We’ve Never Built Anything This Complex Before… | Silo Renovation Pt. 11

[@robertroe2555]

Thank you. I've dreamt of a silo home project like that for decades. Still every time I drive by an old silo, I think about it.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Ya we really like these old fieldstone silos because they are built like tanks so we like trying to find a way to bring them back to life for modern use! Thanks for watching!

[@jimmyrk3]

Damn, I am liking that King Post. A great build process yields a great result. The entire roof system is a master builder program. If I was the average of the brothers I would beg you for an apprentice position.

[@eddidrickson5936]

usa carpenters just like Notre Dame cathedral carpenters in France. Geat skills. Congratulations.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you, we appreciate it!

[@LennartKärrman]

You’re doing a great job! It all locks amazing. The only thing that concerns me is you not using hearing protection. Routers, circular saws and all the other machines are loud! You are still young but if you want to be able to hear your future grandchildren. Protect your hearing. ❤

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you! Yes, we often get so focused on our work we often forget about safety precautions but we are working on improving that!

[@bikergirl2000]

And eye and breathing protection too. A decent dust mask will save you from every cold turning into a chest infection because of all the crap in your lungs.

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

That workshop and all your tools are to die for, the size and scale of what you guys are exposed to is to die for, us in the UK can only dream about that !

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thanks! Took a lot of years and hard work to acquire it all but very thankful for what we have and what we’re able to accomplish

[@RelyWavy]

that octagon cut was sweet

[@craigmartin7504]

Brilliant work

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thanks! Took some time designing and building but it was well worth it in the end!

[@overlord5580]

I am really enjoying watching this build. I have never, ever heard of anyone in the construction business call a tenon a tee-non!

[@KenBissell-oq2ns]

Was gonna say the same. Maybe just a thing amongst themselves?

[@overlord5580]

@@KenBissell-oq2ns 👍

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Haha ya we got into a bad habit of calling them that and now we kinda just keep saying it that way for fun, thanks for watching!

[@Nena84734]

You’ve outdone yourselves guys, dang, that’s one gorgeous roof, perfectly formed and executed, outstanding!!!

[@macD723]

I've always considered myself a real good carpenter. Many others have also. But, after watching this, I think it's time to sell all my tools! I just don't have that kind of vision. Maybe if I had plans to work from, I could do it, but it would probably take me forever! When I do a wood working or remodel job, I rely on the customer for the vision. But I just can never see it. I just make what other people see. Great job guys!

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you very much! We sometimes get crazy ideas in our head and have to scrap a lot of them but occasionally we will power through a tough one like this no matter what it takes!

[@coolvinnyb]

Awesome, well done👍

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank for watching!

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

That's some beautiful joinery. As a professional craftsman myself, watching you build jigs to do difficult things makes me smile. It's the sign of someone that really knows what they're doing. And as a Brit, I have to tell you that tenon is pronounced "Ten Un" btw, not "Tee Non", just in case you were wondering 🤣😂

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thanks! Haha yeah we got a lot of heat in the comments about that. We’re not the best with terminology and pronunciation but always willing to learn and get better.

[@johnypitman2368]

you guys are the next gen master craftsmen. From a guy who loves timber frame Ill be looking forward to all of your future projects

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@edwardwarrington1809]

This was a great watch. Your use of jigs and packers was phenomenal. A beautiful design and some spectacular workmanship! Thanks for the video. (From an older guy with tinnitus, you will regret not looking after your hearing. On the other hand, I used ear protection all my life and still got tinnitus :-(. )

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you very much and yes we do have to get better with our PPE, old habits are hard to beat lol

[@RobertSandberg-l1c]

I agree with one of the other comments...brilliant work!

[@gregburdick1641]

Nice content. The joinery is awesome. Also, I love the time lapse shots. You should be wearing proper safety equipment, especially safety glasses. Your shop seems pretty organized. Consider adding some sort of dust collection. Even some sort of portable air filtration a la Frank Howerth would be helpful.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

We do have to work on our safety, old habits die hard, thanks for watching!

[@RobertSandberg-l1c]

I watched this whole thing with absolute awe and fascination. I consider you to be not only incredible carpenters, but also incredibly good at woodworking. I wonder...would the Amish take on such a project?

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you very much! We enjoyed working on this roof even though it was quite the challenge! God bless!

[@garykooienga9990]

Notre Dame's new roof, all timber-framed just like this. A marvel that the original was done centuries ago, entirely with hand tools.

[@talltimberswoodshop7552]

As an old guy who has to wear hearing aids because I didn't protect my hearing when I was your age, I encourage you to protect yours. You will want to hear your grandchildren some day.

[@nickelsey9864]

And eye protection too!

[@johnnichols2710]

Absolutely

[@Crashing310]

As another not so old guy with hearing aids, agree!

[@Astroponicist]

Huh wha dya say there? couldn't hear ya I'm deef. Didn't wear hearing protection in the salmon canary.

[@Astroponicist]

Clear boat epoxy could be used to fill some of those splits especially on the tenons where mechanical forces will be greatest, & I would paint inside the joints with linseed oil fitting them together while the linseed oil is wet to protect from dry rot & termites.

[@didgeridooblue]

Linseed oil prevents termites? I'd wash the area with a borate solution. I also think it's moisture preventive to seal all end grain with shellac.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thanks for the tip! Much appreciated

[@hollyrose1505]

That’s stunning woodworking!

[@loupuleff571]

That's awesome I wish I was there working on it !!

[@robertmccully2792]

I like the reverse jack rafters, cool look.

[@ramirohernandez2052]

That is so cool, you guys are true craftsmen. I do also recommend true masks not just the over the neck handkerchiefs and good hearing protection. You guys are still very young and may shine all this comments, but all of us who have commented on this subject, seems we have gone through that feelings of invincibility, but are now paying the price with lungs disease and hearing loss. Protect yourselves and keep up the good work. Love this content.

[@Laufer13]

I loved watching this - GREAT JOB - but you guys need safety glasses for sure - put them on TODAY

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you and we will definitely improve our safety precautions!

[@hsweeney59]

Amazing design,execution,editing!!! I’d be nice to crane lift that rafter fully assembled You guys are going to have a huge subscription surge this year

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

We were debating building on the ground and craning it up but I think we had more fun assembling piece by piece on top of the silo! Thanks for watching!

[@DumbCarGuy]

I did this stuff back in the late 70 to late 80s when I was your age. I never wore gloves, hearing protection or goggles. Never had an issue. I’m 57 now been a remodeler since the 80s and I still don’t gear up. So don’t worry about the negative comments about how you should be wearing some sort of space suit. While sawing and cutting. Some of us are more confident not wearing all that junk and work safer. So keep up the great work.

[@yummboy2]

Impressive design and carpentry skills. Thanks, I really enjoyed watching the roof frame go together. How did you verify the trueness of the round silo to obtain the overall width dimension?

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thanks! We triple checked the inner and outer diameter dimensions at the bottom of the silo and up at the top cap. It was fairly nice and round considering it was built out of fieldstone and mortar in 1909.

[@ИгорьПолозков-с2б]

Great job. What time is need to complete this project?

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

We’re aiming to have it complete this spring so it can be used and enjoyed this summer. Thanks for watching!

[@SnowTiger45]

I think disassembling it in order to install it is a Bad Idea. I'd hire a Crane or Hire the Local Truss Plant Hiab Truck to install the assembly in one shot. The only thing else I would have done different is I would have cut a bevel on each side of Top Face of the main rafters so the ends of the roof decking don't have any gap at their Ridge Intersections. Ultimately, it won't matter because of the Ridge Cap (if shingled) or Flashing (if steel) at the Main Rafters. As long as those diagonals from the Rafters to the King Post are able to take Tension, the roof should never Squat. But arguably, because it sits up on a knee wall and there are not Ceiling Joists or Collar Ties, it is Laterally Unsupported. So those diagonals have an important job to prevent the roof from squatting and settling, pushing the knee walls outward. IN the END: I like you work. Your mortise and tenon work is nice and tight. No big gaps or anything. PS> I love that chain-type Mortising bit. That's awesome. It's obvious you take pride in your work so good on you.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

Thank you very much and we appreciate all the feedback and the thought you put behind our work, we really enjoy what we do and like to let our work show it but we still have plenty to learn!

[@ericcantrell5205]

Nice Ten-ons!

[@Sailor376also]

The very large hand circular,, never stand directly behind or over it. Same for all hand circulars. All hand circulars are operated from the side,, nominal 90 degrees to the spin of the blade. Make sure the power cord is routed to the side and away from you. I got my first jobs because of hand circulars,, killing or maiming the guy I replaced. The lesson was never lost on me. You are young. I'd like to see you get old.

Didn't see how the secondary rafter headers were secured to the primaries. I assume with screws.

We did use lag bolts to secure those together once we assembled it on top of the silo! Thanks for watching!

[@samadrid6321]

Stereotomy Impressive

[@John-dp8oh]

Very impressive but would like more details on how they worked out all of the angles.

[@Worzalla_Brothers]

To be honest it was a mixture of test cuts for the complicated angles but for the most part they were 22.5 degree angles because it’s an octagon. And the roof we went with a 30 degree angle

[@stefanichim9342]

What about the b8g crack in the key post!? Will it have any bearing on the future of the roof. Will it cause any problems down the road?
