It's like a real fall this year here Nick, even a couple weeks ahead of this video it's holding up well and has been fairly predictable and consistent (which is rare:)

@@ShredPilewatched your vid with my morning coffee. Time to get at it. Have a good day!

Thanks David, It's a Martinez M1. Steel head, Ti handle and it was a gift from a viewer. It came with the curved grip that I modified straight because of a thumb issue I have. It is hands down the finest hammer for this job I have ever used or owned in almost 40 years of doing it. It's also one of the nicest gifts I've ever recieved:-) There is just too many good thiings to say about it so I won't even go into it but if you are shopping for a new ride that won't dissapoint you would do well to pick one up. Pricey but knowing what i know now I would probably pay even more to replace it if I lost this one. Glad you're enjoying the channel!

I think some of it is due to limited exposure to anything but local vernacular wherever that may be. Local to here on wooden pole style buildings any horizontal member is a pulin be it wall or roof. On a steel building however a wall purlin is correctly identified as a girt. in the Eastern part of the country traditional timberframes are more common and Girt is a much more recognizeable word although the slap nailed style in a pole building now bears scarce resemblance to the let-in and pegged timber frame version. A queen post would be the first vertical member to the left or right of the center or king post in a Howe style roof truss. If the span was large enough the next one out from the queen would of course be called the jack post.

I think you might be right although It would be handy from time to time when ones cord is hung up or you left something in the truck:-)

My pleasure, glad your'e enjoying the channel.

Great question!

@@ShredPile oh I see.. It's not you.. lol

fingers crossed Ray, I've been up there and I'll put something together soon. I've just been swamped everywhere else but there. It's looking great though!

@@ShredPile Awesome

It was a lot of seam closing!

So glad you're enjoying the channel! You know, funny you should mention owls but I was sort of tossing around the idea for an owl box at the very highest point of my barn overhang just tucked behind the barge rafters. it's the perfect height for a nest and still in the shady trees. That might be a way to include an owl into this build as well. Its the right height too and in a well established forest. What barn would be complete without it's own rodent control service? :-)

Thanks Joe!

I absolutely will. I'll have some more videos of other stuff I do there along the way as well which will include updates and walk-thrus.

@@micmike thanks Mike! You’re all caught up now :-)

Thanks Tyler!

@@george8873 lol, Stranding yourself on a plank or ladders is always a concern. It’s always good to have some redundancy built-in somewhere :-)

No kidding, the camera didn’t pick up the sound that my back made when I first leaned into it… It was a little crunchy :-)

Thanks, Mark!

Thanks as always, Paul! It’s just as much fun to see everybody here each week as it is to put the videos out.

@@petermetke462 Vielen Dank!

Thanks Robert! Did I ever mention I just despise working on small engines?

@@ShredPile I hear you Brother, but I hate slipping on the OSB dust, I'm sure you can relate to that too! LOL

Hey thanks for noticing, I had to get some help with that one:-)

Not really. I'm still enjoying the quiet for now and figure maybe another 10 years before I took someone on but who knows... I do appreciate you taking the time to watch and engage with the video though.

It does have a reflective element inside the mesh. It was a home depot endcap display, says Arctic on the front but I found a clone to it on ebay for $11 free shipping at the start of the summer when I couldn't find this one. It says 'Solaris' on it. Pretty sure I just searched 'mens sun hat' on ebay when I found it.

Thank you!

Oh man, that's a tough one John. I have had a handful of troubles like that over the years but not for a while. I'm about 50/50 on successfully collecting on them. I did gently remind one client who was months late that there was two ways to spell 'Lien' and that I was proficient in making both happen, That one paid up. I think sometimes that carpentry is so relateable to some people that it gets devalued because they too have built a fence with thier dad or uncle and they don't see what really goes on to make it happen. I do a lot of metal fab too and it does not have that issue. People have no real idea what just happened and they just write the check. Not sure how involved your projects were or if it was just a percentage getting held back but If it was a full non payment I would deffinately pursue it if I were you. Completely unacceptable. Sorry for your troubles man.

@@ShredPile Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I guess it is a matter of staying up front on billing. Your vids might be reducing your risk. Most of our deals are repeat clients and then once or three, we are duped when we trust a supposedly good project moving fwd: I have had a client say they have no problem with our fee. So, I ask: Does that mean because you don't intend on paying it? Different responses happen. Total way to wrong foot a project. Your vids show value added for your work. Hope you don't deal with the scum. Rant over. Sorry. And, again thank you for your response.

Awesome Ian, IDK about you but I just cringe when I see that rapid fire nailgun action just spraying across a sheet. You can totally hear that only every other nail is coming out of the gun. They just don't shoot that fast:-)

@@ShredPile Indeed. A couple of well placed dovetailed nails are far stronger against pulling out, than 5 nailed straight in. Of course you then go back & follow up with screws which is stronger by magnitudes again, which is an added bonus. I’ve watched a couple builds series where it’s all stitched together with rapid fire nails, non dovetailed & barely 1 screw in the entire house. 🙄 They might look good from a distance but in a really good blow (hurricanes & tornadoes etc) the low pressure lift loadings on roofs are much the same as an aeroplane wing during takeoff & if not secured correctly - the roof will part ways with the house, as we see all to frequently. I worked 20 plus years with my old man who was a carpenter joiner - then master builder all his life. Started building in 1952, up until he died in 2005. His builders registration number was 938, he was the 938th registered builder in the state since white settlement in 1829. Learned a lot more than I ever realised working with him for 20 years. I stop things in US construction on UA-cam that make me roll my eyes & usually bite my tongue. Stair cases for starters. Been watching this build since the start & very impressed. You get a heap done for a one man band. You’re organised & effective. It’s easy to spot - when one knows what to look for. Now don’t screw this build up when it comes to the stairs OK? Easy going ratio (7/8ths) & 7 treads to a landing & change of direction ok? 😜😂😂👍

I’ll be careful with the stairs, I can handle a little grief from you but I don’t wanna disappoint Pops :-)

Episode 13- Stranded.......:-)

@@ShredPile Almost 'No soup for you'.

You’re going to catch me at this pace Mike!

Haha Awesome! This made me a little nervous just now because I was just thinking the jobsite was getting a little messy. Gonna have to go thru it again first thing in the morning:-) See you on Thursday!

I appreciate that, makes it easy to keep turning the camera on:-)

Oh yeah, It's a Benedini B618. 59' reach, 50' under the hook +/-. Max lift 2200# from 12'r to 37'r and decreasing from there to 1300# at the full 59' For reference a 30' 5.5 x 18 glulam is about 700#. Its 30' long flolded up. machine weight is a touch over 10k pounds and there is 20k pounds of removable counterweight in the form of 10- 2k# blocks. It's at the very small end of this type of machine and it was sort of an orphaned unit at company that dealt with other brands that they acquired as they absorbed another company. There is a pretty solid 10 brands that have established themselves in the US and this brand probably isn't one of them but if you just youtube up 'self errecting tower crane' you'll find tons of info and examples in Europe which is light years ahead of us here in use, acceptance, frequency and adaptations. It has been a total game changer for me, doesn't work on every job for everything but what it can do is mindbending. Happy to answer any specific questions you might have if it's easier to hit me up thru the channels email.
