I love the Spirit of Ringworm, it's a living testament to Just Do It and see what sticks ,people have lived in caves, on boats , in straw houses , mud houses ,stick houses etc. It's like building with Legos, you only limited by your imagination.
Bottom plate is commonly referred to as the rat seal. Doesn’t look like you will likely have a rat problem so why use one? As long as the siding starts below the floor it’s not going to get wet.
@@leemobai762 how much are sheer and load factors affected by attaching studs to the joists through floor decking instead of adding a bottom plate? I haven't done any calculations but suspect that using a bottom plate is often done more to save time than to add strength.
@@noyopacific What is the span of the wall, what would the snow load be, the bottom plate does not carry a load but more to keep the studs and wall square. Typical flooring is max 3/4” so unless the studs are toe nailed directly into the joists I suspect there would be very little to hold the wall up prevent it from buckling in or outwards. Last time I checked there are four walls. You might be able to nail into the joists twice but what about the other two walls. You would be nailing into the flooring unless you were able to nail into the perimeter I’ve never seen a wall constructed in North America without a top and bottom plate. The bottom plate also provides a nailing surface. Also take a look at the framing for the windows., I didn’t see any jack or king studs. But then again this is just a cabin that will ever be inspected.
I framed houses for years in and around London Ontario Canada and I see some stuff you do and works . The secret to being a good carpenter is knowing how to fix your mistakes. And don’t ever for get perfect my come and go but f$&king up is here to stay !!!
Having a bad day. And then I see a new Ringworm video posted. Day made! Keep it up! Can’t wait to see your finished cabin. Your creative spirit and humor are truly wonderful!
Deer will eat those cedar tops, especially where they're limited in food like da UP. I think the thing missing from your channel is the deer activity. Maybe a small year round food plot with a trail camera?
I have to say I enjoy your wit and the way you interact with the camera makes it fun to watch your channel. Yayyy Tito , build that cabin!!! Have a great Merry Christmas !!!
When you said black and yellow I assumed you were out of gas and was going to make him chop it down with his hands and b/y gloves.was glad to hear the orange thangs start up . It’s too late bud , I’ve erected ringworm style structures all over my county !
Another cracking video mate. Really enjoy watching these projects come together as you think of them, rather than having a plan, no plan IS the plan! Thanks for uploading when the conditions are against you, really appreciate it.
So I discovered your channel a few weeks back and chose to go back and watch all your vids. Last night i finally got caught up only to discover you uploaded a new one this morning. BONUS MATERIAL!!! Been thoroughly enjoying watching you play in the woods with your chainsaw and 4 wheeler. :)
Awesome so happy to hear you’re gonna have a neighbor! Hope he’s quiet and unobtrusive. Glad the cold is gone and you invested in a 4 season tent. Stay warm and always entertaining. Love our Saturday mornings together
I am a retired 30 year Class A driver. The pain from injury caused by heavy lifting frustrates me. Did a lot of tree work. Love it. Now my home is what I work on.
Cool stuff. Downright cold, in fact! 😀 You’ve given me confidence on making a structure out of raw wood using the chainsaw. We have some Osage Orange that just doesn’t rot. Lasts longer than cedar. And I have a grove of surprisingly straight stuff, not the usual Bois d’Arc. So I’m going to frame up a platform on runners out of it, then set a popup blind on top during deer season. My main concern was the chainsaw woodworking and making flat surfaces without an Alaska Mill. I’ll get me a chalk line and see how well I can freehand a straight flat cut. On another blind, I’ll need to interface the raw wood corner posts to the platform made of salvaged 60-year-old rough-cut red oak. That’ll take some reasonably square and accurate cuts to shape the inserts into the platform box. Fun stuff! Thanks for showing me the way!
@@ProlificInvention I don’t have the equipment for making a UA-cam channel. I might set up a tripod and take a series of pictures, but I’d have to find a way to post the sequence.
@@johnsadler8637 hey John where are you located? I'm looking for an osage orange limb about 5 inches in diameter, fairly straight, to make a homemade bow out of. Let me know if you have any interest in helping. Thanks
I'd never built before and built a 188 sq ft tiny using 90% salvaged material. I loved the framing part the most, learned so much about what to expect if I wanted to really finish my home. Framing was the bond between heart and home.
Hey Ryan, the Fasteners God's huh, you funny!! It's a swell idea to put supports under the windows they look heavy!!! I hope you get it built before it's too cold, so you can actually have warmth in there. Just remember propane is a wet heat!!! Keep up your content, it's fun & wacky, like you!!! ~Kimmy G.
Yay Welcome back, Tito. I like the second site, too. It looks like it's slightly elevated and will provide for a dryer ground to build upon. The first site has too much standing water, IMO. Great video!
Half the fun, to me anyway, is the planning. So many buildings you've already built could be used as a cabin. I guess you gotta have content. Happy holidays!
Nice to see the walls going up! Looking forward to seeing the finished cabin. I'm so glad you are going to have another option in the cold temps. I can appreciate how cold it gets. Limiting wind underneath will also help keep you warmer and maximize the heat.
a small wood stove in the cabin would make more sense. you want to drive an hour to get propane ? lol If temps dropped to where you`d want shelter, you`ll need a good heat source. make a loft at the top for sleeping. it`ll be the warmest part of the cabin, and save floor space. Or just leave it open floor ... Thank You for sharing your video, and letting us hang out. Have a Safe and Happy Holiday !
You guys are how most of us with little experience would buildso.ething that is for ourselves. This channel is interesting because of the sense of genuineness found in each of you... so just be you and your channel will continue to grow.
Very cool. Take care of yourself. I think animals respect that a human is homesteading. But stay safe. You and Tito sure aren't afraid of hard work are you?
That’s what I heard about fat wood “ fire starter - the sap in firs settles to the end of a branch, or in the tree settles down to the bottom of the trunk. Haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, but I will! Thanks for these interesting videos. I like your style! 👍😀
just found your site ! great stuff ! I have a hunting camp in remote UP- Gogebic county - off a forest road- will use some of your project hints. Where in the UP is your land located?
loved your video as usual, cant wait until the build is complete have to say i did laugh hard when you jumped at 14:06 XD XD XD " i dont know why im so jumpy " and what sounded like " kill a goat " " where is he " oh man priceless. Forgive me but that was plain fun to watch
Before the magnet in the hammer we used to put the nail wedged into the claw with the head resting against the side of the hammer and do the same thing you're doing with the magnet.😊
I don't think anybody was wondering which fastener you should use at the bottom of your studs (37:40), but all of us were wondering why you didn't add a bottom plate. Would also increase your wall height by 1.5" :-). Double top-plate is also a good idea because they can overlap in the corners, which adds huge strength. Just cut another tree ....
Might be interesting to see you try something less square, maybe a geodesic dome, but otherwise I am enjoying your authenticity. Thank you for taking the effort to edit and publish these videos.
In this case, I am going by my father's definitions of Knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge is learning from ones own mistakes, Wisdom learning from anothers. I watch these videos, not to gain knowledge, but to gain wisdom.
Love watching you build things and using stumps as foundation is so much better then trying to build up with something else. Maybe you could build something using all the bark you peal like lap siding?
Ryan I raised my RIGHT HAND but was talking to myself here in the house about the swinging log bed it is so COOL want one like that YOU ARE AWESOME WITH THE THINGS YOU BUILD!!! Keep on going!!! Always WRITE the numbers down on the back of your Hand haha !!! Other guy should name his corner White Pine Corners that sounds great to me !!! That sun light was so beautiful in that area also !!!
Long long time ago a old trapper told me never build in a clearing. So over the years of trudging trough the forest when I came to a clearing I would look and see why Mother Nature never put something there. And if I looked long enough I could see , ether water soaked or to Stoney or real mossy. What ever it was the old timer was usually right. In Alaska birch is always a good place to clear and build. My cabin is on the eagle of a swamp in a grove of birch trees just sitting on the ground on cribs kind of like yours are .
Going to recommend a Chinese diesel air heater once again. A great backup heat source you can power with a jackery or a deep cycle battery or two, it uses about 4-5 gallons of diesel a week to heat a structure like you're building (all the time) It would be great as a backup heat source and can prevent freezing if you leave for a day or 5. Thermostatically controlled and very efficient, you just can't go wrong, you can even adapt the exhaust heat for a water heater.
I like the way you are discarding conventional modular framing norms because you don't have any 4' x 8' sheets of anything. That's about the only reason that we use 16 inches on center. The screws at the bottom of the studs will help protect it from wind and you could use some Simpson Strong Ties to tie some of the corners to the outside joists and rafters.
Great video. The snow looks pretty bit… I am glad to hear that Tito id]s going to build a cabin for himself. I wonder if all those 2x4 questions were really in regards to his cabin. The walls are looking great. If you ever need a limited saw milling build I would say take a look at Modern Self Reliance, he is building a tiny dome log house. Might use us some of you straight, to small to mill logs. Thanks for sharing and have a great Holiday! Merry Christmas!
I suggest that you lay some wood horizontaly across the top of your Lean-to/tarp-shed. That tarp is not gonna last much longer, but if ya lay some wwod right over it, the tarp will act as a vapor barrier and the wood will hold the snow weight making the shed somewhat insulated as a bonus
Hey man keep up with the videos. I stumbled across ur channel & thought I would give it a video a quick watch and I got hooked instantly subscribed. Just an idea think of getting mercy made and i would be the first to buy a hoody or a buff!
Sorry I didn't get to watch the All the video my data is low so I jump to the end I do love watching all of your videos need to fine that nail you just lost don't want in your tire
If you build the roof first you can use gridline and skyhooks to hold it up while you build the walls under it. That way you don't need a ladder too put the shingles on.
The no bottom plate thing is the equivalent of cooking a can of frozen soup in a metal Callender to me lol but have at it bro, as you get further into the build you'll eventually see the importance of a solid "box" structure on walls A thru D, or when you get whacked with one of those 18" over night snow storms, good luck man! There's some things that just cannot be chinsed on..
Nice little cabin. Looks like you are using free stumps for a foundation. Do you have an idea how long they will last? I'm planning on doing the same thing. I love what you do. Please keep it going.
Some of the origional ranch building were built on pitchy rounds and large rocks and they are still standing over a 100 yrs...also the buildings were coated with a mixture of kerosine and used motor oil...
One thing about the way you are building your mini cabin, if you feel you need it larger, it won't be hard to extend it off the ends. Another ten foot doubles the size. If you have a log that is too big to cut all the way through with your saw, do one or two cuts one one side then roll 180 degrees and with measuring off the cut edge to set supports for the mill cut a couple cuts off. Roll the logo 90 degrees. This gives you a log with two flat sides that will be narrow enough so your saw can reach. Another thing you might consider is a saw with a longer bar. This would make cutting up fallen trees that your current saw can't cut as well as using it in the mill to cut these larger logs. You can even take down larger trees that you want for lumber or are a danger to the things you have built. With a bit of shopping around you might find a good used saw for a larger saw.
Hey Ryan. Love what you do. Crazy, original, fun. I sometimes watch a youtube channel called "Modern Self Reliance". He builds things on a whim as well.

I'm a contractor and I don't know why but I like watching your videos, maybe it's the delivery of a content)))
You do have ladies not just gals watching your program. Thanks for considering us. We love you!
As a carpenter of about 40 years, I'd say you're doing a pretty good job there.
Really??? Where is the bottom plate?
@@leemobai762 , my husband who is a carpenter just said that very same comment!

No bottom plate is cring-worthy... but your save lumber concept , bottom plate is a calculated sacrifice .... can't wait for the finished product
I found your Chanel about 3 days ago I think you have a wonderful thing going on there have fun keep the videos coming remember to be safe out there

I always look forward to your videos. It makes my day. Hope you keep going.
the "I don't know why I's so jumpy" scene was sooo funny! I like your free-style of building things!

Had a thought, depending on your propane heater you will want your mini cabin well ventilated. Propane heaters put out a lot of moisture.
a proper sauna next - soo many uses- plus the wummin folk will thank you.
