Your videos are the most comprehensive instruction videos any where. The animations are also the best. I have a question regarding the curved pieces: will they split? Cutting a curve in a piece of wood makes a short grain line from edge to edge. I would worry most about the location of the birds mouth cut. With that being said, after five years they seemed to have survived. Great video.
Thank you very much for your kind words and support! I really appreciate that. I have added some recent photos of the pergola at the end of my blog post here: manabouttools.com/build-a-curved-cedar-pergola/
They were taken in November which is not the most flattering time for pictures but, they show how the structure is weathering.
@@MANaboutTOOLS Was there any type of sealer put on the wood? Would this have possibly prevented some of the cracking?
This is an amazing build..! And the plans makes me want to build one already since their so well explained! You deserve a 👍 for sure and a follow! Looking forward to see and learn more from you! Very skilled crafter! 🔨 📐✏💪
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
That WR Cedar is so nice to work with, and it looks great when stained. I just finished a project and built it with cedar decking from lows, very economical.
I’m a woodworker in Ghana west Africa and I love and admire your craftsmanship sir. Salute 🫡
It's a cold, wet miserable March Sunday morning here in England. Your video was just the tonic I needed. I can't wait for the weather to improve, I can't wait to get out there with my tools. I'm 61 now but still get excited about creating things with wood. It was the same 45 + years ago making tree camps with my dads tools.
Love the video, thanks for going to the trouble of making it.
Thank you very much! Cheers from Vancouver Island!
VERY NICE- THIS WAY MAKE EASY TO LEARN ! THANK YOU ! I LIKE THIS WAY !
Amazing, I was looking for instruction on arched pergola roof and yours was exactly what I wanted your description and instruction is first class thank you.
Beautiful work.
It's refreshing to see a carpenter who knows what he's doing on RUclips.
This video was superbly helpful to show me a reliable way to bore the 20-degree-from-90 lag holes in the curved braces. The rest of the layout steps were great too but the drill layout helped me actually understand it. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Cheers!!
No questions here, but I've gotta say, I love that design and the quality of workmanship!
Such a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work!
I AM A RETIRED CARP BUT I LIKE YOUR SHOW VERY MUCH, THANKS
Brilliant animation.
Came here to say that, so thumbs up..
Thanks for sharing with metric measurements for countries using metric system. Love your videos by the way.
You are very welcome!!
You are the best in terms of explaining and diagraming everything out
I'm used to watching loooooong videos by Wood By Wright, Matt Estlea, hffcom, ILTMS, and others. If your vids end up an hour long, so be it. I'll watch it to the end.
excellent. i will try this in the next few weeks. I have an elderly couple who were looking to get this done.
Great now i need thousands of dollars worth of tools and decades of carpentry experience to do this awesome project!
Wow, I would love this in my yard. Beautiful
Hermoso trabajo felicidades 👏👏👏👏 saludos desde Tehuacán Puebla México 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👏👏👍
that was very soothing to watch!
Thanks. I'm another old guy that likes to see quality construction.
You know what you’re doin, that’s for sure.
beautifull work. and thanks for not makeing its to short and sped up. ❤
Once again, pure class.
Nice pergola. Not something I'll be building, but your video gave me some ideas. I bought a used gazebo made of metal. One those you get from Amazon or some place. Has no top but has the side curtains. I want some the roofing that lets sunlight come through but not rain. I like sitting out side in the rain but don't care for getting wet unless I'm taking a shower. lol. Anyway, good video.
Thank you
Not sure about your pin alignment system although it might prevent lateral movement it offers no uplift protection. I would recommend using any type of post base connector of which there are many. I do like using rough cut wrc on all my hard scape projects it’s a little pricey but you can’t beat the look and workability. Thanks from Atlanta Georgia
Very nicely done.
Yes. Excellent work. A very pleasing design. Thank you.
nice idea to have a water tank underneath!
That is a beautiful job, and my wife just walked by and commented too - I think she is now planning the best location in our garden as I type !! However, the chances of getting 6x6 or 12x2 cedar, in the UK at a cost effective price are almost non-existent, so I'll just sigh and admire your wonderful craftmanship. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Best video ever, your explanation is so clear make it easy understand, Thank you for sharing
You use nicer wood for patterns than I use for finished projects
this video was so relaxing - loved the pace, great content!
Thank you so much!
Looks great! I built a similarly styled pergola in 2013, but elected to use a router with bearing bit to make my rafters. Works extremely well, especially if you’re making a pattern with some height to catch the bearing.
I love long videos is where you learn more from a good teacher thank you for your time I’ll keep on following maybe someday I could build something nice as this at home👍👍up
Quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Wow!! Absolutely great work!!!
Safety precautions for power tools important! Great video.
Love your videos and channel... you have inspired me to get back to work as soon as possible. GRACIAS, AMIGO! Made my day!
Awesome I loved it can’t wait to start building my in the Near future
Спасибо большое за размеры в мм! С огромным удовольствием смотрю все ваши видео! Thank you very much for the dimensions in mm! I watch all your videos with great pleasure!
a few more videos and I will learn this imperial system :)
You are perfect in every way.
Very good vedio from start to finish
Beautiful job.
спасибо что используете метрическую систему)))
Beautiful pergola. And yes it does look like an upside down boat frame which I as an amateur boat builder find very pleasing. It also looks like a Roma caravan. Excellent step by step video and great narration. Thank you so much.
7 minutes in the video and I really like the presentation. Really nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work! Do you use your own SketchUp 'Style' or which SKP Style do you use for your 3D models and construction drawings? The animation is nicely done too so thanks for sharing!
Very informative and very good explanation. Good job .
Nicely done.
Really nice. Thanks.
Thank you too!
It's simply beautiful.
Thanks! I'm really happy with this project.
Wonderful speaking voice and narration.
Thanks!
I want to build this....will do it next year...
Awesome instructions. Thank you so much!
Great video. Excellent step by step instructions. Plenty of great tips for the design and angles.
I am about to build a pergola over our hot tub and this video will definitely help. I was originally going to glue strips of wood to create the rafters but I prefer this method. I also plan to coat the rafters with expoxy and use the Lichenberg method for more detail. Not sure if I will tint the expoxy. I may also I plan to add some privacy lattice between the 2x4's and the curved rafters for further weather proctection.
Excellent!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Looks great
excellent, i will try your method
Awesome skills and I love the video.
excellent work 👍👌
Brilliant. I love the wood you used, though I think it would cost an arm and a leg in the UK
English oak is probably more expensive for him than that cedar is for you
Fantastic demo on this nice work
Very nice I love a well build arbor.
Dude!, you Rock!!!!🥌
Thanks!!
I agree with Paul, Beautiful work! Greatly appreciated.
Excellent quality work and the video is outstanding. Clear in picture and word, animations are very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks!

Nicely done sir, Thank you.
Thank you kindly!
Very nice! The pace of the instruction and level of detail is just right for me. I also appreciate the alternative tools you mention. Thanks.
Yep!
wow, thank you for this video. everything is explained in soo much detail.
You are very welcome! I appreciate your support!
Man this is great!
Thanks David!
Great video. Just subscribed. Greetings from Hermosillo.
It was a long video but worth it. I don’t think I’ll ever build a pergola like this but watching your workflow was very educational. Time well spent and thanks for sharing so much detail about your process. 👍
I'm hooked on your channel. Thanks so much for your great work!
This is beautiful work! Easy to follow directions if someone wants to build it too, although wood prices are through the roof lately, so maybe by next summer?
Thank you very much!
@@MANaboutTOOLS I can't imagine what you paid for 12" wide WRC boards!? Luckily the client paid, but DAMN!
I tried to do similar curves with a bandsaw last night but my cuts were way off the mark. I’m used to this and I didn’t mind having to sand, except I was using 1/4” plywood and it gummed up the belts right away and was so difficult that I don’t even want to use it. It was only the first of 7, so I figured I can scrap it and try something else before I get too deep into it. I’m redesigning the whole thing so that I can use hemlock instead.
I honestly thought that plywood would help me keep the cost down and be a breeze to cut. I haven’t started on the hemlock yet but it’s much lighter weight and seems like decent wood. I’ll do one before I commit and then use the first one as a template for the rest of them if I like it.
Not only this video was well done but it gave me ideas for my future gazebo that I'm planning to build this summer. Thank you so much ;)
I really enjoyed the effort of this vidéo and got some great idées. Thank you.
Great video impressive work thanks you for sharing
Is it possible to make the pergola in wider opening of 3 meters of 3.5 meters?
Kent, very nice information and presentation. The result is fantastic. See and issue substituting 5-inch cedar posts for the 6-inch?
Do you have any information on the cistern? For example, how water is collected and extracted from this system and any maintenance requirements?
Solid work...
Thank you very much!
Excelente 👏👍👍CDMX.
Great job God bless.
Brilliant and very informative. Hooked and subbed. Regards Paul
Love the build and has given me many ideas. One thing I find myself getting in trouble with when watching these videos - the speed at which cuts are made with jigsaw/bandsaw/etc. My head knows they are sped up clips; but when I get down to the actual cut myself I get off line or worse I get my blade 'bent' trying to cut too fast. LoL
thank you for sharing your skills with us...it is quite a beautiful pergola...i can only imagine the cost of the timber....
Thank you very much! It depends on where you live. Red Cedar here on the west coast is not too bad.
Very Nice !
Thanks Fred!
Awesome video and the length is just fine! Great plan and it was right to the point .Thanks so much for being a pro ..
Love it
Loved your video, instruction I'd top shelf. I also liked that you took the time to show braces were made. Lots of videos don't take the time to show how make the templates.
