Nice work! Might be overestimating the weight of that beam some. So what fastener do you use to connect that beam to the top of those posts?

You are giving me ideas for putting a roof over my mill. Is that beam green/wet?

My son gets these, but I get the un-coated ones>>>https://www.homedepot.com/pep/SPAX-...IA-NA-NA-Fasteners_LIA_GMT&source=shoppingads

The ash on other side was cut down 5 years ago, stored under cover, the high side I just put up is hemlock cut down last spring so its dry/wet. Alls you need is 3 walls and a roof, 14-16 wide, 6' on both ends of mill, it should be your next project after the club house......

Unless your on FB my wife ain't talking to ya.......Circular goes 2-7/16 deep so on 6" thick have to use saws-all for middle, but on the diagonal splice the saws-all didn't like it, my son had to chain saw it then smooth out-ish with hand plane, on cross cuts the saws-all is ok but not diagonals. I wonder how those who build log cabins cut timbers.......

I'm not sure how that would work with the beam sitting on top of the posts... enlighten me.

Good grief pool man your looking at pool man prices, lets come back down back to earth, and whats with Wanglelstar, he have that blade on backwards, an Amish handsaw will cut faster than that.........

I'm still thinking this is the way to go no matter what my wife tells SR, a 12" cut, those $700.00 saws only do 6-1/4, wonder what that figures per inch, OUCH!!!!

Price is no object to me... I'm not looking to buy one so what do I care?

That blade is on correctly, have another look.

But you still end up with a rough chain saw cut. Why not use your chainsaw, you have one don't you?

Sounds good, and a couple pics... but why do you want to make that beam mad??
