This is a great wood project book kzbin.infoUgkxkPIWb22DigCqxmlXerCyUF4HCl6eSU2L . Most of the projects use the pallet simply as a source of reclaimed wood not as a recognizable pallet so even if you didn't have a pallet you could make these projects with any reclaimed (or even new) wood. The instructions are excellent. The style is charming and would work with lots of different decor. There are quite a number of projects that involve tiling of teh wood pieces which is a really cool idea and can produce beautiful pieces when working with aged wood.

The precision on this build is actually mind boggling.. no mastic infills, no foam sprayed to cover holes (just to secure tiles).. just amazing craftmanship which gets things to the mm. As an architect I am beyond impressed with how much attention and time would have been taken to design this to that kind of preciseness. Watching the jigs that you used to level the concrete to get the rafters bang on is incredible.. Well done guys.

[@jaygranttaylor]

There is no way you're a professional architect if you think any of the processes in this video are "incredible". These are all pretty basic construction techniques, albeit impressively executed by a small 2-man team. I suggest you get out on site more.

This was fine craftsmanship to the very end..all done by the same two all the way through.

Respect! Coming from Germany I know good craftsmanship for roofing and this topped everything I've seen before. You can see your love to detail and taking on each challenge with your own pace vs. having a contractor shooting cheap nails and staples. Will pay off for sure. This roof will last a century or more. I now live in USA and cringe every time I see them build houses in the cheapest possible way in 4-6 months, turnkey ready, then ask a fortune for it. Thanks for uploading and producing this video.

[@jacquyjacquot4421]

As French, I recognize directly that you are restoring a house in the same region where I just have finished my own restoration after 40 years. The work you have done is not only huge but professional. The tools that you are using are impressive, far away from what I have seen by the local professional. Being myself very conservative about restoration of ancient house, I was helped by a magazine “Maisons paysannes de France” which guided me in certain works linked to old technics and tools. In fact, based on my reading and with the help of an old carpenter, to finish the curve of a beam or other pieces of wood, I didn’t used a sander but with we call that in french “une herminette” the result is not so smooth but more ancient. The technic that you are using to put your tiles is unknown for me, maybe is linked to the local way. In Dordogne, for a roof of a barn, separated by 20 to 24”, 6 to 8” oak square rafters are used. To support the tiles, we nail pine or chestnut planks.So, from bellow, we don’t see the tiles. I don’t known if you are aware that the region is infected by termites. To protect each piece of wood which is in contact with a wall or the ground, I drill a few holes and inject xylofene on a length of 20”. I have used my best english to congratulate you and admire the work you have done. Your talent (and your money) will save a beautiful 300 years old farm. Be aware that you’re the money that you are investing in this project will be commented (not always positively) by your french neighbors. Enjoy the view on the Pyrenees and le foie gras du Gers.

It is 2 a.m. here in Los Angeles County, I'm lying in bed, and I just watched the entire episode. BRILLIANT!!! I loved the filming, narration, humor, and all of the explanations of techniques and the rationale behind each one. FASCINATING!!! I have no skills like yours. Instead, an advanced degree in history. I was quite pleased to learn that oak lasts so many hundreds of years. There is something very inspiring and comforting to me in learning how long an organic material such as oak can last! Truly amazing! I really admire your skill in framing, carpentry, and tile work! Practical knowledge is a beautiful thing. I'm close to retirement age, and I hope to be able to use my remaining years in a hobby that involves building things out of scrap wood and scrap metal. There is so much unnecessary waste of resources in how we live today that I love to see restoration projects like this that reclaim decrepit artifacts from impending but unnecessary oblivion. I had never seen any of your videos prior to just now. You, your father, and your female colleague have earned a "thumbs up" and a new subscriber. Please keep up your great work!!! I'm glad to hear that the kind of work you do helps you cope better with your condition.

As a french I love seeing old buildings being respected. Too many french companies are destroying with cement and concrete a lot patrimonial or simply old buildings made of natural elements such as wood, stones, dirt. To me we need more companies in France working this way. I'm sick to see pvc and concrete and cement mortar all over the place. I'd just say that it's a shame you haven't used concrete made from lime to seal the tiles. Also instead of the cement concrete leveling and base you could have used a mix of hemp fibre/lime/sand concrete with loads of stones in there. Anyway, Happy to see foreigners doing a great job, you guys are excellent craftmen. Félicitation!

The job you guys did and showed us simply demonstrate a great labour. I loved to see this video and hope you can share what you guys did in the rest of the house. Thanks a million for showing every step of the job.

[@yummboy2]

In some ways, this is better than all the previous, individual videos. Carl's narration takes things to a much higher level of understanding. Very well done!

[@johnvann2351]

Well that was just about the best hour and a half I’ve spent in a long time. Brilliant stuff! Thank you

[@jaapfries]

Don't mind if I use your prose, since I agree 100% ! Cheers, Jaap

[@fjalls]

Actually just sat down, adjusted my chair and just watched. It was a treat

[@wolfmachatch2855]

..my eyes were glued to your video too! well done, the whole thing to watch, the music, even to think about the enormous cost involved, and yes, to do it with your dad, great, hat off. Would have liked to see a bit more with the roof washed clean after the rain, or even with the rain falling off it Never mind, cheers

It’s so important that these skills don’t get lost to more modern practices

[@jonlilley9161]

Beautiful work!!! I think I'm more impressed with the colors of the old tiles than then new. It's magnificent!

[@vereabsolutum9131]

I'm a retired SEABEE BUILDER and I think you folks did a GREAT JOB.

[@redmapleleaf4617]

I've always admired people who can build things and restore things. You guys take it to the next level!! This is AWESOME!

[@blainemccuaig5024]

Absolutely amazing can’t believe the amount of work your father and you put into this.

[@nancychong4650]

This was a very tedious job, but you got it perfectly done. It's wonderful you made used of reclaimed handmade terracotta tiles. Totally love this video.

[@irvinslagter8298]

I'm with the rest, I watched the whole thing. Couldn't stop. I can't get over the incredible amount of work it took and the resolve you had to do it. I tried to imagine the effort it took the original builders to erect that with the tools they had to use back then. Respect!!

[@Bigtbuilder]

Best video I have seen for ages. That roofs a work of art and it’s great to see a father and son working so well together with such respect.

[@1wingedangel597]

This was incredibly beautiful to watch guys. The thing that amazed me was I watched the whole video without skipping parts and I’m not even into construction lol. I think the title had me hooked plus all the amazing skills of father and son and everyone wow. Proud of what you guys do. Your father taught you well Carl.

[@Matttheprat]

Just found your channel and it’s incredible, I’ll be back watching everything it’s so so good too see this level of craftsmanship but also having great videography.

[@gardeninggirl7300]

Wow! The quality of craftsmanship is outstanding! It’s almost impossible to find people who are willing to produce such a quality product these days. I’m so glad you created this video.

Nothing beats craftsmanship like that . But folk won't pay for it 🙄 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦕🦄😁🤞✌ Alot say they can do it And charge full price for poor workmanship Need to trust your builder

[@jenniebugs1]

Strange dichotomy of feeling so relaxed watching something that involved such hard work! In the present day everything is geared towards quick fixes, instant gratification and shortcuts - but the beauty of this video is that it demonstrates the fulfilment of spending time on every detail, taking each individual task as to how it relates to the whole. Time didn’t seem like empty space any longer, but full of meaning and creativity. This is a lesson on how we should learn to fill our time on planet Earth with meaningful worthiness and the rewards? Deep satisfaction and a life that becomes a work of art and well lived.

[@caitesmith7]

I just found this channel, and I must say, it was quite relaxing to watch them work. I appreciated that they played the natural sounds and not music. I liked the explanations as well. Excellent! I liked that they introduced there doggie to us! How lovely! I will be back!

[@user-cn8wu2ok5s]

I am so impressed with your meticulous attention to detail! I really respect and admire your skills!!

[@slobama]

I noticed it says, "father & son" but there was a third person involved and kudos to her as well. Great work and enjoyable video. None better. Besides the skill you have a lot of patience.

[@brandonrupp5880]

I was kinda thinking the same thing, but anyone who watches the video will notice the 3rd member of the team.

[@austen9556]

He mentions like 15min into the video he has arthritis and he was recovering from a flare up that’s why She was there and he points out how he was great full because of it

[@H0DAX1]

@@austen9556 He still did work offscreen its just that other people did the heavy lifting and stuff

[@pferguson2212]

What a truly skilfiul and respectful restoration. You must be so proud of your father and clearly he has taught you well. Keep up the great work and thank you for the best hour and a half spent on KZbin for a long time!

[@triskerslake3763]

Magnificent. A joy to watch. The overall care and the attention to tiny details make this a craftman's documentary. Bravo.

[@bobkhan1809]

Thanks for taking the time to make this video and share it with us. I'm sure your relationship with your dad has its troubles, like all relationships do, but it really is an unspeakable blessing to have the chance to work together with a father in a trade like yours. I'm glad you two have been given the chance to live such a life--caring for the past, adding value to society today, and serving those you are responsible to with dedicated craftsmanship that also looks to the future.

[@terrystephens1102]

What excellent craftsmanship, I’d be extremely proud of such a result. Well done 😃👌👌👏👏👏👏

[@samsen3965]

I salute this father and son and every other one who participated. Truly one of a kind fun in the entire life.

[@jeremy1350]

A beautiful video. I'm so impressed with you and your dad's woodworking skills. Doing everything by hand with the help of a few BIG tools, shows the care and skill that went into the rebuild. Well Done. I've not seen another woodworking project like yours in a very long time. It fit in seamlessly with the rest of the building.

[@cathybaggott2873]

The skilled and hardworking young woman who helped with this project is certainly "lots of help" and deserves more credit. Wonderful to watch your techniques.

[@chrisashley6611]

Great video! I watched the constituent parts beforehand - to see them put together in this video is terrific. I’m no carpenter, but I am seriously impressed by the skill and man-hours that have gone into this restoration. What a thing of beauty, and what a legacy to leave for future generations. Many congratulations.

Love the extra long videos! You do an excellent job with your dad! Thanks for all the hard work

[@JadedLady]

The way the colors of the roof tiles turned out is BEAUTIFUL!

[@123spleege]

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! My first thought was, " these guys are going to do a modern replacement...that sucks" Man was I wrong. Modern tools remaking a true to form original replacement!!!!!!! You guys just gave me my Christmas present!!! And you worked with your dad....a miracle for sure. I have worked with my dad on build projects!!!! NOPE!!! haha. But I would do anything to have him back now. Lost him 3 years ago. Precious times brother! I am a licensed contractor here in California,(C-39), and loved the tools. Your scarf joints were flawless. Those offsets make a huge difference. I could go on and on and on how much it means to me that people still do this kind of work...Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year.

Repent to Jesus Christ! “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2:10-11‬ ‭NIV‬‬ H

[@christopherkrum]

This was a masterclass on an old restoration. Very well detailed explanations on every process. It was so much fun watching this. I would love to watch you guys build a modern log cabin next, from the ground up. Well done.

[@albertbentley56]

What a fantastic job well done looks fabulous, your dads a clever man. I can see from the workmanship and skill you’ve both put it, the results stand out. 👍👍👍👍

This was one of the most captivating projects I have seen on KZbin, your father most be so proud of you, I can't imagine the time it actually took to complete and also the editing of the film footage. Well done guys and it was a pleasure to watch. ;)

[@BaconDanish]

It was nice watching this renovation in one go. Brought tears to my eyes to see the efford put into the old with a twist of new. Good job to you all.

Yeah , beautiful work on a building with so much character. One of the best videos ive watched this whole year.

WOW!! Exquisite workmanship. I am so so impressed. Keep well and greetings from South Africa

[@LarJensen]

So, really nice video guys. and really nice work. Im a Norwegian carpenter and I've done similar stuff in the past on old historically protected farms and structures. It is always so satisfying being allowed not only the time and the budget to be able to restore things with the old techniques. Also, I wasnt aware of the existence of some of the tools you guys were using, would have saved me quite a lot of hand sawing having that sword saw. And knowing about the chain saw mortiser might come in handy too some day. two thumbs up on the work, thanks for sharing.

[@Meticularius]

I am 100% impressed by your patience, skills, knowledge, and sense of humor. Yes, I jumped when you screamed at the table saw and everything went black. I'm 73 and still have all my fingers and thumbs having learned what that saw can do. I learned years ago when a three-phase jammed a piece of my freehand work 1-inch above my male part but into the left testicular tube. I ended up all right but it was a very painful and bruising experience. I admire you two for your demonstrations, skillful flying, and I am stunned by that sword saw. Man, if I had that I could have made bigger and better messes. Thank you so much for being on KZbin and sharing this part of your life with us. I watched every minute and then subscribed, then looked over your previous videos. I'll be watching those. Good stuff.
