Some very high level of skill, craftsmanship and concentration. Why were the sill posts scribed overtop the stones and not fastened in any way? They could slip under the stress of a storm. Or is that a proven over time traditional Japanese architecture? Amazing how those hand chiseled tenons all fit together. Thanks!
Собираю похожий стол-верстак, но без клея и стального элемента для тисков ( винта и гайки), обойтись не удалось. Респект мастеру, хорошая работа. Вы вдохновляете своим мастерством!
Hello I'm currently designing a building with the aim to use no/as little concrete and was wondering if you reckon your method of connecting the timber column to the stone foundation via a metal rid would work in a stone wall that was already made and mortared together, ie. picking out a stone along the wall and then implementing your method (In practical terms I can imagine it would be a bit of a nuisance to hold the column above the stone but in theory would the stone wall be able to support the load). Another thing I am curious about is there a specific type of stone that works best ie. metamorphic/sedimentary/igneous rock.
Boy, it's really easy to get lost in life's troubles. I asked you about your favorite saw on Instagram today, and long story short, your reply brought me back to this video. I found you a long time ago before my wife and I embarked on our homestead lifestyle, and I watched all of your videos back then. I still follow you on all platforms, but I've been disconnected for years. We're off grid now and doing well......but I have completely lost sight of what my vision was. This has brought me back to it. Iron truly does sharpen iron. Thank you, sir. Keep up the vision...
This is a beautiful little bed. I have a question, @Mr. Chickadee. I notice that all of your “pins” are inserted from the top down, but for one on each side of the footboard. Why are those two inserted in a bottom up direction?
Very nice. An interesting amalgamation of eras in hand tool woodworking. Cut nails and clinched wrought nails, a wooden plane and a steel plane, egg beater drill but with a center bit, a “modern” claw hammer and a hewing hatchet instead of a bow saw. Resourceful and reverent of old techniques. Like Matthias Wandel, Eric Sloane, and Roy Underhill all at once.
So awesome. Do you need a specific soil type to be able to do this? Wanting to build a cabin with stone footings like this but it's sited next a creek (in some cases maybe even in it).. The soil is pretty sandy too, so am a bit worried about erosion. Thinking I could dig further and really bed the stones in?
Just like the sixty year-old chair I'm sitting on, which was made by my father when he was fourteen, along with a woven-willlow stool. Back then, boys were expected to master this skill before leaving school. beautifully done.
