Was out walking in the park yesterday and lady asked me where I got my chore jacket. I told her and let her take a pic of the label. Also told her its now available in navy too. Hope she places an order. Thanks for the content.
@@carlroge My grandparents were from Paris and then retired to Lussan. My grandfather had a chore jacket. I spent nearly all my summers with my grandparents and I am sure my grandfather was OK when I would leave because he got his jacket back. It was the only thing of theirs I kept when I finally clean out their house. That jacket is such a strong memory for me that when you offered them for sale I bought it a heartbeat.
@@DavidS5118 they are great memories to have! Do you still wear it? The checked red jacket I used to wear in videos was also my grandads, I wore it to shreds and now it’s hanging in the wardrobe☺️
Nice, I've only recently noticed Carl has jackets for sale, as a carpenter I'm planning on ordering one. Can i ask did you pick a fitted or loose size and did the sizing work out for you? Thanks
Same here, I watch them as I would eat a finely made meal. Mention of Engles Coach Shop in the US was nice. I hope to see if you paint the outside of your hut as he does one of his historical recreations. I suppose many of us watching have major disabilities as well, which are very limiting as yours is. Due to my own, I took up my own brand of calligraphy as a means of making a little money from time to time so I really appreciate the attention to detail in your videos.
I love your style of building including mistakes and your enormous efforts to correct them make and your projects perfect even if that means going back to nearly the beginning of your build. I also appreciate your narration which is your normal voice without the exaggerated antics that some RUclipsrs do to attract clicks. Thank you for all of your hard work and patience.
That’s exactly what I was thinking. A single layer of fabric and some resin to fill all those kerfs. You would be both waterproof and have extra strength. And I would think a spade bit, or even just a twist drill could cut that MDF without destroying the face. Really enjoy all the progress Carl Your project is coming together nicely.
Totally agree. Wondered when the fiberglass + resin comment would pop up? In fact, I would have applied epoxy/vinylester before that grout and expensive (one component?) paint.
For future reference drilling into MDF, cover the hole location with blue tape prior to drilling, drill a pilot hole to keep the self-feed tip from pulling the auger in, and run the drill backwards first to score the perimeter of the hole. Lots of work, but your results will be much improved
If you want to use solid wood boards to cover a round surface in the future try using more narrow stock and instead young ang grove connections use hallow and round. This technique is used in making wooden canoes and wooden barrels.
When you mentioned during the bolts section that your building method might help someone else to maintain the vehicle in the future, it got me thinking. There's a chance that you are building the first ever Shepard's Hut from start to finish whose build has been archived on video for the future owner to see in 100 years time. People buying a vintage vehicle never get to see so much of the skill and effort that has gone into the creation of their vehicle. I'm considering making a similar video about one of my own projects, whether for a client or just a show project for myself. I respect you showing the problems and u-turns. Master craftsmanship is about commitment to doing it right, even when there are setbacks or bumps in the road. Thanks for the great entertainment 👍
Please don't change the style of videos you produce. The level of excitement I have over getting the notification of a new video from you is fantastic. That excitement comes from knowing that I will get to see all the wins or struggles from each step of this project. It makes creating something like this feel doable, because it is not only a hi-light reel of all the successes.
fort smith ar here USA. you are good with your hands and think through your projects. this has kept your videos fresh!! thank you for the work you share.
Carl, thanks for the transparency in all your videos. We all know the saying, "You learn more from your mistakes than fro. What goes right." But that doesn't mean it isn't frustrating and at times infuriating. I really enjoy hearing you explain your process of working. Onward!
I used to be an architectural and engineering model maker and when I started my apprenticeship I was assigned a mentor. My mentor was Brian from Leeds and he showed me this very tedious process of making our own wood scrapers using old worn out high quality saw blades . Very effective tools.
Amazing build, love the format, attention to detail, explanations, plus you are a legend, doing all this with your health. I reckon your hut is gonna blow greenwood out of the park, and hopefully come in many,, many,,, thousands under their prices.
I love this style of video so thanks for taking the time to record the detail. I love the spider shots. Although they take time they add an air of quality to the video. Thank you.
I'm glad someone else noticed that. I used to watch a man from the Netherlands doing a rehab in Italy just for those same gorgeous shots. Alas, he lost the desire to add them enough and my desire to watch his channel went with it. His rehabber abilities made me cringe too much. I found myself saying "Why?" too much seeing all his thoughtless mistakes. Showing mistakes and reworks is good education but that guy needed to do some forethought first! I love Carl Roger's approach to all he does as he's dedicated to doing it right.
Not to worry about your work and/or mistakes, I enjoy just seeing you at work and listening to your voice. Thrown in a bunch of beautiful vistas and I’m happy. Great entertainment. ❤
I am a perfectionist. It can be a great asset but also a curse. It really depends where you apply the perfection and in your case it’s perfect. In your videos I love the accuracy and also the changes of decision. The key is always bowing how to save a situation. Planning is so important and some of my best ideas have come to me when I wake up or in the shower. Talk about a lightbulb moment 😊 Watching this whilst round a pool in Gran Canaria. Very relaxing.
I really, really don't need an article of clothing like the Coto jacket. But, I am really keen to support your work. So, like the wooden coasters I didn't need (but I use regularly!) and the custom tool pouch of which I have many, I just ordered the jacket to help you carry on. Keep up the good work!
Great choice on the trailer! I own an ifor williams boxvan trailer in the Netherlands. One with a door/ramp in the back. It is the only closed trailer on the market with this great combination of loading with a forklift and unloading with a palletjack. Ive had it for more than 4 years now and it has proven indestructible! Believe me.. it has seen some abuse.
Indeed with the clamping force of a bolt vs coarse pan head screws.. the clamping force of m20 bolts attaching two 8" x 6" oak beams on a lap joint is immense!
Hey, Carl. YOU are the builder, whereas WE are the watchers. No pressure, boy-o, none at all. I love all the details, whereas I might learn some new-to-me technique. The mistakes to be corrected or do overs are the nemesis of gazillion woodworkers who are truthful about said mistakes and do overs, whereas I set my standard correction to those you show in your videos, curse words/new stock/different product/use specific application/s and all. Whether or not you make timely, numerous and or length specific are totally your call, bro', whereas whenever you post one I enjoy it. 'Nuf said. ❤🎉😊
I have trouble believing it has been 14 months since the start of the hut. It is very enjoyable to watch the steps, even the less successful ones that require a re-do. I hope your health has improved and you are in less pain.
I watch a lot of construction/restoration videos, like A LOT! (Mostly regarding houses) More often than not, I skip through and/or watch them on fast forward. Yours I do not. The way you explain your thinking and your work is interesting and enjoyable. Keep doing what you're doing - the way you're doing it. It works. Thank you for creating valuable documentation.
@mircomuntener4643 Hey! Don't slight Cole the Corn Star! LOL. Carl might like watching how he does things to offer his own insights. I can't get enough of Cole, Roman, and Justin, though I'm elated they finally poured the cement for that underground movie theatre. I was beginning to think it might be the end of them and that build.
@pattyroe2305 sure thing, champ. I'm watching too, doesn't mean I have to love everything they're doing. Cole has the impulse control of a toddler, his wife must have the patience of a goddamn saint, and his parents must be the most wholesome people on earth for her to put up with living with them as long as they have and will have to going forward while raising literal toddlers.
Your video editing, and sound editing, skills are also part of the quality experience. That fade-through from the helicopter's rotors to the card scraper was particularly well thought out.
Love that you're posting more often now. PS: For whoever else reads the comments, I can vouch for the jackets, I got mine delivered in February or March if I remember correctly, it is great quality indeed.
Brilliant videos by a very talented person. To be applauded and supported. Returned from 4 days in Dublin today and was asked 3 times where I got my jacket. Thought I’d better get a Navy one too as I need all of the attention I can get!. Thank you and good luck.
Carl, thanks for your work. It is truely poetry in motion. I got your jacket earlier and have now bought a second one as a birthday present for a friend. If this helps you I am as happy as you beacause I love my jacket as will my pal! Cheers Tobias (in Sweden)
I'm pretty confident everyone watching has a deep respect for the work and the results. The videos are very pleasing to watch and get absorbed in to. So much so that I want to know if the beams are finished in gloss or satin yogurt. Can't be too fussy about the finish, you know.
Hey there, best wishes fromStrathalbyn South Australia. I really appreciate the tone and tenor of your videos and I really want you to keep committing. In today’s world you do a beautiful job countering the rubbage, commercial veneer and crap that I usually have to put up with. This was a great video. When you were explaining how you addressed the issue of the warped beams I was totally impressed. I was thinking how you’d shamed me for all the short cuts I’ve taken in jobs I’ve done. I was awestruck by your forethought in thinking about future crafts -‘persons’ reusing your laminated beams (not just burning them). And how much time you had to indulge in the finesse. Awed I was. Then you went and bought MDF. Ha ha, I spilt my Pino Grigio all over the cat. Honestly, I bl@@dy hate that stuff. It was good because it made me feel waaay better about myself. Look I really appreciate how you approached the problem - in terms of flexibility and strength. You are a real logical/engineering mind and I appreciate the way you work through a problem and communicate it. I was impressed with how you created those strong curved shells. However, I can’t get over the fact they are MDF. Hey, my problem not yours. My mind was going steam heated bamboo floor boards… Whatever, I love your work and I hang out for the next release. Mate I’d buy one of your coats but I don’t do blue. Blue and flies aren’t a good mix in Aus. Can you do a green or sand colour? I’d buy one straight up. Good luck with the build mate. But can you have another think about the roof for the wagon? All the best.
You’re right; I appreciate the level of detail and your presentation of the problems and their solutions. That, and the beautiful videography have always looking forward to seeing what’s next. Ordering a jacket now.
You are a magician I have been following you since you renovated the roof of the house your patience and precision is incredible a hug from an Italian who lives in Brazil my friend congratulations 👍🤗
Carl, I hope this comment is not unwelcome but BIN primer is shellac based. It’s an outstanding sealer against stains and seasonal humidity changes but it is not waterproof. If you want a water proof coating, I would put a coat or two of latex exterior paint on top of that. When I work with MDF, I like to seal it with epoxy primer. That’s about a resilient a sealer as you’ll find.
isn't epoxy primer very expensive? I have used bin as a primer before painting , on old kitchen cabinets and doors with a mix of old wood and mdf, it is indeed excellent.
@@jeffk7017 yea bin is between 50 to 70 a liter here. The cleaning with ammonia is a rough experience though😅 You use epoxy primer as a first coat before paint?
It’s coming together amazingly, look forward to trying some of the techniques on a build of my own. Well done for continuing to learn, adapt and share the positives and less positive moments of the build. Excellent choice on the trailer too, a great combo you’ve got
Definitely love your informative, well shot videos! Fewer you-tubers every day that actually make captivating content without fluff. Don't have money to donate now, but I hope the project goes well, and enjoy watching your struggles and patience. Big fan. Tobias.
Wow that was a genious solution to that problem. One of the many reasons I follow you is that detailed slow and cinematography. Cheers from Bremerton WA, USA.
Thanks for speaking about your nemesis, mine too, and I thought it was because I don’t think clearly enough during the project. I consider you to be an expert planner and thinker when it comes to any project.
Really no pressure just keep moving along and not let it die otherwise take your time enjoy and don't burn out on it. Make mistakes have to reverse gears all part of learning. Your videos always enjoyable.
The green MRMDF is quite good. I used it to make wainscoting in a kitchen and bathroom. The project was still looking good 6 years later when we sold the house. Good luck!
I knew before I got to the sealing of the MDF that you opted for Zinn BIN, I used the same for the MDF shelving I made for my living room and it’s bloody awesome and has sealed the MDF perfectly. It’s also a good base to paint over in one coat, I know it’s expensive but it’s worth the price especially for anything MDF related. One of the shelves was drying outside, due to it being quite smelly, anyway it started to rain and the water just beaded on top and I was able to wipe dry with no damage to the MDF 😊
Keep up the good work, including the learning by mistakes. We all (should) do it. The grouting float was an excellent tool upgrade, addressing your mdf filling task. Just what I was shouting at the screen when I was watching you start with a putty knife. I'm not sure whether adding a very thin layer of (marine) ply over the top would improve waterproofing? Love the chore jacket; my wife is getting me one for Christmas (she doesn't know that yet, but when it arrives I will let her know).
That ferry to Santander is fabulous...more a cruise & so much better than the Autoroute slog! A bit of resin on the mdf & you should be perfect... Cheers from rural Portugal!
I just purchased one of your jackets, perfect for Alberta, Canada fall and spring. Noticed it's free shipping, good options are post or any of the couriers. Just ensure my cell number is on shipping label. Thanks bud
I'm always amazed with your problem solving capabilities and as you mentioned...attention to detail. This has been a great series so far and I do look forward to the final even though I will be disappointed when this saga is over. Question for you at 18:03...oh what??

This channel is awesome. I started watching when you were rebuilding the roof of the house in France and have since looked forward to every video.
You know you're watching a good carpenter when they can solve a problem that is so hard to imagine it makes your head hurt. Mr. Carl never fails.
You are the only one of my utube channels where I wish the posts were longer.
❤

Amen to all of that. And also the (non-)clickbaity headlines 🙄
I agree and a Masterclass in how to run a Good Channel.
for MDF ceiling after installing, fiberglass it. will add strength and make it waterproof. (boat builder here)
That’s exactly what I was thinking. A single layer of fabric and some resin to fill all those kerfs. You would be both waterproof and have extra strength. And I would think a spade bit, or even just a twist drill could cut that MDF without destroying the face.
Really enjoy all the progress Carl Your project is coming together nicely.
Totally agree. Wondered when the fiberglass + resin comment would pop up?
In fact, I would have applied epoxy/vinylester before that grout and expensive (one component?) paint.
We're here because you're an absolute pleasure to watch work. The amount of effort shines clearly through.
For future reference drilling into MDF, cover the hole location with blue tape prior to drilling, drill a pilot hole to keep the self-feed tip from pulling the auger in, and run the drill backwards first to score the perimeter of the hole. Lots of work, but your results will be much improved

In the USA here. Love watching your videos.

Love that you're posting more often now.
PS: For whoever else reads the comments, I can vouch for the jackets, I got mine delivered in February or March if I remember correctly, it is great quality indeed.
I myself love the detail of your work. How long it takes is irrelevant.
Brilliant videos by a very talented person. To be applauded and supported. Returned from 4 days in Dublin today and was asked 3 times where I got my jacket. Thought I’d better get a Navy one too as I need all of the attention I can get!. Thank you and good luck.
I’ve enjoyed watching your videos the last couple of years. My father has enjoyed watching your videos as well.

Carrage bolts have a much slimmer head,no hole needed. This is not a Carrage but not too far off. Nice job on the birds mouth cuts!
I'm pretty confident everyone watching has a deep respect for the work and the results. The videos are very pleasing to watch and get absorbed in to. So much so that I want to know if the beams are finished in gloss or satin yogurt. Can't be too fussy about the finish, you know.
Hey there, best wishes fromStrathalbyn South Australia.
I really appreciate the tone and tenor of your videos and I really want you to keep committing. In today’s world you do a beautiful job countering the rubbage, commercial veneer and crap that I usually have to put up with.
This was a great video. When you were explaining how you addressed the issue of the warped beams I was totally impressed. I was thinking how you’d shamed me for all the short cuts I’ve taken in jobs I’ve done. I was awestruck by your forethought in thinking about future crafts -‘persons’ reusing your laminated beams (not just burning them). And how much time you had to indulge in the finesse. Awed I was.
Then you went and bought MDF. Ha ha, I spilt my Pino Grigio all over the cat. Honestly, I bl@@dy hate that stuff. It was good because it made me feel waaay better about myself.
Look I really appreciate how you approached the problem - in terms of flexibility and strength. You are a real logical/engineering mind and I appreciate the way you work through a problem and communicate it.
I was impressed with how you created those strong curved shells.
However, I can’t get over the fact they are MDF. Hey, my problem not yours.
My mind was going steam heated bamboo floor boards…
Whatever, I love your work and I hang out for the next release.
Mate I’d buy one of your coats but I don’t do blue. Blue and flies aren’t a good mix in Aus. Can you do a green or sand colour? I’d buy one straight up.
Good luck with the build mate. But can you have another think about the roof for the wagon?
All the best.
He used MDF for the clean look and no doubt the ease of keeping it clean. It's just decorative, not structural, to the integrity of the build.
It's because of your attention to detail that I keep coming back for more, Carl. Keep at it!
4:15- Love your tempo and films! Keep up, I can’t wait until you get back with another film and se the result.
👍 HE STICKS THE DISMOUNT THE CROWD GOES WIIIIIIILD !!!
I was thinking the same thing!
You’re right; I appreciate the level of detail and your presentation of the problems and their solutions. That, and the beautiful videography have always looking forward to seeing what’s next. Ordering a jacket now.
Same. For fuck sake....the hours of video this dude made that I've so much enjoyed. Shoulda bought those coasters too. Any more of those, CR?
Makers seeking out traditional materials and methods, with right attention to detail - I think this will always have tremendous value.
Beautiful work, as always, and always a pleasure to be taken on your journey. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing work!
I would fiberglass the MDF board.
west system epoxy
You are a magician I have been following you since you renovated the roof of the house your patience and precision is incredible a hug from an Italian who lives in Brazil my friend congratulations 👍🤗
Carl, I hope this comment is not unwelcome but BIN primer is shellac based. It’s an outstanding sealer against stains and seasonal humidity changes but it is not waterproof. If you want a water proof coating, I would put a coat or two of latex exterior paint on top of that. When I work with MDF, I like to seal it with epoxy primer. That’s about a resilient a sealer as you’ll find.
Yep I was also hoping he woud use poxy hell he could even lay some glass over it as well.
isn't epoxy primer very expensive?
I have used bin as a primer before painting , on old kitchen cabinets and doors with a mix of old wood and mdf, it is indeed excellent.
@ The epoxy primer I use might be roughly the same cost as BIN, which is also expensive. But I don’t know how the cost might compare in France.
@@jeffk7017 yea bin is between 50 to 70 a liter here. The cleaning with ammonia is a rough experience though😅
You use epoxy primer as a first coat before paint?
@ For Carl’s application where the epoxy is under a metal roof and shielded from UV exposure, I’d say that’s all you need.
Love your video style. Good explanations, without a lot of prattling on about needless stuff.
And without distracting background music
Great build series. I like your style of filming and explaining. Thanks
One of my favourite channels - great quality jackets (need to get one ordered!) for a great quality channel. Cheers
Oh gosh yes, this style is the reason we watch. I've been a watcher since you replaced the staircase. That was a great series too.
Great videos with great details. Thanks for your consistent effort and incredible work.
Excellent work Carl. Keep going.
Received my chore jacket this week in France, nice work, love it!!
Looking good Carl! As usual, your work is absolutely incredible and inspiring.
It’s coming together amazingly, look forward to trying some of the techniques on a build of my own. Well done for continuing to learn, adapt and share the positives and less positive moments of the build. Excellent choice on the trailer too, a great combo you’ve got

Wow that was a genious solution to that problem. One of the many reasons I follow you is that detailed slow and cinematography. Cheers from Bremerton WA, USA.
Great job in solving the problems. Please continue with this style of videos!
loving this series, i wish the videos never end !
Thanks for speaking about your nemesis, mine too, and I thought it was because I don’t think clearly enough during the project. I consider you to be an expert planner and thinker when it comes to any project.
Hi Carl...another great video with some neat solutions! I do love a good....and simple...jig. New jacket looks great too. Cheers, Andrew
Really no pressure just keep moving along and not let it die otherwise take your time enjoy and don't burn out on it. Make mistakes have to reverse gears all part of learning. Your videos always enjoyable.
I always look forward to your videos! Keep up the good work.
Perfection all the way. So glade that you make what you make and share this with us.
Love my chore jacket. I wear it in the shop whenever it’s not too warm
For a moment I thought you said it was €170 for two tins of that primer!
Excellent video and work as ever
I believe that's exactly what he said the total for both together was. It's expensive stuff but more than well worth it.
Muy buen trabajo, es realmente grato verte y asombroso el metodismo que despliegas para realizarlo! Un saludo desde Argentina
Beautiful work! Love to see what you do.
Yeah man, i really enjoy your style videos. Love this current project but eager to see further developments on the house.
The green MRMDF is quite good. I used it to make wainscoting in a kitchen and bathroom. The project was still looking good 6 years later when we sold the house. Good luck!
I knew before I got to the sealing of the MDF that you opted for Zinn BIN, I used the same for the MDF shelving I made for my living room and it’s bloody awesome and has sealed the MDF perfectly. It’s also a good base to paint over in one coat, I know it’s expensive but it’s worth the price especially for anything MDF related. One of the shelves was drying outside, due to it being quite smelly, anyway it started to rain and the water just beaded on top and I was able to wipe dry with no damage to the MDF 😊
Always enjoying seeing that you have posted a new video, I would keep with quality and quantity.
Magnífico trabajo. Muchas gracias!
First time I've seen the channel. Well done.
Keep up the good work, including the learning by mistakes. We all (should) do it.
The grouting float was an excellent tool upgrade, addressing your mdf filling task. Just what I was shouting at the screen when I was watching you start with a putty knife.
I'm not sure whether adding a very thin layer of (marine) ply over the top would improve waterproofing?
Love the chore jacket; my wife is getting me one for Christmas (she doesn't know that yet, but when it arrives I will let her know).
*Cool* solution Carl
Great work again, thanks for sharing.
6:30 I love your making this with future people in mind.
Would love one of those jackets in dark green!
04:10 ... Absolutely !
Amazing work! And love my jacket by the way. I’ve sent others to your site.
Some very impressive work that you do
Good job, my dear Carl. Congrats.
That ferry to Santander is fabulous...more a cruise & so much better than the Autoroute slog!
A bit of resin on the mdf & you should be perfect...
Cheers from rural Portugal!
I just purchased one of your jackets, perfect for Alberta, Canada fall and spring. Noticed it's free shipping, good options are post or any of the couriers. Just ensure my cell number is on shipping label. Thanks bud
Holes are definitely my nemesis 😂 Great video, Carl 👍🙌
Your videos are great. I love the problem solving.
I'm always amazed with your problem solving capabilities and as you mentioned...attention to detail. This has been a great series so far and I do look forward to the final even though I will be disappointed when this saga is over. Question for you at 18:03...oh what??
