Build a Timber Frame Style Wood Backyard Pavilion Part 2 of 3

[@appleforever6664]

This channel is badass! I love it! Gives me ideas for my backyard and tools that I will need.

[@can2jmoney]

Man I loving your content , I like how you continue to explain your process every time.I can appreciate that,It refreshes your mind on how you got it done !!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I appreciate that!

[@somedude-lc5dy]

smart to put the blocking in before the rafter so it can help guide you. I've seen people try to do that after the fact, which is much harder

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

It helped as most of my rafters were twisted.

[@marcos22571]

I take it you do this for fun because if you did it for a living you would know that you have to work fast to get things done. Production is the name of the game when it comes to construction.

Thank you! Nice job! Hello from Russia

[@Steve-ps6qw]

Ha, that was last summer and we were up in North Dakota visiting our son and the sky was hazy due to forest fires in Canada.....then when we made it to Northern Idaho there was more smoke from the fires in the U.S......fires everywhere....

I can't complete viewing your videos; your voice is so peaceful and soothing, it puts me to sleep. :-)

[@1mentalconsumer]

With a name like “MAN about TOOLS”, one would think you might have a router! That grinder and planer used on the edges activated my OCD!!!! Other than that, great work!

[@markthompsoncpa]

Could you try one rafter for fit and cut all of them from that one

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

That is possible if your beams are exactly parallel to each other in both the top and front view aspects. And the beams do not have a bow in them. That's a hard thing to achieve with rough cut, air dried timbers. And, in my case, the rafters were twisted in varying degrees. Thanks for the questions! Cheers, Kent

[@huracan200173]

@@MANaboutTOOLS I had the same question, it seemed inefficient to measure it each time, but I imagined that it had to be a reason for you to not do it that way, having in mind you don't look like an amateur. Thanks for answering!

Awesome video

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thx

You're great you can even summon your clone

[@daviddwyer9754]

Very clear and concise instructions. One of the best instructional videos I have seen in a long time. Thank you

great camera work, good explanations and beautiful work! I can't believe these don't have more views! subscribed!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the feedback and I hope the channel continues to grow.

[@santosmartinez503]

Omg!!! Thank you!!! U just helped me getting and idea on how 2 do my brace 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@larrymeier8164]

Looks nice.

[@thefilthelement]

I'm surprised you didn't use a flush trim router with the templatefor the shape of the braces of a round over bit

[@rdpurdom]

Fabulous craft,andhip! I always enjoy watching true masters do their thing!

[@chrisunderhill3739]

If I put together a cut list - would you check it and see if there are any glaring errors. Maybe it would be a useful addition for your viewers? Thanks Chris

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Sure Chris. Send it here: manabouttools.com/so-contact-us/

[@kevinkleinmann]

Kent - love your design. Question about how you did the blocking. Since you are adding blocking as you go, I see you screw into the blocking with each new rafter, but after you set a new rafter, how did you attach a new block to the already installed previous rafter?

[@bobt471]

Awesome skills with the wood And the Camera on editing! Very enjoyable! Keep them coming!

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks!!

[@tangotango168]

great Job (awesome )

[@jonathandonner0723]

awesome!

[@777stutz]

At various points in this video you have one of your clones helping you. Where can I get one of these clones to help me on my project? Thanks for the great instruction.

[@scottgrafer2222]

I am enjoying your videos and your skills as a carpenter are excellent. Being able to clone yourself must be a huge advantage when building these structures.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Scott Grafer thanks! But, my clone drinks all my beer.

[@CRAZYCR1T1C]

Amazing how it fits together with mm precision. Well done

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! Sometimes I get lucky.

[@bwms5462]

Your plans say to cut 8 large braces and 4 smaller ones, 12 total. Can you tell me where the small vs. large braces are installed? I count more than 12 braces on yuour diagrams. Thanks!

[@graydation]

When it comes to cutting the birds mouths on the rafters... couldn't you use the first one as a template to cut them all? That way you would not have to lift, mark, carry down, cut and then lift back up to install?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

With this build I had some bowing in the beams and front posts. The top beams were not parallel (front or top down) so I had to cut each birds mouth individually if I wanted a good fit. Thanks for the comment, Kent

[@graydation]

@@MANaboutTOOLS ah cool... I think for my pergola design I will be able to cut them all at once. Thanks for the info. Your pavillion looks amazing. I'm gonna get a hell of a workout working with these huge beams. And I'm doing 80-90% of my build by myself. Its not gonna be as tall as what you built... Mine will only be 8-10 ft on the tall side... But my pergola is going to be about 35 ft long and about 8-10 ft wide.

[@user-nn5uw1kz5g]

Good! 👍🏼

man, How tall is Kelvin?

[@rickyewell3634]

Wow! Nice to see craftsmanship in action! Who needs help; I've got this!

[@KevinJones-wn3lh]

When yo made the concrete pillars why didn't you put the posts into the concrete, wouldn't that be stronger?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

It would be stronger in the short term. But over time the wood would rot.

[@chrisunderhill3739]

Kent - do you use the same size lag bolt throughout construction ... 5/16" x 6" for corner braces, girts, posts and beams? Thanks Chris

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Pretty much. I think a larger size for the connection of the beams to the posts. Can't recall the size. If I didn't show them for that project then I think I may have in part 2 of the woodshed build.

[@nb2211]

Super sweet construction and nice design.

What is that long jigsaw blade...Seems to be working very well...

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

It's this one: amzn.to/2Eq0HxV And it worked very well! Really happy with the cut.

[@nickg8424]

maybe a template for the birdsmouth or a pattern?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Ideally all the birds mouth cuts would be done at once. However, due to variations in the beams this was not possible for me if I wanted tight fitting rafters.

[@user-pe9ue2hd3y]

Can type 2 diabetes end?

[@GameBuddies1]

When you're cutting the bird's mouths on the rafters how do you ensure that the birds mouths are at the same spot on each rafter? After re-watching some sections a few times and your other similar project videos I can't quite see how you ensure the rafters are aligned the same way for each rafter. Also, during planning stages how do you go about making sure your rafters are equally spaced while also accounting for their width? Is there a formula you use?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Hi, I put a pencil line on the underside of each rafter at a consistent distance, say 18", from the high peak end. I then set this line on the edge of the upper beam. Then I mark the two birdsmouths. Take them down and cut them. On the Garden Pavilion I made a small handsaw cut in the rafter at this mark. That prevented the heavy fir rafters from slipping while I moved around on the scaffolding to mark them. The spacing is straightforward math. And in my case it was okay of I was off a bit on the spacing.

[@GameBuddies1]

@@MANaboutTOOLS That makes perfect sense! Thank you for the explanation :) I feel silly for asking about the spacing cuz after a little thinking it is pretty straighforward. Must've just been tired when I asked 😂

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

@@GameBuddies1 No worries! Cheers!

[@bacondreamer]

Did you reuse the brace video section from your woodshed video?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

bacondreamer I did. The braces were the same.

What blade is that in the Bosch jigsaw

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I wrote a review of the saw and blades here: manabouttools.com/bosch-jigsaw-review-cutting-big-beams/

[@noconz0727]

What kind of blade is that on the jigsaw?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Noconz0727 MC it’s a long one. Link to it on my site. See descriptions

[@noconz0727]

Found it thx

[@Steve-ps6qw]

Yea, I know my little Ryobi jigsaw would not do that job at all. It struggles with much smaller cuts, lol. That was a Makita, right? That is a quality tool and I believe they also make Ryobi (or is it Milwaukee?)

[@tillmansr2002]

Great video. Who did the plans for you?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks! I made the plans.

[@nathanyoon7211]

What how thick was the marking stick you used to mark the birdsmouth on the rafters? I noticed you used the thickness as a guide for your cut.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

I can't recall exactly. I try to make the horizontal line about the same length as the width of the beam.

[@Steve-ps6qw]

Did you stain the wood prior to installing them or is that the haze from the smoke?

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Steve Stained first. The smoke was heavy huh?

[@Steve-ps6qw]

Or my bad eyesight....

Man About Tools! Love the content you're creating. This videos are entertaining and informative. Do you have an estimate for the cost of materials for this build?

[@gregbrown1083]

Kent, good job (again). It is good to see that you built scaffolding for putting up the rafters. How much snow do you get there? I have to brace my out-buildings when the snow gets deep. I'm in SW Washington state. Good luck.

[@MANaboutTOOLS]

Thanks Greg! The home-built scaffolding works very well. We got almost two feet in three days.

[@gregbrown1083]

@@MANaboutTOOLS Kent, that sounds like a pretty good test of your construction. My wife says I over-build everything. Be sure to take some video of the buildings with heavy snow, I for one would love to see it. I am trying not to binge on all your videos now that I've found your channel. Good luck.

Great video. I have just one question. What sort of extra long blade are you using at your Bosch jigsaw?
