Slaying Some Big Timber To Build A Boardwalk Off-Grid!!!

[@lbeau061]

That pause to look at the sunset was spot on!

[@Rochesterhome]

Majestically beautiful. What a creation God gave us.

[@willvenable4274]

This place is absolutely gorgeous. I'm loving this series so much!

[@gordonagent7037]

When I first watched this video (first time subscriber) I thought that this guy is way over the top....it's just a boardwalk but then as I watched on I realised that this guy is in the middle of nature, which is always so beautiful, so it is only right that if he is about to alter the landscape then it should be the very best it can be.....and the level of skill you bring Sir is indeed a perfect blend. I will now spend my saturday going back through your videos and see what you are all about. Well done, this is truly splendid craftsmanship and in years to come, and it has aged into nature, others will have the pleasure of admiring your work.

[@jnyates]

Absolute art! I love it. Imagine driving by on a boat thinking somebody is hacking something together out of pallet wood and see this craftsmanship. This place will be a tourist attraction on the lake.

[@tomholm4456]

AMEN. and THANK YOU.

[@MrDCentertainment]

I've been watching your videos for 5 maybe even closer to 6 years at this point. and I LOVE how much craftsmanship you put into the smallest stuff. always true to the craft. Keep up the great work. can't wait to see the end product of this off grid home.

What a picturesque place to do great woodworking. Respect.👍👍👍

Always a pleasure to see good workmanship.

If they can’t appreciate the magnitude of it just yet you’re going to be legendary in the eyes of your kids and future grandkids. One day they’ll be sitting around the fire saying my grand dad built all this by hand by himself!!

Hopefully great great grandchildren

[@elizdecabeth1305]

What a spectacular location. Your workmanship and design is so beautiful. I have been following you for many years and I am always amazed with what you come up with. From the beautiful flower urn,to the granite sink,to the jewelry box for your wife. So amazing. Thanks for sharing your talent,and I really enjoy your upbeat aditude.

[@wirefeed3419]

Fantastic start to the boardwalk amazing craftsmanship . Beautiful lake and area you are very fortunate having the coastal wet there are no forest fires unlike most of the interior of the province being decimated. I couldn’t believe actually being able to see the mountains and sunset for the first time in over a month.

[@corn0717]

I wish I could be there helping or better yet, across the lake getting my own place going. Loved your motivational moment last video about guys needing things like this in their lives to keep them right. I'm trying Brother, I'm trying..........

Times are tough and I wish I could pack my tools and run to a place like this and live MY life. Peace man

That is resourceful! Finding just the perfect piece of cedar that you need in the burn pile. Few people can see the tie beam they need in a little ole rough scrub tree. Then proudly put it on display for all to see.

[@MOUTHonesixtyseven]

pretty mf boss

[@JiggsysShed]

Love watching you work and would love to be there where you are, the scenery is absolutely stunning

[@robertwilliams8974]

Beautiful property Jesse! Hope you and your family have many great times there. When you and the missus are old and grey, you can sit on the porch and cherish the memories. Cheers, Rob. P,S. your concrete formwork was very good. (Hot tip, grasshopper.........it is good to keep concrete wet for at least 7 days to allow it to cure properly. This adds to its' strength.)

I’ve been following the Samurai for years now and always loved his thorough approach with Japanese precision and style. If only he would go off-grid and build a cabin for his own. Oh. Wait. And a am happy! Well done! So far so good. Now THAT’s a boardwalk!

[@horatio71]

Hi SC, have been following your videos for quite some time here on YT and really enjoy the level of craftsmanship you are putting into the work. I'm Swedish and it seems we have a similar climate to yours, if I remember correctly you are in the Vancouver area. We have an old farm in Sweden which is located right by a sweet-water lake and over the decades have gained a bit of experience with wood structures and piers close to water. In the 90s we built a hanging pier, i.e. 9m (approx. 30 ft) steal I-beams that were cemented 5m on land and left hanging 4m over the lake. The point was not to have any structure in the water since the winter ice is ruthless and smashes everything over time. We used 3 I-Beams which we spaced 80cm apart which gave us a total width of 3 meters with overhang on either side for the pier. As decking we used pressure treated lumber. Today I would probably prefer Ipe or Balau decking instead, but it has now been 30 years and it is holding up perfectly. Before that we had to rebuild the piers ever 3-5 years. Not sure if this is the right thing for you since I would imagine handling long I-beams might be challenging in your off grid location, but maybe a modified version might be useful. Just wanted to give you a bit of helpful thoughts. Keep up the great videos and enjoy the journey. Best John

[@thegreatgazoo]

This is fantastic! Maybe should have put a membrane under the posts so that water doesn't wick up into them from the concrete? That is open end grain there.... This makes me miss my cabin over on Powell Lake so much. Powell River (qathet) is just as beautiful as this.

[@Lincoln_Hawk]

Love this series.

[@MarkNiceyard]

That sundown is marvelous but to also have a look at the decking would have been good, too.

[@greg76543210]

Loving this series/content. Can’t wait to see it progress.

[@1911wood]

Concrete piers looked pretty good. Chamfer at the top was nice. I recommend you do the same for the vertical corners on future columns/piers that might be visible. If you look at your vertical corners you will see rocks blocked the flow of the fines so they look porous and inconsistent. A chamfer on the corner will fill much better. Not only will it look nicer, it will resist any impact better.

[@antonoat]

Looks like a piece of heaven on earth ! Amazing work as always.

[@frantiseksram9741]

I know you're well past this point now, but to make parallel mortises when you don't have a straight edge, snap a line down the center of the board and work from that to lay them out. Love your work and the location you get to do it in!

Take a rubbing stone and wet the concrete and start "wax on/wax off" creating a slurry that looks like stucko when hardened. Works best right when it's just out of the forms and still green, the older it gets before you rub it, the harder and longer you have to rub.
