Your parents must be so proud of you, I am. If I had one iota of your talent, I would build my house exactly the way you're doing it. Subbed and looking forward to you finishing the cabin.
This video is perfect, I am planning like a pavilion, very similar to this, I haven't watched how you do the floor, but I was thinking to do just the same, make joists out of nice thick timbers and half-lap them into the sill beams like you have done, no joist hangers or pegs required and looks super sturdy. Am definitely going with that solution now! Do you treat this wood in any way, as it will mostly be covered from the elements? The beams you have down so far in this video, I mean.
It’s a good deal of work, but the joists are super sturdy! I didn’t make a specific video for the floor, but I just went with a very basic tongue and groove pine floor. If this were. cabin or home, I would have put a sub floor down first. For a pavilion, some exterior decking boards would work well. I didn’t treat my lumber as it’s far up off the ground and will be covered for it’s lifetime. A lot of folks will use an oil mixture to protect their beams. Good luck on your pavilion!
Hi Nic, nice work. Really enjoying these so far. Why do some of the timber’s have variations in the colour and texture of the wood? There are areas and streaks of really pale, white, in the wood.
Glad you’re enjoying the build! I’m working with fresh cut green wood. The streaks you see on some of the logs are surface mildew that grows on the wood as it dries out slowly. I’ll use a card scraper to remove it all once the frame is raised and it’s out of the rain.
Very inspiring videos, thank you. This is the second time I've watched them. I was just wondering how did you connect the sill plates to the concrete piers? Keep up the great work
@@NicTaylorWoodworking Very cool. I have family near Knoxville i visit every now and then. I didn’t know if you did already but it would be neat if you did timber-framing workshops. Anyhow, thanks for the vids. Informative and enjoyable.
Hey Daniel! I sunk a galvanized anchor into the concrete when it was still wet. I then drilled holes in a 2x8 that sat on the pillers and were attached to the galvanized anchors. Once the foundation was in place, i climbed under the frame and screwed the 2x8 to the bottom of the sill plates. it’s have further connection when i put up the siding, as i’ll also screw the bottom of the siding into the 2x8. Hopefully that makes sense.
Hi My name is Ali from Kurd iraak Please could you learn me how to make a window sliding from which wood and step by step(sorry Iam not explane and no good enough English language
Was looking for this comment. It was bugging me so much. I understand the method and trying to challenge oneself, but sometimes time is important, and a luxury you can't afford to lose. The saw would save so much time. But....I do things the hard way sometimes just because u feel I have more control over the end results
AMAZING craftmanship. Not only clever construction but very enjoyable. It inspires all of us to get out and do something with our hands. To make something handmade and not industrial fabricated.
This looks like it's going to be my new favorite timber frame series. Excellent work! I even picked up a new trick from these videos. Your video production values are amazing. I really enjoyed this. Plus, I'm an avid board game nerd, so your dice tray video resonated with me, as well.
Thanks! I’m using Southern Pine. I called local lumber yards and saw mills in my area until I found one that could cut the sizes I was looking for. it was actually much easier than I thought it would be. I sent them a lost of what I was looking for, and they delivered it to my house a few weeks later. Hopefully that helps!
I used some treated 2x8’s I had lying around. I attached them to bolts I sunk in the concrete, and then attached the timber frame by driving lag bolts up through the bottom of the 2x8 into the 8x8 sills. Hopefully that helps!
Hey, Dmitry! I attached a 2x8 along the concrete piers by sinking steel bolts into the concrete before it dried. Once the 8x8 sill plates were in place, i drilled lag bolts up through the bottom of the 2x8 into the 8x8. Hopefully that makes sense! Cheers!
@@NicTaylorWoodworking out of curiosity, why not just bolt the sill plate directly to the pier (i.e. why is the 2x8 beneath the sill plate necessary)? Thanks!
@@andrewtruschel3228 The main reason is for installation of the sills. Imagine trying to fit the tenons and mortises together while also trying to drop the whole structure onto perfectly aligned bolts that are sunk into the piers. Especially working alone, it’s easier to fit a 2x8 onto the piers and then slide the sills on top. Hopefully that makes sense. Cheers!

Awesome video. Every time I work with wood, or watch a tree sway in the wind, I am in awe of what an amazing thing wood is.
I think the same thing. Truly an amazing material
These videos are so well produced and a delight to watch. Super relaxing and inspiring. You’re on to something here. Keep going!
Thanks, Aaron! I really appreciate it.
I can't even explain how much I needed this very chill and relaxing video today. It's coming together!!! I can't wait to see the next one :)
dude, ‘chill’ is exactly what we all need this week

Wow, that’s such a kind thing for you to say. I’m glad you’re enjoying the vids and I’m happy to have you along for the journey!
Beautiful work
Great video! I needed this relaxing content today ;-) Can't wait to see how the timber frame turns out!
You and me both!
Nic you do some amazing work. Great videos. Can't wait to see more!
Thanks dude! Really stoked for this project to take shape
Beautiful work! Looking forward to see how this progress, good luck!
Thanks!
well dang, now
i want to timber build a work shop.
Definitely recommend. It’s a ton of work, but so satisfying!
@@NicTaylorWoodworking i need a house first. But im a carpenter by trade and finished a full apprenticeship. Itd be a nice relaxing weekend project
Perfect work
Thank you! Cheers!
Great visuals get me keen to build something
Glad the video helps get the creative wheels turning
those crickets 👌
I know dude, I love working outside

How does the timber frame plate sit on top off the bolt? Did you drill a hole for it?
I cut a shallow mortise in the places where the bolt sticks through

as always nice work U R a master
thanks, dude!
Do you do your own editing? It's done really well, I like the style.
I do! It took a while to find my ‘style’ but i’m glad you’re enjoying the videos!
Very inspiring videos, thank you. This is the second time I've watched them. I was just wondering how did you connect the sill plates to the concrete piers? Keep up the great work
Hey Nick, what state are you from? I can hear the cicadas tearing it up in the background soundtrack.
I’m in Tennessee currently. Really missed the cicadas when I lived out west.
@@NicTaylorWoodworking Very cool. I have family near Knoxville i visit every now and then. I didn’t know if you did already but it would be neat if you did timber-framing workshops. Anyhow, thanks for the vids. Informative and enjoyable.
Thanks for the suggestion! It’s definitely something I’d be interested in doing in the future.
Nic love the videos. I am in the planning stages of building one for my self. Can you tell me how you connected the frame to the pillars?
Hey Daniel! I sunk a galvanized anchor into the concrete when it was still wet. I then drilled holes in a 2x8 that sat on the pillers and were attached to the galvanized anchors.

@@NicTaylorWoodworking yes that makes sense. Did you do this to all four sides?
@@mtbikerdan nope, just the front and back.
@@NicTaylorWoodworking Thanks again, looking forward to seeing your progress.
Hi

Hello 👋
What kind of lumber are you using?
The structure will all be made of pine with oak used for the pegs and wedges that hold it together.
@@NicTaylorWoodworking looks awesome, looking forward to pt. 3 and beyond.
I am sure that you would not pri anything with your chisels
No need to chisel out that tenon…..just saw horizontally…..and the whole piece would pop right out.
Definitely! it’s a matter of preference. I would much rather chisel than saw, but that’s just me. Cheers!
I bet hewing it to the crosscut with an axe would be even faster than a saw, or you could give it the old french snap.
But yeah preference rules!

As long as you keep your clothes on you'll never be censored 👍
Haha!
Yeah, you're always so well turned out in these videos :D
AMAZING craftmanship. Not only clever construction but very enjoyable. It inspires all of us to get out and do something with our hands. To make something handmade and not industrial fabricated.
Thanks, Georgios! I’m really stoked to hear that my videos may inspire other folks to make something special!
What kind of wood are you using?
The frame is green pine
@@NicTaylorWoodworking Eastern white pine, southern yellow?
Southern Yellow 👍
I get a real primitive technology kind of vibe from your vids. Really nice. You know the channel? Just no talking, nature sounds and all handwork.
I love primitive tech! Though, i’m glad to be using tools a few hundred years more advanced than his :)
What lumber is this? Tight grain, so doug fir?
It’s actually Southern Yellow Pine
Why don't you use steel nails?
This looks like it's going to be my new favorite timber frame series. Excellent work! I even picked up a new trick from these videos. Your video production values are amazing. I really enjoyed this. Plus, I'm an avid board game nerd, so your dice tray video resonated with me, as well.
Thanks dude, glad you enjoyed it! Hopeful to have the next video up next week
Very very nice work!!!💯💯👍👍👍
You need to make a big persuader sledgehammer for pounding the joints and pegs together. Or maybe you already have.
haha, yup! I built one for assembling the joints in later videos. Thanks for checking out the videos!
Great videos. Can I ask you what species of wood you are using and how you sourced?
Thanks! I’m using Southern Pine. I called local lumber yards and saw mills in my area until I found one that could cut the sizes I was looking for. it was actually much easier than I thought it would be. I sent them a lost of what I was looking for, and they delivered it to my house a few weeks later. Hopefully that helps!
sharpen chisels
Congratulations from Brazil! Nice work!
Thanks dude! Making progress slowly but surely
What kind of wood did you use for the sill plates -- i.e., between the timbers and the piers?
And how did you fasten the timbers to them?
I used some treated 2x8’s I had lying around. I attached them to bolts I sunk in the concrete, and then attached the timber frame by driving lag bolts up through the bottom of the 2x8 into the 8x8 sills. Hopefully that helps!
Hello Nic! Its really great job!
Could you please tell how did you attach the wood base to the tubes (foundation). Thank you in advance
Hey, Dmitry! I attached a 2x8 along the concrete piers by sinking steel bolts into the concrete before it dried. Once the 8x8 sill plates were in place, i drilled lag bolts up through the bottom of the 2x8 into the 8x8. Hopefully that makes sense! Cheers!
