Arlo and johno are the truth they do so much work and are not recognized but as carpenters see that and how valuable they are to your company so great just love you guys and y’all work together one big A team

[@chrisshick2335]

Loved the splinter!!! My wife heard me laughing and asked if I was watching another Perkins video, the joy of your job site makes me smile.

[@diyhandcraftedlifestyle9151]

Every video is awesome. KZbin should recommend to everyone

[@T.E.P.]

Jaime need his own channel tooo in addition to everything else you all make happen. INCREDIBLE

[@Asta-wl8jz]

Arlo is the man! He so casually comes up with the proper cuts.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

We take it for granted… But having a cut man like Arlo makes EVERYTHING easier

[@k.sullivan6303]

Good to see some guys working, having fun, cracking jokes, and doing a great job as well.

So good to hear Jamie back again! I love his stories!! He needs to be a teacher!! Eric and Jamie would make great teacher’s. You guy’s stay hydrated it’s been really hot lately! Can’t wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing with us!! Ray and Jay well they need to get Ray’s house finished and put out more and longer video’s so get on to them Eric and Jamie. Stay safe!! Ray and Jay are awesome as well!!

Respect to my man working w/ T1. It’s a serious struggle not many people understand.

[@thecordlesscarpenter7956]

Jaime, you were absolutely correct about the Japanese tree orientation. They also place them on the same side of the structure to correlate with the side of the mountain that the tree grew on. South side of the mountain = south side of the structure.

[@briannielsen769]

Good to have Jaime back!

Good carpenters crown their studs. Great carpenters make sure all their studs stand the same way the tree did.

Jamie handsdown has the best personality on the channel. In fact everybody is unique in their own way. I think they deserve their own HGTV show. To the Young folks, make a petition or something to have them on HGTV. Tag them on Twitter. Make it happen

[@MadRat70]

If you know a sheet metal guy he can sheer you off 1" strips of metal for stirrup straps on the ridge. The stirrup goes over the ridge and you screw into the undersie of your rafter. Metal loves tension and they will put all the pull at the top onto the ridge beam. Gravity also forces the stirrup to pull in at the bottom of your rafter strap, but also allows you to move the bottom of your rafters in or out until you hurricane strap them in at the bottoms. 22 gauge is plenty of strong straps for the stirrup. Your rafter will snap before the stirrup even reaches a quarter of its load capacity on a 15' long rafter.

[@richardmiffleton381]

Well I am 77 years old and probably not going to use a lot of the information that you presented in your video I am compelled to say that your video is both entertaining and informative and I enjoyed it very much

[@zacharymurphy7004]

Great videos guys. I went to school at Southwestern Community in Sylva. Love that area and the whole western side of NC. Grew up a masons tender and have done carpentry and electrical work as well. Have always enjoyed construction! But I really love watching REAL pros like you guys build complex projects like this!!! This is awesome!!! I just sit here and watch video after video after video. 😂

Here in Germany🇩🇪 diese this type of construction is inconceivable. Every garden shed is better built. Any structural engineer would describe the entire structure as defects. Personally, however, I like this design

I must say you lot are growing on my, I am really enjoying watching you build, I'm from the UK so not much of what you do applies here but I'm a Joiner almost from birth it's in my family blood from way back and apart from working wood I also love watching other's working it as you guys do, keep up the good work so I can keep watching, then tell me how you get so many veiwers as I struggle.

[@georgebliss7674]

Watching you guys again after a long break (been busy) is just so nice. It's great to see everyone doing well; new bionics, new belts, and a cool new build. Keep it rolling boys. It's always a pleasure. And that bit about the post being the "right way up"? Yeah, he isn't wrong. See, end grain not only wicks water but also draws it up through capillary action. If you were building a post and beam in an old-school style with posts landing directly upon stone, wicking and drawing moisture is something that you would do well to avoid, right? So you flip your posts.

[@ConsideredYET]

Jamie's thing about the beam standing like the tree actually sounded legit

[@ChrisDarjany]

It actually is legit. Japanese carpenters do it. Also, dropping the post will probably help it stay straighter over time. This can be done to stabilize wood when building furniture, table lees, etc… why not an 8X8?

[@jennifurzoe1302]

@@ChrisDarjany I heard when they cut by handsaw that the teeth pull the wood towards them to become closer with it.. I know I run my hacksaw blades backwards and it works for me.

Hey thanks Brad!

[@kenmaira]

Random thought, but if you guys are looking for those "rustic" looking beams, it might be easier / better to look for local sawmills. There's so many people that love woodworking, you should be able to find someone with a beam with the required dimensions

Like your work guys. Got some good pointers watching your video. Reminded me of when I was 1st starting out as a carpenter back in the early 70's when all our roofs were cut n stack. Humping all that lumber , 2x10 and 2x12 by hand. Makes you into pretty good shape for sure. Now that I am older, the young guys get to do the grunt work. All fun still.

really appreciate the info on how to build a structural loft roof with the vaulted living space below. i binge almost all your videos just to learn how to frame my own home one day. one of those things that ive wanted to do since i was a kid

[@rahdaswami2452]

Great roof framing tips. Gosh, it must be nice to have man power. In the old days, workers were scare that knew how to frame, and most of the time you were pulling 2x12 rafter up yourself, ouch, back attack. You brothers have paid your dues building with your Dad, and now can enjoy the reputation, and money that goes into building in custom locations. Hat off to you.
