- In this 4th episode I'm going upstairs, repairing 6 timbers with new parts and reconstructing 2 half-timbered wallparts in alemanic fashion. For more explanations about the house see the other videos. The chimney I mention at 3:55 is taken down in the video • chimney cutback... Kam... .You can imagine how much weight was upon the damaged beams... a miracle that the chimney didn't sink into the house.
You sir are the man. Outstanding craftsmanship. Thank you.
I really enjoy watching your skills in repairing this old timber building
Your workmanship, filming, editing and commentary make for fascinating viewing and deserve many many more likes than you are getting. But then it is easy to forget in the haste to watch the next one, my only explanation...
I just have to say, your illustrations are top notch. They are the best illustrations that I have seen of timber frames. I find them super fabulous. You know, my favorites of your illustrations so far, is from your video with the "famous card game, tools that I have, and you don't".
I enjoy these.... I am continually amazed that the house is still standing, when I see the extent of the damaged areas.
ps: how low are the ceilings in this old house?
wordsnwood Ground floor and 1st floor: 2,20m, 2nd and 3rd floor (attic) 1,80m. But there are some beams unter the joists which are lower - a problem in the attic.
+Wordsnwood (Art Mulder) In the words of steve chapell "They must have been damned good zimmerman back in those days , ehh" - From the timber framers workshop.
these are very good videos ! very well explained and demonstrated - a true craftsman.
The sound of that bandsaw spinning up is great. The sound of serious work about to occur. Great videos! thank you.
I love these videos, when ever history is being repaired in such an excellent manner with great narrative.... it's art... :) Warms the heart of a historian like me... :D
I am simply amazed at the work you are doing. Fantastic!
You are much more industrious than I. I admire your talents and your work ethic. I think it is your work ethic that makes so much difference. Good luck and I wish you the best. Thanks for sharing your videos and experiences.
I love your videos Matthias. It inspires me to go the extra mile with my own home, to put attention and care to every detail, even if unseen. Well done.
Very very cool. Love watching your videos. If you ever were up to it, would love to see a short tour of the house and hear the story behind your buying it/fixing it up.
Very nice series of videos. I have enjoyed watching them very much.
einfach wunderbar!
I can't explain how much I love these videos of your house getting repaired!
And your calm "professor" voice is very calming to listen to as well :)
hope to see more videos soon
This series is addicting in a good way..
Very interesting watching the work that is required in making these repairs. I admire your efforts in taking this big project on! Great
Incredible work and drawings. Really inspiring.
Very interesting build! Vielen dank fur 'sharing'! We have similar issues with old Amsterdam houses, like my own... ;)
Oscar Winkelaar dankjewel - Then I hope you are already done with the repairs and enjoying your place or visiting the many forts of the Stelling van Amsterdam, as I am planning to do some day.
A true labour of love. I have always had fasination with this type of construction which I have had the privilige of seeing in the more northern part of Germany and in other countries. I have really enjoyed all of your videos and really look forward to seeing new ones. By the way if possible could you put up some videos you have made on the Ulm fort preferably in english as even after 30 odd years travelling to Germany my German doesn't get much farther than ordering beer. PS. your videos are a real good advertisement for Ulm's Heritage
Alan Byrne Thanks. I will think about your suggestion of making some video about the fortification in english.
Incredible work! Always enjoy your videos. Thank you!
Bravo maestro, true skills passion and dedication, greetings from down under.👍
Wow. You make it look so easy!!!!!
thanks for sharing this really exciting renovation
My God but you just do beautiful work!
A beautiful job
I love watching these videos you have an immense Talent and a ton of patience and I love your home assuming it's yours. Where's your ear plugs.lol
Wonderful as always!
Sublime and awesome Sir.
Great skills and beautiful results
I suppose that red triangle on your pic stands for the red scarf you're wearing in every video... Can't wait for the next video.
Dufffaaa93 Yes, that was part of the idea. But I don't put it on just for the videos - it's a permanent habit.
Amazing work!
Awesome,grate job.Tnx
nice work
1.17 Prancing Pony, Nice :D
Yes! I have been waiting for someone to notice for a long time...
Hi matthias, i enjoy a lot all your videos of framing restorarions.
I have and old House in my village with rotten joist ends and i would like to restore them in a similar way that you do here.
I find and studied some articles of spanish architects than do a very similar method, but they cut the lumbers oblique and the glued faces must be at least 1x6 of the width of lumbers.
My problem its that the beams support a wood flooring and the clippboards are attaching to the beams by Nails and i cant disassemble them because all above them was nee construsted 2 years ago.
I thought many ways to cut the beams but i can't find a good way. Im afraid that if o try to cut the beams from behind with a chainsaw ill find the nails, with two consequences, a kickback with injuries or a damaged chain.
I've thought to do by hand but it could be tedious and inaccurate.
Could you come of with some suggestions?
Thank you
I really find this so fascinating. I love the history you get out of looking at house everything fit together. Is this a house your repairing to move into in the future?
Dan Mills Yes... but I don't know when it will be finished.
Great!
awesome
When you are chiseling the wood, do you sometimes think of the original carpenters doing the same thing long ago? One of the original walls seemed to be leaning quite a bit. Will you be able to straighten them if the upper and lower beams have shifted? I hope you are enjoying the work and find it very interesting. I know I would! Seeing those old saw and axe marks is an excellent look into the past for us woodworkers.
+MRrwmac Yes, I often think of the people who built the house. I'm sure that they were relatively fast in making the joinery, because when you are used to do this with an axe, you are much better off than with a chainsaw. The leaning walls will be kept as they are. It's almost impossible to "rectify" the house, when so many earlier repairs have been made under the condition of the deformation. And, yes: the saw, axe and other marks are interesting; maybe I will make a video about that.
+Matthias Burger Have you found anything in the walls or perhaps under the floor boards (if you went there)? I'll guess there were some things dropped there on in the fireplace. Do you know what the purpose of the house was originally? As you know, many were some kind of business on the first floor (a pub or shoe maker or shop if some sort).
+MRrwmac I have indeed found things under the floor boards and elsewhere. A School bag from 1879, a gun from 1940, parts of bombs from airraids in 1944... interesting stuff, but nothing unique. The original business (1400) was weaving.
+Matthias Burger Thanks for informing us of the original Weaving Shop. This articles you have found are amazing artifacts of its history. Especially the 1849 school item!! Perhaps you could show us in the next installment of the video series if it's not too much trouble. Thank you again.
I am mesmerized by this whole series. Your woodworking, videography, illustrations, narration and well just everything you do to create these videos is top notch.
Have you found any artifacts concerning the weaving, like old loom parts? I have always been fascinated by weaving. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Great work Matthias! That is a truly impressive push, a great amount of work completed. Did you use your hand made saw mill to fabricate any of the timbers? Do you find that now that you have the band saw up and running, the saw mill is not that useful?
BTW. I find these videos truly inspiring, and have started tinkering with timber work since I started following you. Lots of great techniques.
Gareth Dirlam Thanks. - My sawmill is useful when it comes to timbers that are difficult to get. For the timbers in this video I used spruce beams with common dimensions which I got from a nearby sawmill. I couldn't have made them efficiently myself. The bandsaw indeed can do some things now that I would have otherwise done with the sawmill. But I still need it for cutting big logs.
Matthias, what are the support jacks you use?
Could you tell me what kind of preservative you are using?
Im working on my timber framed barn. What is the strength of a four pegged beam vs the original? I was thinking a steel fitch plate may be useful in places I do not want a post. At 6:45 what is being brushed into the peg holes?
Wood glue.
I think the static situation on the whole matters. As a Basic rule I would say eyery timber in its original place can be repaired by this sort of joinery, as it was typically made bigger than the absolute minimum and the repair reduces its stability not beyond that. I would therefore use steel only when crucial parts of the timberframe are missing (posts or such) and cannot be replaced. Even then: steel has to be handled carefully. Steel bolts in wood have the tendency to come loose over time.
Hi Matthias, I really enjoy your restoration videos. The amount of work and dedication you have put into this house are incredible! I have one comment, which is meant entirely in a constructive sense, because I worry about the strength of those splices you've put in:
The way you are splicing the new beams into the old ones is not going to give you optimum strength. In fact, its going to be quite weak. As you know, gravity has the effect that the weight of the structure is transferred from top to bottom, and some side-to-side (compressive forces and tension). Yet your splice joints don't account for this. Your joints would be great for lateral/sideways forces, but they don't account for compressive forces from the roof downwards. The way you've constructed the joints, the only thing that resists vertical compressive forces is your pegs! (See "Tensile Connections" www.fhwa.dot.gov/publications/research/infrastructure/structures/04098/14.cfm)
Common structural splices are usually done like this: ruclips.net/video/6j-U1P49r8U/видео.html
