- The barn build is back on track after running out of timber. we will be starting back at the framing next week. we just have one more week of framing to do and then we can put the frame up.
So nice to see Dorothy working with you , it must be such a help to have a supportive partner in all you do. well done Dot, all praise to you!
So exciting on the go again.
Just realized Dot and Dorothy are the same person 😅
When will he marry that girl?! She’s a KEEPER!
she's a trooper .
Dot, she's a good lass! Proverbs 31:10-31!! She is praiseworthy.
It was nice of them to label the log "log" so there wasn't any confusion lol!
Comment.

They lied when they labelled the bent one - that would've come back if I'd sent it as a log back when I was running a forestry contracting business.
Some sweet soul might have mistaken it for a giant's toothpick-one, slightly used.

Hello Kris&Dot! A few weeks ago your greenhouse video hit my suggestions as I had watched a few Timber Frame projects by others recently. Looking at your channel page I found the first few barn episodes, watched them and then got Intrigued by your shop building. I binge watched the whole 79 episodes over a week or so, what a fantastic building! I haven't watched ALL your videos yet but will savor them in the coming weeks. I have the time to do so as I am battling terminal leukemia with it's attendant fatigue. I am a woodworker and electronics engineer forced to retire early, my interest in cool projects on channels such as yours keep me engaged and entertained. So you are doing me a great service by producing the documentaries of your life. Thanks from Portland, Or. USA!
You are in for a treat! This young couple’s lifestyle is utterly fascinating,and completely engaging!
So sorry to hear of your diagnosis mate. Sending love and very best wishes From the UK

Kris has designed a hydroelectric plant to help power his homestead and also built a windmill to generate more 💪. He built his own saw mill and a pile driver to put up fence posts. He is a very talented person! And he has Dot in his corner. Need I say more? Nope!
All of his Playlist will help you through troubled times. 🫖📚🐈⬛🔭🕊🥧🐑🎩

I think what a lot of people might be forgetting is that he literally made that saw mill himself, using electricity from his renewable energy sources, which he all built himself. Bravo Chris !
The water wheel videos were the first ones I watched. Now I've gone back and am watching the rest of your videos.
Gosh I find these milling videos relaxing! Good non-complicated logic applied to the process, very nice and varied camera angles from the redoubtable Dot, and always a positive outcome helping towards the overall project goal! Great job!
Loving the inclusion of the milling videos as part of the overall process.
Hats off to Dot for the excellent camera work too
What I like about your video is you don't just show us when all is going perfectly. You show us the side story, the adjustments, the required maintenance to make this a wonderful place to live!
Love from Montréal
One day, I will also live the dream!
Blessings on you and your future!✨️🕊From the Twin Cities in Minnesota USA
Well done Kris for picking thru them logs and getting the best you can out of it. This project is very challenging and you and Dot are both doing a great job....
They little Kubota tractor and your lovely assistant have been worth the weight in gold to your endeavours .
I've seen so much people here commenting on Dorothy. She is much more of attraction than you new barn . I've learn a lot with your videos, Thank u so much
Thanks Kris. It is remarkable how much I look forward to your project videos. My favorite UA-cam channel. -Also, my mother’s
name was Dorothy.
Being a smallholder myself I have to admire your drive and determination in pushing on through adversity.
I’m astounded that you’re attempting a barn build of such large proportion, but know only to well that you’ll fill it quicker than you build it !
Keep up with the fantastic work, I have a hundred and one questions but I’ll contact you later when the barn is up, think you’ve got enough on at the moment.
You have inspired me to build my own barn, many thanks for sharing your ideas and work.
It was great to see "LOG" written there. Took all the doubt away :o)
Thank goodness for the spray painted description on the end of that long round wooden thing! I now know it's a 'log!9😂
Wow that sawdust bucket really is a phenomenon
I always enjoy watching your channel, you and your lady have truely created a wonderful lifestyle, your lifestyle shows me a glimpse of a dream world I would love to build myself.
Life can surely be hard sometimes and I do understand your frustration at times when things don't go as planned, but you always keep your head up and that path comes to you. Well done and thankyou once again as your channel takes me away to dream land. Always wishing you and your lady the best this world has to offer. M
hard work there Kris, good to have two extra hands though, as allways thank you!!!!
Ah Kris. The amazing thing is - even though I have seen you milling lots of logs over the last few months, it's the first time tonight that I realised that the first of your videos I ever watched was building that mill. It's still an amazing machine - built with love - and it still does an amazing job.
OMG I didn't realise that Kris had actually built that Mill!!! I should have known better now I'm going to have to go back and find the videos where he did that.
I thought the bucket was crap when I first saw it.
At the beginning of today's video I noticed that the area under your sawmill is astonishingly clean.
After your comments at the end I am now Team Bucket. LOL!
Great video Kris and Dot. Always look forward to seeing what is going on at your place. Nice seeing the sunshine and not the rain. I never realized how much goes into timber framing and you record it very well. Thank you!
11:28: Did someone think there was some question about whether or not that was a log? 🤣
Nice to see some glimpses of Dot; judging from how she was throwing those timbers around, she's doing well!
Great video, as always!
Incredible drive in this Human!
Really excited about the water wheel, no one seems to be able to get them to work effectively, knowing how much you enjoy a challenge I'm sure you've done all the calculations and it'll work perfectly.
Thank you Dot for filming! I love watching the milling being done.
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Keep your head down and move forward. That’s all you can do. We will be here watching 👍🏻
Very good.
Also very nice to see Dorothy. ❤😀
Kris, you are inspiring! Love watching what ever you are doing. Small steps over time equal a beautiful barn in the near future!
Every video you put out is a gem in itself. Not repetitive at all! Question Kris: you are still receiving patreon donations? I don't expect perks in return or anything but your patreon page looks a bit quiet, hence why I ask. Just making sure you get access to funds to see this barn through (and more!). Thanks for being an inspiration and all the effort you put into showing us your work
Brilliant machine, fab camera work. Ace video.😊
'All these things are meant to try us,' as they say. You handle it well. Kris.
So glad someone wrote “ LOG “ on that log 😂 would never have guessed it was a “ LOG “ in a million years 😂😉👍🏻.
Looks so satisfying, I have only used a Peterson saw mill which can only do 8” beams , was a most memorable day
Really informative video! Kris, you have mentioned before - and briefly shown - log defects but this is the first time you have explained in detail and shown how the defects ARE defects and what the effect the defects have on milling structural lumber. Sap pockets; ring shake; heart shake - just some of what you taught viewers about today. Totally fascinating, even though I have seen every video during which you are milling.
One of my favorite parts of any video is when you give viewers your pleased-with-your-work smile. That smile was on full display as you showed the beginnings of the water wheel project. So glad the project is doing well enough to earn the pleased smile.
It's good to see they marked it 'LOG' to avoid confusion
Years of firewood included in creating timbers love it
Haha...every time you do some milling, I'm thinking "Kris...the bucket...sort the bucket out". But like you said, one bucket full per cut, so it's actually perfect for the job. Project progressing nicely. Another month and your barn will start coming to life. Really looking forward to the build. Great work as always, Kris.
dot is on the spot with the excellent camera work 🎉🎉🎉
yet another awesome vid Kris , honestly i don't know how you do it ! your like a one man army of workers .
i once helped a guy i know make a pole barn / lean too, 14 ft x36 ft . 12ft high .
the one thing that strikes me is how godam heavy timber is .
Me personaly remember every muscle hurting after a days work yet you do this all the time , [ whats your secret Kris :) ]
Hi there. Love the vids and your enginuity!
Small tip/trick is to cover the mill with turtle wax hybrid sealant spray. Especially the slide rails. Not only does it protect
From rain but it makes it much more mud resistant and easy to slide
I use it on every vehicle and machine on the farm. Especially the windows. As well as windows and mirrors in the home. Outside windows stay amazingly clean
Pretty much any surface to improve glide and water mud snow resilience.
Game changer!
kris i think your doin a fantastic job wow wait till the barn is up the jobs you can do in there
Dot is surely a keeper, treat her like a Queen.
It's nice to see there are still parts of England which look like England.
So glad to see another video from you . I like watching you mill , glad it’s not me doing it !
Seeing others in high spirits is inspiring.
Hallo ihr 🐆👫🐕,da wo ihr jetzt wohnt 🏡 ,ist einfach fantastisch. Ihr habt einfach einen genialen Ort, oder der Ort hat euch gefunden ❤😊. Einfach einen großen Dank an euch❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Your bucket, on your saw mill you built yourself, milling your wood, to build your barn, you are building yourself. If the bucket does what you want then all is fine😊
I liked how you used a plywood template attached to end of log to identify the size of timber you were creating and centred on the preferred heartwood.
👍👌👏 Yes, Sir! I totally agree that the sawdust bucket works well! And not only that! In fact you seem to be the only bandsaw sawyer on utube caring about collecting the saw dust. All the others have piles beside and under the sawmills. It sometimes even distracts the rail system. And if the sawdust gets wet, it does rot fast and becomes quite slippery.
2) I would so much like to see someone making wood briquettes and/or wood pellets out of all the sawdust. Those products sell very well although they have become quite expensive. And if not produced for selling, one can use the pellets/briquettes for heating purposes himself. There are a lot of pellet pressing devices shown on utube. My favourite are the ones that make ~ 7cm diameter pellets (shaped like little cakes). I bet that you are able to build such a press (because of your ingeniouity and your machine park).
Best regards, luck and especially health to all of you (including the cute cat of course).
Composting toilets make great use of the stuff as well.
Dear @@esthermae8710
👍👌👏 Yes, you are right of course. But look at the big pile he already has. I know that they use it for the chicken coop floor as litter. Sawdust can also be put in the compost etc.p.p.. But all this is not so interesting than making pellets. 😁 :-) 2) Maybe Mr. Harbour will have a sawdust storage box at or in the new barn? It must be kept dry or it degrades relatively fast.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Well done Kris.
You are a very hard working man.
The barn is going to be fantastic... hard work...but amazing job by you and the carpenters
This video, more than any other for some reason, really made it hit home how much you do and have to do. So much wood processing and so much involved in maintaining the equipment and overcoming hurdles. Phew.
I always look forward to your videos. We could sit and watch glue dry and it would be fine with me...provided you had some narrative about the whys and wherefores, etc. Yes! Things never go as planned and it can be stressful and frustrating, but keep going and nudging things. You'll get there! You guys are attempting #11 difficulty when the scale is 10! Awesome! HooRay! Water Wheel!!
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Another great video from you, thanks and keep them coming soon.
I respect your resolve, Kris. It doesn't seem to matter what the challenges are, you always seem to overcome them. I salute you!
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
I can't wait for the water wheel. VERY EXCITE.
Something about cutting Round logs into square timbers is satisfying. Awesome job you two.
Dorothy & Kubota, your best allied ,imho! Bye from Italy🇮🇪
I am sure that, in all the time I've been watching you mill wood, that is the first time I've actually seen the sawdust bucket empty!
Ha! Serves me right for typing a comment half way through the video. Thank you for addressing a - very small - point that has bugged me for ages 🤣🤣🤣
I can't tell you how cool it is to see how the old timers builded.
👍🏻💪🏻🙌🏻 It's great to see Dorothy working alongside you and supporting you in your projects. Having a partner who shares your passion and can help you out is invaluable. It's clear that you both have a great partnership and work well together. Dorothy, well done for your hard work and dedication to the project. Your contribution is much appreciated and deserves recognition. Keep up the fantastic work!
Must be an exhausting day after manhandling, and womanhandling, all those logs about.
I love the feel and smell of fresh sawdust!
Thank goodness someone labelled the LOG, I'd have had no idea what it was otherwise... :D
DONT LET THE PEOPLE IN THE CEMENTS GET TO YOU👍👍👍 most of the are half the man you are.
I think that saw mill has definitely earned its keep, it must has saved an absolute fortune hate to think how much you would have spent out on timber. 👍🤗
And having control over how the logs are cut and stored is such a great advantage!
I wovvvvvvvvv the millen...well coz I'm in bed watching...lol...😂..well done guys..keep em coming..ya goofy m8te from Australia
Good to see Dot around and doing a bit of filming for you, you need to tell her to shut up though, such a chatterbox :) :) keep on keeping on Kris, it's getting there fairly quick really.
I like watching the milling stuff too... wow didnt realise the logs could be flawed in such a way.
The bucket was a thought, but nothing I'd comment on, but really, this whole process of yours has been a real entertaining education! Thoroughly enjoyable! I hope you have a good Health and Life Insurance policy on you, so when you wear yourself down to nothing, Dot is taken care of, you are damn lucky to have her!
Lucky they labelled that log for you. Hard to be sure what it is without the label.
Your an inspiration to us all, you've far surpassed your goal of what you originally set out to do, and your living free, not a slave to the system like everyone else.
I do wonder though.... If we all decided to live this way, the government would have something to say about it, and put a stop to it 😢
That would be the perfect time for a small PTO driven generator and a couple hooks to hang your welding cart on the tractor.
Bucket for the Win. 😃
Grt vid. Thx a lot. Love your attitude. ✌🏻
Kris you will do it, you have a Great team. Fantastic to see Dorothy had some spare time to work with you
Im glad someone wrote log on that log, so you know it is a log.
Kris. Your videos fantastic as always. Best channel by miles. You may have answered a long standing question for me too in this one. My great grandfather was a painter who was killed in a fall in a church in which he was painting the ceiling back in 1906. I have the inquest proceedings and it blamed the fall on the breaking of the timber plank upon which he was standing at the time. The expert witness stated that it was "quick broken" due to a fault in the original wood and having seen the ones you highlighted and how they can separate - i can see how it may well have happened. Thanks for that !
as always a busy man :) and to highest standard love you vids
your videos are one of the highlights of my day when they are posted. You have been and bright light and inspiration for me to keep going in my own projects.
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Well done both, hard work bribnis it own reward.
I loved how enthusiastic you got, like a kid on Christmas morning, when you mentioned the waterwheel project! It's going to be so cool! Looking forward to seeing some videos!
Very exciting stage Kris. Love watching your stuff from here in Australia. Looking forward to seeing the frame stood. What a dream life.
Keep living your best life 🤗
Wow the waterwheel project looks great can’t wait to see that
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Really illustrates the effort and expense of maintenance and faults and firewood...quite the effort, KH. Good on ya!
Enjoyable video Kris, more production. Well done to you two. Stay well.
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Compliments to the camera girl. Some dynamic camera work there. Making the battle against the sap inclusion look quite interesting.
The micing works great for us makes your commentary easier but must feel little strange for Dot see her man runnung araund rambling wierdly to his boards from time to time 🤣
Great thanks
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Hi Kris.
I love watching your videos.
love watching you milling good luck with rhe rest of you build
I’m well jealous of your firewood, I’ve got to start collecting mine soon, when I have the time.
Nice to see the other half . Much better when it’s seen as a couple working together. Well done you !
I am watching from New Zealand - you certainly have gathered a bit of gear and skills. I have an engineering background and now do a little part time teaching in wood and metal.
Cheers
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
You need a small 230v stick welder and then an inverter for the tractor so you can fix stuff like that in the field :)
Try and not stress about things if you can, I know it can be hard, but try and relax. You and dot are doing a fantastic job at living a good sustainable life. This barn is going to be a wonderful project. The word of God says to take one day at a time, for tomorrow has enough troubles of its own. Regards ❤
This is serious business! Good luck & can’t wait to see the rest of the build! Australia 🇦🇺
Just class, !! Was always wondering about that bucket 😂.
I don't have much time to view UA-cam. I've only watched a couple of your uploads spread out since you started.
I'm amazed at the progress you've made, especially as most of the time it's probably just the two of you. Well done!
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Yay Kris
Glad your back🎉
Great job video. I have a very manual old mill....I feel your pain lol... I am fortunate I don't have wait for timber.....I cut them down as I mill them from our property. Awesome work bud!
Really great enjoyable video Kris thanks chap !
Another great and very informative video from a great couple, watching your journey is a great inspiration and the skills you show are so easy to follow, it's a joy to watch you both and I always look forward to a new video. Thank you so much for allowing us to accompany you.
Omg kris. Can't wait to see what you do with a water wheel. It's going to be amazing. Nice to see Dot on video working with you.
Hi 👋🏻 Kris & Dot 😊 That milling machine is something else 👍🏻 Loved how you look 👀 at a log and see the the best out of it lol 😆 keep the fantastic work up m8 👍🏻
@Kris_Harbour_Natural_Building Scammer.
Looking forward to the waterwheel🎉😊
