Making a simple Log Bench Seat, In the bush - Going Off Grid Ep 2

[@garyjones2582]

Can you imagine clearing all your property by hand, building a house, and clearing a place for a garden.. making all your furniture by hand.. building a barn, etc.. Gives you a whole new respect for our forefathers and what they did with simple tools.. Scott glad to see you building out in the country and recording it.. Take care my friend and God Bless...

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I have those thoughts constantly. They built 'em tough in the old days. Thanks Gary, God Bless you also.

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

Australian hardwoods are why so many of them perished or went home. The saws and axes they had weren't the best steel and hardwoods like this ate them up. Clearing a few acres of this to put in crops was nightmarish work and many starved as a result. Add in heat, fires, floods and droughts.

[@PreciousRubi]

Loved this video and what an exciting new adventure. Ever watched Nik Rijavec build his cabin entirely out of logs…without machinery, except a chainsaw. Hand debarked. Logs non-mechanically moved moved into place. Makes the average person feel very inadequate but at the same time, so awe inspiring.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! Cannot say I have, but maybe I'll have too. I have a lot of trees but they are not really suitable for a cabin. they are big, heavy and crooked.

[@PreciousRubi]

@@ScottTurnerformeindustrious He makes some awesome furniture and the landing on the stair case is a huge tree root. Here’s the first episode…. But sneak a peek at the most recent house. It’s stunning. I reckon you’ll be inspired to use the timber on your land in ways you may not have thought of. kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4nOaZWcmN2imZI

Thank you Justin!

[@iulianplesa3872]

Super tare Bravooo 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@delbasidtimbers]

Sweet that you are reusing the timber that you needed to clear for the house site. That will make for a far more rewarding build at the end of the day when you know that you've used timber that came from your land and has been incorporated into many of the structures that you want to create. Loving to see more. Catch up soon!! ....that is a familiar looking mallet, btw. lol

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Many thanks Dale! So keen to use as much as of it as I can. Pity I couldn't get it segregated at the time of clearing due to extra $$. I'll get at it bit by bit. I hope you can come up one day. The mallet did the trick :)

[@rodolfomiguelserra]

Amigo, al verte construír este banco con herramientas manuales bajo estas circunstâncias me remonta a mis primeros tiempos, pues así también comencé. No dudo que pronto tendrás tu nuevo taller junto a una nueva casa pero permítete viajar por un instante en tu memória, no dudo que reencuentres con especial cariño también tus comienzos, y...disfrútalos! Cómo decimos en mi tierra: " Nadie podrá jamás quitarte lo que ya has bailado". Un fuerte abrazo!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Saludos Rodolfo! Gracias de nuevo, siempre brindas los mejores comentarios. Todo lo mejor para usted.

Brilliant little makeshift bench for tapering those legs!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cheers Rob!

[@douglasfathers4848]

You need to make your self a saw mill Scott . Really enjoyed watching how you used the hand tools . Good to know the removed trees won't go to waste . Cheers mate . :)

[@iainhetherington4608]

Patience of a saint Mate I would have dropped the brace and bit and used my cordless drill Bloody nice job though you can come camping with my family any day Cheers from down Sth

It's rare to see someone on KZbin use real hard hardwood. It becomes a completely new experience when you have to stop and sharpen your tools every few minutes or swap them out continually.

[@danlynch1154]

Darn nice bench. Take a break, you earned it.

Just a few hours before you made this video that was a log laying over with a crack in it......talk about making something outta nothing. Brilliant! Keep going Scott, you have a unique gift.

Hey there Scott, that's a clever improvised shave horse you made! I have not seen that model before. Simple is best!

HalleluYah Shalom Yah bless Loved that your re-using that tree

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Amanuel! Yes I will try and use much more of the trees for projects. Very durable timber.

[@CraigsWorkshop]

Very cool. Brace and bit is a very efficient way to get those mortises started, they are great tools. The original cordless drill :)

[@dougsaunders8109]

I remember chopping some of the dead wood out of the bush for a fire back in 2002 when I traveled around Oz. Took hours with an Axe but the camp fire was worth it, bloody stuff weighed a ton dragging it back too! 🇬🇧

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Unbelievably heavy stuff and burns for yonks!

[@gingetaylor4489]

Cmon, that's not a bench, you've craftily made a saw horse for future projects. You just bluffed the misses that its a seat. That was a loooooooonnnnngggg project. Well done, great to watch. Thanks for the content.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Ginge! Actually it the base for my shave horse, so it's still actually a seat. Took about half a day to make, but that's because of all the mucking around with the camera etc. All the best!

[@nikond90ful1]

Thanks for the video Scott. I see you are adding more wood working skills in the use of green timber. Build a pole lathe to help with that. Keep safe and stay well.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Colin! Yes a Pole Lathe will be a great project!

[@kuffyswoodwork]

Grey Box! Better you than me mate. Although the hardness will increase when it dries out, it will also get lighter (still gonna be bloody heavy though!) 😂

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Man that timber is HEAVY and hard as. I hope to get some posts and rails and maybe floor boards out of some of it. Will see how we go. Thanks as always!

You need one of them new fangled wood welders and timber Eevaporators I saw in science fiction magazine Cool job, living the dream 😎

[@dereksstuff8395]

Fun project. Great use of the tools you've got. Maybe you will bring an anvil and coal forge there? Love the setting.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Derek! All the tools will go up there eventually, but in the mean time, only what I can fit in the van.

[@andrewmullen4003]

Nice one Scott, at least all the chippings and offcuts will make fine kindling. Nice selection of catalogue poses to finish with, made me laugh.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yes I have no problems with my kindling supply now with that pile. Glad you like the poses :)

[@isaactalley2819]

It’s crazy to hear the tree rack when the time is sped up lol

[@thejameslealartco.7625]

I would think a “tripod” style bench would work pretty well. Given the use of it on uneven ground etc. plus one less leg to drill and fab.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very true. I have since made a three legged bush stool and tripod saw bench.

[@thejameslealartco.7625]

Hey you using that “y” of the branch as a vise was pretty epic Scott. I filed that one away for sure

[@roryrathbone]

'what am I doing sitting next to a fire...' 😂

[@DDB168]

Looked like damn hard work 😉

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

It was very hot and I was working on the ground, not so good for the body :)

That timber would come close to Jeanette Young as the hardest thing in Queensland.

Haha, it has nothing on JY ;)

[@tomcartmill401]

Hey Scott, are you going to get yourself something like a Lucas mill or try and cut floor boards from that by hand (chain saw)? Bloody hard work in the cool of winter, madness in summer mate. I'll still watch and have a little chuckle at your expense. Thanks for all you do.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Hey Tom. I might be able to get some one in for the milling with a Lucas Mill. Too much for my little chain saw, and you are right, not summer work. I struggled out there in the sun. Thank you and all the best!

What's next, a bed with rope mattress support, then a table and four chairs. All made out of reclaimed Grey Box. You need a bigger saw mate LOL 👍🇬🇧👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

All the above, but I hope to build a little cabin next. Definitely need that bigger saw!

[@Preso58]

Love the manly poses at the end 😍 Are you going to stain it though?

[@scottlesoway3872]

MR.turner nice job you might want to check the tightness on your chain saw it sounds way to tight.there should be a little slack on the chain.or you will burn out the bar .

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I appreciate the advice, thank you.

[@Farm_fab]

We have some Australian grey box growing here in the States, but it's prohibited to cultivate it here as it kills the understory growth from the needle like litter.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Interesting, thank you!

[@dennisbinyon9023]

gday mate milled some grey box for a verandah few years back thought 6x6 posts would look good milled the first one shifted it off the log and thought to myself nah 4x4 much better bloody heavy stuff

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Cannot blame you, the stuff is seriously heavy!

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Labour of love that turned out mint! And all those sexy poses at the end - you be careful son - out there in the idyllic bush - just you and the missus - that would be a big age gap! 😂

[@damienoliver8799]

Your chain saw needs a good going over. The rakers are too high, chain needs to be sharpen and sounds like it is running rich on the high jet or the air cleaner is clogged. If you look it is making dust not chips

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I think you are right to a degree. Aircleaner freshly cleaned. I've had problems with it's tuning as it needs a special adjusting screwdriver tool. I now have one so I'll work on the carb adjustments to get the revs up. Yes maybe right on the chain also but the long rip cut I did, it's the wrong chain for that work in this timber being like iron/ Thanks for your feedback Damien!

[@rachelhunting]

It's the middle of summer, why did you light a fire? Haven't we had enough fires in Aus mate? Great vid thanks for posting.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Re fires. it's the wet season in the far north, best time to fire if you need to clean up like I was. The dry season is a time to be extra careful, but be careful always. Thanks for your comment.

Seems like wood that hard should be forged, not sawn 🙂
