- This is part one of my new series on building a timber framed woodworking shop. Much of the early days of this project was not covered by video so I apologize for the voice-over-picture content!
Please like and subscribe if you enjoyed this video!
I study archaeology at university, and something I've really enjoyed looking at in more detail is the timber framing you see in practice in the medieval period and later. It really is an art, and I've increasingly been finding myself mesmerized by framing videos on UA-cam. I would absolutely LOVE to do something like this one day, the process is as old as history and I want to learn more. I look forward to following this project for as long as it runs!
Hi Glyn, sorry for the late reply. I was away visiting family for the holidays. Glad to have you along for the ride and you're perspective coming from some experience in archaeology will be interesting. Framing with heavy timber has been around for a very long time and my approach to layout borrows a bit from very old techniques. Thanks for the comment!
@@DovetailTimberworks hope you've had a great Christmas!
This is awesome. Just started to get into researching timber framing. This will be nice to watch
Oh cool! Ask as many questions as you'd like.....I really hope to make this a real back-and-forth process with people who follow along. Cheers....
Those 25’ tie beams will be a good workout Brent, I hope you have some help when time to move them. Going to be a beautiful shop.
Thanks! They have lost a LOT of weight over the past couple of years but are still a lot to manage on my own.
Nice start to the series. I'm also following your threads of SMC & CW forums. Very interesting project.
Thanks Frank! I felt like the series would benefit from the background even though it's not the most interesting perhaps and can't be provided with the benefit of video. So I hope the videos get more interesting and a little more refined as I learn more about capturing good video and the editing software.
What equipment did yu use for material handling? I am looking at getting equipment and I’m wondering what can best manipulate these heavy logs.
Hi, I used my small farm tractor for most of my handling, but for the larger logs I needed to borrow a friend's larger tractor. Forks are a huge asset
Hello, do you know about how many board feet of lumber you used in your posts and beams? I ask because that's how the local mills price there lumber which is about $1/bdft here in Missouri. Also are these plans available anywhere online?
Hi, I'd have to calculate it but they may price beams lower than say 1" boards because they're less time on the mill. Depending on the mill. If I had to guess quickly, I'd say around 4 to 6000 BF
Can we use a 6x6 beams and posts for a small 24x36 single story timber frame?
It's a hard question to answer with a lot of devils in details, but I would say it's highly unlikely. A 6x6 won't span very far and there isn't much room for opposing tenons/mortises. Good advice to hire a desiger who knows timberframing and consult an engineer.
@@DovetailTimberworks 8x8 are hard to find. have you ever used glulam beams ?
I have a couple of times to deal with span issues much more economically but usually not in situations where they are visible.
@@DovetailTimberworks may I ask if have you build/engineered them by yourself or purchased them? Thank you for the answers I appreciate it
@@Diycanada560 Typically I design to avoid glulams but if that's impossible and the clients don't mind having one, I will simply draw a glulam into the designs I send to the engineer and ask them to suggest the specs. Pretty easy for them to do and then you're guaranteed it's correct. You can then build a box around the glulam afterwards and hide it pretty well.
