Nathan I believe your assumption of the timber structure is correct. It was a tobacco barn. I say that because in SSE Va and NC there are a lot of similar barns. Hope that helps. And Merry Christmas y'all 💕 😎
thanks Peter, appreciate it,
I agree, the barnwood builders out of West Virginia have taken down several old tobacco barns with a similar layout.
Usually NC and VA tobacco is Flue Cured which means individual leaves are harvested and heated in a bulk barn. Tenn. was usually GreenRiver, Dark Fired or Burley in which case 4 ft sticks were used to go through the stalk and hung to either air cure or fired with Coke. If it has tier rails it was used for tobacco.
Very cool. We have similar ones in Texas but they are usually much smaller and I've been told they were corn cribs. Lots of folks from N Carolina and Tennessee migrated to Texas after the war. I've seen a few repurposed for hay (square bales).
I used to run a LT300 for a company back in the day. Before that I ran several of the portable mills that Wood-Mizer makes. I love watching ur channel because it reminds me of how much I miss sawing. I focused alot on grade sawing, and it was like puzzle solving. Getting the very best lumber possible out of every log. I really miss it.
thanks for watching Curtis,
I see 100k subs as of 8:39pm EST on December 15th, 2020. Congratulations! That log room just might have been the very first structure ever built on that farm by the people who settled and first cleared it. People can live under canvas for a while clearing land but in building up and working that land they needed shelter to store all sorts of things and work sheltered.
Yep, watching at 7:40 CST and it shows100k. Congrats!
As was mentioned earlier, the Barn Wood Builders is a great show for you to watch to give you the history of the bent in the middle. Those guys know their stuff!
Congrats on hitting 100k my friend! That is an awesome way to bring in the new year!
Thanks for the info!
whole cobb corn storage for drying. Love the barn.
That structure reminds me of an old log corn crib my Dad showed me on an old farm back in the mid 1960's that he remembered being used in the 1920's. That was in East Texas and construction may of been different because I never heard of tobacco being raised in that part of the country. Congratulations on hitting 100K, still a great channel I really enjoy.
Super. 100k soon, any day now. Good time to do the barn project in colder weather with less insects and snakes.
yes sir, appreciate it,
@@OutoftheWoods0623 FANTASTIC. Congratulations. It says 100k subscribers. Early Christmas.
Yes Sir, the Drag Back "Wind Chimes" are absolutely working WONDERFUL as ever and sure do save a ton of time causing you to reach all over the place grabbing lumber slabs as they push back, not to mention your joints in your back and muscles are thanking you every single time they push back that lumber..!!! Jeremiah Johnson absolutely another CLASSIC, that is in my collection, seen it so many times I am embarrassed to admit.. SO EXCITING to watch this number hit 100K Subscribers... I check every day multiple times each day..!!!
Hi Nathan, Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. Last time I bought a piece of 2 x4 at the local lumber yard I had to go through the whole lot to pick out the best one. Needed one for a new door frame.
All the Best from Scotland. Wishing you and your family a happy Christmas and a good New Year.
I heard your regular back ground music in a wooden ship restoration video... I smiled...
nice,
It's a log pen. Original barns were made like log cabins except they were square with a door opening at ground level and another smaller toward the roof of the pen. They could use it like a barn to keep hogs in or store corn. Usually the pen was used as the center structure with 4 sheds added when sawn lumber was available.
You took the words right out of my mouth.
@@hotrodhog2170 could off been for farms horse or mule maybe keep a milk cow
Hog pen was my first thought too.
Right. I saw something like this on one of the Roy Underhill Woodwright's Shop episodes. That's what he said too.
I agree, I also think it was kept there and the board barn built over it and modified. Too good to get rid of it. Has many uses as markets and laws change (tobacco laws).
Both of my grandfathers barns were log . They were for the mules and stalls for milking cows. I climbed all over those barns as a young kid.
thanks for the feedback,
Looks like you hit your marks. Congratulations, you’ve been an inspiration to many of us. Well deserved.
I too was going to suggest a drying barn - tobacco or what have you. Most of the drying barns I’ve seen online though were taller and had racks but there’s always smaller operations out there too! Congratulations on 100K Nathan. That’s HUGE testament to the work you’ve put into Out of the Woods. More than we’ll ever know 💪🏼👍🏼👊🏼
thanks appreciate you Hugh, means alot,
Nathan, The original homestead is where the stacked logs are within the barn. Here in southern Indiana, we have several barns that started out as log cabins until another house was constructed as the family grew. Instead of tearing the barn down they may have used it as a manger etc... They may have knocked the chinking out if they stored corn or other grain in there needing a good air flow.
Mike Morgan at Outdoors with the Morgan's sent me over. So glad he did. Great vlog. Congratulations.....I am already a fan.....
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Came over from Arms Family Homestead. Love watching saw mill seeing the beauty which emerges when milled.
I have seen many old barns like that in the mountains of North Carolina. Some of the barns had the log structure for livestock and built around it at later dates. I actually turned one of them into a home and the stalls on the ground floor were made into bedrooms.
My great grandfather used to cure tobacco in barns exactly Iike the center section. We still have two of them in use as hay storage. My dad disassembled and moved them when I was a kid. Originally they had hand hewn wood shingles. We replaced those with metal about 10 years ago.
Just short of 30 years ago, in Brandywine WV there was a 70X40 hardwood barn with a storm damaged roof that had sheltered two 2 story log cabins inside, never chinked. One was used for feed and tack storage, and one for sheltering occasional livestock. Logs were
hand hewn chestnut and oak dated 1840's in great unweathered condition. I bought one 10X14 cabin for $7500, had it moved to my Blue Ridge Mt home in Virginia, and renotched to a 12X16 1 and 1/2 story cabin addition, then I hand chinked the walls. Had a stone mason build a Rumford fireplace with raised hearth- that open fireplace blew out massive heat into the room with it's slanted back wall, also hung a cantilevered cooking pot for when the power might go in a winter storm. My 8 yr old son accessed his upstairs bedroom loft with a repurposed circular staircase. Had a local smith hand wrought some custom window and door hardware- very sweet spot. That cabin structure you have there would make a nice room addition to a classic farmhouse, and would add greater value and charm than the value in board feet. Well, so much for reminiscing, back to my walk along 26" mill and a timberframe fire wood shed waiting to be finished. Love your mill set up!
New to your channel. Woodworkers like to watch all this fresh wood and speak to the computer and say "hey load that wood up and send it to me". We all would love to get some of the wood you have sliced up. Free of course - that is the rest of the dream.
Nathan, before my retirement I hauled bales of tobacco from central Kentucky over to Winston-Salem or Tobaccoville,NC. There is several of them old barns with hewed logs in both areas. I believe they were used for all kinds of farm work, from hanging tobacco to farm animal shelter. Usually hanging tobacco would be taller than normal.
Nathan, I was just watching Sawing with Sandy. He was in Canada, and they cut mostly hardwood slabs. But they use a huge blue Wood Mizer. I thought you might be interested.
I’ve seen open log structures built and used for corn crib to store and dry whole ear corn. Used to help an old farmer pick ear corn and unload into a log corn crib like that.
The refresher was great, especially since it was for newbies!---I enjoyed seeing that odd knot cluster!---I watch a lot of the Barnwood Builders shows when they come on, but I wouldn't be able to tell you what they'd say about your neighbors barn. When our old barn had to come down on the farmstead back in the 70's (d/t age and weather damage) it was like someone had died. We all us women folk got all choked up and had to hide our tears.
Nathan, I saw a barn somewhat similar to that old barn back in the late 1960s or early 1970s on a back road in Southern Wisconsin. In front of it was hanging tobacco didn't get inside, but it appeared to be over 100 years old. Never found the road after that one time. I live driving on back roads.
I got here @ 99.9k and it rolled over to 100k while I was watching the video! Congratulations, Nathan!
Tobacco hanging is my guess as well. And, building something with actual 2"x4" lumber would be a dream. Many years ago we salvaged an old 2 story farm house and we got over 50, 18', 2x4s out of its balloon construction. Fantastic lumber.
Daniel sent me glad he did. Never saw a sawmill work before. You mentioned your video quality, very impressive. Keep up the good work. I’ll be back.
Nice looking machine. I've seen barns similar to it on Barnwood builders, Mark Bowe & his team, deal with some really old barns 200-300 years old.
I have watched a few of your videos, but after watching Outdoors With The Morgan's and Arms Family Homestead today, I was convinced to come over and sub to your channel. I see you have more than out did your expectations by not only hitting 100,000 by the first of the year, but way before Christmas. Cant wait to see what kind of lumber comes out of that old barn.
Welcome aboard!
Daniel at Arms Family sent me here to catch your story, I'm in Maine and we use a lot of wood here with 6-7 months of snow on the ground.
I'm proud to be one of the 100,000 Nathan! The early log barns I've seen here in Pa and in Kentucky were roofed for livestock or used for drying tobacco or even corn. In the early day just being under roof was good even if drafty. That's what ive found over the years. Thanks Kindly and that good sounding sausage made me hungry! Blessings to All and lots of great wood in that old barn! DaveyJO in Pa.
I have family living in middle Tennessee (Big Town of Holladay population 2215 as of 2020). My uncle's farm had a barn like you are taking down, it is/was a hog barn. He stored corn and hay for bedding. Had to keep the hogs happy!
Excellent Movie!
Thanks buddy
That old structure looks like the corn cribs in the old barn on our farm. There are two of then and they both have a couple of inches of cotton seed that was used to feed the cattle during the winter.
Great mill ! You were recommended by Mike Morgan and it’s a great choice
Congrats! S@me here MMorgan recommended
Congratulations on reaching your target, Nathan! I'm so pleased for you, the success is well-deserved. 😃😸😃
Congrats on 100k from north Fl
Nathan the original part of that barn looks like a corn crib to me ... back in the day when corn was ready it would be picked in the husk and stored in corn cribs and the gaps in the timbers allowed airflow to dry the corn so it didn't rot ... love your videos keep on keep'n on ...
Your videos are the best... and I watched a bunch of them! If I lived close by you would have a volunteer helper with you there! Thanks for sharing!
Sent over by Daniel @arms family. Enjoying this. Helping you make your goal! :-)
Congratulations on the 100k milestone. I’ve been with you for a couple years and have learned a lot that I use at my LT40 mill.
Nathan, I believe that old original barn is an old tobacco barn. The open air construction is a giveaway. Lots of those old barns in south GA. where a lot of tobacco is still grown.
Here in New England they would start with a small cabin to live in while they cleared the land. Then they'd add a barn. The oldest house I've been in and one of the oldest houses in New England, was owned by my friends who moved it when the city of Salem, MA was going to tear it down. They move it to Ipswich, MA and used as a summer home. It was built around 1670.
Always something cool or informative. My wife loves the beautiful intro footage you film with the drone.
Thanks 👍
I see the 100K subs- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
😎😎😎😎👍👍👍👍👍👍
Arms Family Homestead sent me over. ❤️ watching wood projects/building/milling. Good stuff!
Hi and good day😀
Daniel from Arms Family Homestead sent me over saying what a great content creator you are . Like he said, no one ever knows where we can go thru TH-cam.
I am very happy to meet you and am looking forward to seeing you soon 😎
I think your saw mill is awesome. I never saw one that loads and turns the logs before .I watch many people. struggle to turn them. Thank you. As Houston would say, It's so satisfying.
Congrats, Nathan! Looks like you've officially reached the Silver Creator level - 100K subscribers. Got some good friends like Mike Morgan out there giving really positive referrals as well. Nice community.
I believe the center of the barn you show for demolition to be a corn crib
agreed
Congratulations on 100,000 Nathan. Keep it up mate. Interesting content from a viewer on the other side of the world, namely Tasmania. A state of Australia but a seperate island under the continent. Heavily wooded with mainly hardwoods (Eauculiptus mainly) but with many unique species, one Huon pine is the oldest living tree on the planet. Cheers from Glenn
Glad to hear you will make
the 100k subscriber mark. You are doing a great job with your channel. I dont think you are talking too much either. Carry on. Thanks a ton. Lets run the mill.
You are an excellent example of the real lover of the career😎all respect for you and hope the best always for you 😎✌

It was a corn crib for storing corn still on the cob. The gaps allowed air flow.
DANIEL of Arms Family Homestead. Sent me over. He is one of my favorite channels.
I just told my wife... Nathan posted a new video today I’m gonna go watch it. She said “ohhhh”. She may not understand it, but she definitely gets it.
This channel is as good as it gets. A good person sharing his knowledge and passion. A very talented man. Hand tools, timber framing, gardening, sawing, drones, tractors, and cats! And that’s not all.
99.9k! You got this! Great work Nathan. I sure have enjoyed following you on the journey.
My money says it was built to dry tobacco.
-Ben
Thanks buddy appreciate you
Arms Family said we should come and watch. I love the smell of cut wood.
Do you set the Wood-Mizer up to center the pith inside a 2x4? Does the machine detect the thickness and type of blade you're using, or is that something you have to program?
Use a telehandler with forks to pick that tin and purlins off the roof with less worry if you want to be surgical. Proud of my fellow Tennessean!
102K+ subscriber 4.1K+👍's up thanks again for taking the time for us all to be with you
Nice true 2x4 boards we had them in our 1924 farm house 🏡 it took a lot to drive a nail in them not like the cheap wood we get now days. Congratulations on 100K subscriber's
Arm’s Family sent us to your channel, lots of great information. Glad to help you grow your channel.
Thanks for coming
Congratulations on the 100 thousand subscribers, and all the best to you and your family for Christmas and the New Year..
the barn is built just like one my grand father had on his farm,,,, the log work was very old, and the other part of the barn was added over the years,
the roof had blown off several times and most of the newer wood has been replaced but the logs are still there and must be will over 140 or more,,, the land was bought by my great great great great great great grandfather in around 1800.
I wonder if the logs in the inner barn are Chestnut. I lived in Clinch Valley outside of Rogersville for for a while and all the log cabins with good joinery that I worked on were Chestnut. Great score whatever it is. Congratulations on 100K. Well deserved!
You've hit the 100K subscriber mark. Congratulations on achieving this milestone!
Thanks! 😃
From what I found out in the 1800s that is a log cabin. They use moss are something soft like mud are clay to fill in the gaps. If you get to reclaim the beam it's a good thing you got your new blads. There going to be we'll season and probably very hard.
Hope that helps.
I saw a barn like this on a show called Barn Wood Builders. They would take down old barns and cabins and refurbish the logs for new log structures. Anyway the log structure inside that barn had been used as a corn crib.
Thanks for pointing out a few more things about the saw, chimes, bark cutter etc. Always appreciate watching and glad you hit your goal or 100K.
Looks like at one time it was a Cantilever barn nineteenth-century vernacular farm
structures found principally in two East Tennessee counties, Sevier and
Blount. Their characteristic feature is an overhang, or …Overhang sometimes...Thanks my friend...!
That barn is a corn crib used to dry corn for animal feed. The gaps on the side would allow air in to dry shucked corn still on the cob. When it was full you could see the ears of corn through the gaps. Our family from Kentucky used one for hog feed.
agreed
Keep up the great videos! You are the most informative sawyer out there. I've learned so much and appreciate all the knowledge you've share with us!
that looks like the old tobacco barn that was on my property in SC
Ive only ever seen a barn linke that once in my life, I was around 12 and it was on an Amish farm. I have no clue what the original purpose was but the Amish gentleman who owned it used the center structure as a woodworking shop, he added a wood burning stove to provide heat and I remember him telling my great grandfather that he liked that inside the center structure there was less wind than in the rest of the barn. And congrats on 101k
99,000?!! Well done Nathan!! That's quite a jump from when I first discovered your channel.
Big congratulations!!!
I really liked seeing the old barn and the structure inside. I hope you hit 100,000 subscribers before the end of the year.
Done ✅✅✅
@@OutoftheWoods0623 Congratulations on reaching 100,000 subscribers. That is great news 👍👏🥳
I'm happy y'all are doin well Nathan. It's nice to see proper dimensions on the 2 by 4. Have a beautiful week. Tell Bruno I said howdy.
Sent from Daniel at Arms Family Homestead. Love to watch your videos!
Nice video. Congrats on 100,000 subscribers, you certainly deserve it. Great content. Thanks for sharing and have a great day. 🇺🇸
Awesome content....Daniel sent me from Arms Family Homestead...glad he did...!!!
So happy for your number of subscribers. You must be selling lots of lumber but rarely see it “go out the door”.
100,000 you deserve it buddy! Great channel Nathan. Mike Morgan just gave you a call out on getting close to 100,000.
Very nice log on the mill in this video! More than likely the barn was used to hang tobacco leaf in. When growing up in Indiana we used to travel to Tennessee and saw many tobacco farms with barns very similar to the one on your neighbors property. You should check with Mark Bowe from Barnwood builders - he's in Virginia and takes down and rebuilds from barns just like the one in this video. Stay safe.
Congrats Nathan. Say hello to Daniel And Feddie. Great job!
Saw your channel for the first time today because Daniel from Arms Family Homestead suggested it. Congrats on reaching 100 subscribers.
It looks like you jumped up that last 1,000 suscribers in just a day, as you were at 98,800 yesterday evening. Congratulations on reaching 100,000! :)
Mike Morgan said to come over, but I was ahead of the game and have been watching your channel for a couple of years already. :)
I bought a farm with an old 60,000 sq ft commercial dairy barn built in the early 1940’s and had not been painted or maintained in 30 years. Previous tenants have stripped out support beams and left plumbing pipes to hold up the 2000 ton structure. I was determined not to lose it since the outer walls were rotting out from underneath so I milled a series of posts and beams and put 60 100,000 lb jacks under the structure to push it back into square. It’s taken 5 years so far and I’ve almost got it back square so next I pull out 40’ sections of outer walls and rebuild them using dimensional milled lumber and 12”x12” beams like the original. Next I need to mill 4-60” 16” x 24” beams to run the length of the main milking barn and 4-40’ beams for the rear section of the barn. 120’ long by 70’ wide and 3 stories tall. I’m nowhere near finished but I refuse to lose it.
Tobacco barn is what I got from looking at it at first as well can't wait for the update
Excellent video and editing. As always, I learned something. Congratulations on approaching 100k, there is a reason for that! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Thanks buddy
AMEN... Merry Christmas to Nathan and his family and you can just hear the excitement in his voice during these December videos, I bet he is not sleeping 4 or 5 hours a night..!
Congratulation. Today in UK is Thursday 16th Dec and you've achieved 100K. Looking forward to 200K. Good Luck.
I just wanted to say watching you and Mike Morgan it's been very interesting. It makes me want to go out and try to find a saw mill to mill my own lumber for woodworking projects. You two are awesome to watch and very informative at what you two do. I love watching both of your videos.
Congratulations on hitting 100,000 Nathan
Nathan, I'm down in Greene Co., TN and when I was younger it was not uncommon to see these barns. I've seen quite a few of them. I think I could still find a few in the area where I have a farm and a Woodmizer LT-40 HD. We understood from the older folks that the log part was an original barn before sawmills were plentiful and it was difficult to build large barns. So folks who had these ended up building a larger pole barn or similar around the old barn to use for calves or farm animals that needed to be separated or penned up. Sometimes even chickens. I've even seen them modified as a corn crib. So essentially I believe it's just a case of wanting a larger barn but not wanting to destroy the old log barn. We had one on my grandparent's farm that had a log barn attached to a more common board sided barn. These adjoined barns were used for both livestock and hanging Burley tobacco for air drying prior to taking it to market.
Incidentally, I've got a few mature Hemlock trees I've been considering taking down and wonder if you might want to do some trading on them?
email me outofthewoodsforestry@gmail.com
My uncle had a mule barn made a lot like that. The open air stalls he used for weening calves.
Seems like he had a smaller weening pen attached to that end of his barn.
Congratulations on hitting the mark.
My guess is that the inner structure was built first, likely as hay storage. Gaps between the logs provides good ventilation, but are close enough to keep cattle, horses and wild herbivores out of the stored hay. As the homestead and local community developed and sawed lumber became available, the larger structure was either erected around the original; or perhaps, the log structure was disassembled from another site on the homestead and reconstructed and repurposed within the newer barn to serve, as others have noted, for a hog pen, corn crib, tobacco drying and etc.
My grandfather built one on this farm in early 1900 an we just took it down two years ago. It is a pretty common thing here in Tennessee. I'm not sure but think there is still one standing about three miles from my house
Really enjoyed this video Daniel Arms from Arms Family Homestead recommended your channel and glad he did really enjoy this content and you hit 100k!!!!!!!! 👍🏽
