  • If you love Bushcraft , Woodcraft and carving then this is the project for you. When using this notched frame design it can be used for any camp furniture. A bed, table chair, stool or even large scale it can be a frame for a shelter.

    Great demo of some very useful concepts. Camp furniture can be time consuming to make but is sooooo nice to have once it is done.

    Most people do bushcraft for survival but you do it for camping. Thats why youre the best.

    What Dave says at the beginning is what makes his channel so great. *He loves what he does. * And it is that love that comes over in his videos and makes them so addictive.
    I might never get round to following many of Dave's ideas, but just watching him demonstrate them himself is encouraging for facing other challenges in life.

    Old video, but I'm looking around for table and chair options to build at my camp....and I've decided to copy yours because no cordage and its very bushcrafty. Awesome. Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 3 lety +1

      Fantastic to hear that Brother! Anything with joints instead of cordage is extremely bushcrafty! Thanks for watching man

    That looked so fun...up until the slicing of the thumb! It happens to the best of us. It is so true, no matter how good you are you will suffer a cut at some point. And when it happens after years of experience you realize how dumb you were and learn another lesson, to remember knife safety and to slow down. Thanks for showing your mistakes and not editing them out. It helps those that are learning to realize that everyone makes mistakes but to not give up and keep practicing.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 4 lety

      Its always fun and games until someone bleeds. Lol. And youre right, anyone can get cut. Especially if in a hurry. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching

    I really needed this video again. I've been studying about woodworking and building my tool collection, and this week I've focused on videos about making dovetails. When I noticed one of the half dovetails on the end of a piece of wood, I thought, "Hey, can't I baton that?" I guess not, but that's when I decided to find this video. And I'm tired of measuring wood. I knew you wouldn't make me do that. lol

    FIRST!!! WEIGHT, WEIGHT, WEIGHT.............I KNOW. PEOPLE ALWAYS TALK ABOUT BEING "LIGHT" WITH THEIR GEAR, BUT, I LEARNED 50 YEARS AGO THE IMPORTANCE OF "TOOLS" IN THE FIELD AND THAT'S WHY I CARRY THEM. THE WEIGHT OF MY PACK AND ASSOCIATED GEAR? 40 POUNDS WITHOUT A RIFLE, 47 POUNDS WITH MY RIFLE. THINK LIKE A PIONEER!

    • @Reallybigmonkey1

      ric cartwright Git yerself a carpenter’s toolbelt and shove all the heavy stuff in it to lighten your pack. Works great. Plus you can ‘dump’ the whole toolset in one shot if need be. I hang mine on a tree when camp time comes. Easy on, easy off and makes the heavy weight modular.

    Rather than binge watch Netflix, I decided to pull up your videos to get me through hurricane Irma. Your contributions to the craft are pure awesome, and I feel like a sponge soaking up all you put out. Gotta look up that folding saw. I keep a "come home" bag for house gutting after a storm, like I had to do after Katrina, and that saw would have helped a lot. Thanks Dave!

    • @Reallybigmonkey1

    I love your videos on this stuff. I am planning on buying some land just so I can go out and make this for myself along with a cabin. You rock!

    😳😱 definitely one of your more, ah exciting videos. Glad your thumb healed. Whew! I sliced my palm the other day with one of the kitchen cleavers I was cleaning after using it to chop up wax for the mushroom logs. Not as bad as your thumb!
    What an amazing chair project, I’m going to give this a go. Worth the time for sure, and you know what they say, a chair is only as good as the seat that’s in it. 😁

      Thanks! Oh, hate to hear about your hand. Cuts are all a part of being a blade user! I'm glad you liked my chair

    Dave, you are one tenacious teacher. This made me think of high school wood shop as a kid. The teacher insisted on everything going together with locking or binding joints. There wasn't a nail or screw in the entire shop. Coincidentally, he cut a finger off, so I'd say you are ahead of him after cutting your thumb, you still have it! Looks handy for hitch hiking too, or passing verdict on gladiator fights. I hope the storms miss you and your family and nobody has to suffer damage, loss or injury.

      Thanks Sean. Man he sounds like my kinda woodworker! Irma will be a tropical storm when it hits my area so I'm hoping for minimal damages

    Really nice table. Hope your thumb heals up soon. But a really good test of the table would be a table dance. LOL. Turn on the ladies. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

    Thanks for sharing, I hope you heal fast. You looked a bit shaken by it. It happens to the best of us. Just have to sit down catch your breath and deal with it. I love the project. I'm going to try it out myself. all the best. Dave.

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 7 lety

      I'm always happy to share. I guess more shocked than anything. The three deepest cuts I've ever experienced came from unsheathing blades, not from using them. Give this frame a go. You will love it

  • @mccoyburgess844
    @mccoyburgess844 Před rokem +2

    For you carving where your knife would get into the ground, you could split a short, wide half round from a bigger diameter downed log and press the rounded side down into the duff/ground and have a nice flat surface to rest your work so you keep the knife blade out of the dirt or possible rocks. Hope that makes sense. That’s a great piece of furniture you made. Professor Dave scores another win!

  • @1fanger
    @1fanger Před 7 lety +1

    Hello David, you know, boo boo`s occur. I cut my finger when I was sharpening my mower blades one time and I hit a major artery. It just would not stop spurting blood. I wrapped my whole finger with electricians tape, hauled my butt over to the emergency clinic to see about it. I sat there, waiting for some attention, and the bleeding stopped. I got up and went home and saved myself about $300. Electricians tape is the bestest band aid there is. Your red tape was probably real close. Thanks for the video. I have a stand of aspen on my property. That wood is very attractive when you split it. I am going to look into making a four poster bed frame out of that wood. Your technique gives me some real inspiration. Be well. Joe

    • @Reallybigmonkey1
      @Reallybigmonkey1  Před 7 lety

      Hello Joe! Ah man thats a bad cut! The Aspen sounds great! If you want to make it really nice, saw all the joints then carve the inserts larger and hand match each one. If the wood is slightly green you can beat it together and when it dries it will never come apart! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.

      The real beauty of it is if you have a permanent shelter you can fill it with furniture based on just this frame. Thanks for watching Brother
