When someone says that they are a master in their craft, show them this guys skills. This my friends is a true blue (old school) master of woodworking/woodcraft.
The lady said she built it, but the video shows her sitting down watching her phone, and guys building the structure. My design, my, I, me..., in my dreams.
I framed dozens of houses in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Every one got a bough weather or not the owner asked. The carpenter must do this on the highest point to grant tribute to the nature that provides... life. That is what i was told.
"(...) with the world being what it is (...)" a smart man knows that four horses will soon be more useful than a pick-up without gas. I always thought Jimmy Diresta was a wise man. Dear friends from all over the world, I wish you strength and courage for the future, because winter is coming and I think it will be a long time. Cheers from Belgium.
Most people have never seen a post and beam construction. 30 years as a carpenter, i worked on only 2. How these past people did this with hand saw, horses and pully is amazing.
I'm glad it seems to work for you two, but that talking over each other would drive me insane! In fact I couldn't even watch the whole video, and I love timber frame construction. I guess I could have just turned the sound off. Oh well, so many more video's to watch.
Yeah... I could tel be the way he talked about architects that he's the real deal. lol.. I've dealt with them for years building stuff like this-- and it's a nightmare.
There's nothing like a barn raising in the Catskill region! Well done Taylor and Jimmy it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing so much about your design and thought that went into the building, the prep and the process for its final application, it means a lot more...
All the grandeur, elegance & presence of a great cathedral. Magnificent filming & commentary with an edge, focus & passion. Really lifted me way up high. Thank you for sharing!
Jimmy's Channel, Taylor's barn, design and all. I really appreciate how much legwork Taylor put into this project and really inspiring to see your "get after it" approach to problem solving. Hearing the way you are talking about the layout and the thought process involved is really neat. Brett is one of the pieces that you found to help you manifest your ideas. Great demonstration of leadership.
I've been watching woodworking videos on TH-cam for a long long time and I love it but this is one of the best (top 5), thanks Brett for the craftsmanship and Jimmy for sharing this video
The person who states what they want is the end user and they provide the "user requirements". That is not designing. Designing is what makes the structure viable; Brett designed and built the barn.
@ I don’t know much about the fine details of architecture, plumbing, or anything near what the kind of ground work and planning a project like this would take. But. I do know what it’s like to pour your heart and soul, your brain, sweat, and tears into an idea and dream that you believe in and seeing it come to life. I am a mechanic and an artist myself, for over 10 years, and this is wholly impressive and sensational work. Your content and art is incredible, and it’s clear you poured yourself into this barn and worked your tail off through the process. This kind of result and vision doesn’t come from just any average mind, this comes from a passionate artist and hard worker. Hats off to you and the whole crew, your barn is stunning!
I really like the thoughtful diligent Taylor was in her design and building process. One smart cookie. Second floor art studio, yeah! This is an amazing build. Bravo.
Nice job, Brett. So great to see how nicely a frame by an experienced builder goes together. Still on my bucket list to build a big workshop not dissimilar to this. We built a few small ones and that goes quite smoothly now, but the big stuff still amazes me. I know it works the same, but the more complicated it gets, the more you have to trust your measurements.
Looks very New World Dutch. Very fitting for the Hudson River Valley. Nice to see one going up instead of getting torn down and shipped to Texas. Enjoy the space.
Very beautiful barn Jimmy Diresta and Taylor. can't wait to see more videos on this great project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making God bless
I just ran across this video, and wow, like -like-like she says like maby a hundred times or more. I couldn't handle the narration . The lift thingy ?? It's called a stinger or boom stick depending on where you live. Please don't talk thru it. Thanks. Oh also, the build was beautiful and their construction was awesome to see.
Brett is a man after me own heart, old school. To hell with CNC and CGI whatever they are. just hands on carpentry, a sadly disappearing art.A breath of fresh air!
You may have designed a horse barn but this looks like a cathedral. Amazing build. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Cheers.
That is a beautiful horse barn! Thank you for including us in this project. I know that, especially in these times, that is a huge undertaking. I have been building a steel barn on my property for many years. As we all know, You have time when there is no money, and you have money when there is no time. I have finally been able to finish mine. It's no where as cool as yours but I will finally be able to live my dream. Thanks for letting us share.
I drove past on Saturday and was pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful new timber frame barn had suddenly appeared. Looks amazing and can't wait to see it all finished.
Enjoyed the video. Good to hear Taylor and your thoughts through the build process. The interview with the builder at the end was good too.Great to see an efficient grew working together.
Awesome to see they're wearing fall protection, too! Great job!! Often, too many say they aren't worried about falls, " they've done this so many times..." But safety considerations doesn't just protect the person up high, it also protects those below, the Contractor, the Owner and the property, itself. Full thumbs up !
Well I'm somewhat of a DIY'er and I've been building houses my entire life, my Dad was a house framer. I made a career change at 27 and started running a crane but continued to build houses on my off days. And I wanna say this video was awesome. Love the channel, loved the video, the timber framing was very entertaining to watch for me. Great job on the videoing and editing as well. I think this is my favorite video on your channel. Thanks for the content!
Taylor has some talent with design, for sure. The underpinnings of that barn alone would have taken a lot of time to research and construct. Clearly, Brett is following a blueprint and doing a masterful job of it, but it's all sitting on the shoulders of that slab and the designer. Well done.
If we do another timber frame structure at the Blackthorn, I hope Taylor joins us. I enjoyed the video and hearing the thought process behind the planning and design. I like when I can get insights into how other people think. Nice job!👍🐎
So stoked to see this coming together for Taylor! I can't get over the fact that I stood there looking at stacks of timbers & a slab last weekend and now there's a barn frame completely erected less than a week later. It's bananas! Can't wait to see how this finishes out. All the best, Andrew @BranchAndFoundry
Simply amazing work! I love the attention to detail in both the build and the videography. How in the hell over 200 people leave a down vote is beyond me.
It is always nice to see a timber frame go up. If you get a chance to visit, the Tannersville Arboretum has two timber framed buildings that use a lot of natural shapes and live edge or round timbers. I was the lead on the carriage barn, and was involved with the Visitor's Center as well.

Hello Jimmy, I looking for estimated for two home cabin. Do you have inf. Who duet this home cabin..
Where can I have Brett number or information. We would like to have a barn done.
How are the big posts connected to your foundation?

Absolutely insufferable

I like that they kept the tradition of a bough on the finished frame.
Great video!
I framed dozens of houses in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Every one got a bough weather or not the owner asked.
The carpenter must do this on the highest point to grant tribute to the nature that provides... life.
That is what i was told.

Brett was obviously very fortunate to have Taylor there to supervise and instruct.
Brett just wanted to tag along to this build to absorb her expertise.
Most people have never seen a post and beam construction. 30 years as a carpenter, i worked on only 2.
How these past people did this with hand saw, horses and pully is amazing.
Loved the video. I love how both of your prospectives come from different mindsets. However you guys talk over each other soooo much
I'm glad it seems to work for you two, but that talking over each other would drive me insane! In fact I couldn't even watch the whole video, and I love timber frame construction. I guess I could have just turned the sound off. Oh well, so many more video's to watch.
@@shoppe99 I had to mute the video, until the last few minutes when Jimmy was talking to Brett. Great build though!
Been married much..? If one partner remains silent and submissive for too long... you discover the joys of divorce.
I've been in construction my whole life I'm 63 and I'm really impressed this is a master carpenter I can't tell you how much I respect this work
This crew could easily restore Notre Dame in no time 😉
That looks awesome, Please tell Taylor she did a great job on design. The builder is an absolute artist.
Brett seems like a true craftsman. Legend.
Yeah... I could tel be the way he talked about architects that he's the real deal. lol.. I've dealt with them for years building stuff like this-- and it's a nightmare.
I'd enroll into his workshop in a heartbeat!
The difference between someone that knows what they are doing and someone that thinks they know what they are doing is pretty obvious in this video.
There is not much allowance for screwing up when setting thousand pound timbers.
Would love to work with Brett for a year
You’re the man Carl! Love your videos👍
Someone make this happen!
I hope you come to work hard. lol... I did this stuff for over a decade, and those boards never get any lighter.
I would love to work for you and your father for a year Carl!
So THIS is where you learned it all, eh?
There's nothing like a barn raising in the Catskill region! Well done Taylor and Jimmy it's beautiful! Thank you for sharing so much about your design and thought that went into the building, the prep and the process for its final application, it means a lot more...

What I wouldn't give to work with this guy for 5 years. Old school skills and craftsman like him are a dying breed.
I absolutely loved this! Please keep us updated with progress on this thing!

This building will last for over 100 years. Excellent videos letting us see this incredible building's progress. Thank you.
The way that's built, it looks good for at least 100 years!
The best Horse Hotel in the World........Great work 👍👍👍
Great design, footage and commentary, looking forward to seeing the build progress!
I'm alone, and I'm watching this! Congrats on the build!

“They built a barn for us.”
What an inspiration. Such a great example of a person who spends everyday, absolutely loving what he does for a living. Class.
Looks very New World Dutch. Very fitting for the Hudson River Valley. Nice to see one going up instead of getting torn down and shipped to Texas. Enjoy the space.
Freaking incredible, and certainly under appreciated what this guy does!
Very beautiful barn Jimmy Diresta and Taylor. can't wait to see more videos on this great project. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Keep making God bless
Awesome video so Glad to have helped with your project it was a pleasure.
Always a big fan of Jimmy and Taylor voiceover and then you throw in the Timber Frame and it’s just awesome.
Some gorgeous joinery...Cheers!
Excellent video. Thank you: Mrs. Diresta thank you.
Timber frames are the best. They look so cool, takes a true craftsman to get it right.
27:06 - I love that hammer. It's so cartoonesque - never thought I would see anything like that in use.

There is nothing you two can't do. Even if you have help doing it. A horse barn is so cool!
Brett is a man after me own heart, old school. To hell with CNC and CGI whatever they are. just hands on carpentry, a sadly disappearing art.A breath of fresh air!
Damn that's a sexy building. Taylor's design is excellent and this guy's execution is nothing short of miraculous!
You may have designed a horse barn but this looks like a cathedral. Amazing build. Thanks for sharing this insightful video. Wishing you and your family a blessed week. Cheers.
It had me off looking at medieval cathedrals, center hall with their flying buttresses. Notre Dame!

Love watching craftsmen who excell at their trade. Much like Jimmy DiResta.
The bones of the structure (the frame) are beautiful, strong and will be there for a long time, love seeing this type of construction.

@@epiphgd4302 yep, night vision goggles, hiding in bushes, the whole shebang! 😳
I also live down the road from Jimmy. 😂
Who new Jimmy could make a podcast without saying a podcast keep it up 🥰
Framers are about the coolest of the trades and timber framers are the coolest of the cool
I need a Jimmy and Taylor podcast in my life
WOW! Very, Very Nice. Excellent job.
Valeu Diresta!🇧🇷
That barn will be there for 300 years easy. Great work.
I am in awe of this incredible barn. I did not know people are still doing this sort of construction. Bravo and lucky hose.
Master Jimmy DiResta. Thank You!
Very Amazing Jimmy, Thanks for sharing.
This woman sounds AMAZING!!!
This is the coolest timber framing video I've ever seen. (Tis true. It is good, and I did watch this alone.)
Thanks for sharing this Master craftsman story. What an impressive master of his craft.
❤ I too know that the scarf is a good part of your frame
We've been watching barnwood builders (13 seasons) they save old cabins and barns(timber frames) very cool build
Very cool so glad you got all this footage and really enjoyed hearing you and Taylor talk about the whole process.
Congratulations on your work, greetings from Brazil. Diresta fan!!!
Sir Brent I want to meet you someday, congratulations on this project, awesomely done ✅ good job guys, perfectly done👍🤗

just reading the title, not sure what to expect: barn building like in "witness", or "Kingpin" (secretly fingers crossing for Kingpin)
I just work on a log home build kit in white pine, doing some volontary work , I am a carpenter by trade and was amazing next step doing timberframing
It's such a pleasure watching someone with a lot of skill put that skill to use!
You know what made this video amazing. No volume
I love that type of construction! Nice to hear Taylor with you! 🤗
great video, you made laugh because listening to you two sounds like a Woody Allen movie, I really enjoyed that about the video, thanks!
No words just AWE !!!!!

I started watching this last night as I just returned Saturday night from a timber framing class that I had to drive through NY. Shelter Institute
What a fountain of knowledge. I surely hope he's found the correct "pool" in which to spill that knowledge. That is an awesome barn.
You designed it. he built it Give the builder his due credit
More like she found a picture on pintrest.
Wow this Barn is incredible brings back memories of visiting my Grandparents Farm and playing in the Hay Barn.
Marvelous structure! Well done, ALL! Great video! Thank you.
Just wow, thanks for sharing
Im like 2min in and i thought „ohhhhh so that’s the only horse toilets around!“ 😂 shoutout to Bob for that, love it
Been a Ted Benson fan for years, so, this was a wonderful way to end my day!👍👍
If we do another timber frame structure at the Blackthorn, I hope Taylor joins us. I enjoyed the video and hearing the thought process behind the planning and design. I like when I can get insights into how other people think. Nice job!👍🐎
That was really entertaining. As the girl said, I'd watch that if I was alone.
That was awesome, thanks for sharing, keep us updated.
Great job Taylor! Wonderful design. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the finished product!👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful design and what impeccable workmanship!!! Good Luck Jimmy & Taylor!
This IS the best timber frame assembly video.
Plumb is the word you were looking for :)

Always loved timber frames. This will be a beautiful building. Lucky horses. 😊
