~14:30 "...it will all become clear as it becomes clear to me" I plan on using that on my wife just about every other day! Love your channel and the content. Rock on.
Me: Struggling with a flat pack kitchen. Kris: Just casually building an entire town with his bare hands and insane joinery skills Top man. I'm in absolute awe.
Everything I look at I’ve watched you build; the workshop, the workbench, the “saw horses”. It’s quite remarkable Kris; few can say I built everything you see here, by hand. Great stuff.
It really does look good! Anyone can cut a tree down, but making something that really fits together well is a whole other story all together. Greetings, Jeff
You're an amazing wood worker Chris, but even more, you're a natural teacher. I hope once you've got your plot of land to your satisfaction, you consider opening up a little craftsman's workshop to teach others some of these skills in person.
My Granddad used to say ‘You’re as helpful as a chalk-flickers mate’ lol, was so nice to see it being done and reminded me of him. You guys are working so hard and the outcome is beautiful! Well done!!
Thanks for showing and explaining the details. The hard work you're doing is teaching everyone how it should be done and gives us all the more reason to be impressed with the results.
You teach a lot,, for me anyways. and confidence at the top of the list. I'm trying to build a 28' x38' timber frame two story with clear story. It's a shop studio. Just calculating the board ft. Is a days work that can send me spinning. watching you helps to make it all possible. THANK YOU!
So nice to come in from work and watch a man build a frame,using gigs he made himself.love your channel and your enthusiasm for what you are building.makes me want to get my new big Christel out. 😊
Oh my Gosh! You have accomplished so much, in less than four years!No mortgage! Pretty neat!!😀👌You know, Jesus , started off as a carpenter! Great things ahead for you!
Chris you always impress me with all of you hard work. Your big bag of skills keep growing all the time. I truly love watching your channel. You do so impress me.
Superb video as usual, Kris. I love the detail you show us. Why is it that doing simple things well requires so much craft, so much work, so much attention, and is so not obvious? Daunting.
Hi. I’ve always noticed that you are a real Artist but when you need to make sure everything is perfect that’s how an Artist is for anything they do and that’s you. Love your videos. Thanks 👍🥰 🏠 🇨🇦
One of my favorite parts of my job was making jigs when you are making the same thing constantly, or even needing 20 of the same, its worthy of a jig, those logs look great, nice to be working with some decent timber
@@ServiceTrek Yes, and go one step further and whilst the logs are secure you could also cut the shoulders so you know they are parallel with each end, you could pretty much do the whole log in a jig so all cuts line up with the rest, Ive always said prep work is the most important step in any kind of work
Thanks kris for the wind brace detail. It’s also my nemesis and the books give very little details. I have 2 more to do and I’m determined to follow your methods. Looks incredible
👍👌👏 Very well done again! Great jigs by the way. Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health to all of you.
I have just seen you hold a peace of wood with your hand to prevent split out while drilling a hole for a peg. If you do that often enough you will drill a hole in your hand or worse. How do I know, because I’ve done it! I was doing just what you were doing except I was alone at sea in a boat. The wood I was holding split and the 1/2 inch drill bit found the palm of my hand. I wish it just when straight through, but it didn’t, it got hold of the small bones in my hand and twisted my wrist in a way that caused the bit to put itself up into my wrist. I can tell you that will make your eyes water. The bit was now stuck and my hand was pined to the wood I was working on. I was alone an bleeding badly. It was really hard to think straight in the moment so the only thing I could think of was to put the drill into revers a slowly spin it out of my hand. Thankfully I had a very good first aid kit on the boat and was able to stop the bleeding. I made passage to shore and then to hospital. In the end I was fortunate to got back the full use of my hand. I am very very lucky. Why tell you this. It should be obvious, DON’T DO IT. instead think up a way that will show people like me how to avoid this mistake. The surgeon who worked on my had told me I wasn’t the first person he had to work on and sadly he expected to do many more surgeries on hands with holes drilled in them. Hope this is useful and not seen as negative.
Christ that sounds sore! Kris can obviously please himself, but your comment is useful for folks like me who would totally do that move rather than reach for the obvious solution of a couple of clamps to hold the sacrificial piece in place! I'll think twice about it next time I'm in the situation.
@@ianwidger7905 actually yes I did, I just put it in reverse, bit down on a chunk of 2x4 and pulled the trigger.... the thing was i was setting up batter boards and talking to a helper...... so it went through the corner of the 2x and into my knuckle...
Your explanation of how to find centre line through roundwood/curved timber is the clearest and most informative that I've seen. Speaking as someone who has training in cabinet-making, wooden boat building and joinery. Thank you. I am however very distressed that no-one in these videos is wearing a hi-viz tabard... =;-))
These are the videos I am personally here for. Exploratory learning with experimentation & mostly for the order of operations. Knowing most of the steps but not so much the order to do them is daunting at least. The Chain Mortiser when used right is a joy to use & gives nearly final fit cuts. Minor pearing cuts to finish out the mortise.
This is so incredibly helpful! I had knocked together a quick and dirty version of the box jig for getting the tenons marked and you've confirmed for me that I was on the right track. The fact that the brace came out looking right also helped ;) Now I need to get with it and make a durable, accurate version of both jigs. I've got thirty two wind braces to place in our frame ;)
Kris, Thankyou!,after reading Bens book on roundwood timber framing.I too found the detail on mortised windbraces lacking.Now you have completed the puzzle for me!.Cheers bud!
You do timber framing quite quickly from what I’ve seen. Nobody I know can even DO timber framing, let alone do it quickly. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us along for the journey!
Amazing video Kris. Perfectly timed too as I am about to take on my first round wood framing job. To be honest your channel has been a great inspiration for us to make the jump. We are now loving off grid in west Clare. Keep up the vids mate they are awesome!
Hi sir you got the skills to do this kind of work nothing els for to enjoy it and see how hard work it is but very nice work see you next time have a good day
Me: On my back with headache and chronically ill. Kris: Builds 2 fantastic medieval gallows structures in what feels like 35 minutes without even breaking a sweat.
Shiver my timbers! it's Friday and Kris does not disappoint.
Twice!
~14:30 "...it will all become clear as it becomes clear to me" I plan on using that on my wife just about every other day! Love your channel and the content. Rock on.
“Rock on” Really !?
Me: Struggling with a flat pack kitchen.
Kris: Just casually building an entire town with his bare hands and insane joinery skills
Top man. I'm in absolute awe.
So true! :-D
not bare hands he has alot of tools dude! :P
Very sane
You can use a bigger hammer
only commenting for youtube algorythm, nothing new to say, always impressed and entertained
The sound of the timber twang is very satisfying. Thanks Kris for sharing your mastery.
You've spoilt us today kris with 2 awesome videos.
I love hearing the rain hitting the roof of your workshop Kris
Everything I look at I’ve watched you build; the workshop, the workbench, the “saw horses”. It’s quite remarkable Kris; few can say I built everything you see here, by hand. Great stuff.
It really does look good!
Anyone can cut a tree down, but making something that really fits together well is a whole other story all together.
Greetings,
Jeff
I can't cut a tree down.
Thanks for going so much into detail, Kris! Much respect for what you're building, not just your homestead, but this community also! Cheers
The scaled mock-up of the timber frame decision helped for understanding the roof change. Thanks!
They’ll be part of his museum someday.
Your craftsmanship and approach really inspires me to up my game - THANK YOU
Craftmanship- nailed it. Artful, design eye- impeccable. 👍👍
Wow another great video of you applying your brilliant problem solving. When you say it’s difficult to us mortals near impossible. Respect👍🏻
‘It will all become clear as it becomes clear to me ´ love it ! 😆
You sir are a true craftsman! 100 years from now people are going to be scratching there heads trying to figure out how your building was been built.
I'm happy you did it the old fashion way without screws. You can do it! And your gig is an awesome tool.
So, a round peg into a square hole works, nice. 👍👍😁😁
You have to have a lot of time and patience to do this. Very clever to know how to work such magic with wood.
👍 Danke fürs Hochladen!
👍 Thanks for uploading!
👍 Very good and beautiful, thank you!
👍 Sehr gut und schön, danke!
Yet another masterclass in working with wood....encore master craftsman...brilliant video's
Love it when you say here is a scale model and that in itself is a work of art.
A good contribution to human knowledge
You have every reason to be pleased with your building skills, I think you are brilliant.
I just love watching y’all make beautiful things! 👍👍👍💯💯💯
Such attention to detail. Remarkable.
Getting rid of the dreads has taken 10 years off your age. Much love legend.
chain saw for trim work: EXCELLENT

Hi Kris, you put more effort into the work shop than most people would into their home, 💖
Thanks for showing and explaining the details. The hard work you're doing is teaching everyone how it should be done and gives us all the more reason to be impressed with the results.
I’ve always been fascinated by woodwork and the techniques that go into it. I would love to do this kind of stuff especially out if natural material.
Absolutely fascinating! I love how you explain everything and your reasoning behind your decisions.
Salude from Brazil. Great work. I'm enjoying it!!!!
You teach a lot,, for me anyways. and confidence at the top of the list. I'm trying to build a 28' x38' timber frame two story with clear story. It's a shop studio. Just calculating the board ft. Is a days work that can send me spinning. watching you helps to make it all possible. THANK YOU!
Those bracing joints were top drawer Kris, great work as usual and thanks for the progress update. Well done.
i was away on a sailing vacation last week. just noticed the haircut. clean cut. i'm not ready to cut my covid hair yet myself.
YES another Kris Harbour video, automatic like, sit back and enjoy my lunch. Cheers!
So nice to come in from work and watch a man build a frame,using gigs he made himself.love your channel and your enthusiasm for what you are building.makes me want to get my new big Christel out. 😊
I was on life support 2 wks. ago in the hospital. Back to watching the 'good' yt channels.
🙂✌❤
Glad you're back - peace!
👋🏼🙏🏻❤️🐨🇦🇺
Still, you amaze me with your skill and fortitude with every video!
Amazing viewing. Watched 5 today already.
Oh my Gosh! You have accomplished so much, in less than four years!No mortgage!

Chris you always impress me with all of you hard work. Your big bag of skills keep growing all the time. I truly love watching your channel. You do so impress me.

This is the very place to come when one wants some calm and escape from this crazy world
Another great job.
Can't wait for more videos. 👍👍👍

yeah, the jig looks like it worked well. maybe some kind of screw clamps could be added to secure the logs in place before making the cuts.
@@ServiceTrek Yes, and go one step further and whilst the logs are secure you could also cut the shoulders so you know they are parallel with each end, you could pretty much do the whole log in a jig so all cuts line up with the rest,

Very elegant. Wonderful educative content.
Another great video kris ❤️❤️
very nicely done,good craftmans work indeed
greetings from Belgium
coffee and kris and i'm done with work for the week. noice.
Nice log, Jigman!

That was an extremely detailed comment, I felt every moment of in my hand. 😮 I cant even imagine.
Nothing says success like a 3" wood screw through your left index finger knuckle
@@davidreed9916 Damn, hope you didn’t need to get that out yourself!
@@ianwidger7905 actually yes I did, I just put it in reverse, bit down on a chunk of 2x4 and pulled the trigger.... the thing was i was setting up batter boards and talking to a helper...... so it went through the corner of the 2x and into my knuckle...
It's so exciting watching the top shop come together! You are building a century shop!
Great job Kris, it's looking Awesome 👍💚💚🖒👓🛠📐
Well done - looking great
I'm awe struck with your ingenuity here..well done sir! God bless you and keep you

.....just in case any local sheep need warning about work going on....!!?
Awesome to actually see the steps required to do this thanks for all the videos you post
Good to see you engaging with the HarbourArmy in the comments. That's important. Together we are Legion.
You make an excellent teacher Kris. I love the round wood design.😀🇬🇧
Absolutely amazing
As usual I am in awe!
I am building robots to do this. So glad you are sharing this "how to" so we can teach the kids what they need to design their robots to do!
These are the videos I am personally here for. Exploratory learning with experimentation & mostly for the order of operations.

I really enjoy your video's !! Great craftsmanship in such a short period of time, hats of to you
Awesome skills and lovely seeing your process, lovely sharp chisel work I could watch all day.
This is so incredibly helpful! I had knocked together a quick and dirty version of the box jig for getting the tenons marked and you've confirmed for me that I was on the right track. The fact that the brace came out looking right also helped ;) Now I need to get with it and make a durable, accurate version of both jigs. I've got thirty two wind braces to place in our frame ;)
Glad it helped. yeah that is a lot! you have your work cut out for you. good luck

You do timber framing quite quickly from what I’ve seen. Nobody I know can even DO timber framing, let alone do it quickly. Keep up the good work and thanks for bringing us along for the journey!
A great lesson for craftsman who wanted to learn something new. Great job Chris keep it up bro.
Those fixtures are great. With some slight additions you could set them up so a router could be used.
Nice job as usual. Like that you take the time to explain, and show us how, why, etc. You've come a long way since your start, been watching.
Amazing video Kris. Perfectly timed too as I am about to take on my first round wood framing job. To be honest your channel has been a great inspiration for us to make the jump. We are now loving off grid in west Clare. Keep up the vids mate they are awesome!
Good job showing telling, keep up the good work cause I learning from watching you. So well see ya next time have a good one
Lots to learn, to be sure - very interesting video.
Good to see you back
I love the resonant sound of that hammer. DONK!
Just stopping by and checking in on Kris...need my daily dose of feeling like a slacker.
Beautiful work Kris xx
I totally enjoyed the video … you are an artist and a craftsman…😃… thank you for sharing.
Such a brilliant channel, love it! The workmanship you have learnt and show is fabulous Chris!
Just brilliant! Well done and thank you for entertaining us. 💥
First to comment! Just sitting down with a coffee and going to enjoy the video!
