Timber Frame Barn Build - I Lit myself on fire!

[@anthonypiligno7618]

Thanks again for a video..........JJ...

Good luck to Zippy and one small step forward💚

Thank you!

I think I read somewhere, a man on a mission is a man on fire!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Lol right!

[@SBChevy]

I can totally relate to this video. (1) unexpected "things" WILL happen. Once upon a time, I was working on some modifications to my trailer. During this "activity", I took all necessary safety precautions (I thought) to begin my welding. During the process, I heard a LOUD boom followed my some instant pain. Evidently, I neglected one small item ... I FORGOT to move my mini propane torch from the area! Sparks from the welding melted through the thin aluminum tank on the torch. That thing blew the head right towards my hip/thigh area. Thank goodness I had my welding apron on! Otherwise I would have had some serious damage done. (2) Family comes 1st! Family consist of ALL living creatures (cats, dogs, HORSES, etc) in and around the household. After a few months of various "issues" of my own, I am just now getting to go back and start watching all of my missed videos on my followed channels in addition to getting back to piddling around in my shop. I really enjoyed this vid and LOVE how the building turned out! You did an awesome job! AND ... I am happy that Skippy is ok! Out of all the channels that I'm following, this one is my favorite. Sooner or later I will be caught up on your vids. Keep up the good work and drone footage.

Everything is really looking good Tim I admire thethe barn doors and when it comes to animals they're just like family we do the best we can to hang on to him as long as we can good work

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Mike!

[@Z-Bart]

Doors look great Tim. Stay safe. FR clothing has come a long way. Nice stuff. 👍

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Ha thanks Ray

[@pekesrepose7363]

The barn looks amazing! like it's been there for a long time. fits in on the land perfectly. might add some larger C channel for the door guides to except wide strips of 16th inch steel both on the inside and exterior to protect the door bottoms from the guide scarring up the wood and general wear- like a kick plate.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Good idea! Thank you

[@pekesrepose7363]

Great Plains Craftsman You're very welcome. fixed my typo there. I mentioned sealing the hold down L-brackets for your uprights a while back via (heat sink and quenching in oil). I didn't know if you had tried that. blacksmiths use this method all the time. beats painting and adds to the aged solid look your obtaining here for sure. anyhow sure the same method can be done with the guides. you might want to let the exterior kick plate match the rust look you have in the skirting tho. ...if you go that route. best of luck - always a treat to see what's going on with your ventures and projects 👍🏼

[@fredbruner4472]

Barns looking good!👍

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Fred!

[@philmorrison6898]

That barn sure is a work of art my friend! Thank You for sharing! Also, your not a real man unless you’ve set yourself on fire a time or two! LOL!!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

I guess that's true Phil. Thanks!

[@Debtfreehomesteaders]

I'm always good for some Black Hills BBQ!🤣 Glad to see your getting the barn buttoned up. -Will

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Will!

[@danryan3146]

I was wondering how you were going to do those doors...looking forward to see how well you are able to get them sealed . My shop has a large single slider so I'm hoping to get some ideas. From what I can tell, Zippy couldn't be in a better place.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Dan!

[@MigraineCraftsman]

You're on fire lately, lol barn looks good btw quality is evident.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you!

[@butternuthillfarm1599]

Tim what's next? First a screw in the finger, now your shirt catching fire! Thanks for a good chuckle. BTW, barn looks great, really like what you did with the doors.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Ha Ha not sure what's next but I'm sure it will be something good! Thank you!

[@bendaves77]

I hope you have the wood stove in and ready to go by the end of November when I get done hauling and laying asphalt here in Illinois.. cause I'm gonna be wanting to stay warm while I come hangout with your horse and help with snow removal. Only kidding of course however your videos are a nice treat..

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Hello Ben! Thank you

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Great video, you learned that polyester and grinders do not do well together, same goes with spandex and welders. 😩 It is too bad Zippy is going through some problems, hope they can be resolved. Safety for all comes first, it’s tough. Going out the wall then up with the chimney will work with triple wall pipe. Good luck to you and your family. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you! I may do that, need to keep a good draft

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Get the right height specifications so you don’t have a wind problem from your roof, and good bottom clean out and it’ll work good for you.

[@SilverBack.]

Tim if you have any more of that to do a fire extinguisher might be an idea lol.You are doing GREAT like I have said to Jim ( tradesman channel ) you have done most of it on your own so you do not have to apologize.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Doug!

[@lastingbuild1373]

The door color is really nice Tim!

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Jim!

[@danaskubic2145]

Great job as usual with the doors Tim, also best wishes for Zippy. Fall is definitely here, cool and rainy week in the forecast.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you Dana!

Welcome Jeffrey!

I understand the rain problem.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Yeah it is a bummer for sure

enjoy pace on videos, along with content.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks! Appreciate it

[@lukewarm2075]

Great Work

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thank you!

Using my angle grinder cutting steel, I wasnt paying close attention to where the sparks were going and set my shirt ablaze

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

It happens!

[@carolcarola9719]

Please use c clamps. They can hold your work safely and don't take much to set up.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Ok thanks Carol

[@jamesharris7868]

Barn and doors look awesome Tim.Laughed at the burning shirt try welding overhead and get o bit of slag run down your shirt i will leave you with where it ends up but hurts like hell

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

I'm sure James! Thank you

[@robertdewey6084]

I'm telling you Tim your barn looks better with each video. The weathering on the steel roof and siding really adds depth and character. BTW: I like how you customized your shirt. Although, there are less combustible ways to go about it, lol. Happy you weren't burned.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks Robert!

[@joegarage6132]

Well, we would call that a screaming Alpha, but you were laughing, so change that to a laughing Alpha. I caught my overalls on fire using the 12 inch gas metal saw. I almost went up, overalls were gone. I always look now, and use fire retardant apron to weld now.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Thanks for watching! That sounds like it was a close one!

[@joegarage6132]

@@GreatPlainsCraftsman It was, but I got it out in time. Some first and second degree burns, had worse. Just got back from Illinois made another windsor chair and stool for the cabin. Good fun, hard to get right.

[@craigmooring2091]

Man! All that Shou Sugi Ban work and you set yourself afire with the grinder? What are the odds?

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

I know!

[@JoshuaMichail0]

Might I interest you in a welder's apron? Okay, I don't actually sell them, but I've seen them on Amazon. One might have protected your shirt there.

[@GreatPlainsCraftsman]

Yes probably Joshua! Thanks for watching!

ir·reg·u·lar /əˈreɡyələr/ Note: this is a symptom of something called "oldtimer's disease" (NOT to be confused with Alzheimer's). I can speak freely of this because I am of extremely advanced age, have experienced it with increasing frequency since the onset of "middle-age" (whatever that is), and have become recently enraged from time to time when it has embarrassed me in front of thousands of people (for example: appearing on KZbin). Another symptom is the "tip of the tongue" syndrome and another is when crossing a threshold into a space seeking some object or to perform some task, one's mind suddenly becomes blank. I am sorry to tell you there is no cure. Oh, that little fire? It must be a symptom exclusive to firefighters... ;-)
