Great looking structure. It’s so cool to build something with minimal purchases from a lumber yard. I built a similar structure to provide cover for my boat. You’d looks great! Cheers, Rog
That is an impressive build! In the last video, I saw you pushing logs on top with the tip of your fingers... now I see you use your head, literally! Lol! That was good to have the top lid of the grapple to reach as high. Well done!
I might consider chainsaw milling the ridge beam to shave off some weight and make a 1/2 hue log. Seeing that I don't have any tractors or help when building. lol
@@backinthewoods2022 I'll be building a lean to shed with logs for wood and a camper storage. Blow down logs are common in my area after a storm and people will give them away.
Do you let it dry . Or is it ok to use it fresh? Are you worried about rot or termites? It looks awesome. I'd like to build something similar. But I don't know enough about the longevity. I know the Amish do something similar
Mine dried for a year but I have done others that were fresh I don’t think it matters. I put used oil everywhere that was going underground. Tamarack that I used are naturally rot resistant I think it’s going to last a very long time. My roof sheds the water away from the posts no standing water on them
Are those 3/8 spike nails? They look thinner and I've looked everywhere and can't find 8-12" nails that are thinner than 3/8's. Sometimes I need to lock timbers together that a 3/8 might split.
Whoa! What happens when those 10" spikes get rusty? Depending on a single metal spike per joint in a top heavy building without mortise and tenon joints, and without knee braces is a disaster waiting to happen! Scares the hell out of me!
Fear not everything running front to back is braced with 45s and everything running side to side is braced by the rafters. Additionally the whole thing is tied together by the purlins and the metal roof. The posts are 48” under ground and cupped at the top for the beams to sit on. I don’t see the nails rusting through in my grandkids lifetime since they are under roof.
Awesome build! Did you set the post in the ground in concrete or just put them in the ground? And did you treat the wood with anything before you put it in the ground for moisture?
Love the combo of old school logs along with much faster technique than m&t joints! Gonna build something very similar. Thanks for the inspiration!
Cool hope it helps👍

Good job! Strong man!
You are a beast! Great job!
Great video start !!! LOVE THE BIG BOY STEAM LOCOMOTIVE !!! Great work for the timber frame !!! Keep up the good work both of you !!! Cheers !!!
looks really good Kirk, a lot of hard work, but worth it.
Great job
Kept waiting for you to take a break swinging that hammer, nope. A sawmill would be a pretty sweet addition to the place.
Great videos.. glad i found your channel !!
Mark thanks man nice to hear
This so cool, I just subscribed
Thanks

Are you also building one like this? You can do a lot with a come along

I would have drill a pilot hole for those nails but I’m lazy lol
Pure brut force!👍
Wax or soap the screw threads. Goes in like butter.
Ross Lumayko I will try that thanks man

I’m not sure bought them at menards they are pretty thick though
Cool video but I don’t have tractor to help lift. Do you think I could do similar build with smaller Timbers?
Yes, absolutely
Great!
How long posts in ground lives? rotting before?
Around 42”
2 years and no rot
What is the nail called?? Thank you

I bet those spikes last longer than the logs.
Will you add the wind braces somehow?
I have added corner bracing on the four corners is all. Thanks for watching
Awesome build! Did you set the post in the ground in concrete or just put them in the ground? And did you treat the wood with anything before you put it in the ground for moisture?
I painted them with used motor oil before I placed them in the ground
I also let them soak it in the wood for a day before dropping them in
Can somebody giveme an height estimate of the logs from the ground to the ceiling
About 7 feet about 10 in the middle
@@backinthewoods2022 Thanks for the answer, have a nice day!
What did you treat the posts with?
Old used motor oil
I lie this pole shop. Are they telephone poles??
No they are tamarack trees from our land a conifer that loses its needles in the winter. They grow very straight and are naturally rot resistant.
Jesus, dudes a machine! I go back and nearly kill myself after logging 20 trees.
Awesome !! keep these video’s coming.
Thanks! Will do!
