Well done Dan and a HUGE thank you to AXMINISTER for sponsoring you with the magnificent Machinery and the right tools. Sure has made the rebuild so much faster! Amazed by your progress! Well done from New Zealand 🇳🇿 👏🏻👍🏻
Wow Dan you are going to have that roof done before the cold weather! Maybe not totally done but at least waterproof! You make “impossible”dreamers proud! Good on you!
Love where Dan is deftly and repeatedly getting more swing happening to lift the wood hanging in the stairwell. Yesterday he nearly flipped but today he’s mastered it 😁
Your catalog of tools and your mastery of using them is astonishing. To think back to when you started and what you had to work with, while still creating amazing things…. Just WOW!
All the best tools, finally. My man Dan is going crazy right now! Love to see how far you've come in appreciating high quality woodworking tools and being able to do such great work with them.
@@BunkerMentality Depends on the direction of load, I'd say. Can't remember what he used them for specifically, but I think it was just something to help align a standing post?
@@capslock9031He didn’t actually install them in the video, so it’s hard to be certain, but it appears they’re used on the joint between the studs and the top plate for the wall that supports the kink of the mansard. Not under any shear load in normal circumstances, but tbh, they’re either under no load and are therefore pointless, or they’re under load and are therefore not strong enough. Remember, this is the guy who mortared steel beams to the tops of the walls for no apparent reason. No additional fixings and not even attached to each other.
@@capslock9031I take my previous comment back. The new video shows that he’s used them in the top of the upright supporting the A frame. This will be subject to a shear force as the weight of the roof will be loading down and outwards at that point. I get that the amount of work he’s doing is impressive, but he is also half-arsing so much of this. Having a load of expensive new tools hasn’t changed that.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! For putting me onto his channel! I was reading the comments and saw you mention his name and I thought "You know what, Im going to google that name in the hopes of coming up with more content like this channel" And boy... am I glad I did lol. Ive just spent the last 5 hours binging Billys videos. I went down a rabbit hole I couldnt escape from... and I loved every second of it :) so thank you ONCE AGAIN!!
I seriously can not believe how fast you have gotten things going in the last few months. It’s like you put your foot on the starting line, and just took a step and are almost at the end. Remarkably. You alone and with your friends have gotten so far. Congratulations! You’re almost there.❤
You are a bright young man, Dan. You have learned so much in the past two years. It is amazing. Your work ethic is amazing too. You can be very proud of yourself as you continue on. You certainly have a huge cheering section. Please be careful, we all worry about you.
When I first started watching your videos I thought you were crazy for trying to restore such a derelict, old building, but I'm now happy to say you've been slowly proving me wrong.
Great that you are getting so experienced at mortice and tenon joints; there will be an awful lot of doors and windows to make once you have finished the roof!
With your natural ability to 'see ahead' and figure things out, combined with some great tools, you are a one man wonder Dan! I love it that you're not a bragger, just one heck of a worker!
Dan; You are AMAZING!! I am so "WOW'ed!" Brilliant! The math alone makes me remember why there were times when I skipped school! God bless the work of your hands, Dude!
Buenas tardes from Costa Rica. 🇨🇷🌴 You’re really knocking this one out with all of the great tools you have now, and your previous roof experience. I’m hoping Nick and Brian come back soon to make your life a bit easier.
Having watched entire build of the first roof, and witnessing just how quickly this part is coming along, I can only admire how much having amazing tools and previous experience means.
Good morning Dan from Tasmania Australia. I admire your skills to be able to know how to use all those fancy tools. You go from strength to strength and get things done with enthusiasm and confidence. I applaud your tenacity. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
This is a great thing, watching now and how much you have learned since the first roof. Snd it sure is easier doing with masses of tools and warm and dry!
Dan. Your skills are remarkable and a joy to watch. What you have learnt from the other mansard is amazing and now it will go up faster. Can you stop with the catapulting yourself with the wood thingy....half a million people are having major stress watching. Amazing video again, brilliant filming and editing. You should have 1mil subs and more really.
Fantastic progress Dan! Loved the production line. It’s great doing something for the second time, great knowing what you’re doing and in the right steps. Love the tools.
Gosh you’re so clever Dan… as I was driving to work I saw a truck delivering some a frames to a new housing estate. Thought of you and how you single handedly made yours and constructed them into position. Thank you for showing us the way you make the groves and how it all comes together. X
What a difference the tools that RUclips is funding make to the process. Come so far since the days of the man with one rusty concrete mixer and one rust wheelbarrow. I hope Festool is tipping you a sponsorship!
You have become a smooth operator😊. It must be so satisfying to realise how much you have learned in such a short time and the dividend your skills and the right tools are paying.❤
Things go so much faster with the proper tools. So exciting to see you progress and still do the construction as things were done originally on the chateau.
Dans got the tools and has more and more great practice and it appears he has gotten engineering input and is learning an amazing amount about building and construction. Especially carpentry. Really will make a difference in his life and he can share all of this with his sons.
As your skills develop the pace of the restoration continues to increase. Before we know it you’ll be looking for another manor to restore to continue using the skills you have developed. Can’t wait for tomorrow’s video.

Nice to see you wearing the safety glasses. Nick must be would be so proud. 😇
It is absolutely incredible that you’re doing this A frame by yourself thus far. Very impressive.
Wow Dan you are going to have that roof done before the cold weather! Maybe not totally done but at least waterproof! You make “impossible”dreamers proud! Good on you!
He is looking for a forever chateau for his kids and maybe for his grandchildren. He doesn’t have to deal with molds. Thumbs up for his crating
I walked through Pompeii last week and could not help but think this could be Dan’s next project.
Having the right tools makes a huge difference.
Hooray for sponsorships!
I am impressed that he has integrated so many new tools into his work process. He is very clever!
I just watched a Batman movie and I’m reminded of one Joker comment “where does he get all those wonderful toys?”
What type of tool is that that is making the tenons?
Especially when one knows how to use them ... I watch to learn how to do stuff...
Waiting for next episode every day. A year long fan from the Netherlands . So inspiring!
I have been to your lovely country. Such wonderful memories. From Florida, have a very happy day!

"How wrong can they be?" A question I never ask myself. I'm always afraid "they'll" show me precisely how. 🙂 Awesome work Dan.

The Festool sponsorship sure doesn't hurt either..
I would say the lack of experience shows. Using dominos for a structural element is pretty dodgy.

You always seem positive, and not discouraged. Inspirational

You’re a genius !!!! It’s amazing to see how quickly you’re moving with the second mansard. A M A Z I N G !!!
Fantastic to see the tools delivered by Axminster tools in action!
Missing your mates. Nic who looks like he should be in a bike movie and Brian who should be the next James bond. Keep up the great work
I really like your bench holding clamps. Simple and cheap to make.

I truly admire your capacity for work and ingenuity well done! Godfrey Australia 😊
better he slow down, otherwise he soon has nothing to do.
His work rate is amazing
Watching you use state of the art technology to make the things that craftsmen made 100 years ago makes me admire those builders so much more.
I was thinking the same thing.
Woodworking is becoming a lost art. The new tools may help keep it alive. Talent and tools!
Dan has really streamlined the process of preparing the timber, he has tremendous skill in everything he puts his hand to
@@derekbrown6823calm down fan boy
Your doing amazing job 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Gosh, the skills you’ve developed rebuilding the chateau! 😊
When I first started watching your videos I thought you were crazy for trying to restore such a derelict, old building, but I'm now happy to say you've been slowly proving me wrong.
When I watched him in the garden at La Lande and restoring his little house I knew he was up for this. It just takes a bit longer!
Slowly?? 😂
Another great day at the chateau, from Canada watching and loving it all, every minute. I get tired just watching.
Great evening, from Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸, peace ✌ out my friend
It is so cool that it all being dried in is coming into view!! It will be a HUGE milestone. Working in the dry. What a concept!😃
Great that you are getting so experienced at mortice and tenon joints; there will be an awful lot of doors and windows to make once you have finished the roof!
Oh Dan you are so awesome. Thank you for the entertainment. See ya tomorrow 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
I'm gonna steal the idea of how you pegged the timber to the bench. Would have never thought of that. 👍👍👍
Our Dan is a clever one alright 👍
With your natural ability to 'see ahead' and figure things out, combined with some great tools, you are a one man wonder Dan! I love it that you're not a bragger, just one heck of a worker!
Never like to miss an episode.
Good morning from New Mexico,USA. Good to see you using the new tools. Looking forward to seeing the new roof
Happy fourth of July, from Sacramento, CA. Peace ✌ out my friend
I am in awe of your perseverance. I think I need to go re-watch the playlist for a fourth time.
It's so great to have the equipment to make the cuts in the wood easier.
All those new tools are really paying off! 🍻🎉
If the original carpenters could see the marvel of modern mortisers, power saws, wooden dowel hole drilling.....
They might fall down and hurt themselves!
they might have used chain mortisers already. It's a 19th century invention
Nick et al will come back and see the unbelievable
Good night from Germany
Great evening, from Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸, peace ✌ out my friend

You are a very skilful man now. Just remembering how you started out, Gardener, Chef ! Carpenter, Builder , Roofer. Amazing.👋⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
You are very fortunate that Axminster are supplying you with all those excellent tools. That chain mortiser is a real time saver
Wow! Your measurements so far have been amazing Dan!

Yes. My favourite channel. Bring on the new roof. We'll have curtains on those windows by next year. Great work team.😊
I cant wait to see how they do the bathrooms
Yeah, electric first fix and plumbing next.... Windows then plastering and final floors seem so achievable now 🎉🎉🎉
Oh I do hope Jarvis has nothing to do with the curtains, I suspect Dan’s sense of style is much better.
