Since several people were curious how the posts were attached to the subframe I thought I'd answer in one comment here. The floor joists were reinforced under all six posts and the posts used heavy duty screws to anchor down into the floor joists. We are not in an area that has any seismic activity so I felt good about this approach.
Aww what a shame. Such a truly impressive timber frame structure. Built on a subfloor of sawdust and glue! Well hopefully that OSB doesn't give You any trouble, that timber frame material should easily last 100 years, the subfloor 20 if it stays dry!
10/10 Would watch again. P.S. I was taking a break from writing papers for my finals in college, dreaming about building my own timber frame house someday, when I came across your video! I cannot even begin to describe to you how happy finding this video made me. I miss you Jesse and I miss hearing about all your woodworking adventures! I hope you have been having a good year and that you and your family are well. Miss you super duper lots.
The timber frame looks perfect. Do you have any videos of the exterior cladding and roofing process? How did you lift the plates? Looks like just 2 people lifted these. I'm sure they're pretty heavy.
Sorry for the late reply but hopefully this is helpful: The exterior cladding was done by building a standard 2x6 wall around the frame and then finished with plywood and wrapped. I moved before getting to put up siding but was planning on board-and-batten. Regarding the plates - they were white pine and had dried enough to lift with just a few people. So my wife and kids and I were able to get them in place on our own!
Hello! The cabin is 10x16 and I'm not at liberty to share the plans since they were part of a class I took. There is a book called "Learn to Timber Frame" that has a plan for a very similar cabin.
Excellent. Would you be willing to give me the plans? I have a chain Mortiser and went to a school for timber framing but I'd love to do something this size with my son that turned 16 as a memory for us.
So sorry for the late reply! I didn't own these plans so unfortunately I can't distribute them. They were very similar to the plans in Will Beemer's excellent "Learn to Timber Frame" book. I'd highly recommend picking it up.
What kind of wood did you use for the timber frame? I have a ton of pine on my property, would that be suitable or is a hardwood required? Cheers from Northern Michigan.
The most common type of wood for it would be Douglas fir; by far. Now, that said, there are numerous woods you can use, however, there are some features the wood must have. It has to be strong and very resistant to decay and splitting. If your trees are Douglas fir or white pine, you're in luck! If not, you can possibly still use them, just hit up Google. Oak is also good just fyi.
Your cabin looks perfect. I’ve also watched your ladder video too, is there any other videos of the build coming? It goes from dirt, to floor to frame then skips to being finished! Hopefully you have more to come! Cheers from Aus 👍🏻🇦🇺
Wondering how the length of the angled braces joining the vertical / horizontal beams is determined . Does the brace length depend on the height of the beams etc or simply an optimal angle results in the angle brace length ?
Dumb question maybe, but did you in any way anchor the frame to the foundation? Seems weird to me that this massive weight would just float willy nilly on a lumber platform. Over time, it could shift out of position. (Wind shear, foundation shifting, not sure if you're in a seismic area, etc.)
@@JesseSchutt because i really enjoy, framing, of any kind, and weird music just ruins it for me, and many like me. Just like stupid ass replies tend to turn me off. So I take a minute to let the offender know. Thanks for arguing with me.
@@davepelfrey3958 strange reply. So if he had put on music you don't like , say you hate Frank sinatra music or heavy metal, would you not have commented. I think this guy is correct. But if you like the music it's not a problem. And if you turn the volume down you never know if the guy filming starts to talk

I realize it's kinda randomly asking but do anybody know of a good place to stream newly released movies online?
@Sincere Roger I watch on FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Legend Westin Yea, I've been using flixzone for since april myself :)
@Legend Westin thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) Appreciate it !
@Sincere Roger you are welcome :)
Something extremely interesting in seeing interlocking wood joints like these. I always liked seeing such joinery. Thumbs Up!
Thanks Gary!
It's a great feeling when you have made/built something by your own hands. Great job !
Great video! Wish it was longer! Blessings to your builds and family.
Awesome video. Great job.
Enjoying your videos. I'm all about family and my hobby is woodworking. Keep the vidios coming.
Just bought some land on an island in Maine.
I am going to show this for any permits I might need
God Bless you!
Wow! That sounds like a fantastic adventure! Let me know if you have any questions of if I may assist in any way!
Absolutely beautiful job.

Jacob! I missed your comment! Thank you for the kind words and hope you are well!
Interesting cabin. Nice work. What were the dimensions on your bent posts? 6x6 or 8x8? What about your rafters?
You my man, are amazing. Really great work. So jealous, wish I knew how to do this kind of stuff.
Great video! Cabin looks great!
Thanks for the kind words!
Congratulations! Looks fantastic!
Thank you!

Thanks Charles :-)
This is exactly what I have been envisioning for my cabin in Montana! May I ask the dimensions and if you have plans?
Hello! The cabin is 10x16 and I'm not at liberty to share the plans since they were part of a class I took. There is a book called "Learn to Timber Frame" that has a plan for a very similar cabin.
was the ridge beam necessary? Or would the tie beams be able to hold the horizontal force from rafters without a ridge beam?
Beautiful
Great Video!!!
Amazing work man!
Looks great. Update please!!
Jesse I'm following your new project which is fantastic. On this cabin build what size posts were those? 6 x 6 or 8 x 8?
Thanks! They were 6x6 timbers for the posts
how did you anchor the structure to the ground? btw i have been looking for months for a good frame design and i found it, thank you very much
Excellent. Would you be willing to give me the plans? I have a chain Mortiser and went to a school for timber framing but I'd love to do something this size with my son that turned 16 as a memory for us.

@@gesshugh9976 This is made from white pine!

You're the man.

Wondering how the length of the angled braces joining the vertical / horizontal beams is determined .
Does the brace length depend on the height of the beams etc or simply an optimal angle results in the angle brace length ?
Most braces that are mortised in are 36 inches to the two mortises. It makes the brace a little bit longer than 51 inches on a 45*
Is this from the North House "Build your own small frame" course? It sure looks like the same frame.
Sorry for the late reply - Yes it is from that course! I'd highly recommend it!
@@JesseSchutt I took the same course with my daughter and built the sauna. th-cam.com/video/VTOoRP3CDAc/w-d-xo.html
Salem Woodworks oh cool! Who was your instructor? Get?
@@JesseSchutt Tom Healy
@@SalemWoodworks That's fantastic! I checked out your videos and you've done a fine job, both with the build and the documentation!
How are the frame legs secured to the base timbers?
Dumb question maybe, but did you in any way anchor the frame to the foundation? Seems weird to me that this massive weight would just float willy nilly on a lumber platform. Over time, it could shift out of position. (Wind shear, foundation shifting, not sure if you're in a seismic area, etc.)
was wondering the same thing
I was also looking at how the frame is joined to the foundation. I didn’t see that detail in the video yet.
I think that the last pin is often more exciting than the first?
Haha! That might be true!
Is this a kit?? Where can I find it
Hi Jack - It is sort of a kit... I took a course at the North House Folk School in northern Minnesota and this was the result of the 9 days.
It just seems incongruous to use Aspenite with timber frame.
Ki nem állom, ezeket a futkosós videókat.
Interesting video, but the music killed it for me, I just could not take it anymore, the music of construction is all you need.
I'm genuinely curious why you would take the time to leave a comment like this?
