Great video. I soak it all up like a sponge.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for watching!

[@SailingCatamaranElement]

Great video! It answered several questions I had regarding large span capability. Looking forward to attending a class when I return to the same side of the world!

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for watching! We look forward to meeting you someday!

[@westonstaheli5663]

Heck yeah! These are my favorite videos. Quick question: How are the posts attached to the floor? I didn’t see any fasteners or other hardware used in the video.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for watching! The SIP wall system is used to tie the frame to the first floor platform that is attached to the foundation. We go over it in depth in the third video in this series which will be out in two weeks!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

As always.... Outstanding craftsmanship being demonstrated here!!!🙌 I drive past your sign and driveway on my way back-and-forth to Spruce Head every year. In fact, I just was by your way three weeks ago!👍

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

You’re scaring me! When exactly did you do this? It’s September but there is a lot ice about and cold weather!

[@ShelterInstitute]

Hahaha do not fear this was early this Spring! We still have some warm weather left

[@johnleeman5992]

Great video guy's.

Hi, what do you call those little clamps that you use on the metal square @4:47? Thanks

[@ShelterInstitute]

Stair gauges! They’re made by Starrett. You can find them at sheltertools.com !

Great Build. Old School, Really Old School with Modern Twists. How far from your home base does your team travel? You designed this yourself with the input of the Owner? Did he take your offerings of schooling before he committed to this build? I know, lots of ?s but the KZbin Community is envious and curious. Great Video and Great Project.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you! We’ve traveled as far as California from Maine. We’re willing to travel just about anywhere. We have an in house design and engineering team that works with the homeowner on their design. Our clients also often have architects or designers of their own who we work with. This client did not take out courses.

QUESTION: That stop-splayed wedged, under squinted tabled scarf joint... Can it go unsupported by something underneath it, because it's wedged? And if so, is there a limit to how many you can do in a single span? The reason why I ask, is because here in central Oklahoma, (cross timbers region) straight lumber is very hard to come by, and our only real abundant option is Eastern Red Cedar. ERC is stable and strong, but it's stubby. Could you theoretically utilize multiple wedged scarf joints to make a span? Thanks

[@SailorGerry]

How are the posts attached to the sub-structure? A video close-up detail & full explanation would be much appreciated. What is the construction of the sub-structure? Thank you, in advance, for your kind assistance.

[@ShelterInstitute]

We go into more detail about attachment in the next two episodes! Coming out this Saturday and next

[@dusty7264]

It looks like you’re using a actual Rafter square, I haven’t seen one in years

[@ShelterInstitute]

We love them!

[@dusty7264]

@@ShelterInstitute we see them in hardware stores but they don’t have all the tables on them and they are usually called framing squares. Same dimensions but no tables on them. Have a great day

Question for any who can answer. On our farm we have about 25 acres of mixed hardwoods, no pine or fur. All our timber is straight and has been used on the barn. What wood should I use? Basically have every hardwood there is in the US, located in Ohio.

[@westonstaheli5663]

They say White Oak makes a good timber frame, though it’s quite heavy and harder to cut.

[@aaronwiebe5798]

get an engineer... Im also in Ohio. using red oak posts and summer beams and white pine everything else

[@Mrskyline25t]

4 days + 1000 hours in the shop 😂

[@ShelterInstitute]

1000 definitely sounds like a big number but that is total hours. It took our crew of six about five days!
