Mini cabin/tarp shanty quick interior tour
4dogswoodworking is proud to present the singing woodworker Mike Sniedze.....
Would liked to have seen a fastmo of applying the first layer of glue and applying the canvas. Especially the overlap corners.....that you cant see.
A thought....what about putting the roof skin on before you rolled it over. Then installing the ceiling insulation and the ceiling material while it was on the floor? That way it would be easy to install like the bottoms of the wings and the overhang? Just a thought......
Thanks for the added router techniques
Thanks again. It is a pleasure to hear a professionals ideas and opinions on how to do the job.
I think my comments are a video off. What kind of type of sheet? Do you get the same strength as fiberglass or just the look?
I bought sheets from Walmart so they were all the same.. they were supposed to be 100 percent cotton.. but I don’t think they were … anyways I had a lot of problems with them ( fail video) I ended up using thicker drop cloths from Home Depot .. they are quite coarse.. but I liked the look .. I dont think it’s as strong as fibreglass .. hopefully strong enough …
@@mikesniedze9122 I like the rough look . as well. Thanks
Your thoughts... 1. Tubes of Gorilla construction adhesive vs wood glue? 2. Multitool vs router to trim plywood edges flush?
I used yellow glue ( tite bond 2 ) for the exterior shell… I used construction adhesive for the interior panels ( because I also glued my insulation with the appropriate ( won’t melt styrofoam adhesive ) . All this info is in the videos … By multi tool, do you mean an oscillating saw with the little flat blades? No.. I would not .. it would work, but not nearly as clean or fast …
Are you using brads or staples
Mostly staples … screws in some areas … also glue
Just found your series. I'm looking forward to see how a carpenter will build a camper. I know it is to late for my comment but it would have been nice to see how you built the base unit. I assume you cut your own 2x2 because they are better than the cap 2x2 you buy. Thanks
The frame was pretty basic .. pressure treated for the base .. 2 long sides , with 7 ends/ribs captured between them … like a standard stud wall ( sill and top plate with studs in between ..) I sandwiched a piece of reflectix between that and the 5/8” subfloor .. partly for insulation, and partly to deter rodents …
Also, I’m not really a carpenter.. self taught woodworker and cabinetmaker haha..
Good to see you back at it. I think I'm going to borrow you roof design. lol
Glad to be back! Use any design you want haha. Cheers!
Thanks for the tour. Very helpful. I’m hoping to make one soon. Just starting out really, in my first year of woodworking and retirement. It me I have, but knowledge I lack, so your video was really instructive.
Thanks David. I’m glad you enjoyed it . I do plan on making another , with a shaving horse head . I will for sure make a shaving horse head that is interchangeable ,and then another bench ..either to pack flat, or a bit bigger to fit both heads . I will try to do a reasonably detailed video . It is a bit down on the list of things to do . Welcome to the world of woodworking !
What was the thickness of the gasket
The gasket was 1/8 thick by 3/4” .. it was actually for a pellet stove and came with adhesive on it .. I tried it with added gasket adhesive , and it fell off on the left side and the top .. I redid it with just the adhesive on it and it did the same .. that gasket is not rated for the heat the stove gets too… I bought some more , and am going to try again
Glad to see you back at it. Great video.
Yes it is good to be back at it !! I’m glad you enjoyed it .
صباح الخير أيها الرجل المثابر انك تقوم بعمل رائع ولكن هل انت لوحدك قمت بتصميم الكابينه فيا ريت تتفضل علينا بشرح كامل عن القياسات والابعاد وكيف قمت ب تنفيذها والسؤال الذي لم أفهمه ماهو المارين بلاي وود او الخشب البحري واذا امكن تصويره بوضوح وشكرا جزيلا
Le côté aluminium vas ver l’intérieur
This brand states foil goes to the exterior , unless you are putting vinyl siding directly over it .. I did screw up on half the roof , because I had done the interior from the inside , and was used to looking at the green side . Right or wrong , it’s too late now !
I used a very good quality landscape filter fabric, turned out really good. I see your glue did not readily pass thru your cloth. I used 48" width, overlapped 3". Really happy, i did water down one ounce water for each one quart batch. Slight texture look after two primer and two paint coats. Mine is a pop top camper roof. 17:27
I honestly had problems anywhere I had glue overly soaking through as I applied it … the canvas is fully covered in glue from both sides … . I had tried watering it down , even soaking the canvas in a bucket of watered down glue … in the end , the way I did it have me the best results .. but I’m sure there are better ways .. I’m always curious to see how other people do it .. I’m glad it worked out for you !
Did you wash the canvas to eliminate shrinking?
Yes. I washed it ( no soap ) and dried it .
Hi ... getting ready to start on my camper this winter .. watched pretty much all the videos out there and this is my favorite by far .. Amazing work !!! you gave me many excellent ideas Thank You !!
I was with ya till the crappy music started. Really?
Thanks for your taking time out of your life for the input . Have a wonderful day
You: "Probably the worst video to watch..." Lol. Checking in from Ohio here and not finding any other gasket modification vids-- they're all aboot replacing an existing gasket. I'm much more interested in trying to get a longer burn time out of cast iron stove by adding a gasket but I'm not seeing anyone doing this.
Well I will have an update .. the 1/8”gasket I used is actually for pellet stoves , and the top piece kept coming off … I tried it with just the self adhesive, and with that same glue, but didn’t really clean it properly to be honest.. as it was winter . I am going to re do it properly , and will update .. it does make a difference in performance , but you can’t totally damp it down like a sealed unit . However with dense hardwood I have done ok.
Thinking of purchasing this wood stove, I currently run the Princess auto version in my Ice shack but the pipes get clogged up quick. The princess auto stove also lets out a ridiculous amount of smoke anytime you open the door even when there is a hot burn going. Have you had any similar issues with this stove?
If I am burning dry wood, the pipes do just fine.. I clean them every couple of weeks thoroughly ( I go through the sidewall, so I have two 90 degree bends) . I just open the door a crack for a few seconds to let the draft adjust and it’s not too bad… if the fire is low , or recently started it can be smoky … but generally manageable
@@mikesniedze9122 Awesome, thanks for the quick reply, i'll keep an eye out for a sale at Cabela's! Hopefully this one will perform better
Hey Mike, any updates on the camper? Been following your series for a while time now, you helped me out a lot with your fiberglass videos!
Hey Nick… I have some video footage that was lost , and I’ve been pretty busy with my work and a small business ( which I have been using my camper as storage for haha) but I just cleaned it out a bit and am getting back into it .. I will have to move in a year or so so I really need to get moving . Thanks for following along and don’t feel bad about prodding me a bit ( or a lot) I need it sometimes .
Has anybody considered using landscaping mesh vs canvas?
I don’t think it would work with wood glue .wood glue gets a lot of its strength from the fact it soaks in .. that mesh would be nylon or some other plastic .. Maybe with some kind of epoxy . Not sure .
@@mikesniedze9122I did a test with landscaping mesh on 1 inch xps foam and it made a very hard coating. The glue wetted thru very well. The test pieces were only bonded front and back, I didn’t wrap the fabric around, and I could not break the foam apart by hand. I probably put 40 lbs of force trying to break it across my knee and there was obviously some flex, but no cracking or delaminating. I used uncut Titebond 3
The first thing you want to do is make sure your top is low enough to leave an overlap AT THE BOTTOM... not set the bottom- work from the top down, and get the air out, no wonder you are having issues with air bubbles!!!
Feel free to watch the video where I changed canvas, sanded off the bondo and had success. It may delaminate over time, but so far has been doing just fine.. I haven’t watched this in awhile.. I’m not sure what you mean by an overlap at the bottom.. my camper is upside down here
@@mikesniedze9122 To successfully sqreed all air out of a glue covered canvas, with little effort as possible, go from the top to the bottom, aligning the canvas where you can drop it , squeegee the canvas from the top to the bottom, using gravity to help you, any extra canvas at the bottom, just cut it off. I know your camper is upside down, that is not relevant to the application process.
Sound advice.. I positive part of the problem with these thin sheets is they were not 100 percent cotton as advertised… they were overly stretchy , and I really had to pull it excessively tight to get out the wrinkles … it started shrinking as it dried and started crating bubble too… I did not have this issue with thicker drop cloths
@@mikesniedze9122 I use thinner 100% cotton linens I find at fabric stores. more expensive, but are lighter, thinner, and do the same job, just make sure the thread count is over 700 LPI and its plenty strong.
The best way to apply larger areas is to take it only several feet at one time, roll about two feet, roll the canvas and the wood, slick it down, then roll the next two feet. This way you always get good adhesion with wet on wet. And the Bondo wont help. PVA isn't formulated to stick to that shit. It isn't the moisture, its having air bubbles trapped. If you need to resolute PVA, use denatured alcohol to soften the glue, then reapply more glue. Once PVA dries for several days, it is nearly impermeable, and won't take new glue over top.
OMG, I am seeing this so much now... using Bondo for smoothing the surface under where you want to put the Tightbond, and this is not going to age well with the Tightbond... PVA is not good for all surfaces, it likes raw wood. The wood glue will be likely to delaminate over time.
Why use Titebond 2 and not Titebond 3?
Partly because everyone uses tite bond 2 .. and tite bond 3 is markedly more expensive …
@@mikesniedze9122 after I asked the question, I found a RUclips video of a test using TB3 which showed that it could be used instead of TB2, so I think you’re answer is accurate that it’s a matter of cost. I did watch some videos of tests using other adhesives. I’m new to this and am researching the topic for a camping trailer rebuild project. Thanks so much.
As tu clou ou vissé ou brocher ton louan ?
I dont speak French . I will answer your questions if you translate them for me
Cotton Sheet basic weave types come as percale, sateen, jersey, or pinpoint. The thread count determines density of vertical and horizontal threads per sq inch of fabric, so 100h x 100v per sq in is 200 thread count fabric. Percale is usually 200 to 400. Sateen is 300 to 600. If you were using linen sheets, they would be stronger even with a thread count of 80 to 140. Some sheets have thread counts in the 1000s. Higher thread counts stifle air or fluid flow compared to lower thread count. Also, "excessive" thread count decreases toughness and durability.
Vous avez beaucoup d’outil et d’espace de travail
C’est quoi le tissu ? C’est bien de colle d’ébénisterie que tu emploie ?
Where did you get your canvas from?
Home Depot… cheap and a rough weave … but it works for the slightly rustic finish I was after
Will Titebond II stick to itself? In an earlier video it appears you glassed corners, came back later and cut edges straight, then covered and glued full wet sheets onto side. I can't tell if you overlapped newly glued material over dried edge already on coach. Thanks - appreciate your attention to details.
I sanded the existing corner pieces that were previously glued and dried … it seems to be very well adhered … I would not trust glue on un-sanded glued surface .
Great video. I heard people dilute the glue about 10% do you think that would be a good idea.
No. Titebond can be diluted with an additinoal 5% water: any more and strength begins to decrease, may no longer meet specifications. Best way to determine if a particular process will work is to make a test article and then test it. IMO clear vinegar is the way to dilute.
Great job on this build, looks pro....thanks for showing this project.
Thanks ! It’s been on hiatus for far too long … build is resuming … and I have a bit of footage to edit for a video as well
I love the look I wish I would have found your videos earlier could of saved me allot of time haha did you put caulk or anything under the trim or just straight to the pmf thanks again for all the help with my questions and sorry to keep aggravating you so much
I used construction adhesive, and then caulked all the edges ..
And your corners look amazing best I've seen
Thanks! Even though I covered them up with trim , I wanted to do them nicely, in case I ever wanted to do another and they would show
@@mikesniedze9122 if you don't mind me asking what kind of trim did you put on , thanks for the other replies
I used pine , and wire brushed it for texture … not the look everyone would want, but it works for me.. there is a video up about it … I’ve actually painted it all , but have not uploaded that footage .. I’m a bit ( a lot ) behind but I am resuming the build … can’t stay in the shop much longer !!
@@mikesniedze9122 thanks so much
Great job what ounce fabric or where did you get it thanks
I actually used drop cloths from Home Depot .. not sure of the weight .. they were quite rough, which I actually like for the look I’m going for .. I can look .. I have an unopened one .
This is the second time I've seen someone having an issue from trying sheets. Just guessing, but it does look like the tight weave is the problem. Bubbles galore and not optimal adhesion. I cannot stress enough how grateful I am to people who share the flubs. Saves a LOT of people a lot of frustration, time, and money.
The tight weave was definitely a problem haha !! I had much more success with the thicker, rougher drop cloths ..
do you live in this thing full time?
Not anymore .. but I did full time including 2 1/2 winters … coldest was minus 15 Celsius ( about 5 degrees Fahrenheit) including showering outside .. I was t off grid though .. I had power .. but I mostly used the wood stove … I had electric heat in the fall during fire band , and a pump to use as a shower
I've had the same t-bell for over 10 years; loaded up to 120# (to test) and it could take even more.
You should should have trimmed out those windows to tie into the sill otherwise the only thing protecting those window sills is a caulk bead and some putty tape
First of all you should not water it down at all. That will only take away it glue properties. And secondly, you should sand it down to get rid of all the high spots and make it smoother, then give it another coat. After the second coat, sand it good again and give it a third coat. I like to take my time and use a large paint brush instead of a roller. I did mine that way and it feels just like fiberglass. It's smooth and not as brittle so I think it will hold up better.
You get a much better finish if you sand it good and give it three coats of glue. That gives it a smooth finish like fiberglass and looks better after painting instead of that rough canvas finish you get with just one coat. Sanding it smooth is the key.
Thanks for the tour 👍 I’m about to make a mule head for shave horse beam.
I need to make a shave horse head for mine.. I had a shave horse for years, but want something that can hold both
Thank u for the ideas on making the grain on the wood that’s a great trick , I have learn ur idea & techniques in building the camper appreciate it Mike
Thanks to ur project in using MPF & showing it how to do it , I got my truck camper done & master it quit well , u can go see it on my RUclips under Yoel roque on part 2
I’m glad it helped you on your project !!
Do you have plans available ?
I do not have any plans .. I do believe I listed the dimensions as i built it in the earlier videos
Is that a Felder table saw? I love that sliding table. Is it worth $1600?
It is an Altendorf WA 6… I’ll have to check, but it was more like $16,000 , but that was 12 or 15 years ago ..… I just saw some used ones for $12000
Nice shop. Are you a cabinetmaker?
I am a cabinetmaker… not my shop though
Don’t thin the glue for the first coat, you only thin the second coat over the cloth so the glue can penetrate all the way through the cloth to bond with the first coat of glue. I had zero problems
I ended up applying it full strength .. the thin sheets I initially used were not 100 percent cotton I’m sure , though they were supposed to be … when I switched to thicker drop cloths, I had no problems .. not to be argumentative , but yellow glue doesn’t bond stick to itself once dried … part of its strength comes from its soaking in ability .. but if your canvas was bonded well, then the thinned coat would fill the weave and seal it …
@@mikesniedze9122 the video I watched said that the glue would bond with the base coat as long as it was titebond ll. It said not to use titebond lll for second coat because it would not bond with base coat. All I know is I had zero problems and after 2 years sitting in the Florida sun and rain still zero problems. I guess as long as it works it doesn’t really matter what method you use. Lol
I agree.. I’m glad it worked out… speaking from a woodworking perspective, I f I rolled glue on a piece of wood , and let it dry, then added fresh glue and another piece of wood,the bond would be incredibly weak .. structurally speaking .. at any rate, I’m glad yours is holding up well! Hot sun can be as problematic as rain
