The more I see of this building the more I think this is how a barn would have been built several hundred years ago. Everything you do, Kris, is way over kill so your barn will probably stand at least 500 years! No use doing a job twice; do it right the first time! I enjoy watching your life happen. 🐑

Waterwheel hydro project... right after this incredible barn has been erected, you're spoiling us Kris. Such a wealth of enjoyable content and, may I say, the way you craft the video editing is as good as any professional. Howard, yourself, and his team are creating a building of beauty to last many generations.

I found the chapters in kzread.infoUgkxYGamVaHfdHiPlAQaLa7zkwR02OKpGYDU to be very relevant to my project as I embarked on building my first ever structure from the ground up. I especially found this Ryan’s Shed Plans to be of great use when it came to building the roof. I was able to do all the cuts and installation by myself, with a little reference to this Ryan’s Shed Plans.

You'll have to be sure to have each one of the guys sign their name on a visible place so that everyone who comes into the barn can see who built it!! I can't wait to see it back at your place and standing proud. Excellent work by all of you!

This barn is a long way from your outdoor composting toilet. It's a natural progression for your channel. This barn will probably be the focal point in all your drone shot. Wow! You guys are amazing. Thanks for taking us along for the ride on this amazing journey!

All coming together slowly Kris. That centre joint was lovely to watch being made. Its going to be amazing once it's done!

Having cut that kind of joint myself, the moment at 14:39 when you go *thunk* *thunk* and waste just falls away... that's one of the most badass things I've seen this week.

Bloody work of art. 👍

Great work Kris! Your fellow timber framing crew are amazing! Lambing was wonderful! New life is very pleasing! I’m so happy for and Dot! Your surrounded by brilliant people! Made my day! Thank you!

You made an interesting juxtaposition with the intricacies of the creation of your barn and the birth of the lambs in the paddock. Both are things of beauty, both coming into existence at the same time. Fantastic work by you and the lads; craftsmen in every sense of the world.

Outstanding work by Howard and his crew. Lovely design, too. Can't wait to see the barn standing

A work of art and this is exactly how it should be viewed as not just a building and what is wonderful to see is that these craftsmen are all young men. So often when you see this kind of skilled work it is being done by much older men and women and you worry who is going to continue this skilled work when they retire but here no worries here, timber framed buildings are in safe hands.

Glorious work by the TimberRoots team 👍

Wow .... !!!!!! Absolutely Stunning Craftmanship .... and Your attention to design is a real miracle .... Congratulations to All involved ..... Has been a Real Pleasure to be part of it, as a 'Viewer' .... Cheers from ChCh, NZ

Looking like you picked exactly right crew for this massive undertaking, seems like they know all the tricks of their trade and the space you've rented looks like you have plenty enough room and is dry, can not wait until it is back at your farm and stood up, great looking job all around

I have pulled dozens of lambs - stuck in the sheep. Always amazes me to be able to walk to sheep and they stand still and allow me to reach deep inside of them to correct the lamb and pull it out. The amount of trust that the animals can give to you when in stress, is amazing! I have medium hands - but big muscles arms - so it is not easy for them.

Looking like an expensive project, but will be well built.

This is a really lovely life you and your good lady are building here Kris 😊

I am a Canadian living in Thailand and enjoy watching your videos. Your work is very good

I'm incredibly impressed by Howard and hope he gets a ton more customers after the frame is done!

A group of artists working together. GREAT TEAM WORK......👌 👍

Given my very inadequate woodworking skills I absolutely love to watch this awesome team of talented craftsmen create such beautiful forms in wood. This series is just fantastic, and I can't wait for each episode

An amazing project and an amazing team of old school skilled chippys. Well done to everybody concerned. Surely they are aware that that building will still be there in 1000yrs!!!! ? Regards Mark in the UK

I'm, honestly, just in awe of the craftsmanship and skill of all you men. I wish I could accurately express how it makes me feel to watch all of this coming together. You are all doing yourselves proud. God bless.

Superb again! This barn series has been so educational. Im sure many teenagers and older will be inspired to start a career in timber construction etc. Well done Kris.

My small takeaway from this video is: these craftsman use the best tool for its application. There isn’t the “brand loyalty” you see in the States. And honestly, it’s refreshing!! Beautiful work so far, keep it up 👍

I would live in that barn...I would make the upstairs my home... Great work.

Beautiful barn. Will stand for centuries.

After watching all the build videos of your house, various outbuildings and especially your shop I've been impressed by your timber work - especially the round timber work done with no reference edges. It took you quite a while to get that shop building done single handed with occasional help. This would have taken you the whole summer just to cut the joinery. This is an awesome design and it is all coming together really nicely. This crew is really making it possible for you to get this thing done and hopefully completed this year. It's going to be lovely, if you'll pardon my sad, American attempt at a Britishism.

This is the perfect thing to watch on a rainy Sunday morning after moving my duck 💩 to the new outside beds for next year. I am on a similar journey, not far away, near Lampeter.

That timberwork is absolutely marvelous. I built a lot of utility barns and workshops and halls over the last couple decades, partly with complicated statics and steel-rod or wire cables for tension members and weird stuff like fishbellied girders and composite girders, but never did I have the time or the means to build an "orthodox" construction like Your barn here. Makes me slightly envious to be honest. What a beautiful way to do it. Thank You for sharing that colossal build!

Hi Chris. Yep another superb video. It is so exciting to see your dreams come into realisation. A truly magnificent testament to your skills and perseverance. I, and I’m sure many of your subscribers, would love if you could share (without wishing to invade your privacy) a little of the costings, both financially and the man-hours that this is taking. Keep up the good work. Mark K, Dublin, Ireland.

Another fantastic week of craftmanship at it's best, including pontificating. So nice to see good hand tools and not a nail gun in sight. New life on the farm, barn coming along but were is kittykat? Looking forward already to the next film. Have a great weekend.😎

Wish I had your energy and intelligence. God Bless you and yours.

LOOKING FORWRED TO THE WATER WEEL JOB KRIS . WELL YES EVEN THE MILING THAT AS IT INTRESTING , VEUWING .

As a child of ten I watched one of the only peg and beam builders rebuild a house in Avoncroft museum. It is even more wonderful to see this team creating this amazing barn at 66 years old not only has it kept the skill going but vastly improved the methods. Wonderful wood butchers thanks for all you post it’s all wonderful.

Epic build will last for generations. I am hoping that your main residence, when you build it will be a 'land ship house'. Great team, keep up the good work.

I'm fascinated how these guys are doing such a precise work with basic hand tools and ordinary power tools - all of that in a rather quick pace. Nice work!

Thanks you and staff, Kris !! A wonderful and interesting job !, bye from Italy ! 🇮🇪🇮🇪

I would never have imagined there were people who still had the skills to build a barn like this. I’m so happy the skills were not lost! Your baby lambs are the cutest things ever!! So adorable! And it’s plain to see how much you love them. It’s wonderful to watch❤️🐝🤗

The omish and Mennonite communities in America build all thier barns without using power tools and use wood pegs to connect all the timbers. They all come togeather as a group and there can be a couple hundred men who will erect a huge timber framed barn in a day. Google omish barn raising on u tube . It's really amazing to watch so many men who still use old time honored skills that have been almost forgotten in our modern fast paced world.

It's pretty amazing to see an old stile of making a barn this is Mark I have spoken!

I used the word cathedral some episodes ago; I was right. This is a piece of monumental medieval-style construction. These men are just incredible. I never imagined that this kind of knowledge had survived! This is a piece of English history in the making and will be admired in 2223, never mind 2023/1. Fair dues to you, Kris for having the imagination and bravery to attempt this! In some ways it is not as incredible as the lambing, but it's in the same league. Dot looks to be in her element.

It’s fascinating to watch the team work. The barn is going to be here for a few generations to come. Great work 🌈

I’ve watched this 3 times! What? I don’t know why I just love the skills ❤

brilll kris absolute craftmanship .

I've seen timber framed construction before, but I don't think I've seen it quite like this team. These guys are crazy skilled!!

Amazing work guys ! can't imagine the time it would take to do it without power tools...

Kris! Unbelievable professionalism from the men who make you a frame. The building will last hundreds of years.

I LOVE your content. Thank you!

Amazing to watch real craftsmen at work. Thanks#!

Beautiful design and craftsmanship. It's great to see that old world skills are still alive today. I fear that the next generation will lose these skills. Your barn will stand as an example for many many years to come. Thanks Kris for bringing us along on your life journey

Those Boys can sure handle a Beamsaw. Unbelievable!!

Coming along beautifully. This is going to be one amazing building once finished. Really enjoyed the walk around and good to know the lambing’s going well. For the life of me though, l can’t believe that 54k have viewed and only 5.2k have liked!! Come on people, press that like button. It costs you nothing.

Aw Kris, Dot’s little lambing lookout for the two of you was the cutest thing ever!! 🥰 love seeing the little moments, and the big! This building’s going to be stunning once it’s up. Cheers guys xx

I'd be interested to see where and how you organise all the completed assembly in their disassembled state!

These guys are amazing wood workers. The accuracy of the work is shown each time it comes to fitting the piece together.

This building is going to be a work of art once it's finished. So funny that it'll only be a barn!

I feel like you've pretty much got life sussed out. Pleasure to watch and learn a great deal from your content 👍

This building is becoming a work of art. Wow.

Stunning Kris absolutely stunning, I doff my cap to you and the team of craftsmen you have engaged.

Very pleasing to the eye ,you said it right its artwork.

Its going to be a luxury barn.

What a great legacy you will leave behind . One hundred years from now someone will see this beautiful old style barn construction and your name will be talked about and the projects you created. I really think you need to mill a brass plate that's fairly heavy duty with your name ,the date of construction of the barn and maybe your thoughts on life and your work ethics. Leave something that future generations might follow.

that joinery is straight up SICK 🔥

I'm a newcomer to your channel and love every moment great work Kris keep it up your doing amazing 👏 👍 😀

Work of art it is….and it will be soooo big when you stand it up! Excited for you Kris and honestly so happy to see someone who thinks outside the box being able to achieve such quality goals….inspiring as always young man 👏👏👏🤝

Watched your video's from the start. Truely, we are all overwhelmed of what you and those who help you accomplish. Truely amazing! When you are done building your barn, I think you should see if a documentary movie can be done and have it shown on public TV. What you do needs to be remembered and in the future should become a historical museum. Your buildings will be around for hundreds of years. AMAZING!

Just make a pattern from thin plywood for each type of joinery and spend one day making joists and the next rafters and so on you will get done a whole lot faster and save tons of money. It is the most beautiful barn I’ve ever seen!

I enjoy your work kris. I'm looking forward to watching the water wheel. I really love your hyro videos.

Not a barn. More like a cathedral. Fabulous design and joinery . Congratulations to all. Great work.
