I've been working on this on and off for the last 6 months, and it's awesome to have it coming together at last. Like the video? Give me a thumbs up! Check the description for ways to support the channel. I really appreciate everybody's support! Truly! Have an awesome weekend everybody!
From the looks of it that steel pin only goes a couple of inches into the post. A tractor could definitely knock that off.
When you have the time, you don't have the money, when you have the money, you don't have the time...:)...30 year General contractor...I started an addition on the back of my house; Four years later, I've torn it all down. Buy those temp garages, you either blow up or build with a tarp...
Your 80' lift parked to the side, with the basket telescoping along the front would give you a moving platform and two hands to position and fasten. I didn't know what I was missing till we bought a lift!
Why did you not use the arm swing to swing the arm to the right while moveing the cabin of the excevator to the left to get the beam in the right position and then use the tracks to get the last bit of centerd.
John, Hate to bring this to your attention in case you didnt notice …. You already found the screw that went from outside ledger to inside wiring and you mentioned that you wouldn't have hit another wire with that level of the screws in the ledger since it was lower that the wire in the rest of the wall. But, I just saw you nailing (or screwing) the upper edge of the rafters into that same wall and they might now be at the higher height of the inside wiring. Hope not, but wanted to mention it.
BTW, the splash on the wood at the sawmill would be a 9 on the Cremona splash scale….haha! Nice sawmill.
Hardest working channel under 400k , I wish more people cared about this stuff. Thank you for what you do!!
Some free advice from a structural engineer:
1. Think about sliding snow from your upper roof (can't see the pitch) - in addition to the extra vertical load, a sliding event can also put a lateral load on the structure so this may challenge the rafter to ledger board connection (rafter pulls away from the building).
2. Low roofs are normally designed for extra snow load due to drifting. In Canada, the drift load is a function of the step height between the high and low roof and the size of the upper roof. Drift load is treated in addition to sliding snow so the loads can become substantial (in my geographical area it would be at least 120-150 psf snow load). Your door headers may need strengthening. Of course you can clear the snow load off is you get an accumulation but engineers are not allowed to use this as a basis for design.
3. Due to 1) and 2), don't be shy with the screws connecting the ledger board to the building. This is probably the weakest link in the whole structure. There are calculation that are normally done to determine number and diameter of fasteners.
4. I would add positive steel connection (strap with horizontal leg and bolt into concrete) from the post to slab for wind uplift. Wind uplift forces are dependand on your geographical area but to give you an idea, it could be something like 15 psf * 0.5 rafter span * column spacing. The structure is probably not heavy enough resist wind uplift
5. Think about adding knee braces from the beams to columns in both directions. I have done a lot of insurance investigations on collapsed carport structures. Lateral instability due to lack of cross bracing usually spawns the collapse (google "p delta analysis" if interested in some bedtime reading).
Don't be afraid to get some advice from an engineer.
taking advice from engineers should have been done before starting project.
i like the content stay safe man
Some things to consider. Kind of wondering just how thick the slab is that the posts are sitting on. There should have been concrete piers with footings and heavy duty anchors like a Simposn CB88. I think there should have been columns at the existing structure to support the roof instead of expecting the existing structure to handle the extra loads. At least he has snow guards on the upper roof to help prevent the snow from cutting loose in one big slide. He should have drilled holes at the upper notch (32:41 frame) on the rafters to keep them from splitting. Doubtful those thin metal plates to secure the beams to the columns will do much if the wind gets under the roof. I hope the top of the columns got sealed seeing the structure is open to the elements. It certainly looks like he could have had more pitch to the roof.The other thing is you have a solid connection on the high end and the low end may go up or down depending on the ground frost. These columns should have been in independent footings and piers with a solid anchor for uplift. The columns are two close to the ground and may be subjected to getting wacked by a plow when clearing snow.
You've professionally touched on a few of my own thoughts about some of the methods in the video. While I admire Farmcraft's ingenuity and go-get-em attitude, seeking out some engineering advice ahead of time would ensure no disaster befalls the structure (or person) in a weather event, or other mishap during use of the structure (engine pulling after a heavy snow, anyone?)
Longtime framer here (in my 46th year now), and I felt the same about the lack of solid drag/vertical load connection of the rafters to the building. Raising the ledger up to the same level as the rafters, lag bolting it to the building's framing members and incorporating some heavier-gauge Simpson hangers would be a big improvement.
And for sure, the new roof could use a raise in pitch.
The other concern I have is the cavalier approach to safety. During any project like this, practicing very unsafe moves in supporting yourself, sometimes while working with power tools, and doing both while alone, can be a recipe for tragedy. Hate to sound like I'm on a soap box but man, I've had more than my share of injuries, some with trips to the ER. Biggest takeaway for me is, stupid really hurts. If you don't believe me, Google 'construction injury statistics' as a starter course. If I have it right, falling is the number one cause of injuries and death. You'll be rethinking the idea that sketchy use of ladders or other shaky supports is cool or funny.
Beyond all this, I do love the content. It's pretty awesome to watch someone mill lumber from trees on their own property and build something with it. Me, I'm stuck with having to buy it at my local lumber yard.
Wooww. What an amazing gift! An engineer! Free😍. Your Awsome!
yeah no kidding, with such a shallow roof pitch you could get like 4 feet of snow stacked up there. But he does have some serious fuckin' lumber.
Amazing. This reminds me of the man who said “work should be fun”. You must really love what you do. Very interesting.
I'm a retired general contractor living in San Jose, CA. I was a turn key contractor which means I did all the trades, foundations, framing, electrical, plumbing and all the others. The only tip I wanted to share with you was fishing for wires between floors. I always used a 20' hunk of window sash chain and dropped it down the wall cavity and fished from the bottom. In my youth I had rewired many very old rwo and three story row houses in Philadelphia and this practice worked very well. You're a joy to watch and good luck. Ben Vitcov.
I’m thinking that the steel beam is so you can span a larger area without a post. Also, the new beam should be named Mr. Johnson. 😂
then it would not be hand made but I see your point ,wide open space is much better.
yep, save the trees
you can mill a sturdy beam..Tamarac..larch is strong and it does not rot but it is gummy to mill. There is a special recipe for the water but pine soil or terbentine mix should work.
@@balloney2175 yes, saving trees by using steel.
And how is that steel produced, if I might ask? Steel is a great material, but in the grand scheme of things not really a good substitute in regard of environmental issues.
You can get pretty good laser levels for about $100 if you don't need too much brightness. For outdoors on a sunny day you need something proper with a laser receiver as well, but it doesn't have to be that expensive. I highly recommend getting one of those, those things have made many of my jobs so much easier.
I mean yeah, laser levels are cheap nowadays but also a water hose level is just as accurate and it costs nothing.
Agreed and with a cheap one, you can make your marks at dusk
@@JesusUruchurtu1 I disagree. They're not even close to that accuracy and getting an entire line drawn right away is ideal
@@WoLpH Agree, a spirit (transit) level is the most accurate.
Or if you want to be really cheap but accurate a 3/4inch plastic hose with coloured water in it they work really well!

I enjoy your knowledge and videos. Gotta love your” OSHA approved “ scaffolding.
Like old saying goes "time to do some sketchy stuff and I hope I get away with it do da de day"
Easily my favorite channel as you are smart and seem very genuine. Great work.
I love your work!!! You may be a Jack of all Trades, but it appears that you have mastered quite a few of them!!! I have been involved in the trades for over 50 years and I love your videos.
Please keep up the great work!!!! Thanks!!
Here in Indonesia we use small hose and filled it with water then stretch the hose across two point that we need to find level..
The water level from each ends will be where the true level is. Use gravity to assist you 😁👍
That's how my father and my cousins use to achieve level. Gravity can be your friend.
We do the same here in the US. He used the transit because you can quickly check.multiple locations at one time without the hassle of filling and moving hoses around.
Steel beam for one of those sliding hoists. Anyway, this channel, Andrew Camerata and Curtis from CEE are my favorite building/skill based channels. Outstanding content, I’m subscribed, notification bell and always click the like. Thanks for putting content online!
My workshop is also a bit messy "right now", and by "right now" I mean always.
You have a beautiful property. I love the landscaping circle around the house and shop.
Where I am from the buildings would need to be cleared off for a center pivot irrigation.
The Arial views are just stunning
The finished project is amazing. The one important, to me, thing that is missing is an inspection pit. Where is the pleasure of lying on your back getting covered in oil etc.
I found your channel about 3 years ago when researching solar videos. I really enjoyed how well you presented yourself and the information in the video, so I subscribed. I have watched on and off over the next 2 years and I just love your content so much. You are truly an amazing craftsman that can take on any job or project. I think you deserve to have millions of views. Keep up the great work!
I would have guessed that the steel beam is for a hoist, but you already put a massive wooden beam up that you said was for being able to hoist things... Hmmm. I'm thinking you're making a much wider opening than originally planned.
Great to see this build coming together!
BTW: THREE window AC's in your woodshop?!
Nailed it. I’m eliminating one of the posts which really opens it up. 3 acs? Not really. The main one on top broke. I had 2 smaller ones that I’ve been using until I get around to replacing the big one.
Was going to say gantry crane! Lol
@@kimber841
He could use
both beams for lifting.
@@jakebredthauer5100 Ya, My first thought was an I beam for gantry crane so he could lift and run it into the shop.
I have to say, this is an awesome project specially for doing it by yourself. Great video!!
Quickly becoming my favorite channel. Not only entertaining but educational as well. I really enjoy the heavy material work. Big timber and big iron. Looking forward to next week!
I got in a very peaceful calm state watching this video
God bless you good man
Nice tip to level the farmer's way, a 1/4 clear flexible hose and water, cheap and efficient. Nice job man 👍
My favorite part is you didn't have to ask for any help ! Awesome
I can only imagine the satisfaction of finishing a build like this.
Like eating glass?
Would it have been better to make a heavy bracket to anchor to the concrete and then anchor the posts to the bracket? A good strong gust of wind could lift the posts out of the ground. A strong gust. 😏🙂
I CANT STOP SAYING THIS: I love this channel!
One can learn so much with you! Your videos are quite helpful.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Fantastic skill being able to mill your own lumbar 👍🏼
A mild steel pin in the bottom of the green oak post will react with the tannins in the oak and will attack the steel. Stainless steel pin would last the life of the building. Fabulous job none the less.👍👍👍
I'm watching you do all this work utilizing your various machines. It reminds me of the time my son lived on a 2 acre plot (farmette). He bought a Kubota backhoe. We kind of thought he made a bad decision so we asked him " What are you going to do with that?" He answered, "Everything." We learned quickly how valuable having that backhoe was, because in essence, you can do 'everything with it. We moved 2 states away and he now has 45 acres. He uses that backhoe almost every day. It's really incredible how much work you can accomplish when you have a backhoe. Oh yeah, he recently bought an old 'dump truck'. "What are you gonna do with that, Oh, never mind..." LOL
While I’m no longer needing to build projects, I still take away shown skills that I can apply personally or for others. Perfect videos. At times I have to hold my breath temporarily, but am provided with relief on your recovery. Never edit out the situations you get yourself in, as we all can learn to avoid them the best we can.
The smallest dewalt self leveling laser, horisontal and vertical.
Hang it anyhow you want.
Its like 200 dollars
I've done some construction over they years, which just makes me appreciate the time, effort & planning needed to successfully tackle a project like this. Especially as far as I can see, a one man crew (did see a 'friend' helping a bit the lumber milling 3:56) - which is nice to see. I'm very happy that for some bigger, more complicated tasks; a 2nd pair of hands were available.
Looking forward to watching part 2!
Hell yeah. You have the Turbo John music going on ! He has a CZcams channel...
Nothing better to start my weekend with an ice cold beer and a new Farm Craft video :)
I wish I had a wood mill myself to make own 2x4’s you sir have all the fixings of a all around handy man 👍
That lumber you cut should hold anything your putting up there. Nice job.
Thanks for not dragging out the framing over six videos.
John, you got yourself all those machines as your companion that helps you a lot better than humans. And I love how you do your job perfectly and the finishings are awesome. I really love your machines and they are not going anywhere... 👍👍👍
That grain is gorgeous on that oak @5:36 @FarmCraft101
My wife will leave me together with my 6 year old daughter this week
I‘m totally down. Worst days in my life.
Watching your videos during the night when I cannot sleep help me a lot.
Thank you
Very cool 2 story dual shops
Love that saw mill
Blacksmithing area, machine shop with mill and lathe, woodworking area, presses, car lift, this is my dream shop. Except I'd have a little leather working area too. But I'm sure that could fit.
Love watching this guys videos. Along with being extremely informative/educational they are just as entertaining. Thanks for sharing and as always looking forward to what you're up to next.
8 x 12 beam. Pretty serious chunk of wood.
If you were to buy that lumber it would have cost a small fortune. Pretty fortunate to have those trees on the property.
What a first video of yours to watch... my god, man, you're incredible.
Beautiful cuts on those oaks ! No tear out I seen
I think the beam is so that you can put the hoist on a trolley and use it along the length of the structure.
I love your content bro! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. Outstanding camera work. Solo. So cool. 👍👍👍
You my friend are having way too much fun! Good job.
What a beautiful table that oak would have made!
Love the resources you have on hand makes a guy dream.
With all the ambitious projects you take on I would think an inexpensive laser level would pay for itself pretty quick.
Good job so glad you used the electrical detection tape. I watched a lot of the other and they cant find what they bury lol. But you did it right…
love the music 6.5 mins in or so. At first I thought I had the closing to my vids running in the background :)
Always interesting to see what projects you have going and to see the nice setup you have on your property.
Nice. Can't wait to the next video. Great work.
You should try a water level. Faster than a transit when working by yourself. Plus it's exactly level doesn't matter how far. Far better than transit. All that's needed is clear 5/8 or 3/4 inch clear hose and water . Cheap and accurate.
Great work. Thanks for sharing
You hawe nice humor, serious and vittig at the same time. 👍
I miss building... framing was always soo cool. Love the music, Jon
Well done - that structure looks amazing!
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
Fantastic video. As usual. Thank you.
That was awesome to watch... Stay safe!
You need good structural beams on the roof, so you can put a chain hoist to them. In my former shop I used 2 by 6 for the bottom boards on my roof’ s trusses. This would allow me enough strength to use my chain hoist, chained to the roof trusses. I had a concrete floor in the shop about 6 inches thick with integral footings and 3/16 wire in the 2,500 psi concrete. It would support any car I wanted to put in the shop. I had a 10’ concrete ramp at one end of the shop. I could get a 3000 Ford tractor into the shop. And I had a air conditioner in my shop office end of the shop.
If you have a Oscillating tool you can make own concrete vibrator first install blade then attach a square piece of wood to desired length turn on then stick it in your concrete. Hope that helps
Just like my dad, you need a project to finish the other project and to help support the overall project of projects with mini projects inbetween. Love it, keep the great videos coming.
Outstanding work!
also, to tie down the rafters, hurricane plates come in handy at 50 cents a shot..maybe 90 cents now..it s a time saver and it reinforces the attachment of the roof ..if you are in a windy and hurricane-torpedo area like Kansas or Oklahoma
At least you are not playing with your Johnson. Good job mate take care and be safe from western Australia
I am looking forward to the next video. Don't push yourself to hard with editing. Especially if you don't like it. I saw a lot of great channels break under the load of constantly publishing videos. Take the time you need and your videos will be loved
this is awesome. thanks for sharing
Beautiful set up! The new work area will be radically improved! Congrats
Thoroughly impressed!
very much enjoy your work...
thanks for letting us watch...
Looking fantastic, John! Eagerly awaiting the next one. 👍👍
I'm very glad you did not nose dive off the no no step of the ladder. :)
FC101 You are awesome. Lovin the work ethic, tools, knowledge, tenacity.and story telling/filming. Man you're a natural teacher. WHAT I CANT BELIEVE IS THE BRACES ON YOUR GARAGE DOORS ARE WRONG!!!!!! They should carry the weight down to the hinge side. Just sayin.
Lunch just wanders in.
Cheers from Aus
Many people build 3 or 4 feet wide porches when a nice 10 or 12 ft porch is more or less the same work..if you can mill the lumber, get it reasonably cheap, and go longer. It adds a lot to the Vibration of a place..You can hang a hammock, a Sofa, a Carpet, kids playing there, BBQ , playing guitar or doing handiwork like stripping furniture, building a door...and you keep an eye on the whole gang...of goats, dogs, cats, chickens and bears or moose. or deer.
Brings back bad memories. I nailed so many nails over my head in cap boards that I ended up with tennis elbow and smashed fingers from using a framing hammer.
Loving your channel... Keep up the great work
Can’t wait for part two! I appreciate your knowledge and love learning what you have to say! Plus sometimes it’s experimental right along side you!
A long piece of clear tubing/hose with some colored water is all you need. Water finds its level. My Dad had one of these when I was a kid. He used it for marking level lines on long stretches of buildings.
Man after my own DIY heart! I have hardwood trees (oak, maple, hickory) and no pine. Need to show my wife this to convince her that a sawmill is needed. Great work!!!!
What a great design
You have a great set-up at your home and farm. You have great equipment to assist you with construction and other tasks. Great job!
Great job can't wait to see the finished project!! Stay safe always!!
Love that scaffolding with your forklift, glad you made it through without any injuries. That wood you created is wonderful, very jealous of your resources. Keep up the great editing and camera work.
Great idea on the portable sun shade
That is a great job to do by yourself and a good job too.Have fun.
Are those rafters or floor joists? Perlin or rafter?😆 Great videos! I love inspiring people like you. Your willingness to share enriches us all.
Why didn't you just add a second floor? Short but good long storage for long stock. Add a pair of barn loft doors for access and BAM! No more lugging wood around! Juist a thought probably way too late. 😉
Great video as always!!! Thanks!!
I just found your channel and really enjoy seeing the job done RIGHT!!!
Thanks again Captain Farm Craft. 🦎
brilliant video thanks from the uk
You sir, are a beast. Great work! Cannot wait to see part 2. Thank you for going through all the effort to film, edit, narrate, and share your successes with us. It motivates me to get up and live some life I know I am capable of. You da man!
What a practical man you are. I truly admire the way you tackled the JLG repair and the trac hoe bucket and new pins!
That ending "plot twist" cracked me up good!
