I would have to say that yes it was apparent that you did not know what you were doing, because their were definitely other ways that you could have accomplished this that would have taken less time, and possibly effort. That being said, what is apparent is that you know ropes, and clearly you have climbing experience. It is important that you stay in your wheel house some when you are doing new things, this was a safe enough alternative and I never worried that you would end up under one of those timbers, so job well done. Always remember that with a myriad ways of accomplishing a task it is best to stay in your comfort zone when you can to finish a job. Enjoying the build so far, keep up the good work.

Pretty cool videos, brother! I've done a lot of rigging, doing line clearance tree surgery, and other line work for 30+ years, as well as, power plant construction, and other types, too, and I've used set ups such as yours using only ropes to do a heavy lift, or to lower huge items, but I'll tell you, and you may know it already: block and tackle is the most effective way to to do heavy lifts by yourself, or with limited numbers of folks. Mechanical advantages, and learning how to use those, is one of the coolest things anyone can learn! Love the videos, brother! Thanks for sharing!!
@NicTaylorWoodworking3 жыл бұрын
This was my first time rigging anything other than a person, so I’ve got a lot to learn. When we’re climbing we typically don’t have block and tackle gear which is why I went this route. I really liked the idea of trying to raise the frame with my knowledge and gear from the climbing world. That being said; SO MUCH FRICTION. If I were to do this again (or more frequently) I would definitely be investing in a high quality block and tackle. Thanks for the advice and for checking out the video!
@j.b.87673 жыл бұрын
@@NicTaylorWoodworking You showed great resourcefulness and intelligence in the way you set up your lines, especially being your first time doing so, using only your previous climbing experience to do so! Great job! Good thinking on using block and tackle in the future, though, because it is a much safer strategy, and less wear and tear on your body, getting that extra mechanical advantage of those tools. Just make sure you get a quality set, and change the rope out to something with a higher breaking strength than what it'll probably come with stock. Safety first, brother, as you know, already!

@@NicTaylorWoodworking Here are a few knots which can very very useful, aside from the bowline and running bowline, which as a climber you already know: bowline on a bight, which is great for really heavy lifts, because you are able to easily "unlock" the knot after using it, with the very important advantage of not damaging the nylon rope fibers (as is done when the rope gets bound and twisted by a heavy load); a tautline hitch, which you can make one handed, and it serves to hold, to "lock", your load in place, as you work to reconfigure your lines on a heavy lift. It is also used in climbing, as well, and is just a VERY useful knot, for a variety of reasons; a half hitch in front of a clove hitch, with a half-hitch "keeper" on top, to keep the knot from slipping; and a truckers hitch, which is a simple knot that is an even better solution for lifting, and securing heavy loads, (as long as it isn't the only line), than your ingenious improvisational set up here. These knots are really great knots to know! I bet you can find videos here on YT to help you learn them! Keep up the good work! I will be glad to follow you on your journey here on YT, and point out tips which may be helpful, from time to time, as I see that they may be useful. Blessings, young man!

It was very common using a mallet that size for construction in the "old" days. My family had a couple different types, one akin to Nic's and one for laying down stones. I have no idea if they had used them or they were just heirlooms. By the way, it's all about weight; you didn't have a mallet with a metal head, so if it was made out of wood it had to be huge! (Edit: I actually thought that Nic really needed to make a bigger mallet, when I saw him using the axe to hammer in those pegs in the first couple of videos. Then he made the rough round mallet, which is very fine, and then finally came the big one! Great!)

Why did you opt to not use any power tools?
@NicTaylorWoodworking3 жыл бұрын
Lots of reasons, but mostly I just enjoy hand tools more than power tools.

I think you lost some efficiency using dinamic ropes. In norway they are using the same techniques that you using to put roof beams but they use steps on the ramp so it cannot slide off, I think you used microtraction so it can t fall

I actually only used static ropes for the raising, but the whole system was definitely not very efficient. It was a fun experiment, but I would do things much different next time. I’ve seen the stepped ramps, I was worried I wouldn't be able to generate enough strength to pull the logs over each step. probably because everything was so inefficient, haha. The assisted locking mechanism i used is called a GriGri. We use them in climbing. Thanks for checking out the video!

The definition of a "machine" is "A device that applies force, changes the direction of a force, or changes the strength of a force, in order to perform a task, generally involving work done on a load." Is this not using machines? Still interesting to watch, but clearly you are changing the direction and strength of a force (ie manpower) to perform a task. Right? Maybe the right word would be machinery? Just curious.

If you have $1000 in climbing gear you can save $50 and not buy a come along winch.
