Sit Back and Enjoy

The black walnut marquee project is moving right along, and today we're getting one step closer to putting it all together! We're applying timber oil to the posts and rafters, and the difference it makes in this black walnut is incredible. We're also making a trip into town to track down the 3/4" hardware we'll need before we start digging holes and pouring concrete for the installation. Of course, no project around the Outpost seems complete without a little weather trying to slow us down. With thunder in the distance and another storm rolling in, we're racing against the rain to get as much of the timber finished and under cover as possible. We're excited to see this project finally starting to come together, and we're incredibly thankful for everyone who has followed along, encouraged us, and even helped provide some of the materials along the way. Thanks for spending part of your day with us here at the Smoky Mountain Outpost. Be sure to leave us a comment and let us know what you think of that black walnut once the oil hits it! #BlackWalnut #TimberFrame #Woodworking #Homesteading #SmokyMountainOutpost Would you like to support our channel? ⤵️ www.patreon.com/smokymountainoutpost Second CHANNEL: Outpost Review https://www.youtube.com/c/OutpostReview Joe Maine Sawmill Blades 229-563-1172 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/smokymountainoutpost/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/smokymountainoutpost/ Website: https://www.Smokymountainoutpost.com Email: Smokymountainoutpost@gmail.com STORE: https://smoky-mountain-outpost.creator-spring.com Main Camera: https://amzn.to/2WvDOm9 Main Lens: https://amzn.to/2wsTJar Microphone: https://amzn.to/2QxGZ9g Second Camera: https://amzn.to/2IZxUSy Drone: https://amzn.to/398oWNt Canon Creator Kit: https://amzn.to/33ybIs4 20" Axe: https://amzn.to/2xaRXe0 13" Hatchet: https://amzn.to/2U7hYDX KIT PAGES: Camera Gear: https://kit.co/smokymountainoutpost/camera-gear Tools: https://kit.co/smokymountainoutpost/outdoors-tools Want to send us something? ⬇️📭 P.O.

Severe storms are moving in, but there’s still work to get done around the homestead! Before the heavy rain arrives, we’re making sure the driveway drainage is ready to handle the water and protect the bridge from erosion. Then it’s back to work on our black walnut timber-frame marquee. Today we’re staining and protecting the timbers, fine-tuning the fit of the rafters, making a few adjustments, and getting everything dry-fitted before it all comes apart again for timber oil. This project is getting closer and closer to final assembly, but the weather definitely isn’t making things easy. Sometimes you just have to work with the time—and weather—you’re given! Thanks for coming along with us here at Smoky Mountain Outpost.

Every timber tells a story, but one wrong cut can change everything. In this episode, we're hand-fitting traditional timber frame joinery one careful cut at a time. From laying out center lines to fine-tuning each mortise and tenon, every adjustment brings us one step closer to raising this handcrafted structure. Working with hardwood isn't always easy. Sharp tools, patience, and experience all come together as we chase the perfect fit. Along the way, we repair small imperfections, prepare the posts, drill for final assembly, and get everything ready for sanding and oil. The finish line is finally in sight, and we can't wait to see this project come together. If you enjoy traditional woodworking, timber framing, homesteading, and building with your own hands, we'd love to have you along for the journey. 👍 If you enjoyed the video, please LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE!

Our Black Walnut Timber Frame Marquee is coming along. We are Scribing the Last Black Walnut Post before we assemble and dry fit all the pieces. The Walnut was salvaged from the Power Route that was cleared and saved for a future project, which in this case became the New Church Marquee. Using bulk material like this should last many decades to come. Follow along on our journey in building our homestead.

Our Black Walnut Timber Frame Marquee will look stunning when complete. Sanding the Roof material has revealed a beautiful grain pattern and color that isn't bought from the Big Box Store. Once the Timber Oil is applied the Walnut will take another turn and darken as well as shine. Follow along on the Marquee Project for the church.

Our Black Walnut Timber Frame Project for the Church is almost ready to assemble. When the Framework for the Roof is complete, and the last Post is carved out and sanded, all the parts can be oiled, transported and assembled. The Black Walnut grain and patterns are very nice. The size of the materials used will also contribute to the longevity of the Project. Having a canopy overhead should also aide in how long the framework will last.

Black Walnut is exceptional when sanded down and finished with oil. Our Timber Frame Roof and Live Edge Posts will be very beautiful and will last for many Decades to come. The Trees grow wild here on the homestead and were salvaged from cutting the power route for Jennifers house built last year. All the wooden pieces with the exception of metal roof and screws will be Walnut. Even the lattice for the metal roof. Follow along with us in our journey to build the Homestead.

I was able to Complete One Black Walnut Post for the New Church Marquee. Both Posts are Live Edge and the Roof will be Timber Frame. The Size and Bulk should last Two Hundred years easily if properly cared for. The Post is roughly 8-10 in diameter and 9.5 feet long. Black Walnut is more resistant than oak and has a distinct look and color making it a top choice in furniture and other large projects because of its beauty.

In this video, we manage to get several chores done and checked off the list. We have had a Lot of Good Times around the Sawmill and shed thousands in material cost as well. We are almost done with the Black Walnut for the Church Marquee and completed the Facia material for the roofline on the front of the building.
