Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 64 Roundwood Timber Frame Roof Support

For the last week we have been working on this roundwood timber frame. it sits in the middle of the building and acts as roof support and give a large area in the middle of the workshop to raise a van in to. it involved a lot of techniques i have not used before and so far it is all working great.

Me: Struggling with a flat pack kitchen. Kris: Just casually building an entire town with his bare hands and insane joinery skills Top man. I'm in absolute awe.

It’s great! My shed has been completed and it turned out nice looking and sturdy and it is way better than the sheds that many of my neighbors had put up. Of course, I'm pleased with the outcome and this Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans was extremely useful to me as a guide.

Oh my Gosh! You have accomplished so much, in less than four years!No mortgage! Pretty neat!!😀👌You know, Jesus , started off as a carpenter! Great things ahead for you!

[@bowboysam]

So, a round peg into a square hole works, nice. 👍👍😁😁

[@ianwidger7905]

I have just seen you hold a peace of wood with your hand to prevent split out while drilling a hole for a peg. If you do that often enough you will drill a hole in your hand or worse. How do I know, because I’ve done it! I was doing just what you were doing except I was alone at sea in a boat. The wood I was holding split and the 1/2 inch drill bit found the palm of my hand. I wish it just when straight through, but it didn’t, it got hold of the small bones in my hand and twisted my wrist in a way that caused the bit to put itself up into my wrist. I can tell you that will make your eyes water. The bit was now stuck and my hand was pined to the wood I was working on. I was alone an bleeding badly. It was really hard to think straight in the moment so the only thing I could think of was to put the drill into revers a slowly spin it out of my hand. Thankfully I had a very good first aid kit on the boat and was able to stop the bleeding. I made passage to shore and then to hospital. In the end I was fortunate to got back the full use of my hand. I am very very lucky. Why tell you this. It should be obvious, DON’T DO IT. instead think up a way that will show people like me how to avoid this mistake. The surgeon who worked on my had told me I wasn’t the first person he had to work on and sadly he expected to do many more surgeries on hands with holes drilled in them. Hope this is useful and not seen as negative.

[@ricos1497]

Christ that sounds sore! Kris can obviously please himself, but your comment is useful for folks like me who would totally do that move rather than reach for the obvious solution of a couple of clamps to hold the sacrificial piece in place! I'll think twice about it next time I'm in the situation.

[@cjewell8444]

That was an extremely detailed comment, I felt every moment of in my hand. 😮 I cant even imagine.

@@ianwidger7905 actually yes I did, I just put it in reverse, bit down on a chunk of 2x4 and pulled the trigger.... the thing was i was setting up batter boards and talking to a helper...... so it went through the corner of the 2x and into my knuckle...

[@wolfe1970]

One of my favorite parts of my job was making jigs when you are making the same thing constantly, or even needing 20 of the same, its worthy of a jig, those logs look great, nice to be working with some decent timber

[@ServiceTrek]

yeah, the jig looks like it worked well. maybe some kind of screw clamps could be added to secure the logs in place before making the cuts.

[@wolfe1970]

@@ServiceTrek Yes, and go one step further and whilst the logs are secure you could also cut the shoulders so you know they are parallel with each end, you could pretty much do the whole log in a jig so all cuts line up with the rest, Ive always said prep work is the most important step in any kind of work

[@salimufari]

These are the videos I am personally here for. Exploratory learning with experimentation & mostly for the order of operations. Knowing most of the steps but not so much the order to do them is daunting at least. The Chain Mortiser when used right is a joy to use & gives nearly final fit cuts. Minor pearing cuts to finish out the mortise.

Amazing video Kris. Perfectly timed too as I am about to take on my first round wood framing job. To be honest your channel has been a great inspiration for us to make the jump. We are now loving off grid in west Clare. Keep up the vids mate they are awesome!

[@peterellis4262]

This is so incredibly helpful! I had knocked together a quick and dirty version of the box jig for getting the tenons marked and you've confirmed for me that I was on the right track. The fact that the brace came out looking right also helped ;) Now I need to get with it and make a durable, accurate version of both jigs. I've got thirty two wind braces to place in our frame ;)
