I was looking for cnc machining videos and now i want to raise a barn lol,,,,,great videos..funny how you can just stumble upon these little treasures:)
I dismantled a 1901 barn near Plymouth IL about 25 years ago. Trucked it to my place in Macomb, IL and set it on top of a 2x6 frame for a two car garage first floor and 2 story Gamble roof barn on top. So far it's still standing with the original timbers and pegs. Before the internet I just read books by Ted Benson.
Nice work! Just a little tip: The shimming causes an unequal load onto the post. If you made the shoulder of the prothese a bit too high, set it in place plum and re-saw the seam, it would be perfectly flush and the shimming would have been unnecessary.
In other words, keep the tongues short on the timber and new piece by the thickness of saw blade . . re-saw the seam in place so they match perfectly. Raise the new piece up tight, then peg???
Awesome job. I'm very interested in this type of work. I've been a carpenter/framer for 25 years and timberframing has always interested me. Catering to big budget jobs doesn't really appeal to me unfortunately. Preserving old barns and historical structures almost seems like a Devine purpose. Maybe it's because of my family's farming / building heritage or I just get it honestly; my uncle is master carpenter and stone mason working in the Netherlands doing castle and cathedral restoration and repairs. My Dad always reminds me of my uncle's skills of perfect joinery.
We have a barn that needed fixing too! After four years of trying to find someone to do the job, we just had to start it ourselves. Lots of videos and books for research! No one wants to do this kind of work on the West Coast! My husband is a hard worker - and we are getting it done - one post at a time. :) 120+ yr. old Timber Frame barns are worth saving!
Dude you cant see the termites running out haha just plonk in a new bit of timber for them to eat...nuthing like coming back in 3 years to redo it...seriously join the military
Thank you

Should have injected structural epoxy into the joint until it oozed out at the outside edges and then tightened the structural screws.
Nice job! I have work I need to do like that. What is the structural epoxy you use? Thanks
