There are two sets of people in this world, first group they have a massive amount of knowledge, but, they cant relay that knowledge to others in a understandable way. You then have the second group, they have the knowledge and they can relay every step of what they do and why and how they do things, you can listen to them all day long and learn so much. I have never met you in my life , but i can tell that you are the prime example of the second group, i could happily listen to what you say all day long and it would be an absolute pleasure. Great work as always, i really hope your channel takes off with big numbers because your content is superb, how you talk is great.
You certainly know your way when you drive those pegs in; wonder if you break one once in a while. This not an overkill project, just remember how our ancesters did theirs; they lasted for hundreds of years. This is a remarquable job you do.

I love your videos I am in the process of looking for a piece of land I can go off grid on it is tough to find with all the town, county and state restrictions on doing that
@@SmokyMountainOutpost I am from SC but am in Ga at the moment I lived in Tn for 20 years around Winchester area I am looking anywhere from Chatt. to NC line north not looking for a lot of land just enough to have a garden just for me
Spent the day today watching some of your videos great job and beautiful property, do you plan on posting the roof construction on the timberframe I'd love to see it!
Hi and welcome Matty, Yes, I will video the whole build. This is actually going to be a lifestyle, homestead, carpentry, DIY project, cooking, bushcraft and some day travel channel. We thank you for choosing us and hope you enjoy the content.
@@SmokyMountainOutpost I just built a cabin on my property way up in the Adirondack Mountains by the Canadian border look forward to sharing and learning!
OK I REMEMBER THIS VIDEO WITH THIS LITTLE GIRL IN IT YET I AM NOT SEEING MY PREVIOUS COMMENT SO I HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN LOVELY VIDEO AS ALWAYS SURE I WILL CATCH ON TH SOMETHING TO LEARN
Building a cabin is a great undertaking especially for a father and son in a life time of Happy memories. Question: would it be easier to put down some #2 gravel on the base of your cabin all the way and around and when just the skeleton structure is being stood up?.. even if the mini tractor is coming and going placing the framing in their proper places.. the gravel keep the mud base from becoming a puddle. Stay safe and Warm.. GOD BLESS
Not sure. The underside will also get a wall to lay rock to up to the floor level from the footer. A thick plastic barrier will lay down on the dirt under the cabin. Crawling on ones knees in a utility space such as this could be uncomfortable with rock. I plan on smoothing the dirt out once it gets dry more toward spring and before I enclose it with siding.
Yes it is fatwood. The wood portion with the red interior or the rosin accumulated within the wood grain is the fatwood. The sticky solid portion in a chunk that has no wood, but oozed out of the tree is called rosin. In liquid state it becomes resin.
@@SmokyMountainOutpost Every time I go to Perry Fl. I come back with a 5 gal bucket of fatwood all cut into 3 inch X 1/2 pieces the pine forests are grown to make turpentine and the wood all looks like it is crystallized from so much resin best I have ever found
Why are we not using Knee Braces in this Timber Frame construction project?? And shouldn't there be some protection from moisture beneath the wood posts??
I have addressed these questions in other videos. The bracing hasn’t been put in yet. I have some cut. I have to use help when it’s available. And, aluminum has been ordered for the post.
Are you depending on the tenon alone at the connection to take the load or is there a seat for the beam? If it is just the tenon then is not the beam's strength only worth the cross section of the tennon and not the beam.
No shoulder joint. Knee wall going in underneath the floor beam (rock wall) and stick frame between post. Don’t really see the need and the extra work. Thought about it but decided against it. Thanks for commenting. I do learn from the comments. After all, there is no way to know everything.

Many cultures have used wood burning as waterproofing and bug retardant for centuries. I decided to use it on this cabin build as well. It is not completed, so I haven't gotten to the point of a clear sealant yet. So, in essence my cabin will end up doubly protected. Others have used only the burn technique and find it adequate enough. I think it also looks better than a stain prior to treatment. You?
Многе културе су вековима користиле сагоревање дрвета као хидроизолацију и ретардант за грешке. Одлучио сам да је искористим и на овој кабини. Није завршен, тако да још нисам стигао до тачке чистог заптивача. Дакле, у суштини ће моја кабина завршити двоструко заштићена. Други су користили само технику опекотина и сматрају је довољно адекватном. Мислим да такође изгледа боље од мрље пре третмана. Ти?

Always enjoy watching father and son working together building a cabin
I love watching the sawdust blow out the other side when you are hammering dowels in

Que lindo con la niña, y hermosa vista al terminar el video.

Thank you for such a nice compliment. Actually, I never broke one thank goodness. You would have to drill it out and replace it.
Exciting it’s really coming along quickly now
Thank you. Yes it is nice to see it taking shape.

What is the general vicinity you live in and where are you looking without giving away your specific location?

Brave!!!!!go go go... Hy fan!!
"Rich Pine" is what we always called it. you can find old pine stumps in the woods that are dripping with resin. Makes the best kindling
I’ve called it that too

Love it ❤️
I noticed some of your beams were burnt and some were not. Is there a reason for this? I love the woodwork skills you have!
Lol, I ran out of fuel and am not finished.
@@SmokyMountainOutpost I was just wondering. Is it to preserve the wood?

Looking down the left side of timber frame from what I could see it's not straight,
Back frame is leaning out
I have heard other people refer to that Pine kindling your using to start the fire as "FatWood", enjoyed your video, good content ........

A good days work there Gents.
Thank you. We try to put in an honest days work, lol.
What size steel tube are you using on the Tractor bucket and how is it attached?
Hey Tracy ! I believe it is 1/4" steel tubing that is around 2" square
It was welded on by our neighbor
Did you buy or make your dowels?
Bought. I didn’t have time after hurrying to mill the timbers before my son came to help. I’m alone and the work is extensive, lol.

@@SmokyMountainOutpost I meant-waterproofing under the racks, they just stand on the concrete, the dampness can start to rot(((
My adventure with the tree began with projects from Woodglut.
What about knee braces?
Lol, no worries, they are coming. Weren’t needed to put it together before my help left to go home.
Why are some timbers painted black?
