Love the video, Zach!! Can't wait to see how the rest of the loft build turns out!
First of all…you pole building is never big enough😂but very true. I know people that had some moisture issues when they went next to the metal roof with insulation…check that out👍. Metal racking is a nice alternative. I like the video’s.
Thanks for the video! Gave me some good ideas for my future projects! The laminated beams were a good way of making them especially to plane them down to fit the brackets. Yes to the out feed rollers!
Yep, would love to see a video on your milling process (it always seems like you have excellent wood to start with). Working with straight lumber is nice, so the effort you put into planning and edging is appreciated.
Nice Job! Thank you for choosing DOVOH. This Dovoh H3-360G ultra-bright self-leveling laser level is an impressive tool. It can assist in unlocking more projects easily.
Yes to a video about the infeed and outfeed tables! I have an old Delta planer that gives me snipe grief all the time.
Rollers wont help with Snipe. As a matter of fact, since they're not being fed into the planer one after another, these posts will all have a bit on both ends (which doesn't really mattter once in the brackets)
Video on the roller table? YES PLEASE!!!
Would love to see a video on the roller. I am planning to do quite a bit of planing soon so this would be helpful.
I can use this video to redo the old loft in my shop.
Clean. Nice to see a part 1 that actually accomplishes something instead of spending 17 mins preparing without doing anything.
Can't wait to see the finish product... Looking good!
Love the build. one tip. when driving anchors leave the nut on so u dont hit the threads by accident. im an ironworker and i use them alot for mounting angles to a wall. other than that thanks for the content i know i use alot of ur stuff. thanks buddy God bless
Thanks for the tip!
This is exactly what I am thinking about doing in our two car detached garage. Keep up the great content!
Love how clean all your builds are, man! Everything is so well thought out and executed. Not easy to do, speaking from personal experience. Keep it up!
Looks good.
Very nice and clean build. I really enjoy your videos from a content, editing and pacing point of view. Looking forward to seeing the loft come along!
Awesome work! Looking forward to the next video.
I like the robustness of the build.
The stairs will make it look really big!
Alright Chris Evans, you inspired me to plan out a small pergola project for the garden. I appreciate the tips in your video. They helped bridge some gaps I had in the planning
Just call me budget Chris Evans
While building headers you do not mention about keeping the crowns up.
Cant wait to see it done. Incredible job
You need more clamps LOL🤣
Can never have enough
Great job looking good can’t wait to see it finished
Looks nice, especially that $$$$ hardware.
Love it. Reminds me of how I did our cabin and now I want to build another one. :)
Great stuff, I hope you don't mind me stealing some of those idea's to build a covered decking in my back garden. Looking forward to seeing the finished item. Well done 👍
That’s exactly why I make these videos. Steal away!
Cool idea, you just inspired me to build one in my taxidermy shop to display all my mounts! Upstairs downstairs and on the walls, I can fit a lot of animals that way compared to dedicating a whole room of wall space
That’s awesome!
Looking good 👍 I always love the work you’ve done
that looks so good! :) Great work!
I built my workbench frame over the long weekend out of scrap pallet wood. I found some long 2x4x10s that had been nailed and screwed together, but i was able to take them apart and use them to build the frame. i did what you suggested to make a lap joint out of them and i'm shocked my measurements were good enough to be not only square but level! Keep up the great videos!
Nice work dude 👍👍
Awesome build. Really like your content.
Seeing some of your progress and liking the extensions you made what are your thoughts on making a table with dog holes and popups using cabinet blumotions?
Why not a 4x6 post with a wrap of 1x8 for looks. I would think that is much faster and easier. ?
These posts are stronger since they are 5.5"x5.5"
This shop is going to be amazing when you’re done. What is the square footage?
I agree it's going to be amazing.
It still feels a big mess, but it's starting to really come together! The building is 32'x60' so 1,920sqft
sorry I am new to woodworking so I got a question, are you able to square up wood with a planar? I thought you couldn't do that but your wood came out so good!
You can't perfectly square up lumber with a planer unless you're using a jig. The best way to ensure square is using a jointer(which I someday hope to own). Just using a planer gets it close enough to square for my purposes. If I was building cabinetry I would make sure it's perfect, but my posts won't be touching anything on the sides so any slight out of square won't be noticed
THE ROLLER SYSTEM AND CAULS ARE SLICK! YOU COULD DO A VIDEO ABOUT BOTH AND I'D WATCH!
How much does a guy have to make to buy a few (more) clamps? ✌️😉
BTW, what was that stop mount you added to the drill to control depth (link please).
This just proves a man can never own too many clamps
I used the guide more to make sure I was drilling vertically

Question - When you were measuring how tall the ledger braces were you added the length of the post with the mount and ledger, then subtracted the ledger. Couldn't you have just measured the post with the mount?
Good question, the header is made out of a planed 2x10 while the ledger board is a 2x8 which means the supports under the ledger board are longer than the posts with the mount. That's why I had to measure the total height of the loft first then subtract the 2x8 height
@@BearMountainBuilds Thanks. I noticed that later in the video without it actually registering it.
What is the difference between laminating to create posts vs just picking up posts?
The main difference is you can make your beam/post as large as you want when you laminate which also increases strength. Laminated posts won't twist because each individual board resists the twisting of the other boards. The only downside to laminating is it can be time consuming compared to just going to the store and buying a 4x4 post.
@@BearMountainBuilds Didn't even think about that. Did a little armchair quarterbacking and looked up the price as well and I can see that, minus the time to construct them, it is cheaper to build out 6x6 posts using 2x6's as well so... learned something! Appreciate the build outs. Always gives me something to start with when planning my projects.
someone help me here, why would he not joint the would first then plane?
I don’t have a jointer
be careful using screws in place of nails in your joist hangers (near the end of the video). as a general rule screws don't have anywhere near the shear strength that nails do and are usually not approved for applications like joist hangers where the fasteners are carrying the load. recommend you check the shear rating on those #10 structural screws you used. otherwise, looks great.
I did a lot of research on structural screws and these will be able to take the shear stress especially since I won’t be loading this loft to make capacity. Could use nails too but I don’t really like nails
French people there - not sure about the exact translation of wood tech words -
@ czcams.com/video/7BYb7Z4VGss/video.html take care , you should glue your wood in opposite direction. eg. this pattern )( not this one () "coeur contre coeur" in french. over time, wood will expand around its core and this will create split. if u oppose them , they tend to compensate, otherwise they add up and may cause flaw on the edge, at the core too. it can slide along nails
Interesting work !
Nice work! Sorry to be so pedantic, but those are lag screws, not bolts.
Thanks, glad you enjoy the build! I almost changed the naming to lag screws when I was recording the voice over, but it looked like they can be called either. Might be geographic thing, but my dad always called them bolts so it has just stuck with me
@@BearMountainBuilds I was taught that bolts take nuts, screws don't, unless they are machine screws.
sorry about your ocd. my dad said I would never get a home built trying to make everything perfect.
In my humble opinion...building something is the perfect place for ocd! Precision is key to a good quality build!
I really like your build process, but could I ask that you vary up the build music a bit, or consider not having it… it started to get a bit repetitive about 5 minutes in! 100k subs just around the corner…
Thanks, I'm looking forward to getting the 100k plaque on the wall! I'm still trying to figure out the music. I try to keep it really low and fill the background. I've played with doing no music, but the videos felt long and kinda boring. The music keeps the pace fast. I'll keep tweaking it.
Instead of stairs, do an elevator.
An elevator would be cool but probably out of the budget at this point
