Just Found the Channel Absolutely Hollywood 10/10 not just great vision but to make that vision a Reality , stay safe Guys keep up the great work Perth Australia
You’re doing a great job guys! I can’t make a popsicle stick building 🤣🤣🤣 Your learning a lot. The only advice I have is using a post base on concrete with a wood beam. I’m enjoying watching the progress. Stay safe!
Hi Guy's, My wife and I love watching your videos, we're a couple from the North East of England, we found your channel a couple of months ago, and really enjoy it. We like the playful dynamics between you guys, mixed with the serious Work ethic you seem to have. How about doing a short video properly introducing yourselves, names etc (For example, is everyone we see related? We notice a couple of younger kids appear every now and then, and an older guy, are these younger siblings and your Dad maybe?) You could take the opportunity to explain your back story, how you came to be where you are, maybe a panoramic drone footage of your whole homestead (It looks huge) What you all do (..or did) for a living? You seem very accomplished builders, are you professionally trained? I really think people would love to hear all about you guys. Take care fellas and keep up the good work..
Ya’ll are doing a wonderful job. I’m enjoying it … couple of notes ( being a structural designer vertical members are called columns horizontal members are beams ( even if the material is exactly the same ) everything else that run diagonally are braces both horizontal and vertical
Thank you for the input, it’s much appreciated! we do often get our terminology wrong but are continuously trying to learn and get better, thanks for watching!
Amazing progress! Can't wait to se what you have planned for door designs. Hope you've got something with clavos in mind (the iron nails that you see around the perimeter of period doors)!
@thechadwick22 Thanks! Doors and windows we’re actually going to keep somewhat simple. The doors will have windows on them and we’ll have a bunch of large windows in the entrance area to let as much light in as possible and also give it a slightly modern looking touch.
Hello W. Brother's Please make longer Videos! I like it a lot what you doing and its coming a long very beautiful. Have a good one Daniel from Switzerland
@suchoi61 Hello Daniel! We do plan on making longer videos and showing or explaining things with more detail. Still trying to figure out this whole video/recording thing but we’ll get there. Thanks for following along!
Never mind. I just read your reply to GoBearstyJpyn. I agree that the connection looks really nice and clean without any conventional flashing. I hope it doesn't leak from water running down the wall. Expansion and contraction of the roof is liable to play hell with a caulked joint, or maybe not. Time will tell.
Yeah fingers crossed it doesn’t leak. There is ice and water running up the stone slightly beneath the caulk so an extra layer of protection will hopefully help. The caulk we used is also made for large commercial buildings so not your average hardware store caulk.
Hi @ralfjr 1. Bowties would look cool but we ended up ledger locking together the few big cracks and orienting them in a way not so visible from where someone would typically be standing. 2. ZIP sheathing is not a bad idea however we’ll likely match the second floor with the top floor and use 3/4” plywood with old barnwood tongue and groove on top to finish it. We’ll see how this looks in the next video. Thanks for watching!

Typically an end wall trim is used but because it base a convex curve, it did not work well so we ended up cutting the metal very good to match up almost exactly to the silo and then coupled the small gap between them, we do also have ice and water beneath the room with is sealed directly to the silo so it does have a “secondary” sealer if the caulk ever failed, thanks for watching
Nice project, just found it. In case of horizontal load, the rafters will have the tendency to push away from the Silo. What did you do to prevent this to happen.
The angle support joist that connect to the king post and primary rafters are lag bolted together so they essentially prevent the rafters from buckling out, great question and thanks for watching!
I hope you didn't set those posts directly on the concrete slab without some type of capillary break. The moisture from the concrete will wick up and rot out those timbers if you didn't. And it won't take long in your climate.
We did seal the bottom of the posts with a marine grade water proof sealer. This main entrance area will be enclosed and once that's done we’ll come back and caulk around the bottom of the posts so no water will get underneath. Hopefully that’s enough to prevent rotting but we’ll keep an eye on it. Thanks for watching!
Thank you! We really only have drawings of the roofs, everything else we have been basically sketching out on scratch paper as we go but happy to share those if needed!
Here’s what I think, since you asked….those large beams should not be sitting on the concrete. You used the wrong type of bottom brackets. Theo roof wasn’t planned well so you ended with a rib almost at the end of the roof, making it header to cut a strip for ending it. There no covers at the sides on the rake boards, and I didn’t see any type of seal at the upper side to keep water from running down the side of the building and under the metal. There needs to be flashing there. I see you also put blocking between the rafters which is something you failed to do on the upper roof.
Thank you for your feedback, Some things we did do but didn’t t show: we did seal the beams with a marine grade sealer before installing and the concrete is sealed as well, we do caulk around the base of the beams to prevent water from getting underneath. We used two stainless steel L brackets to mount the beams but there are alternative options but these will hold the beams especially when the walls are built. Our gable trims are low profile so we had to carefully plan it out so the edge of the gable trim didn’t interfere with a rib which meant lining a rib right on the edge. We did try doing a flashing where the metal met the silo but it did not look good because we had to cut slits to fit around the curve so we ended up doing ice and water and also caulking it with a high performance caulk, the blocking on the upper roof was done this weekend actually and will be shown in the next video, those were more intricate cuts so they took us a little more time, Thanks for watching and let us know if you have any other questions!
@@Worzalla_Brothersgreat job guys! Some people just can’t put two and two together and their imaginations just aren’t capable of visualizing the intricate details. As a carpenter I know what’s done off camera it’s easy to imagine, and I know guys like you would never let it go without the much needed steps we don’t see on camera. Silo is looking great! Can’t wait to see its completion.
We used a marine grade sealer on these beams before installing them and will also be caulking around the bottom to keep water from getting underneath (concrete also has a sealer on it), thanks for watching!
@tracyknox8703 sorry about that. We’re not too familiar with all the correct terminology. Learning as we go but thanks for the feedback. We’ll try to get it right next time. Thanks for watching!
We did seal the bottom of these beams and concrete is sealed as well and once walls are up we will be caulking around the base so it should be water tight in the end, thanks for watching!
Understood, we’ll try to incorporate more tool noises. It was very windy working in this video which ruined a lot of the sounds but we’ll see what we can do in the next videos. Thanks!
@PeterLee-zn3jl haha yeah those would've helped. A lot of times we’ll just use what we have around and make it work. Glad the boards we used held up against the wind!

For just wingin' it you are doing a fantastic job. As a carpenter for almost 50 years I am impressed by your work, keep it up !
@lancemumford3106 Awesome to hear you’ve been a carpenter for that long. We’ve got a lot to learn but we’ll get there. Thanks for following along!

It’s nice to hear young guys with my accent. I thought it was dying out
What accent is dying out? 😂
@@montialarson Wisconsin
You guys are professionals, and I really like the determination you guys put into your craftsmanship. Great Work.
Thank you, much appreciated!
For not knowing the terminology yall sure do know what you are doing!!! Beautiful!
lol thank you and God Bless!
Love it!!!! You guys look like professionals.
Thanks, we try our best to!

It’s great watching you guys at work. Good job.
i think you are brilliant. its, a joy watching the videos. keep building.
Thanks, will do!
Badass. I love the old school big beams and joinery. These would be a perfect fit for any middle-aged building in Europe.
Thank you, we just started getting into timber framing and really enjoy it, it truly is a timeless form of carpentry, thanks for watching!
Amazing progress! Can't wait to se what you have planned for door designs. Hope you've got something with clavos in mind (the iron nails that you see around the perimeter of period doors)!

It’s looking really good guys - coming together nicely. Bravo.
Thanks you!
Great project and efforts to match
Thanks!
These young men are great carpenters and architects.
Thank you very much, we appreciate it!
I'm hooked on your content, bros! Keep it up, your channel will catch fire!
Fabulous!

1) I saw people fixing big cracks in the wood like you have with wood bowtie joinery.
2) Maybe you could use ZIP sheathing for the floor.
Hi @ralfjr
1. Bowties would look cool but we ended up ledger locking together the few big cracks and orienting them in a way not so visible from where someone would typically be standing.

Very good job! Great
show the weatherproofing/flashing details between silo and roof.... never really understand how that is done...thx

Not professionals? That entryway is built better than my whole house.
Thank you! We do put a lot of effort into our work but there is always some room for improvement!

Wont those cracks in the beams cause problems later?

And that Scarf joint will collect and trap water.

Scarf joint was glued and sealed with a marine grade sealer so we are hoping that will stop a majority of the water, thanks!

@@SuperDave44Mag Thank you!
What about the endgrain sucking up water as they sit on the concrete.
We used a marine grade sealer on these beams before installing them and will also be caulking around the bottom to keep water from getting underneath (concrete also has a sealer on it), thanks for watching!
How is the metal roofing flashed against the masonry wall?
What software do you use for modelling?
It’s called Shapr 3D. Thanks for watching!
В прошлом что это было?
It was an old fieldstone silo so it was used to store grain and other field harvest in the past.
At 4:45 seconds column is referred to as “ Beam”. Incorrect identification
@tracyknox8703 sorry about that. We’re not too familiar with all the correct terminology. Learning as we go but thanks for the feedback. We’ll try to get it right next time. Thanks for watching!
👏👏👏👏👍👍
Are the beams in direct contact with concrete?
I noticed that as well. Using a post base would be a better option.
Other than that, you guys do a fantastic job.
We did seal the bottom of these beams and concrete is sealed as well and once walls are up we will be caulking around the base so it should be water tight in the end, thanks for watching!
Thanks! Ya we do seal beams and concrete and also caulk around the base as well
Vertical beam -- ISNT THAT A POST..? Lol
Haha ya you are correct, we often get our terminology wrong with some of this stuff but are learning as we go! Thanks for watching!
ce que j'aime pas, c'est la musique , c'est pas nécessaire, on veut entendre le bruit des outils
Understood, we’ll try to incorporate more tool noises. It was very windy working in this video which ruined a lot of the sounds but we’ll see what we can do in the next videos. Thanks!
14:30 or so - Not pros!! BS!! If not I can't imagine who would be and hate to think they could do better!
Ever heard of WIND BRACES..? LOL
@PeterLee-zn3jl haha yeah those would've helped. A lot of times we’ll just use what we have around and make it work. Glad the boards we used held up against the wind!
This make no sense you could have made a Balcony. But you could have got more space and had a nice place to sit but you made a high door cover
Stay tuned! We are building a second floor on this entry way which will have a spiral staircase as well! Thanks for watching!
