"The Big Saw" Timber Frame Off-grid Homestead Project

[TheForza1000]

Beats the old method, using a chain saw...

[Strykercom1]

ouch i dont wanna see what happens if that were to kick back

[kylefolks]

It's just a cut. I thought I was going to be watching something way more gnarly.

[startreking2007]

That isn't a saw, that's a portable sawmill.

[wildtwindad]

some of the tools i have gotten into for timber work are the japanese dozuki/ryoba saws and for the log work an ink line (ajima brand) come in very handy especially on kerf cuts and other joints......ebay is a great place to pick up some awesome big slick chisels for the big work and smaller ones for a very reasonable price....have fun man

Why put a copyright on your videos?

As soon as you upload them to YouTube it's their property.

Gotta love terms and conditions.

[DemonHide]

I was just thinking, "Man, that guard is gonna get in the way of the cut." I was thinking you'd come in from the other side if necessary, but then you pulled the tab and it came right up! Do most of those saws have that feature?

[Skoorbr]

Thank's, for all the great information

[squidskunk]

...why aren't you using a square as a guide..?

[upnorthof60]

Hey Cody,

Just a quick question, Once you fell your lumber, do you let it stand and dry before you process it?? I know when using logs for building a log home you are suppose to let it dry for a season to prevent warping.

Keep up the great work!!

good tool to have

[PushToIgnite]

Good video, thanks for sharing. As others have said, that is a big saw!

[SgtBooker44]

The right tool strkes again. What's the blade size on that puppy?

[22justus2]

I watched every second of it.....had no idea they even made them that big!!

[chevy78p]

How many AMP's is that saw?

[123SGTTOPDAWG345]

I haven't played with one of those bad boys in awhile, also sounds like you need a new blade. 5*****

[autobahn101driversed]

The big dog saw!

[vashguud]

Awesome saw.

[penguinistas]

Nice Toy. Did Santa bring you that for Christmas?

[RESISTCONTROL2]

Sweet, keep the scraps around so you can make jack something or you both can make something.

[beast12101]

that's burly, must get pretty warm

[NewJura]

I used one of these saws in New Mexico, building a couple of log cabin kits, man that thing is a beast but made cutting the cants so much easier!!

[TNPviewer]

You got to bust out the big guns now and then :)

[darkwing1a]

Now that is a saw!!!

It even sounded like it was having a hard time on the log.

When you are done building, the structure will last for lifetimes.

Very exciting.

[parlusk]

very nice!!!!

[MonteBusa]

[A63NT1212]

Wow, I could literally see the lights dimming on every house on your block when you powered that bad boy up!!! lol nice saw.

[alfabravo98]

i have been in the custom woodworking field for many years and never seen a circular saw that large very nice video and beautiful cut no burn

[MrDowneast]

Now that says it all,

[USNERDOC]

Very nicely done Cody! Is that a 14" Big Foot? That should really help out with production on your timber frame.

[1kings1918]

The 96volt Lithium cordless version available by Christmas!

[BigOStyle1]

Looks like you just got REAL serious about cutting those timders! 'Cause thats one serious saw! LOL! Thanks for posting. Keep up the good work and keep sharing the knowledge!!!

[joatmaster0]

Now THAT is a big boy saw. Sure is fine wood dust comming out of that thing, almost looks like smoke.

[MrColt45acp]

nice saw, what's the diameter? 12"

[wranglerstar]

@MrColt45acp 16"

[Lookinformemarbles]

Now That's A Man Tool.!!

[bblinda129]

I look forward to these videos. I can't wait to see the progress. Thanks for taking the time to post these Cody.

[jhawkdude]

There are few people in this world who can sit and watch a two minute video of someone making a cut, and enjoy it... I am one of those people.

[wranglerstar]

@jhawkdude LOL sorry I should have shortened the video. Thanks for watching anyway.

WS

[jhawkdude]

@wranglerstar Not at all, I'm disappointed when I see your videos are this short.

[TheBeeperman]

Now thats a saw!!!

[LivingHistorySchool]

I was wondering when you were going to get a beam saw!
