Samcraft is a channel all about educating, inspiring, motivating, encouraging, and sharing the things I've learned since starting my own small business in 2018.
In today's video I build the massive wood beams that span the footings and the floor framing will rest upon. The beams are made from three 2x8 boards laminated together.

Seems like your son has grown a foot since the last time I saw him on a video, Sam. Looks like he’s gonna have some height to him. That is gonna be a massive shop building. You deserve it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Treat yourself to enough windows for that sweet natural light to work in while still providing ample wall space for wall cabinetry. Since you have huge access to the underside of your new shop consider running dust collection pipe runs under the floor. Also a good time to consider placement of power outlets in the floor for your big stationary tools i.e. table saw, bench and assembly table. You're building the dream of every woodworker. I'm enjoying every fastener you drive home!

Coming along Sam. This is going to last forever and you’ll be able to pull your cars in to work on them. Lol. Wow that just gave me an idea. If you have to work on cars, put a man door on the carport side so you don’t have to walk around both shops all of the time. Main door on the front and door on the back to access carport. Good idea. Lol

Looks good. Suggestion, you should put joist tape on top of the beams to keep water from penetrating between beams. As Just aa a precaution.

Sam, another great video! If I have learned anything about you from following your channels is that you try to do things right! I first discovered you when trying to find information about the Shapeoko. I ended up buying one and love it. I too, have recently built a new shop. I would have built it different, probably better, but I wanted a turn-key contruction. It was done in 3 days and I didn't have to lift a finger but there are trade offs to that. Now, to my actual point. :) FB groups that I belong to have talked about floor bounce. Hopefully, you have everything figured out correctly to address that. I have it in my shop but I know that my contruction isn't the same as what yours will be. Anyway, it was suggested to double the plywood floor which I could have done before I finished the space but I didn't, mainly because of the additional cost. It doesn't hamper what I do and I can still make things. So, I can live with it. I am only suggesting that you might have to double the flooring but I don't know. Anyway, good luck. I can't wait to see the shop finished and the things that you build in it.

@EngineersHomestead 8 ай бұрын

Will you be going with trusses on this build? Your old shop technically had a ridge board rather than beam, getting up to 20x32 you'd be best served with trusses like Seth did. I used ForteWeb to calculate the ridge beam on my 10x20 office (ended up with a 14" LVL). My structural engineer friend uses the same software for basic wood framing and double checked my numbers.

@Samcraftcom 8 ай бұрын

Yes! This will be my first time using trusses but I couldn’t imagine building a clear span roof any other way. I want this space to be wide open. 😎

I'm building this shop to be on the same level as my current one and will connect them someday. A concrete slab would have been much more expensive, too.

@Belg1970 8 ай бұрын

Sam, good morning. Was wondering did you square the beams to avoid the parralelogram? When you were hammering the end to make them even they moved quite a bit in the bracket. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

@valeriehayes422 5 ай бұрын

i will be building a similar size building. How far apart we your piers? Did your beams overhang the pier- by how much? Did your joists overhang the your beams, by how much?

Looking great Sam ..Question are nails stronger than screws looks like that nail gun speeds up the job

@Samcraftcom 8 ай бұрын

Keep in mind this is just my opinion and I'm not really a professional... It depends on the application. Nails will bend and flex and withstand forces better than screws, which will break in such instances. However, screws tend to hold two objects together tighter. For framing nails are much faster and perfectly strong. For things like siding or finish work I prefer to use screws.

@everyoneknowsjeff 8 ай бұрын

Just a question about yor beams - I know you said you did not have enough length to stagger the joints. Would it not be the same length if you cut one of the long board in half them put the one long one in the middle and the 2 short ones on each side of that? I just want to understand for my project Im working on laying out. Thanks

@Samcraftcom 8 ай бұрын

The length wasn't the issue, but the pier spacing. They didn't line up to be 16' in the middle span.

@watahyahknow 8 ай бұрын

since youre building the new shop to the same height and verry close to the old shop it might be handy to made a small "bridge/ walkway between the two shops , will mean adding doors in both shops the small shop faces the road and having the walkway between them would mean that you can unload stuff intoo the new shop through the old shop and dont have to add to the excisting road , will mean that you have less wallspace to put stuff at both shops where the (double?) doors are to bade about the direction of the eve of the roof on the old shop as tearing out the rear wall and just extending off the back of it mightve been nicer wat you can still do and whont cost a lot is laying rows of pallets around the foundation piers this once the rest is build would allow you to store lumber and other materials under the building and off the ground

@garymucher4082 8 ай бұрын

I was wondering why you didn't cut and stagger the 2 bys so the nailed up beans had a continuous run with no ends all at one place.

@Samcraftcom 8 ай бұрын

That was explained in detail in the video.

@thesplinteredfinger 8 ай бұрын

I think a triple beam is overkill for the size span you have, a double beam would have been good enough. You could have placed plywood in between two 2x8s also. It does look beefy and should support a heavy load.

Did you have to special order those wood to concrete brackets? The beam would be 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 inches thick, but the only products sold retail are for accommodating 3.5 or 5.5 inch solid dimensional lumber. So were those a special order from Simpson strong-tie or can you find those at a retailer?

Why though? Why didn't you just build up and pour concrete? can hold more weight, last longer and heck of a lot cheaper. What am I missing? Code issues maybe?

@Samcraftcom 8 ай бұрын

There's no way it would be cheaper, not with concrete pricing today! The grade drop is about 29" as well... that's a lot of engineered fill to compact correctly to prevent settling and cracking later.
