Timber Garden

During the winter of 2016 we had an extreme ice storm in Southern Ontario. Heavy layers of ice built up on everything and caused massive trees to come crashing down all around us (footage of that storm in an upcoming video). When you live in a forest, storms like these can be very scary. With continuous freezing rain, the trees are leaning towards our house and after each gust of wind, becoming more and more fragile. Power is out, roads are closed… and all I could think about was what was I going to make with all this fallen timber once spring arrives.
When things seem bad, make them rad. - T.T

I literally can’t stop watching these videos

[@ADadAndHisKids]

Nice build, love the freshly peeled logs and then the next day stained. Of course love your support for all the other makers (Sway & Diresta) and community.

[@TrustinTimber]

Actually I peeled them about 4 weeks before I stained them. You have to peel in spring when the sap is still flowing but they are also very wet at that point. Letting them stay in the sun and wind for a couple weeks is pretty important.

[@JMTosses]

I'm speechless ... you made all of this - including the video (!) - this year? Respect. Thank you!

[@TrustinTimber]

haha, Yeah. Not to mention working a more then full time job. It's all about the hustle.

[@JMTosses]

I couldn't compete with that even if I wanted to. Bob needs to brainpick you urgently. Have you been on the Makercast? Have you been invited to reclaimed audio, yet?

[@TrustinTimber]

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't you're right. Think about that. It's true.

[@JMTosses]

My head hurts - gotta get some sleep - busy day ahead :) Anyway - you made my evening at the hotel - thank you for that!

[@LutherBuilds]

There are no words to describe how cool this video and project is. Every time I watch one of your videos, it's like I'm right there with me. Your videos are relaxing to watch. I've always loved timber framed houses and furniture made from timbers.

[@LutherBuilds]

Right there with you.

[@TrustinTimber]

Cool, thanks Joshua

[@WoodByWright]

HOLY FRIPPING SWEETNESS!!!! I had to watch it 3 times. pure hotness. Thank you for putting this up!

[@TrustinTimber]

Glad you liked it:)

[@raynoladominguez4730]

Very cool. Your videos always bring on a tranquil, optimistic feeling, like a happy zen. This is beautiful, great job.

[@TrustinTimber]

Raynola Dominguez thank you. I try to bring a little of the natural environment into the videos.

[@shoehornking]

That is one of the most timberest places created ever! Cheers!!!

[@BillVanLoo]

Another gorgeous short film by Trustin Timber! Man, your stuff just keeps getting better and better. Thank you for including my music, it's always a thrill to hear it used in one of your videos!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks Bill, It's a pleasure to have your music to edit to.

[@brettdavis5160]

Inspiring. Your shop is so roomy and inviting!

[@TrustinTimber]

My shop is 100sq feet, damp, and cluttered. Hence why I work outside:)

[@Chrisbo40]

Loved the pace of this video. So entertaining.

[@jimmydiresta]

Love the change of pace !! Thank yon for he love!! Incredible!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you for the hat;) Mine is getting gross but Lil Miss Timber's is in mint condition in safe keeping:)

[@utkanf]

Great build and film and edit my friend. Thanks for the all the hard work.

[@louisvilleboardco.2330]

Very beautiful build and well done video. I love the finished look and function.

[@ewhiles]

I loved the edit on this! I especially loved how the music cuts out one speaker at a time when you take off your ear muffs. So clever and brilliant!

[@TrustinTimber]

I was hoping someone would notice:)

[@RichardMartin]

That was so, so cool. With added Tim and some Jimmy speed. Thanks for sharing!

[@HovingtonInstruments]

Amazing job! Great video, or should I say movie;) looks like you have your little piece of heaven with nature all around!

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, it took me a few years to realize what was important in life but I found heaven for sure.

[@1beachdog]

your wife is a nice addition it's nice to see a young couple working together on projects

[@JoeTalaiver]

Extremely well done video and even better result!! Great work! Jimmy Diresta sent me here... :)

[@TrustinTimber]

thanks Jimbo;)

[@DustinSuits]

Another great film. I have yet to be disappointed. Your work is incredible!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks Man, I'll try to never disappoint:)

[@flyifri]

Very nice, I mean this was really nice.! Thank you very much for sharing this with us.! Defiantly a Thumbs Up.!

[@TrustinTimber]

donnyboy thank you

[@Badgerworkshop]

Amazing project. Every job is easier in Diresta time. Love the look of that axe. One day i will build a log cabin.

[@YTcustomchris]

Great Job on the project and fantastic editing on the video. Top notch video

[@HHGdrums]

wow. great job man. cool project. great video style. everything was in point. keep it up, you're going places

[@RedBeardCarpentryWoodworks]

Once again Trustin, the amount of work that goes in too your builds is astonishing. You make me proud to be a Maker!! Btw , that chainsaw gained hp with that new logo,lol!!

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, I'm a sucker for hard work but the extra DIRESTA power sure helps.

One word, WOW!

[@skippyjones2077]

Just AMAZING GREAT WORK you are a true artist... thank you for sharing your time love it....

[@TrustinTimber]

Randy Carey thanks for watching and letting me know you enjoyed it.

[@mikewiebe4598]

Wow man! Truly inspiring. The effort and execution of the project are next level, and then add in the amazing shots and editing, this is a great video!

[@TrustinTimber]

Hearing it's inspiring is my favorite comment. No point in me trying to teach since I'm just figuring it out as I go, but the message should be "anything is possible if you commit to it"

[@cbeers21]

Great video you guys!!! Love the final result...so good!

[@jeffreykuhn1071]

I like everything about this video! Good job Sir!

[@IAmKyleBrown]

So cool! You must have made some amazing Lincoln Log houses growing up

[@frederickhillegas2115]

I just love your imagination oh, you let it go wild love it

[@ellboy667]

Fantastic build.

[@jwolfe122]

Under rated. Your videos are amazing and you have a great ability to turn something that would otherwise rot into amazing pieces of art. You should be very proud of what you've accomplished but never stop chasing the you 5 years from now. I can only hope I can focus on bettering my skills as a craftsman and your videos as well as others like you inspire every creative bone in my body. Keep being you brother.

[@TrustinTimber]

Jake W thank you so much

[@BruceAUlrich]

[@gaboftak]

Izzy swan recommended your channel and Now I know why! great work. Specially I like how You copy that curve from timber to other one...this method am gonna still from You.. :)

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks

[@martasztahura934]

very nice work!

[@sk8nothatt]

Awesome work!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank You

[@phil.pinsky]

Loved this video, bro. It had flashbacks of Dick Proenekke's Alone in the Wilderness for me :) Phil

[@TrustinTimber]

That just wins for best comment. I watch part 1 DVD of Dick Proenekke way to much. My biggest inspiration and one day I'll make my own cabin. This was totally a project just to study the process.

[@theVonThompsons]

Dick had me when he made his own hinges!

[@TrustinTimber]

totally. But for me it was, when he decided to do something he always wanted to do.

[@phil.pinsky]

^^ this

[@theVonThompsons]

I can see that! I have always tended to do what I want...gets me in trouble from time to time, lol

[@Cactusworkshopchannel]

Man this is so beautiful! good job both you and Tim for the intro! The only thing that looks a bit odd to me is the brown finish that right now kind of seems more like "plastic"-ish but weather will do its magic :)) just a brief comment but amazing job!!

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, I know. I wasn't going to use that finish but I started to notice mold and bugs gathering in the test joints within a week. I live in a very moist valley beside a river so I wanted something that was going to really protect it. This stuff doesn't look great but you're right, weather will get me there.

[@starkravinglunatic]

That is a great video, I really enjoyed watching it. I am wondering what the big round heavy thing is? You move it into place at around about the 5min mark in the video! I am about to become a home owner and it looks like I am going to be learning about gardening now too! This was truly an inspirational and well timed video. Thank you!

[@TrustinTimber]

That's an air conditioning fan.

[@neck307]

wow great job bro... love working with wood...

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks

[@SebastiaanMollema]

[@refinedindustrial6503]

Love it!

[@IMDunn-oy9cd]

I watched this video after seeing your name pop up in Kyle Toth's 100K video. I'm glad I did - very interesting work! Not only were you channeling your inner Diresta, I think you may have thrown in a bit of Dick Proenneke as well. I'm going to subscribe and see what else you have put out here for us. Thanks.

[@Deeper7056]

I 'm love this so mutch 👌😍

[@miraguedes9339]

Que mente maravilhosa para arquetitar,e maos poderosas para executar.juntos vocês são completos 👏👏👏 sempre nos alegramos com seus feitos extraordinário 👏👏 um abraço casal lindo dessa brasileira que cada vídeo se apaixona pelos seus talentos 🇧🇷 Deus continue abençoando suas vidas

[@wmwalkerco]

Super duper Job! Was that Poplar? It looked like Poplar until I saw the heartwood then you had me stumped. Great film, dude!

[@TrustinTimber]

haha, same here actually. The trees fell in the winter so I didn't get to see leaves. This forest is primary Poplar and Maple but I think these might be Ash. The wood was pretty hard and very heavy. Does that seem right to you?

[@WoodByWright]

I was wondering the same thing but ash and Maple would be heaver then that. at least I do not think I could lift logs that size out of there. my guess would be elm, but who knows.

[@abefrohman1759]

Awesome

[@byronbuttrill4113]

You should be up there with jimmy diresta and izzy swan. Keep making videos! Your doing it right!

[@byronbuttrill4113]

[@ehaeselich]

Super. Cool. 👍🏾👍🏾

[@adventurefilms]

what did you stain/paint the main logs with, the burnt orange color? is it just deck paint?

[@DonVonGun]

Very nice TT :D

[@jbiggy16able]

Hi there!! Just wondering where you got that bearded lumbering axe and if it's on the pricier side any other suggestions for some one who wants to start woodworking. Thanks Love your videos.

[@TrustinTimber]

Josiah Bigg I bought from an old guy who posted old tools for sale. Got a bunch of stuff for a couple hundred. All needed major refurbishing but it was worth it.

[@basuramanya]

Great Video. Is there any concern that the wood will twist and warp over time?

[@TrustinTimber]

I'm sure it will move a bit as it dries. This was more an experiment in working with logs so that's all part of the test. We'll find out:)
