The best projects often draw blood! I LOVE the roman numerals on the timbers. Classic. Also, your littlest right there with her daddy. Priceless.

[@ImmyBravv]

Literally 'Blood and Sweat' has gone into this build, hope it's appreciated. cant wait to see the finished project! Keep up the hard work :)

[@Dannyp8038]

Another one to add to the "Timber Framing" playlist when you have time.😊

[@victorhaworth2051]

You can sweep out the bottom of your mortises. After you make the 3 plunges, return to the first position and replunge. While the mortiser is still on and plunged actuate the lever that allows it to tilt and sweep across the bottom of you mortise. (I hope that makes sense) this will take out the high points in the bottom of the mortise.

[@ARepublicIfYouCanKeepIt]

Victor Haworth That'll help a bit. However, the bottom corners still need squaring off and/or the bottom sides of the tenons chamfered to clear the rounded corners left by the chain mortiser.

Great music selection! Thanks for sharing your work. :)

[@threeriversforge1997]

Glad to see I'm not the only one who find himself bleeding on a job and can't figure out how it happened. Usually, I don't even notice til well down the road and there's blood everywhere!

[@Dulsanaya]

Reminds me of working with my dad

[@1806StoneHouse]

Making some great progress!

[@libraiis]

Greatest helper ever..

[@nigelsansom2407]

Nice framing vid. Nice to see you learning as you go along and just ‘doing it’. The Makita is such a great framing tool, and totally worth the investment. I like your nice new Robert Sorby’s too; they’re going to look Well used by the time you’re done. I use the 1.5” and the 2”, and they do just fine. Just keep them sharp! Are you going to half lap your braces or dissemble the posts and beam to cut m&t’s in? Also, looks like you’re doing a kind of mill rule approach rather than the ‘line, level & plumb’ scribe rule approach we traditionally use in this country? Anyway, really looking forward to seeing how this all comes together. I can’t quite see what it is you’re trying to do yet, but am intrigued.... Stay safe (maybe get some drift pins - that bar sticking out from the one joint is a health and safety nightmare!!} and enjoy.

[@leebrown5090]

One word fella , quality !!!

[@JBSeymour]

Well done. Nice job

[@jackwright8159]

looks like you have a great helper

[@gregwarner3753]

First you draw the plan then you make the kit then you put it together. Nice accurate work. Please get some hard shoes and safety glasses for your daughter. Safety glasses for your self is also a good idea.

[@gary24752]

Should have had shoulders on the columns for the beams to rest on to take the full load. Without the seats the beam is only worth that of the tenon.

[@willoneill7269]

Kitchen roll and electrical tape!! That's A proper plaster

[@bren106]

Real men use masking tape or a zip tie, not electrical tape.

[@paulmcfadyen689]

Will O'Neill I just use super glue

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Very true, the first aid kit by the kitchen door was a quicker option than trying to find a roll of my tape with the current state of my workshop! :-)

[@bren106]

I do use sticking plasters. I keep some in the same box as my spare Stanley blades. the theory being that when you need one you need the other. To disprove that theory you have to imagine Morecambe without Wise, or bacon sandwich without brown sauce - *completely impossible!*

[@Bushyoutdoors]

Hey, love your videos. Where did you get the pegs from?

[@MarkFlower99]

Hey Love the wood working vids XD

[@aledjones84]

Hey Tim great work. Does the morticer not have any dust/ chip extraction?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

No and even if it did it would be worse than the planer for filling up the barrel within minutes. Just as easy to sweep up and throw it on the garden. There is no dust really just chips and heavy shavings.

[@AbellTo]

The cut happened to me too on a sorby. I filed the edges.

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Yeah rubbed mine back at the same time as sharpening. Pretty sure the edges were sharper than the actual cutting edge on some of my old chisels! :-)

[@Allankho]

Enjoy your wood working, your 'workshop' seems to be tight and small, be careful, viewers from Hong Kong.

[@tonycayzet9049]

Did u make the pegs or by them if so where from

[@TheMunkmeister]

are you using seasoned or green oak? please could you tell me who is your supplier? thanks

[@TheRestorationCouple]

Green oak from Yandles in Somerset.

[@user-kc1vt7id6m]

💪

[@skywarppranksarchie363]

Where did you buy your chisel you’re from

[@michaeltew782]

try wrapping some electrical tape around the top of the chisel

[@ksks423]

What happened to the final van videos ?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

On the way, plenty left, just trying to keep things varied as the channel is about more than just the van, but don't worry lots more videos in the edit.

[@ksks423]

The Restoration Couple brilliant thanks, I enjoy all your videos but it was the van restoration stuff that lead me to your channel.... keep going 👍🏼

[@kennethtalbott2233]

well you gave the blood, just need the sweat and tears. that chisels lethal. like your mortiser, might have to invest in one of those.

[@samsherlock3652]

Just use a bit of sand paper and take the sharp edges off your chisel, I had the same problem and that how I solved it

[@RobCardIV]

boy i sure dont want to be around when that drill fails X_x. boooom

[@Ajwatters]

Where did you get you framing chisel from?

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I think it was Tool nut or Toolnut, its the Robert Sorby 1.5'', quiet a few sellers online. I have a timber frame tool list that I will be adding to the vids soon.

[@paulthompson5416]

we've had the blood, we've had the sweat!! now wheres the tears 😢😂

[@barbaraknapp6970]

I was thinking the same thing!!!

[@TheRestorationCouple]

I am sure they will come! Hopefully tears of joy rather than broken toes. :-)
