twice we (Sevier Co. Tn) had over 20 inches of snow. glad you are making it strong. When was that... 1986?? Kiddos were pretty little. My dad and I dug out of the driveway. Grocery stores were EMPTY. We bought bread flour and just made bread because there wasn't a loaf in town. After that the weather pattern changed. Instead of our weather coming out of North Dakota it started coming out of Texas. Now we dont get as much snow as we used to. I kinda miss it. Not the 20 inches but nice snows.

@@SmokyMountainOutpost YA!! 1993!! those snows were Bizzare. So you were here for Hurricane Hugo when Pigeon Forge was an island. We had a police scanner that year and wow was that interesting. They poured water out of my safety deposit box at Citizens Bank. I am from Miami originally. Moved here in 1979. I went thru 4 hurricanes in Miami growing up and NEVER thought i would come here and go thru another one.

Thanks for sharing with us what you are doing there. I have been trying to catch up on all your video's. The table build and spending time with your kids was awesome.

I did not know why you were burning the logs for. But now I'll go to bed knowing something new. Thanks for the explanations.

Love the Norwood!! have a HD36 for the same reason as you....cutting my own trees, milling out posts, beams and brace for my off grid timber frame. Just found your channel and like all the ideas people share. Hope to raise the frame by fall this year. Thanks.

Thanks. Appreciate the comment...

Up in Oregon we save all the dirty oil from the tractors and trucks on the ranch. Then we mix in a blend of mineral spirits to the old dirty oil. We brush this mixture on the wood outbuildings. This way with all the wet air moisture and bugs we got up there it acts as both a rain and bug repellent and cost basically nothing. Spray it on or brush it on either way works great. I do like the look of the Japanese wood burning technique it looks swell. Never have tried it seems always have so much dirty oil on the ranch seems a waste not to reuse it some how. Either way it is best to preserve the wood from both weather and bug. Maybe even fire proofing a wooden structure along the way with either methods used. I remember growing up in Texas my family used the old oil and sprayed it on the farm roads.. Worked good no weeds and no dust getting on the crops.

Great idea. We saved our oil and had many uses. Thanks for sharing this information.

I was going to ask why the charring but, you beat me to the punch....thanks for that info. I'm considering doing that on my project that will start next month. On a side note, could you show the attachment that you fabricated on the bucket of the tractor for lifting....nice.

Thanks for the comment. I like feedback, and glad I answered your question. To answer the second question, I did a whole video on the extension. Go back and check out “how to weld an extension on the tractor “ video. You can see how we did it.

I’m seriously considering charring my timbers and siding for my shop build coming up soon. I was wondering how long a tank of propane lasts? 2-3 logs? Trying to figure out cost. Thanks. And I really enjoy watching this build. Amazing work sir.

Haven’t really payed to much attention but seems like about six posts or beams if not a few more. The tank will freeze and has to set some after a while of burning.

You can also wire three planks together (siding) stuff some tinder and scrap wood in the bottom and start a fire, after it’s going good stand them vertical and it acts as a chimney if it can breathe underneath. After the flames come out the top and you think the inside is completely burned, let it down, unwire and check results.

Thank you so much for the advice. I’ll definitely play around with some test pieces. I look forward to watching more of your build.

What are you going to do for the bottom side of the vertical posts to protect from rot and insects?

Well as you may have noticed, I burnt them which treats and helps a great deal. But, not finished yet. Cabin gets a rock wall all the way around.

How are u treating that fresh cut lumber without it turning colors not the beams but the siding

The siding on the sawmill just weathered. I didn’t do anything to it. It is yellow pine. I will use it on the cabin also.

I have sawed pine on my mill . I tried to put it up for siding but it always turns black. Was just wondering what u did to treat it! Cause my pine doesn't look like yours but it's the same wood.

Are you letting these logs dry out ? From your Video's it seem they go from live to logs to milled to house it a very short time. - Is that correct?

@SmokyMountainOutpost

4 жыл бұрын

Some of them. The others dried almost 10 months. My son comes in three or four times a year to help me. So for some they were green. Remember that cabins in the old days went from timber to building. Lumber will shrink some in diameter. The length stays the same. Any joints will tighten which is a good thing. Everything is working well.

@SmokyMountainOutpost

I have to take advantage of help when I have it. Another thing, board and baton or lap siding can also be done somewhat green since they overlap. When dried the seam is still covered.

But, the last cabin I built I had the luxury of letting the logs lay a Year before being milled. I do stack and let the air dry separated by one inch stickers.

I am just now watching the videos but I’m getting confused there are multiple videos with the same numbers.

Yes! We had some questions regarding the specific builds we were and are doing currently. So we made playlists with them all in there and relabeled everything. So even though you may see “S2 EP1” ... in the playlist for those builds, it will start to make a little more sense.

let me no the music you play on your video thank.
