In this video, Greg and Erik have a record day! These logs are smaller than the BIG ones we've milled in the past, but they still take work and some are a little difficult, but we make the most of them and come away with some great timbers. We milled 6 logs in one day...and the logs gave us 6 good timbers, 5 of which will be used as rafters for the barn. The logs did not produce much extra bonus material, but that's because they were smaller than are usual logs. We are still really happy with the production and the timbers. It feels good to be able to see the lumber adding up. Did you know we are building a barn out of wood that we are milling on our own sawmill?! If you haven't followed along with our BARN Build, make sure to check out that series in our playlists. We finished the slab this summer and are on a pause while we mill all of the lumber needed for the barn build. We have A LOT of milling in our future. Here is the video where we share our barn plans. Our plans are from https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiBH6ELa7xy_ulJ-vc4iMoQ . We are excited to build one of his beautiful barns! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib5SVWHgx7M ***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: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_VBQI_eN04 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!
