Do you think solar kilns could be fire hazards? How do you keep peace of mind knowing you are heating wood to 150 degrees on your property? Thanks for your videos!
@BrianBozak3 күн бұрын
You know I had never thought about it. The thing is it doesn't stay at that temp. for very long, and I think it is far from the combustion temp of the wood. I will have to look up the critical temp. that wood has to reach before combustion. Thanks for watching.
@jeffreyjbyron3 күн бұрын
@@BrianBozak Thanks. I want to build one, but being in northern california I'm always considering fire safety. The other question I have is about direction to position the solar kiln. On my property, we don't get hot sun until the afternoon, when the sun is already past the zenith. Would it make sense to position the kiln to get more of that afternoon sun? Or to try to keep it parallel to the sun and point it south, hoping to get some of the morning sun but sacrifice a bit of the afternoon? I think I need to build a mini solar kiln first and test it!

I don't think I am the person to ask. The more sun the better, because it will cool of as soon as the sun is gone. Good luck let me know how it goes.

Hi Brian, Have you heard of trusses? I have a design for hardwood trusses. It might be lighter, easier to handle, and just as strong as the logs you're putting up on the roof. I can send you an email if you're interested, feel free to reply about timber trusses of trusses built with framing lumber

@clarkpiper600726 күн бұрын
@@BrianBozak Hi Brian, thank you for considering the design. I'm glad you enjoy the logs on the roof. I'd recommend trusses if you're interested in spanning longer lengths than logs are able to cross. There are complex design features to the trusses I create, but it's proprietary knowledge involving wood jointery and screw installation. Log framing has a nice look, but trusses have structural advantages and can be covered with nice lumber.
@BrianBozak21 күн бұрын
You assume I have no idea how to design a truss. Proprietary knowledge?
@clarkpiper600719 күн бұрын
@@BrianBozak Proprietary knowledge means it's one of my trade secrets as a contractor and building inspector as well as woodworker. I've seen you make a timber truss, so I don't assume you have no idea. But the trusses I design with hardwood are different (and far far better) than anything that I have seen a person create. Timber trusses are similar, but lack screws, web stiffeners, bracing, and select grade structural lumber usually. Hopefully this information is somewhat inspiring and not just frustrating to hear a person mention re designed improvements to hardwood trusses with screws.

when making flooring the final cut on the shaper must always and I do mean always cut up against an outside fence. this means the fence is away from the cutter. Two , three, four inches or what ever you set it for. Using an outside fence guarantees the board widths will be perfectly consistent. Cutting against the fence next to the cutter and relying on how well the board was ripped will certainly introduce gaps and uncertainties in the width of the boards. I use an outside fence mounted to an Incra LS positioner that is adjustable in thousands of an inch. Just my two cents but bravo for making your own flooring.

My father bought a used mixer about 67 years ago. Last year my son, my friend & I poured about 2 1/2 yards with it for a patio and steps. Here is a tip: pick up the gravel with you tractor and set it to the same level as the mixer. Then you only need to shovel laterally, saving a lot of bending and lifting! I'll be watching the mill building rise up.
