Mike took full advantage of his spruce plantation when deciding how to build a shelter for his HM126 Woodlander.  He set some 16’ logs aside when he was thinning the forest and used them as the rafters to hold up the 45’ x 12’ roof.  The structure is incorporated into the forest by using the living spruce trees as support posts.  Mike has plans to add walls, leaving a 22’ wide south facing opening to let in sunlight. 

Since retirement, Maxwell spends hours milling on his HM122 every day.  There's something about the fresh air and being in nature that makes him feel youthful and relaxed.   Despite its relatively standard look, Maxwell included an interesting feature to his shed to make his milling experience easier.   Behind the mill are rails where he can pre-load his logs and then easily roll them right onto the mill when he is ready.  This is a genius design that makes milling multiple logs a simpler process. 

Inspired by the tobacco barns in Kentucky, Tony stained the board and batten black on his millhouse.  He used contrasting crushed white stone as ground covering to keep the mud at bay and give it a finished look.  Tony added electricity to the shed with some bright lights so he can power up his HM126 any time he desires, day or night.  He plans to build a matching sugar shack next to the mill in the future. 

This sawmill shed is big enough to keep everything conveniently together.  Will’s HM130MAX Woodlander fits on one side leaving lots of room for lumber storage and his blade sharpening setup on the other.  The land where Will built the shelter has a gentle slope which he managed by making the walls on one side 9’ and the other 12’resulting in a perfectly level roof.  The siding is made up of vertical board and batten and the roof is metal with rolls of insulation underneath to battle condensation.  A perfect combination of function and form. 

Charles built a sawmill shed that keeps the head of his HM130MAX safe from the elements while leaving lots of room around the rails to work. The double doors open for easy access, leaving some space inside for storage. This smaller style of sawmill house keeps the mill safe while simultaneously looking stylish.
