Sometimes I forget just how labor intensive all that you are doing is, and then a video like this one shows someone wincing (Alyssa this time) and it hits me: That's hard work! - Good to see the drive is still there!
Hi, Just a little tip to help with power tools, put the cord over your shoulder and through a belt hook to make a loop, then use a bit of a dowel or something to stop the loop coming out. This keeps the cord out of the way and behind you so you don't accidently cut the cord or trip over it.
U both r such hard workers. Always look like y'all are enjoying what u r doing even though it takes a lot out of u. Really have enjoyed the videos. Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey. Can't wait to see the next one 😁
We love keeping up with you two. We were wondering, did we miss the video where you show us exactly where these braces are going. We're racking our brains trying to figure it out. If you hadn't, could you do a little diagram or photo shop something? Keep up the good work.
It's typical that I plugged in my battery for a job on one of our rentals and then watched the video! The tune is Fur Elise BTW. Liking the framing vids, very educational and it's great that you work well together, just like me and my OH, it makes life much easier and I think you both learn lots, we still do this in our ( young at heart) 70's. Bob and Joan
FYI: I use furniture polish on my wood working equipment. I don't know how it will work on timber framing equipment. I spay it on and wipe it off. It allows wood to slide easily over the surface of the equipment and visa-versa. It will help with sap build up removal.
Looks like Melissa is the mortise queen and Jesse is King of the tendons,, Bad ass video tonight. Love the music and all the sawdust making! Y’all rock!! Things are looking good!👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
Oooh Alyssa, you temptress! You, and your London Fog.. Am already in love with milky tea but, the addition of vanilla was, pure genius! For that nugget, I gift you this... Drill and counterbore the hole for fixings, before inserting the angled knee part..
you know, every once in awhile you hear that one song that gets stuck in your head for the day, week, Month... yep battery charger did it ;) thanks Jesse & Alyssa
May I throw out the recommendation for a diablo blade on your Makita Hypoid. It's a HUGE difference in cut quality and you guys will be able to establish a smoother cut. Just a helping tip! Everything looks great!!!
My goodness. Save yourself some work and sharpen that mortiser. Not to mention the safety factor of about lifting yourself off the ground to use it. You've been extremely fortunate to have done all you have without serious injury. Don't screw up your record now.
Guys, before you hook up your power from the grid, add the necessary disconnect breaker and “generator receptacle” so during a power outage you can switch off your main, plug your generator into the receptacle, start the generator, close the generator disconnect breaker.
Did someone mention to sharpen that mortiser chain? 😉 It’s just painful to watch small woman fight against pretty powerful and dangerous machine. Alyssa, you have no idea how much I envy Jesse. You sure are rare breed.
Often with white pine you can stick your framing square to the vertical side of a timber and it will stay there, talk about sticky pitch. We slather on some turpentine and scrap it off. Having to put so much effort into plunging the morticer I wonder if it is getting dull? As for the Center, always base you stuff off an edge or better called the best face or next best face. Yes you can still use lines either centered or set a given off the best or next best face. Good to see a decent bunking system for working on.
Glad to see if everything's going great you said you're going to have grid power which is good in a later project when the house is done are you going to put the solar panels and be good use to repurchase a grid-tie inverter which would put power back to the grid and bring your build them lower this is Justin have a great day and good luck on the house
Never ever drink coffee myself but had occasion this weekend to be at a Starbucks and had my first London Fog. I see why you all are obsessed! Thanks for introducing me to something new.
LOL! Am I the only one who noticed alyssa worked the female joints and jesse worked the male joints? They almost came together in the end. Great job guys!
I could be wrong but, could your electric mortisor needs sharpening?? I can't see why she had to put all her weight on the tool to plung into the soft wood??Or could it be there is too much sap on the chain cutter that create too much resistance??Also i noticed that the cut results seamed ruff not clean and sharp cuts, like your chisels that cuts like a razor.
Nice video, very artistic. The wood is beautiful. Because of the amount of dust you are breathing in, you should consider adding masks. It can really affect you later in life.
Good work on setting up the timber frame station. Alissa said the saw horses were too high. Have you forgotten you can shorten them to half the height? Or was there another problem? BTW the editing on your videos is exceptionally good.
Yeah, the braids look nice, but I can't help but cringe every time I see her bending over close to the power tools with rotating blades and moving chains, etc. If the hanging braid(s) get caught up in the moving apparatus, it would be a severe scalping at best and possibly even more catastrophic. Please make workplace safety a higher priority.
Mark those brace tenons out and put multiple cuts in with your circular saw, then take your hammer bust off the waste and pare down to size with chisel or slick.
Okay, after a few days of listening to it, I would do a stomp dance right on top of that irritating singing battery thing... until it was pancake flat.
FYI: Dual Purpose note" Tiki Candle Oil ( Centronella ) is one of the best bug deterrents/hand cleaners/ grit grime grease and sap removers out there. Personally I keep a small pail in my shop, clean up tools with it..save the used for the tiki candles.
I share the concern of the commenter below regarding the chain morticer - it looks like you need excessive weight on it. Is the chain blunt? Or are the springs just very strong?
Wow, you guys are putting in some long days....You will be able to watch the shadow creep on the valley across from you...what a view you guys have morning and night...
The choices and changes are spot on. Poor Alissa is going to be the dirt monger while jesse flys in the clouds literally. Soil takes time to build and guines eat ticks carrying limes disease. Ducks are herdable Raised pond on hill stand pipe fire douse and hose to garden.
They will eat insects, as far as ticks not likely...insects have to be moving for chickens, if they don't move a chicken will never see it, don't you guys watch Jurassic Park lol...Chickens prefer ground ops/ticks are almost always 2' or higher off the ground.
It looks like have an unpaved driveway you guys could pave the whole driveway with aircrete on the cheap. should get in touch and I could talk you through it. Your good people and could spread the word about aircrete. Thanks the build looks awesome.
Yes it can be sharpened but its a pain in the ass...you have to sharpen across the teeth and the chain tends to twist as the file grabs the tooth....most people will send them away to have them sharpened....but its not cheap.
Jedidiah, Thanks for the informative response. I could see where this is NOT like a chainsaw that can be relatively easy to sharpen. Of course all cutting tools that are sharp are easier and safer to use.
The hair braids look nice, but I can't help but cringe every time I see her bending over close to the power tools with rotating blades and moving chains, etc. If the hanging braid(s) get caught up in the moving apparatus, it would be a severe scalping at best and possibly even more catastrophic.

I was wondering if you could pull out your Plans and show us were these Braces are going within the currently completed Timber Frame structure.
I'm old school and I never thought I would see the day when a portable, cordless power saw could do the job. I stand educated!

The song at the 11 minute mark is “I am falling for you” or at least I think it is. If so it would be by loving caliber feat. Michael Stenmark.
I just have to say I love your Music Guy/Gal. He/She is Does a Fantastic Job.
Looks like Melissa is the mortise queen and Jesse is King of the tendons,, Bad ass video tonight. Love the music and all the sawdust making! Y’all rock!! Things are looking good!👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
Oooh Alyssa, you temptress!
You, and your London Fog..
Am already in love with milky tea but,
the addition of vanilla was, pure genius!
For that nugget, I gift you this...
Drill and counterbore the hole for fixings,
before inserting the angled knee part..
I can honestly write that I feel fatigued just watching you two work! Well done! Thanks for sharing this!
you know, every once in awhile you hear that one song that gets stuck in your head for the day, week, Month... yep battery charger did it ;) thanks Jesse & Alyssa
May I throw out the recommendation for a diablo blade on your Makita Hypoid. It's a HUGE difference in cut quality and you guys will be able to establish a smoother cut. Just a helping tip! Everything looks great!!!
Thanks again, looks like rocket science on the layout

A little saying from the UK: More Power to Your Elbow: Love what you are doing

You guys are absolutely killing it! Right on!
You guys are doing great !!! Keep it up and putting videos out
Blue Sky- Sunshine! And LLysa! What else does a guy need!!
Nice video. Good teamwork on the timber frame. Great channel.

If you have a need to make mortises in beams; that chain mostiser is without question a life changing tool.
Fun fact.
You know you can switch the music on the Makita charger by pushing in and out the battery when inserting it into the charger.
Excellent music choice!!
Well done! Thanks for sharing this!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Glad to see if everything's going great you said you're going to have grid power which is good in a later project when the house is done are you going to put the solar panels and be good use to repurchase a grid-tie inverter which would put power back to the grid and bring your build them lower this is Justin have a great day and good luck on the house
It is good to see you guys back at it again. Slow and steady wins the race.
Great work you guys! Those new timbers are going to look awesome on the outside of the house. Great hat too 😉
It's good to see you guys working on wood!
Nice progress, but - that electric chiselmachine definitely needs sharpening, you can see it from the chips.
I liked the music that kicked in around 11:00!
Never ever drink coffee myself but had occasion this weekend to be at a Starbucks and had my first London Fog. I see why you all are obsessed! Thanks for introducing me to something new.
LOL! Am I the only one who noticed alyssa worked the female joints and jesse worked the male joints? They almost came together in the end. Great job guys!
louisv8817
No shit. I didn't notice that great catch...lol!
Great video guys keep up the good work
You should double check the squareness of your new wormdrive with a carpenter square. Can't always trust the machines gauge.
Great work again folks, keep up the great videos.
I have been pondering over how to get those up that high I was thinking use a chain hoist and I bet you guys are happy about getting electric
Does the chain mortiser need to be sharpened?
ZZ Top and Timber Framing. Good choice!
that Makita saw is amazing, especially compared to the first 3-1/2" 9.6V I had. My local tool guy claims it will do 500 2x4 cuts on a charge!
Another great video. I enjoy watching you guys. Keep the great work...can’t wait to see the next clip...👊.
Cool love the work you guys are doing really cool.
Not sure if you were doing it, but for a centred mortice, just turn the machine around rather than adjusting it.
I really like how this video was edited, great job and look forward to more.
I absolutely love what you guys are doing
Y'all are awesome! Consistent power is always an asset during a build! That's exciting!

Outstanding work , thank you for sharing , Oh and I like the music too ')

Really liked the music. I've never heard it before.
I love the braids Alyssa
Yeah, the braids look nice, but I can't help but cringe every time I see her bending over close to the power tools with rotating blades and moving chains, etc. If the hanging braid(s) get caught up in the moving apparatus, it would be a severe scalping at best and possibly even more catastrophic.

Very nice video! GOD bless. JC
Yay... looking GREAT!!!!
Again, VERY cool angles and POV with the cameras! Watch the tear-out Jesse! Even though it won't matter where it happened. ;)
ooooh, power. Looking forward to seeing that video.
I wonder if its just a temporary mast and panel...as they don't seem ready for a complete hook up....
LOVE that music!!!!!!!!
Mark those brace tenons out and put multiple cuts in with your circular saw, then take your hammer bust off the waste and pare down to size with chisel or slick.
Nope...
From the looks of those chips the chain badly needs to be sharpened... It's no different from any other chainsaw in that respect!
Nice wood! When the power comes keep the solar and grid tie you will save alot of money!
Really cool and good vid!
How often do you sharpen the chain on the chain mortiser? Do you use the same tools as you do on your chainsaws?
Great job Guys.
Question: If you were to start over again, would you go for solely Makita or Milwaukee power tools?
Okay, after a few days of listening to it, I would do a stomp dance right on top of that irritating singing battery thing... until it was pancake flat.
if your makita charger is like mine if you insert and remove the battery quickly you can change the sound it makes.
Lucky ducky! Snow here even on so. side up to knees and I am tall😄. Just Spring fever talking. Glad you’ve got some help.
Great job guys.

Never met a guy who wanted to smell like Citronella before....
I share the concern of the commenter below regarding the chain morticer - it looks like you need excessive weight on it. Is the chain blunt? Or are the springs just very strong?
Pure Living For Life do you plan to add a greenhouse or garden in the near future and the videos are spectacular 👌📹
I am jealous....freezing cold and snowing right now. Bummer. Spring???? :-)
yeah, same here, must be the 'Global warming'...
Good job !!!👍👍👍
Keep on going !✌
Shouldn't you sharpen the mortise chain?
My thought as well. It doesn't SEEM like it should be that hard to do the plunge. Is that normal?
Wow, you guys are putting in some long days....You will be able to watch the shadow creep on the valley across from you...what a view you guys have morning and night...
Super nice both of you
great video, like the background music selection.
The choices and changes are spot on. Poor Alissa is going to be the dirt monger while jesse flys in the clouds literally. Soil takes time to build and guines eat ticks carrying limes disease. Ducks are herdable

Jessie that Markita saw is impressive
Great job guys! Nice work!
The Doug Bernards of timber framing.
Do you ever sharpen the chane on the Mordisor ?
BOndo works well as a mass wood filler, it is comparitively cheaper than simple wood filler or epoxy.
Though I wouldn't need them being retired, I really really like the chisels...
It looks like have an unpaved driveway you guys could pave the whole driveway with aircrete on the cheap. should get in touch and I could talk you through it. Your good people and could spread the word about aircrete. Thanks the build looks awesome.
Just saying if you need all your wait to push down on the mortiser I think it need sharpening
You will do it! Thanks for sharing. Anybody know if the chain on the Chain Mortiser can be sharpened or replaced?
Yes it can be sharpened but its a pain in the ass...you have to sharpen across the teeth and the chain tends to twist as the file grabs the tooth....most people will send them away to have them sharpened....but its not cheap.
Jedidiah, Thanks for the informative response. I could see where this is NOT like a chainsaw that can be relatively easy to sharpen. Of course all cutting tools that are sharp are easier and safer to use.
Did the battery charger just play green sleeves when it was done charging ? How cool is that ! Enjoy the vids
Love the vids
The hair braids look nice, but I can't help but cringe every time I see her bending over close to the power tools with rotating blades and moving chains, etc. If the hanging braid(s) get caught up in the moving apparatus, it would be a severe scalping at best and possibly even more catastrophic. Please make workplace safety a higher priority.
You cringe everytime she bends over, you're not human! Sorry Alyssa I couldn't let this one go bye!
YYEEESSS!!! JOINERY IF DONE RIGHT IS STRONG AS HELL!!!
Seems like your mortiser could use a sharpening??
several have said to sharpen the chain mortiser .... leads me to ask how often do you sharpen it??? it is a chainsaw blade correct?
Not really, its a chain with teeth but not like a chainsaw chain....and its a pain to sharpen....
Sounds like you will get commercial power to your property soon. Good news!
