    Between Levi's video skills and your editing Alyssa... this is some of the best content your channel has ever produced. Less talking and more showing is definitely the way to go. I'm really enjoying the build and can't wait for the next part.

    It's hard to believe how I look forward to every morning when I can sign on to my computer to see if you posted another video. This has been extremely fun to watch, and I'll be right back here in the morning to see the next one. Thank you for doing this.

    I found myself with a slight grin at the end of the video. Just reflecting on your journey to this point. The assembly is just around the corner. Levi did such a tremendous job on the amount of video acquired, and Alyssa, girl you have done a tremendous job in your edit of the content. Thanks you guys, you have given me a warm glow on this cold afternoon!

    I’ve had time to get used to Jesse and Alyssa seemingly always managing to do amazing things, but I truly am blown away by the hard work, spirit and amazing craftsmanship displayed by the volunteers under the guidance of the Shelter staff. I’ve seem more and worse mistakes perpetrated by so called “professional” builders. I guess this proves that if you care about what you are doing you will do better than someone just “doing a job.” Bravo everyone. You, too, Levi! The videos are awesome!

    Alyssa, I am so impressed with how you have used the music in the build videos. The whole build has been such an escalating emotional experience to watch. The videos you edit make me feel like I am right there watching everything. The perfectly placed music makes it seem like a movie soundtrack.

    Regarding the couple of mistake and and the good attitude shown. I'm so glad they didn't make a fuss about it. Life's all about how to fix mistakes rather than throwing blame. All construction managers contend with material variances, labourer errors, engineers measurements that don't line up in the real world and architects with their impossible designs. As a mine-site construction labourer I was always shimming, cutting, sanding, grinding, drilling to make parts line up or fit.

    I've been watching you guys since the beginning and I have zero interest in building one myself but I'm sitting here grinning ear to ear like you guys just to watch all your work come together like that. Congratz!

    That 1st scarf joint was a really nice fit! If thats any sign of the job,You guys are going to have an exceptional home! I have built about 40 homes in my life, Not to brag but I know good when i see it! Congrats!

    This is the best video for me. Watching the beautiful joints closing perfectly is AWESOME! Whether a timber frame or a bridge, assembly is the best feeling.

  • @magicman9064
    @magicman9064 6 років тому +9

    Im old, unable to do this type of work any longer, but in some meaningful way, I am right there with you, rooting all of you on. What a beautiful display of people working together to accomplish something significant not just for a common goal but individually as well...I cant wait to see the videos of those who have learned from this do their own projects. Blessings to all of you.

      Thomas Sutherland and Dan L, thank you both. Many years ago, I learned to box frame in my early 20's, and wish I had continued on down that path because of the people I met and the beautiful custom homes I worked on. Ive been watching these videos for well over a year now...and I absolutely love the fellowship demonstrated from real timber framers, especially the beautiful people who comprise the TImber Frame Workshop and their students.I have severe COPD now, makes life real difficult, but these videos do more than illustrate how to build a timber frame. God is good. Merry Christmas.

    After 20 years of building Log & Timber Frame Homes I have worn out many
    body parts , 1 knee replacement, 3 hernia surgeries, sore back. Usually with
    just a 4 man crew. From sill plate to finish work we did it all.
    Got 1 more to built for my daughter's family. 24 x 36" western red cedar
    shiplap T & G 8" logs with flat inside. Timber Frame interior system.
    Green metal roof with solar.

  • @Texas-Bob
    @Texas-Bob 6 років тому +8

    Awesome video, You guys are so fortunate that the Shelter Institute got involved. Pat is amazing! Without him and his years of experience and all of the students you wouldn’t be anywhere close to the results of this video by yourselves. A project like this requires a lot of people. Fortunately you had a great crew !Can’t wait for the next one.

    As a young child in South Dakota (1960 ish) I had a toy called 'Lincoln Logs.' A lot of round notched sticks of different lengths you could use to assemble a tiny/toy cabin with. I have never forgotten those because things through the years keep reminding me of that. This is another one of those. Thank you!

    Levi, I am really impressed with your photography. A&J have done a fantastic job on their own and you’ve kept the whole feel the same.

    Well filmed Levi and edited by Alyssa and high 5^s to all the students and staff!

    The precision of the work is truly amazing with only one fixable mistake WOW .... and as the beam will be in the walk-in closet I think every time you see the 'mistake' you will think of the people that made it all possible which I think will be a nice tribute to the crew. I look forward to raising, thank you for sharing.

We are watching a great build and are looking forward to the day you move into your awesome home. Stay safe out there.

    I am so happy for y'all. Alyssa, the eye twitch is from stress.... it will go away when things settle down.
    Right now, it's just going to be annoying.... been there, done that. Congratulations guys.

    Awesome watching the timbers come together tightly but smoothly. I can feel the endorphins of achievement from here, just watching it. Doug fir never looked so good. So, did Inspector Bugaboo give it two paws up yet? Most excellent.
    Sooooo, we're almost done with this little project. What's next, Bugaboo? A timberframed, all-weather spa deck and enclosure? Timberframed RV shack for excess guests? Timberframed wood shed? Timberframed solar battery shack? The possibilities are endless!

    @Ofageover50 6 років тому +8

    Mistakes are bound to happen even if this was a full professional crew and that's what puts the character into the end product. Jesse and Alyssa's attitude about the mistakes speaks volumes... I believe they handled quite well. Putting it in the closet area is perfect, it can be a reminder of this class and all the hard work people did and recognize mistakes happen and they are not a big deal.

    ....... so cool that so many people worked on each piece of the frame and when you put it together it all fit together so well. Amazing how tight too ..... not questioning their expertise in any way, but, all were students. Fantastic ! Tends to show the skills of the instructor as well as the skill level of each individual. I commend you all ...............

    This is so much better to watch than the news and other shows on TV. Tomorrow we have to get on our roof and start working on a partial re-roof. Hurricane Irma took it's toll by blowing a pecan tree of pecans onto the roof at hurricane speeds. I sat up all that night listening to the nuts hitting the roof and just knowing in a few months their would be hundreds of leaks. The roof is over 25 years old and would need a re-roof soon anyways. It is so exciting watching this. We watched the new Star Wars movie tonight and I am enjoying this more, as this is real life.

    I am aware of those facts. I was merely suggesting that the spirit here is more like that of a group of neighbors getting together for a “barn raising” than the usual attitude of contractors that you can hire. Obviously the gamut of human behavior governs contractors and I have experienced both the best and worst in those I have hired. This professional staff with paying students have achieved something that heartens back to a “spirit” that supersedes most of what I have seen and experienced.

    @graceandglory1948 6 років тому +7

    Watching this come together has been so incredible.. Awe inspiring.. For me personally, this was almost a holy experience. Let the emotionally dwarfed make their stupid remarks.. They mean nothing.. No doubt made by people who have never tried anything close to this achievement. When I say that for me it was almost holy, I am referring to the marvel of watching complete strangers work together to CREATE BEAUTY. This house, to me at least, is a living thing. It consists of the culmination of dreams, blood, sweat and tears. A lot of money, yes... But because of the amount of personal sacrifice, the team work, and the necessary drive to complete what was once only the beginning, this is a huge testimony of what we can do when we dream, sacrifice, and create together. I don't usually make long comments, but my old heart is just flowing over with joy for all of you. You are much richer for having chosen this road. God bless you all.... Tricia

    My guess how they feel: Like some Christmas where you get some awesome present that in your childish mind will totally change your life, make everything great and you'll be happy forever.
    And they look at it and can't really believe it's really for them!
    All these people did this for them!
    That is my guess how those two feel.
