Right hey everyone we are back in the barn the gang is back working on the frame so just delivered
the last of the timbers we need that you saw milling in the last video me and Nye are just
cutting out the last braces we need we need eight more braces to finish we just cut out four which
i've been prioritizing doing that before starting a video this frame is the frame that was left here
in the last framing video and we just cut these braces out so Nye uh not Nye Howard and Steve
are going to scribe them and then we'll have a big cutting out session get that cross frame done
and there's one more of them to do and then we've got uh three trusses to do as well
right we've reached a bit of a milestone and that is all the braces are done so please do like that
i think i've made about 50 of them so far so now i'm going to get on and help the guys
clean out mortises yeah busy busy busy
yeah i think i just managed to squeeze it in there and it came apart and i'll tap the
and then it is three trusses and we're done done in here anyway still loads to do but done in here
yeah so we're just uh doing the chisel marks and then it's going in the stack
and that's going to be come back to my place soon enough and then we'll be putting it up
right another frame packed away and in the stack and we're just starting to lay out another one
just had a bit of tidy up in here as well because we've got to be out of it soon
so uh yeah a few people in some of the first videos i did were asking how the uh the frame's
going to get moved back to my place well it comes back apart and take it like that
all with one big stack and then put it back together again so yeah that was the answer for
that one so yeah we're going to get this one more frame sorted out and laid up and we'll carry on
with that tomorrow yeah i was going to trailer everything back so my trailer same way it all came
here because we're in a rush to get it out i've got a small lorry with a crane coming and we're
just going to put it all on one load because it's like five or six trips otherwise on the trailer
because there's about 60 of these timbers i think in total so it's quite quite a lot of weight quite
a lot of mass so just going to get a small lorry to do it and then we can get out of it quicker
should give us another day's extra time then in the barn
all right another day in the barn friday and just got the last cross frame cross frame number five
well it's actually a middle one but it's the fifth last one we need to do steve just started
cutting out some of the joinery for it and i'm over there putting in the last of two post bases
so we're getting some pivotal points here today last cross frame last post feet all going in the
stack and it won't be long now this will be going back to my place it'll be done in standing
all right hey everyone last cross frame going together so the big cutting out session on it
we all got on howard was on the mortiser everyone else cleaning out mortises and drilling peg holes
and nye's been carrying on dating in all of the truss timbers i've got the last of the post feet
mounted that we need to do in the barn here anyway and now we just got to see if this goes together
first fit if it does that is cross frames done and i haven't filmed it because it's just a repeat
of something you've seen loads of times now yeah so we'll see if this goes together if it does
brilliant and hopefully we don't have to take it apart again
uh no do you want to swing that bottom of that post around
entirety there we go
see you later steve well done right so we've reached a pivotal point in the build that's all
the cross frames done didn't film much of it because obviously we've done five of these now
so we had a good day today getting that done i did two post spaces and we got some timbers
dating dating up ready for doing the trusses so yeah that's going to get packed away now in the
stack ready to go back to my place and it's three trusses and then we're out of here
and then we'll be putting it up all right it's a weekend now so we'll have a rest and then we'll
get back to this on monday but monday tuesday wednesday we're out right it is monday morning
nye and howard came in saturday cleared away the last cross frame started laying out these um
trusses so me and steve are just going to start dating up and getting we need three and nye and
howard have got two laid out so we're just going to start laying out a third one and then we'll
no we're not like you know you might have had the coffin maker
that should be 2.2 right
oh it should be two from the hundred 2.1
so it needs to come over a tiny tiny bit too much
we're just there that's it
now it's all fixed in place we've got a tiny little gap down here
no gap up here so we do a kerf cut and that'll squeeze up then
what are you up to howard? i am doing more scribes for one of the last trusses
so we've got a bit of a clamp issue with clamps being in the way but we're getting there
we've got a bit of a double scribe here because this face is
like a bow just got a hump in the middle yeah which most of it will be taken out when we take
the mortise out the middle but i'm having to scribe this side of it the center line this way
oh right yeah i see it's quite fun add to the mix yeah all three trusses are underway
howard's on one nye's on one me and steve are on one at the back
so steve's just scribing the tenon for this truss that we've just laid out
i'm not i'm not having much luck here
so
that one's coming out drive that in a second
although
what's the um what's your hole spacing so we can copy it uh 90 so from the end 9 18 27
right it's 100 mil between but we wanted to squeeze free didn't we so it's got
so 90 mil in between 35 from the edge yeah cool
yeah the truss we were working on went together just needs a couple of kerf cuts in the morning
and that'll be right and so that's one almost down it's like an hour work
and then howard and i got one here that's done i believe just needs feet cuts and the top cutting
on it and chisel marks and things and then we've got one more to do tomorrow and all the little
finishing off and tidying up bits and then we're we're done in the barn which is exciting
yeah we'll uh we'll carry on tomorrow all right hey everyone it is the final day in the barn
so i've just loaded up all the braces take back to my place they're all stacked up there
steve's just going through the truss we did yesterday just making sure that all the joints
fit nice and all the measurements are correct as always doing lovely job howard and i have
packed away the one they did yesterday and i've just started to do the third one last one
and then uh out of here tomorrow so the stack is getting pretty big here's the stack look
so that's uh trusses and then that's all the uh frames and cross frames
yeah it's a big old stack a lot of work went into that
so yeah all of that's going on the lorry tomorrow
and uh gonna deliver it at my place and try and put it in somewhat of a
logical order and then in a few weeks time we'll be putting it up
the kerf cut's a useful little trick with things is that you know this some sometimes you've got
a tiny little you know discrepancy at the bottom of a joint and a gap at the top you just run a
saw down and then the width of the saw usually closes that gap up with a kerf cut very handy
little technique to use not just for timber framing for all sorts of stuff
there you go now you did the last cut in the barn
that's it so that's it that was the last cut needed to do on the frame well actually we still
got to do the truss lay up the wall plate but we're doing that at my place we run out of time
that's it it's done it's ready to go in the stack tomorrow it's come back to mine on the lorry
and then we're going to reconvene in a few weeks to put it up after you've done the wall plate
layout all right so you watch me load it up and take it back to my place tomorrow
hey everyone well uh everything kind of went wrong a bit quickly after that uh last video
clip i went there to go and collect all the uh to bring all the stuff back on the lorry
and it's supposed to be a nice little flatbed lorry small one with a crane on the back that's
going to take it all the lorry showed up and it was like an old scrap metal lorry with like gravel
and oil in the back and old radiators and push bikes and there was no means of strapping anything
down because it had like metal sides on it i couldn't load it it was just not suitable at all
so sent it away started trailing it so moved it all by hand and loaded it by hand so we've got
the wall plates and the trusses here and then tomorrow i have to go back me and nigh are going
to just uh trailer it all back so nigh is going to be with me all day we're just going to do like
three trips with the trailer and just offload it by hand and stack it all up so i'm a bit flustered
but uh we'll get it done yeah it's just not uh not what the plan was it's gonna be ridiculously
heavy you pick it up first ready oh it's not that bad are you okay i got it ready yep that one's heavy
all right ready you have to keep going back wait i can't get anywhere near otherwise there we go
that's it so what's that one there then
last post she's not too bad
to keep going back watch that board yeah
but it's somewhere in the middle i use that as like a support for a little
tower thing going over it to protect them oh well done mate good work oh man all right so as you saw
from that last clip me and nigh managed to get all the timber here i've got it sort of uh roughly
covered up it's all under there there's a lot of it um lifting all that has put my back in no real
position to do much more than that with it at the moment so i need a bit of a rest from it but it's
getting air flow through it i've crawled under there it's not too hot it's certainly not hotter
under there than it is out here and it's keeping the direct sunlight off of it and it seems for
the most part to stop cracking because i could hear it cracking for a little while so yeah that
is it that is the frame here it's on site it's ready to go up uh just need to figure some stuff
out do some organizing and then we'll work out getting this thing put up so yeah anyway that's
the end of this video hope you enjoyed it and thanks for watching
