Hey how is the beam holding up? If you did it again, would you do it the same? Thanks!

Hi, can this work for a backyard bridge without any supporting posts? Trying to span 30ft across a creek without placing posts in the creek. Thanks.

Sure if you build it big enough. I would build it with more of a positive crown.

Man....what a BEAST of a beam... There's a lot of meat in there for sure. I think the OSB is a good idea.

Yes sir, I am pleased with it as a first try. I am going to move the beam to the back row next week. It has three post. I didn't put enough crown in it.

"next time on Tony's Tractor adventure Homestead: putting a battery powered framing nailer back together!" HAHAHA. Just kidding. also, on that wood glue, do yourself a favor next time and swing by the dollar store/tree/general and get you a synthetic plastic brush. Look in their cooking supplies, like what you'd use for putting bbq on the ribs. When that glue dries on those brushes, you just pull it off or break it off. I use them for woodworking projects. Lot better than paint brushes.

That guide for the Skil saw is pretty slick. I’ve cut a lot of osb over the years just using a chalk line. Take care, Ben. #ogaoutdoors

Thank you my friend. I have had the saw guide for many years and it really is handy. When ever you use a hash tag at the end of your post, the post is blocked. I have to approve it.

If ya ever do that again, have the lumber planed all the same thickness and use a roller for a glue spreader. Make sure they have sharp planer blades you do not want a glassine surface for a glue up.

That beam is some kind of heavy. We ran into a problem, but we will figure it out. The sawmill went down again, so I am upgrading the engine and clutch. It came at a bad time, but life does what it does.

Straddle the beam with the tractor and lift it with the loader and 3-point hitch. It’ll work for a short haul.

The beam is still holding up well. I learned a lot about making a beam. I think I would stack them flat now. It seems to be the best way to build a beam.

@@TonysTractorAdventure i think i will build my beam flat on sawhorses. going to build a 24 x 10 ft loft in my pole barn. want to use as few support post as i can to give me plenty of room underneath where my workshop will be. 6 inch concrete slab was poured on thursday. waiting to cure. will be nice when the weather cools for these fall projects.btw i like your tym tractor and especially the quick connect for the loader. i have a kioti ck30 korean tractor that's been like a good friend to me for many years.

No expert here, but I would consider it "laminated beams" if the wood was glued together under some amount of pressure w/o using fasteners. Not sure if the kind of glue was mentioned?
