Great video, Richard! Workshop coming along nicely! Your craftsmanship is amazing!. You and Jennifer are so good together!! Keep the jokes coming! Looking forward to the next video! God bless.
Everyday closer to spring your wood working your fitment are precise amazing as well hard hard you work- the old saying use it of lose it keep on keeping on love watching you beautiful homestead wonderful daughter and son and family ! God bless yall
It is just amazing what you accomplish by yourself with the attachments you have created. Thank you and your wonderful children for all of your time and effort in bringing such joy to my life !!!
You all are just too funny! My wife and I just adore everything you have accomplished in the last three years. I wasn't sure if having all the darkened, scorched wood on everything was going to look right. I thought it would end up looking like the cheap 1980's paneling. I was wrong. It definitely gives the homestead a timeless appearance and a warmth you rarely see in any modern buildings. I am a convert.
Howdy folks, great day in The Smokys. Looks good around there and really enjoyed the building project, it's coming right along. You all shared a great mealtime with us too, good food and entertainment. Always appreciate your clean humor and the fabulous work you all do around there. Stay safe and keep up the great videos. Fred.
🤣🤣🤣 you guys are a real hoot together. Laughs galore around you. Love it and love your videos. Thanks for making me laugh and for making my day. God bless you all!!!
Another great video, love the timber frame work you do - truly a learning experience. The jokes were the best yet - I can't believe Richard correctly answered Jennifer's question "What has four wheels and flies?"
Good evening from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Your workshop is coming along nicely. My Mother’s recipe for French Toast is 1 can of Carnation evaporated milk, 2 eggs beaten, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg. 🇺🇸
Like seeing you take some time to spend with your dogs. They are your best friends no matter what is going on in life. Your project is looking real nice. Having done quite a bit of bridge construction years ago, often when wanting to bolts things down, so as not to take the chance of hammering in a bolt anchor and splitting the concrete. It was common practice to drill your holes oversize, & apoxy them in. Great videos!
Do you have any problems with cracking or twisting with the beams? Boy those two dogs really enjoy being with you Richard, I think you have them a little spoiled lol. As always I enjoyed watching Richard.
Hi from Pruillé-le-Chétif, near Le Mans (FRANCE) I like your channel, thank you very much for sharing your work ! I use a woodland mills hm126 at home for sawing chestnut. Chez nous le pain perdu (French toast) c'est plutôt avec de la brioche à 4h (Afternoon snack ) Je l'aime avec un bon chocolat chaud et du miel ;) A+

Pretty much just cut, mill and build. I don’t have the time to let it dry, or I wouldn’t have any videos, lol. A lot of the early pioneers built with green lumber and it didn’t seem to bother them. So that’s pretty much how I’ve built the whole Homestead.
Just some food for thought, Richard. Do you treat the end grain of your pegs after you've driven them in? End grain absorbs moisture like a wick, even from the humidity in the air. They might benefit from some extra oil treatment when you're done setting them. My opinion's worth about a nickel, though!😊
Your saw blades are dulling faster than need be because of the dirt in the bark. Peel the bark off the leading edge where the blade enters and they will last longer. Also, found Jennifer's twin on Lumnah Acres!
I don’t have the time to chip away bark where the blade runs unless I did the whole tree. That would take to much of my time. But I understand what you’re saying. Some mills have a blade that runs ahead of milling blade just for that purpose.
Usually the ends get covered with some sort of caulking material or another layer of wood like trim sometimes. I have treated several ends, but sometimes they can get missed also. I do them when I feel that they are a concern.
