I love the comment about thinking ahead as he is laying out the boards that are just a bit too long... hehe...
Q-Hack! My irony knows no shame,
i was thinking that as he was laying it out. a true man, will admit to his mistakes and learn from em, Cody is always good at that!
wranglerstar Seems I do this a lot. I outsmart myself. LOL
Been there many times...almost impossible to talk with someone and do carpentry at the same time.
wranglerstar gotta love those boneheads mistakes that never would have happened if the camera wasn't running...
Love the fact that you didn't edit that out, probably the biggest reason yours is my favorite channel. I hope Jack really learns to appreciate the work involved.
I like how your not afraid to show your mistakes. You could simply edit it out or do a retake and no one would know it ever happened. Its stuff like that that give me hope that I can do these projects as well. If a mistake is made fix it and move on. I follow your videos and every time I watch I have a new project lined up or a new tool to add to my list to keep my eye out for in second hand stores. Thank you so much for what you do.
I have to commend you on sharing your mistake with the door. Seriously; that takes a humbled person. Great looking fort so far; can't wait to see the finish product with the wrangler star flare!
Amen to your comments at 2:50 about thinking ahead to anticipate what's needed next. That's one of my favorite attributes in an apprentice.
he didnt anticipate them fancy 45's getting in the way and had to edit out the 90 cut.
and i anticipate some kid tripping over that handle and off the tree house!!!
This is probably my favorite series on your channel. You give a lot of good advice/information.
hey ,i totally seen that coming,tried to tell you,and TOTALLY RESPECT you for not editing that out.alot of people would.not to be deceptive,just out of embarrassment,good form my man,...good form
Thanks for leaving the mistakes in these last two videos. It nice seeing other able to laugh off a mistake and not getting upset. Great work so far on the tree house, I wist I had one that nice as a boy. Hope to see you continue to build these memories for you and your family.
The fact that you do not edit out the "boo boos" says a lot about your level of humility Cody. The little things like that are the reason I keep watching.Thanks for the great videos but also thanks for being a fine example of humanity.
i must say, i had a pretty good chuckle when you tried to lay that door in and the 2x4's hit the ledger. It's the kind of thing we all do from time to time. Glad you left it in the video. And nothing bothers me more then to look up at a guy on the job expecting a tool and seeing a blank stare, even when we've done the same routine 1000 times. Keep up the good work.
I do appreciate seeing the whole process, including mistakes. It lets me know I am not the only one who does them. It also allows me something to look for in my own work! : )
I grew up watching a program called "This old house" with my mom and dad.... it is what got me interested in this sort of thing... built a "Fort" (tree house with no tree), A shed, and a martial-arts training deck (with 1/8 space over the pylons for bounce) with my dad.... This video reminded me of that show... guess that is why your my favorite you-tuber... you truly are an inspiration... look forward to the next videos!
Loving the series so far. Thank you for sharing it with us!
Thanks for the quality series Cody, I'm really enjoying it!
Can't wait for the next one!!
I caught that mistake early on. I was wishing we were live so I could tell you. As always Cody, Thanks for your work. For sharing your lives with us. It truly is inspirational.
haha, I was chuckling when I saw the layout on the door braces and they were going to hit the ledger. almost lost it when u started gluing it!! glad u kept it in the video!! we've all been there.
I love that you can show you're mistakes. That it's okay not to have all the answers, all the time. It's all part of the experience. Makes me feel like a friend along for the ride. LOL
Honest when you make a genuine mistake ..... makes your videos worth every moment... It was admittedly an easy mistake to make, watching I spotted it immediately but I assure you I'm guilty of many the same style of mistake! Kudos to you for yet again showing the honest side of being a real life Dad!
Love the video. Especially when you talked about thinking ahead and then tried to close the door. I laughed because it reminded me of EVERY project I work on. :) Thanks for sharing.
This is a really great series. thank you!!
I think it is great that the mistakes are not edited out. Real life in action....Thanks Cody!
Have you tried the impact drills? They are the cats meow! If you haven't yet you should consider one, makes things so much easier plus you get longer life out of your bits and the screws go deeper!
Great video and thanks for sharing. Just received a gransfors bruks axe from Rutabaga Paddle Sports and gave you an honorable mention because of some of great reviews on the forrest axe and others. Thanks again from Texas.
My best teacher in the trade told me in my first year: "The best apprentice will be ready with the tool or material BEFORE I even realize I need it. Be that apprentice." He was right, and you too are right about that. Solid looking tree house. I love how you build everything so heavy-duty. Great series
Nice work Cody! Although I did laugh as you were closing the trap door and the 2x4s were too long. Brought back memories of similar events when I'm building and distracted. You have a lot going on with building and filming. Thanks for the videos!
Love it! Carpenter by trade. Carpenters don't just stick frame buildings they are always thinking of new and interesting ways to create. You have the mind of a carpenter. I was laughing as I knew that door wasn't going to fit, that moment when you want to tell someone but you can't :)
Like the real man and not editing out the every day road blocks!
Thank you Cody from your videos! Im learn so much from you!!
Great series. Thank you. Not many people build things that will last these days.
I was wondering how that hatch was going to close with those 45s in the way. Great video series! Love how you keep it real!
I love the way you problem solve as you work. Showing us the mistakes and how you fix them. thanks.
I was screaming to the screen when I saw you lay out the cross members. Then I saw you grab the glue and knew then you didnt think that one through. I love the fact that you kept a civil tongue when it didnt work. One of the things I admire about you. That is one of my sinful short comings in life I would have not been as calm.
Wonderful video! I like that you keep the mistakes in, shows we're still human.
I enjoy watching your videos. You make mistakes like me and you are a big enough man to leave them in the video. I have some days that just is like swimming against the current and when I get home and watch these videos, I realize that the best carpenters and framers also have their moments of being human also.
the fact that you build in songs from "the national" and other really enjoyable interprets into your videos gives me such a good feeling. I love your videos, I love your taste for music and what you do. Actually there are no words to express my joy while watching wranglerstar on youtube :). May luck, happiness and joy be always at your side (and to all of the other nice people around there) ..sorry for my "name" ..I know it's terrible :D
I love the two-at-a-time format for this series.
love the series great job
That's going to be a piece of art when its finished.
Nice work
And "think ahead"
Haha! Nice. I was thinking the whole time those 45s weren't going to fit with the ledger. Then I saw you put the glue on and I knew the deal was sealed. Oh well, easy enough to run that worm drive over them one more time thankfully ;) nice work wranglerstar it's coming together nicely.
Ha! I saw that trap door problem coming as you were laying those braces down. I was wondering if it would be edited out though. Nice job on the tree house so far. Looks like it'll be there for as long as that tree is standing.
Cool. This has been fun, thanks.
Being a carpenter, I am loving all the little old school nuances in this series. Cody, just wondering if you have ever used the old all metal, top handle circular Rockwell saws like the 315? Those are probably the only saws I can think of to compare to the MAG series worms.
looking good! can't wait for the next installment :-)
Thank you for leaving the beautiful 45° piece in. We're all human and your building as you go. Simple mistake, easily fixed. Good on ya.
Btw, nice 25mm chisel...
+wranglerstar I like the story of you working with your dad, and learning to think ahead, and learning to be prepared with what's going to be needed next. I had a job working for a general contractor during college and I learned a bunch of useful tricks on how to do things. Now that I think about it, the most useful thing I learned was to "think". He taught me to plan out my actions and how the future of the project will be affected by my actions now. I haven't had another carpentry type job since ( IT degree), but I have learned the art of critical thinking...something school doesn't really teach you.
To make a flush handle try routing a deep oval using a dove tail bit, the undercut made by the angled bit will give you enough purchase to open it and it's in keeping with the design. Make sure you drill the bulk out with a forsner bit because a dovetail bit is difficult to plunge into the wood. I've used this technique to make drawer handles. All the best with the project!
really appreciate how you show the mistake in the door.. much respect
You speak of your grandfather all the time, but I was starting to assume your father wasn't much of a presence in your life, since I don't recall you ever mentioning him before. Nice to know he was there for you, growing up!
Outstanding episode.... Not to side with Popular Mechanics but I have found that standard circular saws will do 99% of the time, especially with today's outstanding blades. However there are some tools that are just satisfying to use and own, that's where the worm-drive saws win out. =]
I wouldn't give my DeWalt mag case because I don't have a shop crane to lift a gear drive! ;)
Thanks for keeping it real!
Cody, if you have time you can always try the Rube Goldberg approach when coming up with a way to pull and hold the trap door open. I liked your idea about the window weight or something like that.
I saw the door mistake coming and kept questioning myself if Cody was making a mistake or was I looking at it wrong. Good man of you to show the error on video.
Cody... I just love what your able to do for jack jack. I am in hope to do a project for me and mine. Im flying solo at the moment. What are some of your safety concerns and preventions when working alone? Keep up the Good work.
Idk u and you dont know me but im really enjoying ur video series of making a tree house for your son its super interesting and when I've got a job an my own home with land ill build one for my kids thanks for the inspiration 💯🙌
The popular mechanics article mentioned
"HE WORM-DRIVE MYSTIQUE
Saws with the motor parallel to the blade transfer power through a 90-degree turn. Most of these use a worm drive -- a gear design that reduces blade speed and increases torque. (Makita uses hypoid gears.) Worm drives are known for unstoppable power, but the tradeoff is a heavier, unbalanced tool with a higher price. If you know a carpenter who uses a worm drive, don't argue with him -- he's probably stronger than you are."
No one mention of manliness, but in strength it requires to run them and that circular saws are much easier to handle...
krodista A perfect example of revisionist history and selective memory,
wranglerstar we are all, in fact, only human
Have used worm drive saws for over 40 years...they are NOT unbalanced, especially if you're right handed. With experience you learn to use the extra weight to your advantage. By tipping the near side of the board up, the weight of the saw will feed itself through the cut...a circular saw must be pushed. Also, the added length of the saw makes cutting across a 4' sheet of plywood much easier. As for higher cost, I'm still using my Craftsman which is at least 25 years old...and as I am a contractor, it has seen A LOT of use and abuse. No circular saw can top that.
David Dube HA! We are not defined by our saws, David. Your worker's elbow is evidence enough that you are "man enough".
my shop uses a ryobi circular saw (I can't help but imagine it breaking in the near future--sorry ryobi!), but I far prefer to haul out the old dino makita worm drive from the tool closet. much better in my opinion, way more balanced.
Your absolutely right about kids these day not thinking on their own. anticipating the next move of the lead tech is how an apprentice can rise the ranks while gaining respect. I teach heating and air conditioning at a trade school in CT and very few students can actually think on their own. Its one of the things we talk about frequently.
2:50 ish, I have a career in one of the trades and our really quality young workers really truly stand out when they pay attention and jump to grab a tool, tidy things up during any moment of downtime, expect when more material needs to be grabbed. It's a world of difference between those guys and the ones who stand around waiting to be told what to do.
Nice work Cody, would have loved to help out and learn a few things. I've been through a few "think ahead" only to end up having to re cut. Unlike many videos out there, you are man enough to show a mistake. That's Character.
Cody you are doing great! I have been talking and trying to explain something and make very similar mistakes. Minds seldom alllow us to do two things at once without reminding us.
Wow. There is some rare quality Wranglerstar. Sharing a mistake with the world and showing how to recover.
I have to think, I make those kinds of errors in framing and my hobbies all the time. Would -I- have included it in a video? I'd like to think so ....
I think the best part of this video is that you left that little mistake in. Most people would not have been honest enough to leave that in the video. Anyone who judges you based off of that has obviously never made a mistake...
hey man, heard you talking about skillsaws in the video, if you havent, try the hitachi, i use it at work. love your videos!
i must apologizei was very closed minded when this series started im scared of heights so why did i need to watch a video on treehouses but im glade i have been some great lessons to be learned here nice video
Excellent progress.... looks great... too bad about those 45 degree cuts, they looked nice!
Can't lie i was a chuckling as you layed that out and talked about thinking ahead i was saying to myself thats not goin to fit. You still could put the45's on those boards a little tougher cut but doable.
I love that your human like me. I was talking to the screen the whole time while you attached the 2x4's! Lol!
Saw the problem coming. It is good to see the warts and all. Even the best people make mistakes.
my comment on the worm drive saws is this I am 14 years old and my dad is a professional carpenter and he tought me to use power tools and other than the weight of a mag 77 they are not that bad and I believe that any one with the proper instruction could run one safely thanks for the videos cody
What's your take on drywall screws for wood? I've used them for a long time as a general purpose screw because they have such a meaty grip, both fine and coarse thread.
Saw that error coming but I was also sure that u fix it in a flash moment:) greetings from Sweden !
I have those same tool bags, the green Occidental Leather. The best set of bags I have ever owned.
Wow! That flooring is made of beautiful wood? What type wood is that?
Thank you, Tom W, from Indiana
Do we have the same dad ? From the description you gave it sure sounded like my dad, a carpenter, working mule and always going on about how you have to think ahead!
Does your saw allow you to adjust the depth of cut? If so, couldn't you have just moved the 45s over toward the center enough to clear the ledgers, possibly without removing the two boards?
When it comes to driving 2" or longer screws I use toilet bowl wax seal as a dip coating to help screws drive in to wood and doubles drill battery run time. Also I usually have the speed square edge on top of wood instead of bottom since the longer trailing end allows for more support when starting cut and for me the non saw hand naturally holds speed square with my body weight to firmly hold square while cutting since green wood doesn't slide over saw as smooth.
The usefulness of wax seals never ceases to amaze me.
Thank you for leaving in the "bonehead" mistake ... maybe there's hope for me yet, since I make them all the time! Keep up the honest videos, much appreciated.
I already own a Skilsaw but was thinking about getting a professional Dewalt as well...if I find one used I may pick one up.
LOL, like others, I was talking to the screen, saying "Wait, you didn't leave space for the ledgers!" I am sure we have all built something, put it in place and realize it conflicts with something else, put our hammer down, sat back and said, "Ah, fudge" (or something a tad more colourful!). Watching it unfold, I was just shaking my head. We have all been there.
Also, watching this series I get the sneaky suspicion, you are building the treehouse you wish you could have had as a kid. I always wanted one and never had one. The one you are building for Jack is far better than anything a kid could build, but it will last a very long time. Perhaps Jack Jr. will play in it when he visits his grandparents :)
I'm loving this series Cody now my boys want a tree house only thing is our trees are new we moved to divide farm land 2 1/2 acres so my son turtle said why can't we just replant a full grown tree in our yard 30min. Later he gets why. So we will be going with a fort type structure by the way, they were good looking 45s.
How about a stilt fort
Just wondering about the cross grain growth and shrink of your trap door through the seasons and how it will fit. Since you are working in the least humidity (winter time) then I might expect the door to expand. I know you have screws holding and yet, there might be a concern there. Perhaps a space between the boards and a single screw in the center, so they can expand and shrink (they are green now right?). Nice work as always.
It is dry-ish right now, but that Home Depot wood is so wet you can wring it out like a dish towel. It'll shrink a good amount even compared to the most humid time of year.
Pacific Northwest, it IS the wet season... Summer is the dry season around here haha.
Yes..................Always think ahead.
Glad you don't edit you mistakes just shows where all human. To be a good carpenter you have to know how to fix things. Anybody can do it a good carpenter knows to fix it. Keep up the vids good job
Great looking strong tree house. You can still use a hand saw and cut short 45's on those braces and they'll look kinda like your main support beams ends.
4:10 when you puts the door in and realizes the cross pieces hit the ledger ... when you were first screwing those cross pieces on, I thought to myself "I guess those are going to go on top of the door, because there's no way that's going to fit with those ledgers". :) I guess we were both wrong. Haha.
When he was putting the glue I thought, "Oh God don't glue it!"
Still awesome. Is Jack excited?
Cudos for leaving in the oh s#it moment, I have at least one of those a day.
You have to be able to laugh at yourself.
anticipation, I was taught that by bricklayers when I was a young pup. It works for all the trades. Now we pass the same message to the youngsters.
Circle of life.
Thank you for filming the "bone-head" move with the 45's!!!! I'm not the only one! The details you go into with your tools, tricks of the trade, and your reasoning, are hard to find on RUclips.
If I'm being honest, I'll probably start with a standard circular saw. I've used them a few times before, and they're plenty challenging for a career software developer like myself who's taking on finishing his basement as his first major DIY project! haha
For the Handle you could use something like an Adam Hall 34082, love your Videos
i was waiting for you to realise that those 45s weren't going to fit. You sure are right about anticipating the next step or the next tool in need I keeps you on your toes and shows whoever you're working with that you're not asleep on the job.
For the handle i would sugest a recessed rope threaded through the piece?
Hey you should do a rope opening mechanism for the trap door, where you pull the rope and it opens. it would look cool and easy to use.
cool!
On that portion about good Carpenter and thinking ahead.
Over years i worked with my Dad on the job site and that is what he taught me. He started me at a young age and that's what i did. I followed him around getting his cutting area set up before he needed, having power cord ran for his saw. Basically do everything i could so when he was ready move to a different part of the house it was ready to go. But now that i moved on to my own career he just can not find anyone that knows/will do that. Its his Definition of a good worker. He had men work for him that been on job for 20 years and still can not do that.
4:50 I was waiting for that moment of realisation xD
What about a spring to keep it from slamming shut? It would work much like the weight system, but the "weight" will be in the spring. It will stay shut when fully closed, but will stay open and open easier when opened past an inch or so. Would be easy to implement, and have seen it used on hatches before.
Cody, I knew you couldn't resist using the glue. I was waiting to see if you would use it. No doubt it will strengthen the door.
you could embed a neodymium magnet in the door and the wall to hold it open. it would take a whole lot less effort and have a very strong hold on it. it wouldnt stop it from falling if it were to slip from their hand after pulling it away from the wall though.
The old man sounds like my pops. His reasoning behind the 5:30pm lunch was eating slows you down and the hunger keeps you motivated. Love that old grumpy basterd always had a good joke.
