- In this video, Greg is back on the sawmill - milling timbers for the sides (wings, lean to) of our barndominium / barnhouse. We already have half of these timbers milled, but still need the other half. So, we are milling them now so they can dry a bit. It's nice to be on the sawmill - feels like it's been awhile!
We are milling our barndominium - barn house out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill. If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, (which is now our barn house build) make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the first slab last summer, we milled most of the timbers needed over this past winter/spring, added plumbing, put in a second slab for our garage and now we have started building our barndominium - barnhouse - lodge - our home, with 8 bents going up being the latest excitement! Now, we are working on securing the bents and adding to the structure.
Here's the video where all 8 bents are put up in one day- it was pretty amazing:
• It's FINALLY Time To B...
Here's the video where we share our change in plans and decide to turn our barn into our home:
• EVERYTHING Had To CHAN...
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 and turn it into our home:
• Why Do We Think WE CAN...
***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 is a link to the video that shares the sawmill cover / sawmill shed build from start to finish:
• Sawmill Cover Build - ...
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!

Back On The Sawmill - Milling More Timbers For Our Barndominium Build On Our Woodland Mills HM130Max
July 2024
Sounds like a perfect summer evening!
Definitely! 😊
I very much enjoyed how you gave us instructions on how and why you cut your logs! Smart instructor’s make smart societies! Thank You! ❤
Thank you! I’ve definitely learned a lot over the last two years and wanted to share some tips to hopefully make some things easier for others. 😊
Nice to see the sawmill back in action 🌲
It’s nice to be back! 😁
Dear sir, the footage at the beginning of the video says it all. A stack of logs, your sawmill ready to cut and your beautiful project with vertical bents, no bark. Outstanding and what a wonderful dream in the woods becoming a stark reality. Super cool stuff 😎. Thank you so very much for taking everyone along for the ride.
Hi, Todd- We think it’s super cool too. Awesome view from the sawmill and a little easier to imagine where the timber you’re working on is going. It really is a dream. 😊
This CZcams channel is educational, entertaining, and factual, offering overall excellent content.
Thank you for your kind words! 😊
It’s so nice to build your house with your own mills and mill the wood , this is a bright path to success.
It’s pretty amazing. We feel really lucky to be able to take this project on! 😊
Another "dandy" video which I thoroughly enjoyed. Just for you Beth - lol.
Thank you, Terry- that’s awesome! 😁
It feels like it's been a bit since we've been on the sawmill - and it was nice! These are really great logs and it's exciting knowing exactly where they will be going!
Fun question: Greg uses the word "dandy" as a good thing - Beth thinks of it as not a good thing... for example, If I said, "It's a dandy." Do you think that's good or bad? Just curious!!! 😁 Hope you enjoy this video!
I think it depends on your tone. It’s a good thing, but not when said sarcastically 😊
@@deana1848 True! 😁
Howdy y’all- love the music you pick- got kind of a “snakey” feel to it. Those logs turned out some nice timbers. Hope y’all have a great weekend. God bless
Thank you, Paul! Definitely nice to be back on the sawmill- love milling these premium logs. And, sawmilling music is always fun to pick! 😁
The beauty of wood, and how to use it building a very nice home.
Thank you- it’s pretty cool to mill a timber and know right where it’s going in our home! Thanks for watching! 😊
Your building project is very impressive I’m milling lumber for my sawmill shed on my 130 max I built log turner at 85yrs. Old everything has to be easy the hardest thing at the end of the day is wrestling the woodland mills cover on the mill 😮💨
Hi, Mike- Makes me smile to think of you milling and still getting things done! If you put a little cover surrounding one end you won’t have to wrestle that cover on😁. Thanks for watching.
In general cutting outside the pith, free of heart timbers will usually pull as you have differential tension on the beam. I have always milled them oversize, stickered them in a pile to dry for a few weeks and then resized them to my desired dimension. Boxed heart timbers, will check more but assuming your leveling the pith and it runs relatively straight, the box heart timbers dont spring or pull as much bc there is relatively equal tension on all faces. Looks like that woodland mill has already paid for itself several times over.
Hi, Kurt- That makes sense. Most of the logs only yield a boxed heart but I’m always trying to get a double. One of last logs I milled (a couple of months ago) was a mess for this same reason. Thanks for the advice. 😁
I worked in the Cascade sawmill in the late 70's. We were the first women hired to work there, welcomed by the older guys, but not so much by the yourger guys. It was quite the experience. Thanks for sharing
Hi- Hard work in those sawmills back then. My dad pulled green chain for awhile - he was pretty lean during those days. 😁
Good to see you back on the mill.
Thank you, Thom- it’s nice to be back! 😁
I’ve watched several off Grider’s using a mill to get their building wood and you the first one catching the saw dust in a bucket.
Also, love your log turning device.
Great job.
Hi, Bill- thank you! I definitely learned that from someone else’s video- can’t remember who… We didn’t have power when we first built the sawmill cover, but we have it now- not off-grid.
Thanks for watching! 😁
Ponderosa pine, the Wagu beef of timber
Hi, Pete- Not sure if I agree with you- I’m going with Douglas fir for my vote.
I thought they were pretty much the same. Excuse my ignorance, I’m Australian and we don’t have them here. How bout Angus beef of timber.
That’s a real PRO setup! I’ve never seen using an electric winch to flip the logs. Genius! 🏆
Thank you! It definitely saves the back!!! 😁
good to see absolutely no deflection in your sawmill shed when lifting those logs with your winch...BEAUTIFUL LOG
Hi, Butch- Thank you-these are some great logs!
I still think I should strengthen that arm but I’ve been a little busy 😁
Ive got a sawmill i have to set up and build a building for. Can you tell me about your winch on a swivel for turning your log ? Or do you have a video on it ? Im subscribing now. Will do my building on my channel too.
Here is the video where we installed it!

Hope this helps - let us know if you have any other questions about it. Huge fans!!! 😁
Off topic, what size and type (pex??) of water line did you plumb for your house water supply?
Hi, Michael- Went with 1 1/4 inch water supply line. 😁
One of the YT channels I follow is by a guy called Jake Rosenfeld, he just posted a new episode of a post and beam barn build (it's a kit barn and he's just started installing it for a customer) During the first minutes of this video he's fitting wearable collars to the sockets he'll use for tightening the bolts, the collars are to protect the powder coated plates just like the ones you used. I realise that most of your plates are likely already fitted, but I am assuming you have a few more to fit and you may go back and tighten some of those already assembled at some point. If so, it may be something to consider. Here's a link to the episode czcams.com/video/ljmT7Xwxulg/video.html
Great info- thanks for sharing! 😁
