Lifting Beams - New sawmill platform build
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- We continue our build of the wood shed, sawmill, and solar kiln by lifting large beams and posts to finish framing the sawmill platform side of the building. We will have two fully open walls for easy access when moving logs and boards around the mill.
The rough footprint of the sawmill side is about 10' x 18' and it will be on the roof above this that we will be mounting our solar panels in the future.

Dude, your woman is a A-list number one warrior princess she works alongside you without question I’ll give her a hero metal
How many people were holding their breath for a lot of that? You guys are just amazing.
I really admire how the two of you are making it work! You don’t have all the expensive equipment, tools and machinery that a lot of homesteaders have but you use your hard work ethic and determination to keep you going. Building a homestead from scratch on raw land isn’t for most people. It’s so great to be able to watch the two of you making it happen!
Somebody sounds they were having a good time cheering mom and dad putting the beam in place! Ha Ha very cute!
There isn’t anything Cody cannot accomplish, love your ingenuity and “ grit” ..your vision is terrific
After being literally on the edge of my seat, when y'all got that beam in place, I literally gave you a standing ovation!!!🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏
Wonderful teamwork👍💯 I was holding my breath while y'all raised that beam.
I look forward to your next video😎
Looks like hard work guys. But the baby doing a great job videoing u guys Hahahah
Great video Cody and Lori
That’s looked painfully difficult. Great work guys.
Rowan found her voice! So sweet! Ya'll are great!
I know i say this every week but you two are a great team!
That is beautiful and some great Alaskan engineering. You two have become a great team or maybe I should say a great trio with pep squad in the back ground lol ❤
I'm 20 minutes in and have to say, Lori I'm glad that others like yourself think the burls are hideous. That way, they're not all taken😆 That log you have is priceless...
I love them and would take one in a flash🤩 Gonna finish watching now, lol. I love your videos🥰🐝
P.S. Cody, groovy cap. It looks just like mine🤣
You have both earned yourselves hernias
You two are amazing
Way to go Cody and Lori! You two are amazing together. There is nothing you can't accomplish!!!!
Great teamwork!! Thanks for sharing with us. God bless!
amazing trust communication and team work!! go get em!!
It’s amazing what you two accomplish, I’ve been married to wife my beautiful Bride for 40+ years. The way y’all work together reminds me of my wife and I life together. One my wife’s aunt told us something very true! When you stop talking, arguing and caring it’s over! You guys are awesome! A little warning from a veteran in marriage. Please take some time for yourself’s. God Bless Y’all!
Oh boy what a back breaking job that was! Verbally cheered on by Rowan ❤️. You need to wear back support Cody. You couldn’t do it without Lori. What a great team. 🇦🇺 fan.
Wow, I bet you two had some sore muscles after that lift??? Awesome team work😊 That burl log is something.
I was on edge watching you guys put that big beam up I really love the balls on tha tree it going to look very pretty I will be waiting next week 😊
OMG, you two are amazing, that was a difficult job, God Bless your family of 3
U guys make good teamwork. Big shout out to u Lori for ur awesome effort 👍
You to awesome parents
Great job team work . Can’t wait to see the next video. Your sweet little daughter was cheering you on. ❤
Dang I don’t know how you guys got that beam up there. Wow
Your baby girl has discovered her voice! She can make sounds! I sat with my 4th grandchild the day he discovered his voice!
You shoulda put the burl post in the other side up and you could hang stuff on the limbs
I agree. Even just cause the largest one would look good on the bottom.
Excellent job , you guys can do anything you want ! Cheers , hello from Alberta . 😊
Great job you 2! I had to hoist 6 25ft 12inch I beams to build my first workshop as it was on a budget that didnt include "help lifting them". My wife and I did basically the same with 2 ladders one on each end and she would move the ladder as I lifted one side and we slowly worked it up. That building will serve you well in your climate for sure! Cant wait to see it in use!. Oh for the alaskan sawmill turn it around and push with the bottom of the bar cutting versus pull with the top of the bar. One step further is I got a cheap trailer winch (the smallest i could find) and attached it to the mill and then just screwed a board on the opposite end verticallly to attach it to then used the winch wiht one hand to move the saw through the wood and it works SO much easier. Plus i dont have a sawmill so its the chainsaw or nothing for now. If you watch "Survivingringworm" YT channel he has a full indepth "how too" on those sawmills and he has done all the testing over years and thousands of boards. It was SUPER helpful to learn via his mistakes versus my own LOL
That’s a lot of work! Great job to both of you. And yes, little Rowan sounded adorable, giving you her baby blessings!
❤You are working hard to build your house. I really like the way you work. Wishing you good health ❤
Omg well done you two my heart was in my mouth never seen such determation to get that log in its place take care and a big hug to rowan.👍❤
Wow that last beem was a beast lol. Great job guys. But always think & work safety first. ✌️
Wow awesome job wrestling that thing in! Great video again. Loved listening to Rowan cheering you both on.
A real feat to get the biggest beam in place. Looks wobbly, hope you will have at least one supporting pole in that long length/span
Great video you two work so hard nice to see baby girl 🎀
Well done
You guys are amazing - Love seeing the progress. I must confess that when you 1st arrived, sleeping in a small truck camper, I was wondering if you'd make it. But after following all you're progress, there's no doubt - just a wonderful bunch of hard work, amazing progress - very inspirational!!!
OMGosh, you guys better be safe because you got that beautiful baby now to think about. That was a nail bitter. I'm glad you got it up. ❤
Dude, You have to get a proper tractor, with a front end loader and pallet forks. It will help you tremendously.
It wasn’t that long ago that he graduated from a hammer to a nail gun.
Wow just wow, Amazing job
the burl is awesome, it's just upside down, the other way up you could hang stuff from the branches you leave behind.
you don't have plans to make the mill base longer, it looks a fairly easy task, and would have saved you a bunch of time with that large log.
keep up the good work.
Very cool. We love watching your videos
Congratulations! Now I need to meditate to get my heart rate down. Jeepers!
A 'spud' is what you need. A larger chisel with a much longer stouter handle (up to shovel length). You can also find them in concave and convex form to work around the branches and such, although the flat one is most popular for just barking. The head is quite heavy so that you can get momentum going for you as you strip the bark. (also works wonders for getting up glued down carpet or vinyl)
Enjoyed the video 😊
I agree..burl should be other way..foot rests and hooks..love it though, you guys are awesome ❤
I am incredibly fascinated with tree burls. I had never seen them until I started watching other Alaska channels. I think they are aesthetically interesting and would love to have one in the centre of my garden.
Nail biter. Hi from Colorado Springs 😀
Colorado Springs👍
I used to live in the Black Forest ✌️
I love the burl tree 👏👏👏. Happy you got one. Y’all are stressing me out 😮😮😮with that log mercy
Very impressed. You guys are making great progress. Come so far since those first episodes.
Wow, this was a bit scary to watch.Thankfully neither one of you got hurt. Rowan was saying, no no don't do it. I like the burls. I saw someone split them crosswise and use for window shelving. You need to build a hot tub to relax in. Great job, have a good week.
You two are doing a great job but please be careful. ✌️🇺🇸
Wow that was a mammoth task and team work definitely makes the dream work. Well done both of you 👏👏👏
I love that with the three burls! Great for wood turning too!!
All that hard work is building hard strong muscle. Day by day 💪✌️
Way to go!👌
Amazing work, you two have got it to gather many blessings and keep safe 🙏
Great video you work together well 🇬🇧😊
Very impressive! Great teamwork
Looks good
That was intense
I hope you guys have good health insurance wow👍
Just Amazing lift into place. AND It FIT!!!
If you use a ripping chain for milling with the chainsaw you can get 2-3X the cut length per gallon, over a standard crosscut chain, if you keep the chain sharp.
You need to put shims under the upper slab. It takes a lot of saw to do that
you two are so awesome!! Good job.
Nicely done guys
Just please be careful both of you 🙏. Yes it will be very nice when done.
Hoorah!!!
100 percent on the work ethic but an absolute no no on lifting heavy objects without correct P.P.E.
Wow!
Great job. But brace the middle
Hi. Hard work for you guys, but why did you leave the bark on the logs under the platform? Won’t they attract boring bugs?
Awesome work. Love how Rowan is walking up the beam. Hard work but you guys are doing great. Can't wait for the finished product
Lori did you go to Stout?
Love the hoodie
Yes, I got my bachelors degree at UW-Stout.
My sister went there grad long before you were born
Aren't you supposed to use that alaskan chainsaw mill in the 'push forward configuration' instead of dragging it backwards over the log?
7:00 Notice the big, vertical push-bar in the center of the mill? The fingergrips are on the other side for a reason 🙂
❤
I am curious why you mill with your saw backwards? It would pull itself through easier if you turned it around....
Cody I think your supposed to push the saw not pull it seem like the tip of bar should be towards your truck.
I have never seen anyone pull a chainsaw mill. Can you explain why you are doing this instead of pushing and guiding the chainsaw?
Code you should listen to the boss, I pretty sure she would be a good match if you didn't listen.
DID YOU PUT LONG SPIKE NAILS IN THOSE HEAVY LOGS ?
i think i would have tried to put the bigger burl part in first and off set that weight
Block and tackle with a tripod of smaller diameter trees taller than the height you need. If you do not have access to a tractor with pallet forks or other machinery, use physics with the advantage of pulleys and the tripod. You got the beam up there but that was unsafe with that much weight. I understand you are roughing it but be careful.
Easier to pull the draw knife toward you. 😊25:30
I was trying to help you lift
Dude your suppose to push the saw not pull it ?
you pull on the draw knife not push
Try pushing rather than pulling
Ik u both have to drag yourself to be.I'd need a bully to pull myself out of bed.
Hi! Please, I beg you very much, lift weights correctly, the way
professional movers and weightlifters do, not counting the strength of the back, but at the expense of the strength of the legs!
The back is always weaker than the legs, so all professionals, in order to lift something from the ground, do not bend down, but squat with a straight back, take a load and then with a STRAIGHT BACK!!! They stand up and, due to the push of their legs, they put a load on their chest, like a barbell.
Otherwise, you will get a dislocation of the spine and a vertebral hernia. You won't notice it right away,
But in a few years it will manifest itself and you will become disabled, and then someone will treat you in the forest?
Who will follow you lying down?
Take care of yourself! Lift weights correctly. Then, on the contrary, you will only be stronger and healthier!!!
Look at how a weightlifter lifts a barbell over his head and you will understand everything.
