SawMill Shed Walk Through Tour and How It Was Built with Woodland Mills HM130

[@Jared-Brubaker]

You’ve got the nicest looking sawmill shed on KZbin!

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks Jared!

[@BissellMapleFarm]

That is sweet! I agree!

[@thesheff79]

That is super nice, I left mine open sides as I'm gonna continue building on to it. I'll agree with others. This is one of the nicer sheds I've seen on youtube.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks, I'll have to check out your channel too!

[@ssprofirewood]

Aaron, that is such a nice sawmill shed. Your Dad and you did a great job with the build.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thank you!

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thank you for watching!

[@MrSparks701]

The track cover does really make it look awesome. Very nice. Thanks for sharing.

[@TimothyBrewer]

I absolutely love this shed. I've been looking for a design like this for a machine shed. great video and I'll probably watch it several time when I start mine this summer!

[@AaronTurnwald]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@toddwheeler1526]

Beautiful work gentlemen. Hat's off to the veteran builder and inspector. Retired GC and inspector myself. My mill is due to be delivered by the end of October 23. My 30 acres of big trees await for many projects similar to yours. Really good stuff, thank you for sharing your wonderful project and skill sets. 👍

[@goatman6392]

Really nice shed & Awesome to be able to build it with your Dad. Don't miss any opportunity's with him. I sure miss my Dad, we built a lot together too. God Bless

[@vinniecarter7183]

Very nice building, good job.thank your dad for his help and knowledge. I lost my dad to an accident 45 years ago today. Always in my heart and memories .

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thank you for watching and sharing your story. Your right and im sorry to hear about your father.

[@guymcelwee3489]

Thank you for showing us that shed you guys built. Very nice. Gonna be building one myself soon.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks for watching! Its so nice to have the mill always set up ready to go in its own shed. Good luck on your shed, its well worth the effort!

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Bus Huxley shed with back flap for cleanout is superb, too

[@camperjack2620]

You could do a whole video on the framing and hardware of the sliding doors. It looks very well done.

[@coldspring624]

Now that is a great sawmill shed.

[@thomasgardner5872]

One of the coolest and functional sheds I ve seen ! Awesome!

Thank you!

[@fricknjeep]

hi there real nice , happy sawing john

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks for watching! I check out your videos here and there too!

[@RossOnTheLand]

Wow! What an amazing build. We'd love to build some barns like that. I think a cement floor would be great. Odd about the woodpeckers... Weird....

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks! i love the fresh wood siding look too! Will be protecting with some type of deck finish this spring.

[@James-ib2kp]

Very attractive looking shed. Enjoy

[@sevengulches]

WOW this is an impressive sawmill shed! Thanks for sharing

VERY cool barn!! Nice going!

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks!

[@blackacreage4868]

Awesome! Would love to see your wood storage setup 👍

[@AaronTurnwald]

Whew! You dont want to see that! I JUst have all my dried slabs in the back of my very Junk barn to keep them dry.(wherever the roof doesn't leak.) Nothing special to it. They are just stacked and standing up where they fit.

[@jackiewallace2017]

That’s nice now I have ideas for my shed just bought a saw

[@AaronTurnwald]

Have fun!

[@cabinman]

I’ve been enjoying your videos a lot and I don’t remember if I’ve commented or not because I mostly watch from the TV so if I comment I have to go to my phone or computer. I recently bought a HM126 and set it up outside, so I’m hoping to get a structure built over it before too long. Thanks for the videos and hope you can keep coming up with some good material.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks for watching!

[@KuzweKanfarms]

I love it. Very nice job

[@PeterLee-zn3jl]

Now thats a SAWMILL SHED..!

[@littlegriffoffgridalberta6837]

That is a very nice mill shed if I ever seen one ! I have to build one I have an HM122 on its way & hoping to get it in a shed before winter, but I have so many projects some days don't know where to start lol,

[@AaronTurnwald]

Congratulations on the new mill! Thanks for watching!

[@smokeybailey3080]

Nice looking building

[@cmw184]

Gonna build one in a year or 2, super cool yo.

[@projectsadventuresfarmlife]

Looking good!

[@danielmoore7039]

Awesome ❤💪🙏

[@bard44]

Your video was very precise, except no word of species was mentioned. Was the 8 x 14 beam over the door a Douglas Fir, Eastern White Pine, or something else? Your beam and girts, were they pressure treated or not and what species. Your siding looks like Pine, but could be Poplar or something else. If this had been mine, I would have laid the cement floor first with planning to add another section to the mill in the future so I could cut 20' or 22' beams. You can always build the shed at a later date and it can be anchored to the floor. Also would have made one end of the shed openable, and added a woodstove at the business end. This last is just my ideas.

[@AaronTurnwald]

@@bard44 everything is white pine except the beam above the door which is norway spruce.

[@daveblevins]

Very nice shed 👌 Well done ✅

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thank you!

[@baxterlehman32]

Very nice sawmill shed. I'm sure it's nice to have a father with all those years of construction experience. Oh and the woodpeckers went away, wink wink.🤫

[@AaronTurnwald]

Those dang woodpeckers. Probably migrated for winter i bet. Yes he is very knowledgeable and i try to learn all i can on projects like this! Thanks for watching!

[@garyblevins3532]

Nice sawmill shed

[@Stuammy]

That’s beautiful!

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks for watching!

[@EnGammalAmazon]

You may want to put a sheet metal cap over the top of roof panels. You might get a bit of water coming in there. That could be done and still leave the ribs open for the ventilation.

[@snurb48]

Very clever on the door track above. I see a deep strut with a trolley set up. Did you use a track system for the bottom so the wind can't take the doors off? I like it, wish I could get my hands on a Header Beam like that! Thanks.

[@AaronTurnwald]

The doors each have a pin that drops at bottoms into concrete plastic sleeve hole.

[@gregskaggs8854]

Is there any way to get a copy of the design? I would love to build me a shed like that over my mill.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Sorry not at this time.

[@MrPDGee]

What a great sawmill building! I like the fact you can button it up from the elements. But I do have a question for you. How do you get the mill trailer in and out of the shed? I also have the Woodlander XL (long bed/trailer) and I do take it to other people's property to mill some logs for them (easier to trailer the sawmill to the logs than the logs to the mill). My own ideas for a mill building (which I haven't built yet because of 'analysis paralysis') would need a way to easily get the trailer in and out of the shed. Plans I've sketched up so far always have the end walls open so I can drive the trailer in and out...

[@AaronTurnwald]

Tractors forks reach in and hook up the trailer safety chains. Back it up a little then pull it out on an angle.

[@Mainelyoffgrid]

Yea my woodland mills would look great in there. Haha. Bravo

[@AaronTurnwald]

Bring it over, we can cram it in and do a video with 2 sawmills in one shed hahaha!

[@Mainelyoffgrid]

@Aaron Turnwald haha. I would if it wasn't a permanent fixture in the woods of maine. Definitely subscribed to you channel brotha!!!

[@konoctiswigwam8130]

Nice looking shed!👏 EDIT: what do you use to move the logs on the mill? A hydraulic log turner is not a simple proposition and lifts and tractors are painful for a single person...🤔

[@AaronTurnwald]

Tractor with forks works great for the big logs and a cant hook works fine by hand on smaller or medium logs.

[@marinrotaru2986]

Beautyful. Wery good. 😊

[@petrafarla5439]

Beautifull building. Like to know how wide your board and batten is . Im in the process of milling siding for my house . I find your woodshed just wonderfull,and thought of doing something similar. Thanks 👍👍

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thank you! The boards are 11 inch wide and the battons are 2 inch.

[@douglasboxall9840]

What acool set u

[@tombooks1410]

Have you ever thought about doing a short video on the I-gaging measuring system that you have on your mill? I have an older hm126 and the measurements read greater the closer that you get to the log bunks.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Hadnt thought of it. I have not noticed an incremental increase in board size like you mention. Ill have to test it out.

[@tombooks1410]

The board size stays the same. It’s the scale that reads larger as you drop the saw head. It’s because on the older saws the pointer moves and the log scale is stationary. I’m very interested in the digital readout since I’ve put one on my wood planer.

[@AaronTurnwald]

@@tombooks1410 ok, i thought you were saying you had a dogital readout and its was increasing incrementally. I was hesitant about the digital readout at first. But now my dad and I use it exclusively withoutout issue. Highly recommended one. Just take a little fab work for some brackets to mount it. Zero issue so far.

[@toddcaskey9984]

Awesomeness

[@adirondackwoodsman]

Very nice job! Excellent Construction! Plan to build one this summer that I will put on my channel. Be careful with the gutters and a metal roof. If you get a lot of snow, it could easily take the gutter out when it slides off. I can have snow 1-2' thick on my camp roof and it will take off anything in its path. I just subscribed. Take a look at my camp walk through when you get a minute and let me know what you think. I did it all with wood off of my property.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Thanks for the tips!

[@KevinEaton-u6u]

Super looking... Would you tell me the height of your front and back of roof, and height of the door.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Yes i can measure them tomorrow

[@AaronTurnwald]

13ft tall front side of roof, 8.5 ft back short side of roof, 8ft to top or door.

[@craigmccullough5158]

Awesome shed you got there, just wondering what kind of would you built it from?

[@AaronTurnwald]

@@craigmccullough5158 white pine

[@craigmccullough5158]

Thanks for replying. How old is the building and did you stain it or put anything on the wood to prevent rot?

[@AaronTurnwald]

@@craigmccullough5158 few months old in the video i beleive. I have since coated it with deck stain.

[@craigmccullough5158]

This is a very nice shed. I have an HM130 with the track extension that I would like to cover up and just stumbled upon yours. It is definitely one of the nicest I have seen. Do you have anything you would do differently?

[@AaronTurnwald]

@craigmccullough5158 thanks, so far everything has been excellent. I do plant on putting a gutter on the back side to catch the rain. Only modification thats planned.

[@anneamtoj4398]

Great video. Just what we’re looking for. Can we get copies of the drawings or specs?

[@AaronTurnwald]

We just built it as we went. No documents other than this walk through video. Basicly pole barn style framing.

[@johnwoody4905]

Good video and job really nice sawmill shed. I have not built doors for mine yet built mine out of hardwood. We have huge problem with bee's eating up pine wood. Do you have that trouble where you are? Take care, be safe and well.

[@AaronTurnwald]

I forgot, yes i did have a bald face hornet problem with them eating the siding. I found the nest and blew it out of the with a 12 gauge. Problem went away.

[@thebow2626]

I live in Michigan too did they require you to grade the wood in order to use it for building? I have been considering the HD 36 and a molder. How do you like your mill and would you have opted to do anything differently in your purchase? I have been on the fence for a while now, and concerned how much time to mill it would take. The saw mill building looks awesome! How long did it take you to mill all the wood for it, was it just weekends? Did you dry the wood before building.. sorry for so many questions and appreciate any feedback..everything looks amazing, awesome job!

[@AaronTurnwald]

No wood only needs grading around here when its used for like a house. Not barns or out buildings. The mill has treated us very well. Any little issue was quickly remedied by the company while it was in warranty. Dad and i milled all the boards over a couple weekends and let dry for couple weeks. Thanks for watching!

[@bard44]

I'm surprised you haven't got a wood stoe in there by the saw head. Would keep warmer in the colder months.

[@AaronTurnwald]

got one right in the barn 30 feet away. Maybe need to run a duct out there lol

[@markrencher5863]

Great looking saw mill. Would you sell a copy of the plans? I really like the looks and the function of your saw mill.

[@AaronTurnwald]

Back in the video of the mill shed i say kinda how it was built and what boards. Thabks for watching!

[@vinniecarter7183]

When you put your gutter up, catch the water in a tank to use for your saw. Save money and time to haul from another source.

[@ryangroat7724]

Solid brother! What kind of wood did you use for siding and for dimensional lumber inside? Did you dry it first or was it green? I'm going to be building something very similar thank you for you and your dad's hard work and inspiration 👊🏼

[@AaronTurnwald]

Everything we cut was green white pine. The main beam above the door was cut 4 years ago and is spruce. Thanks for watching!

Hi Aaron, my husband and I love your sawmill shed! Do you sell building plans for this shed? Also, how did you cut the 22' header beam above the doors, or did you buy that? Thank you & have a great day.

[@AaronTurnwald]

I dont have plans for it, though they have been asked for a lot. I might look into it. The 22 ft beam was cut on out mill. Had to do the hangover cut method because our mill only takes 16 ft 9 inch log.
