- 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.
Thank you for your kind words it means a lot.
Completely agree!
he's consistently capable of a ridiculously high output for one man
most definitely!!!
Thanks for posting and sharing. On video this barn raising is so interesting and suspenseful, I can’t imagine what it is like to actually be there and doing the work.
That is not a barn. It’s a piece of art! Must be really satisfying every time you fit multiple pieces together. Well done, sir.
Great comment
Totally agree.
I second that, wonderful.
Agreed. Love the way that looks.
It's notable (and impressive) that you took design ideas from the Howard early on in the process.
I've always enjoyed working with craftsmen who take such pride in their quality work. Inspiring. Good on you! 😃
I'm so glad that you decided to build your barn this way. It's a much better way to work than being completely stressed out with building and working to strict timelines 👍
Barn? I thought this was going to be his house?
@@RobertWiggersthat’s next 😂
totally agree
Yes the lack of stress was noticed all the way through. Having a plan helps along with a method and risk assessment, plus the right Tools and experience in using them. Craftsmen make it all seem so easy.
This beautiful, intricate , massive work of art. Something doesn't fit quite right...Kris "oh just give it a jiggle and a poke"! I love it!
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.
What a man you are! I sit back and look at my patio when I’ve pressure washed it and think I deserve a bear! Meanwhile a real man builds a barn by hand and makes it look easy! You are a very talented and inspirational man! Just thank you for making me want to do more
A beer or a bear? Just wondering, lol 😋
You deserve that Grizzly and dont let anyone tell you any different!
That’s so true .👍
Really looking forward to this, especially now we're back to 'classic Kris' :)
x1000%
Hornblower would be proud! Seriously, the Royal Navy during the time of Sail knew how to move timber masts and spars around better than anyone before or since.
Hi well I must say your looking much happier, not a bit of stress I'm glad to say and I'm looking forward to seeing your lovely barn all finished, it's the way to go, lots of hardwork but worth it. :)
Somewhere there is a Fairy Queen who cast a wonderful spell on this man. Because this is not even human!
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!
It's like a cathedral this barn. A work of art. Thanks so much for sharing.
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.
indeed, I too have been marveling at the skill of Howard and his crew
“No time line “
“No dead line “
Relaxing hard work 🙃
You do look less stressed sir .
😎
It's been a pleasure watching this build progress. I've learned a lot, thank you.
Can’t beat a kris upload on a Friday evening 🤘🏽 will watch when the mrs and kid are asleep 🤣🤣
That, right there is sterling work. Just goes to show those boys that helped you craft all that in that cow shed knew what they’re doing. Great advert for their abilities
Morning Kris, Morning Puss! So looking forward to this chapter of the Barn build! All the best!
So much more exciting for us viewers to marvel at you raising your barn in one month with only the help of Sam and Ben, assisted by a 'Roman catapult' contraption, than watching a giant, boring, diesel-operated forklift and a team of twelve guys doing all the work in three days! And obviously way less stress and way more pleasure for you too 👏
Yes,slow and steady wins the race.satisfying to see all the pieces finally being put in place,the wood.
Kris Harbour I am so excited and happy for you seeing this particular part of the Barn build starting truly impressed with the level of ingenuity that you have shown you have shared with the viewers ever since you began making CZcams videos congratulations 👏 very proud of you for taking on the extra help.
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.
"There's no timeline; just do it nice and safe", awesome✊🍀
This barn is going to be epic!
Much more enjoyable to concentrate on doing the job rather than on a deadline, and generally the job gets done faster, safer and to a higher standard 👍🏻
Good luck 🍀
This barn is just stunning!! Lost for words on the sheer scale and quality. In awe!!!
Just wanted to say that although you are not near completing the project it's really already become a thing of beauty 😍
Now this is proper building and craftsmanship 👍🏻
this series has been absolute fantastic! seeing it come together has been so much fun.
This is much more interesting than watching a professional crew put the frame together. 👍
It is FABULOUS Kris... and ingenious! Good team with you too. 👏👍🥳
That lifting gear is so simple but so clever, you can see now how our forebares built stuff. Obviously they didn't have Defenders or Tractors, they would have used loads of manpower instead. Bet your really getting excited, now as you can see that the end is in sight. 👍🤗
Incredible Kris, part one up and looks stunning already. You, Dot and the gang have done a super job. Can’t wait for the next part. Thanks for showing/sharing your skills. Stay well all.
I like that you put your enjoyment ahead of some arbitrary deadline.
Once again, Friday evening prime viewing. I'm really enjoying this barn series, and like everyone else here, I cannot wait for the end result. I was so impressed with the greenhouse build, but ths is just another level. You have every right to be proud of yourself, not only are the skills you teach yourself incedible, you make a great video to show them off.
I am so excited that you are finally getting the barn assembled. So much hard work going into this masterpiece! I am going to love watching every step of the journey. Absolutely love your building style. Great work to all of you.
Watching this being built offsite didn't give it justice.
Seeing it in place this barn as you always say "is going to be a beast".
Wow. :)
Going up very nicely the old(er) fashioned way! A beautiful frame you've made there.
As ever it’s already looking better than I’d expected. Your projects really do have a quality look. The time and effort is nearly always worth while. Just enjoy taking your time and watching it emerge. And be proud 😊
Really cool to see the gin pole work. You can never have enough headroom, so build those as tall as you practically and safely can.
As others have mentioned, I applaud your decision to work slowly and by hand. Your contraption, your volunteers / apprentices, and commitment to teaching by doing makes me happy.
Wow! simply amazed how everything is coming together nicely after all the hard work. What a talented group of friends you have working with you Chris . Well done, looking forward to the next installment of the build .
What an epic building this will be. Superb Kris !
I have worked for myself all my life and now that I am retired (65 years)
I find myself thinking of the things I have done. I am most proud of the
way I treated the men I worked with. Always with compassion and respect
in the way I talked to them and always had food and hot coffee ready for the
men when they needed it for free. I found that they always were happy to come
to work and gave there best to me always!!! I was only as good as the men
who worked for me!!!!! Just saying
In absolute awe of your engineering excellence. Some chains, braces, ratchet straps and muscle, what a creation. Loving it.
Bang on Kris! This structure will be on the planet for 400 years if the madmen of the world don't destroy it first.
You three are Egyptian gods!! BRAVO 👏
can't wait for the timber frame mansion
Hey Kris it's all coming together great mate. You've done an awesome job. Cheers Dan.
Absolutely fantastic Kris. It looks really impressive even at this early stage 😊 I’m sure the weather helped keep you all cool 👌🏼
Yeah those truss ends that sit on top of the wall plates are called birds mouths 😊 great tradesmanship Kris
very well done Kris & helpers, i must say Getting the balance better evry shot. i debt when the next bit goes up it will be a Beatty it will be intertying to see how you get the sky hook up for the top Trusses. Don't forgot to top out when you get there son . good show son .
Some awesome engineering Kris, so glad you took the reins on the rest of this build. Your visions, and persistence to achieve them is infectious. So glad you share these projects on CZcams. Thanks for the great content buddy, look forward to watching you complete this cathedral! 😂
Kris, I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again… you are so very ingenuitive!
Man what an awsome Crew and stunning job
There is nothing quite like turning on my computer in the morning and finding out that your next video is ready to view. I know whatever you are doing that it's going to be interesting and informative and it's good to see the smile on your face doing the erection using a small team and less reliance on other peoples plant and equipment. Little and often and you will get there and enjoying the process is priceless. Keep up the great work and thank you for filming and taking us along for the ride.
Wow just got home from a 103 degree work day at 1 pm to get to have lunch and watch this great video update! Your rigging is first class. You have got to be blessed to have the outstanding help you have. Looking forward to the next progress video. Thank You!
Really encouraging to this kind of skill and craft still exists today. At some stage in the future we will have to do it again without power tools...
Can’t imagine the work that went in to this 25 minute video. Thoroughly enjoyed! Thanks so much for bringing us along.
Amazing work Kris & Team! You remind me of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, who not only built the technology, he built the technology to build the technology!
This is really beautiful, craftsmanship all over the place…👍👍
Really nice work Kris, Sam, and Ben. She's a beauty!
Make sure you leave a time capsule in that building letting everyone know who built the thousand year old barn. It’s going to be amazing 👍.
Love Sam's Archspire shirt!
Excellent ...I'm glad you've slowed and doing the work yourself and a few helpers, Looking forward for more.
Beautiful timber frame! Congrats with the first bits going up.
It is lovely to see the timbers coming together. Be safe out there please. No accidents! 😊
Looks beautiful! Great job and ingenuity getting her together and up. Amazing what one can accomplish with a little hard work and help from friends.
Simply brilliant, from the planning to the execution its a thing of beauty. Loving the ingenuity of the crane.
I'm really enjoying the way you are putting your barn together. I like watching the old style of barn building. I watched Amish here in Pennsylvania, USA putting up their barns and even watched them cutting and fitting all the joints and such. That skill is becoming a lost art. 👍❤️📹🤔😳😄
I have watched all of your videos. You are a true craftsman Kris. You are continually improving your skills and it is amazing to watch. Thank you
I reckon this would have been a prime candidate for grand designs. Fantastic craftmanship and a lot of swearing.
What a great structure. Great work.
Impressive as always, Kris. It's a pleasure to watch you build this beauty.
Beautiful work so far, Kris!
Hello puss, hello Kris. Thanks for the video sir, love the farm, amazing craftsmanship and dedication.
There was never any doubt you could do this on your own. With a little help. You must be so pleased. It’s looking beautiful. Great job son.
almost like lego- wow Kris its going to be amazing!!!!
Now we truly get to see the size and scale of the timber frame.
Your barn when complete will be amazing.
Instant like. So good seeing the barn being raised
Beautiful work and craftsmanship as always Kris. Keep on bud.
Youv'e come thousands of kilometers and hundreds of years, so to speak since knocking the home together...An example of sweat and inspiration! Took quite a trip and never left the farm...
Nice to see your barn puzzle coming together!
Pretty awesome how you did your Derrick on the tractor! Pretty ingenious!
Thanks Kris, waiting on pins and needles for the next episode of your build!
Incredible. What a construction. 👍👍👍👍
Your contraptions are amazing Kris. Archimedes would be proud of you!
Fantastic ! An huge work! Bye from Italy ! 🇮🇪
Constantly amazed and impressed at your ingenuity.
Love this build! and you have been an inspiration for me for years. Bought my own forest lot 1.5 years ago as a result!
That is awesome as the track golden mouth of ruin by Archspire seen on one of your colleague tee-shirt. Congrats to all !
Well exited to watch this!
Love the t-shirt, Sam. It's looking a lot bigger than I imagined. Excellent work.
Love the lifting frame and the old school techniques. Great workmanship on frames
Looking fabulous Kris👍 Bloody amazing. Props to Sam and Ben, top blokes.
Great job Kris (and the lads) been fascinating watching this project prgress, one of the highlights seeing these videos pop up on my feed each time :)
Just wow! Inspirational stuff. Thinking about building a little timber framed something
i am so glad you always persevere, "can't" is not in your vocabulary, and its awesome to watch!! thanks for always sharing with us. it also helps when you have an equally strong woman by your side, kudos to dot for your strength behind the seens!
I love large timbers. They look solid. Great work!
WOW, WOW,WOW..... What an awesome video to start my day. So inspirational and the workmanship is top quality. This was a good choice to do it at your comfort pace as you look happier. Stress is not our friend. Ty for another video and look forward to the next. Cheers from Vancouver Island BC Canada
WoW thats a cool project. Takes a lot of planning, skill, time, and dedication to do it. Hope everything turns out great for you and thanks for the video
If I lived in your area, I'd volunteer to help out in a heartbeat. What a beautiful structure. As some have said, it's artwork. Well done!
I'm not sure if you have barn owls in your area, but if ANY barn needs an owl, it's that one. 😁
They're good luck here. Are they good luck there as well?
It is such a joy to see you work stress free ❤❤
