Hello, I came across your channel by chance because I'm interested in timber framing. I'm a metal worker :-) What you're doing is very impressive and you can hardly find anything like it here. I'm currently watching all of your videos one after the other and I can't get enough of them. Keep it up... best wishes from Germany
That’s awesome Adrian! Thank you and Thank you for Watching. We have some big timber frame projects comming in the New Year. Best Wishes from Tennessee 👍👊
This is exactly what I've been waiting for. My step dad, brothers, and I are going to be starting a sawmill shed by my barn soon, so this is perfect timing. The way you set up the winch is genius.
@TwoGuysTimberframing My buddy Goerge and I do some milling up here in Northeast Ohio. George has a Wood-mizer LT15 Wide, and I'm using the 130MAX. We help each other out. His channel is Middlefield Customer Sawmill. Let me know where you guys are located. We would definitely collaborate with you guys on an episode or two. Peace. Nate Bissell
Great system! A suggestion-if one wished to add the option of turning (rolling)a log the "other way(cut side towards where the blade comes from) one could put another pulley mounted on your top beam,above the" front "side of the mill.( -to save blade wear,from cutting through dirty bark on the blade entry side). One would need to use one of the pulleys where the wheel is attached only on one side (forget what they are called) ,like one uses for a redirect when skidding. That way,one could just use a long board notched/slotted at the end to put the winch line onto the added pulley,or take it off,if one wished to turn a log the"other way".(and not have to"thread the line through" the other pulley high up on the beam)....might still be a bit tricky to get the line in place on the pulley,i have never tried this,though.....hope I'm communicating this in a way one can understand. Thanks so much for sharing what you do on utube!
You could rig up another pulley or just snatch your log in the other direction to roll in reverse. I cut big logs and I only roll towards my posts for security and for squaring. It’s kind dangerous as the log can come off the mill. I only turn my small logs in reverse only if I use a Cant Hook. Thanks for watching! 🤠👍
Goong to moving to my land in updtate NY soon and a mill has been on my wishlist for years. Very informative channel you have here. Thank you for all the help and good luck with all you do!
If you gonna be a Full time Timber Framer the Super Winch set up is priceless. We are about to film more just on the Saw Shed and design and function. You can easily rig it over your current setup. Still work outside and out if weather. Being open less sawdusty on your lungs. Thanks for commenting And keep Milling my Friend
I agree wholeheartedly! This is my favorite timber framing / sawmilling channel. I learn so much every episode (& I'm bad about watching the same episodes over & over, & still learn something new each time!). Please keep up putting out great content! BTW We're in the same area. Hopefully our paths will cross someday, & I'll get to meet y'all.
Hello how are you doing i would like too say absolutely great idea's thanks for your amazing video keep them coming i love timber framing take care cheers George
Love your videos! I look forward to them all week. Genius idea with the winch and the angle at which you set it up with. You can tell you’ve thought out every aspect.
Thanks for the video. Great points, but I work alone and have struggled with clamping off one end and trying to peavy the other end. I'm still going back & forth several times to get it located. I'm out in the open without a shed yet & work off the Woodlander XL trailer. Any suggestions would be helpful and much appreciated.
Thank you. I work alone a lot is why I develop this winch system years ago. If you don’t have your shed up yet , should be your first project so all other projects go smoothly. Check out the video of making your mill shed work for you. Now in the past when we were cutting out in the Boone docks I would find a big tree with a strong enough arm on it and park the mill under it and rig up the winch system the same as I have it here. And use it that way, that’s another reason I use my truck winch to be Mobil if need be. Just make sure the tree you pick and arm you pick is strong enough. I have always tried to find an oak but it depends on what you have around you and your mill. Time to build a work shed for you so you don’t have to struggle. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thx for the vid. Really great tips and ideas using what you have and your brain. Great shed, simple but really robust. Open air for best ventilation. Need to build one similar. I noticed your front left post seems to be on some sort of concrete pier. I couldn't see the rest, a little buried under sawdust. Are some of them deep into the soil or all on concrete piers? Are they fixed to the pier with some sort of bar or rod with lag bolt or simply weight pf the structure holding them there?
All my posts sit on concrete piers these have rebar posts up into the Timber. This building I did not put tie downs in yet. Been three years so I don’t seam concerned. Massive Weight of this building it’s not going anywhere. You could put bolt on tie downs of timberlynx tie downs when you install. I don’t bury my posts in soil unless I have to for some reason. They will rot at some point. Thank you for Watching and Commenting👍🤠
@@TwoGuysTimberframing Thx for the info! Watched the bunk ''making of'' this morning and your simple but robust method makes it ''easy'' and fast. In the vids it's nice to see your methods in real time . Really helpful.
@@ZeeFrankensteel That’s Awesome I am Glad you Like it. Have a New One Coming Out at 4 today. Breaking Ground for the 5700 sqft Lodge we are just getting ready to build! It’s Happing!❤️🤠👍
Hey, can you give a more detailed video about your sawmill shed itself? It looks perfect to me, and I'd like to replicate it in every way. Curious about the tree's used(especially where the winch is mounted). Are these tree's that were already on the property? Or did you bury them in the ground yourself and if so how deep? With cement? An entire overview would be great. Love the channel, learned a lot.
Ok I will try and put something together for that. All of the trees used were from my property. All White Oak except for roof rafters. Oak beam in center for winch support. Not buried in the ground sit on 24” piers of cement with a rod in center going up the post. Thanks for Watching and we will put something up for you. Or you can always touch base on Facebook if you have more specific questions I can answer for you. 🤠👍
@@TwoGuysTimberframing Thank you. What exactly do you mean "rod in center"? I've seen it done so many ways, I want to see the way you personally accomplish it. I would love more detail here. I'm worried about my winch strength. Also, dimensions would be fantastic. Looks like 20x12? Can't say for sure, but I have the exact same mill, and I love your setup. Thanks for the response!
@@oldaxehead655 I will do it We are Planing on Filming it Next Week so it will take a couple of weeks before it out there. But I will go into detail and how it works. Thanks for reaching out! 👍🤠
Forever! I can remember in 05 pulling my horse trailer loaded in two feet of Snow on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon with my Best Friend! Still using it!
Nice setup, I can't imagine 3500# logs. We've got the 122 up in NW Ontario and the 1600s are a chore. Hope your blades are always sharp! Mark at the Cay. 🌴👍🪵🇨🇦🇺🇸
@@TwoGuysTimberframing I live in the burn scar of the caldor fire in California. I have fir, pine, cedar, and a little oak. I've done them all over the last two years. Started out just using the overhead winch for turning the logs and a separate winch for rolling them up on the mill. Realized a couple of months ago, I could do both with just the overhead winch. I have a wireless remote on the winch so if the log gets a little wonky on the ramps, I can sit on my tractor and lift one end while operating the winch. I don't have any helpers so I've needed to figure out how to do it solo.
Your Awesome! We’ve been cutting this way for years like I said on my video it was the winch from my truck but with all our big Oak logs I put the strain on it as well A little bit bigger winch and you might not have to use your tractor but I’m really glad it works for you as well it works great for us! Stayed tuned we got more stuff coming your way! 🤠👍
I’m sorry buddy I miss read your message but that’s a good idea with the tractor instead of using the second winch don’t really need that much anyway. I spent over 20 years in the Arizona backwoods and I’ve actually used this method and carved it in the live trees and work myself. We had a lot of ponderosa pine and juniper I’ve been lucky enough to move to Tennessee and I’m loaded with oak big oak. Thanks for sharing I’m sure there’s more of us out there that figured out how to use it with the overhead Winch nice job!👍🤠
Great idea and setup! by far less expensive than most options. Harder to do for off-grid/remote locations unless you have an alternator/generator to power the winch, but still doable. Technically this isn't automated though, as you are still performing the functions manually, so it's more mechanized more than anything.
True it is Mechanical! Truck winches are 12 volt just use your battery! No power No Problem! Solar Charger! I have worked years in the back country. This has never failed us! Thanks for watching and commenting! See ya soon!❤🤠
Est-ce que vous avez des vidéos sur les tenons et mortaise aperçu dans la vidéo j’aimerais en apprendre d’avantage comment faire avec le moulin à scie ça semble hyper intéressant. Pour une fois qu’il y a quelques chose de nouveau différent des autres personnes qui ne font que couper du bois.
Another slam-dunk. I agree with @lillianwarren4670, your videos have tons of information, and I can't wait to learn more. I'm on the edge of developing our property and buying a mill, timber framing, etc. Keep em coming! So glad the algorithm sent you guys my way.

I'm gonna try this I have some massive yellow pine logs that are a nightmare too roll on the mill.
Try it my man. You will never pick up a cant hook again. Winch and strap is very accurate and secure

12:35 you should use a tow strap around the log instead of the winch cable.
Good tip. But I actually don’t roll my logs like that anymore. But you get a continuous roll
Thanks Buddy !
👍🏻very nice

I've got the same setup but with a much smaller winch. I have no problem rolling logs large enough to max out the mill with a 3000 lb winch.
