I have a Hercules impact driver from HF, and it's a great tool as well. It has competed with Ridgid and Dewalt and outperformed both. The battery lasts longer, and it doesn't overheat. A fantastic tool for the money.

that is an impact, not a drill, but you call it

I climb trees and sometimes by myself I carry three ropes that let's me get three sections rope down by myself. I use winch , ropes, and pulleys to get them to mill. Hand roll up to 25 inches or more in diameter at 12 ft long up on mill. I'm in good shape and yes I buy a lot from harbor freight.

I learned a lot watching, especially what not to do🤣. Seriously bro credit to ye.

Thank you. I just bought a 72 inch shedder and the hydraulics lift it but it reacts slower than the 4 footer. I checked the hyd. Level and its milky then noticed the shifter boot are cracked. Where are you getting parts. I find some on Amazon. Thanks again. Country Corvette Guy.

Clean the Hydraulic filter while you are at it"

Mine wouldn’t work one day after firing it up. The rear arms were stuck at the top and wouldn’t move. I monkeyed with the control for a bit and all of a sudden it began to work. Some kids were here and moved the controls.

Followed. What size of screws did you use for your knee braces? 8" x ?

I have experienced the “milky” oil in my Massey 204. My first change didn’t get all the water out, and that all mineral 90w costs money. I drain it, put some in a high quality stainless bucket and put that on a hotplate. It’s set to slowly come up to just above 212F. Oil doesn’t mind seeing 215F, but all the water will leave. Maybe overnight, but when all bubbling and activity has ceased, and you see calm clean oil, let it cool and put it back into the tractor.

I'm gonna take some of your safety advice serious for me from now on. I noticed I'm too excited out there most of the time.

11:45 it looks like its happy

Hope you come back with an update and that all is well.

I’m building a house myself and can relate totally to you, thanks for putting this video out there, you have a fan.

I’d like to build this and convert it to a cabin on the lake. What do you think?

You have to re post this video with better sound!

That's how the pyramids were made!

Great video - thank you!

I have a 1956 Massey Ferguson TO-35. I appreciate the instruction on the oil change. Your instruction was clear and you made it easy to follow. Great job!

This is beyond embarrassing.

That trapeze group was a good movie

A great vid, and I really appreciate you showing the failures. This is a perfect illustration of why everyone doing this type of work should own a copy of the Ashley Book of Knots and spend some time familiarizing themselves with ropes and pulleys. While the use of a mast isn't bad, the devil's in the details and making sure everything is secured and operating like you want... well, that saves a ton of problems. We've lost a lot of knowledge over the generations, but the use of ropes and pulleys is still common enough that we can watch videos from the tradesmen who still use the on a daily basis and apply their techniques to our circumstances.

I like this guy

for what you do a Stihl more powerfull would have been better ..like a 3.5 hp one or so..i own this 440 and its slow for cutting down..benefit is that is light..thats it..2.6hp .

That first line cracked me up, perfect working weather for fat guys 😂 good stuff man

Thanks for the video. I spent all morning trying to life a heavy palm trunk that I go into a trash bin, laying on the ground. It failed. I am now going to try what I learned from your video.

Can I ask what fasteners you used and what drill you installed then with? Thanks have a similar project I gotta get to asap!

Lazy timber framing. Real timber frames incorporate mortise and tenon with hardwood dowels to fasten.

Wonderful video, super beneficial. Really terrific work. Thanks for creating and sharing.

I think its a helpful video. I wish you had made mention of fasteners length used and how far down the knee brace you placed fastener looks like 8" fastener and 6" down on brace.

For anyone who is interested. If you score the cut line on a 4 sides with a box cutter it should minimize the damage at the cut edge.

I built my first barn with trex brackets, I like but expensive my next 2 builds I did mortise and tenon way cheaper! . Pete is a great man he unfortunately passed away. Great build

I mean if you cut good angles, and put it all together, wood will kind of straighten itself out, right?

Don't they sell premade brackets for things like this?

Hey it’s been over a year now. Hope all well Huge fan right from the beginning.

Thank you very much for sharing all the info! The gin pole concept helped me solve the lifting the heavy beam problem while building a treehouse. I love how the old school traditional ways still hold true today! Thanks again for sharing this knowledge!!

Nice post framed timber frame.

How is that a post and beam? Where are the saddle notches? I could see calling a post frame

Demonstration would have helped.

I don't know the elevation or the incline of your property. But Oak Leah Hills came to mind.

im doing a giant swing on the edge

i.m looking for this❤

great

Completed a 12’ X 16’ post and beam for wife as a super she shed. Used reclaimed doors and windows. Used oak cut in east Texas which I hauled myself. Oak ceiling/roof, flooring. Pine shiplap for inside walls and tapered siding horizontally for exterior. Metal roof. Foundation on pads since I cant dig into the rock/ground. Turned out great. Figure about $15,000. Took eight months in the Texas heat. Single guy with tractor to help lift and it worked out more solid than my home. Used three of the jigs and about $1,000 for the aluminum fittings. Just found your posting. Super nice guy at Connext. His daughter is also super nice. There are other providers but this seemed the best option and the result was great.

I live outside of Chattanooga, would you mind sharing which business you used in TN ?

Why in the world would you put your hand on that bar when you finish those slot cuts???? The saw is plugged into the extension!! Do you really want to spend the next 25 years without the ability to pick your nose?? And don't even try saying " I'm wearing armourd gloves" or "I know what I'm doing and I'm careful " Your finger is still on the f'ing trigger!!!

Filter?

The downside about using that fuel one gallon cost thirty bucks.

Just found your channel do you have a sawmill, if not where did you get the beams? And are they green? I’ll be watching you 🧐

Are the plates from Connext Post and Beam?
