Where the heck is part 1? !!@#%*! Why isn't it posted here

[@BryanNichols]

I like the outtakes 😆

[@2andrea]

I love seeing the progress on this build. We really enjoy the online class

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you!

[@minyoung823]

These are the kinds of buildings that last for hundred of years. Almost non-existent hardwares, just joinerys and dowels and you get a strong, solid building. 🥰👍

[@liamkisbee8117]

There's many of these in England made out of oak the gaps between the posts are filled in with wattle and daub and painted white the posts in black tar. There called tudor houses and date to over 500 years old and are still standing and inhabited.

[@minyoung823]

@@liamkisbee8117 I love old wooden houses and stone houses but in our country lumber is exported and the locals have to contend with cement, bec lumber, timber are scarce thus expensive but then we get an average of 20 typhoons every year which are getting extreme every year so people prefer to build sturdy concrete houses, in a tropical humid country. So, we bake outside and inside. Our people also never heard of sustainability. They only cut and cut but never plant, replace what they take away. So we produce whatever scarce lumber we have, export them and the locals are left with cement. 😅 Sorry for my rant.

[@liamkisbee8117]

@minyoung823 no problem lol, it's the same in England we build our houses out of masonry with insulation wedged inbetween the cavity walls, right now it's summer and it's the same baking temp in house as to what it is outside. Also we build with just pine and masonry now, long gone are the good days of building things out of 8x8 solid oak or teak posts lol. Even the bricks today suck, the strength and weight comparison are un matched.

[@minyoung823]

@@liamkisbee8117 ah yes, the consequences of mass-produced cheap products. Gone are the days of quality products that last for years, centuries. Companies are more concerned of creating cheap products that break just as fast so us consumers replace them just as fast but manufacturers are consuming raw materials, resources from the earth just as fast to build these cheap products that piles up as trash just as fast. It is a vicious cycle. We have a GE electric iron before, my mom said it was almost as old as me. I was 17 that time, the electric iron was 14. It was quite heavy compared to irons now. We moved and I dont know where it was now but I know that appliance served us more than 20 years. Good times.

Thank you for showing all this timberframe goodness.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you for watching, we hope you enjoy!

[@evanmartin4107]

That slick is incredibly sharp to peal the end grain back like that!

[@ochjooh5385]

Great. Thanks for the Video. Greatings from Germany Frankfurt Main.❤

[@Grizzlife]

Very nice fellows. Really good craftsmanship I hope to be able to accomplish on my small cabin build.

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you!

[@gallachobaer]

Incredible progress guys, love seeing your process for raising those ridge beams on the second floor.

[@CarJaco]

The is going to be incredible Im sure, but Im most impressed about how sharp your chisels are!

[@lantapaukku7629]

Just beautiful...

[@fudogwhisperer3590]

Editor is doing a great job! Nice video's! Really enjoying this build.

[@emkoravo]

The mortis for the post @9:55 is interesting. Around 19:00 mark it looks like the mortis is ~3"x5" and the post is stepped in to accomodate the decking? Is that a fair assessment? The beam below is an 8x10 right? The underside of that beam would have a mortis to receive the post from the first floor, right?

[@edwardtobin877]

I love this post and beam style, i need to ask the girt connecting the bents is not a normal mortis and tenon how does this work Ed from Scotland

[@nathantonning]

Excellent video!

[@ShelterInstitute]

Thank you!

[@kindredcouches]

Numero dos!

[@xela158]

Looks great! Have you considered using floor nailer (like the ones they use for hardwood floors) vs a typical framing gun?

[@ShelterInstitute]

We have struggled to find a flooring nailer that handles 2" thick material. Let us know if you know of one!

[@Z-Bart]

Dewey is a good looking boy.

[@ShelterInstitute]

The goodest

[@pierre-emilecote5365]

What happens if you get caught in the rain? Do you need to wait for the wood to dry before installing sip panels? Looking to buîd one of those in a near future

[@Tradesman1156]

You guys ever use the draw pin method?

[@emrsngs]

"Typical flooring guys, 'OH, the timber framers will fix it.' " 😂😂😂 Yep.

[@PlanetFrosty]

I’ve not looked at your stuff recently, but you’ve convinced me to use this technology for my large office building and part of my home. However, I’m interested in using Graphite infused foam, unless it’s a problem. I don’t know if you have any thoughts? Thanks for any input.

[@johnkayak10]

Looking good. Curious if you oiled the timbers first or after?

[@homegrownliberty3033]

Looks like they were oiled before installing. One of the guys mentioned the oil, plus they look like fresh oil was applied.

[@horsetowater]

@3.42 is that a large stress fracture / check developing around the mortice? anything developing on the other side?

[@NSResponder]

Really looks to me like you could have much easier assembly with minor modifications to your joinery. Larger chamfers, and a bit of draft angle on your tenons.

[@bootsnframes7626]

Curious why the half lap rafter and not fork and tongue?

[@ShelterInstitute]

We really like the half lap, but a tongue and fork would work well also.

[@garrettscott4094]

What kind of truck and crane is that? Looks similar to a drywall Crane

[@ShelterInstitute]

This one is a Volvo wheeler with a 36 ton Hiab crane.

[@garrettscott4094]

@@ShelterInstitute I bet you could needle point with that thing if you had to. So much fun watching you guys work.

[@olddodger7178]

I left a message on your website yesterday inquiring about design services. I have a WoodMizer LT40 for milling and a local timber framer, with 40 years experience, for cutting joints for the frame. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

[@krisarmstrong9011]

I wanna get a 38x24 built .

[@mattclark8760]

Really interested in class how does it work

[@krisarmstrong9011]

How much would it cost for 24 x 38 6x6 frame

[@anthonyvincent9990]

why don't you draw bore the beams?

[@trace9130]

Anyone know what the tool @13:31 is?

[@AMEERASORFINABINTIMOHDSOPIANA2]

what kind of timber is used?

[@ShelterInstitute]

Eastern white pine!

[@billbeard9588]

Ok….I want you guys (or anyone competent) to takeover a project that’s maybe 20% complete. The project is in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Let me know if you’re interested.
