🔴1/35: Building a Post and Beam Garage - chainsaw accuracy

[@summerlakephotog8239]

Brilliant. So much more helpful than most timber framing videos.

Hope you enjoy the series, and welcome to the channel!

Thank you for making the equipment noises quieter. It's quite jaring when other KZbinrs don't turn down the volume, and I get an earful of full volume chainsaw / whatever.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

You are very welcome Tim, hammer blows not so easy to catch always, mostly my soundtracks are reduced by youtube, often making some parts a little bit inaudible. It is quite time consuming work editing, so it is gratifying that you appreciate the effort, thanks for watching and commenting, hope you find something of use or interest on the channel , all the best, Lucas

Thanks Larry

Looks great. I will be building and filming very similar next year with reclaimed barn beams. I look forward to watching the series.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Big Woodsman hope you find some useful footage, all the best, Lucas

Saw for the first time in your videos the red tongs. Those are great and have a been a back saver for me. I use them on beams and also many round logs I'm preparing for a round log shed. I ordered a second ratcheting F clamp earlier tonight. I saw one for the first time when you were working on the garage addition. You used it to clamp onto beams to move them around by the long part of the F clamp. I thought that very useful. A clamp plus an aid to move a beam around with the same tool. I watched this again for the chainsawing part. One issue with stance is having the left leg forward and partly out of sight because of the chainsaw. I've had a rule to never have any part of me forward of the power head. Most cuts are to the left leg thigh. So I'll have to come up with a reliable way to hold the saw with the left leg back. Good video.

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Getting the saw close to the body is important both for safety and to avoid body strain. On a different subject, look up the channel timberdoodles, there are films by a pro framer, with use of the specialist tools for framing I don't have. All the best Lucas

Good job

[@LucasRichardStephens]

Thanks Abiti

[@arsie2475]

What is the orange clamp called for moving the timber, very useful!

[@LucasRichardStephens]

tommersaks in Norwegian. Maybe timber scissors? I also use a clamp I think made by USAG. Those "scissors" are marketed by chainsaw manufacturers.

@@LucasRichardStephens many thanks

[@bpdp379]

@@arsie2475 in the USA they are called skidding tongs.

[@CarlMadsen]

@@bpdp379 Timber Tongs gets you the kind with the handle (like in the video) vs. the skidding tongs are made to hook onto a chain or rope. - www.baileysonline.com/husqvarna-8-timber-tongs-hva-574-38-75-02.html
