Beautiful sunset. Why is it that the sun sets so quickly? Nice boat, with a gentle rolling wave behind it, makes it very soothing.

👍👍

After the break in period, can this fire Winchester's Buckshot & Slug combo? Is the recoil that bad? I only use 2 3/4 ammo.

As the name says, it is a bridge construction so it is stable to carry some weight. As a shelter, it needs some extra stabilisation, maybe. Or you have to put some weight on top.

Just curious , and perhaps another video of yours addresses this, but how do you wash clothes in winter with snow ice winds & the cold. Loving your videos!😊

My favorite kind of terrain to navigate. Ive learned to read whats bottomless and what has some base for traction over the last 25 years so. While i do get stuck its not Often. Also running a Polaris big boss 6x6 800 on tires. Great Video!

I think the idea is far older than davinci the Chinese built the rainbow bridge with straight poles to construct an arch bridge i believe that is the oldest form of this construction

I love it. I memorized the cut pattern immediately. And envisioned shorter rafters to reduce the scissoring pressure effect and create more of a rounded structure to shed water better

I've been curious to see how one of these would be assembled

I enjoyed the video, I didn't expect the ending. I'm glad it a small setback and there was minimal damage. I have to ask about the German Shepard Dogs. They are Beautiful! I kept looking at the dogs as I watched the video. What working line are they from? I would love to know. I know they aren't the show line. The show lines are ruining the German Shepard breed. Lots of the Breeds being ruined ....In My Opinion

Mother nature had a grudge against you guys for some reason.

Buy a real saw.. China junk 😅

Sorry the weather got you but the design did work. You are definitely in Alaska. I love your puppies - they are having such a good time! I have 2 Great Pyrenees myself.

Awesome proof of concept. I really like how, coming down, the arch remains stable.

Dogs. And chainsaws. Make me nervous for the dogs. 🐕 only takes a microsecond. For disaster.

You are precious! Because you have tested the idea. I had same thought: to use Da Vinci bridge for garage tent or shelter. That should work eventually. I wish you luck, and wish you find what nuances provide it to be more stable.

Great video A and P. Love it. Your neighbors are amazing lol.

You guys are crazy-in a good way. Sorry it didn’t work out, but I think it’s a great idea. Thanks for posting :-)

I think your idea is good. I have only seen for bridge spans. Do wider with three spans. Shore up as you were saying, but do pole on pole instead of boards. I do long conical shelters and tipis just to deal with heavy deep snow. Shaking and the DeVinci idea may not work together.

Physics and geometry! You guys are brilliant.

Only 16 minutes to build a shelter 😮

Great idea, but dude, you have to do two things differently. Put fasteners like bolts in the places where the boards cross to keep them firmly together, and do adequate cross and side bracing as you build, so it’s braced all the time. But, I gotta say, I think there’s not enough slope to work in a heavy snow area like that.

Would NOT trust that as far as I could throw it!!!

Just the structure i wana be under after foot of snowfall

Building starts at 8:30

WOW, I called that one absent the earthquake...nice firewood stack though...😅

I wouldn't want to be under that contraption in a large snowstorm...

Think I would've built an a frame, but I'm still very envious of what you two are doing

The dogs were having a blast!

Self supporting is Nice, with Bolts is Better.

Do you have a link to the plans

Those chinese knockoff Stihls are great. Got a couple to replace my old brand name ones, all the parts fit, they run awesome.

So why not do this work in one of your pole barns?

Double the end roof boards. Install a center support pole under the middle. Screw the poles and end boards together. Your arch design is weak otherwise. Good luck. 😊

he buildt it for army use becose if you take one pice out it kolapses...needs presure or weight from above ( army or something else) or it easy colapses

Adding some diagonal bracing as it is built would reinforce the end to end movement. Also, instead of notching the end wood, if you used brackets that were just a little shorter than 1/2 the height of the pinned log beams, then it would be much stronger to loads. Another suggestion is to pre-drill a hole where the end wood pieces cross and bolt through both pieces with some fender washers and maybe even a block of wood on each side to increase clamp force? All these would tie it together better and be far stronger then what fell to nature. Overall a nice quick build, but definitely not a semi-permanent structure, let alone permanent. Thanks for the ideas and mental exercise I got running the numbers on the architectural stability of this! 😊

its da vinci bridge

I’d seen this design years ago but in scale. Popsicle sticks and skewers. You’re the first person I’ve seen build one. Respect that you showed the difficulty in initial erection. Bummer about the snow load results. Now we all know. I wonder if you could tie the two end uprights together and maybe improve its rigidity. Maybe put each upright a few inches into the ground too. How wide was it? End to end too? I hope you’ll continue to experiment with the technique. I liked the ability to disassemble these when I first saw the model. It reminded me of the Viking A-frame tents that have boards framing the bottom and how sturdy they are and break down for travel. I’m betting that bracing the end uprights together would lessen the chance of collapsing during erection. Good on ya for trying. Don’t give up on the possibilities. It’s a genius design imo. 👏👍🇺🇸

Wet snow and an earthquake will test your builds. Good job on giving that style of structure a go. Just throw up a log, centre supported a frame for now

Your front sight on Backwards

Great video.

Good vid interesting build little more support next time

Aren't they here enough!!

And the tarp roof can handle how much snowfall on it in that configuration ?? 😂😂😂😂

I love your dogs.

Did y'all see the beautiful sky on Monday night 1.27. Beautiful.

Hello. How fun. I recognize you from the Thrift Store. This is great. Especially thank you for the previous video about Toyo Stove.

Thank you for the video. Some sort of jack or gin pole would help setting up the frame. A gin pole would help moving logs too.

Great idea, take a look at Japanese bridges. Next time it will stand and stay. I'll be watching.
