Your craftsmanship is truly an amazing art form, that is absolutely incredible. I can’t wait to watch the rest of this build. Great job and thank you for sharing! 👍

[@petten33]

The stringer jig is a great setup. That application can be used in aeroplanes' wing fusilage encircling the webs and spar caps.

[@mistch351]

This man has excellent woodworking ing skills. Very good video. An arch structure is inherrently strong and structurally effcient.

Awesome 👏🏻. Love your design , and use of common pine.

[@josephdupont]

Amazing I can see a lot of applications to that.. I can see a light weight sleeping platform in a pick up truck. etc

[@patriciamay638]

Beautiful work. Thanks for the post from an admiring hobby woodworker. And gardiner.

[@willemvanschaik6858]

Love your design, very stylish, very strong. However one weak spot: the foundation. Not the concrete part, enough strength to carry the weight. But I see only 12 screws total attaching the whole greenhouse to the concrete. A little uplift by wind could take that quickly apart. At least double the number of screws, anchor bolts would be better and it would also be a good idea to attach those brackets to the wood with bolts and nuts instead of screws. Would be a pity to see in a storm that whole beautiful structure being sucked into the air ... just because of 12 screws.

Really impressive design! Seems very simple and cheap, but still works and looks great :)

[@evilroyslade2491]

Brilliant design and craftmanship.

I know I'm about three years too late to the party but I gotta say . . . I LOVE this design!! Not a word said and you spoke volumes!! Well . . . . except at 3:10 when I swore I heard you mutter something under your breath. :) Well done!!

Great project and I wanted to compliment on the video production. Excellent.

[@chucktrent4771]

I'll bet there's lots of people using a Bluetooth or earbuds to watch videos. Can you imagine how loud and sharp the noise was when you threw those bundles on the floor. I really appreciate you thinking about the rest of us.

[@Nozzall]

I really like these designs. Simple and effective with plenty of height. I think what I would have done differently is build a ridge piece into it so that the each side buts up against it.

[@graphguy]

love the design!

[@BrianFreemansPix]

Great design! However, I'm curious as to how you calculated the correct curvature when making your jig for the ribs.

[@SaintTrinianz]

Bravo! It’s beautiful!

[@ma894]

Great video, this is a very nice design. Is the lower boards pressure treated to protect from wood rot?

[@previously4821]

Beautiful work!

[@fredericfuchs5628]

Congratulation, this is a great build and great video

[@johnbullitt1371]

Hey Benni, great project. I am very interested to read more about your experiences after two years. Are you still happy with your construction?

[@MeBeingAble]

I hope you treated the heck out of that flake board. Any moisture like that in a gh will destroy it in short order. Let us know how it holds up. Sometimes good old plywood is worth the extra $. Having said that it looks great👍😎👌

Hi benni, nice project man! Nice design with the double layer arches! Cool to see!

[@maisproposito5383]

wow! The best video, thank you!

[@alexandrs281]

Hello, a brilliant project. What did the project start with, what was the basis? I want to make a greenhouse 4 meters wide.

[@ilja-sm-n]

Лучшая технология, что я нашел на Ютуб. Спасибо автору. Под Москвой будет хорошая теплица этой весной.

[@reidogarimpo1691]

[@user-lu7hv1jl4f]

Hello. Thank you very much for video list of greenhouse (3*5*2,8). Please tell me what board size (width, thickness and length)? Bar length? How many boards did it take in meters? What glue was it glued to? Thank you in advance for your reply. Respectfully!!!

[@teixneves3958]

You got good toys!!!

[@thecasualcitizen492]

I like it but a bit labor intensive for what I want. Will keep the truss idea in mind for later projects. Thanks, great project.

[@jasoncurtis5989]

if you leave a space at the top you can do a ridgepole i would do 8' sections make them modulrar easy to put up and take down of course you would have 2 touching every 8' but that would make it much stronger and 1 person could easily put up by themselves i have made them this way and there very handy

[@louisfeyt4188]

AWESOME JOB GREAT IDEA

[@gunghoadventures871]

Awesome 👍

[@ReasonablySkeptic]

Beautiful.

[@grow-with-R-and-S]

great build. what offsets did you use for the block from the edge of your table and the distance between your end blocks. thanks

[@pugsymalone6539]

Probably trial and error: the correct answer comes up quickly.

[@llewelyn9084]

Just a question. Why didn't you put your bracing in the concrete footings while poring it but instead drilling then in after? You mustn't have wind at all. But build came together well.

[@12vLife]

This is great! Any way to achieve R-30 insulation value on the ceiling and R-13 on walls with a structure like this? Could something like this ever pass Florida primary dwelling building code for Structural, Energy, Wind?

[@teixneves3958]

Great job!!!!

[@Seafariireland]

Excellent lesson!

[@TheShura2]

Можно проще сделать - вместо клея использовать болты M6. Верхнюю косынку можно не делать - сразу крепить к коньковому брусу (50х50, закрепить под 45град). Если использовать поликарбонат, то горизонтали не нужны. бетонные столбы тоже не нужны.

[@sudharma_hydroponics]

Very good use of a pvc concrete post in soil

[@kazuza9]

Excellent job

[@sandrissandris7174]

Joe do You avoid wood memory to get back straight posituon?

[@thomasturner3834]

Great job, you do such good work. Could I use 4" pine and not worry about it braking? I want to bend a 12' board. It is for the top of a 10'x20' shed

[@johnhitchcock5404]

Anywhere there is a knot is always a chance it will break. The bigger the knot the higher the probability

[@intinguem5466]

what kind of wood did you use?

[@mikegagliano5343]

Beautiful

[@heatherfrey1508]

Do you have a picture of the ridge pole? I’m not sure how you attached it...

[@greenmountainsuriving]

how long are the 1x3 boards for your design ?

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

I'm very impressed! And it looks very attractive. I think I would prefer it in cedar though for durability.

[@pugsymalone6539]

I'm not sure if cedar is flexible enough to accomplish this...?

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

@@pugsymalone6539 I am not sure of the flexibility of cedar. BUT that being said, if your cedar boards weren't too thick, and if they were as knot free as possible and if you steamed them before you them in the jig hot, then I believe they would work out fine.

[@pugsymalone6539]

@@renaissancewomanfarm9175 sounds right. Drop me a line if you give it a try.

[@renaissancewomanfarm9175]

@@pugsymalone6539 I just found a channel yesterday that showed building the Gothic arch trusses in greater detail and with instruction. He was building a styroaircrete shed. To get his arches he cut his stock to half inch thin and he bent those strips into his jig, gluing laminations as he went. It looked less labor intensive. I definitely want to give it a go, whether for a shed, greenhouse or as a roof on another structure. If you are interested the channel was ... Stephen Williams.

Seems to me that the plece of wood you cut to connect both bows at the top ... will block the 2x6 at the top they connect to. What am I missing?

[@user-on8ls2mc8y]

how to bend wood? you can give a detailed answer! And how long is the bar??

[@jimmystoba7899]

Nice work. Are we adding any diagonals?

[@bennigoes6176]

Thank you. At the beginning I planned adding diagonals, but when the framework was finished, it was surprisingly solid. The greenhouse film added diagonal stability as well. Though ,sooner oder later I will add diagonals.

[@jamclay]

Benni, can you give dimensions of your arch layout on the table and how to cut the end blocks to make the arches.

[@bennigoes6176]

Hi Chuck, I will upload a video soon to answer a few questions. Benni

[@jamclay]

Thank you, your workmanship and attention to detail is great.

[@swimmer537]

Your video is amazing What size wood did you use?

[@bennigoes6176]

Thank you, the battens I used were cheap sized 24x48mm ones. I plained them to 20x44 mm, because the surface was pretty rough.

[@swimmer537]

Thank you for the reply. I will work on getting some wood around that size How did you figure out the length you needed for that arch?

[@bennigoes6176]

I thought about the size the greenhouse should've been and I tried different curves and lengths in google sketch up. So I decided to take the 3m battens. It is important to use knotless wood. Otherwise it would break if you bend it.

[@jaakkokorhonen]

[@T_157-40]

Great project but first need to build a shop, buy all the tools, etc. Could you produce a kit?

[@jacquesgrove7009]

I wonder if one could find a way to do this with PVC rather than wood, as wood is prohibitively expensive here. The main issue would be the join of the two pipes at the top. Any ideas?

[@pugsymalone6539]

You can heat PVC and bend it quite a bit. Don't forget to install a ridge beam along the long axis.
