Homemade 30FT Laminated Beams made of Sawmill Lumber PT3

Part 3. Will our homemade laminated beams carry the load? Time will tell, but I am not afraid to try. Making laminated beams is nothing new. We are building a sawmill cover for our OS23 sawmill by Frontier Sawmill. All of the lumber we use will be made from the lumber cut on the sawmill. Follow us on our journey.

What a blessing to have the wood right in your area and the mill to cut it up.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Once I bought the sawmill, people started giving me trees. I go pick them up with the tractor and trailer.

[@captainprairie5790]

Man, that works out slick!

[@brentk9520]

i am really impressed with this homemade beam. going to go back and watch part 1 and 2 next!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

The beam is still holding up well. I learned a lot about making a beam. I think I would stack them flat now. It seems to be the best way to build a beam.

[@brentk9520]

@@TonysTractorAdventure i think i will build my beam flat on sawhorses. going to build a 24 x 10 ft loft in my pole barn. want to use as few support post as i can to give me plenty of room underneath where my workshop will be. 6 inch concrete slab was poured on thursday. waiting to cure. will be nice when the weather cools for these fall projects.btw i like your tym tractor and especially the quick connect for the loader. i have a kioti ck30 korean tractor that's been like a good friend to me for many years.

[@Bodhranarama]

Once again, many thanks for letting us follow your journey. With all the material that may be the most valuable beam in North America! Whatever happens we're learning a lot.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is a beast of a beam. I am thinking of starting a bridge company.😁

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I was thinking about what you said. I wonder what it would have cost if I had bought all of the wood. Two sheets of OSB was $80!

[@Bodhranarama]

I wouldn't like to guess Tony, but it'd be plenty!

[@davidedwards3734]

Great video on building the beam. Looking forward to next step. Have a Safe Day

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. The video is coming out soon.

[@terrymangum7635]

That beam is massive. Looking forward to the next video. Enjoyed.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Stay tuned. We ran into a problem, but we will figure it out.

[@davida.p.9911]

Good n Strong! 💪 That beam will be able to withstand a lot of stresses for sure. Good work, Tony! 🚜

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is up! I have a video coming out soon. Editing takes a good bit of time.

[@tractorman4461]

Man....what a BEAST of a beam... There's a lot of meat in there for sure. I think the OSB is a good idea.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Yes sir, I am pleased with it as a first try. I am going to move the beam to the back row next week. It has three post. I didn't put enough crown in it.

[@tractorman4461]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I'm sure whatever it is you do, it will work out pretty darn good Tony.

[@judypace4856]

Looks good!! Great job!!!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you.

[@100texan2]

Looks really good. Keep it up you’ll get there!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Hope so!

[@thebradleysoncatbirdhill6849]

Very interesting, Tony! I love your ingenuity 👍💪

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. I am not afraid to try and thing. If I fail, I will try again.

[@scrotiemcboogerballs1981]

Thanks for sharing buddy

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. Step by step! Getting it done.

[@jimfriday4909]

Great video

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you, Jim. We are sharing it all. Good and bad.

[@MannistoCay]

Lots of work for that! 🌴

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

It is a significant span, that it must cover.

[@matthewsims359]

Im trying to get caught up on videos. Im really enjoying the content.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Welcome back!

[@terrygrantham7762]

Good work

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you.

[@Wheelloader__]

Nice video Tony. Glue. Nails and OSB. even at 28 feet. I don’t think you’ll have a problem.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That beam is some kind of heavy. We ran into a problem, but we will figure it out. The sawmill went down again, so I am upgrading the engine and clutch. It came at a bad time, but life does what it does.

[@Raul28153]

If ya ever do that again, have the lumber planed all the same thickness and use a roller for a glue spreader. Make sure they have sharp planer blades you do not want a glassine surface for a glue up.

[@bobgrier3103]

Straddle the beam with the tractor and lift it with the loader and 3-point hitch. It’ll work for a short haul.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

I ended up putting the beam on the trailer which was an ordeal. Your way was a great idea and maybe easier than what I did.

[@OGAOutdoors]

That guide for the Skil saw is pretty slick. I’ve cut a lot of osb over the years just using a chalk line. Take care, Ben. #ogaoutdoors

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you my friend. I have had the saw guide for many years and it really is handy. When ever you use a hash tag at the end of your post, the post is blocked. I have to approve it.

[@mitch_smith]

"next time on Tony's Tractor adventure Homestead: putting a battery powered framing nailer back together!" HAHAHA. Just kidding. also, on that wood glue, do yourself a favor next time and swing by the dollar store/tree/general and get you a synthetic plastic brush. Look in their cooking supplies, like what you'd use for putting bbq on the ribs. When that glue dries on those brushes, you just pull it off or break it off. I use them for woodworking projects. Lot better than paint brushes.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Thank you. We have the beam up, and it will need a little help, stay tuned. Next time on.............

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

[@andrewanderson1436]

Dang that's heck of a beam. Whatever you use to move and hang that beam with go-ahead and stencil the date for your load test on o ichabod there. Lol.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

That's right. Old Ichabod Crane truck uses viagra. He will stay erected for weeks without leaking down!

[@andrewanderson1436]

@@TonysTractorAdventure I just spit out my coffee lol.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

He doesn’t need to call a Mechanic if he stays erect for more than 4 hours. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

[@Visceral.]

Hi, can this work for a backyard bridge without any supporting posts? Trying to span 30ft across a creek without placing posts in the creek. Thanks.

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Sure if you build it big enough. I would build it with more of a positive crown.

[@Visceral.]

@@TonysTractorAdventure Great, thank you!

[@975202]

Hey how is the beam holding up? If you did it again, would you do it the same? Thanks!

[@TonysTractorAdventure]

Still up there

[@AlanTheBeast100]

No expert here, but I would consider it "laminated beams" if the wood was glued together under some amount of pressure w/o using fasteners. Not sure if the kind of glue was mentioned?
