THE BEAST | HEAVY DUTY SAWMILL FOUNDATION
Ойын-сауық
We have built a Beast. We needed a Heavy Duty Sawmill Foundation for the New Sawmill. We have ordered the Wood-Mizer LX150. We have taken extra measures on the New Sawmill Foundation. This is the most important part of any building project. We have designed the pillars to have a larger base than the top portion, double wired steel inside the footer and 10 inch anchor bolts to make sure we have plenty of grip for the pressure treated 6x6 rails the mill will attach to and used 10 inch timber screws to tie them together every three feet. Follow along here for behind the scenes information and on our main channel for the building of the homestead listed below.

Thanks! We think it will hold anything the mill can handle
I’ve always heard , Richard , if you don’t have time to do it right the first time , how are you going to have time to do it over a second time ? You have done every job right that I have seen you do , congratulations 👍

Well thank you for the kind words. I have had to go back on a few things but try to think it through as I go.
Hey there Richard. I agree with you that a dowel to put in holes will serve as a dirt stopper and keeps the bolts and nuts from rusting. Awesome job and looking forward to seeing you assemble the new sawmill. God bless you all.

That’s right. I will wait till they shrink some before tightening again
I think you have a winner there Richard. Having access to those nuts could save you if you would have to do any changes to the set up and moving of the sawmill. Stay safe and keep things going your way around there. Fred.

Yeah, I don’t think I would wanna close it up fred without being able to have access back into it just in case. But I’m hoping that I won’t have to mess with it in my lifetime.
That's some darn fine work brother...

Thank you for the nice comment. I think it’s going to handle the load that that sawmill is capable of and then some. I’m at peace inside and I don’t have any worries about it.
Good afternoon Richard, I think that the holes can be filled with wax from an ordinary candle; the wax will protect the wood and, if necessary, it will be easy to reach the bolts. I do this, it works great
@OutpostReview

Good idea. We have had a lot of suggestions. Thanks for the comment. Now I just have to decide what I’ll do
Richard cover the holes with plugs and I would even cover the Timbers tops with ice and water shield to protect it from oil and other chemicals that might soak in to the timber that can cause it to deteriorate or become flammable.
@OutpostReview
26 күн бұрын
Excellent idea, Raymond. My thought was if it covered it enough and won’t move, those holes would be covered, and the top of the pressure-treated lumber would be protected.
I am so jealous of your set up Richard. The fact that everything you do is so amazing and that you have enough land and the equipment to build homes for your children is a dream come true. May God watch over you and your loved ones.

Well, I’m excited to be able to help them as well. If they decide that’s what they want to do. We want to thank you for all your support and hope that you’re enjoying the videos as we go.
I use the Timber screws and they are great, especially considering their strength.

It certainly helped to pair those together. It also took out some of the discrepancies that would have been there only using the anchor bolts.
Plugs are a good idea...also,slapping some coal tar underneath and on the side of the timber skid towards the road should keep the rot at bay
Richard you know I love your videos but it looks like it’s going to be awful tight in there with the new mill. God bless and stay safe.👍

Yeah, like I said, it wasn’t built with getting a new mill in mind. But looking at the dimensions, I can get it in there.
You Guys are the Best! Thank you for the Shout Out on your Video I am so glad you saw our video, your comments are priceless! Ironic we both building bunks for our Saws at the same time. You guys take the prize for Most Heavy Duty! Keep it up guys! I’ll be here on your next one!🤠👍

Well, I’m not sure if ours is the most heavy duty, but that was the catchiest title. I could think to send out a video, lol. You guys are doing great down there. Just keep putting 1 foot after the other.
I would go ahead and plug the holes as you said, keeping the saw dust out on the bolt holes will save a lot of work if/when you need to get to the nuts to adjust them. once the timbers dry out you man need to run the nuts back down from time to time. you are doing great on your mountain, take care
@OutpostReview
27 күн бұрын
Yeah, I’ll probably have to adjust them overtime like you say. I need to be able to get in there to fix something if it goes wrong. Can you imagine trying to replace one of those and not having access to take the nuts off? That could be a disaster, lol.
Wow 😳... Today are you realy handsome😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗👍👍👍
I think the dowel plug idea would be the best route to take also.

Plug the holes with 2" wooden or PVC dowels, to keep the water and sawdust out of those holes. I think your son is think about when he has to change those out after you're gone.😂 always thinking about the inheritance right...😂😂

Thank you for making the comment. All of them seem to be suggesting some good ideas so this is good. Talk going around.
What I would do? Spokennoise is have a board the same width of each one of your 6 / 6 of your runners. Cover the top of it and then it's all screwed down. If you had to remove it, you could remove it and if it if the legs aint gonna go where the holes are just put you some little blocks, it'll cover the holes and set it. Set a screw them down and then take them off. When you need to to get to the bolts, whatever it'd be easier than by taking a plug and sticking in there and wondering if you can't get the plug out, what are you going to do? Is screw a screw down in there and pull it out. And what if that don't work? You just keep breaking it and it just shatters up, and you mass up your threads on the inside. So just take a block of wood, a little bigger than your hole.Cover your hole after you get your shawl set up and then you're fine

I think that’s a good idea and kind of what I said when cutting a plug to go in so I could pull it out. Can’t put anything else on top because I have already raised the total height 8 inches from normal
plug hole with spray foam just enough to cover , rubber flap , sliding dovetail cover

Good idea. We’ve got several comments that suggest different things which gives me lots to think about.
You may want to consider an ice and water shield application on top of the double 6x6 beams

I am sure you will receive other good ideas but in the end as you stated, you will choose the one that works best for you.
I would definitely plug them with hardwood dowels so that as the treated shrinks, the plug stays in. You can remove them with screws anytime you want.

I think you’re right that’s a very good idea. We’ve got many comments on different ways so this is good talk
put a little pea stone or something and fill the holes with 1/2" bondo. A whack with a hammer and the bondo will break

wILL THE ANGLE braces at the top of the opening interfearn with how far the saw on the tracks can travel

Well, I laid the track out with that in mind, but I didn’t have exact measurements on everything so I did allow. I think a couple of inches on the inside from what figures I could find. We’ll just have to wait and see when it gets here.
Does mean you might have to create more over hang to ensure the head is kept out of the elements? Sorry if you already answered this kind of question.

Not sure about the pressure-treated. I could rub some of the timber oil on them. It won’t hurt him one bit. I thought about painting, actually the bottom portion. If I left them, they would probably eventually deteriorate and break off.
I'd plug them, or they will be pain trying to clean out.

You’re right and that’s what we intend to do
I like how you build your framework but it's not perfect in my opinion I have some experience with woodmizer and there's saw frames is not good enough in areas of content they move sometimes. I think you should of get 2 4/6 metal beams remove feet from saw and set directly on beams this way it never moves. Good luck with.
