Round Wood Timber Framing, building with Pine Logs

[@johnlargent9630]

Josh, master of the "Electric Slick". Good job!

[@shartne]

Are the logs concreted into the ground? Here we have termites and everything thats wood cannot touch the ground.

[@johnchase4408]

Levitation

[@Mark-xt8jp]

The logs had about 6 inches of gravel under them and the ground there is very sandy and drains well. But filling around the log with road base works better than concrete for drainage, assuming it's not poorly draining soil. We dug down about 42", put in gravel and then 3' of post.

A sharp or a new chain would do wonders

[@Downeastwaves]

Now that looks real sturdy!

[@AnxiousCowboy]

Why do some people build with round timbers and other split the wood to remove pith? Trying to learn and have a bunch of round wood that people are telling me I need to split before it gets cracked and ruined? Or is there a way to store rounds so this doesn’t happen?

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

All wood is going to check / split as it dries out. The best thing to do is know what you are going to build and then cut and prep your wood for your project. It may mean you have to cut your lumber over size and let it dry and then come back and recut it to the dementions you need for the project.

[@AnxiousCowboy]

@@EssentialMountainHomesteading so am I understanding correctly the checking is fine if you’re keeping it as round wood and using as such… but not so much if you are storing the round wood stock to eventually be cut into boards?

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

I think checking is fine in all wood and I think cutting your round trees into boards is a good way to help it dry sooner.

[@greglewis5365]

Is eye protection available? Why run the digger faster then an idle to lift a log? Noisy and wastes fuel it seems.

[@johnyb9884]

Look forward to seeing your videos, Josh. Would appreciate a little info on what we’re about to see. Is this your property? Is that the owner? Are we watching you guys build a barn? Are these your employees? Are you guys working in Utah or Idaho?

[@k.cashman427]

My thoughts exactly. What gives Yukon Cornelius?

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

Man, that's a lot of questions.

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

K, If you call me "Yukon Cornelius" one more time I'm going to give you a high five!

[@k.cashman427]

@@EssentialMountainHomesteading HA! Too funny! Hey, thanks always for the videos!

[@breunorboi]

The rest of us were there to learn how to work with roundwood, we were repairing a berm shed, essentially a lean-to with a waterproof roof and earth on the back so it's just a hill from the road. So he was teaching total novices the ropes and we were learning as we worked.

[@travisjae1775]

Loved the video, what type of chain saw are you using?

[@shawnhall2841]

Sorry...but I'm pretty sure that's Dustin Diamonds son.

[@stuartrinker]

Man that’s cool. We need more info. Can’t let the wife see this. I would be working on this until I die.

[@shawnleach8726]

Please tell me the super on that job isn't gunther

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Great video, Josh! I really liked it! Who is the Bird Dog? (owner/architect/engineer?) ;-) That's going to be an interesting structure! #KeepTheChipFlying!

[@CH-so8tn]

I have an extra box of safety glasses. Let me know where I can send them.

[@rogerwixom759]

video is great and so is the music

[@Devin82m]

Are these classes we can sign up for? Cool video.

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

We may look at doing something like that in the future but we don't have anything on the calendar currently.

[@mark1952able]

Chain saws hate that pine sap...

[@moderndimension9632]

I think this is older footage. I would have to guess Montana. As for some of the work crew standing around, they could be volunteer type labor. Still good video. Thank you Josh.

[@breunorboi]

Yeah it was a training course in Montana, the rest of us had not done this before so we're learning it for the first time. It took place in October 2018.

[@RenaissanceThinking]

Precision chainsaw carpentry for the win.

[@beachlife1411]

Nice work

[@PonzooonTheGreat]

Holy hell, my friend sent me this video because I look EXACTLY like the young guy. Glasses, hair and everything.

[@banjobenson9348]

looks like a man cave for heavy beer drinking, or a livestock enclosure ,..

[@johnchase4408]

Probably both. Who knows what these guys are up to?

[@breunorboi]

I was one of the guys, we were all there learning roundwood timber framing, and we were repairing and rebuilding a berm shed, sort of a lean-to that had earth on the back side so you just see a hill from the road.

[@leoruocco9128]

I AM SURE GLAD THAT ALL OF THOSE GUYS STANDING AROUND AREN'T ON MY PAY ROLL LOL

[@Mark-xt8jp]

It was actually a class, only one of us there had any experience.

[@douglaspohl1827]

Here is a recent build over here on the coast kzbin.info/www/bejne/qITZo5dpfbZjhck and a few years ago kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6LRdIyql8mkqdE Saw this Chain Saw HACK which might be of interest kzbin.info/www/bejne/nF6ok6WvnpqgZsk

[@gregorhay7351]

🤘💪🙂👍

[@TheCanadianBubba]

Hope you are the one getting paid, cause there aint much getting put out by the other fellows !

[@breunorboi]

It was a training course that he was running, I was one of the other guys in the video. We were repairing the berm shed on the property and learning some skills.

[@332jatc]

Trying to make him feel uncomfortable while he makes minimum wage LOL
