Making a Japanese timber frame parallel chord truss with curvy timbers.

[@propylaeen]

Sunday 3:18 in the morning European standard time and Mr. Chickadee already made my day.

[@srh1101]

Watching a truly skilled craftsman at work is a sheer delight and never gets old. Thank you for showing us your work

[@The_Modeling_Underdog]

All about this channel teaches you to exercise patience. The planning, preparing the wood and working on it, the upload schedule. Definitely one of my favourites. Thanks for so much, Mr. C.

[@pamdemonia]

Thanks for the loveliest and most meditative carpentry videos on youtube. I especially enjoyed the layout work.

[@MrChickadee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ctcollinthib]

That timber sings, happy to be used at the hands of someone who can appreciate it and work it. Outstanding.

[@clydedecker765]

Words can attempt to give praise for your skills and improvements but what I truly admire is your patience and perseverance to get the job done. Your willingness to reduce the set on the saw to achieve the clean cut in an extremely tough piece of wood is remarkable. I could not imagine you using a dull saw but as I listened I could tell that the set was not huge. Your endurance is astounding. Most of all, I can not believe you're able to find somewhere where there aren't hundreds of people standing around watching you work. If I had a complaint it would be too few videos but I would not want you to stop expressing your skills with wood and tool.Thank you.

[@MrChickadee]

Thank you for the kind words Clyde. Your ear is right sir! This particular tree shot up 150 years ago when our land was cleared for pasture, it grew fast till the hardwoods replaced the pasture then it slowed wayyyy down. Its last several inches of wood had 50+ rings to the inch, and in "yellow" type pine, that equals almost solid latewood, which is insanely hard. Id wager this pine is denser and stronger than most hardwoods in our forests. It really felt like going through metal with a hacksaw at times. It was also dried 3 years. The saws, both rip and corsscut, though very sharp have just the slightest touch of set. BUt they do give a very nice straight flat face that needed no clean up.

[@WisconsinWanderer]

Good to see you again my friend. Admire your work. Thank you 🙏

[@badassfood5713]

I love watching your content. I can pick any video from any list, from any project and be happily awestruck with your work. Thank you mr, and mrs chickadee.

[@piousminion7822]

As you worked the captions said "[Music]", and I can't agree more.

[@melissad1854]

Reminds me of a Japanese style Torii gate . Beautiful craftsmanship!

[@bloodgracet5640]

I dont see what the big deal is? Everybody hand chisels, hand drills, hand cuts their own timber beams with the pains-taking effort and precision as Mr Chickadee. Shoot, there's nothing to see here, there's no syncopated music, no catchy title, no sponsors hocking expensive tools, no swag to buy, no expensive shop to walk-through. Mr Chickadee has nothing...except 375,000 subscribers that are interested in a man who does what only 1 in 65,000 men would do. Love Mr Chickadee's work and his videos. I'm in.

[@kennedy67951]

Japanese Carpentry is some of the finest skills someone could have when it come's to Wood Working. It seems as if you have Nailed it Mate. You've shown all, just how Beautifully this stile of Wood Working should be executed. This example of Wood Working is way above your normal everyday Carpenter skills, that I would consider it being Art. Thanks for sharing your hard earned knowledge with me. I do appreciate this, very much.

[@mrstandfast2212]

Nailed it? Surely you meant he's pegged it! 😉 You're absolutely right though, this is true craftsmanship.

[@idontthinkso666]

i would aPpreciate it if yoU would not capitalize Random letters, sir. Here's a quick refresh: proper nouns (unique individuals, events, or places), the name of a person, or the first letter in a sentence. That's it. Three simple rules!

[@ahikernamedgq]

@@mrstandfast2212 I see what you did there.

[@ronniestanley75]

Impressive. I look at this stuff and think about the amount of time it takes me, as a hobbyist woodworker, to build a shelf or a cabinet. Then, I think about the time it would take me to do those things using only hand tools. And, it makes his work all the more impressive to me. I have a lot of respect for Roy Underhill and I consider Mr Chickadee the next generation Wood Wright.

[@tropifiori]

That is a really cool joint. 10:44 Very nicely done. Kudos

[@MrChickadee]

Shiribasami tsugi they call that one, I love it

[@TheBearGrylz]

If I have kids and grandkids, I will burden them with checking to see how long mr chickadees buildings stand. I’d bet about 300 years.

[@alexhamon9261]

Largely dependent on how well the roofs get maintained after he's gone.

[@jnsdroid]

How long do you expect your kids and grandkids to live? You'd need at least 4 generations to reach 300 years

[@AvanaVana]

The Hōryū-ji temple in Japan is over 700 years old…given that Mr. Chickadee employs Japanese construction techniques, perhaps his structures can last even longer than 300 years.

[@MadStacks007]

I bet longer than that. His craftsmanship is impeccable

[@alexmax3704]

If taken good care, I’d say even 500. 🌝

[@dylanwilliams7243]

Man, I really love your videos. You do some amazing work out there. Framing, carpentry, furniture making, black smithing, stone work it’s all awesome. Some of the coolest hand tool work I’ve ever seen really. May your endeavors be fruitful.

[@donaldtrabeaux5235]

Absolutely awesome craftsmanship very detailed.

[@hillbillynick2000]

Always a pleasure. Dang strong arch there. The Japanese grasp of engineering has always impressed me.

[@somika87]

Never stop what you're doing!

[@StevenEverett7]

Incredible! Your patience must be inexhaustible!!!

[@rentregagnant]

Beautiful, as always! I particularly loved the final shots - looks like it might stand for hundreds of years.

[@TheBearGrylz]

Yes! Every time a chickadee video comes out, I decide to live another day. Just kidding. But much love, this guy is my idol.

[@sydneyevans2637]

Me too! The precision always knocks me out.

[@doolin-yu7cl]

I know what you are talking about, the guy is amazing

[@drekowski]

Very nicely done. Always enjoyable to watch. The automatic subtitles were fun to read: saw: hm, so, [music], hey, so, yes, [music] chisel: so drill: so, [music] chisel: [music] birds: so hammer: so, so, so birds: so 😀

[@ericmcrory4668]

We love to spend money on the new shiney tools but you show time and again that the old ones with patina work just fine! Love it.

[@TermiteUSA]

Beautiful scarf joint My Chic, you could've been a deep water boat builder. Thanks for showing us your work.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Awesome work Josh, figured it out and Mastered It !!

[@hatedcritic8066]

Wow, loved how you joined the two beams with a key in the middle. What a great morning tea video.

[@MrChickadee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bradymcphail9690]

You are amazing! I’m so proud that their are still true hand skilled craftsmen/women out here. I’m and old school welder/ fabricator, still not as hand skilled, no power, no nails, just precise, highly experienced, knowledge handed down from many generations of very proud Craftsman. Thank you so very much for sharing you knowledge and experience with us

[@fotomoments5311]

[@cheif10thumbs]

So Felipe of the Uruguayan Stuck capslock crew said "GOOD EVENING MR. CHUIKADEE. I REALLY LIKE THE WAY YOU DO YOUR WORK IN WOOD, WITH DUE TIME AND WELL SHARPENED TOOLS. MY REGARDS FROM URUGUAY". Muchas Gracias Felipe!

very welcome!

[@Nobe_Oddy]

Absolutely Beautiful! You are built from a higher stock!

[@michaellee8198]

Without doubt one of the most compelling channels to watch, without the spoken word, The complexity of the joints, allowing the varying wood shapes, is extremely clever. My only complaint - the interlude between episodes.

[@JeffGloverArts]

That's a thing of beauty. Thank you!

[@Vlad-f2q8n]

great job! how beautiful your houses are, the forest, the birds sing, peace and tranquility. Better than any city in the world

[@MrChickadee]

thank you

[@kevintulak9987]

Impressed as always, that is a work of art. I look forward to seeing the whole process on the way to the finished project. Thanks for sharing.

[@pamdemonia]

That's the prettiest chalk line I've ever seen!

[@Granddad92]

Your patience and attention to detail is amazing.

[@nonyabusiness9747]

Excited to see how you lift it, and the entire project come together. I aspire to one day build like you. I am going to start with some smaller oaks for the structure of my wallapini.

[@terryteed1903]

Beautifull. Not a nail or screw or glue. Just Zen. Aaaaahhhhhhh.😌

[@chrisvos2721]

Beautifully executed. Patrick from Idaho

[@tinkerne-round4079]

Good entertainment! Personally I'd have to say "look how I can do ancient craftsmanship with modern tools". I still enjoy watching Mr. Chickadee all the same.

[@tonyc.4528]

Outstanding craftsmanship, sir!!

[@shopcat53]

Been watching you from the beginning of your channel great workmanship!

Magnificent. Thank you for this.

[@kennethvogt9379]

My arm aches from just watching you crosscut that timber with a handsaw. Now I need to take a nap. ;-)

[@andrewbrenner425]

Incredible skill and workmanship. Your videos are some of my favourites on KZbin. Thank you very much for making these videos!

[@jaybeezy5429]

Ever just shoot the hand drill shot, then get the power one, drill it, then switch back. I wouldn't blame you if you did. It's not work if you enjoy it tho. Thanks to you and your wife. I've been watching for years.

[@MrChickadee]

Honestly no, and you know I don't ever really feel the need? I just enjoy the tools and the work, it takes how long it takes.

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Your craftsmanship is incredible. 👍🙂

Very enjoyable watching your skills!

[@nobuckle40]

Very enjoyable to watch. I learn every time I do. Thanks.

[@backyardsounds]

The tree rings look like it went through alternate dry to wet decades. That's really interesting. This was such a great video.

[@MrChickadee]

it grew fast when young, then as the hardwoods grew up around it and shaded it, growth slowed to a crawl and the last 50 rings are so tiny as to be almost one. In yellow pine this makes for extremely hard wood.

[@error_1578]

This is my first time being first on a video that actually gets views. Love you chickadee

[@artursmihelsons415]

Excellent video and amazing job, as always! 👍 Seeing You sawing ends of that timber, remained me one time, when I needed to cut in the half old railroad sleeper with hand saw for garage floor support.. Very hard wood, indeed, these sleepers.. Nice precision and patience! 😉
