I love these rough carpentry videos that you've been posting lately, especially the roof fascia board video. I appreciate how you never half ass anything. You always do everything the hard way, which is the right way. Keep up the good work
I saw in a finehome builder article a guy did this. But getting it to fit nicely on the rock he put chalk on it to see where the post needed to be removed. Great tip.
To find the coutures of the rock on the bottom of the post, grind some chalk dust onto the rock and it will transfer to the bottom of the post when you drop it down. Then trim back the areas that are chalky. (The bit you talk about at 10.20 into the vid) As usual, fantastic work. ATB Dave
I have been a carpenter for 40 years, all's I wanted to say is I loved the way you used that piece of ply would to get your your square instead of complicating the job with fancy doofangle stuff.
I absolutely love your work. I have been to Japan many times and find their woodwork and carpentry to be without peer the world over. Only my opinion but your incorporation of their joinery and style is delightful. Nothing shows respect for materials and longevity of construction like Japanese temples and castles. You capture all of this in your projects and it’s wonderful to watch, thank you.
So glad I found this video. Never thought of placing the stone on top of an underground pedestal. I heard about the technique, it really appealed to me, but didn't think of this! Great work!
Just a shout out. Currently working on my new wood shop. Have some what I call big projects, cough# to some not so much lol, but none the less very much looking forward to rockin' the compound miter and other awesome implements. Like to thank the grand master Samurai for some of the inspiration. Keep on keepin' on with all those great free tips.
Is there some sort of a grout that you might put between the wood and the rock on the final installation that might help make a perfect seal and a perfect contact patch for carrying the load evenly so there won't be any excess pressure on one spot on the post for guys who might not have good skills with their arbortech or similar tool?
You should have coated the end grain with a layer foundation coating and let it wick up into the grain. This creates a permanent moisture barrier and prevents ground level microorganisms from attacking the end grain.
This is such a great video, thank you. I purchased the Japanese saws from your tool store a while back, i can honestly say the Ryoba is one of my favorite tools.
@Jim Savina Couldn't agree with you more, I like his channel and the post looked great. I don't work on the tools any more as I've been in management for 25yrs but some youngster will get hurt copying stunts like this. The guard is there for a reason.
+Jim Savina Same arrogance that drywall/plasterers had 20 years ago before lung and throat problems. Just don't believe your skill is greater than your health, please. Your health is more important than the job or project.
you have some mad skills scribing that post. I've done some funky baseboard scribing on some house remodeling but nothing like that. it was worth watching
Nice!! Well this Arbotech blade is nice, I know I don't have a guard, so you use your tools how you like and I'll use my tools how I like. That's perfect.
I really like the use of a rock as a footing - makes me wish for a time machine and do mine differently. It's a great way to move water and it looks absolutely amazing. Thanks for sharing your talents.
gday mate, love your work, your skills are insane, what i dont understand is how can anyone put a thumbs down on your videos, your videos are instructional, fun, and just awesome for someone of your calibre in the building , woodworking industry, i think people are just JELOUS, keep up the good work, thankyou for sharing your knowledge, P.S , how and where did you learn your style, cheers
That was sweet. I have a scribe just like that and never knew what the hook was for. Now I'm going to go find something to scribe. That's some massive hair you got going on.
I loved this video from start to finish, editing, commentary, attitude, cintbet, the lot! But the ending! Then ending was boss! I love the magnet holder on the back 9f the vest! Thanks Samurai 😉👍
Samurai,Thank you for another great "how to" video. I just bought a mountain cabin and wanted to do the porch footings the same way. I have scribed trim wood to finish the base of a rock fireplace at the floor, but my technique was a little off. Thanks again man!
Thought it would be a great idea if you applied several coats of wood preservative to bottoms of those posts before finaly setting them on the rock base. Apply several coats of preservative, let dry, then set posts. PS, I would even pour some preservative inside hole in base of posts, fill it up then let sit for a while, then let excessive drain out. Apply clear preservative onto rock bases so water wont wick into stone & helps water to roll off stone. sounds like alot but it takes only a few minutes. Great channel, Congrats, Vinny
this is so cool i have always loved seeing really fine detail in things that you can see in every day life it truly shows when a tradesman does the job they truly care about
@@Llaveocculto nah, the dumbest. There's a reason the accident rate is high amongst professionals who "know exactly what they're doing" and become complacent like that. He wouldn't be the first professional losing fingers working with tools they have a LOT of experience with...
if the concrete is too wet it looses a significant amount of strength. you can use a pneumatic chipping hammer with a flat bit against a scrap of wood in direct contact with the rock to vibrate the concrete and settled it into the concrete. don't forget to rod the concrete to get the aggregate distributed evenly and avoid voids and air pockets which also weaken the concrete. use your kids sidewalk chalk sticks to Mark on the rock and transfer to the post. I also will make a witness mark on the post and the rock to make sure I don't put the post oriented incorrectly and end up making a bunch of extra work because I take off wood from the wrong place. Keep up the great work.
your patience with the boys at the front end was totally awesome ...also the "you use your tools the way you want to..." I'm pretty old school...didn't wear a helmet when I learned to ride a bike etc. People willing to pay the extra for that kind of aesthetics here in New Hampshire are, sadly, few and far between !!
I have seen your stringerless stairs done in production in southern California on tract homes with permits engineering and the testing one commenter mentioned the big twist and why they did it was CURVED STAIRS with walk space under. Steps are pie shaped to achieve a desired radius. the first few were platform on platform then took off like yours to a second story @ 17 risers with a curved drywall finished underside. Your step to step connection is way better than theirs. Next time dream in curves. Love your stuff. Where did you get your bags/ tool belt or did you make it? David Nicolet
Hello SC ! When you are doing the fine scribe adjustments of the beam to the rock, use roofers string line chalk mixed with water to make a paste and paint the rock up. When you bring the post down, the high points of the rock will show on the wood and that is where you remove the material. Keep doing it until the wood gets almost completely stamped with chalk. This is an old piano rebuilder's trick to use when mating new pinblocks to the underside of the cast iron plate of a grand piano.
Very similar style to what I used to design & build...although I didn't notch the posts into rocks. I had many posts in my decks, because of my designs that I was building...also had to dig them 36" deep (w/ no permit)...42" deep w/ permit & all concrete & if there was bed rock, I had to go through it. I built custom decks, patios & cut slab retention walls for over 25 years...I had semi trucks w/ rock beds, deliver me loads of boulders to my job sites...from basketball sized to boulders sometimes over 9,000 Lbs. each rock. I used the rocks as parts of the walls at transition points (which were always curved walls) & then I coped the cut sandstone (usually 6x8x32-34") slabs into the boulders w/ my Partner or Still concrete saws. Imagine having to flip & roll each stone slab several times for fitting. On the decks & patios...I used the boulders as seats or architectural features & then I coped the deck floor or brick around the boulders. I really miss doing that type of building, but had to finally give it up after a few injuries, including a herniated disk in my back...oddly enough, none of the injuries were from that specific work, only my carpal tunnel in both hands. I never got rich from doing those types of projects, but I did get paid well to do them...and sometimes more than anything...I loved pissing off my competitors & making them envious, especially when I took the high profile clients from them. Anyhow, way cool stuff on your channel here...wish the internet was around when I was at the peak of my career. i could have developed myself that much more, with all of the great info that at our fingertips, which I had to otherwise learn the hard way, especially since there weren't too many around, doing the type of work that I did. I still tinker doing some of it, but mostly for myself now. I'm searching for farm property in Hawaii right now, where I hope to move within 2 years & build my home. This method would be so fricken cool, since most houses there are built on posts. I'm goona have to try this somewhere, now I'm itchin'....but I'd have to use larger rocks of course ;) Your videos are addicting...Stay safe & keep the vid's rollin'
I was amazed when I started checking out the actual squareness of sheet goods at work. I assumed they'd be bang on, given the volume they're produced at, but I was wrong. It's not unusual for even plywood to be a 1/2" or more out of square along the 8' side. Now, that's not going to have much affect on how you used it here, but we had to order special 'square cut' stock for projects that did require the accuracy.
I am really interested in setting up my own shop, just as a hobby. Would be cool if you could do a video about it. Like a "basic shop setup," and a few tips and tricks. Your content is amazing btw. // A swedish fan.
I like the "J" rod into the footing, very good and it will not lift out in heavy wind conditions. However, what is going to stop the post lifting from the rod in that situation? Do you folk get mad winds there? I'm in Australia and work in bush building locations with tough hardwoods. There are many interesting ways of doing stuff! Thanks for the show, s
great job samurai! Love your videos. Maybe for the bottom of the post you could use some sort of stain, paint, even mud onto the stone to make some marks on the post...Just a thougt. Lokking forward for new wood videos. Thank's for sharing
What you created is called a J hook and they are actually no longer used since they end up straightening and pulling out. Now we use hex bolts upside down which create a triangular forcing cone. I'm a structural engineer
I'm sure he'll be alright. He wont be able to apply no where near enough force on even a straight threaded rod to pull it out of the concrete. The wood would fail far before the rod or footing will.
Dmitriy Barsukov Right, especially because "pulling out" isn't an option in that case :) JoshL Someone should keep learning, but it'll not help until someone could understand the meaning of learned.
I am clearly not a structural engineer. So you figure I would be better off to put a nut on the end of the rod a call it good? That saves me a bunch time and effort. Thanks for the tip.
Great videos, amazing effort, really good craftsmanship- especially being so young. You definitely have some serious cajones to be using the old, OSHA flagged Arbortech blade system, and without any sort of protection and on a barrel grinder to boot! Keep putting out these great videos. One thing, and I don’t mean to tell you what to do, but we all like your videos; so please at least consider getting the much more effective, easier to use new Arbortech grinder and blade system. They make for much better results, and are so much safer. Several people I know who used to use the old blades have had close calls with the them, or has had to have arm, chest, hand or facial surgery- and these are seasoned, master level joiners and related professionals. Just one of the major reasons they offer the new design. But none of them would use a barrel grinder with no handles , leaving just a thumb between you and massive injury and medical bills, which is why they offer the dual opposing grip system. It’s like using a chainsaw that has no safety brake bar, no trigger and no secondary grip!
I am doing it with post on the ground and rock with the rod but still not embedded in concrete. Also, for the last fine tuning would pull sandpaper between the rock and the post foot.
Nice work! I use that same veritas scribe on building loghouses. I usually carve it to the line with a chainsaw or when i dont feel my hand confident some days i use a angle grinder with a sanding disk to get to the line. Sanding disks are very controllable and precise. Usually if you leave just a tiny ribbon edge outside and let the log press it in it will not even have micro caps.
this wat I like so much about you channel almost every time it is something new whit the most RUclipsrs it is still great entertainment but It has been shown before
Lmmfao... Best thing I have heard on RUclips ever... Everyone trying to please everyone else by doing what is acceptable as safe but when you said "you use your tools the way you want and I'll use mine the way I want" I lost it.... Lol 😂😂😂
i like the fit look of the rock to wooden post, i suppose you had to work hard to find flat large stones that match each other, do you think that if you couldnt find the perfect match that you might flatten it like you did your beautiful stone sink you made?
I've always envisioned this is how you'd do that. Thanks for the video. I have a (volunteer) job next spring to replace some posts on a railing around a Japanese temple that is placed on stone. I don't know what the stone/post interface is but I'll figure that out once I'm on site. Cheers! Michael
You seem to be drilling long lengths into beams by hand. How do you make sure the holes are straight. Is that just skill and experience? Wouldn't you need an aid of some sorts to do that? Thanks af for sharing all this awesomeness.

Are those rocks you used organic? Nothing worse then rocks that have a bunch of preservatives.
I hope that they're gluten free too!
William Ellison but free range cage free rocks are the best
No carbs either
You guys cant forget about GMO ridden rocks.. some of the worst out there right now
The problem is it's salt content is probably REALLY high.
That's awesome. Anybody that disliked this has never tried to scribe anything. You did an awesome job. Ellison's comment cracked me up.
I have been a carpenter for 40 years, all's I wanted to say is I loved the way you used that piece of ply would to get your your square instead of complicating the job with fancy doofangle stuff.

Nice !!! I've been making shavings an curls for more years then You've been breathing. You taught me something .... Thanks Giuseppe aka Joe D
That was pretty cool. I've scribed a lot of things, fireplace mantles to stone fireplace's etc. But that is a pretty cool effect for an elevated deck.
We use the same technique to scribe parts for boats. Love your work man.
This is such a great video, thank you. I purchased the Japanese saws from your tool store a while back, i can honestly say the Ryoba is one of my favorite tools.

You rock Samurai!
if the concrete is too wet it looses a significant amount of strength. you can use a pneumatic chipping hammer with a flat bit against a scrap of wood in direct contact with the rock to vibrate the concrete and settled it into the concrete. don't forget to rod the concrete to get the aggregate distributed evenly and avoid voids and air pockets which also weaken the concrete. use your kids sidewalk chalk sticks to Mark on the rock and transfer to the post. I also will make a witness mark on the post and the rock to make sure I don't put the post oriented incorrectly and end up making a bunch of extra work because I take off wood from the wrong place.
Keep up the great work.

this wat I like so much about you channel almost every time it is something new whit the most RUclipsrs it is still great entertainment but It has been shown before
I enjoy your wise cracks as much as learning your art with wood. What about some tar under the wood to prevent wicking?
Great minds think alike. I use a spray on tar to seal the bottom of the post.
Lmmfao... Best thing I have heard on RUclips ever... Everyone trying to please everyone else by doing what is acceptable as safe but when you said "you use your tools the way you want and I'll use mine the way I want" I lost it.... Lol 😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing.
I bet there’s a bunch of home reno fanboys screaming about oh&s.
subscribed before i finished watching the first vid nice work sir.
i like the fit look of the rock to wooden post, i suppose you had to work hard to find flat large stones that match each other, do you think that if you couldnt find the perfect match that you might flatten it like you did your beautiful stone sink you made?
I've always envisioned this is how you'd do that. Thanks for the video. I have a (volunteer) job next spring to replace some posts on a railing around a Japanese temple that is placed on stone. I don't know what the stone/post interface is but I'll figure that out once I'm on site. Cheers! Michael
Looks great man. Cant wait to see it finished
Very cool idea! Do you think that method would work well enough to anchor a free standing 14'x14' pergola?
Great work... Wondering if there shouldn't be some sort of base gasket?
That's an awesome idea and very well executed, I might add. Thanks!
You are a artist! Amazing work.
That looks awesome man! Well done
Great tip! Love to look of the stones. Thanks Jessie!!
Nice work as always! A lil blue chalk on ur stone will help indicate high spots when fitting ur post. Keep it up, I dig ur videos.
The Holey Galahad is also a great tool for scribe work, including baseboard. Thanks Samurai for your great vids.
You seem to be drilling long lengths into beams by hand. How do you make sure the holes are straight. Is that just skill and experience? Wouldn't you need an aid of some sorts to do that? Thanks af for sharing all this awesomeness.
Scribing makes such a nice edge the look perfect those dat together mate 👍
Excellent craftsmanship
