Milling Our Own Beams for the Timber Frame Shop

Today at Shady Acres, we finally turn those logs from the forest into usable timbers for Phase 2 of the dream timber frame shop. Using the Wood-Mizer sawmill, I break down each log into rough-dimensioned beams that will soon become posts, braces, and more structural elements. It’s a big step forward as the pile of raw logs transforms into the building blocks of the shop. Progress is measured in sawdust!

This is a "MAKER" channel so join me for a journey as I transition from a 27 year military career to a full time creative.

I am a Maker and encouraging others to participate in the Maker movement. I have coined the term "Creative Brain" which is how I describe myself. A creative brain is someone who's mind is always consumed in the creative process of coming up with new ideas, solutions to problems, and draws a pure sense of life enjoyment from the satisfaction of producing something that may not always be useful.

SIDE NOTE:
I am the 1 and only Chad Ryg. There have been thousands of social media and dating profile accounts made using my pictures and pieces of my narrative in the military and using my children to perpetuate standard Nigerian Romance scams.
Please don't contact me if you think we have a relationship or to inform me that someone has "stolen" my identity. I don't have time to have this discussion with someone new every other day as is the case.
With that said, please feel free to subscribe and follow along.
