This is the last project I finished in my personal world. Any big city need s a big sawmill and wood workshop to provide materials to build with.
The intention is to depict all the facilities needed to process wood; from cutting the biggest logs to processing the final products. I wanted to make as many machines and as "believable" as possible. The saws to cut raw logs are in the two lateral wings, where the workshop is in the lower central zone. In the upper floor of the central part there's the showroom for customers to see the products catalog and make their orders. The yard outside is where the logs are stored before being processed. A big one has just arrived in a special cart. The lox pulling the cart has been moved fast to the stables somewhere else before he could be enraged by a bats raid and would start stomping everything 😋.
The whole project is vanilla as everything in this town; but with those logs I cheated a a bit. 🙄🤫I used plant Everything mod to be able to have all kind of tree logs for the decoration of the sawmill; I kept also the stump of the swamp one as a makeshift table. At first I thought the alternative would had been to transport them on ship, but logs just fall to water, so no other option here. The build deserved this small transgression.
The build is complete, but I'm sure I'll ad some extra details once we have the new wood pieces (and possibly tree logs type) that will come with Deep North. That's why I left it at 95% for the moment, though I'm pretty sure nothing too drastic will change
As every publication limits images to 20, I opened another one to focus on the machinery. You can find it here: www.valheimians.com/build/valheimber-sawmill-machinery/
Enjoy
PS: This build will be on display in the builders showcase server in Val-Con 2026, in the iron & industry zone. Many thanks to Astrid Sinjesdottir, AvatarOfKu and Hi, I'm Klaus for their help and assistance to make it possible.

After a long pause, I keep working on this build. I finished the structure of the three main bodies of the building with all the roofs. Then, started to decorate the workshop in the lower central zone with several work stations, the tool desk, the grinding machine to keep things sharp and a lathe machine.

Have something to say?
I'm eager to see that sawmill of yours; you always add lots of cool ideas to your buildings
The artisan table with the moving gears give some room to play with; I've already used on my port cranes, they can be seen in some of my general view screenshots of the town (I've still to make an entry for the port alone). When I had the idea of the sawmill, I knew I will use the table someway to look it powers something.
And the shield... I initially placed there the grinding stone of the forge; but it was ridiculously smaller compared with the log. Then I tried the silver shield because it seems it has "teeth" but still too small. At the end I had to stop being stingy and use the flametal shield. 😅 This whole build is going to have use flametal than my gear 😖
