Sawing Timber Frame Beams. FAIL!

[@TwoGuysTimberframing]

Nice and square my man! We never fail just might take longer to accomplish. I remember cutting that one up. Good show boys!

[@BissellMapleFarm]

George's excitement cutting up logs is contagious. Every log is like Christmas with George.

[@mcsawmill]

@@TwoGuysTimberframing it's amazing how many times I had to handle these timbers lol...

[@TwoGuysTimberframing]

@@mcsawmill a lot more since you met me! I might touch everything I cut 30 times. 👍

“It does help when it’s drawn on there” … my thoughts exactly … LOL

Good recovery from the Oops! Let's see, we have a Toe Board Dave and now I guess a Toe Board George 😁 I must admit I've done it too but magically it never showed up in video 🤣

[@mcsawmill]

@@southernadirondackoutdoors it really bummed me out screwing up those timbers. But we got all 61 pcs done before the show... Oh I got to meet Sandy at the show, would love to saw with him someday lol he's a good guy.

Thanks PAUL!!

George is crazy with his “perfect”cuts

[@mcsawmill]

@@spartakmayakovski4797 at the show one of the Hudson sawmill guys noticed there was no washboard on any of the beams.

[@williamprophett9148]

Ouch... that sucks, George. Shit happens, brother.

[@mcsawmill]

@@williamprophett9148 we cot 61 timbers for this project, only messed up one that I couldn't fix so wasn't too bad

[@williamprophett9148]

@@mcsawmill Hell yeah! Wish I could have been there.

[@williamprophett9148]

You could take the corners off it and make an octagonal light house?😂😂😂😂😂

[@MsdMakingSawDust]

George I was setting here watching you mill that little ole log and noticed you forgot the toe board, I was trying to warn you but…… I think you just joined the The old man and the saw club… but don’t feel bad we all have done it… other than that good job.

[@mcsawmill]

I just found out when you buy an LT40 wide it now comes with an old man! That's even better than hydraulics!

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

FYI Often you battle dimensional variation in timber framing. Unless you are getting consistent perfectly milled beams, you may wish to use a reduction in your joinery with the wild side protruding into a space where it doesn’t matter.

[@mcsawmill]

@@devmeistersuperprecision4155 I'm just learning timber framing so do my best to make each to size.

[@devmeistersuperprecision4155]

@@mcsawmill some beams were hacked out with broad axes! If you have an 8x10 tie beam that is off like yours was, that’s OK! The shack is 12 feet wide so load numbers are good. By using a reduction, you let that offset hang down while your tie beam tennon or half dovetail tennon is the same size from the opposing datum plane. No one will see the difference and bothe tie beams will be interchangeable.

Rut row, Raggy!

How many people from the channel ended up at that festival?

[@mcsawmill]

I met a LOT of folks because of the timber display.

Ти тратиш час пила сама показує 😊привіт з Капат!😊❤

[@mcsawmill]

I like sawing, doesn't matter what I saw.

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

Boy, George, (thankfully you don't look like Boy George) how could you leave the toe board up? You don't see ME doing that..............at least recently. Too bad there isn't a market for REALLY BIG wedges. Good job on maxing out the yield from that very ugly log. Dave

[@mcsawmill]

@@TheOldManAndTheSaw we all know you would never forget the far toe board lol ..

[@TheOldManAndTheSaw]

@@mcsawmill I try not to let either toe board get jealous of the other; therefore I forget both of them.

[@chuckb.3324]

Hero to Zero...... All that art work and at the last minute you offset the pith? Well you tried. Some day perhaps.

[@mcsawmill]

Nothing ever goes according to plan!
