      Would the world be roof above the sawmill support the weight of some sort of winch to lift logs into the mill? It would help solve the problem of logs too heavy for the tractor to lift with the forks.

      Need a first aid kit
      Two .. one inside the man cave, the other at directly near the sawmill.
      Helmets with face shield.
      Aprons for wood cutting.
      Same gear as all lumberjacks..
      And stout beer.
      Definitely gotta have stout beer on tap! 😂

    Very nice of your wife to join you for coffee and cookies, nice to see the power behind the throne (as Kevin is king of saw mill sheds). Gonna need at least a couple more stools in the man cave (a seat for Don & bro) and probably some folding chairs hanging on pegs for when you have a crowd! Keep up the good work!

    A lot of history in one vid. Very well done, Kev. One thing your sawmill shed doesn't have is a lot of colour. Rachael's visit really brightened things up. It was nice seeing her again. As for the chandelier, it is upside down for my tastes, bigger around at the top and smaller around at the bottom with the little hooks pointing up so you can more easily hang crystals on them or fish hooks, if you like. The sawmill's new home is a work of art.

    This is the most awesome wood milling/man cave I’ve ever seen. I mean the chandelier is so cool. All the uses you’ve gotten out of the sawmill has paid for itself ten times over. Just my opinion but I think once the door finishes drying out and you can stain it I think a cool twig from the woods or cool antler wood look really neat on the outside and inside of the door for handles. Would save from constant dirty hands pushing on the door all the time. Awesome place!! Also just thought is everything on your place back there good and safe. If not then you can put everything until needed inside the man cave and put a good latch over type of lock where you can put a dead bolt on it on your door if possible.

    Great video. I find it amazing at the things your mind comes up with. Your Man Cave is unbelievable. The only thing I’d add to the cave would be a recliner that you could nap in… not that you don’t have enough options for napping in the wood. The cabin, the A-frame, etc. I love you line about getting the chandelier because it matched the stove accent, no the fact that it was free and on the side of the road. Did you hang the chandelier upside down? The hooks make more sense in the other direction… but it still looks very POSH! Thank you so much for sharing!

    Really, the most glaring thing that you're missing it a covered area for storing the wood. Though, if you want to get really fancy you could also add a 'wood dryer'. A room where you can put your freshly cut logs with another wood stove inside to get the room really warm and speed up the drying out. So, you'd have a rack of fresh lumber, a drying room and then a rack of dried lumber. You could build all of that where you currently just have a pile of wood there or on the other side of the back wall that you made.

      @@ModernSelfReliance Are you actually considering an on-site, heated curing system? Seems like it'd be energy-prohibitive and maintenance-intensive. If I recall correctly back when you first started you had stacks of lumber at your house that had been left to cure over a couple years, but considering just how much wood you're going through now that doesn't seem very feasible as you'd need a VERY large storage space for it to work. Curious if you're considering a build to address curing wood properly. Builds completed so far without proper curing seem to be doing really well without it.

    I love your videos and how the Sawsmahaul has turned out! I've commented before when you started building this thing saying that I would love a sawmill shed for our Woodmizer LT50 but I never imagined yours would turn out like this! It is incredible! My family business is making hardwood flooring and paneling, usually character grade but we can make anything up to clear floors with our Weinig Profimat moulding machine. Currently we are using the Woodmizer to make construction grade lumber from Aspen trees to build a new BIG building to house all our machines so that has priority over making a sawmill shed, but after seeing how well this turned out you have inspired me to build one after the big building is done. If you would like to see our work I can send you the link to our website, but I understand if you don't so I wont post it right now lol. We're based in southern Wisconsin and have mostly a hardwood forest rather than all the softwood you have. Idk how it is in Canada but in Wisconsin you need to take a class to be able to make your own construction grade material to build, my dad and I recently took that class. You are an incredibly talented woodworker though, and I cant wait to see more videos!

So I agree, it is upside down. Someone else may have hung it upside down first...maybe.
