[@budcushman4408]

As a Shelter Institute post and beam course graduate and a client of another timber framing firm, I can attest to the superior craftsmanship of the Shelter crew. While I love my frame, I can see so many things that Shelter does differently/better. Wedged dovetail tenons! Although I'll likely never build another frame, I'll probably take the course again; it was one of my favorite vacations ever.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for the kind words, we'd love to see you in a class again!

[@kevin3434343434]

It's an investment, but your marketing strategy is brilliant! There might be long lead times til you see conversions but you are proving you are the go to for timber frames! Hoping one day to be able to give you all a call and build one.

[@n164bj]

Nicely done. Always enjoy your humor on the the job.

[@ToofAst4Fun]

Sounds like Gabe has a misconception of what size does in a street situation. I like when they fall hard from higher than me 😎. Keep up the great work guys!!

[@jacobusvrolijk7131]

Beautifully filmed....love the slow motion action segments!

WOW

[@cherylstark99]

Love how you guys work together. I miss being on a crew. The joking and camaraderie.

[@ShelterInstitute]

It is really a blast

[@mikewatson4644]

Great series. Enjoying the build.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you!

[@leewhizhulbert9276]

I thank you for your filming this to show how a post & beam structure goes together. I last watched your work when you did the class out in Idaho for the young couple and I watched them during their adventure. Your team should pat theirselves on the back for there great professional carpentry.

I’ve been really enjoying this series. Keep up the good work!

[@thorisian]

very encouraging watching your videos. I really enjoy the commentary throughout and the filming crew. Great job everyone and thanks for sharing your love and passion for woodworking and timber framing!

[@Grunt49]

Very nice!

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thanks!

15:46 any reason why the rafter tails are being added now? I would have thought it would make more sense to do this after installing sheathing. It seems you'll have to notch whatever sheathing you install afterwards, resulting in extra labor for an inferior result. Edited to add - I'm really enjoying your videos and learning a lot. And seeing how the video wraps up it seems garage sheathing wasn't part of the scope of work.

[@ShelterInstitute]

It's a good point. The sheathing was not in our scope, which sounds like a cop out, but we had to sheath the roof over the rafter tails.

[@assamite9614]

when you drive in the wooden peg it should have offset holes so it tightens the join, not making a pivot point.

[@gregoryjohnson3844]

Ooo your whetting bush looks like pine, but isn’t the frame hemlock? May have to take the frame down and replace it with pine.

[@ShelterInstitute]

The garage frame was pine luckily!

[@gregoryjohnson3844]

@@ShelterInstitute phew!

[@cousin_JACK]

this is superb content

[@johndawkins7823]

A style and utility thing. Seeing the garage at 21:56 the roof gable overhangs to me look really good as is, plus, if there were lookout rafters added too. Outside the vernacular perhaps, but practical. Any other thoughts anyone?

[@jiiwoodworking]

Looks like SIPs wont be used for the garage. Curious on alternatives to wrapping the garage...

[@TheMonkdad]

Great channel. I wonder how long the episode would be if there weren’t so many slow motion shots.

[@Rover19666]

Gaius, what would your best wild guess be of how long it would take one experience timber framer to cut the frame for the garage?

[@ShelterInstitute]

Great question. It takes 250 collective hours for our crew to cut a 24' x 24' like this garage. That is approximately 6 weeks if you assume 40 hour weeks.

[@Rover19666]

@@ShelterInstitute Thanks for the answer, great work as usual, took a SIP class at your place and a timber framing class at another school, all great stuff

[@AndrewConway]

Outstanding! I know it's not required so my question is just for aesthetics. Could you put 6x blocks between the rafters so as to have a Ridge???

[@danyoungs4061]

I would like to see you stagger the joints on 2x6 T&G .

[@streetlight3860]

truly outstanding work all round, shame you have to cover that beautiful frame.

[@garrettscott4094]

Do you guys mill your own 2x6 T&G?

[@ShelterInstitute]

We do not.

[@westonstaheli5663]

What’s up with the blues SIPS?

[@ShelterInstitute]

When they manufacture the OSB they take a stack and paint the outside so that it has a little bit of moisture protection in transit.

[@mixedbeans]

Ok. So one question I posed in the beginning of this series which I still am not sure was answered is this. How is the timber frame attached to the foundation/sill?

[@kindredcouches]

This might help - kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3i6lIaAjbSthrc

[@mixedbeans]

@@kindredcouches Not really. The didn't install a subfloor but I am guessing you are saying screwing in through the SIPs into the beams is enough to hold the structure to the sill?

[@ShelterInstitute]

Hi Dan! We install the sill plates to the foundation first using Simpson Strong Tie Titan HD screw anchors. We then erect the frame as seen in the videos. The SIPs are then fastened to both the timber frame and the sill plate that is anchored to the foundation.

[@g1mpster]

It doesn’t appear that you use and draw-bored pegs and I was wondering why that is?

[@sz8558]

Can someone pls explain why this isnt the default method for house construction? I can only imagine unions and politicians stand in the wat

[@ghettohey2388]

I think I would fire who ever done those concrete piers not all being the same height. Thats crappy workmanship.

[@georgestarling9367]

Building a timber frame on "stilts" just does not sit right with me.
