🔷 ABOUT SAMCRAFT 🔷
Samcraft is a channel all about educating, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and sharing the things I've learned since starting my own small business in 2018.
In today's video I build the massive wood beams that span the footings and the floor framing will rest upon. The beams are made from three 2x8 boards laminated together.

Love that you are including your son in the build-you are building more than a workshop-you are building a man with life skills ❤️❤️❤️

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Thanks 👍

@ProudPapaw88 10 месяцев назад

Seems like your son has grown a foot since the last time I saw him on a video, Sam. Looks like he’s gonna have some height to him. That is gonna be a massive shop building. You deserve it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

@mikedurkee7296 10 месяцев назад

Well, to say I'm jealous would be an understatement... I'm working out of a 2 car garage. You go! good on ya... love the fact that your son is helping out.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Hey, just a few weeks back I would be jealous of your shop! :)

@mikepetitt9624 10 месяцев назад

Sam looks great! Love the shingle tip! Had not heard of that before but I will defiantly be giving his a try! Also major kudos o your son! Wow is has become pro running that tractor!!!! What a confidence builder for him!❤

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

I trust him as much (maybe more) than my wife running it! LOL But seriously, I can ask him to do anything with it and trust he will be careful and safe to get the task done (minus mowing with it, although he begs to).

@tomowens2720 10 месяцев назад

Treat yourself to enough windows for that sweet natural light to work in while still providing ample wall space for wall cabinetry. Since you have huge access to the underside of your new shop consider running dust collection pipe runs under the floor. Also a good time to consider placement of power outlets in the floor for your big stationary tools i.e. table saw, bench and assembly table. You're building the dream of every woodworker. I'm enjoying every fastener you drive home!

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Great ideas and tips, thanks for your input!

@tomowens2720 10 месяцев назад

You're the man Sam and Angela and the boys.....almost forgot.....the 2 furbabies as well. We love thier cameos, they're a fun feature.

@richardzicarelli3193 10 месяцев назад

I am amazed at your skill sets. You have helped me with my own projects, and most importantly given me the confidence to tackle projects I would otherwise not have done. Thank you!

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Awesome! You can do it!

@morick11 10 месяцев назад

Sam, another great video! If I have learned anything about you from following your channels is that you try to do things right! I first discovered you when trying to find information about the Shapeoko. I ended up buying one and love it. I too, have recently built a new shop. I would have built it different, probably better, but I wanted a turn-key contruction. It was done in 3 days and I didn't have to lift a finger but there are trade offs to that. Now, to my actual point. :) FB groups that I belong to have talked about floor bounce. Hopefully, you have everything figured out correctly to address that. I have it in my shop but I know that my contruction isn't the same as what yours will be. Anyway, it was suggested to double the plywood floor which I could have done before I finished the space but I didn't, mainly because of the additional cost. It doesn't hamper what I do and I can still make things. So, I can live with it. I am only suggesting that you might have to double the flooring but I don't know. Anyway, good luck. I can't wait to see the shop finished and the things that you build in it.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

I look forward to putting my CNC to use again in this new shop! I've never had the space to use it in my current one. I have several projects in mind waiting for the revival again. :)

@janicebean5448 10 месяцев назад

I love the way you are allowing your son to help. He’ll have a trade if he chooses or more important, he’ll save money doing his own work.

@mistyrichardson6041 2 месяца назад

Thanks for the shingle shim idea for the application

@stevenhicks-pl8nq 10 месяцев назад

Looks good. Suggestion, you should put joist tape on top of the beams to keep water from penetrating between beams. As Just aa a precaution.

@Hosty_Tim 10 месяцев назад

Hi Sam. I like seeing the arial views at the end, it really shows the final finish. Great job with the drone.

@steveferguson1232 10 месяцев назад

Coming along Sam. This is going to last forever and you’ll be able to pull your cars in to work on them. Lol. Wow that just gave me an idea. If you have to work on cars, put a man door on the carport side so you don’t have to walk around both shops all of the time. Main door on the front and door on the back to access carport. Good idea. Lol

@orion6622 Месяц назад

Been a contractor for years and haven’t seen the shingle shim trick! Can people confirm they won’t weather out?? Love the idea - just hesitant.

@blaydCA 19 дней назад

I would have used metal, but he's not that far out of level to begin with. I've seen waaaay worse slabs

@jesusislord2457 10 месяцев назад

11:10 I like that you actually attached your beam solidly to the foundation. A lot of people on RU-vid just lay it down and hope for the best.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Good ole 40! :) Glad you made it out n back safely! :)

@the_atomic_punk487 3 месяца назад

Wonder if it’s a good idea to put one piece of shingle between the beam and the bracket/pier to act as a moisture barrier.

@da1shark 10 месяцев назад

When you said shingles I was thinking of the wood kind. The asphalt shingles worked out great and never thought of using them.

When you built your current shop, I thought you did a great job with a limited amount of space! I'm glad you don't have to settle for that, and can build your dream shop! Unless you have plans for an even BIGGER shop! *grin*

@ourspacesinc 4 месяца назад

Wondering if instead of putting the joists on top of the beams you could have cut them to fit within the beams on hangers to save on height

@ericjohnson1008 10 месяцев назад

The shop will be awesome.

@EngineersHomestead 10 месяцев назад

Will you be going with trusses on this build? Your old shop technically had a ridge board rather than beam, getting up to 20x32 you'd be best served with trusses like Seth did. I used ForteWeb to calculate the ridge beam on my 10x20 office (ended up with a 14" LVL). My structural engineer friend uses the same software for basic wood framing and double checked my numbers.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Yes! This will be my first time using trusses but I couldn’t imagine building a clear span roof any other way. I want this space to be wide open. 😎

@kindness5130 10 месяцев назад

Logical choices and explanations. Blessings.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Same to you!

@75keg75 6 месяцев назад

Would it have been worth painting the top ( preferably the whole wood surface) with a bituminous paint to eliminate moisture getting in and rotting wood?

@mondathompson2986 10 месяцев назад

@chrisinthecar5689 5 месяцев назад

What did you use to find beam spans for sonotubes? Most of the ICC and AWC span charts are for stem walls, but I guess they would apply the same. I found some deck websites that show spans for pier and beam.

@netwt449 3 месяца назад

I have no idea about this so I am curious: wondering why 6x8 beams are not used. Is it a cost factor or is it a weight to structure problem ? THX for the video; maybe I can build onto my carport using your methods ! Be well!

@tedbryer2512 10 месяцев назад

Question - why didn't you pour a concrete slab for your shop? I don't like critters getting under the buildings.

@djlhobbies2579 10 месяцев назад

@valeriehayes422 7 месяцев назад

i will be building a similar size building. How far apart we your piers? Did your beams overhang the pier- by how much? Did your joists overhang the your beams, by how much?

@the_atomic_punk487 3 месяца назад

He tells you at about 12 min

@TarheelTad64 10 месяцев назад

Looking great Sam ..Question are nails stronger than screws looks like that nail gun speeds up the job

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

Keep in mind this is just my opinion and I'm not really a professional... It depends on the application. Nails will bend and flex and withstand forces better than screws, which will break in such instances. However, screws tend to hold two objects together tighter. For framing nails are much faster and perfectly strong. For things like siding or finish work I prefer to use screws.

@winstonwilliams1007 3 месяца назад

@happyinharned9583 10 месяцев назад

I always enjoy watching you n family. One question about your shop, why not a concrete floor? It's gonna be great.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

I'm building this shop to be on the same level as my current one and will connect them someday. A concrete slab would have been much more expensive, too.

@Belg1970 10 месяцев назад

Sam, good morning. Was wondering did you square the beams to avoid the parralelogram? When you were hammering the end to make them even they moved quite a bit in the bracket. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

@MrDaryboy Месяц назад

What is the max width for 2 rows of columns? I'm looking at doing something similar but my structure will be 16 feet by 60.

@watahyahknow 10 месяцев назад

since youre building the new shop to the same height and verry close to the old shop it might be handy to made a small "bridge/ walkway between the two shops , will mean adding doors in both shops the small shop faces the road and having the walkway between them would mean that you can unload stuff intoo the new shop through the old shop and dont have to add to the excisting road , will mean that you have less wallspace to put stuff at both shops where the (double?) doors are to bade about the direction of the eve of the roof on the old shop as tearing out the rear wall and just extending off the back of it mightve been nicer wat you can still do and whont cost a lot is laying rows of pallets around the foundation piers this once the rest is build would allow you to store lumber and other materials under the building and off the ground

@thesplinteredfinger 10 месяцев назад

I think a triple beam is overkill for the size span you have, a double beam would have been good enough. You could have placed plywood in between two 2x8s also. It does look beefy and should support a heavy load.

@kayhelton701 10 месяцев назад

Cool beans

@garymucher4082 10 месяцев назад

I was wondering why you didn't cut and stagger the 2 bys so the nailed up beans had a continuous run with no ends all at one place.

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

That was explained in detail in the video.

@everyoneknowsjeff 10 месяцев назад

Just a question about yor beams - I know you said you did not have enough length to stagger the joints. Would it not be the same length if you cut one of the long board in half them put the one long one in the middle and the 2 short ones on each side of that? I just want to understand for my project Im working on laying out. Thanks

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

The length wasn't the issue, but the pier spacing. They didn't line up to be 16' in the middle span.

@michelejackson7201 10 месяцев назад

@vauzz66 10 месяцев назад

Nice. Work. Where are you located ?

@DominicChiozza 4 месяца назад

Did you have to special order those wood to concrete brackets? The beam would be 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 inches thick, but the only products sold retail are for accommodating 3.5 or 5.5 inch solid dimensional lumber. So were those a special order from Simpson strong-tie or can you find those at a retailer?

@Samcraftcom 4 месяца назад

They were an online ship-to-home order from Home Depot.

@DominicChiozza 4 месяца назад

@user-bf9sk5wl5z 10 месяцев назад

@terrancesnyder9323 7 месяцев назад

@robsdeviceunknown 10 месяцев назад

Why though? Why didn't you just build up and pour concrete? can hold more weight, last longer and heck of a lot cheaper. What am I missing? Code issues maybe?

@Samcraftcom 10 месяцев назад

There's no way it would be cheaper, not with concrete pricing today! The grade drop is about 29" as well... that's a lot of engineered fill to compact correctly to prevent settling and cracking later.
