Solo Timber Frame Challenge – 1 Man Standing the Core of his Dream Wood Shop

In this episode, we take a huge step forward in building the dream timber frame wood shop at Shady Acres. I'm assembling and standing up the two massive H-frames—the backbone of the structure—each weighing over 1,700 pounds. With no crew and no heavy equipment, I built a pair of wooden gantry cranes from trees milled right here on the property to get the job done. It’s a true solo challenge, and one of the most exciting moments in the project so far. Stick around to see ingenuity, determination, and old-school craftsmanship in action!

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.

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.
