How to Cut Two Important Timber Frame Joints ~ The Pavilion Construction Continues!

[@floridian7143]

Retired Timber Framer, nice to see it still carries on! Thanks for sharing!

[@EntrepreneurialSpirit85]

It’s just beginning for me!! Cut my first beam the other day!!

Any opportunity to listen to this man is indeed a gift.

Oiling is the most important thing I can do for my chain ❤

I lived in British Columbia for 2 years after the war, in the bush. The fish camp where I lived was entirely built of log construction, with post & beam Internals, a wood sauna and shower, several other buildings.. What an education, even with my experience in Oregon logging from the age of 14 on. Watching this sure takes me back, sentimentally. Very cool to watch this.

Why am I not surprised? It has been an honor to be a follower of your gun knowledge as a subscriber and as a student Timberframer to have this video pop up was a relief. I glad to have your knowledge about this also. Precise attracts precise

GunBlue490! right on! We share several passions. Nice chain mortis machine!

[@johnshoureas1629]

A man of many talents. This reminds me of the KZbin channel "Mr. Chickadee" only with audio instructions.

[@joefw2446]

Great project. Thanks for taking us along.

[@tvogel1810]

You are a quite impressive man. I am new to guns and find your lectures (university level btw) on your wonderful channel are enlightening to say the least. Now woodworking! I've have been a cabinet maker for 31 years and love all things wood. You are also an excellent teacher, thank you.

[@GunBlue490]

Thank you! I love cabinetmaking, especially with cherry and white oak. I began cabinetmaking in 1987 and it's quite rewarding.

[@tvogel1810]

@@GunBlue490 Well you have been cabinet making longer than me. I am thrilled you responded to me. I have a high standard supermatic mid 60's and am learning bullseye shooting - i.e. one handed. It's a blast - my back is killing me....

[@ericbrabham3640]

Impressive craftsmanship.

[@DirtDigglerDetecting]

Thank you for sharing your Knowledge :)

[@RichThomasInfo]

I watch your channel for gun stuff. And now for timber framing ❤

[@michaelkulczyk8642]

I am very interested in seeing Timber framing and appreciate your detailed explanations. I do wish you had repositioned the camera when you were doing chain saw mortise so that we could actually seen what was happening in the wood. You explained well be it wouldhave Bern better if we could have seen something other than the chain saw moving up and down.

[@dougshaffer5524]

There is a Marine Veteran that goes by Mr. Chickadee on KZbin. He does all sorts of timberframing, and builds his own tools. You should reach out to collaborate.

[@scruffysstash]

You have a tremendous wealth of knowledge gunblue. I'm curious how your bullet casting is going, I'm just getting back into reloading again myself.

[@GunBlue490]

Thank you. This project has most of my attention and physical energy at this time as I fight against the clock, so my furnace is quite idle.

[@dodsonarmsco]

Great content, I would like to see more like this.

[@oilhammer04]

I have a Powermatic mortising machine that works great for furniture. I didn't know that your machine existed. What a great invention.

[@kolschesky]

Great craftsmanship!

[@pabuffa]

I have to laugh. Before I rwlized who this was, I was thinking man, this sounds just like gunblue. LoL Nice informative video. Thank you!

[@theshadow4292]

I thoroughly enjoy watching and learning from someone who knows what and how to explain the issue or lesson in a learnable manner. Albeit, I hate like all Hell to have to listen to an instructor who wants to tell you or to talk about a dozen other things while he is supposed to be teaching you about a specific method performing a specific type of wood cut etc. Guess which type you are.....

[@nerradnosnhoj5122]

Awesome video , Keep 'em coming !

[@ToadfishTodd]

Great Video content as always! Thanks for sharing knowledge!!

[@markl6769]

Thanks.

[@alexmiller499]

I like how you use a box cutter to make marks. When multiple people are cutting, everyone cuts a little different and it adds up in the end

[@TimandLiamsEastcoastkoillc]

great video thank you for taking time out of your day to share this and I really do like the mortise plunge saw but here in the US man it's hard to get a hold of one of them even a used one is like 600 bucks

[@SchmakDog]

Great work here! I've been a student of Timber Framing for some time, myself.. a couple classes under my belt and I'm hoping to cut my first frame soon. I'm also into Sketchup. I was wondering if you would be willing to share any of your joint models? I'm planning to build a patio gazebo, wood shed or carport for my first frame and would like to see what you have done to make your plans in Sketchup. Thanks!!!

[@herbertwessel2412]

Very good explaination and demonstration of these joinery technics. We live in an old farmhouse, 44 yds long build new in 1796. The old house and barn burnt down so they had to replace it. They used this framework technic combined with clay and/or bricks. The biggest cross-section and length of beams is 15“x15“x17yds. They build the house and the similar sized barn in 1796 and 1797. Today there are no such oak trees around. Greetings from northern Germany.

[@pkgoldopalhunting]

good job, great looking machine ,you would think they would have a lube oil drip feed or something for the chain as a chain saw has to help with over heating chain and chain stretching and longevity of chain

[@GunBlue490]

Unlike a chain saw, this tool cannot employ oil that would stain or contaminate the wood. Even the ends of each timber are badly stained by bar oil from the day they were felled. These Makita chain mortisers are known for long term reliability.

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

And some cutting oil

[@danoneill2846]

Thanks

[@majorpayne5289]

👍Good stuff. Gonna be super strong!

Thank you Sir!!

Keep up the good work with the videos it's not good to pass the knowledge to the young ones 10/10

[@antonhan4815]

It pleases me to see you doing some timber framing work. It was my job for over a year. I now have an addiction to collecting Japanese woodworking tools, especially for timber framing. Just FYI, for the housings that you're making around the mortise, make it slightly deeper. If you put your framing square across, there should be a slight dip in the middle. This allows for the joint and housing to expand and contract without pushing at any other mated timbers. Also I've been following and taking a lot of advice from you in regards to fire arms, maintenance, etc. Cheers and best wishes.

[@JoeyChrome]

Great video... But why isn't Benny there with you?!

[@GunBlue490]

Actually, he was very close by, under the deck, staying in the shade on a very hot day.

[@dowdawg]

Didn’t realize you were a master carpenter also?

[@GunBlue490]

No, I'm simply an enthusiastic amateur.

[@dowdawg]

@@GunBlue490 Your being humble, but I guess your comparing yourself with professional timber framers. It’s impressive, where I live you would be considered a master.

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

You probably know that the brace langths are also embossed on many of the framing squares

[@callawayken650]

That timber wouldn't even make a good firepit log after I tried to do that joint.

[@samcooke2742]

Beautiful wood. Where did it come from?

[@GunBlue490]

It's native Eastern White Pine, widely available anywhere in northern New England, and a favorite of sawmills. It grows wild and aggressively, at over five feet per year, and will commonly reach 100 feet in dense stands.

[@samcooke2742]

@@GunBlue490 Yes, Eastern White Pine is a dream for woodworking. Clear, seasoned 8"x 8" x 18' beams are a treasure that you're not going to find at Home Depot.

Love you and much respect for this entire project, but dear lord that literal foundation for the pizza oven is WAY overkill. I understand the logic (below frost line etc) I just think it would still be standing there in 100+ years even if you were just 6” below grade.

[@Charon-5582]

I love timber framed buildings, however I don't like the cheater plates with all the bolts instead of properly joining it.

[@GunBlue490]

I agree, Timber framing with mortise and tenon is certainly more beautiful and classical. But in most states, such joinery is strictly not allowed for commercial or public buildings, where approved post and beam connectors are required. The steel joints have specific ratings for architects to follow, in combination with specific woods or laminated beams, whereas none exist for timber frames. It's not really cheating; it's just the only way it would ever be approved for churches, restaurants, public farmers markets, etc. Properly done, it can be quite beautiful in its own right.

[@michaelweymouth4015]

How are you sharpening your chisels ?

[@GunBlue490]

I use a system of graduated whetstones with water and a bevel guide.
