How to, roundwood mortise and tenon, timber framed shed part 2

[@CuriousJosh]

I love your videos so much. I know I’m commenting on one from 7 years ago but everything I’ve seen is amazing and I thank you for creating them.

[@Kajpaje]

I knew Chris couldn't have been an engineer, too practical. Was baffled which trade he worked at. Something mechanical perhaps? Gave me a clue when he mentioned working on lifts. Lift mechanic or electrician? Handy with tools, saws, chisels, motors, plumbing, electrical, building, plastering, tiling. I'm happy guessing. Great attitude to life and work, solving problems. Like him I never want to live near a city again. Love his work.

[@yenoh243]

Your smile at the end said it all! Good job

[@wetdedstuocm]

Well you have taught this ""Old Dog "" a few new tricks, you Sir are a Very Good Carpenter. Keep on going I really enjoy your work.

[@tamitng]

Great project!! Now you need one of those big Fred Flintstone giant wood mallets to whack it together! I love these kind of buildings using wood in the round, it's much stronger than cut wood. I'm sure you have seen Ben Law's videos, he is fabulous!

[@tiggasmum]

What a clever guy you are , don’t always understand the technical stuff , but love watching it all coming together, I was well impressed with this :)

[@jerButler87]

Thanks for this! I'm building my own roundwood timber frame and was stumped at how to do the mortise. I like that little jig. Simple and effective!

[@oldtimeengineer26]

very nice job the building will still be standing well after you are gone. timber framing and log building is the best

[@maehay4065]

It looks like you and your friend worked a miracle around that timber post😉🤓🤗😍👏🙏👍🏡

[@harlemsar]

Dude that template trick is golden , tks

[@Graeme408]

Kris, again an exceptional video. I am a sub and get my bell rung each time you post. I learn much with every video. I so hope you get sponsors or whatever you need to continue these fine videos. Thank you, and rich greetings from the Mid Atlantic of the United States.

[@KyzusEnillikeenge]

Best video description of simple scribe rule style. Great job very valuable video.

[@robertread8436]

I am most impressed by the accuracy you can achieve with a chainsaw. I find the chainsaw jumps and I am lucky to get within 10 mm of the line. I would need to use a handsaw to cut a reasonable fitting tenon.

[@johnhammack12]

You are teaching us old farts the way to get things done. Keep up the good work Cris.

[@Grizz270]

got that right ...i was a carpenter for 40 years and im learning so much from him

[@danielclark3686]

John Hammack sorry to say but he went the long way around finding centre of the pice of wood. But was still interesting to watch

[@rjk69]

+daniel clark I thought that too. Not sure about measuring the width of the tenon on the curve of the wood either, that's not going to be correct.

[@waynebayer3144]

DONE BUT THE HARD WAY

[@vaultsjan]

I would have used level on both ends to mark 2 perpendicular lines (crossing more or less at centre of the log) and then snapped the line to connect the ends. Is there better way to do the same thing?

[@Graeme408]

You use that Stihl like a surgeon. Well done

[@googleuser6592]

Great videos, the knowledge has helped me immensely. May I say though, hovering your face over a chainsaw with a reverse grip (9 minutes in) is a very dangerous gamble, even though it's a fairly small chainsaw.

[@matthiasherzog5201]

A good old-fashioned crosscut saw might be a good alternative.

[@benjaminrennicke]

This video and nr.3 awnsered all my questions . Thank you

[@acaptainslife9712]

I like the bit at 3:55 where he uses the level to make sure that the first line will be perpendicular to the next line created with the weighted end of the string line. Simple and genius at the same time.

[@ServiceTrek]

so cool, thanks for going through the markup process.

[@truckersrknights1383]

Writing from the Canada's...thinking whilst watching this....how did my forefathers from England ever get their cabins built quick enough to survive the first Canadian winter!?! The attention to detail the quest for perfection shown here in this video, would have proved deadly back in those days, I'm sure

[@Ksransonia]

Love your work. I enjoy watching you .

[@WoodchuckNorris.8o]

Thank you for the tricks. I found this out today, Your square and string scribing technique only works if the imaginary straight line is level.

[@KrisHarbour]

Yeah that’s right 👍 did I not say that in the video? Learning from mistakes is best anyway 😁

[@wolfsangeleyes]

I like how you took your time explaining how to mark out and cut a mortise and tenon. On a side note, the spam ads in the comment section is awful. Can't you block these idiots?

[@philplatts6433]

Love this stuff great job kris

[@reneep9968]

I was so concerned that the chainsaw might kickback an ruin your log. Looking forward to seeing more of these timber frame videos. Blessings...

[@omgwtfits7612]

Renee P I was worried it’d kickback at the 9:00 mark

[@timfromtang]

lovely building gents, it occurs that a rear handled chainsaw would be safer and offer more control for joinery applications.

[@n00bicon4]

great lesson in building with square rule, thanks for this one buddy

[@TheRedhawke]

Well done Kris.

[@Dingbat217]

Nice progress, thanks for sharing! :-)

[@michellelewis3063]

No criticism....Or you can screw a 50mm batton top and bottom, they can be either a marking guide or saw the tenon faces using the batton as guide. Tenon tops and bottoms also guaged from one batton denoted as datum. Tenons are then aligned in both axies and you avoid all the complex marking out. :)...I would never recommend anyone use a top handle saw for plunging to make mortices, without 2 handles there's almost no control to prevent kicks. Obviously, if you are highly experienced you take your own calculated risks.

[@jonmccarthy6276]

im still waiting on your water wheel lol, good stuff keep going with head down pal.

You sir are a Renaissance Master Craftsman, really do enjoy your video. May I ask you where you gotten all this knowledge? You are awesome. This is the same way my Greatgrandfather build all the barns on our farm, that was in the late 1800's.

[@reneep9968]

Rock on!

[@umbalaba]

This is really cool stuff! Thank you for teaching us this! Yet, I wonder if the roundwood will keep working and splitting (since it is so freshly cut and has not had time to dry out). If that is the case, I wonder if the movement of the wood will throw your carefully measured mortises and tenons out of sync?

[@beyondthunderstick1578]

Green wood will dry together. Undried green lumber frames depending on type like hemlock may need metal ties to prevent the beams frlm twisting. Otherwise the weight of the build will generally dry them together in place. Kiln dried is necessary because screws and nails will not hold green lumber. Hence the joinery.

[@BillyBigBaws]

Great stuff

[@joeschmoe5170]

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I can't figure out how the tenon is perpendicular to the bottom of the log. For example, in the beginning when you made the first mark on the bottom of the log and put the string all the way down the length of log, how do you know that string line is perfectly perpendicular to the bottom of the log where the post will rest. Just judging with your eyes is good enough? By the way, your channel's content is awesome tons of knowledge here 👍

[@marciam6224]

I really enjoy your videos. The knowledge you have for creating things is amazing. Can't wait to see the finished product. How long before you move into the cabin full time?

[@beckercraig1178]

Guys I am learning woodworking shed plans at *WoodBlueprints. Com* I recommend this website all you guys who are beginner or advance in woodworking

[@tankfilms.]

Great video - what insecticide / fungicide is used to protect the wood ?

[@hectormacneil9437]

I really enjoyed the video. Thanks! I have a question about your chainsaw. The rear handle /throttle is on the top of the saw, rather that at the rear of the saw. Is this a special type of saw for this work? Do you find this design preferable for timber frame construction?

[@docxenoamour8203]

good stuff, thank fk for chainsaws eh, are you pegging the joints?

[@MaxwellWeber-f7n]

Im a bit confused on how you transfer your mortise layout with that clever jig to the back of the log, I played it back several times but cant seem to figure it out, mind trying to help me understand?

[@davidreed9916]

Just curious as to why you preferred using the string method when you had a level in your hands. Great work as always Kris!

[@KrisHarbour]

The idea of this layout is so that the tenon points where you want it to regardless of the shape of the log or how bent it is. Take a bent bit of wood and try and get a tenon out the end that is going to make the post hang correctly with a level. what you end up with is a stright tenon that is not relative to the bottom in anyway. you have to lay out with string to creat a square through the wood from bottom to top to work from. you cant do that with a leval.

[@davidreed9916]

@@KrisHarbour I get the use of the string down the length of the log but once the top point is established can't you just use a level to create the tenon layout

[@coltknight3945]

Kris much quicker way to do this couple of straight planks on either side of your log and trim in with your Alaskan.

[@KrisHarbour]

Yeah that would work to. that would be a good way for a post like this but the string method is a lot more versatile for really long stuff. Good idea and i might give it a try next time.

SAFETY NO GO!!! 1- put face shield down, it does no good to wear it up. 2- never hover over blade, if saw kicks the blade jumps up....

[@punkbloater]

Man, love your work, but this seem's overly complicated and too timeconsuming for a shed imo. Then again it will be super strong.

[@Freedomone153]

I love how the guy is using the chainsaw with the face shield is up. Definitely no safety there.

Be carefull if it kicks it is in your face. 8:49

"This is going to be fun because there is a nub there"

[@KrisHarbour]

short for a nubbin. the technical term for a lump or knot on a bit of wood or a tree..... myself and a friend climb trees quite often. often your rope gets caught up on a bit of wood sticking out. and we call it "getting nubbed" i think it must have slipped in to my vocabulary.

[@montanawestphotography6671]

OMG sticking your face right over the chain while cutting is NOT the proper handling of a chainsaw folks. I about lost my cereal when I saw that. So don't adopt his method...just let him do it.

I really hate to come down on you, Period. But the fact is, Pioneers didn't have to do all that extra math that you seem to be concerned about because. The Pioneers lined the logs up because of the way they were made.
