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

[@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.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

thanks Sue, dont be such a stranger,

[@cmw184]

Man i love that word

[@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.

[@richardthornhill4630]

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!

[@morgansword]

As another man who loves critters of all sorts, Mr, your a builder!! And now for all intents and complement intended, I think the entrance and the exits on this video. are just so wow, kicked it out of the park

@@OutoftheWoods0623, You've got great content. Keep it up. I fat-fingered a thumb's-down on your previous reply. Honestly, that is something I would never do intentionally. Thanks for all you do. Many of us greatly appreciate your example. :-)

[@jeremynicoletti9060]

I love seeing more people doing flame treatment - it's worked well for me, too.

[@DanTheManIOM]

why do the flame treatment ? you don't have to paint ? Prevents insects ? IDK, trying to get better and better every day...thanks in advance

Absolutely LOVE the Johnny quote! Had goose bumps instantly!

[@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.

[@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 David,

[@RedEyedJedi]

Sounds like something Raj would say in front of Howard. Howard's response being... "You love wood you say" or "Can you even hear yourself"

[@BillB23]

That was a skillful tease there at the end. Can't wait to see what new toy you got.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

backhoe,

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

I have been waiting to see if you explain why you are burning the post.? My guesses have been 1 cosmetic, 2 it is actually a fire retardant, old japanese style, 3 something to do with the heat and sap. Another great video my friend, Thanks for taking the time to share this with us. You have given me a few more ideas for our move to Texas. Keep up the greta work and have a blessed, safe and healthy weekend. Dale

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Cosmetic 👍👍

[@mikef7306]

I like the hybrid timber frame thing you went with.

[@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'

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.

Was that Johnny Cash speaking at the beginning of the video? Great quote attached to a great build. Thanks for sharing.

[@edb86]

Two questions from a city boy. Are the large posts that you are charring dried lumber? They look freshly cut. And why are you charring them? To seal them? Thanks

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

green wood and appearance,

[@brianfletcher7942]

[@CairnCreek]

Pretty inspiring intro, I think I’ll go build something today!

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

Awesome

[@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,

[@nowuknowthis1903]

Simple if you have a tractor, a mill, lots of heavy duty tools!

[@barrystrachan6340]

Hey Nathan, do you still need to put a sealer on the timbers after you give them that Japanese flame treatment???

[@geoffwysham1731]

No.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

no sir,

[@alanatolstad4824]

It's a mystery to me how you make such precise cuts w/o a blueprint or cheat sheet!---I loved hearing the mourning dove. We have ring-neck doves here, but I can hear the mourning dove when we go to ND.

He does “make” it look easy. You never see the film crew he has working in the background.....😉

[@ukbusman]

Why the burning of the timber? Was it for aesthetics or a preventive infestation measure?

[@hotrodhog2170]

The building is coming along nicely! How's your Dad doing? I remember a while back you said he was retiring and going to be in your videos a lot. Only seen him in one so far. Hope everything is well down yonder.

[@OutoftheWoods0623]

he is here, just not on camera,

[@stevemcentyre1570]

Why torch the timbers? Is there a functional purpose or just aesthetics?

Borneman jig - you can make your own. The base has a 1/2” lip on the other side so when you flip it, you have 1.5, 2.5, 3.5”, and so on.
