That's similar to how I'm going to build my cabin. Except I'm thinking of using 4x4 for mine. Mine will be much smaller than the one you built. I'm thinking of building a 16x24. I'll be building it by myself without any equipment. That's why I'm going with lighter post so that I can maybe handle them better. It will be a job to get it up by myself That's for sure ,but I will make some pulleys to help. I have trees around I can use to do it.
I'd probably coat the bottom of your vertical support posts with a generous amount of boiled linseed oil to where it gets between the posts and the concrete foundation to prevent rot when moisture gets up in there. It'll also help with checking in that area as well...Love what y'all are doin'
Richard, I did have one question about why you chose to use the propane torch on your post and beams. I’ve seen that done for the exterior of barns and structures. My understanding is that the bugs will avoid wood that’s been seared by a flame. So it seems it’s a natural preventative to do that. But on the inside of the structure, would that be as necessary as the board and batten on the outside? And aren’t there other clear products for preserving the wood? Just curious. Please know that I’m not trying to play Monday morning quarterback here. I’m the guy sitting on my couch watching you live the dream and do a lot of hard work. So I have a lot of respect for all that you’ve done and continue to do. Thx Bill
Richard, I’m really enjoying this series. I’m Planning to take a 5 day course at The shelter institute in Woolrich, Maine to learn the basics of joinery and assembly of post and beam structures. Then, I just have to buy some land near my brother’s place in the Berkshire Mountains of MA and I’ll be good to go. He has about 90 acres, mostly wooded and he’s got the same Kabota 3901 as you Richard. Now I’ve got a talk with him about making some modifications to his Kabota so that we can source the timber’s on this property. I sent him the tool video you did with the mounted chainsaw in the counterweight balance using the box grate. I have a question about the extension you built to raise the post of high in the air using your bucket. Is that 4 in.² steel that you used? How long are those two long pieces? They look to be about 12 feet in length. I haven’t watched I’ve only watched a few of your videos so far. I’m wondering if you made one where you described how you fabricated that metal extension for lifting timbers using your bucket? Thx again Richard!!!
Welcome. Check out some of the other build videos. I didn’t have time to finish them while my help was there. I continue to finish the burning before the roof goes on.
We call Mortis and tenon Tongue and grove I just wanted to ask when u cut the tongue in the end of the beams why u do not also save some timer and cut across the ends and take that one third out in one piece
They should go in at a slight angle if I figured correctly. And, I can always take a little off at an angle to get them in if need be. I would have had to have them all cut to put it together. I am by myself, and take advantage when my son can be here to help. I did good to have the post and beams ready when he came to do the job, lol. I figured I could add them later, lol. Hope so
I have my own standard. First, there is a wall going underneath the beams that will also be anchored that I didn’t have time to do because of help. It will also be anchored. I didn’t see any reason for seat cuts since everything will be supported by stick framed walls. So this is a mix of old and new aesthetics.
just catching up on your vids. im still behind but that’s going to be a beautiful cabin looking forward to watching the rest and catching up
Love it! Quite the craftsmanship!
Japanese saw, joinery, japanese architecture! Good job
Hi Javier,
Thank you for the nice compliment and welcome to the channel.
Great video thanks

Great job
Looking good can't wait until the next video!
They are on their way. Stay tuned. Thank your for all the support to the channel
Great work I’d be so proud. All the hard work shows thx
Thank you for the nice compliment
Awesome job. Its nice to see someone using popular for timber framing. The logs are very straight and the wood looks easy to chisel.
Thank you,
And they are easy to work with. Stay tuned...
Keep up the great work. Can't wait to see the next video
Thanks for the nice comments.

I’m actually going to jack up each post and place an aluminum plate, then do what your talking about. Thanks for the comment.
Looking forward to following along, you both have my attention ! Thanks for sharing with us.
Your welcome.
Awesome, I cant wait to see it in person!
Glad you like it.
It looks great. I can't wait to see the rest of the process. I have something like this in mind for my home away from home.
Thank you. Yes, stay tuned for much more. If we can help, hit us up on the website.
I’m here for moral support. It’s looking great! I’m unwinding while watching you hard at it. 😁
Need all the support I can get, lol.
Thank you so much for making this video I love watching your videos God bless you and your family Ameen
What country are you from and what language spoken? I can use google translate to make better communication.
Making progress my friend
Thanks. Glad you are enjoying watching the progress.

I do it to help protect the wood and I very much like the burnt look as opposed to natural.
now they starting to really like you now, but from the beginning, I could see that you are a handyman, good work up to now
Lo

2 in steel 10 ft long
Thx Richard
Спасибо за видео
love this playlist as i'm getting ready to build a timber frame garage, watching these videos help. What kind of lumber is that, Poplar?
It is poplar
i realize I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know a good site to stream newly released series online ?
@Tripp Douglas meh try flixportal. just google for it=) -arian
@Arian Toby Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service =) I really appreciate it!!
looks great!!! why burn it? for dehydration?
Seal it from moisture and bugs somewhat. They last longer.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
You guys do good work. What is the reason for burning some of the beams and not others?
Welcome. Check out some of the other build videos. I didn’t have time to finish them while my help was there. I continue to finish the burning before the roof goes on.
👍
We call Mortis and tenon Tongue and grove I just wanted to ask when u cut the tongue in the end of the beams why u do not also save some timer and cut across the ends and take that one third out in one piece
The horizontal cuts aren’t that easy for me, lol. And the “slick” makes it very easy.
Are the pegs hickory? If not, what wood are you using for the pegs? Thanks
Birch
How do you get the knee braces in? Lift the top plate a bit?
They should go in at a slight angle if I figured correctly. And, I can always take a little off at an angle to get them in if need be. I would have had to have them all cut to put it together. I am by myself, and take advantage when my son can be here to help. I did good to have the post and beams ready when he came to do the job, lol. I figured I could add them later, lol. Hope so
@@SmokyMountainOutpost Never going to happen due to the geometry. You will have to have a floating tenon on one end to install them now.
What is the reason for burning the wood?
To protect it
Merhaba...
Merhaba ve hoşgeldin. kanalı beğeneceğinizi umuyoruz ve bizi ziyaret ettiğiniz için mutluyuz.
How come you went thru all this work and didn't follow standard of the industry post and frame framing and anchoring details?
I have my own standard. First, there is a wall going underneath the beams that will also be anchored that I didn’t have time to do because of help. It will also be anchored. I didn’t see any reason for seat cuts since everything will be supported by stick framed walls. So this is a mix of old and new aesthetics.
Knee bracing comes later when I have time. Not important now since I have it temporarily braced.
please put air in your tractor tires.
