorry you put the plywood or OSB up for walls. The natural wood looks nice but painted white makes a huge difference with lighting. It looks great Nathan and for your farm that building is your best tool. Kind Thanks and Many Blessings! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania Great Music as Usual! 👍👍👍👍👍
Nathan, be sure to use a barrier like wood underneath the feet of anything metal having contact with your concrete floor in the new shop! The metal legs will rust from the chemical reaction with normal sweating with the concrete. I'd use roofing felt, then wood, then the machine legs. As even pressure-treated lumber will react over time when placed directly on concrete. Any of your machines that are supported on wheel casters will do just fine without anything extra. In fact, why not put rollers on all your equipment and cabinets, so they can easily be moved if you change your mind about location?
I'd insulate the whole wall, re-apply metal over the whole thing top to bottom, and run horizontal two-by so when you are finished it looks almost exactly as it does now. But that's just my 2 cents.
Things I would do, rigid foam against the metal in between the girts. then insulation in-between the studs you're gonna frame out with. I agree with the plywood and metal. I would also look at french cleats for the walls depending on how much you want to store. Make reorganizing easy
Nathan,another excellent video and it’s a shame that you can’t have someone helping you out with making lumber for your storage building that’s a lot of work for one person 😮😊❤
A couple giant ceiling fans in the new building will be great for both summer and winter. Hard to film if you’re running a small ducted shop fan, and they really don’t circulate the heat off the ceiling in the winter. No ceiling fan = take hours to heat it up with a wood stove. And of course, a couple of those wood stove top sterling engines like Wranglerstar has provides fizz and surely the Clock Master will love them as well!
I am never going to run a saw mill and before stumbling on a video years ago , had zero interest in the topic. The education I have received thus far has made me a fan. Huge thanks to you.
Always inspiring. I really appreciate the music on your videos. I’ve probably told you before, but it’s a big part of what I enjoy about your content. Take care Nathan.
In a workshop, anytime you can whitten-up a surface, walls or ceiling, it will greatly improve lighting efficiency and will make the light source more diffused. Pegboard in strategic areas is also a good idea.
Add a mezzanine on the end wall where your tool room is. Can hang lights over tools and work bench, under it. Gives extra dry storage. My last shop was like that it increased the floor space putting stuff away, rolling ladder is big help
I used white pegboard on all the walls of my 30x50 shop. Gives me plenty of adjustability when it comes to moving my tools around when I want to change things up a bit. I love it. Congrats on the new shop!!
Rockwool or a couple layers of foil backed foam board and then plywood. Either way would help keep it warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. I think the word you were looking for instead of smooshed is compacted.
Nathan, I’ve been watching you work and put together a lot of your shops/buildings walls and so forth for some time, it awesome seeing the progress and what you have accomplished so far. Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your work with all of us. God Bless you and your family.
Nathan, I don’t know how cold your winters get but I know the summers get hot insulation would be a nice thing on your wall and if you’re putting wood up there, I would use three-quarter inch plywood so that whatever you’re hanging is hanging on a strong surface….🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼🔨🪚
Love watching you grow Nathan. You will regret passing on insulation though. It gets mighty both in summer, even in the Tri-City area of East Tennessee.
I would put metal on the bottom to help with moisture and fire problems u may want to wash your floor and most things u will hang high good luck with what ever u decide on!
`Nathian,hi from england seeing as you use a blower to keep the woodmizer clean, you can get a hover like the blower to suck up most of your sawdust.Been watching your show now for at least a year ,its brilliant,hi to your wife and your son.
looks like you will need a nailer at the bottom. How bout just milling some rough sawn boards to cover the wall. should be cheaper if you can access some common wood around there. we use cotton wood here. Doc.
Great job Nathan, shop is looking good and the milling station is set up really good. Got it all working for you, stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
I love the local difference in aggregate. You call it slate but it doesn’t look like any slate I’ve seen usually it’s much darker, in the north woods the slate roads are strong but they cut tires apart easily and often we don’t venture without two new spares! I really enjoy seeing the buildings and your moves forward congratulations and be well.
For color try off-white or eggshell, a not pure white and sort of matte to cut glare. I agree with others about insulating the walls and ceiling. That box will be an oven in the summer. At least 2 ceiling fans that can be reversed for use in the winter to keep the air circulated and even out the temp gradient. I worked in a shop in Michigan, in winter the floor would be around 45 or 50 but 8 to 10 feet up would be in the 80s until several ceiling fans were installed which did away with the temp gradient. In the winter the fans need to turn to draw air from below so no felt breeze like in the summer.
Think about putting a 2X band around the wall up to 2 to 2/12 feet ( off the floor) for damage control of the wall then the ply wood . Also there is a roll insulation that is about 1/2" thick and R15 I beleive. Easy to install.
If having plywood on the lower eight feet with metal near the top remaining feet works for you, with insulation in between, then go ahead. Sounds like a good plan to me. White painted plywood would help keep the inside brighter for sure.
Fantastic episode as usual. A couple of things to be mindful of in the shop. Your blade sharpener will create metal dust which will promote rusting so you may want to enclose that area. Metal walling works as you can use magnetic hangers which means no holes but timber sure looks nice n you can test out stains, finishes and different types of timber
Although I did spray foam in my building and would still do that on the ceiling, but I'd do rockwool on the walls at this point the way that Kyle at RR Buildings has been doing for both some barndo and his own shop building. Horizontal girts on the inside and then your plywood with the metal cap for the top few feet like you described.
You should look into getting a bulk fuel tank (500 gallons maybe) and use it to keep your 100 gallon tanks topped off and when it's empty or very low, have a fuel service deliver it to the 500 gallon tank. Kinda like the bulk fuel tanks many farms use.
Nathan can you put a open top tote on wheels and fix it to the saw mill to move with it to collect the saw dust then just empty it in your burn pile with your skidster just something that may work have a fantastic day cheers
I live in Somerset Kentucky, probably only a couple hours north west of y’all. I have small 25X35 shop building and I would definitely recommend putting some kind of insulation on the underside of the roof. My roof gets so hot, you can’t hold your hand on it for more than a second or two. My roof is white and still gets hot enough to blister skin. Ventilation at the peak is also recommended. Good luck!
There are paints you can put on your roof that are designed to reflect 30% or more of the sun's heat. Many commercial buildings use it to significantly reduce the cooling costs during the warmer months. It's pricey but your building will be much more comfortable. As an alternative,an elastomeric coating like coolseal may be less expensive and still reflects much of the heat besides sealing the seams as an added benefit.
How about a simple box to catch the saw dust . You have the equipment necessary to just take it to the burn file and burn the whole thing or to a compost pile to empty. Might be a good use for cut off pieces that will burnt any way.
Plywood would be great. OSB would also work and be considerably cheaper. I also am in favor of white paint on the wood surfaces. Metal above would be good. Do that also in white. The white color makes a big difference in the brightness of an indoor space.
The entire wall covered in metal would be the safest. I think you would be better off placing the metal on the bottom and wood on top. The metal bottom would be better for protecting from any water, stains, and safety from any sparks. Good luck!
I would use O.S.B and tin on the walls like you said and , also on the end I would make shure to have a full height heavy duty pallet rack that you could load up with mr. kado .
Have a look at the rolled bubble insulation. Quick easy install. Last time I used this was cheaper than foam board and you don't need to worry about covering it as fast as foam.

Should put rock wool in the walls, it won’t absorb moisture and the bugs won’t nest in it…
Would it be possible to run the dust system off a power inverter hooked up to the saw charging system. I guess I'd would depend on the watts.
Nathan just think how nice it would be if you had concrete around the saw mill. You could just sweep up that saw dust. Eazy Pezy !🇺🇸👍🤪
Awesome sunset in your outro. Thanks for that moment.👍

If you want places to hang things, you could go pegboard for a few of the wall sheets. You have so many options with that framing. Great setup!

Just a thought for the sawdust, could you place a couple tractor buckets on the ground to collect the dust and dump them when full?
Have a look at the rolled bubble insulation. Quick easy install. Last time I used this was cheaper than foam board and you don't need to worry about covering it as fast as foam.
I would insulate and plywood all the way. By the way that edger is pretty sweet.
You're right about plywood on the walls, in a shop you always want to hang stuff on the walls!
Nathan, you should install a 1950’s vintage Coke machine for those hot summer days. It would look so cool in your shop. Take care pal! 😂
