It's a shame carpenters get stiffed on moneybecause there are so many neat things to do.
@RevStench It was NY in the 90s sonit was fun. The only noteworthy set was probably upright citizens brigade on comedy central
No way, I love UCB. Little Donnie is my favorite
I was just a helper basically. And I put together a ton of flats and stages. Then moved back down here and started working with that contractor
Haha little donny
I helped build the inner sanctum set
Their headquarters
Carpentry is one of the most underrated and underused professions
That's really cool man, what neat place to get a start in building.
It's a shame that carpentry has become what it is. I've seen articles over in the Netherlands where they are building multi story buildings with wooden frames again. That's really cool.
Morgan cars still use a wooden frame, that would be a dream job.
Wow that's nuts
That's pretty cool. I wish there was a market for homes like this. I could do this type of work for pleasure.
This guy has making shakes down to a science. I've pretty much memorized his technique, it's good information.

@RevStench You ever seen the Dick Pernake doc?
Think it was on PBS years ago but it's on YouTube. Ex navy pilot moved to the Alaskan wilderness and built everything by hand. Amazing he filmed all of it on 16mm
No I haven't, I'll look it up.
People show me video's like that house all the time, I appreciate it. But most of the these people say they do things the old ways then I watch and I only see where they skipped the old hard ways for modern things. Like that house they used rebar. No one used rebar for foundations. They also ran the trees through a saw.
Hand hewed logs,
Floor joist for this place built in the 1850s
My family house in New York had hand hewn logs. It was one of the first houses in the area. I used to daydream about what it was like to walk to the middle of nowhere all alone, chop down a few trees, and start building yourself a new life.
I do that same day dreaming almost everyday. Or what it was like when a new town was being built. I go to a lot of small towns, ones with one 4 way stop being the town center. Life was harder but in my opinion better in the good ol'days.
@Joseph McCarthy - NJ Just watched that video. Gods. White people are fucking awesome.
@Deleted User for sure, WE are the builders of cities.
There's several parts to this. It'll put you to sleep but it's pretty amazing what this guy did. Killed all his own food but cabin and smoke house by hand
I hope it's related but has anyone made fasces for decoration?
Like this
No sir, you make one and show us haha. For real though
There's some really cool buildings being made out of wood again.

Supposedly LVLs and CLTs can be stronger that concrete and rebar in earthquake prone areas
Lvl is some good stuff, I used to use it for building pole barns, I've loads of barns for some of the big horse farms in KY. LVL is so heavy though, kicks my little ass.
So much cool stuff happening with timber.
@Deleted User haha thanks for posting that. I'm fixing a door and can usually find a way to get out stripped screws. Totally forgot about these
@RevStench You on the real estate server?
@Deleted User yes sir
Cool
