Glad to see the progress. Hope you get more done before the white stuff makes an appearance. I bought a cordless framing nailer. On the plus side, it's really nice not to have the air hose dragging behind and always pulling, especially when up high. On the bad side, it's heavier than the air nailer. I just got done building a shed in a spot where we had electicity but it was quite a long distance away. The cordless was really nice for there. Battery life was never a problem, but we weren't shooting nails all day long Thanks for bringing us along

I built a shed similar to yours this fall and I beat the snow by about 2 minutes. Actually it beat me by a day or two but I managed to get the roof on anyway. My rafters are 19 foot long green 2X8s and the front of the building is just over 12 feet high so it was a lot of heavy lifting by myself. I nailed everything by hand because I don’t have an air nailer and my 65 year old wrists are still feeling the effects after a month of rest. But it turned out good and I’m happy. My mill is still outside but I have a place to keep things under cover anyway. Mine is 16 X 32.

I gotta say lol I think all of us diy sawyers and builders have the same methods of building our own structures lol we know the lumber is rough sawn rough dimension so the building is gonna be roughly square/true lol 😂 this video literally reminds me of building my first mill shed for my first woodland mills sawmill. I bought an hm122 in 2017 lol and that mill got a workout over the years and then I sold it during Covid pricing for more than what I paid for it when I bought it in 2017 lol can’t complain there. Then like every other sawyer….i wanted a “bigger” mill cause I acquired bigger logs lol so I bought the biggest and best mill woodland mills had to offer which was the hm130max woodlander. Once again I milled all my own lumber to cover the new mill for the snow we get in central Ontario (northern Kawartha lakes) and I made my old mill shed into a firewood shelter lol . I call it a success it has been erected for 5 years now with no issues lol if anyone is wondering to pull the trigger on a woodland mills sawmill…. All I gotta say is you will not be dissapointed!! The mill is very reliable as long as your preventative maintenance is reliable if you know what I mean. I’ve owned 2 of their mills now and I have had very good luck with them and they have made me probably over 20 grand in lumber over the years I always recommend woodland mills to all my friends and customers!! Keep up all the great videos and great work 👌

I have both battery and air nailers. The Milwaukee M18 is the way to go in my opinion. Battery lasts forever down side is that it is expensive and heavy.

FYI, if your shed roof pitch is less than 3/12,you should put sealant tape on the steel roofing , on the high side that doubles on your steel roofing . Otherwise the snow will leak thru the steel, thanks, john yost

@robertwazniak94953 күн бұрын
Sandy... are you going to add any sway bracing on the roof sections? Seems like you might have an issue with racking. During construction you could use ratchet straps to square everything up but it might still rack in strong winds. You could do it with X-bracing before the purlins (gapping the purlin for the bracing) or find some smaller cable and a couple of turn-buckles to keep everything true.
@sawingwithsandy3 күн бұрын
Hi Robert, thanks for coming along for the videos. Bracing will be coming up before too long. I wanted to get some of the rafters done in hopes of beating the snow. Right now I"ve got everything plumb and square with the temporary 2x4's from post to post. I"ll eventually take those down once I get the knee braces and diagonal braces on under the rafters.

That was a big step forward getting there i know by now you guys gad snow if not staying still had aome snow fall i don't want to tell hiw to do things but now that you seen the picture of the home made scaffold this today's video would of been really nice to have you could of put all your pieces ready to grab and then go up one time and do all the nailing and walking on a walk way so if you do another building it would be some think about the time you took to built the scaffold this was the perfect example to gain time back and aot less up and down like a yoyo lol but i know the video you show it not not done on the day you upload them can wait to see how the rest will come out . By the way it took alittle longer to set everything scare and plumb but now you are saving time because you down have to fight anything have a great day

Hey Sandy, great video as always. My son and I are about to cut the lumber for our sawmill shed (southern yellow pine). Do you cut yours rough 2x6, etc… or do you cut dimensional (1.5”x5.5”)? Do you primarily use the gauge on the mill (we have the 130max as well) and which one? Do you plane after? You have a lot more experience building with green lumber and any insight would help. Thank you!
@sawingwithsandy3 күн бұрын
Thanks for coming along for the videos! I sometimes cut full dimensions 2" x 6" but more recently I've been cutting 1.5" x 6" as the actual dimension to allow for the use of store-bought joist hangers. Just depends on the project mostly. I use the scale on the mill all the time when cutting as I find it's quite consistent. I like the white coloured scale but I think they changed them on the newer sawmills.

That a 20' span? Or something close to that? I know most bandmills are generally under 20' until you add extra track. seeing the bark on the corners, really shows the size limits of the trees, in the local climate. . We have been thinking about it for years getting a roof over the hole mill, would require a over 26' clear span.
@sawingwithsandy3 күн бұрын
That's a good size span at 26' for sure. I'd likely go to a LVL or steel beam in that case depending on how much snow you get. Thanks for coming a long for the video!
