Cool to see. Like the ingenuity of the added bar frame to the loader to reach higher. Might do that on my bucket as well.

It worked out well. We also have a video in playlist on how we made it. Thanks for watching and have a blessed week

I just found your channel and have been watching on my computer. I bought a saw mill that should be ready for pickup in February. I am going to try some timber frame construction using wood from my property as well. I have an orange Kubota mx5100 and love it. Your hacks for that are something I'm going to do. Especially to the box blade. Thanks for all your time and dedication to this.

I'm starting to learn. I have experience in carpentry but I just now entered to the timber world, seems to me that once you master the joints, it's pretty fast paced, once you have the jigs that is what I'm missing, for my router. The chisels I already have them good, I've been sharpening them and Japanese knives with whetstones for a decade. Thanks for sharing this video

You’re more than welcome Luis. We are currently building a timber frame workshop behind the sawmill that you may be interested in as well

[@james_robnett]

Nice video, nice work. I'm about to start in on a porch that consists of 8x8 x 10' posts and 3 20+ foot 8x8 beams with pegged scarf joints to make a continuous beam. I have to rig a block and tackle lift up with a simple gantry tied to the posts so I can lift the beams by myself. When I saw your gantry on the Kubota bucket my first thought was 'Hey, that's cheating'. Nice system, sure makes life simpler. 30 years ago I showed up at a roofing job with a japanese saw, the main contractor laughed at it till I showed him what it could do flush cutting a 2x4. Cool to see it used here. Tough to beat the right tool for the right job.

I love working with the old tools in the old way. That being said, I appreciate your use of ratchet straps and cutting your mortices with a router, etc. Our ancestors were just men trying to get work done, and they used tools and architecture that was state of the art at the time. They would have cut their mortises with a router too if they had one available. Thanks for the video.

I’m curious as to why you only use one tie down bracket at the base of each post? You could easily add a second one on the opposite side using the same horizontal threaded rod as guide for placing it and then use the same threaded rod to fasten both tie downs

[@carlmannhard8051]

Incredible build! You're doing amazing work. At 7:45 I have a question: Can you really put a wooden post like that directly onto the concrete? Don't you need a moisture barrier of some sort so the wood doesn't soak up water from the concrete? Especially the exposed fiber of the end of the post? Thank you for the video and hopefully you, or somebody else, can answer my question. Cheers :)

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

I corrected that in a later video by jacking the post up and putting aluminum underneath because it will last longer than regular carbon metal.

I must admit how much I admire your skills..and the process is somewhat romantic I guess in wood folklore..but with the amount of time and labor I just wonder why?

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Because it’s fun and unusual. Labor not an issue. Hard work is good for the soul.

[@KrisHarbour]

You really should be draw pegging as there really isnt any force pulling the shoulder of the tenons tight.I can see the structure moving as you are hitting the pegs in. it really should not be moving like it is in some parts of the video. The posts should have slate under them so the moister does not wick up and the anchors should go at least twice as far up the post. the post bottom will rot out and that bolt wont do anything. These are small things but all really important. But the biggest issue is the lack of draw pegging and using tiny dowel instead of big tapered split oak pegs to draw the joints tight. This method is used so that in the future if the building moves at all you can just tighten it back up with a few taps on the pegs as they are tapered.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Hey, Thanks for your comment. I have already ordered aluminum plates to go under the post. They were treated but I have wondered. Going to jack it up a little and will take care of that. I have watched numerous videos on your channel and have loved them all. Thanks for sharing your life and your thoughts.

[@KrisHarbour]

@@SmokyMountainOutpost Great, that will make those post last much longer as wood hates to sit on concrete even durable wood. I always put wood on none wicking stones or slate. Glad you enjoy the videos :) look in to draw pegging as it would make the structure 10x stronger and when all the wood dries and moves you have the ability to tighten it back up.

[@maureenpardy3972]

Smoky Mountain Outpost p

[@jrocks1971]

@@KrisHarbour -- The tapered 'draw pegging' sounds KEY. Is that why some post and beamers leave the pegs protruding out of the beam an inch or so 'proud' instead of cutting them off flush -- so they can pound them in more when things get loose in the future to tighten it all up? Also -- does the peg oak matter (white oak, red oak -- I guess whatever oak you have?) Other hardwoods okay for the pegs too...? I'm going to build one of these buildings eventually -- looking for every tip I can get. Love it!

[@KrisHarbour]

Johnny Rockets yep, that’s it. Leave them long and tapered so later on if anything moves you can tighten it back up again. It’s green timber so it will move a lot so it’s quite a key design feature.

Love to be able to create my on home in the mountains but no family t o help.i wood coop with someone if they're all alone and we was close neighbors any taker are you guys in Tennessee

[@kestans]

I watched video. But for pins to be tight you would not put tenon inside the mortise, first drill a hole on side of mortise, then insert tenon, then make a pin that slides in hole easily, then cut head of the nail and hammer that few millimeter off center of the pin. Then insert the tenon and put the pin with the nail and hammer to make a mark in tenon. remove tenon and drill the hole. When you put tenon inside take new pin and sharpen it a bit so it could pass the off-center hole in tenon - when you hammer it pin will pull the tenon into mortise tight.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Understood. I am familiar with offsetting the holes 1/16 in. To draw the tenon. However the wood I used was green and my thoughts were that the word will shrink around the pins that I bought from the hardware which are dried and will tighten up on the pin anyway keeping it in place And saving me a whole lot of extra work. I also used timber screws for added strength and peace of mind

[@clintbrown4691]

Shouldn't there be a standoff between the post and concrete per code?

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Thanks for the comment. Not really sure what you mean by a standoff. If you’re making reference to material or something separating the concrete from the post, yes you are correct. This is my first timber frame and I learned later that they would could work moisture from the concrete. So many videos later I actually took a jack jacked up each post and put aluminum plates under the post.

[@clintbrown4691]

I've made similar hold dows as you. Buckeye state we have to have the hold down plus a 1" metal or plastic between the post bottom and concrete. Why I'm not sure...?? but code here. Prior to knowing that and still today but only at my own house, I just tar the end grain of the post. Good videos keep them coming.

I was looking into learning how to frame properly, I'm hoping to be able to build my own house. I've recently discovered this method of framing and it seems to be the most solid way of doing things. Comparatively, would you say that fewer pieces of lumber are used overall?

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

Welcome. Well, it depends on how you build it. I plan on building 2x4 walls (standard) between the posts you see in the video. Since the post are 7x7 you will be able to still see the frame. This is akin to German style architecture (exposed beam). If you use horizontal framing to place say, board and Baton siding (barn style), then yes. Some have used 2in styrofoam panels and placed sheet rock over that. There is a lot less “stick framing involved there. Also, the average double headers over doors and such are eliminated with the beam structure. You can google comparisons on timber and stick framing to see all the pros vs and con that may exist. I will tell you it takes longer, but is “bullet proof”, lol.

[@onedeadchicken2489]

@@SmokyMountainOutpost I'll take the time, the results will be worth the attention. Stick framing just doesn't have this kind of stability.

I’m building 2x4 partitions between posts as well to use for interior room layout and for exterior window and door supporting much more used to stick framing so it’s also an easy way I already know how to run utilities through the walls and just drywall over it.

Never hammer a round stud. Always a square. If the hole is 20 mm, the square pin must be 20x20 mm. Sharpened and hammered in. This solution is perfect and will not let go. round can dry out and become loose over time.

[@SmokyMountainOutpost]

I knew that. Didn’t have time to make them like I wanted to before help arrived. I did good to finish the beams. Wood is still partially green. So I’m sure it will shrink in diameter on the dowel and lock it in. “Saving grace.”
