I finally got time to uplaod a quick picture of the mill. It is now sided, and will try to get a photo up soon. The mill measures 40x60. Most of the frame is Red Pine.

I am in the process of finishing the floor. Once I get all the equipment out of the way, I will post more pics of the completed shack (including joinery).

Here is an updated photo of the mill.

I did a rough estimate of wood sawed for the project.

Frame: 5100 bft of Red Pine and Oak
Roof: 3200 bft of sheathing and 1000 bft of purlings (white pine, red pine, and aspen)
Siding: 3200 bft of wihite pine

I bought commercial trusses and glulam header for the front.

Finally got the picture sized correctly.

one thing i want to know is........... how did you get the long skinny logs to turn into the short fat logs bucked and ready to saw.

that is a very nice looking operation you have going on there... while others near me refer to my mill as an abortion.

bandmiller2 · January 09, 2009, 03:02:30 PM

Wow Peaky,what does your house look like?Good work nice to see a mill building with class.Frank C.

Peakebrook · January 09, 2009, 07:55:46 PM

I haven't designed the house yet. I hope to finish the addition to the mill first. It will be 40x36 on the left side of the mill.

sawmilllawyer · January 10, 2009, 12:02:00 AM

Boy, if that's the shed i really want to see what the house is gonna look like. Must say ffrom the pics the workmanship is excellent. Hope my projects tuen out half as nice.

ljmathias · January 10, 2009, 04:36:43 AM

Beautiful- makes me want one just like it, almost. I like flatter roofs in general since I really hate heights and would much rather work on a roof I can walk on. With a metal roof, you can easily go as low as 4:12 or even 3:12 so the question is: why the high peak? Ventilation?
