Evergreen Timber Frame

- This is a timber frame house I built last year to experiment with "what does it mean to have a home?" It's an exploration of green home design, environmental theology, and good old-fashioned woodworking.
I'm also working on a book on the Christian doctrine of the incarnation and modern humanity's relationship to the material world. I'm interested in what it means to "abide" with Jesus in John's gospel, and why first the tabernacle and then Jesus himself are the "home" or "dwelling place of God." Early Christianity took shape around arguments with various Gnostic groups about the goodness of ordinary bodies and ordinary material things. Also I think we humans are slowly killing ourselves under mountains of plastic crap we store in heaps around ourselves. So this project was a fun way to look at the intersections of all those issues.
Let me know what you think! And sorry my filming and film editing stink.
Super inspirational
Just watched your build on TH-cam. Amazing craftsmanship indeed. When I was a younger man I worked for a Timber Frame company in Cambridge NY building Timber frame homes. It was soul satisfying work.
Awesome job brother, thank you
Nice work.
Golden hands and a bright head!
Thank you. Glad to see.
Wow! Beautiful and awesome craftsmanship. Way to go! Thank you for sharing.

Derek, this is Amazing! Congrats and Good Luck!
Good job beautiful build👍
Outstanding
a great job ,spotless,bang on mate !
Looks great Brother🕊
I need practice but in two years or i want to make something like this . Hello from Galicia.
Follow up video still coming? I'd love to see more details of the construction process. I really appreciate that you constructed a traditional timber frame sill. So many timber framers are using conventional foundations nowadays, like wooden I-beams or concrete slab. Thanks for a great video!
Wow.
That’s amazing! I want one too
Good job man! This is true craftsmanship.
Well done!
Well done man. Looks so good! You are a gifted woodworker.
This is amazing!!!
Really nice work, bro.

You are a pretty handy preacher! Nice job.
Nice job!!
Let me know when your book is ready. I'm very impressed with your skills and work ethic. Inspiring
Inspiring
congrats!!
Really amazing. Great job. Looking forward to the book. E.O. Wilson wrote a good one you may like called "The Creation".
I enjoyed your video very much and look forward to the next one. I’m currently building a timber frame treehouse with timbers cut on my sawmill. I just subscribed and blessings to you and your family.
Many thanks!
Wawww..nice brother.
Thanks for sharing. How in the world do you have time to accomplish all this?
Beautiful home, and love the intent. Our first look at God is as a creator and we are made in his image. We were made/ designed to create. Please upload more content, and God bless!
Hi , very beautiful job, congrats. Just one question , how did you attache posts to plywood floor ? can you share the details ?
Hi Tom, wish I'd still be w Barr-Nunn !
I really like your basic building concept; small and simple, yet artful. I am planning a similar build in the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. Also wanting cabin furnishings to be made, albeit mostly by my way-talented nephew. Considering self-milled timbers from the wooded lot, timber frame kits, and converted new post and beam barn kits. What are the basic plan dimensions; looks like maybe 16'x24'? Looking forward to your more complete build video, more of your musings, and good luck with your book.
Yes, 16 x 24 and I found the plans I bought at TimberFrameHQ to be very helpful, though I did modify them somewhat. Good luck!
@@kellyanddereknelson716 Did you get permits for it? And if so did the county/city have any issues since it’s not stick frame?
Well done. If you can do that for $25,000 I'm impressed. Thank you for the inspiration.
May I ask about the size of your beautiful evergreen home😊
This is truly inspiring. I have been studying building science and sustainable living for many hours / months / years. Looking to free ourselves from a mortgage and unsustainable bills which will allow is to serve others more freely. We are hoping to break ground on a small timber frame home (20 x 36) in the next handful of months. Where did you source the frame? Thanks so much for documenting the build. Wishing you and yours much success in advancing the kingdom.
he said in a reply upabove that he sourced the plans from TimberFrameHQ. hope you got your Timber Frame built; i'm breaking ground this spring.
👌👌👍
How do you attach the frame to the sill?
Hi Derek! I was checking those plans in timberframeHQ and noticed, that there is not sill in the pictures, so did you figured out on yourself or there is in actual plans included? Have a nice day!
Niiice. Tubes not below grade? I like that, but what about heaving? Thanks!
that wouldn't work up here in upper Maine
Looks great congrats!!!
Just one thing I hope that you made good use of the old maple tree 🌳 and didn't just burn it !!!
Eaven if he burned it that's how he heats so he made good use of it
@@billhatcher2984 I did cut it up for firewood and it will heat both buildings for almost one year.
How long did that take?
You put your floor insulation upside down. Paper goes to the living space, everyone does it backwards though, I doubt it causes any problems, I did the same thing lol. The house is beautiful by the way, it’s perfect
There's no paper on that insulation. None is needed in this context.
Can you recommend me a book for timber frame house
Where did you get timbers from
Dam
Update?
What is the footprint of the cabin?
Thanks
Do you have a place I can buy the plans? Wanting to build something like this with white oak
Jack Sobon's Learn To Timber Frame (book). It has all the necessary information you need to build a 12' X 16', but you can make your own dimensional building. I used this same book to build a 14' X 18' cabin. Hope that helps?
Yes that Sobon book is very helpful. The plans I used came from TimberFrameHQ and were well worth the few bucks they cost. White oak was Way heavy to do myself with no equipment to move them and also by myself. That's why my above-floor timbers were poplar. Good luck!
What's the dimentions ?
Nice job..... now go write that paper
Made it 32 seconds. What do I win?
Why are you windows so small with a timber frame?!?!?!??!?!
My dream home. Why the name evergreen?
My wife's idea - she's from the PNW, loves (and misses) evergreen trees here in the midwest, and, well, it's green...
chairs are hard chairs take for ever that was funny i dont care what color you are
Am I right , you said your a professor not in carpentry though , some of the components you got the names wrong or perhaps like a lot of traditional names they have been changed in America, although some of your work is nice you have put somethings together wrong .
Hey, my name is Lee. I live outside of Portland. I have access to a mill and kiln and a lot of good logs. I’m interested in starting up a timber frame company and working with people interested in ethical/sustainable building practices. Please contact me if your still doing this.
