🔷 ABOUT SAMCRAFT 🔷
Samcraft is a channel all about educating, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and sharing the things I've learned since starting my own small business in 2018.
In today's video I build the massive wood beams that span the footings and the floor framing will rest upon. The beams are made from three 2x8 boards laminated together.

Wish I had a dad like that growing up
Love that you are including your son in the build-you are building more than a workshop-you are building a man with life skills ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 👍
Seems like your son has grown a foot since the last time I saw him on a video, Sam. Looks like he’s gonna have some height to him. That is gonna be a massive shop building. You deserve it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the shingle shim idea for the application
Been a contractor for years and haven’t seen the shingle shim trick!
Can people confirm they won’t weather out?? Love the idea - just hesitant.
I love the way you are allowing your son to help. He’ll have a trade if he chooses or more important, he’ll save money doing his own work.
Well, to say I'm jealous would be an understatement... I'm working out of a 2 car garage. You go! good on ya... love the fact that your son is helping out.
Hey, just a few weeks back I would be jealous of your shop! :)
Sam looks great! Love the shingle tip! Had not heard of that before but I will defiantly be giving his a try! Also major kudos o your son! Wow is has become pro running that tractor!!!! What a confidence builder for him!❤
I trust him as much (maybe more) than my wife running it! LOL But seriously, I can ask him to do anything with it and trust he will be careful and safe to get the task done (minus mowing with it, although he begs to).
I am amazed at your skill sets. You have helped me with my own projects, and most importantly given me the confidence to tackle projects I would otherwise not have done. Thank you!
Awesome! You can do it!
Treat yourself to enough windows for that sweet natural light to work in while still providing ample wall space for wall cabinetry. Since you have huge access to the underside of your new shop consider running dust collection pipe runs under the floor. Also a good time to consider placement of power outlets in the floor for your big stationary tools i.e. table saw, bench and assembly table.
You're building the dream of every woodworker. I'm enjoying every fastener you drive home!
Great ideas and tips, thanks for your input!
You're the man Sam and Angela and the boys.....almost forgot.....the 2 furbabies as well. We love thier cameos, they're a fun feature.
Coming along Sam. This is going to last forever and you’ll be able to pull your cars in to work on them. Lol. Wow that just gave me an idea. If you have to work on cars, put a man door on the carport side so you don’t have to walk around both shops all of the time. Main door on the front and door on the back to access carport. Good idea. Lol
Looks good. Suggestion, you should put joist tape on top of the beams to keep water from penetrating between beams. As Just aa a precaution.
🎉 YAY YOU! 🎉
I'm impressed but, I'm not surprised by the great job you are doing on this massive shop!
I look forward to seeing all your toys set up and ready to play with!
Big hugs for you all!
✌️💖🙏🇺🇲✡️🙌🤜
Hi Sam. I like seeing the arial views at the end, it really shows the final finish. Great job with the drone.
Sam, another great video! If I have learned anything about you from following your channels is that you try to do things right! I first discovered you when trying to find information about the Shapeoko. I ended up buying one and love it. I too, have recently built a new shop. I would have built it different, probably better, but I wanted a turn-key contruction. It was done in 3 days and I didn't have to lift a finger but there are trade offs to that. Now, to my actual point. :) FB groups that I belong to have talked about floor bounce. Hopefully, you have everything figured out correctly to address that. I have it in my shop but I know that my contruction isn't the same as what yours will be. Anyway, it was suggested to double the plywood floor which I could have done before I finished the space but I didn't, mainly because of the additional cost. It doesn't hamper what I do and I can still make things. So, I can live with it. I am only suggesting that you might have to double the flooring but I don't know. Anyway, good luck. I can't wait to see the shop finished and the things that you build in it.
I look forward to putting my CNC to use again in this new shop! I've never had the space to use it in my current one. I have several projects in mind waiting for the revival again. :)
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family and working on your homestead
11:10 I like that you actually attached your beam solidly to the foundation. A lot of people on RUclips just lay it down and hope for the best.
Genius, Sam on the beam construction!!👏👏👏👏
Can't wait to see the finish product. Its looking good
Sam getting the shop he deserves.
Neat idea for using asphalt shingles as shims. First time I see that done.
That work shop is coming right along. I wait every week for a new video
I'm so excited for you and to see your new shop come to life!!!
Thank you!
Son is good at helping you and view is he tall. You are teaching him a lot for good skills
Looks great!
When you said shingles I was thinking of the wood kind. The asphalt shingles worked out great and never thought of using them.
Great job!
So far you are keeping me interested and educated. We’ll see.
Awesome job
Fantastic 👍
Lookin Great!!! What an awesome workshop! Totally envious! ❤❤❤
Wonder if it’s a good idea to put one piece of shingle between the beam and the bracket/pier to act as a moisture barrier.
Awesome job as usual.
Question - why didn't you pour a concrete slab for your shop? I don't like critters getting under the buildings.
That'l Do Er Sam, nice job, plus your eldest son is getting real helpful and learning important things for later life, brings back memories of Me and My Dad.
Very true! I learned a lot from my dad as well... continuing the tradition! :)
Looking good.
Nice work dude 👍👍
The shop will be awesome.
Sam great job can’t wait to see you furnish it… like the way your boys are involved and impressed at their work ethics,
Wondering if instead of putting the joists on top of the beams you could have cut them to fit within the beams on hangers to save on height
Impressive as always brother.
great fondation :) ( from Alain in Paris France)
Great job, looking forward to the finish line................
That is really smooth! Great job!
Thanks!
Looking good 👍🏻
Thanks 👍
Great Video Sam
Thanks!
Really enjoying this series, Sam. Great stuff.
Glad to hear it!
When you built your current shop, I thought you did a great job with a limited amount of space! I'm glad you don't have to settle for that, and can build your dream shop! Unless you have plans for an even BIGGER shop! *grin*
I appreciate that!
Big beefin' workshop.
We use shingles to level big lathe and milling machines too, great job
Looking good great tip on shingles as shims.
Thanks 👍
Logical choices and explanations. Blessings.
Same to you!
Nice! About to start a project just like this soon. Think I'll hire a concrete company to come do the pour though. I dread using my concrete mixer lol.
Looks good. I was down your way a week ago. Went home to visit my family and took 40 on the way back.
Beeped as I drove through central Tennessee. Not sure if you heard it.
Good ole 40! :) Glad you made it out n back safely! :)
I like watching your videos. You have some great skills and advice. God Bless your family.
Thank you! You too!
Can you tell me how to connect the beams to rears instead brackets. Ty
What did you use to find beam spans for sonotubes? Most of the ICC and AWC span charts are for stem walls, but I guess they would apply the same. I found some deck websites that show spans for pier and beam.
how old is your son. he is your fantastic helper.
We use either 4 - 2x8 or 3 like you did with 1/2" ply between them.
Would it have been worth painting the top ( preferably the whole wood surface) with a bituminous paint to eliminate moisture getting in and rotting wood?
RO, you need a passion, a hobby, sport, nothing is perfect in our lives, just have to be flexible. Meant to be positive. :)>
When you coming out to WA to build mine??? 😁😁😁
I have no idea about this so I am curious: wondering why 6x8 beams are not used. Is it a cost factor or is it a weight to structure problem ? THX for the video; maybe I can build onto my carport using your methods ! Be well!
Cool beans
Will you be going with trusses on this build? Your old shop technically had a ridge board rather than beam, getting up to 20x32 you'd be best served with trusses like Seth did. I used ForteWeb to calculate the ridge beam on my 10x20 office (ended up with a 14" LVL). My structural engineer friend uses the same software for basic wood framing and double checked my numbers.
Yes! This will be my first time using trusses but I couldn’t imagine building a clear span roof any other way. I want this space to be wide open. 😎
I always enjoy watching you n family. One question about your shop, why not a concrete floor? It's gonna be great.
I'm building this shop to be on the same level as my current one and will connect them someday. A concrete slab would have been much more expensive, too.
Sam, good morning. Was wondering did you square the beams to avoid the parralelogram? When you were hammering the end to make them even they moved quite a bit in the bracket. Looking forward to the rest of this build.
i will be building a similar size building. How far apart we your piers? Did your beams overhang the pier- by how much? Did your joists overhang the your beams, by how much?
He tells you at about 12 min
Looking great Sam ..Question are nails stronger than screws looks like that nail gun speeds up the job
Keep in mind this is just my opinion and I'm not really a professional... It depends on the application. Nails will bend and flex and withstand forces better than screws, which will break in such instances. However, screws tend to hold two objects together tighter. For framing nails are much faster and perfectly strong. For things like siding or finish work I prefer to use screws.
Just a question about yor beams - I know you said you did not have enough length to stagger the joints. Would it not be the same length if you cut one of the long board in half them put the one long one in the middle and the 2 short ones on each side of that? I just want to understand for my project Im working on laying out. Thanks
The length wasn't the issue, but the pier spacing. They didn't line up to be 16' in the middle span.
Big beefy beams. 😂
Are those treated 2-bys?
What are the beams? Are they 2x10x32?
Nice. Work. Where are you located ?
since youre building the new shop to the same height and verry close to the old shop it might be handy to made a small "bridge/ walkway between the two shops , will mean adding doors in both shops
the small shop faces the road and having the walkway between them would mean that you can unload stuff intoo the new shop through the old shop and dont have to add to the excisting road , will mean that you have less wallspace to put stuff at both shops where the (double?) doors are
to bade about the direction of the eve of the roof on the old shop as tearing out the rear wall and just extending off the back of it mightve been nicer
wat you can still do and whont cost a lot is laying rows of pallets around the foundation piers this once the rest is build would allow you to store lumber and other materials under the building and off the ground
I was wondering why you didn't cut and stagger the 2 bys so the nailed up beans had a continuous run with no ends all at one place.
That was explained in detail in the video.
I think a triple beam is overkill for the size span you have, a double beam would have been good enough. You could have placed plywood in between two 2x8s also. It does look beefy and should support a heavy load.
Just wondering do the boys get the old work shop for home school/boys cave. These boys are well behaved and deserving 😊
The old shop will become a dedicated video studio space. We homeschool inside the house, too. :)
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did you have to special order those wood to concrete brackets? The beam would be 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 inches thick, but the only products sold retail are for accommodating 3.5 or 5.5 inch solid dimensional lumber. So were those a special order from Simpson strong-tie or can you find those at a retailer?
They were an online ship-to-home order from Home Depot.
@@Samcraftcom I know the old fashioned method of plating the pier with anchor bolts, but I am investigating the beam seat brackets just out of curiosity.
@@Samcraftcom HomeD is great for ship to home.
👍🏾
SAM PLEASE .....put down a .06 mil. vapor barrier now on the ground "BEFORE" you do your floor framing. Actually, it would have been much easier if you'd put it down before you put the beams in place.
😀

Sixteenth!
Sam my Lady friend says you are awsome.
Thank you
First
Why though? Why didn't you just build up and pour concrete? can hold more weight, last longer and heck of a lot cheaper. What am I missing? Code issues maybe?
There's no way it would be cheaper, not with concrete pricing today! The grade drop is about 29" as well... that's a lot of engineered fill to compact correctly to prevent settling and cracking later.
You talk too much.
He could not talk, and we'd have no idea what he's doing.
