The flicker of the desk´s display is an artifact of the camera framerate. Might be worth mentioning so potential customers are not put off by the flicker.
Hey man, that was such a drag when the apparatus shifted at the end of the video. But I am just gonna say, I am very glad you didn't get injured. The way it moved... man, the variety of potential injuries is staggering. Glad you are ok
If you boil your bolts in oil, they'll have a protective layer that won't rust for a very long time, in oak. That's how they used to do it back in the day when they made wooden roofs with green oak beams and metal bolts/pins. Get a cake tray, a camp fire going, let it snuff out and then put the tray with used motor oil on top (no active fire, just embers). When the oil starts getting up to temp (bubbles), you dip the bolts in and let them sit for 10 minutes or so. When they're out, just let them cool and wipe them with a dirty rag. Keep two buckets of sand nearby - one to let the bolts cool in, one in case the oil does catch fire.
What makes a good carpenter is always about attention to detail and you have the skill and mindset to become an extremely good carpenter. Well done Carl.
I think it's worth it. I absolutely love your cinematography, focus, camera angles, lighting, audio, etc. Your videos are perfection and I'm usually very picky. And your project is awesome.
Are you having fun? Because that's the most important thing. Also, hope the old aches aren't hitting you too hard. Always a bummer seeing someone as dedicated as you have that kind of problem. Wish there was something that could wipe it away. Here's to good days and finishing the project with a smile on your face!
Thanks for shouting out EngelsCoachShop last episode. He's brilliant. It's been a lot of fun watching a few of his many hundreds of videos each night. Great guy and channel.
The technique using the saw to bring the joint together tightly will come in handy for my current project, thanks for the great tip and the videos! Subscribed!
Carl, if you have not already, please check out Paul Sellar's video on the "blunt chisel", where you tune an old chisel to become an excellent paring tool for end grain. Once you know, it will make your work easy, and save a lot of time. Also will leave a smooth finish ready surface. Always appreciate what you are doing!🙏
Thank you for the video. I built curved roof beams out of pine. Six beams held up a green house. Jigs are the thing to maintain consistancy. Your's are a thing of beauty.
I didn't know about the kerf cut method which is so obvious to me now. You never stop learning. Another great watch and loving this build, thank you. PS I know exactly what you mean about falling out with the beams. I built a library recently which was great fun at first but after 6 months I couldn't wait to finish it.
Coming along beautifully. An excellent demonstration of the use of the two blade saw versus the tenon. Working to fine tolerances is great but in my home I often question 50 years on why so much good stuff is invisible to visitors. I suppose I did it just because I could not bear to do a second rate job. More power to your elbow Carl, thank you for posting, much appreciated.
If a bit of product promotion keeps the channel as engaging as it does, then I’m in ! Watched first thing on a mon morning which has set me up and inspired me for the week!! Great stuff Carl 👌
I am a timber framer who has to cut lots of very precise joints on timbers that are not square or straight. We do a lot of work with old barns and loggy timber. I would suggest looking in to the log rule method of timber layout
You are certainly getting the right headspace with these vids. I, quite literally, involuntarily tried to blow the sawdust off the kerf cut you were making to get a better look at that sweet joint! Loving it.
Hello, I am a stone craftsman. I really enjoy these projects. The constructions are very beautiful with stone and wood. Congratulations on your skills with wood. Good luck with your project. I subscribe to your channel. Greetings from Barcelona.
You remind me of this old German man I used to do finish carpentry with. What I thought was good enough, he would say not good enough. He would say it has to be perfect. Please don't leave us hanging so long, oh and watch that language. Always watching from Panama City Florida, USA 🇺🇸🦅 !
The rest of the world does need to conform to your christian language values, mate. If you are easily offended, find some way to manage that where you don't need to boss others around trying to make them conform to your cult values.
Whilst I fully appreciate the skill and effort put into this, my brain still reminds me that it is a shepherds hut that by its nature would have been of fairly rustic nature. The other point I am always reminded of is that oak twists and moves relentlessly and what will be fitted up to cabinet perfection will be re=shaped especially if it is built over a protracted time frame with much assembly/disassembly.
You can use neem oil, commonly used as an insecticide, to coat the sap wood area which had wood boring bugs in it. It is almost impossible to get them out once they start. Neem oil will kill them as they start to chew and break their life cycle. A good soak with Boric acid and water solution works as well but kinda leaves a powdery residue.
I'd mix both those oils together, they're close enough in finish colour so mixed together and averaged the end result will be about what you want, do a test pot and see if I'm right. Also delighted you wanted to use that lump of timber with the O.B. bug damage, too often everyone expects to see joinery quality but I really like to see a bit of history and the struggle of life in a bit of timber. Cheers mate.
It's rare, but I love having a bit of knowledge to share if there is anything I can contribute! I hope i dont come off as facetious... So whenever a birdsmouth is being fastened down, it's a good practice to slightly angle your screw towards the exterior. This pulls your birdsmouth and hold it tight to the inside face of your beam. That's it! That's all I got. I hope that helps, if not for this project, then for future projects as well!
Research the problem of iron sickness in wood. There is a posibility that the wood will fail too if iron bolts are in wet or green oak. The dark spots on the face of the wood (below the bolt heads or washers) at 19:13 you plane over, indicate the first signs of this reaction.
A helpful hint on paint brush longevity- before use, soak the bristles all the way up into the ferrule with motor oil, then clean thoroughly with mineral spirits afterwards, this keeps paint from encroaching into it, and since oil will not stick to the bristles, after cleaning, store the brush in motor oil and your brush will last longer than you will. ( I am a 65 Year Old Artisan ) This makes buying excellent brushes worth while.
Well done for keeping the run of sponsors going. I’m glad they help you make these great videos. I winced when i thought you binned the big tin of expensoil!
I also am surprised by how useful and important my electric plane has made itself. Because it is such a dangerous tool, I chose to try battery to eliminate risk of catching the power cord. Would definitely recommend it if you have the budget available to upgrade. I picked up Dewalt's battery powered electric planer and get 20-30 minutes runtime off of one 5 AH battery. Great for planing out rough lumber with winding sticks.
next time dont grind the rus off those bolts boil them in water and convert all that red oxide to BLACK oxied. This is how old timers blued firearms and with some oil on them this is great rust protection.
when said "..disaster struck.." I was convinced you spilled that entire can of 'stain' LOL ... Thankfully it wasn't REALLY a disaster... but that can spilling sure would have been... and not just for the money... but to have to clean it up!! that would have been pretty bad!!! Glad it wasn't that big of a deal :) - you are doing some AMAZING WORK here!
Thanks Carl, great work … I’ve done some post and beam construction as well as bending oak and you’ve shown me a number of methods to improve my techniques . Thanks. Have you ever thought of doing guest teacher at woodworking schools? You’d be great. There are a few in Canada where I am and probably lots more in the USA. 😊
Great to see another instalment Carl, thanks for posting. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Worrying as ever seeing loose clothing flapping about near power-tools, would hate to see an accident.
Yeah, it's tough working on your own, even when you're not trying to record as you work. You have to check and double check everything. Many many times I've had to start over or figure out how to get out of a tough spot that a second set of eyes or hands would have prevented. But you have to work with what you've got.
don't be so critical of yourself Carl! you are doing an outstanding job, above and beyond what any mortal would be willing to do. You are building a Museum quality wagon thingie.
I'm glad I'm not the only one to misread a label and pick up the wrong item. Thank you for including the clip where the big beams fell. It shows you're really not perfect after all! I'm glad it worked out anyway. It's good to have an extra hand when you need it. By the way, how is your health doing? You look like your managing, but I figure you probably hide a lot of your difficulties.
ship builders don't want oak and iron touching (green or not) and call the long term effects Iron Sickness. Green just brings it out faster. Not near as big an issue on a land based object, it will happen over time.
I have become addicted to a couple different utube channels of guys re-discovering wooden ship builders techniques. It is beyond incredible what those ship builders of old developed for those sail powered ships. I have even started to incorporate some of the techniques I learned into my projects to give better strength
I used the same word before you did, when the " disaster struck." I thought for the first few moments of this video was going to be silent, much like a lot of Dave Engels' are , and I was dismayed because I like the sound of your voice. Thankfully, I was wrong.
To make the birdsmouths, you could use the track saw first to create a plane, offset a couple cm from the plane that sits on top the walls (at least more than the corner of the part that rest on the side of the wall) . Then use that plane as a flat reference for you track saw, and then you can cut both vertical planes that rest against the side of the wall en the outer part. Then you use the track saw again to cut the plane that sits on top of the wall, finish that of with a handsaw and chissel and you're there.
Being out of square on the flat sides doesn't matter. As long as the inside and outside curved surfaces are parallel, it will be fine. Only the sides that are touching other things need to be somewhat square everywhere else is just to make you feel better.
There is a "secret" technique when using those japanese pull saws, the very tip of the saw is toothless so you can get the back edge of a cut right down to the line you want to cut to then ride that toothless part and effectively cut only with the first couple of teeth but guarantee the entire cut is to the same depth all the way across from the back to the front!

@@johndrew4957 No good having tools if you don't know how to use them!
Laying out of the bird mouth with natural bird sounds in the background was wonderful. Great video and project.
Yes, I noticed that too!🎉
Not sure I ever thought curved beams would hold my attention but indeed it has. I look forward to these episodes and seeing the hut come together.
Hi Carl, it is so horrible when I saw the beams falling. You do it so beautifull. Thanks for sharing your really beautiful work on UA-cam.

Thank you for the video. I built curved roof beams out of pine.
Six beams held up a green house. Jigs are the thing to maintain consistancy.
Your's are a thing of beauty.
These curved beams came out so good! With Aloha...
Just another reason to love Dads!

Saw the release yesterday and saved it for today's 5am cup of tea on the screened porch with rain outside. 😊
Coming along really well and like the way you approach the inevitable misalignments & natural variances in timber.
Great work, Carl. Glad the disaster wasn't too catastrophic.
That one would have been worth 2 garage beers for me
Very cool great craftsmanship 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Apart from unfortunate hiccups, I hope you enjoy making these videos: I (we) certainly get a lot of pleasure watching. Thank you for sharing.
I am a timber framer who has to cut lots of very precise joints on timbers that are not square or straight. We do a lot of work with old barns and loggy timber. I would suggest looking in to the log rule method of timber layout
Given the beams are somewhat square the ‘square rule’ method might be more applicable
@@z4zuseI use both, but for warped timber it is less of a headache
I have a standing desk for computer work and one in my workshop where I use the height adjustment very frequently while working on something.
joined looked perfect on first assembly, then Carl mentions not good enough and pulls a very clever trick to make the joints unbelievably perfect.
You are certainly getting the right headspace with these vids.
I, quite literally, involuntarily tried to blow the sawdust off the kerf cut you were making to get a better look at that sweet joint!

Use linseed oil for all raw iron and oak combinations. It will prevent rust better and longer than grease!
And it prevents oak from coloring blue.
Amazing attention to detail.
Nice video again! 1 tip for the japanese pullsaw, saw along the line first a few mm deep. Then when u cut it after, the saw has a groove to guide it.
Well done for keeping the run of sponsors going. I’m glad they help you make these great videos. I winced when i thought you binned the big tin of expensoil!
At least you weren't hurt when the frame dropped. Super job on the birds mouths, you have a great work ethic.
amazing work... so exact. can't wait to see it finished.
Hello Carl,what a craftsman you are,greetings from Holland.

Being out of square on the flat sides doesn't matter. As long as the inside and outside curved surfaces are parallel, it will be fine. Only the sides that are touching other things need to be somewhat square everywhere else is just to make you feel better.
Try evapo rust on the bolts, and get all the rust of pretty quick and easily. Safe to use without gloves as well
So I really enjoy watching all the content. Always great techniques and problem solving skills. But, what is your end game with this build?
When disaster struck.... 'Shhhhhhit!' 😂
