Chainsaw timber frame is how I do it as well lol. Are you adding panels (more capacity) for your house or something else. It appears to me you could land a 747 on it. I'd put a couple diagonals on the back side and a couple 2x6s from 6x6 to 6x6. I wouldn't bother plating unless you see something odd after you put the panels up. You deserve 1k. I found if I keep my videos less that 15 minutes and make a couple of videos instead of one long one my videos do much better. I try and get to 10 minutes if I can. I edit out everything that doesn't add value. If you check your analytics you'll see how long people watch. Let's say they stick around on average 7 minutes. Well there are missing 23 minutes of a 30 minutes video. If you break it up to 15 minutes you got them for two 7 minutes doubling your views watched. I also add a couple shorts a week. If those gain traction you kick butt on subs. Keep at it. I love you videos

@@BigelowWoodcraft Good morning Jerry, yes I’m doubling my solar capacity for the house. My goal is to be off grid or as close as I can get. I do think it’s as strong as any manufactured solar ground mount. The 2x6’s will definitely be quicker/easier. I was concerned about the screws in the end grain, but if you think it’s all good, that’s good enough for me. I’ve done some changes on the back end of the channel.
