Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Once upon a time ago, I worked for a company as an Engineer that made residential wooden playsets. And I can say with absolute certainty that this thing is completely over engineered... and Awesome.
6 X 6s....
Yeah... When he said 6x6s, I was like, "that's a lot, but it gives visual weight to the structure." Then he started doubling each post with 2x12's and I was like "that is more than extreme, but I guess kids will be jumping and tugging on things and you want to be safe." Then he started putting in 2x12 joists at what looks to be 16" O.C. and I was like, "when the tornado comes, all kids to the tree house; it is the strongest structure in the county."
His comment about being strong enough made me chuckle. You could probably build a ranch house on top of this in tornado alley and it'd be fine. Ridiculously over-engineered and awesome - as you said.
I'm looking to build something just like this. So would 8 4x4 posts be plenty strong? Mine will only be 6' off the ground.
This is how you do it for your own kid…lol
By watching your channel, I know you're an outstanding craftsman. You also appear to be an outstanding dad. I recently lost my dad and watching you build this with your son is special. Your son, I am certain, will remember this build the rest of his life. Don't stop!
Sorry for your loss Tom! I always giggle and love these father son moments captured, great to watch.
I’m sending you huge hUgz, Lee
sorry for your loss, sending healing hugs your way
Episode 119: Setting the footings for the water tower to the town I’ve built
Aside from your being a wonderful father, engineer, craftsman and whatnot, I really appreciate you correct use of English language and grammar. You're a pleasure to watch but also to listen to.
Tip for the future: Put the nut on the anchor bolt when you hit them in so you don’t potentially damage the thread. 👍🏻👍🏻🇦🇺
Tip for today, its fun watching 2 fvckin morons that dont have a clue build something. The collapse will be a epic youtube moment.
Learned that one the hard way…
The overengineering on this build is amazing!
I'm not an engineer but i can still certify this build is totally over-engineered
Yeah... 5/8" bolts are a little overkill! 1/2" would have been plenty strong.
Nothing but the good feels with this dad and family. Great diy info too.
"This is real work and everyone should do it at least once in their lives" - Brilliant quote
thank you for not "rebuilding a house" so tired of those house reno that every RUclips i follow does it now. This is awesome
I watched one of your videos earlier which showed you playing with your son. What a beautiful boy he is. I've been watching your videos for a long time and he is going to have a great life with you and your wife. Cheers from Ireland.
What Craig said. 😁 I grew up a carpenter and built my own house as an adult. People always told me I overbuilt everything. After watching you I think I could have done more. 😄 your project will be great.
the cantilever deck portion, you should add a double beam under the joist perpendicular to them bolted to the posts to add support under all of them. that is alot of weight pushing on a rim joist that has no support from beneath and the beam will transfer all the weight to the posts and not rely on the strength of screws alone. looks awesome man, keep up the good work
I agree, the rating on the screws is for side grain to side grain, end grain isn't too strong. Add 2x10s under the front posts to support the cantilever.
Was just about to add this comment. That's too much weight relying on end grain screws, especially when those joist ends will be the first to succumb to water damage. It might take a while, but it will eventually fail (prematurely), faster if they were the cut ends.
I’ll add, what’s the power source? A long extension cord will drastically lower the rpm’s on your 1/2” drills.
Agreed
I agree give it the extra support where it needs to be, that said this thing is built strong so far!!
Loving this series so far. Can't imagine how you spent all day in the 100+ degree heat and still managed to walk though.
I feel his pain... The weekend (rain free) I decided to install a sliding door, it was 110 in the shade!!!
In my experience doing things not knowing how to do things is the best and funniest way of doing things, you learn a lot and it keeps you entertained while you do it.
Just a heads up;
When you notch into the 6x6, this gives true support. When you use carriage bolts drilled into the 6x6's, your support is now reliant on "sheer" strength of the carriage bolt itself. So notching into the 6x6's is definitely the way to go. Plus it's up to code, at least in Wisconsin. So notching is much better than relying on sheer strength of the bolt. Still, very nice job! 66carpenter
this is great too keep in mind but too late for my project...the sheer strength of a 5/8 inch carriage bolt still looks to be about 30kN which seems to be about 6700lbs so more than enough for my use case
Trade trick. When setting your anchor bolts. Place the bracket on the pier pad, place the washer and thread the nut, place the anchor bolt through bracket. place the rotohammer setting on "hammer only", put the drill bit on top of bolt and vibrate in hole. No bolt damage and it tightens up. Great video and play structure for the kids!
I like how Jason likes to play "dumb guy" in his videos. When in reality he pretty much is a brilliant guy with a engineering mind. super talented
I'm not fooled either. This guy is brilliant.
I've watched pretty much everything he's put out and really enjoy the content, but, I will say the 'I don't know what I'm doing' thing get really old. He clearly knows what he's doing and executes at a very high level. I very much appreciate humility and modesty but don't insult the audience's intelligence. We know you know what you're doing. Carry on. Slainte!
Based on an article on woodshopnews, he hasn’t been woodworking nearly as long as his skills might suggest, and he learns as he goes. So, while he’s clearly far from dumb, apparently he really doesn’t always know what he’s doing. I find that inspiring.
Playing dumb is his "schtick" - it plays off great on YT while in reality, he's an extremely knowledgeable and talented craftsman.
You go above an beyond with everything you do. So awesome to see. Little man is lucky to have a dad like you. Also random to see NZ pine wood pop up haha. I’m a logger in NZ so nice to have some tie to this video. Much love from New Zealand 🇳🇿
if I have to drill with large auger bits like that I put chainsaw bar oil on the bit, helps the bit cut through without over heating
Legend has it that the Moth is still on top of the small structure to this day...
But nobody realy knows for sure....
Iver probably came out with some bourbon and a lamp. No way the Hibbs Moth could not fly down for that combo.
LOL this thing is built better and stronger than most houses! Awesome job!
Sir Plops-A-Lot is back. Your videos make me want to start working with wood! It's the best!
Great craftsman
Great dad
Great hubby
Great guy
Hey there. Watching from NZ. Glad to see our pine bring put to good use. But you installed those decking boards upside-down. Every deck I've seen here has the grooves on top. This is done to increase traction.
The grooves should face down. They allow Airflow under the decking boards to prevent rot. All the decks you've seen with the grooves upward are actually Installed wrong
It is genuinely fun watching you make this up as you go along. Enormously overbuilt , hurricane proof, “tree” house. Good times.
Wooooo working outside in the heat. Looking great! Listening along on the podcast makes this build even better.
Heat and humidity is the enemy when building these. Great looking work.
No potatoe chips for me but a cold belgian beer from my wedding left overs while my wife is asleep on this wednesday morning... Will grt bzck to that video in few years for tips and tricks ^^
Kiss your boy for me, from france. I hope he's enjoying this amazing treehouse !
Ok not only do I find your video’s interesting and educational, but also extremely hilarious! I found myself giggling like a school girl as I watched and listened to your video! The only thing that would be better? Finding the rest of this project video!😂😂😂😂❤❤❤! 👏🏽 Bravo! Intelligent and talented at both woodworking and comedy!!!!😂👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
ong love ur sons happy
dance ! best parent skills ever ! love the channel
Gotta say Jason, you are an awesome dad. This is one amazing build. Your son is one lucky boy.
Hey Jason, watching the build totally brought me back to 1994... when I bought a huge climbing frame for my kids. I had to dig out some giant tree stumps, dig holes and set the metal footings. So I bought plastic buckets from the big box store, and then mixed concrete and poured. Then I assembled the frame, and finally concreted the buckets into the holes I dug after levelling the frame. Not as well done as your build... but they still were all able to use the swings at thr same time and it was solid. This really brought back good memories of a build I had totally forgotten. I got so much satisfaction from that project, and a large deck I built back in 2000. I really miss the big projects, Cheers Nig
Living in NZ, that decking is used for just about everything. It's good stuff.
That bit pulling out the drill bit was pretty great
Love these videos. Especially enjoy watching a furniture maker over engineer a construction project.
Gotta say, I’m so pleased that although this build obviously demanded a high level of concentration, no one’s health or safety was compromised by contractor distraction and the foreman’s ear bolts were satisfactorily maintained during this process, , , , !
Cool design, cool job, cool dad !
Great job 👍
Your narration is legendary.
So far very good. The only thing missing. Even though you might think pressure treated wood is ready to go and can be just left as is it will start picking up molds and will rotten soon. To give your build extra life give it a 2 coats of Osmo 420d clear satin. It will make wood pop up and will protect it for really long time.
Great video. You're a great Dad!
Love your work!!!
In New Zealand we usually install your Decking planks the other side up…. The grooves give the kids grip if they are playing on it in the rain. I like the smooth look though 😂
Also from NZ, and the 'other way up' is incorrect, its engineered to be groove side down!
Oeoeh stairs. Great! Looks good, that little guy is one lucky dude with a dad ( and Mom ) like you.
My best purchase of the year is my dewalt pneumatic palm nailer. Makes nailing Simpson brackets much easier!
I think you might be able to park a Mack truck on that thing. This is very entertaining to watch.
Can't wait to see next week. I bet your son is really excited. 😊
I've been watching you for a couple years now, man your workmanship is second to none, very impressive sir!!!
This was awesome Jason! Looks great! I have been seeing you making progress on FB, and have been waiting for this. I would highly suggest taking a look at the Perkins Builder Brothers youtube channel. They do videos of building houses from start to finish, and Jamie is extremely informative on everything! With your sense of humor, you will love their channel! I am glad you decided to put in those carriage bolts as well, since you do not have your framing sitting on top of your 6x6s to allow the weight of the tree house to be distributed down the poles. So the bolts and nails are what holds the structure up now. Awesome job Jason!
I was thinking exactly this when watching the last video! Jason - you could do a collab with them or something where they roast your building processes or just walk you through some framing/construction advice. I think your subscriber count is higher than theirs, and maybe a collab would help both your viewers find another channel to follow...
@@camille.c 🤭 That would be really awesome if they were able to collaborate on this where they come out and give a few pointers, but I am not sure however if Jason will want them to build it for him, since he is building it for his son...or himself...
Wow, this is turning into an EXPENSIVE project! With the price of lumber right now, this is already into the thousands of dollars... It's going to be really special for your son and all his friends. And probably outlast you... Well done!
Probably for grandkids as well 😆
If the need arises, try adding the nut onto the wedge anchor flush with the top of the bolt prior to hammering saves the threads to get it started.
I'm a lineman and we drill holes like that every single day. Good on you for getting some 😆😆. Next you need to throw on some hooks and start climbing
To mark concrete, you can use concrete crayons, Marking Crayon or Lumber Crayon work too. sharpies work until you file down the tip.
‘While you are ating potato chips, watching tv”, *in the air conditioning*…… :). Heart goes out to you… built a 1200 sq foot deck in August in San Antonio…sooooo bloody hot! Best of luck and keep drinking water!
for someone who doesn't know what they're doing, you certainly know what you're doing. This is going to be built better than some new housing that's out there!
Thank you for this and this was VERY interesting to me bc I'm stabilizing an old deck and watching this come together has given me some ideas for how to proceed lol.
Really enjoying this series, can't wait to see the finished project. I'm probably more excited than Ivor. 🤣
Gotta love Ivor's DP "cool, not cool" t-shirt!
I cant even begin to imagine what this "tree house" setup cost altogether! Lucky kid for sure!!
i'm guessing at least $4000
All the load is just carrying on those bolts. It’s probably fine, but nothing is framed like that normally. Youd typically want those posts under the deck supporting some main beams and the decking sitting on the beam. Some big tree houses use massive anchor bolts into the tree but even then, they’ll have beams with decking on top so that framing Is carrying framing. Not bolts carrying it through wood which can shrink or move.
This is my favorite video. Not once did you bring out that festool domino thing. Seeing you use that reminds me of how poor I am.
A palm nailer is the perfect tool for joist hanger nails. Especially in tight spaces, makes the job much easier.
When even your grandchildren play with it, it will pay off two fold🤙👌
Great build so far, also glad to see another country using timber from the country I was born and raised in
I love big projects like that. seems a bit easier.
Part II great Thank You
for joist hangers think about a pneumatic palm nail driver / would also come in handy in the shop for tight places
The Forman kicks butt, Jason couldn’t do it without him. Shout out to Iver
25:40 A zen like state . Just me Nature and a bottle of Bourbon . (thus the name)
I love the quality on this. I was born in the 70s and our "playset" was made out of probably lead pipe and rusty iron.
I was born in the 60s, and drove by my old grade school a couple weeks ago - where all those old rusty pipe playthings were still standing solid. Only the gravel under them had changed to that newfangled rubber pellet stuff. Wussies. :)
@@devolvedmutant EXACTLY. My brother dislocated his arm landing on blacktop that our school stuff was mounted in. That built character. And funny moving arms and legs.
Tip for removing concrete from drilled holes. Use one of those baby nasal tools (the ones that suck snot from baby's noses.) You can stick it in the hole and blow all the dust out. I keep one in my drill case.
Or just a soda bottle with a hole in the lid 😁
I just went to the $1 store and bought one of the condiment squeeze bottles to blow the hole out. My coworkers at the time made fun of me when they saw it... But ended up using it instead of dragging out a shop vac.
What a beauty of work 😀👍🏻
In the next episode we'll be placing the 1969 VW Beetle on the top deck to check for strength and perhaps leave it there for a cool curved roof look! 🤣😂 It will hold it. It's overbuilt for sure. Can't lie though, I overbuild everything, so I get it. Looking good 👍
I've been waiting for this all week!
Pro tip on joist hangers some framing nailers have a positive placement which allows you to use it when putting up joist hangers! its looking good!
The thing to watch out for when making this recommendation is to ensure people know they need to use nails suited for joist hangers. They need to be a one-piece nail; standard framing nails (positive placement gun or not) aren't suitable. For anyone who might be confused thinking all nails are one-piece, it refers to the manufacturing process. If you use the correct nails, you can shoot straight through the metal on the hanger if you don't have a positive placement tip (at least that's the case here in Australia), but it doesn't look as neat. In any case, a palm nailer is great for hanger/strap/bracket nails, especially in tight spaces.
I work in this side of construction and always enjoy watching your woodworking videos. It’s really nice to see you doing my type of work! Looks great so far
I can't wait for the fourth video where you build a water slide and a barbecue pit.
I love a good plopping
Commentary is hilarious 😂😂😂 great vid and it looks great
Structural screws are just as strong as 1/2" lag bolts and WAY easier to install, no drilling holes and no need to cut off the ends.
Hope this helps for your next "tree" house.
Kudos to you cause if I had to lay every deck board myself, I would have made sure to torture everyone with watching every single screw I had to use. lol. It's looking great and makes me miss Oregon everytime you upload.
Good idea to put decking on the top first so you can hopefully work in the shade while decking the bottom.
this tree house earned you a sub
Really enjoying this series - looks great!
nicely done. It's so different from Samurai Carpenter's off-grid cabin (I know it's not an off-grid cabin). It was nice to have an insight to a different approach to a similar project.
At 21:36, the 6 joist in between the post are not cantilevered. They are clear spanned out and hanging from a cantilevered rim joist. Definitely not code, and would be a problem if not massively over built and a non inhabited structure.
That treeless tree house is looking amazing! Overbuilt? Probably, but that makes it look so awesome and, the best part of it is that whatever structure or helipad is sitting on your land in 100 years from now will have a treeless treehouse that’ll still be as strong as it was when you built it! I say that it appears you are enjoying building it more than your son will probably enjoy playing in it.
You are awesome Bro. Keep going!
Haha "z" is for dimensional lumber... Crazy some people thought it was for zmax, for use with treated lumber... Fun video as usual!
The problem with temperature is it’s taken in the shade. 30 degrees warmer in the sun. We hung tarps so we’re only working in the 100 degree shade and not the 130 degree sunshine.
When you cut pressure treated wood, I think you’re supposed to field treat the cut ends. There’s no treatment in the interior of the wood, so when exposed through cutting it is as vulnerable to rot as untreated wood.
Pre-drilling a smaller bore hole with a 1/8th or 1/4” bit first allows the larger5/8” bit bore in easer. Nice job so far!
If something is worth doing, it's worth overdoing. Totally overbuilt, but hey, at least the kids will be safe on it. Unlike the treehouse and jungle gym I had growing up. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Thanks for sharing!
Your foreman has got a great life! Keep up the great work.
🎉finally the 2nd part
You might want to check his earbolts; I think he was loosening them!
Head might fall off!!!!!
Iver is one cool little dude, let him dance like you if he wants. He has a kickass dad who is going above and beyond right here. That is what matters. Really enjoying this build. You guys rock. Also, aren't those wood chips soft enough to just jump down into? Cheers
Iver is a hoot 😂 if I'm ever lucky enough to have a son of my own I hope he's like that
He's got a good dad too 👍
If you build something in the future using joist hangers... Invest in a palm nailer to drive all the nails. It's much faster!!!
Brilliant!
As a semi-retired semi pro deck builder, I feel you on the carriage bolts. But then came along, Timberlok structural fasteners. They are your friend. Next time you build something like this, thank me later.
In the state of Oregon it is a class 4 felony to mark concrete with a sharpie. Especially if you didn’t submit a 439B form with the proper signature’s from the state officials for proper sharpie usage.
I was waiting for steel I beams but close enough. 😁
