Thanks for having me guys:)
That work went super fast man! Also, it looks very neat! Nice job 👍
Awesome work bro, I enjoyed watching the way you worked in this episode. A pitty you're not here to stay for a while, you have a very positive energy 😊👌🏻
You did a amazing job with the room 👍
Good work ❤
Great job! Sadly you're already gone!
11:17 --> Well played by the editor for making the hammer beats sync the music haha.
When the rain comes, you might have issues with the floor buckling, as water will seep under the foundation from outside the walls, and then be trapped under the wood. I didnt see you put any plastic mil under the floor to act as a moisture/ vapor barrier... It looks great, be a shame to have it get moldy...
Sweat can really damage leather gloves. One solution is to wash them with saddle soap after every use (time-consuming!) another is there are some light cotton "under gloves" like socks for your hands, that help to absorb the sweat.
Carpet strips would be better than gloves alone. Correct?
Yeah i use the cotton undergloves all the time and it also helps if you have irritable skin!
We similarly use undergloves when playing Fives, an English sport using leather gloves.
ridiculous. you think cowboys have been wearing cotton undergloves? or saddle soap on their leather gloves for 150 years on every continent ?? just silly.
shouldn't there be a moisture barrier between the bare ground and the wood? it seems like humidity from the ground could cause the wood to warp over time
I was wondering the same
not only warp, but in time it will get mold and mildew underneath with damp and no air flow.
Yes agreed I thought the same! Also critters & a animals getting under there... Think a moisture barrier with a concrete slab then the wooden floor would of been the right way to build!!
They are in Portugal in a quite dry area. They have experience from storing the wood inside. As long as they are not cooking or sleeping inside, i guess it should be fine
Too late. The floor is down. In winter the concrete plinths will saturate the direct contact wood column supports. Lasts two years is my best guess. Steel stirrups would have helped too.
Don't know if it's a good idea to not seal that subfloor in some way. There will always be moisture evaporating out of the ground. And below that wooden floor there is barely any air circulating to remove it.
no vapor barriers? In a country where is rains continuously during the winter season, you're gonna need something to keep the moisture at bay!
Yes, they had to completely empty out and clean the kitchen from top to bottom due to humidity creating mould. You don't want to have many spaces where that is a seasonal thing.
I always use welding gloves for brambles. They are stronger, last longer and protect a larger part of your arm. My welding gloves go through this life cycle: cooking (as oven glove, but better), once they get dirty I start using them for welding, and if they get too much burnt fingertips I'll start gardening with them
perfect bbq gloves too
Love to see you being such an asset to your local community, so many hands available must be so welcome for the neighbours, good on you all! Even if it detracts from efforts elsewhere occasionally it's content I love to see
Love Ruben! Such a warm and positive person, and a great worker! Welcome to PK
Instead of just pulling at the brambles it would be much better to cut them first and then move them. By just pulling at them before they've been cut, you are adding too much pressure on the gloves and increasing the chance of the thorns ripping holes in them .
Exactly this. The spikes of the brambles are there to avoid exactlythat kind of action, you have to cut them in pieces before moving them.
Just a suggestion, for the new room in the ruin, you should cement close (the hole under the frame) the step at the door to prevent rats/mice entering under the floor.
You might consider using a saddle stitch and a stitching awl (or pricking irons) to fix those gloves. A stitching saddle makes the process easier too.
There are lots of environmentally friendly glues available too. If you get a flexible glue you can dip the fingers in it to strengthen the gloves against wear too. Just make sure not to glue the fingers together.😊
Reuben has done a fantastic job with the ruin! The inside floor and walls look great, I ❤ the door! 👍
Nice work all of you helping your neighbor with the bundles of hay for the animals!😊
Another suggestion is to use the Mimosa bark with the Mimosa resin and ash to repair your leather gloves. Completely sustainable, may or may not wear out faster, but no need to buy anything because it is already on your land. Many uses for resin, perhaps infuse the resin into the Mimosa bark for a sturdier seat base.
You need to counter-sink your screws. Especially when they're on the floor and will catch things!
Its in the wood so no need, especially with an impact driver
You guys might want to look into rawhide gloves often used in rodeo or livestock work. They take a bit to wear in and get less stiff but they are also tough as nails. There is also the Kevlar option which is cut and puncture resistant often used in military and police work.
Noticed two damp areas once the rubble was removed. Any reason for not damp proofing the floor. Saw that you elevated the base frame on levelling rocks. Would the gap, moisture and humidity not eventually cause mold and in time rot?
Cooler utikity space. Winter heat? In time, additional finishing work to brighten the space.
Ruben seems to have been a great addition to the Project! It's always fun to watch a skilled carpenter work
Glove fund.
🧤
for the glove repair I highly recommend a thimble!
There needs to be a dorple under the door to close of the crawl space under the flooring, otherwise you are going to get mice.
Hey Project Kamp! When the big community space ruin is done, will the offices be in there and then the ruin right now would be a guest house?
probably
hi all, suggestion...when people are talking to the camera, plz add their names so all kknow who is who...thx ☝
For gloves you can try this type of sewing "An overlock is a kind of stitch that sews over the edge of one or two pieces of cloth for edging, hemming, or seaming." From my knowledge this is most strong connection between two materials.
Rubin, you are the man! Wish you were staying longer to admire more of your skills and workmanship. I'm sure that Project Kamp would benefit greatly from your contributions.
I love love love how the door to the room looked because of the constraints of using reused materials!!!
Me too!
Yes the door is awesome
What a great new room. Lovely to see you all helping the neighbours.
Another great building video! The work being done by Ruben is obviously of high quality, great to see new faces :)
Love this room utilization and the great work of this Dutch contractor. Win win!
15:46 "Ho'okipa Beach Maui"! (His shirt)!
My most favorite beach in maui! love to visit both of my brothers there!
I'm glad to see that stuff like electric is getting done properly, no shoddy connections, no wire nuts, less points to catch fire. Y'all are really good that this
Weird thought. Possible glove reinforcement for bramble work: Make a set of little jigs to turn some hard plastic or aluminum can material into 'armor' plates (need ones of various sizes for fingers, palm, and thumb) to be glued to the inside-the-gripping-hand outer surface of some of the leather gloves to turn them into 'bramble only' protective gloves. The seams between 'armor plates' will still be vulnerable, but it might greatly extend the life of those special gloves and prevent a lot of thorns poking into hands.
Great job on the small room. Enjoyed seeing the process for mending the gloves. Thanks Project Kamp
Lovely. just 1 small question...why not insulate under floor boards?
Depends on what you want. If you want to keep it cooler in the the summer it's better to not insulate the floor so the heat can dissipate more easy in the cooler ground beneath it.
Depends also on the use of the room.
It is good to see that you repair instead of throwing them away. I still repair as taught by our having no money to buy new when younger. Now it is too easy to go and buy new
Alan..... two thoughts come to mind as an extension into detail and the use of long held understanding that may be of assistance. 1) Have you heard of a “rip” needle? It’s a triangular shaped needle that was originally designed for just this purpose. Its minimally cuts through the leather material and allows for thread material to be guided through while also allowing the leather to then close back up adding to the hold and staying relatively consistent with the shape of material around it. (2) Have you explored the many types of stitch in order to maximize the contact, spread the tension, maintain the hold (of coarse) and remain stronger? Stitch techniques through out history as well as in industrial applications were well explored in order to meet the desired outcomes where different materials were used as well as different purposes of the products required different approaches.
In this case it makes sense that you have found the approaches mentioned. I’d offer or add that stitches with multiple points of crossover or contact would perhaps meet application and maintain material integrity. One such approach looks like a geometric shape ( a square) with a running stitch crossing the square in multiple directions. The second is rather random in that it is a series of running stitches, either by machine or by hand, that create points of contact between the materials and add strength with the stitches themselves. Hope this adds to your exploration and in finding what might help most.
Surgical tubing makes an excellent clamp for irregular shapes like the stick inside the glove.
Kudos for repairing the gloves. That's living up to your values. I don't know if I would have that kind of patience though.😊
Hey!! Greetings from the Netherlands!
Great to see you working with the neighbours.
❤ the update. So fun to watch a real craftsman work. The glove repair was brilliant. Good job Project Kamp!
Great video again. Great to help the neighbour. Pleased that the small room has been done. Time to buy some new work gloves. Also for grinding work, always use Grade 1 goggles or face shields, not grade 2 nor General Purpose goggles/shields. And also a "Mind your head" sign above the door it the small room. Best Wishes Pete
Get some new gloves, then take patches of the old gloves and make a double thickness on the fingers and palms. This way you are pre strengthening your gloves when pulling brambles. You can use the glue to put those extra pieces on.
Should've put the hinges on the inside of the room, not the outside. Now you can remove the ninges from the outside, bypassing the lock.
Strange joinery?
Love the community vibe of helping your neighbours. 👍
Lovely. Full of repairs. Making the old good as new.
That new guy worked fast!
20:00 gloves are good for handling the brambles, but carpet strips are better.
Glueing patches to verious surfaces (bike frame, tents, jackets, ...) I've learned to avoid sharp corners, because those are the first to get loose easily. Rounding off the corners slightly helped me to avoid this.
I love seeing the repair/re-use of the gloves!
a tip for improving gloves is to patch the frequently torn parts with thicker leather or another material that can resist cuts and punctures while keeping the rest of the glove pliable
I love those little glimpses in everyday stuff or maintenance like fixing the gloves!
The small rubble from cleaning up the floor can be placed into any holes you may have in the roadway. Or set it in a pile out of your way, so that you are not stepping on it, to be used later if your road way needs some help.
@19:57 the doorway needs to be covered at the floor, to prevent water and rats entering under the oak floorboards.
It’s so nice to see just how versatile the men and women are, thank you for sharing!
I appreciate all of you and what you accomplish❤️🎶🤗🎶🇨🇦
I love seeing the different woodworking and building techniques from all of the project Kamp members, its so awesome to have different ideas and influences around that work together to make a finished project
Love that you help the neighbors-major reason I watch this channel
What a clever and resourceful bunch you are. Love it 😊
Excellent work on the ruin ... and great idea to put in the bit about the glove repair! Kudos to Alan and Reuben!
Really enjoying the varied bits before and after the main meat of the videos. The series keeps getting better and better to watch! One of the highlights of my week.
I have really enjoyed watching project camp. It’s amazing what you can do and what you have done. Keep up the good work
Congratulations to you all at project camp you young people have turned the land with a little bit of hard work &of course volunteers well done to each and everyone of you.☘️🇮🇪
I love all of these. Its reassuring seeing people living in a balanced and mindfull manner, reusing and repairing as you go. Love it!!!!
I absolutely love reusing the basketball court flooring!
Good job! Always happy with the progress you guys make! greetings from Indonesia
If brambles are a long term problem, try butcher mail gloves. If they can fend off VERY sharp knives they should work against thorns.
Teamwork makes the dreamwork. You guys are truly the ultimate perfect example of it. Just love it guys. Started watching this few days ago and i just cant seem to stop. I would love to be a part of it.
so many good ideas, i am so happy to have this channel, love you guys !
Hi project Kamp, if I might make 2 suggestions for your sewing? 1) a curved needle with hemostat scissors for pulling the needle through may be helpful. 2) running the thread -linen or polyester- through a small block of beeswax will ease it through the leather, give it strength and durability. Good luck.
Going to fix my busted gloves tomorrow! Thanks for that, great recycle🙂
You guys did an amazing job on this project!!
I love watching your weekly video..lots of updates every week.. and the improvement of the land. I wish one day I could buy a big land❤❤❤
I’ve found when repairing holes in something that’s going to get a lot of hard use, it can help to actually leave as much of the damaged part as you can, typically only cutting away loose threads and such, then sew the patch around the damaged part, just as you would’ve done if it had been cut away.
This is to give you a bit more time before it needs repairing again, as the part left under the patch is worn through completely before the new material gets damaged (at least, by the same cause), rather than ‘skipping ahead’, plus it means there’s that much less strain on the seam where the patch is attached, because the original structure can hold the tension for a little longer.
Nothing at all wrong with the method used in this video, of course, there’s more than one way to skin a glove! 😂
Also, thank you guys so much for continuing to normalise & give examples for ways to repair and reuse things. Most people would just buy new gloves and use the old ones for a doorstop (at best), some may repair them, but likely buy new leather to do so, and so very few would think to keep the completely unusable ones!
Oh, forgot another thing lol, but beeswax (or any old candlewax, really) is super useful for this, too! It conditions the thread, makes it stronger and less likely to fray, sometimes just pulling the thread through thick/coarse fabrics starts to damage it already, and as a bonus it also makes it tangle less as you sew 😁
Always hyped for a new video!
Tell Ruben to be careful with the saw, he almost cut his fingers twice!!
Nice. I suggest quilting thread because it's stronger and a leather needle. Nice to see this.
First off, that place is no longer a ruin, next may I suggest that it would make a perfect space for wine tasting. Great job.
Keep up the good work guys! Greetings from Greece!
amazing work! ya'll really an inspiration all the way in Singapore here ~
great channel and really innovative project, this is groundbreaking and very excited to see more progression
Do you have any plans to put some render on those brick walls? That type of brick is not really meant to be used as a weather barrier. Maybe you could limewash it the traditional Portuguese way?
Rendering it white would also help deflect some sunlight in Summer.
In terms of sewing leather, get yourself a good leather needle and learn how to saddle stitch. That case you still end up with a stitch that won't go loose if 1 piece breaks.
Open up the side of the finger you want to stitch using a seam ripper, use the glue method and saddle stitch the hole and then the finger seam back in place. Once you get the hang of it, it'll improve the time you spend vs making knots. ;)
A moment of appreciation for the rhythm of the hammer matching the rhythm of the music
Quality video as always!! Really enjoyed the glove video!
Good morning you guys hope you guys have a wonderful day and keep up the good work and have a good day out there guys and just be careful have fun❤
I didn't catch the young boys name but if he enjoys UA-cam it would be a nice thing to show him behind the scenes of how you make your videos. Just another way of helping the locals. You never know, in a few years time he could be a videographer of Project Kamp! Inspiring young people is key!
I've always thought getting a young person involved in a project inspires that person and they feel more confident with themselves!
I thought to hear it's Diogo. Could be, that's a common Portuguese name.
Rueben does beautiful work!!! :)
I’m definitely going to use those leather glove mending techniques!
Those brambles are no joke :-0
The new room looks great! Nothing beats granite insulation
love to watch you guys! Thanks for all your efforts :)
Thank you for the update.
been watching u since season 1 and still love it
I really enjoy what you are doing here
Keep fixing, love it.
I patch my own boos, have sewn up my own braces.
Polyurethane sealant works good on boots
Loved the patchwork at the end.
Looks like a nice little room
16:20 WAGO connectors! I love using them, so convenient.
Just watched them all from the beginning! The pig trailer got me interested then I went back. Looking forward to next week 🙂
Love to watching you guys !❤
