There comes a point when a man has to set aside his ego and admit he needs to get help to complete his task. you my friend are at that point. Take a step back and get someone to complete this so you can move on and try to get this somewhat completed before the first snow fall. With a new baby due any day you are getting over your head. Time to move forward with craftsmen that can complete this job quickly and more importantly safely

I have to agree with you here! But many of the problems can be attributed to " a hair out of square". A few years ago I watched a channel that was building a homestead and the house was timber framed. They went to Maine and took a timber framing workshop at Shelter, and even then they managed to arrange to have Shelter do a hands-on workshop at their place in Oregon. You can't learn delicate, precise hands on skills just by watching You Tube.

Exactly what I was thinking. There should be some type of wood filler, like sawdust mixed with a strong glue to fill that space back up and let it sit, then recut the post for the plate. Using a chainsaw doesn’t seem like the right tool to cut the slit for the plates. There’s got to be a better tool than chainsaw for the job.

Trent, I hate to say it, and I have loved watching you learn and grow in this. You keep talking about the pro timber framers, and I have to say, it might be time to call one of them, to at least get some advice, if not hire them to do this portion for you. A not level knife plate, and out of plumb posts, could be a bit more than a hair out of square. Good luck! Just remember, there is nothing wrong with asking for help.

[@priscillachapman9145]

By the time they read these comments they will have already finished these posts. They have been running about two weeks behind real time.

[@marvincunha149]

Ok here goes. As an observation, I've noticed that the plates you are making up for the posts, have the bolts you're putting in, sitting a little proud of the plate that the post will sit on. That . in turn will make the plate sit up, and the two side holes for the plates also be off a little, and once you've drilled the side holes, they can't be undone, unless you turn the post, and then also have to make a new cut for the plate to fit in. A quick fix for the bolt heads would be to notch the corners, then the post would sit flat. As for the slop inside, you might try welding washers to each side of the plate to fill in the slop, Just saying, and if all else fails, like others have suggested, hire people to get it done, or I can see it now, 4 ft of snow, etc. That's my two cents.

[@jeannienicholson6747]

Sounds like they need you there to help. Where do you live?

Regarding the mis-cut beam slot. I recommend using that side of the cut as the “top” of the beam and filling the slot with a wood fill. Start over at the other end as your new bottom side and implant lessons learned solution. I think this will work unless I’m missing something! Blessings all ya’all! Keep the faith brother!

[@Wdeane1957]

Simplest solution is to use the beam on a different concrete pier and attach the base plate 90 degrees from the first one. The slot is hidden so you don't see it once the post is in place. Cut another post for the plate that's already in place.

I almost burned a hole in the kitchen floor when I made lye soap for the first time. I admire them all for recognizing mistakes, undoing and redoing. If they decide to go to an expert, well, that too, is part of learning… trial and error. They aren’t trying to be Frank Lloyd Wright, they are doing the best with what they have.

Mount one of the knife plates at 90 degrees onto the concrete pillar so that your cutout is aligned and the post is usable. You will never see the difference as the plate is hidden.

I'm hooked on Trent and Allie's channel - i've learned a lot about building, trucks, dealing with challenges. That said, I try to overlook Allie's cutting comments about Trent, that I know are supposed to be funny, but aren't always - but this title was over the top.

Shoot, I’m shocked Allie has survived these past 4 years of Trent’s controlling behavior.

I just want to let you know how much I appreciate you all xox

[@gerrysherman2007]

You're supposed to grout under the base plates and level them before the epoxy sets. When you do that you also use the transit to set all the plates at the same level. If they don't end up at the same level cut your posts to compensate for the difference.

[@CPO-Snarky]

He is trying to fly IFR with only VFR experience. That entire base plate connection could have been designed much better and the 12x12 column is excessive not only in load capacity but also in the scale of the structure.

[@leolaniukeulady4172]

Good for you to put your learning curves on you tube. My gosh, you certainly leave yourself open for people to armchair your building efforts. Pretty darn brave, I don’t even tell my family when I’m doing home projects, they always have a better way, but never accomplish much on their own. Easy to call it from afar. Stay steady! It’s fun when you finish and it looks good. Keep the faith, your good . 🎈

[@janewolfe9137]

Have enjoyed and followed your videos since I discovered you during Covid shutdowns. Thank you so much for sharing with us! BTW: I am a retired early childhood specialist and a great Grandmother, I have found that using a large cookie sheet for toddlers when painting, play dough, finger paint, cut & glue, etc. helps contain the activity. Looking forward to new baby boy… savor the period of time- it is all too brief.😘

[@cornypinkuni9519]

Thank you for the cookie sheet tip ❤

[@JasonMoodie]

Done the knife plates ones, no fun!!! We ended up griinding the top of the plate to a be like a knife, sharp with a slight scoop or inverted moon, then we pounded it in the last 1/2-3/4 of an inch. That stopped the play and made it so that we didn't have to figure out how to carve it out all the way. Good luck bro.

Hey Trent, I just watched HeirloomBuilders jig video. They trimmed the upper corners of the knife blades so they don't hit the rounded corners of the pockets when the blades are inserted into the posts. Could you cut or grind off your corners in the same manner?

T+A, plug that slot with cutoff beam wood using exterior Titebond and recut it in the other direction use thin plywood to shim the steel slot, drill pilot holes and the drilling will go way faster and quit whining! There is no sideload on those beams it's all download.

Love seeing him little boys things a riding machines with Dad an the guys!!

[@ltrillium1000]

Hope is not a strategy. You're in so deep under water the sun can't be seen at your depth. This is classic Trent-five unfinished major projects, a baby on the way, and no end in sight. It's time to stop thinking only of yourself (I know, impossible ask) and consider your wife and children. Hire experts who know what they're doing. Having two kids is three times the work of one because your wife will need your help. You'll either be not working on these projects or leaving her alone. This is pure ego; for the love of your family, STOP. And yes, Allie, your husband is doing insane things. He's not an idiot, just self-centered. Trent, you said, "everything is coming back to bite me in the butt." That's the mindset that got you here. No third party is acting against you; you're making costly mistakes, and your family is paying the price. The stress on your wife is immense. It's all on you, Trent.

Thank you for your videos. I love them. I'm always amazed at how, through Brandon is with his sun protection. He is always covered and wearing a rash guard shirt, sun hat, and hood up and gloves on his hands. I have to do the same things in the sun, or break out in hives and risking another skin cancer. Good job making sure your guys are sun protected at higher altitudes. Most people don't realize the higher the altitude, the less atmosphere to protect your skin from the sun.

[@carolscott9973]

Poor Trent and Allie, you seem to be living in your own “Groundhog Day” movie. But I have faith in Trent, Brandon and Grayson, you are all very determined men with a lot of talent and you will overcome these obstacles. The finished product will be wonderful and even if there are a couple of places that you all know aren’t necessarily perfect, to the rest of the world, it will look perfect. Also, I tune in every Friday and Monday morning wondering if there’s going to be a video, if there’s no video, then I’m pretty sure that it’s because Allie is busy having the baby, which will be so exciting.

[@charlesscalisi3751]

Turn the entire support post 90* to have the “wrong” cut facing in the correct direction and the base plate will be mounted 90* from the original plan. Place the incorrectly cut beam as next (or any other) support column as first base plate has already been secured.

Hi Trent, I would advise you to set aside one pole for practice do all the test cutting and stuff up to when you get it right then proceed. Love you all.

Absolutely don't quit. All of you together can do this, never give up. You have the equipment and the ability. It's no different than a lot of the other things you have done. How else are you supposed to build carecter ! And a tip for all your drilling. Annular cutters, and a mag drill, all those holes would have been done in probably an hour or 2. Check out Evolution tools. They have a nice box set of annular cutters and different size drills, and check out their steel cutting saws right away. My next purchase is their new compound mitersaw. Keep up the good work, game on !
