I am so proud of you and your effort to restore what most would destroy. You sir are an artisan, craftsman, and artful historian. I appreciate all you do.
Thank you. I think the miracle lies in the properties of wood: When the whole structure ist made of wood, it will egalize punctual weaknesses by flexible reactions of the surrounding parts. I have seen houses with more distortions as mine, that are still standing bravely.
Inspirational and entertaining in equal measure, as always - I so look forward to your new videos. My house is (only) 107 years old and I worry about tackling the big jobs that inevitably come with an ageing structure, but your videos show that there's nothing that can't be fixed if you're determined enough and have the right tools and knowledge - and above all, confidence. I'll say it again - truly inspiring work - more power to you.
I'm absolutely loving your video's on the restoration of this beautiful building. There is something about large beam framework that makes me wish we had these old buildings here in New Zealand. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more.
Great work ! and well demonstrated. Myself I am doing something similar on a 1616 house but I tend to replace more of the beams .. You are a true artist in wood craft. TXS for sharing
I own a similar house. I don't think I will be able to source such large timbers, I will have to glue multiple smaller ones together, aka crowns. You gave me some hope of its restoration as I now see it is possible. Greetings from Böhmen.
This is wonderful. I really appreciate what you're giving to the world. Thank you on behalf of future generations who'll enjoy the buildings you work on and indeed the fruits of you're labour.
Customised cutting are always taking ages to do. I just did a window scriber for an old house today and the wall is so much curvy and wavy so it took me almost 1.5 hour to do just a 300m little piece! Usually on a straight wall a standard full length window scriber won't take more than 20 minutes to do one side.
The use of the glue is something I need to think about. Is it a water based or oil based oil? I would fear that if water came into contact with the glue it might delaminate and cause weakness with the joint. Could you give a description of thought process on the use of that glue? Thanks, and I really enjoy your repair videos. You are a very talented individual!!
The glue is indeed a difficult thing... Usually carpenters wouldn't use glue in that way. The glue I use is waterproof woodglue (brand: Ponal). I have thought a while about it, because it isn't waterproof forever. But in the end it comes down to that: is the structure prone to getting wet or not? If not (as I assume), my method would do. If it does, there are a lot more problems than only the glue failing, so this would mean repairs anyway.
Hallo Herr Burger, Great videos very informative, Love your work. I have two questions: What type of glue (Ponal - I have read) what type or number - I have find them like hunderds and my other question is What is you painting them what product what it does. Thanks in advance. (You are a base sorce in my work and renovation)
Very nice repairs. I like your level and miter finder, looks like a very nice tool. Thanks for sharing Matthias, how much more work do you need to do on the roof and attic?
If only today people would fix damage home like this today , go to a place like Jacksonville , florida ,historical home would scared you to live in them .
This is craftsmanship. Perfect joints carved out to replace a rotting one. Good work sir.

True skill. What a carpenter this man is. Hats off to you..
what a wonderful and very sympathetic repair of these beautiful old timbers
Hats off to you for replacing the count marks... Excellent attention to detail and respectful of the original work.
Wow fantastic work and lots of it.
I find it amazing that with so much damage the house is still standing strong while you do this work...
Thanks, I enjoy these videos!

I am always thrilled to see a new video from your channel.
Amazing work, thanks for taking the time to share all of this!
Incredible! I did not realize that was the next building. Great work. Your videos are ALWAYS FACINATING
you have done a beautiful art job. You have that patience, love, and ethic that are all your strength ....
I am awed by your skill and dedication. You are an inspiration.
I'm absolutely loving your video's on the restoration of this beautiful building. There is something about large beam framework that makes me wish we had these old buildings here in New Zealand. Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing more.
Thank you. The massive timbers are indeed very satisfying to work with and make an impressive architecture.
Respect to your Patience, Dedication, Knowledge, Curiosity and Skill...
Another great video.! I especially enjoy the hand drawn diagrams.
This man is a real carpenter!
I love your videos and your great German accent. Thanks for sharing!

One of the most awesome things I've ever seen

I love these restoration videos, you do such excellent work and with a great explanation of how and why as well. Thank you :)
Very nice scarf joint
I have been hoping to see more of your house videos, or any of your videos for that matter. So today I am a happy bunny indeed.
Very impressive craftsmanship!
Wow, this is sooooo awesome. I love your restoration videos!!!
Excellent job! You have golden hands!
It's hypnotising and inspiring to watch such talent, incredible problem solving, loved every second.
Love watching you work! Find myself wanting longer vids cuz I can't get enough!
5:35 I'd watch an entire video on the process of making that joist repair. That is some serious craftsmanship right there, very impressive.
Amazing how strong the glue is. Excellent work I was a bit concerned about chainsaw above shoulders though
impressive and beautiful, and inspiring !
Thanks for sharing this, mister meister maestro !
Keep on trucking ! (from France)
Wow, so cool. Would love to know more about that house and it’s history! The scarf joint at 6:00 was amazing.
Wonderful restoration you're doing there. And you're much braver with the chainsaw on finish work than I'd be.
Wieder ein fantastisches Meisterstück!
I love these videos. Thanks

Way to go, keep it up. Very good.
Absolutely fascinating viewing Sir!

Beautifull work!

Super nice video, Mattias. Can I ask why you don't use a mechanical fixing (bolt or nail) with the glued joints on the joist ends?
Very inspiring to watch. Thanks for sharing
obviously me and you know who the good people are on youtube i see you all the time Williem :D
The piece went in perfectly on the 3rd attempt, so many projects go like this.
Nice work.
Really nice work.
What a wonderful project and so interesting to watch. But while all this work is going on are you living in the house?
I don't live there - too much of a mess.
+Matthias Burger nice video schau dpch mal auf mein Kanal vorbei
+Crazy Timber wäre echt cool von dir
Hallo Herr Burger, Great videos very informative, Love your work.

Very nice repairs. I like your level and miter finder, looks like a very nice tool. Thanks for sharing Matthias, how much more work do you need to do on the roof and attic?
I'm working on the roof at this moment - hopefully finished in october.
Matthias Burger So you have a ceramic tile roof right? How many courses of tile does it take to be water tight?
Yes, ceramic tiles. I'll make a video about laying them.
real craftsmanship
love your videos!
Thank you for this wonderful video! How far along are you in completing all the repairs you envision for the house?
What kind of glue you are using?
joy to watch . brilliant man :D
Awesome video
Impressive work 🙂
Very nice work. Just wondering what type of glue that is that you are using..
Thanks.
Harold
waterproof woodglue, brand: Ponal.
Thanks
I love this stuff.
3:45 what is the glue you're using?
very impressive solutions. are you designing every repair digitally first? sketchup?
CAD only for completely new structures (eg my staircase), but nor for the repairs - it's faster to design them while making them.
Fantastic!!
nice to hear from you, its been a while
Yes - I was working on several projects at once and didn't have time for making videos.
Very interesting!
Brilliant
The dentist does not make crowns!!!! The dental technician is the craftsman that makes all the things the dentist put in the patients mouth... FYI
If only today people would fix damage home like this today , go to a place like Jacksonville , florida ,historical home would scared you to live in them .
How can someone give this a thumbs down?
Impressive
5:35 amazing
German?
Gifted
WOW............
