After having made homemade lumber using a chainsaw mill, progress continues on the new workshop as Pa Mac demonstrates how he constructs the framework for his pole barn type structure. A great video for showing the ins and outs of building a barn.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)Ways to support Farm Hand’s Companion channel:

2 questions on the beam. Can you get away with using roundwood? With the top sill plate on the beam, did you nail it onto the round or did you square the beam up first? My girls and I love your videos btw! Your sense of humour keeps the 10 yr olds in stitches! :)
@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 4 года назад
Hey there, Marc! Yes, you can use round poles to substitute for most any of the milled framework lumber. It's trickier, in that you try to keep the size of the poles matching each other, and adjusting or compensating for crookedness, etc. If I were usin' stout round poles for the sill beam, I would not worry about a top plate, but might nail the truss ends directly to the sill pole. If the pole didn't have much of an even top, I might take a broadax and hew it evenly with the use of a chalkline. I'd also make sure the pole was strong enough to hold the weight of the trusses, with no large "knottish" defects in the middle. Think strength and safety; I wouldn't want that barn fallin' on your girls! (Please tell the girls Pa Mac says "Hey!")

@cassianyhvh7220
@cassianyhvh7220 8 лет назад
I always go back to watching the pole barn makin'. Two questions I have after watching this fifty times or so. 1) What was the purpose of having the loft sills 2 feet below the truss sills? 2) I'm guessing normally you'd want to peel the bark off of the timbers to minimize bugs and rot. Is cedar bark also resistant to bugs and rot so u would be able to skip that step?
@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 8 лет назад
+Cassian YHVH Great questions, Cassian! I'll start with the second question first: yes, on practically every tree except cedar I would definitely peel the bark off or there'll be problems with bugs and rot. Cedar has such a thin outer bark (less than a quarter inch) and it usually separates from the tree and peels off by itself a lot of the time. In cases where it's hung on, though, I've not noticed any damage that threatens the stability of the post. Cedar must really taste bad to bugs. As for your first question, allow me to rephrase it in a different way: "What was the purpose of having the truss sills 2 feet above the loft sills?" To start with, you can build your loft sills as high as you need em; I just wanted my loft sills high enough up that I didn't bump my head on em. Then, as far as the truss sills go, I could have designed things such that the trusses sat directly on the loft sills (basically combining truss sills and loft sills into one entity); however, that would have given me less headroom in the loft section (I'd be bending over all the time up there). I just happened to make the trusses sit a couple feet higher to provide more headroom in the loft. I could have made em sit even higher (3 foot, 4 foot, 5 foot, and so on...) but with every foot higher you go you're makin' a little more work for yourself. A couple feet seemed reasonable. Hope that helps, Cassian...and my best to you as you build your project!
@cassianyhvh7220
@cassianyhvh7220 8 лет назад
Thanks for your thoughtful reply and the time you took doing so. It makes perfect sense now. Have you thought of future solar panels if they ever get cheap enough? I guess if that's a future option then you want the building aligned in an east west orientation so the "broad side of the barn"'s roof is facin' due south.

Hay Pa Mac ! I'm wondering how you got those Very LONG and very Heavy beams up to the top of those posts ? I assume the use of your fancy tractor.... or did you use a Ging Pole ? I've done some Ranching myself and building it all from the land is very rewarding , but in my case a necessity... I made a 8hp bandsaw lumber mill that made the making of those planks far easier.... and less work... Hats off to you for sticking with it and getting the job done with just the chainsaw ! that IS a bunch of work ! Well done ! Bob.....
@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад
Hey Bob! The longest boards I used were 11 footers-but they were pretty heavy, being made from white oak and about 1 and 3/4 inch thick by almost 8 inches wide. If I remember right, on the lower spans (just above head high) I drove a big nail temporarily on one pole (at about where the bottom of the board would be) and set one end of the board on this nail, while I carried the other end of the board up the ladder at the other pole and nailed it in (then moved the ladder to the opposite side and nailed that end in). For taller spans (the truss sills) I think I drove a temporary nail at both poles and with the ladder positioned in the middle of the poles, carried the board up and set it carefully on both nails. This is one of the reasons I intentionally designed the spans to all be under 12 feet (actually 11 feet) long, so that one fairly fit person could build it. It's still all tricky business, though-makin' sure the temporary nails were driven far enough in to hold the weight of the board. A falling board this heavy can wreak havoc on a ladder that's holdin' you up. It's also good to not have people, dogs, or chickens runnin' around under you-at least people, dogs, or chickens that you like. (Just kiddin' on that last thought) Thanks for askin, Bob, and for watchin' the show!
@bobkelly2447
@bobkelly2447 7 лет назад
Ok I understand that part about the planks.... but the beams ...the 20' long 6"x6" or so beams that the rafters set on is what I'm wondering about..... are you saying they are 2 planks bolted together instead on one solid piece ? .... LOL where there's a will there's a way ! makes sense to me ! I raised a log up about 15ft one time for a ridge pole... that was an ordeal indeed... I used a Ging pole, a board with a pulley on the top with a rope through it back down to the log, lifting and Pulling on the rope at the same time got one end up... then I did the same to the other end.... once up I cut the flat notch and used 12" spikes to hold it.... then I used logs to act as rafters every 2' ( that ridge pole was about 6ft longer than needed so it would sit up there chained to the top) ( i used lag bolts to hold the 2x8x6' Ging pole to the upright log... nails pulled out) just so you know ! .... thanks for the info ! Bob.....
@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 7 лет назад
That's right, Bob. The truss sill that holds up the rafters is composed of 2 upright planks (notched into the cedar poles from opposite sides) with a top plate nailed on top of both-none of which are longer than 11 feet. (Your Ging pole idea sounds like more fun, though.)
@bobkelly2447
@bobkelly2447 7 лет назад
Ah HA ! that's a very clever way of doing it Pa Mac ! ....Thanks' for the Response ! I bet your chainsaw is getting a bit Tired after all that work... I made up an Alaskan mill years ago , yours is allot simpler and lighter! .... I did brake down and buy a chainsaw sharpener ,Bench mount type, from Harbor Freight tools. ... it was a very, very good investment...a must if you use a chainsaw allot ..... although it's mostly plastic it works better than I can file the chains.... (Just don't forget the depth gauges on the chain !) Keep up the good work ! and Thank you ! Bob.....

Is there any reason why the main posts of a pole building couldn’t be put on piers like the posts for the sheds are? I’m sawing up wood to build a pole barn blacksmith shop, and I don’t have access to enough cedar trees for this. I’ve cut 4x4s from dead pine and I’m going to have to either burn them to make them rot resistant or put them on those little piers. I think perhaps the concrete piers would be better for me because the spot I have is very low and gets low standing water when it rains. What would you do, Pa Mac? Also, I’m not far from caddo gap! I’m just outside Hot Springs myself. Maybe I’ll see you come the next sorghum festival.

I am building a cedar pole deck on the second floor of the outside of my barn. the two poles I planted are 14 feet apart. I want to cut a rectangular notch on each end, and have the same notch on the poles but the male form to fit the notch. Problem is my poles go up another 8 feet! I don't want to cut them off then build up, I want to use them for a roof! What is the best way to secure my deck floor logs to the posts without cutting out too much wood? Great videos!
@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 4 года назад
Gotcha; good question, Jason. I had a similar issue with my first barn in TN. A few of the poles at the back of the barn were a little higher at floor joist level than the others because of the slope of the ground. They were also a little smaller diameter than some of the other poles, which didn't help at that height. If memory serves, I just barely made a notch or "shoulder" for them to sit on (about 3/8ths inch). This way, it wasn't only the nails that would be supportin all the weight. The other option (or an option you can use in combination with a slight shoulder) would be to "scab on" a short board (say, about 18 inches long or so) by nailin it lengthways to the pole, and making the top end of the board sit exactly where it'll meet and support the floor joists. (The end of the board is basically your shoulder or "notch".) Hope this helps, Jason; and above all, build it safely and with much thought.

They'll work fine for the job, fred; if in doubt, just make a complete go 'round between each pole and see if you end up at the same mark by the time you get back around to the first pole. Also if you're not sure you're gettin' an accurate reading, put the line level in the exact middle of the poles; then, even if your line level is heavy, you'll still get a pretty good reading.

@farmhandscompanion
@farmhandscompanion 10 лет назад
You don't have to. I don't, mainly because if I set the posts firmly by tamping well, I don't see as how the concrete helps enough to warrant it the extra expense (especially if I'm payin' attention to the proper times of the month to dig a hole and then set a post). And should my workshop burn up or be destroyed by tornado and need rebuilding, or someone one day repurposes the whole area, they don't have to deal with chunks of concrete in the ground. The same with fence posts. Some might even make the argument that the concrete actually encourages rot by not letting the wood breathe. I'm not smart enough to figure all that out; all I know is I don't use concrete and the fenceposts and buildings I've built thus far still function well. Thank for watchin', Nancy! Pa Mac

+Thinkshaolin Well, I suppose so, Thinkshaolin. In an internet kind of way (I won't be able to put you through college or anything). Thanks for watchin', son.

Sorry you had problems with the music, timkrav1. That's just a mystery to me. I listened again myself and I can hear the gourd fiddle just fine (along with all the other instruments in the mix). I'll go and listen at the neighbor's house and see if I can hear what you're talkin about over there. Thanks for the quality control tip, timkrav1! and keep on watchin! (ps, turn your speakers all the way down or off, timkrav, and then go back and watch it without the sound until I get the problem all worked out)

Pretty interesting from where I'm sitting. Used these videos and the book to build my own barn. Granted, a tree smashed part of it in a tornado a couple years after, but I've about got him rebuilt. 😅 Nothing remotely boring here.
