Thanks for posting/sharing, for whatever it's worth, i had a book on timber framing, that talked about how after the mortise was made with the hole for the peg, a scrap peice was interested in the mortise and the drill was inserted in the peg hole until it touched the scrap tenon, where the drill bit touched the scrap tenon this was measured, the the hole on the real tenon was drilled closer to the shoulder by a 1/4 inch ro more, so upon assembly the joint was drawn tighter together, most of the readers know this but it may be new to others, take care friends.

Loveing these videos and the excellent work you are doing! The timber structure of such an old home has always amazed me at how can it still be sound and strong after all the wars in Germany? Absolutely astonishing engineering!

Hi, Mr. Matthias. I would like to thank you for your interesting videos, I think they are wonderful. At first I found your videos about fixing fachwerk house. I'm from Lithuania and in our city Klaipėda (and some other places) we have fachwerk haus buildings which were left here by Germans and these buildings fascinates me since I first saw them. The way you fix them in old fashioned way is interesting to watch. Then I watched your other videos and understood what a great knowledge and skills you have. About woodworking, about old machinery etc. I hope you will make more interesting videos and share your knowledge with other people. Best wishes for your future

So I think it is super interesting that your lapped tenons so strongly date your building. We are so used to the housed tenons method, because it totally took over as an invention. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful adventures.

Excellent videos! The wedged post base is a brilliant solution to replacing a timberframe post! The dovetailed brace is problematic to my mind. Compression force on a brace would tend to push in the opposite direction of the strength of a dovetailed member. I don't really see where the base of the post would endure any side force to make the work of dovetailing necessary.

Very interesting video! My uncle recently finished restoring an old building that had been used as a shed for livestock and storage. It wasn't quite as old as the building you're working on, but it was still old. I think around 1750 - 1800. He got financial support from the government to restore it using old techniques, and materials harvested from the island that the building stood on. Is it possible to get financial support from the government to do stuff like this in Germany? I'm from Norway by the way.
@matthiasburger231510 жыл бұрын
It is possible to get financial support, but that ist limited only to repairing the existing structure und there only half of what it costs more than a "normal" repair in any house. And If you do the work by yourself, it is a bit difficult. For what is shown in the video, I couldn't get support anyway, but maybe I will for some other parts.
@stygn10 жыл бұрын
Matthias Burger But could you have gotten support if you didn't use power tools? Like the chainsaw? My uncle and the people he employed through the project was using old techniques, and old tools. But the work itself seems really similar. Replacing old and damaged wood with new wood. It's basically what they did as well. And of course, as you say, the financial support didn't cover the entire budget, but he was able to employ 1 person more or less full time (he was the woodworking specialist) and other people part time, like a masonry specialist, and a paint specialist (they even used ox blood in one of the paints. It's illegal to use it normally, but since it was a restoration project it was allowed.)
@matthiasburger231510 жыл бұрын
stygn The "Landesamt für Denkmalpflege" which does or does not give you support here doesn't care much about the type of your saw. Restoration has to be fitting to the existing structure in functional aspects, but making new parts look exactly as if they were old isn't the intention. Doing this and especially by using all the old methods is more like a museal project and not seen als conservation.
@stygn10 жыл бұрын
Matthias Burger I see. Well yes, it wasn't mainly a conservation effort to restore the usability of the building, but more a work to preserve cultural heritage, and thus the use of old methods was needed to give the project and building the "soul" it needed to be viewed as cultural heritage. The building was beyond repair simple repair, and was basically rebuilt, so I understand the difference your talking about. Well, really interesting video, and I'm looking forward to your future videos : )

Was a wood preservative being applied to the timber just before assembly or only a stain? How is the preservation or stain made? What prevents termites from eating the timbers? Is oak a better framing material than pine? Is there a guide to indicate what wood is preferred for which application?
@julianadams57538 жыл бұрын
What kind of wood was used in the framing of the timber-framed houses of, say, Germany? I've always wondered if rotting of the timbers would be a problem, although I've never seen any evidence of any in those beautiful, old houses.
@ingridchristiansen43675 жыл бұрын
Oak, protected with tar. And the wood MUST be allowed to dry. So do not seal it. When cladding of slate is used, a space for ventilation is essential. Otherwise you get dryrot and the timbers get spongy and decays.

Balloon framing and then later stick framing. However, "replace" would be the wrong word to use for the Germans because timber framing has not been replaced there as they still use it frequently in Southern Germany.

Nice to see this kind of restoration being done step by step. Must take ages to measure and mark up for that first beam! What is the reason for the dovetail on that brace towards the end? I would have thought it was unnecessary as it is under compression, not tension, but I have seen it on another building in Germany too, is that typical in this situation?
@matthiasburger23158 жыл бұрын
Yes, it's typical. If the top plate is pushed sideways, the brace on one side will pull out of the joint.

Paused @ 2:36 to learn some German words. Too bad their respective definite articles were not included. E.g. Is the bottom beam called der Schwelle, die Schwelle, or das Schwelle? OK, one visit (and a bunch of typing and mousing) to De-En Beolingus says it's die Schwelle.
@j.zingler67357 жыл бұрын
We have three articles in German, der = male, die = female, das = neutral, And yes, right,it is die Schwelle.
@doubledarefan7 жыл бұрын
I was already aware of the 3 articles and what thy mean. The issue was what gender are each of the nouns. Decided now to get the respective articles for the rest of the nouns: (from dict.tu-chemnitz.de/deutsch-englisch/ ) der Ständer - the stand. der holz-nägel - wooden nail. das Flechtwerk - the wattle. die Strebe - the stay. das Rähm - the plate. die Anblattung - the halving. Nothing available for Brustriegel.
@j.zingler67357 жыл бұрын
That's complicated. There is no gender in German grammar. The old latin rule for it is: sexus is NOT genus. Meaning, the obvious sex ist not the grammar sex. Example Mädchen (girl) seems female, but the article is das= neutral. And Holznägel, ok das Holz, neutral, (wood), die Nägel (nails), plural, female, singular der Nagel male. Combined der Holznagel, singular male article, die Holznägel, plural female article. So, with combined words the end of the new word decides about the article and there are different sexes of articles for singular and plural forms of a word. For Holznagel it is like the most important thing is the nail and wood is used like an adjective but combined in a new word. In englisch that would be a wooden nail but I think woodnail is quite uncommon while woodbridge for example is not so uncommon.
