  • It has finally started! I this video Me Sam and Ben start to raise the timber frame working from the smallest wall first. We also had to finish the trusses and join them in to the wall plate. So far my planning and lifting equipment is working perfectly.

    What you have accomplished in the past few years, especially without training in the crafts you master so artfully, is astounding.
    You are definitely leaving a legacy behind.
    One day, when you have children, they can say that their Dad built the Family Farm from the ground up.

      It's notable (and impressive) that you took design ideas from the Howard early on in the process.

    What's great about this build is, apart from Kris using a Land Rover as anchorage and a few other bits of modern
    kit, this is exactly how a timber barn would have been built in centuries past - real testament to going back to the old ways, doing it properly and making a really good job of it, and the best think of all, the average age of the participants is probably around 30. I hope these skills get passed on for many more generations.

    This episode of the barn build really showcased your editing skills, the value of a drone for filming and the skill of the drone pilot, Dot, with her impeccable shot selections. I particularly appreciated the filming of the third section because it focused on the intricacies of pushing the pieces into place with ratchet straps and pounding. Really marvelous to watch!

    I waited with a great degree of anticipation for the build to start and was not disappointed. I think that the crew who did the initial framework should be congratulated for their accuracy as I am sure the assembly is being made easier due to their professionalism. You are lucky to have good friends offering to help you put up the framework.

  • @sroberts605

    Watching this build particularly makes me think of our predecessors, and how they would have achieved similar buildings without the benefit of modern tools. Yet again I hadn't thought about the mammoth task of lifting - I suppose it would have (for the larger structures at least) needed horses/oxen and many hands, not to mention strong ropes and pulleys. It lends a whole new dimension to the wonder of old barns, churches, cathedrals, even back to the lifting of say Stonehenge, still a mystery to this day.
