Hello, stay in nature, clean air, clean head and interesting work with wood, a lot of strength and good luck, Best regards from Czech Republic :o)) Marcell ToM
I am in the process of digging holes and pouring cement piers for my sawmill shelter and this video came up tonight ironically - I came up with the same dimensions as you did - hoping it works out - I plan to add on to it next year for lumber storage. I am on heavy clay so I didn’t want to risk building without cement. I am just north of Kingston so probably don’t get the snow that you do but we can get a fair amount all the same. Really enjoy your videos Sandy.
I know what ya mean about the clay. That surely would hold the moisture. Nice area you're from. I was through there not too long ago on my way to Perth where Eastonmade wood splitters is.
just found this channel. just subscribed too, you make a very enjoyable video too watch! going to watch the whole playlist for this project. always nice to see a fellow Canadian on the tube! love the videos so far
That could be a decent idea Bob. My only issue is that I’d like to use the roofing steel off the old one for the new one. I’ll have to weigh out my options on this one
This will be good to watch for ideas. It was probably the day after I slabbed my first log I released how I should have built my tiny shed and mill platform. And sometimes I think it would sure be nice to trade some of my poplar, maple, cherry and walnut woods for some pine woods ;)
Hey Sandy pennies worth of thinking in BC I have always drilled 9” holes 42-48” deep poured a single 55lb bag of concrete “mixed of course” in each hole let that harden then placed 4x6 timbers up to 16’ tall and built off these in 12 yrs have never had frost heave a single post. Posts are simply tamped in place with clay and concrete prevents frost from lifting posts. Supports placed at ground level will heave with frost. Wish you a safe speedy project love your channel keep ‘em coming!
thanks for watching. I know what you mean about setting footings below frost level and that certainly is the best option. Think in my case I’m going to build on some sandy type soul and relieves my sawmill if necessary to avoid having to mess around with digging holes and doing concrete.
Hey there buddy how are ya? I like that ya marked the ends so ya know what’s what. I’m finding out that even 6 inch log 12 feet long is heavy. I’m thinking of making a logging arch for the quad. Shoot may have to get a v8 Jeep to pull the logs up the hill? Anyway I’m looking forward to seeing the hide out. Thanks for taking us along. God bless you and yours
@@sawingwithsandy I have a lot of trees to drop, don’t really want to but must do to fire prevention folks, and the insurance company. I guess I won’t have a shortage of lumber and fire wood. Now just gotta get my sawmill. I would like to get the 130 max long trailer. Maybe next spring after the snow. I have to do a lot of work in my shop to get it ready for spring and the building season.
Was moving the sawmill closer to your shop a consideration? If nothing else, I hope you plan your design and area so that you can easily get your tractor in and around the mill for bring in logs, removing boards and off cuts. At 20' long, that is quite a bit shorter than your existing shelter. Are you going to have covered area for your milled lumber and your tool storage and work bench?
I thought about moving to the shop but decided against it as nearly all my logs will be coming from trees in the red pine forest and so I thought I’d like to leave the mill closer to the logs along with a place for processing of the off cuts as drying of the lumber. I just didn’t have the space around the shop either that was cleared for a mill. I will have a lot of room on both sides of the new sawmill for maneuvering unlike the last sawmill setup
I just thought I would mention. I watched a video were a guy took a five gallon bucket and a gallon of veg. Oil and mixed it together and turned that into sawdust logs. It worked good for him, , If you are interested I will find the video. Maybe you have enough projects to keep you busy. Regards, Edgar
Sandy, what model is that Husky? Sounds like it runs quite fast so I’m thinking it’s either a pro series saw or a lower model that has had some mods (muffler and/or porting). Am I in the right ballpark?
It’s actually just a stock husky 555 auto tune. It’s definetly a high revving and quick revving saw. I’ve never had auto tune before on a saw but the auto carb adjustments sure are awesome
I recently started logging a very dense section of my forest and I got a few trees hung up, I got tired of dragging my old peavey around with the four foot steel fence post as a handle and I will be swapping the post with a baseball bat, its shorter and lighter.
I think the trouble I’ll encounter is the roof height in HHO 1 is too low to drive my tractor under. I also would like to use the roofing steel for HHO 2 I think to save a bit of money
Yeah I do certainly get the trees hung up quite a bit in tight woods like I have. Tractor helps out of some situations but the old peavy never does me wrong either
Trying to lift logs like that while bending from the waist is the reason I can no longer lift logs like that while bending from the waist. Can you say Spondyloliosthesis, boys and girls? Probably not if you're not Greek.
You are farther ahead than I thought you would be. Regards, Edgar
Things went smoothly the last few weeks, thankful for that

I am in the mill shed planning process right now so your videos will be perfect. Thanks
Awesome glad to hear we’re in the same boat
Just like the previous comment, I am also beginning to lay out plans for a sawmill shed. Great timing on this, Sandy! 👏👏
Right on!
Good ideas thanks for sharing
just found this channel. just subscribed too, you make a very enjoyable video too watch! going to watch the whole playlist for this project. always nice to see a fellow Canadian on the tube! love the videos so far
That’s great to hear Jay. Welcome aboard
I think I would move the new shed to the other side. Then you can use the existing for drying. That's my 1 1/2 cents :)
That could be a decent idea Bob. My only issue is that I’d like to use the roofing steel off the old one for the new one. I’ll have to weigh out my options on this one

I’d be all over some nice hardwood trees to mill. Walnut especially

Nice going on the sawing
Thanks Larry. Hope all is well with you
@@sawingwithsandy
Yes it is, thank you
the old one to keep the wood dry or log dry have a good day be safe
I think I may end needing the metal roofing from the old one for the new one . See what I can do

Yeah the green wood sure is a grunt to haul around. A good logging arch would work wonders I’m sure m. Hope all is well with you

You need a I-beam roller sling for the heavy stuff .... It would work good with the chain hoist i see ...
I agree. I’ve been looking for a beam just for this reason
I like your new video today you did a really good jop today man good jop today man
Right on!
Good night too you man
2:00. That's a good line "numbering my lumbering" bet you cant say it 5 times fast. Lol
Haha I don’t know what I’m saying half the time

I’ll eventually build a separate solar kiln close to my sawmill for drying the lumber

Maybe add some more supports because you don’t need space for logs anymore? Then you could store firewood or use it for drying lumbar?
Those are some good ideas but I actually needed access where the old shack was to load logs onto my new sawmill. Be sure to check out that build.
Hi Sandy,
Just wondering if you work on your homestead full time, or if you also have a job elsewhere - off of the homestead.
Hey David. I do have a full time career outside of the work I do around the property. Makes for a really busy time some days that’s for sure
@@sawingwithsandy great work man keep up. I've learned a lot from your videos 😊
To spruce it up, I’m going to make a new one ... out of spruce!
Sandy, what model is that Husky? Sounds like it runs quite fast so I’m thinking it’s either a pro series saw or a lower model that has had some mods (muffler and/or porting). Am I in the right ballpark?

Not a bad idea that’s for sure. Can’t blame ya
Can you leave HHO 1.0 there as an air drying shed, or will that fully block your access to 2.0?
I think the trouble I’ll encounter is the roof height in HHO 1 is too low to drive my tractor under. I also would like to use the roofing steel for HHO 2 I think to save a bit of money
Maybe you could show people how to roll a tree out of a hang up with a peavey, I have dislodged trees that the winch on my ATV could not even budge.
Yeah I do certainly get the trees hung up quite a bit in tight woods like I have. Tractor helps out of some situations but the old peavy never does me wrong either
Your cant hook looks like it seen better days
Sort of like the user 😉
Trying to lift logs like that while bending from the waist is the reason I can no longer lift logs like that while bending from the waist. Can you say Spondyloliosthesis, boys and girls? Probably not if you're not Greek.
I wouldn't take down what you have I would put walls on it and use it for drying your lumber
I see what you mean there Terry. I’m stuck as I’d like to use the roofing steel from the old one for the new one. See what I can do
@@sawingwithsandy well you already have a building so it just makes sense to keep using it
Yeah I can see what you’re saying there.
