Been watching you for a while. It’s very peaceful watching someone assemble all the parts and make it so.

[@briand5521]

Such a positive attitude in everything you do it's refreshing to see and it shows, that barn is looking great , your videos are great and i really enjoy watching them , keep them coming and give cabbage a good scratch for me.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@martinwelsford1353]

What great joints. Your opening words were spoken by Mr Churchill - a great fan of your country. Well after the 2nd German War he was the guest at a school prize giving. He stood up, said those words, made eye contact with every pupil then sat down.

[@sueplummer6669]

Long time lurker but first time commenter. I love the beginning of the building and I love watching you on the mill. Take care and God bless.

Fantastic. Great to see the dream unfold into reality. Amazing what one man with the right tools can accomplish by himself. Great job Nathan. All your effort will be memory in a few months. Five years from now and you will have forgotten the sweat.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Absolutely!

[@matthewfrey1948]

Your an amazing inspiration Nathan. I appreciate your sharing your growth that is present in each video. I have taken many small steps towards my own vision in response to watching you since I joined your channel. I have a cousin who made his own sawmill from scratch. Bought 50 acres in Vermont and started towards getting ready to build a Timber frame house. Unfortunately he suffered a stroke last spring and has lost everything. Life is tough. You have to have the same faith as Mr Cash. Never give up on yourself.

I have been waiting to see if you explain why you are burning the post.?

[@davidnielsen4490]

Good evening Nathan, You are doing a great job on that shop and storage area. I'm really excited for you. When I moved to the country, I wanted to build a shop. Unfortunately, I got a condition that prevents me from working around woodworking equipment. In some respects, watching what you're doing is like making my dream come true. Have a beautiful weekend. I appreciate your videos and the love for wood as I also love wood.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Thanks 👍

[@stokerboiler]

Just a suggestion: When you get the barn finished get an exterminator to treat all you work areas. You've put down a lot of sawdust and that is just a "come-and-get-it" for termites. Tennessee (even the mountains) is the South and bugs are active much more than further north.

[@tonygrimes13]

Most of his sawdust is burned but some kept for garden compost.

[@tompinnef6331]

The barn is coming along great. Looks like you go a new 'tool' also. Hope the family and you are doing well. 'Spin'

[@davidpape9726]

Great job installing the next beam and post assembly by yourself. May want to install a bar off the back of the fork cage to keep the beam from falling back onto the tractor cab.

[@timberdoodles4647]

I noticed on your brace you laid out the tenon from the bottom, in practice it best to lay out from the shoulder side, then reduce the tenon if you need to on the back side this keeps the shoulder at your set off, 1.5 or 2 inches and gives you a proper thickness on your tennon too. Oh, some folk get disturbed about the grey on older timber ahhh just torch it, I will have to remember that one. Haven't gotten into the burned wood, need to try it on a project. got one coming up that will be perfect. I typically assemble with the reference face up and drive pegs from said side. It looks like the braces are set inboard to accommodate the stick built walls, that addresses those pesky braces. The tenons on the top of the post need not be through tenons, helps keep the weather out and less work. hummm something new? Don't mind me and my comments just things I see and its great for the utube A I system. How has your winter been, I presume most of the country got a bit of that cold vortex that Texas got. I'm really looking forward to spring break up.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

good points there didn't think about it that way. You should do a proper brace and tenon layout video for rookies like me. That info is hard to find now a days. And yes the braces are inside so when the walls are up you can still see them. Those were white oak, super heavy but strong. I actually went with two 2x10s for the top plate to set the trusses on top instead of a solid beam. I had a bunch laying around and wanted to put them to use. Appreciate your help,

[@timberdoodles4647]

@@OutoftheWoods0623 Ahhh yes, I missed that part of the frame, then I can see the longer tenon. I have the brace layout video but I don't think I cover setting the tenon off the reference face.

[@mstrdiver]

Nathan - Another question from the cheap seats if you would - Is there a reason that the the tenon tongues seem so narrow compared to the thickness of the mortise timbers? The Amish in PA usually use a one-third measurement in that the tenon tongue thickness should be approximately one-third of the total width of the accepting mortise timber pocket to reduce the likelihood of cracking due to wind wracking or weight loading.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

standard rule for 4x6 braces is a 2x3 tenon actually per Timber Frame Standards I have been taught by people who know far more than I do about this, just following their guidance, I get what you are saying though,

[@smity7096]

Great intro. Love the wood work, the dado joints, the mortise and tenon and the wooden dowel's are nice. The scorched wood is a nice touch. It's really looking good.

[@rehmangusandapiary9024]

Nathan at around 8:50 in the video that was an unsafe act having the leader high with the forks being vertical. The bent could have fallen towards the cab because nothing was preventing rearward movement. Folks have done that with round hay bales that are either paralyzed or deceased. This info provided by a person with 50 plus years operating tractors. Stay safe my friend.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

appreciate it but the angle is a little misleading of the camera, the rear of the forks/frame was tilted upward making it impossible to happen but I see your point, thank you,
