Dangerous Work in the LEGO City! - Highly detailed Sawmill...

A lot has happened over the past month in the LEGO City!

[@AchillesXAtlas]

A city like that with a thriving downtown and historic district usually has an industrial district somewhat further away that provides the main income of the town. The sawmill is a start, but maybe some other industries would work as well in that area

[@upsill]

A stone quarry maybe ?

[@goldenghostinc]

A beer brewery is an absolute must. And I think a steel mill would be great.

[@arsadorap3619]

Mining industry or construction of a Mega project

[@timesnewlogan2032]

@@goldenghostinc Ooh, and they could have a hopper car full of grain to transport from the fields to the brewery! And a meat packing plant, where cattle are delivered after being driven to the tracks in the Wild West part of the layout. Then the meat and beer is delivered to the local restaurants and taverns.

[@HeresTony]

Maybe something like advanced industries like a car factory. Though that might require too much space, but it's more like an example of a type of industry.

[@BarnabyJones07]

That's so weird, I was telling myself and hour ago "It's been a while since Brickcraft posted a video, it's time for a new upload" and now here we are 😂

[@D_asin_Z]

[@Vegeto-bluee]

[@ash7324]

An industrial district building on the style of the sawmill could fit well in the free space. Industrial estates tend to be close to logistics hubs like airports and it’s common for them to have dedicated railway sidings for loading goods. It could be a nice way to resolve the transition between the aesthetic of the village and the airport and it’d be a chance to put in a goods freight station rather than a regular train station.

[@danielfindley6931]

It would also open up the possibility to having a freight part of the airport, including a transfer station from the trains to the airport.

[@ash7324]

@@danielfindley6931 yeah man that’d be cool as hell

[@robinjulien5163]

A campground would be nice with some tree log cabins, deer, mountain lion and bears.

[@Bloobz]

Maybe also add a lake with a few boat

[@fredldc1868]

and a little beach spot

[@morcjul]

Yes, a campground on a lake! Fits the Scandinavian look perfectly and a nice lake is desperately needed.

[@ZackarySchejbalCODBO2RGM2]

I think a logging camp would be better

[@yonatanrozenberg6378]

yeah and if you want to go wild you can even put The Loch Ness Monster threre!

[@nicknackproductions9023]

Maybe a summer camp for kids with different activities such as climbing, canoeing etc in that empty area. Some wood cabins would look really nice too

[@AlonsoFan2023]

A good idea, but something like this is rather rare in Europe. Such summer camps for children are more of an American thing as far as I know. That doesn't quite fit in with the concept of a European city.

[@yuiop271]

A little farm with some cows and chickens and things would be adorable, or a riding stable with some cool horse trails through the hills!!

If there's a farm, I hope we see a tractor

[@TheB3]

I love that sawmill build, especially the conveyor belt!!

[@VerityFitzSimmons]

hi b3

[@sodorlightproductions]

Kinda nitpicky, but you should add a siding to the sawmill so that when logs are unloaded, the train doesn't block the main line.

[@konanhuet623]

it literally is on a siding????

[@SoupMagoosh]

@@konanhuet623no it’s not? Those 2 tracks are the main line.

[@D1EHARDTOO]

​@SoupMagoosh @8:17 it shows that the siding isn't connected to the main track so I'm not sure what's so confusing?

[@SoupMagoosh]

@@D1EHARDTOOat 7:30 you can see that it isn’t a siding, and is instead a continuation of the main line that ends abruptly at the saw mill. He hasn’t finished designing the track further down the city yet

[@hpholland]

Nice try Thomas the Tank Engine 🚂

[@vrijegeest512]

I would change the bark/sawdust to the same color as the stems because that’s the color of the bark (they don’t remove wood with that machine so no light sawdust).

[@SirCavas]

In the German video, he said he considers changing it to a darker color

[@yonatanrozenberg6378]

Here are some ideas for the empty space: 1. you shoud build there a big lake and have there a small B&B as well as a train station. In the lake it self you can build some fishing boats or even The Loch Ness Monster! 2. It will be very cool if you built a rocket launch pad in your Lego city in the empty space next to the airport, it will be very cool to see two major peojects connecting together! And by the way I think you should put a train station right next to the terminal like there are in many airports around the world to make it more convenient for tourists and residents to move around the city.

[@hunterwatts1478]

Fantastic ideas!

[@nawalelabbassi7509]

completely agree for the train station at the airport!!!!!

[@curtiscoulthard6028]

1 yes, 2 no, doesnt fit with the country as its based in Austria

[@yonatanrozenberg6378]

So what? Austria can always start exploring beyond the borders of the known world​@@curtiscoulthard6028

[@jonasglanshed]

omg, i had the exact same idea, and when i started to read the comments i saw yours. a lake with a nessie in it would be great

[@boredguy1297]

Since you have the sawmill, why not make a whole industry area? You make a petroleum refinery, or a gasworks factory, that would be really cool

[@nawalelabbassi7509]

industrial idea is cool!!!

[@user-vs6iu8ox5w]

I think on the other side of the airport is a better place

[@redengineer1753]

I like this conveyor belt a lot.

[@sampull3541]

I'd love a long-form video from your brother showing EXACTLY how to wire the lights including part sources, how to, coding, software... everything! As always... great video!!

[@lDarkhorsel]

This channel deserves at least 4x the subs that it currently has. You and your brother are amazing! The creativity, planning, organization, and meticulous attention to detail that you two bring to the table is just breathtaking. And then when one takes into account the enormous scale of this project, it's almost unbelievable how well executed this is.

[@Sewexan]

The lights are mesmerising, and the church's bell is a gorgeous addition, adds so much more life! The time spent paid off, like every upload you do!

[@prozior]

you know its gonna be a good week when Brickcrafts finally uploads!

[@PenguinBrix]

Yes

[@mlalbaitero]

You should add the hypothetical delivery truck to the sawmill assuming that's not planned

[@fenix-legends21]

He already has a sawmill train

[@Hellomrmem]

@@fenix-legends21 that isn’t transporting any of the planks nor does it have any train cars suitable for it

[@ianhoyt2638]

Nice work on the sawmill, it's surprisingly accurate. My father and grandfather used to work in a mill, I would love to see someone sweeping up excess sawdust or bark chips off of the floor. It would be a cool realistic detail!

[@S4B3R117]

It would be cool to see bigger trees, signifying old growth. You could also sprinkle them through the rest of the forested areas to add more variety, especially if there is logging going on. Those logs at 3:24 have to come from somewhere, after all

[@nikomaker1661]

😎👍I really liked the sawmill and I think it would look better if the crane was closer to the pile of logs.

[@BogusNoise]

This was my thought too, looked like it wouldn't be able to reach the farther away logs. Great update as always though!

[@JangoF12b]

The pipe work on the outside of the sawmill is amazing. Really gives a lot of life and lots of nice detail. And not to mention the Golden 2x4 in the church, lovely little hidden Golden brick.

[@Vimek_Xol]

I agree with a lot of the other commenters. An industrial district would be really cool and allow you to flex your gribbling skills! Somewhere in the forest, you could also have a mini story of a camp site, that could be nice!

[@WyattThePilotYT]

An important part for any log storage is sprinkler systems. It keeps the logs damp and protects and prepares them for cutting. And an inspector. Often mills are independent from the logging crews. So there is an independent third party that inspects the wood and says it worth. So it’s not bias to the mill or the logging company. I live in the US pacific NW. A lot of logging over here. So just some ideas for a bit of realism

[@totally_normal_guy]

Yess!!! Another video from the best Lego builder!!!

[@CRMVlogs126]

TD Bricks - better

[@jePetersen]

Definitely an amusement park. Old school wooden coasters, funnel cake stands, water slides.

[@RubDub-Shorts]

It will be a bit weird, for the amusement part being right under the runway to the airport... That could be an awesome idea just not in that specific area😅

[@jeffrussell5076]

1. Now that you have a functional bell, it would be cool to have a functioning clock on the tower, and the bell rings on the hour. 2. A truck driving through town with the finished wood would be a nice story telling element. 3. In the new area, a lake with a nice hotel or resort would be nice. The water could go all the way to the edge to show that this is the end of the area.

[@chrisdunham2911]

Honestly, i must say that i have such a good time watching your videos that i even watch Bob Brickman even though I do not speak German. I always smile at the ideas that you come up with, and given the wide variety of buildings and landscaping you use , I am actually surprised that you never run out of techniques! The audio and lighting mixed with the interactive functionality for your guests to play and become immersed in this wonderful world in which you've created! are amazing!!!Also, accolades go out to your brother which puts in lots of hard work wiring up all of these special features...pure genius, the both of you!!! ABSOLUTELY SUPERB!!! I am going to watch this episode again, (which will be my third time) just because

[@vladtheimpala457]

A campground with a lake would be nice, there. Lots of water activities, outdoorsy stuff and lakeside cabins. Nothing too high because of the airport runway.

[@gerpsu1772]

I would like to see a modern city with skyscrapers. You should add a button that shakes the Church bell and makes the sound

[@Zeldaszombiecorpse]

I think an old university would look cool. It would keep the theme of the town and castle, and it’s conveniently close to the airport.

[@armorelarmadura7807]

So cool to see the 'concluded storyline' with the sawmill, since the lumber train cars have been part of the city for so long!

[@Fanunic]

LOVE the sawmill! Maybe in the empty area behind it you could add a forested national park area? With like campers, trails, visitor center, etc? Might be nice to balance out all the urban stuff with some nature.

[@korried5591]

My day can’t get any better when I get a notification that you uploaded again 🥰

[@kevinvodochodsky]

I agree with most people that an industrial park mixed with a logistics company would be great for that empty space. I do like some of the recreational ideas. You could almost have a little camping scene near the castle area with some people sleeping in tents or have a camper set up around a camp site.

[@allenm1024]

That flickering effect for the graveyard candles made me extremely happy. Such beautiful storybuilding.

[@pivoteer5438]

You're amazing man, when your Lego city is done it's definitely going on my must visit list 🙏🙏🙏

[@mecrusher4492]

I think it would be really cool to see a turn table in the unfinished area. It would take up most of the area yes but it would give a really nice way to display the locomotives you have!

[@patrickhuser]

One little detail that I think would be cool for the future is a good bye sign next to a road saying “Thank you for visiting Lego City” or what ever sentence you want

[@shmul2337]

I think that maybe adding some sawdust lying around inside the sawmill would add some realism as vacuums never pick up every particle of sawdust. Love the build though! Keep up the great building and videos!

[@henningKO]

How about a quarry or mine for the incomplete section? The track might gain some elevation even. Though honestly, it's big enough for a whole other town, if you're not tired of towns...

[@Mazzaspazza]

Great to see you back :) also will the moon base update on the Bob brickman channel be put up on here? Also the outside of the mill looks amazing, the pipes add so much to it!

[@unavoidablycanadian397]

What an amazing build. The pipes look very good on the outside of the saw mill. I think having an outdoor Ariel adventure and/or paintball park would be fun to add to the city. It's something different and colorful.

[@4UDIOTAPE]

This is absolutely astonishing. I LOVE the development of every building from something that makes me go from 'Huh, I could see that kinda work, I guess' to 'Holy smokes, it's beautiful.' - Great job as always! :D

You could build a small train shed.

[@dpgwalter]

The sawmill might just be my favorite build you've done in the city. Super detailed, great detailing (especially love the sand green colored machines) and uses a colorscheme that stands out just enough from the rest of the world.

[@ashbridgeindustries380]

The sawmill has got to be my favourite building in the whole city! Such an incredible amount of detail and accuracy. And it would be the perfect place to add a couple more sound effects...

[@RogerMollet]

The claw of the crane needs to be more pointed.

[@dubbzibricks]

as they already make this by the normal lighting, it is much more natural and you still get a good day/night changing effect!

[@PaRAtro0per]

This sawmill is incredible. I can't watch other lego channel because they are so far from your level. You could add a summer camp in the middle of the forest, with tents and cabins. A river and canoes with many kids.

[@bradleybergeron1740]

I love the churchbell! For the sound, maybe you could set it up to reflect the hour of the day (you know, the classic 1 chime for 1 PM, 2 for 2 PM etc). However, if you are going for a sound that plays more frequently for the museum you could also just have it go off once or twice per day/night cycle. Amazing stuff! I love how the village is coming together and the interconnectedness of the stories being told. Can't wait for the inevitable logging camp to explain where the logs are coming from! (I'd maybe put that in the empty space, could build some bigger trees that are being cut down for the sawmill!) Can't wait to see where it all goes next!

[@tomharestad3398]

If you run out of space, i recommend getting rid of the airport. Its honestly the most boring and plain area of the city.

[@justjeffrey5941]

Idea for the unbuilt corner of the display. Maybe a camp ground with large campfires, tents or cabins to sleep in, and a pond or a small lake for people to swim in. Could be fun as either a Trailer/Camping display. Or a Scout troop.

[@joepoeira6925]

Your brick crafting is meticulous. Beautiful lighting, and the addition of sound is spot on.

[@5280ryan]

[@PunishedTerry]

They bell in the tower really made me immerse in the town, i would love to see more soundscapes around the city

[@ethanrose-mr4eu]

You can have an oil facility in the back of the room where the track splits and ends. You could also have more scenery depth by making the elevation drop and have a river there. there could be a train bridge that crosses the river and the river leads out to the ocean.

[@RamseysTrains]

I love seeing how prototypical Lego trains can look. I’ve seen a lot of detail on various scale model railroads and yours has to be the best Lego model railroad I’ve found so far on KZbin. I would love to see you take a break from the city for an update or two and build some more train Mocs!

[@twtchr44]

You should make a lake in that open area! So many opportunities for scene building: campsites, boating/fishing, the mob burying a body, off-roading... So many ideas!

[@australoraptor]

These videos are so good, I love this project. Honestly it's one of the only channels where I stop everything I'm doing when a new video is out. The color for the conveyor belt is on point. For the remaining space maybe an excavation site could be cool, with dinosaur bones or ancient city remains, maybe they could be shipped to a museum which would ad a bit of storytelling. Some power plant or coal factory/wind turbines could be nice too. Maybe a return module from the lunar base that would have landed in the forest.

[@kennniiikc3162]

The pipes added so much life to the house! Brilliant idea 👍🏼

[@Paul-Genge]

In my opinion you are the best LEGO builder on KZbin. Incredible realism and details. I would like to see a nature park with an open water lagoon in your remaining area. Showing wildlife and water activities like boats, wind-surfer or paddleboarding and café and cycling trail for example.

[@vanilleweggl]

A camping would look great on the last free section. With bungalows, tents and bonefires, maybe a lake (and a sea monster xD) ... People from the city would go there to escape concrete and spend the weekend in the nature 😍

[@MTeaTaku]

I think a fun idea you could put into the empty area is that saw mills in the past were often times off rivers, since that's how they got the logs there, by having them run downstream. Maybe you could have a small little section up on a hill that the train track would run under (maybe the station is at the exit/entrance to a tunnel in front of the hill), and have at the top of the hill have a group of workers chopping down trees and have them putting them in the river to be sent down to the mill along with the logs that are being delivered by train. I think that would be a fun way to tie in that section with the forest by the castle area and make it look natural as well with the sawmill. ^^

[@trickstersts]

I think making an amusement park would tie in everything together nicely, as well as a hotel because it’s right next to the airport.

[@EL-SKiN]

I think the space between the train tracks and the airport would look good with some sort of natural element like a river running through it. Which would give some justification to the turn the track makes but also fill out an area that couldn't really have any buildings. I would also love to see how you would tackle doing a river.

[@LukeMaps]

That chapel is beautiful! It's nicer than any actual church buildings where I live. I love the swinging play feature of the bell with the ringing sound.

[@gonewiththenerds6597]

That corner seems perfect for a roundhouse. If anyone doesn't know what that is its a large building where they service train engines and cars, and features a large round plate that they use to turn trains around and onto other tracks.

[@fyler1]

I absolutely cannot wait to see this in person. I love how much detail and life there is in something made out of inanimate objects!

[@akatsukipain183]

As others have said it, a campground surrounded by forest would be cool, with a campfire, log cabins and in the distance a rocky mountain with people climbing or hiking. It could have some dirt path through the forest to give a mysterious and spooky atmosphere.

[@seanrrr]

The sawmill might just be my favourite build in this city so far! I'm a sucker for sand green.

[@miiiik2]

Some industrial area would be great, with workshops, storages, maybe some smelter? You did a great job with the sawmill with all of the details so I think it could look really good. The train track also make will more sense then.

[@moontravellerjul]

the sawmill looks amazing!! in the spirit of having connected stories, as suggested by other commenters, a delivery truck for the milled planks would be cool; additionally i think an under construction house (bare timber frame) would be a interesting and challenging build, as well as provide another connection to the stories that carry across the entire city!

[@slushosaur]

A funfair would be an amazing thing to add to the corner! So many options for moving rides and lights!

[@ce7.0]

oh my god the little flickering votive candles in the graveyard are so beautiful

[@Hylian_Grouch]

That sawmill is perfect. So clever. Best bit is the sawdust by the de-barking machine 😊 in the left corner you could elevate the land again (just a bit) and have a hillside forest camp ground for tents and caravans with activities like rock climbing and assault courses and mountain biking

[@lordrams9058]

i think it would make sense to put a factory (industral area) in the empty part. lego machinery is so cool (you crane included, he is not ugly) and that is something you dont have in any of your builds that i have seen.

[@gordo4055]

I'm so happy that you added a sawmill! I suggested one ages ago to match your log wagons and because you had that great forest. Its a great addition and realistic to the local economy for you little city! ty

[@AeciusthePhilosopher]

Some sort of logging camp for the trains to load up on logs to transport them to the sawmill could be interesing; but currently the saw mill might be too close to the forest for that to really work. A station in the far end that includes a track for the logging cart to go to the sawmill and passengers to reach the airport would definitely be fun; bonus points if you can let it identify what trains are passing at any given time and have them be shunted to the right track.

[@ThisThing5649]

It would help the story telling if you had the dark brown log thats feeding into the debarker poking out on the other side as light brown. I think that would fit so well with all of the amazing little touches youve added through out the city

You've done a lot of work with your city. Ive been here before you moved to the bigger place and now the city's expanding! Congrats

[@broggie123]

[@deanhenry3851]

Great job on the saw mill. It's just incredible. I think a good transition to the airport would be an industrial/trucking area. It does a good job of transitioning from sawmill to airport and would make logistical sense to be near the airport.

[@Filolia]

Long ago I've worked at a woodshop, all the machines were hooked up with ventilation to the ceiling, all the sawdust was sucked up and transported to an machine outside on the roof. That machine compresses all the sawdust into little cylinders which are then sold for fuel for fireplaces and such.

[@issies2145]

I would add a water treatment and /or waste disposal area only because every city building game emphasizes these services. A junkyard would also be a place full of cool details
