Not that often that someone would run outside for a tornado warning but that thing could be a storm shelter! Ain't going nowhere in a storm! Nice work Adam!
I love the look of those timber frame projects. I’ve seen some great front house entry additions in that same style. It’s definitely the fanciest firewood sale stand I’ve ever seen.
I believe the benefit to this new firewood stand extends well beyond having a structure to stand up to the elements and more options to arrange the wood but it is also much more pleasing to the eye and professional looking. I think you will see sales increase significantly. Perhaps you can report on that in a few months. Possibly add some solar led lights to illuminate it at night.
Nice project. Good to get experience on something that doesn't matter if you make a small mistake or decide that you would like it done differently. Projects with Dad will always be remembered. I was surprised the skid steer post hole auger worked as well as it did. I have learned to just leave the dirt on the auger and go to the next hole. It helps keep the dirt in fewer places and gives a little extra dirt on the rest of the holes if you aren't filling the hole with concrete. You and neighbor Doug make a good team
Your firewood stand has a more substantial foundation than my 36’x60’ barn, which is sitting on fieldstone pretty much on the ground surface (and has lasted 200 years so far) 😆. The timberframe just moves with the ground. Having jacked sections up, it’s amazing how flexible and how strong it is.
Awesomeness! That’s a firewood stand. Love the Milwaukee tooling I have started my collection as well cheers my friend. And of course good oh neighbour Doug cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Great video - short and sweet. Also, cool entry with the "Hometown Acres" intro - very nice touch! Can't wait to see the end result. One other thing - with all those hand tools - I have an excuse to upgrade my stuff to your selection!
That's not going to blow over!! 💪👍💪 You give us such great videos!! The timing on this one is perfect! We're fixing to build one for a patio cover for our daughter!! God bless you and your family!! ❤️🙏❤️ Loved Doug's camera "yes"!!!
@HometownAcres I'm not sure yet. We were going to attach it to the house, but after seeing your frame, we decided to make it freestanding. We're going to put tin for the roof.👍 Thanks for the idea!! ⭐️👍
Nice presentation today good job. Looking forward to seeing whether it will offer both stacked and bundled or just stacked. Will you offer kindling also? And the total capacity ? A cord ? More? Hope to see the way over built steel in concrete money container .
Premium firewood stand for premium firewood, I am just old with cancer and a blown out back, in my younger healthier days I was a perfectionist also, looks sharp and will last a long time
I built a two sided stand also and you're right, no one ever goes to the backside unless the front is empty. I'm planning to redo mine also, although it survived both storms just fine, but i want to keep it modular.
linky no worky.....at least for me. Just takes me to all your products. I didn't see the stain. Nice project.....hope to be doing some outdoor projects with white oak👍
Just a hint for doing concrete work. Before using your bucket or shovel simply spray them heavily with either fuel oil or diesel fuel. This makes cleanup extremely easy especially if you are working doing several yards of concrete. Regarding posts coming into contact with the ground or being submerged use regular roofing tar to coat them heavily letting them dry just a bit. Also for what you are doing you might the Japanese technique Shou Sugi Ban where you lightly char the wood as this helps in preserving the wood against rot, parasites, and bacterial and invasive parasites looking for the lignin within the wood upon which to feed. You can then use an oil based stain to finish the wood off. You might also want to put a wood post cap on any posts that will be exposed on top to help them shed the water. cheap insurance for longer lasting timbers.
You might think about changing the screws on the base. If they are regular screws you have to worry about them rusting and breaking over time. Maybe a small lag screw.
I'm assuming you also checked with your town regulations on minimum setbacks for the new installation since it's fixed to the ground now with concrete and not a mobile temporary structure. That thing would lease out for a few grand a month in the big city unfurnished.
@@HometownAcres Hey, so long as that fits within their requirements I'm happy to believe it. Where I live the *temporary* designation would only exempt structures held down by gravity alone whether wheeled or not which is why I wondered. Glad yours is good there.
That almost looks to good for a firewood stand. It does look great. Also concrete needs to cure for 30 days before you put anchors in it if there not set when wet.
good job and video it is over built by a lot really looks good. a road side wood stand would never work here they would steal all the wood. they don't put drink boxes out side here any more they totaled them, got all the drinks and money out . a black kid was killed when he turned in over on him family sued and got a lot of money. i am glad it's a lot better there take care, be safe and well.
Michael S, you’re missing the value. The value of this project isn’t the cost. It’s the practice that he got, that practice will give him confidence to build a shed or an out building which will save him thousands. He also benefits by having a nice roadside stand that isn’t like the many others. Also, as one person stated it could also be used a bus stop for his kiddos when they get older. Value doesn’t always come in the form of money. The best value is knowledge, pride and self-worth. He got all 3 in this video.
I would of just dumped the dry concrete mix into the holes and sprayed with water on top. Just as affective if not more when it comes to putting in posts or fencing. The concrete will drew in as much moisture as needed.
Is neighbor Doug a drug dealer or something? There is no way a 40 + year old on Social Security disability for hurting himself has the property, house, $200k + in equipment makes sense.
Sorry Dude... Butt joints are an inferior and lazy way of building... Ya it looks great, but traditional timber framing consists of mortise and tenons. You're relying on the shear strength of just the lags. Gotta quit your channel... You're cutting way too many corners on your projects between burying the sill plates of your north wall of your garage to your current project. Take the time and do it right.

Instead of a metal roof, have you considered overlaping live edge slabs that are otherwise waste?
Theses would also be attractive IMHO.
@@martinwyke That is an interesting idea!

Nice work Adam!

It looks so nice driving by it! Nice work!!!
Excellent work, I remember the first time Mike Morgan visited you. I have been watching ever since. You channel has come a long way, keep on rockin...
Self serve roadside stands says a lot about the goodness of our culture.
Very nice job, gentlemen! Treasure the time with your Dad. It's gone all too quickly! Be well, be safe!
Truer words were never spoken.
Savor the moments working with Pops!
Doug,Adam,Dad and take the first letter in each name and then put them together and they spell DAD ❤team work 😊
Nice work Adam, Adam’s dad, and neighbor Doug. That was fun. Should be quite an upgrade from the original stand.
Overkill? Yes. However like you said it looks awesome and you get practice working with 6x6s. 👍🏼
Timberframe roadside stand! Love it!

Amazing job Adam, Adams Dad and Doug. Great item
Looking great so far!
You ought to build one up by the pond and hang some swings or a bench from it!
ADAM, looks great. Eventually yinz may be using it also for a school bus stop when the kids get older. It'll definitely hold up for years to come!
A future pergola down by the pond perhaps🤔...Really nice job on the stand...can't beat timber framing!👍
Roadside stand is looking good! I’m with you, I really like the timber frame look
The intro/logo is really nice as well 👌🏻
Nice work Adam, Dad, & Doug.
I also love the sound of an impact driver/wrench.
Nice project. Good to get experience on something that doesn't matter if you make a small mistake or decide that you would like it done differently. Projects with Dad will always be remembered.

very elegant design and execution
Be careful! Doug is going to want an upgrade soon! Looks great Adam!
Can’t wait to see the finished product 👌👍
Nice work guys. My overall favorite tool is my impact drill. Love the addition of the outro, too!
Great start! Looking good. Can't wait to see the finished product.
Awesomeness! That’s a firewood stand. Love the Milwaukee tooling I have started my collection as well cheers my friend. And of course good oh neighbour Doug cheers 👌🏻🔥🇨🇦
Outstanding job guys, you will probably sell a lot of Fire Wood out of this one.
Cannot wait to see this as a completed unit!
Absolutely beautiful unit!
Great video - short and sweet. Also, cool entry with the "Hometown Acres" intro - very nice touch! Can't wait to see the end result. One other thing - with all those hand tools - I have an excuse to upgrade my stuff to your selection!
Looking real good Adam. Going to be beautiful.
That'll be really nice!
I love 12:25 when the top beam clacks into place. Very satisfying to hear and see that fit perfectly. Good job!
Fantastic job. Looks very sturdy.
Very nicely overbuilt!👍
Turned out great! I love the timber frame!
That's not going to blow over!! 💪👍💪 You give us such great videos!! The timing on this one is perfect! We're fixing to build one for a patio cover for our daughter!! God bless you and your family!! ❤️🙏❤️
Loved Doug's camera "yes"!!!
That’s exciting. How big are you going to make it?
@HometownAcres I'm not sure yet. We were going to attach it to the house, but after seeing your frame, we decided to make it freestanding. We're going to put tin for the roof.👍 Thanks for the idea!! ⭐️👍
Looks awesome!!
Nice trick with the rebar levelers. going to be a beauty stand.
Nice presentation today good job.
Looking forward to seeing whether it will offer both stacked and bundled or just stacked.
Will you offer kindling also?
And the total capacity ?
A cord ?
More?
Hope to see the way over built steel in concrete money container .
Nice work. I enjoy your channel
Awesome! Thank you!
Pretty darn close to sturdy on the Amish scale😊😊😊
Interesting indeed
Looking good
Things that will survive the apocalypse: Cockroaches, kudzu, and Adam's roadside firewood stand.
Hahaha
Hahahaha. That’s funny
He definitely built it well
Premium firewood stand for premium firewood, I am just old with cancer and a blown out back, in my younger healthier days I was a perfectionist also, looks sharp and will last a long time
Awesome job lads
Don’t forget the perlins!!! The RUclips perlin police will never let you live it down!!! 😂 Looks great Adam!
Great Video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love it!
Looks great. Good job.
I built a two sided stand also and you're right, no one ever goes to the backside unless the front is empty. I'm planning to redo mine also, although it survived both storms just fine, but i want to keep it modular.
So ,half as shallow but twice as wide is a better design in your opinion?
Impressive
Yolo good morning everyone
linky no worky.....at least for me. Just takes me to all your products. I didn't see the stain. Nice project.....hope to be doing some outdoor projects with white oak👍
Try it again. I forgot to add to the list
Everyone needs a neighbor Doug
Let's all move in between them both , woo hoo !
Nice Intro!!!!
Good one Adam, I love that people copied you, it’s just a new market for you to sell 6x6’s to!

Enjoyed the video. Curious on the pond status/update
We’ll be doing one soon
Doug needs to make a coupler for the auger so you can use an excavator.
Did you consider using grounds screws rather than the concrete?
You have diagonal bracing in one direction but not in the other. You need bracing in both directions for this application.
That bracing is just temporary at the moment
0:45 A cliffhanger from the start - but I have hope for the Little Red Tractor....
You need to buy a hind quarter of beef,for the Steaks you now owe Dad,an Doug for the help again. 😊
Safe to say that will not be blowing over in a light breeze. :)
Mike Morgan is going to have you come build his 😂
So do you use the Honor system for payment? and how does that work out?
Yes we do and we’ve only ever had 1 rack of wood stolen in 2 years
Its funny that he stopped u to clear the dirt i have to do that when i drill with my little 5/8ths bit lol
I'm assuming you also checked with your town regulations on minimum setbacks for the new installation since it's fixed to the ground now with concrete and not a mobile temporary structure. That thing would lease out for a few grand a month in the big city unfurnished.
24 screws and I can detach it from the concrete and move it elsewhere
@@HometownAcres Hey, so long as that fits within their requirements I'm happy to believe it. Where I live the *temporary* designation would only exempt structures held down by gravity alone whether wheeled or not which is why I wondered. Glad yours is good there.
Yup, as they say “That ain’t going anywhere “.
Did you mill the 6 x 6’s? They look really good.
I did
That almost looks to good for a firewood stand. It does look great. Also concrete needs to cure for 30 days before you put anchors in it if there not set when wet.
Did you get a building permit for the wood stand?
I didn’t know you were building a tornado shelter, I thought it was a firewood shelter?

Great job, Adam! Looks like you got a bit of sun too. Your face is almost as red as the pencil on your ear!
Yeah it was hot and sunmy
Nice little shack if you get kicked out😅,it ain't going anywhere
The moment you realize that you've bought a $2000 safe to store your $1000 in cash.
I milled all the lumber myself. About $100 in timber locks, lag screws, and construction screws, $55 in stain, and $60 in concrete.
@@HometownAcres Oh I know. I watch every video. But I was referring more to the value of the product, not the cost. Love your channel so much!!!!!
