    My dad was an old school carpenter and has built everything you can imagine, homes, boats, furniture, even wood carving. He preferred hand tools over electric and used a brace & bit to drill holes. I inherited all of his tools and still use them. He used to have a 2 man ripsaw but I was never able to find it, I do have a 1 man ripsaw. Great project! I cant wait to see construction begin. Drafting, by the way, is hands on, as drawings will make your construction more accurate with less waste.

    I agree with Dan Pettersen. When I was younger I had always wanted to take a class like this and it is so cool to get a view into some of the classes that they are teaching in these workshops. And your doing a great job at filming and editing. I have no regrets for never fulfilling that dream of attending this course. Life went in a different direction for me, but I so appreciate getting a glimpse into what it might have been like. Can't wait for the next class! Thanks guys.~Dolly

    Awesome job guys! I have never used a small saw like those before. I know in high school, in forestry class and competitions, the trick with the single and double-bucking saws was to get a rhythm going. As long as you could keep it moving, even slowly until you got the hang of it, you would get it stuck and hard to start again.... then it feels like your trying to pull your shoulder out of place! I love following your channel and wish I could do the same, maybe 20 yrs ago. Just so you know I live vicariously thru you. so enjoy it for all of us!

    Your trip is probably my favorite videos so far. Here's a tip, if you don't already know, if you are shipping tools back home, UPS is a cheaper way to go. I moved my son with UPS. Have fun and stay safe.

  • @jpdj2715
    @jpdj2715 7 років тому +2

    Very nice episode! One thing others point out below: let the saw do the work. That is true but not easy to understand. The learning goes faster if you make (almost) elliptical motions in the beginning. (With a pull-saw) Let the saw "rest" on the material "away", just pull towards you, then lift and only when "away" put the saw back on the material. The lift is essential, also with files. Sharpness is retained longer, no material gets stuck between the teeth and it falls out with the saw strokes. After some practicing time the lifting becomes an automatism an somebody else will not really see you doing that.

    Awsome video it kinda reminds me of my childhood. Putting up a wooden fence around the garden. It took me 3 days and it was horribe in the middle of summer when i was done i was happy... untill i got the news that i needed to treat the wood for weather and wind. Mistakes where made and it only lasted 2-3 years. So lesson learned treat it first then build it :)

    This is great to see this course since it's so close to home an I'm also preparing to build my home. I'm just hours away in New Brunswick and will consider it in the future. You're doing one of my favorite things now, as I did architectural drafting in my four years of drafting classes. I adored them.

    I enjoyed the paper drafting scenes, it was like trying to learn whether to be precise or expressive. We used power erasers with metal erasing shields. I thought modern people had all gone to using computer drafting. I have been using Rhinoceros 5 to draft harps because it is a good three dimensional language, but what you did is much better for the task as it puts it fresh into your mind so that you don't have to think too much when you are looking for dimensions when you begin to cut timber. We had a Maine shipbuilder for a teacher, so we had to learn to use hand tools in primary woodworking too. I love the Japanese saws.

    The most sensible technique to start a saw cut is to fold your thumb under your hand.
    Using the tip of the saw, rest against the knuckle of your folded thumb.
    Then slowly using the top 2 to 3 inches of the saw make shallow cuts to establish the cut track.
    Next you can unfold your thumb and place your hand away from the cut and start to use longer strokes.

  • @RelentlessHomesteading
    @RelentlessHomesteading 7 років тому +1

    Thanks for taking us along.
    Laughing at the struggle with the saw -- It seems a new saw is often more 'grabby' and hard to work. I often hate the new saw and force myself to use it through its breaking in.
    Seems quite emphasis on hand-work. To each their own - I'd be buying/building mortising chainsaw, and setting up a looong cross cut station for rapid wood processing - would save hundreds of hours. Yeah - someday we may be forced to use hand tools - but then I wouldn't be embarking on building a house. I'm for getting the job done well, yet as efficiently as possible. But we all have our own ways of working. Love seeing you working together.

    • @Dubbin64
      @Dubbin64 7 років тому +2

      RH, i agree for flush cuts like this, milling ect, power tools are the way to go to save time, but the class starts with the basics and teaches techniques. I dont know much about timber framing, but I imagine a lot of the joinery is easiest accomplished with hand cuts, hence the need to learn the skill at a fundamental level. love your channel btw

    • @RelentlessHomesteading
      @RelentlessHomesteading 7 років тому +1

      Agreed - in teaching its best to start with principles and hand tools - but I never see any mention of speeding it with power tools on their plans. You'll see the pros mostly use power tools, more repeatable, accurate and quicker. There are many similar cuts being made. Again, like I said people have their reasons - I am certainly not saying its wrong, only saying 'my inclination' would be to speed the work to get-er done.

    this may sound crazy but while reading a black belt magazine i read an artical about those sawa you used . a karate instructor hhad a tree fall in his yard and he struggled with an american rip saw to cut it in to pieces. his neighbor who was japanese saw this and cam out with a saw like you were working with and used his his to push and pull instead of his arms and made quick work of the tree. now this story was ment to show how diffrent styles and practices helped you to become better in your arts but i think it applies here also.
