You can definitely tell Dad is real proud of you and he has all the right to be I don't think you give yourself enough credit you're very talented. You're a go-getter you're not lazy you're just a good all-around guy. Keep up the work stay safe from Missouri
Your dad looks so excited when he came out to see the progress. It's awesome having that kind of support and oh by the way you're my favorite channel on RU-vid now
Dad is very mild mannered. He was clearly impressed with your progress as he should be. You are making a beautiful home. Looking forward to next weekend. See you then.
Very cool to see Pop's hangin' with the kid! I just lost my Mom, so it really hits home to realize the need to make time to share life with your folks, cool that you are taking advantage of the opportunity to put some great memories in the mind bank!
Seriously... gotta do SOMETHING while you're here... might as well rip lumber. In the end you'll end up with something REALLY NICE. Some day you might only be able to rock on the porch... sipping grewl... and you'll be so grateful for all the work you're doing now. 🪑🛏🥣🧓🦯 A time for every season.
Hi RW, I'm a 73 years old man who successfully loves repairing all sorts of things, here is a suggestion to easily clean your sap clogged blades : ethyl alcohol (ethanol) at least 70% which, I found through years, is the best solvent for the sap ! It's good for all sorts of blades, hacksaws, axes, trimmers etc. ! Say hi to your dad, he seems so proud of you and it shows !
Watching your dad light up like a Christmas tree after he has seen all the progress you have made, truly makes this video incredible. this is exactly why I am addicted to this channel. You truly are an inspiration and I can’t wait to be able to do this myself one day. Keep being you brother! 💪🏼
Beautiful colors in the trees, love the fall. Who says you have to be a professional to teach? You explain it in plain language, thank you. The siding turned out amazing. You are living your life your way. Envy you. It's really going to be a nice, warm cabin for your winters there. Be careful, God bless!
GOD but you talk.... A LOT !!! But PLEASE DO NOT STOP... It makes your videos so interesting and entertaining - AND INFORMATIVE... BTW the building is looking DAMN GOOD...
Dad was really PROUD of you! I love that. Hey, just a real easy and cheap idea for rain-proofing... Get a tube of the cheapest 100% silicone caulk you can find. Mix that 50-50 with 'Naphtha'. Now take that jacket you were wearing today, and brush that mixture on it. Soak it. Then hang it up and let it dry and cure. When you are done you'll have a 100% waterproof jacket that doesn't weigh a ton, and that moves just as easily as the original jacket. Probably won't 'breathe as well. LOL But if waterproof is what you are going for, it actually works, and feels good in the wearing of it. Not restricting, like beeswax mixtures can do. (The original 'tin cloth'.) A better starting point might be a really lightweight, (oversize by a couple sizes), nylon windbreaker with a hood, from goodwill. Then you can just toss that over anything else you might wear. 300 dollar rain jacket for the cost of an old jacket and maybe 20 bucks in materials...
The King of the Ring will be in a functioning mini home this winter? Inconceivable!! Congrats the place looks fantastic and the choice to bevel the edges was a stroke of genius. Your dad looked impressed which was nice to see. Hope you get this buttoned up before the onset of winter.
Made me smile to see your Dad working with you. Brought back alot of memories building remodeling with my dad. I was 10 years old when we built our first split level house.
That chamfered edge really looks nice. I wonder if you couldn't find a laser line projector instead of all the chalk lines. Might be hard to keep everything registered while you're ripping. Those narrow kerf ripping blades are amazing.
Awesome... beautiful work and your dad is so sweet. He is living vicariously through you. I think he was looking for his bunk placement when you're back was turned 🙃
man your dad is super cool . nice he come helped you with that long side with the wrap . looks great with the window . going to be nice and warm when its all closed in for sure . no more worry about you being frozen . dont want to see a life time movie . Ring Worm the Ryan such & such story . just saying . im definitely one of the watchers who just enjoy you building things im to old to think hey lets move to the woods and live in a tent clear up north in the woods where no one can find me lol . hey work safe buddy no more router accidents . see ya next week end .
Gday again Ringy, got a suggestion for you in regards to cutting your siding. Only chalk one edge. Cut it. Do a pile, then put the little black guide that came with that saw on, and cut the rest of the other sides using the guide, should save you a heap of time Bra.
Beautiful job Worm! You do amazing work and are very talented 👍 Your winter home is going to be so Cozy Warm for you! The Cedar is definitely the right choice. Hope you have enough for the inside👍 Sure hope the weather holds out for you! Hardly wait for next video👍 B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Maybe you could make a removable roof for your tent platform so you can keep the snow off your tents? Then you can take it off when it's summer or not snowing and you wanna see the stars. :)
Awesome that your dad came by to help, nice to see him on film of course! Brother, you really should consider a wood burner for your heat. It'll make your propane go that much further, and even as cheap,stingy and miserly that you are, you make enough scrap that a wood stove makes a lot of sense.
Hey. Longtime subscriber…. Don’t ya love spending time with Dad .. enjoy the time. I don’t have that privilege. Thanks for sharing. See ya next Saturday …. Thanks again. Craig Pa
Well done. It looks amazing! Thank you for sharing your builds with all of us. Looking forward seeing your progress as the cabin continues along. Peace!
Obviously there are a thousand tools to make life simple & time effective. Install a fence on your sawhorses for the saw and just clamp each board down. That way you don't have to take time to follow a line. Line up the marks on the board your cutting at each end and cut. No chalk, no slowly following your cut on the chalk line, and you will save massive time to do more work while your weather is permitting progress. Spend a half hour to save days.... Few screws, few boards, and a few clamps and your golden. Your fence will (since your cutting 3/4" boards) will be set 3/4" higher than the board you attach to lay each board you intend to cut. I tried to consider your available materials and I think it would work for you. You will have a ton more wood to rip going forward and you could set up a table like this easily/quickly. Nice progress bro... I appreciate the content!
Hello from the Netherlands . Ryan I don't mean anything bad by it, just a stupid question : if you put the circular saw at a little angle, wouldn't you also get a suitable bevel in ONE action to be able to put seallant on ? that would save you a lot of extra router work . thanks for the video Ryan . Sincerely, Hollandduck
Our foreman at work was a A-hole on 3rd shift, so my buddy put blue chalk in his air vents of his truck in the winter. Seeing that blue Smurf at the stop light was hilarious 😂😂
So great to see you and your dad working together on your build. He was beaming with pride. Reminded me of working with my dad at the farm and later on in his shop when he was still alive. Thanks for sharing this time with your dad it was great to watch and reminded me of my dad. 😊
You might also consider a shiplap edge though you might need a more powerful router to make it happen. When installed properly, the exposed edge overlaps the board below -- keeps the water diverted to the outside. As the green wood dries, it shrinks across the width but *not* across the length . . . and the shiplap is sufficient to make sure the wall remains covered = no caulking needed. Nailing pattern matters too so that board edges don't curve away from the studs. As you look at the end grain, you can visualize how the board will try to wrap itself back around the tree . . . so you want that crown to the outside to keep the shiplap overlaps tighter. :)
New sub. Well new again. RU-vid unsubbed me @ some point. Anyway i wanna say this video spoke to me. I have been collecting stuff for a cabin build some day. I got a ton of lumber milled from pines from my family farm, kitchen cabinets, and windows. I cant wait to get building. Great video.
I would have liked to see you build a sod house in the middle of the Llano. Keep it warm with buffalo chips. By the way your dad looked super impressed. You put "This Old House" to shame, and they have to go by code.
Stash you trimmed edges , you have a planer now . What do you think of planing 3/8 or so pieces to fit between the siding after the shrinkage for less caulk ???????? Tears in my eyes all through your Dad segment. I miss my Dad so much ! Thanks for sharing your Dad for a while, Be careful out there.
Ryan we love your videos. Found your channel several months ago and have binge watch all your videos to get caught up. Have actually learned a lot. Will be starting on smaller buildings on our property very soon. Your cabin is beautiful. Actually all your structures are great! Please keep the videos coming and we will be watching. Love ya and stay safe ❣️
Wow! You sure do get a lot done in a short period of time. And then think about it. Your power tools are all battery operated. It's crazy! You're one of a kind Mr. Ringworm!
Been waiting all week for this video to drop! I have the same ryobi router and was curious to see how the outcome would look before I try it on my cabin project. Hope the finger heals, keep up the great content!
Add a larger base plate to the router to save those digits! that is what the 4 holes on the plastic base are for. You can also add a fence to ride the edge of the board.
While growing up working with my father for 13 years in construction the look on your dads face is a awesome thing I miss my dad seeing my work and seeing that look on his face cherish it bud time is sadly limited gotta say though that back wall looks beautiful!!!
I vote you install parallel heating capability via woodburning stove. That way regardless of propane availability, your beautiful new cabin will be warm and cozy. (Note the problems Europe is having getting propane etc). "Two is one, one is none!"
Yet another excellent installment in your continuing saga of Construction in Theory and Practice! Careful though -- you might get a ding on your nonconformist rep by putting that housewrap on right-side up . . . but with 3 more walls to go, I guess there's still time to mend your ways. BTW, I once wrapped a finger wound with that waterproof white tape for a week or more in wet weather. So securely that the really aggressive adhesive raised some itchy dermatitis on my poor finger.
You say often about you have cedar trees there. You could try to utilize that cedar by making small pieces of it, cedar tree pieces are used also to keep moths away from clothes. I don't know if there is more exact requirements for those pieces, but if you got the cedar supply there why not investigate a bit if you could sell those pieces with some label you could make to them.
Glad I found this channel. Your pushing my out into the woods faster now. You do a great job and your entertaining to watch. Never a dull or awkward moment in your videos. You do a great job. A lot of work is involved filming this the way you do. For that I thank you for allowing us in on this build.
Beveled does look nice and will allow for multiple recaulks while drying also giving easy lines for the tip to follow. I thought about shiplap style cut but when you said it gets stringy, removing more material could be more difficult. ps. I do miss the wisdom quotes at the beginning of the video. 🤓 I need some.
Now for a serious comment with out joking around, quite obvious to see your dad is a very proud man right now of the son he raised and showed him the way through life till you became an adult🤔🤔 I should say an adult and beyond !!
Hey I noticed builr up on blades from green lumber, use some wq40 and wipe them down and just spray them some every few cuts... trust me youll be happy
Traditionally chalk lines used ashes for the chalk. I have seen them use old oil in Asia. The thin blades heat up and expand and become wavy and go into a death spiral. You need to keep the blades clean with a cleaning solution in a squirt bottle. Oil the blades at the end of the day because they will rust overnight. After a day of cutting I take my bar and chain off, clean out the rails and put the chain and bar tip in a pot of oil. I planed all the cedar on my house. Real pretty but I had to oil it for five years before it aged into a nice color without going gray. Also consider going vertical and do baton and board. No shrinkage problem and rain runs off good with plenty of air behind to keep the boards dry. I live in a rain forest.
The cedar siding does look spectacular. For a guy that claims to not know much about what you're doing the workmanship, while not always conforming to the traditions of the trade, is excellent. Thanks for the video Ryan ! (53.6K subs.)
Installing a 2x2 outside horizontal your wall frame make the walls stronger and on 2x2 you put Tyvek. Now you get both horizontal and vertical insulation so less cool bridge and also you can put a vertical wood panels so less water leaks and if you using a lock panel model you get a nice ventilated wall.
The siding looks great with the beveled edges. How nice that your dad came out to help you. It was easy to see he was impressed by your skills. Glad that your mishap with the router was minor. Looking forward to seeing the cabin all dried in. May the weather be with you. Stay safe and happy!
