- This week i have been working on the two beams that sit on top of the roundwood frame. these beams will have the piched roof rafters fixed to them. I did a scarf joint for the first time witch went surpassingly well.

the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
For me, the ideas in czcams.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
As a professional DIYer, I love every video Mr Harbor puts out. But I know it will be an even better treat when it begins with "I've never done this before". The fear of the unknown paralyzes many people to the point that they will not try anything. Good on you Chris. Great work....again.
So much this.
David, completely true.
Very well put. :)
A real McCoy….
So true about the fear of the unfamiliar!
In Norway we call this "Fransk lås" (French Lock/Joint). I'm bookmarking this as THE video how to make it. Extremely very well done Kris.
In France we call it "Trait de Jupiter" (Jupiter's Bolt) :)
Norway hey
Referencing 'building the timber frame house' by Tedd Benson and 'the complete Japanese joinery' by Hideo Sato and Yasua Nakahara, 'Measure and construction of the Japanesehouse' by Heino Engel and 'the art of Japanese joinery' by Kiyosi Seike (forgot how many timber frame books I had), you definitely made those scarf joints perfectly, you could have gotten away without the lags but over built is always better.
I thing John is correct and that the joint you made will definitely hold. If forced, the only weakness I could possibly point out is the bit of short grain at the top, which is why if you google "Japanese scarf joint" you will see the extra bit of half-lap complexity going on and a lower slope angle. This puts more material above the area where the rotational forces are at their maximum. But I think yours are fine and with the "belt and suspenders" approach with the SS lag bolt you can sleep easy. And yours are certainly less complicated to make. Thanks for taking the time to reproduce the template for us. And wow, those mortise and tenons are fantastic. They are a deceptively difficult joint - especially if you do them by hand. Doing all that maneuvering yourself getting those beams up there was inspiring stuff. This is a great project to watch.
Thanks for the books references !
Hi. I have been following you for a short while now and I am really puzzled about how you dispose of the waste like bath water or simply the dirty dishes water. How do you recycle this or get rid of on the day to day basis? I am started getting really interested in off grid and all the little details of it. Thank you in advance. Really great stuff.
@@sputhod8462 I would imagine he uses biodegradable soaps and let's it go to the trees mayb through some sort of grey water bed with plants that don't mind
Kris, I've watch all of your videos and your workmanship is brilliant. You sometimes sell yourself short chap, your scarf joints were bloody fantastic and the beams sitting on the tenons first time just amplifies how precise your skills are. Well done and thank you for sharing again, I'm looking forward to the next instalment.
One like per person just seems a pitiful response for such perfection. I uttered the same celebratory HA,HA! As each beam fell home. BRAVO Maestro!
You have a perfect balance of showing and explaining. This is one of the few channels where I'm never tempted to skip ahead in the video.
Dang boy! You are good! I'm 76 years old and this is my first time to see this excellence in wood work. It boggles the mind!
absolute perfection - "I guess we'll go with that for now"
I don't know if it was more amazing how first fit up went, or that you were even able to get those massive beams up there solo!
love the long term vision for this functional bit of engineered art. Kris, you're creating something that is sure to last and will be appreciated by many. thanks for having us all along for the adventure.
Those joints are extremally strong.. I seen barns a few hundred years old with those same type joints.. They knew what they were doing back then... Loved it, great job..
You have got to love a good old scarf joint 🤠
Or at the very least, survivorship bias shows it's a good technique!
I took a hiatus from CZcams, and have just seen the last 4/5 videos.
(I refuse to watch current, as I like watching the progress).
I don’t know what impresses me the most:
1. Your figuring out how to join those beams
2. Your craftsmanship in actually creating the join
3. Your balancing in a tractor bucket whilst lifting that beam up by yourself
4. The EXACT fit of that beam.
Always amazed at your organic creations and methods to achieve same.
8 also love that you care so much for the stewardship of your land. ❤❤
You do a wonderful job making your joints. I respect your craftsmanship in this type of work. Thanks for sharing!
I love the fact he says "I've never done this before..." before coming up with his own way of doing things and instantly starting to teach the rest of us...
Great work Kris
Busted Wagon Ranch built a large timber frame workshop with bedrooms upstairs. He did one heck of a lot of scarf joints. He went to school for it. The ranch is in Idaho. They have a good playlist. Hope this helps Kris!
28:53... You do realise don't you Kris, that there would have been a Mexican Wave of delight on your behalf rippling round the entire world - we're all sharing in your pleasure at an amazing job well done! You never cease to amaze so many of us! :)
@ Jay T - I was just about to comment similar to you, but you say it best. So proud of Kris 🤗
The “Mexican” wave is about as accurate as the “Spanish” flu.
👋🇲🇽
Jay T - With regards to the "Mexican Wave:" The wave is not Mexican. It started in the USA and it got known in Mexico by the televised games of the Seattle Seahawks (American football). A lot of commentators call it the "Mexican Wave" because they saw it for the first time by the Soccer World Cup in Mexico 1986.
From Wikipedia:
While there is general disagreement about the precise origin of the wave, most stories of the phenomenon's origin suggest that the wave first started appearing at North American sporting events during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Krazy George Henderson perfected the wave at National Hockey League games, followed later by the earliest available video documentation of a wave, which he led on October 15, 1981, at a Major League Baseball game in Oakland, California. This wave was broadcast on TV, and George has used a videotape of the event to bolster his claim as the inventor of the wave. On October 31, 1981, a wave was created at a University of Washington football game against Stanford at Husky Stadium in Seattle, and the cheer continued to appear during the rest of that year's football season. Although the people who created the first wave in Seattle have acknowledged Henderson's wave at a baseball stadium, they claimed to have popularized the phenomenon.
**University of Washington**
Robb Weller, a cheerleader at the University of Washington from 1968 to 1972 and later co-host of the television show Entertainment Tonight, indicated in September 1984 that the school's early 1970s cheerleading squad developed a version of the wave that went from the bottom to top, instead of side to side, as a result of difficulties in getting the generally inebriated college audience members to timely raise and lower cards:
“Actually …there were two Waves. I was a cheerleader at the University of Washington from 1968 to 1972 when we started the first Wave. We tried to have card tricks, but the kids would imbibe too much and the card tricks would get all goofed up; then we'd try card tricks with the kids using their bodies as cards and that wouldn't work. Finally we tried a Wave in the student section and it caught on but that Wave was different from this Wave. It would go from the bottom to top instead of side to side."
The first wave at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium occurred on Halloween 1981, at the prompting of Dave Hunter (Husky band trumpet player) and the visiting alumni cheerleader Weller.
@@wendyweaver8749 o…k?
This is just like going back a couple of thousand years and watching the craftsmen building. It's wonderful to watch. Thank you so much sharing. Pure gold.
“I think they’re pretty good”.......🧐....possibly understatement of the year
You know what, Kris? I think you might actually be getting pretty good at all this! Could tell you were well chuffed to see those beams fit so well. Good job!
Dear Kris Harbour.
👍👌👏 Not much more to say than: Impressive, impressive, impressive!!!
Best regards luck and health to all of you.
That scarf looks like the standard Japanese scarf - has worked great for 100s of years.
That satisfying 'clunk as the beam fell into place must have given you a tremendous feeling of satisfaction, Kris - and me! Well done, such meticulous measurement and joinery pays out in the end.
Mind blowing accuracy, from Kris the green timber framing meister. Bravo young sir !
✌❤ Bob
You ain't Mr Chickadee.... but this is more understandably achieved stuff.... and you keep on making your empire with every move....BRAVO
I reckon I'm quite pleased with that. I learned a long time ago whenever I catch myself thinking what the hell is Kris doing - now I just think, you'll see, you'll see.
Same, lol!
Loved the laugh of victory, you have every right to be proud got both on first try!
I look forward to new videos and this morning I have my coffee and am ready to soak up all the great content. Thnx for the videos.
Ha! Amazing work! Smiled ear to ear seeing that wall plate slide on first try!!
5 o’clock on a Friday in Boston USA, time for a beer and watch the maestro work. Thanks Kris!
Absolutely fantastic job you are the sort of person who with your skills built the great wooden men of warships
So enjoyable to hear/watch you laugh with relief and pride as the the timber fell right in as it was meant. I can fully feel your relief and pride in the same stroke, beautiful work!
Ditto…..
So absolutely true!
haha so nice to see my favorite permaculturist follows my favorite builder
Always a pleasure seeing a real craftsman at work. Well done you.
That wasn’t an ordinary one man job …luckily you are far from ordinary …superb work .👍
Best par “aww man, I am good”. So glad that beast fit, well done !
A real treat. Celebrating with you. Dot is a lucky woman.
Thanks for posting and sharing! I was so surprised and pleased that AFTER taking us through the process of scarfing the timbers together, you went ahead and took your viewers along for the installation! Wow that was very generous! Thank you!
Simple math and geometry is how the Egyptian and the Mayans did it, and so can you!!
You’ve done it correctly sir, and a fine job laying it out. Keep up the great work, Friend!!💪🏼👍🏻
Just rewatched your why go off grid video from 6 years ago…… wow how right your were with everything you said and just look at what you have achieved…..you are a inspiration!
1:40 "Typical" Let the frustrations and joys begin! Thank you for sharing.
You sir are one extremely talented craftsman. Hats off to you 👍
Skill plus a touch of luck equals great happiness. Nice work.
You sir, are an artist.
How can someone not like this video it's the best content on CZcams?
You have every single right to be pleased with your self, well done.
I love to see a Happy Kris!!!
Well done
Huge respect for all your square wood joinery Kris, the pole joinery is just spooky, I'd tie myself in knots mate.
Hi sir wow exelent brilliant work now you can see how it gonna be i am proud of you sir thank you for your skills have a nice weekend.
Great! For joint and other, Mr Chickadee make beautyfull things in carpentry !
6:10 "pretty good"? Bloody brilliant!
Pretty good! Nay nay
You are brilliant. You are an absolute craftsman. Well done Sir.
The Japanese woodworker would be proud of that job💎
It's great watching your videos, you never seem to think I can't, you just try. And you do whatever it is with great success.💖
Always a delight to see a new video from you, Kris. Thanks for taking us along for your adventure!
Chris, du bist echt ein Arbeitstier! 💪 Das war echt ein Stück harte Arbeit, Respekt 👍
Super fit on the joints and pegs 👍👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🤗
What a moment, first fit! Great craftmanship
Brilliant, Absolute Pleasure to watch an artist at work...
Your knowledge and confidence in anything you do absolutely blows my mind I've struggled to find any vids whereby your confidence has exceeded you. what an incredible grafter you are 👌💯
Wow that’s awesome, never seen this done before, looks super strong for sure. Awesome place your building. I am following love this stuff appreciate you sharing, until next time
Always a pleasure to watch you work, Kris. You make it look so easy, which I'm sure it is not.
Time for you to buy a lottery ticket. I can’t believe you got that first one to fit on the first try. Hats off to you
Nice tidy work mate. not read through the comments, so excuse if others have said. A long time ago when i was building, we did exactly that joint for a base plate in an old Victorian house. It was supporting 3 stores above it all made of brick, and a basement below. obviously the weight was spread out, but am sure that amount of bricks and roof weighed a lot more than a van :) If you want to test it safely, you can always strap the bucket of the tractor to it, and then pull the bucket down to lift the tractor. but to be honest Kris, i am more than confident for you. stay safe and hi to Dot
Another enjoyable piece of craftsmanship by Kris. Well done sir 👍
Smashed it mate take time pays dividends 👏👍🇦🇺
I'm in awe of your skills every single video I watch.
Now that is what i call grafting! well done mate bloody heavy
Nice Job Fella! Let's hope you don't hear a voice in the night that tells you to build an Ark.
I recon he’d have it sorted - just as soon as his trees grow. 😂
Ha, ha! 😃😃😃
It’s not just “not bad”, it’s very nicely done👍👍
Wonderfully crafted kris, your property is really going to be spectacular when it is all complete. I would love to put a planted flower garden on there for you!
Thank you for sharing your skills with us and the learning process also. I can't imagine the young men and women who want to learn the easy way ... like you said ... it can get complicated. Thanks Kris.
I admire the talent you have for your work. We need more people who have your skills. We might well need them one day.
That's not a thinly disguised 'the end of the world is nigh' comment, by any chance.......?!
THAT !! Was fascinating to watch . Some strength there Kris 😳
Those mortise saw are AWESOME 😎 and timber frame is the way to go!
Brilliant,Brilliant!!! Humility and competence rolled into one 👍🌳
Kris, you don't have clue how much enjoyment you have given to your viewers every time you nailed your work to perfection.
Our pleasure is yours Kris, and thanks for bringing all these feel good contents on your work.
That is a thing of beauty.
Fantastic Craft. Love working with big timber. Kris you should add a Roubo Workbench to your list of projects. Very satisfying to build and to use to build other projects!
This is impressive. Well done and thank you for sharing.
I love the sounds when you are working with wood, that joint is amazing so clever. I brilliant that they fit first time
Never done this before,the start of an interesting plan by Mr Kris.you make my week following your thought process and applying the skill to make it work.just followed another carpenter on scarf joint and you got it Spot on. your are a man of talent my friend.respect from Cornwall.🤗
Real nice work there son…timber framing-- an earthly connection….🤟. 👽
That was absolutely amazing Kris 👍🏻
I've never done this before, You do love a challenge, great work.
1:40 - that's why you sharpen both ends ;) a little tip I picked up a while back that has saved me a good chunk of irritation thus far. Brill stuff as always 👍
Oh my....you are good!! Some say that and can’t back it up but you...Kris.. are amazing!!! I hope your body does not fail your mind before it’s time. Great video.
07:09 this is pretty similar to how dentists work. They use a piece of dyied paper between the teeth in order to indicate where they need to file. 👍
Was just going to say the same thing!👍🏼
If that 8m tape has SP written on it... I've been looking for mine for weeks!
We should go get a Burger King and then hand-saw shopping, I need a new one too.
Good work, Boyo
The rust all over it says its my one, your one was quite a bit more shiny. Thats not to say it isnt here though i will keep a look out mate.
Those Bahco hand saws are the bollocks, I've got 2 or 3 and they all cut straight and fast. I suspect the whole blade is hardened, not just the teeth as in a lot of saws, I really should do the file test and find out
Swedish steel is usually pretty skookum
'copying' is known as 'scribing'. Japanese saws are nice. Well done mate, fantastic!
The French name for scarf joint is "trait de Jupiter" or Jupiter's line
Because it's shaped like a lightning bolt, right?
@@HaylonWoodworking Yes. From the Roman god of the sky and lightning!
Hey Thanks for that nomenclature Steve Lightning! Jupiter is brightest in August so the Gods are with this kid. Sometimes I wonder if Kris isn’t a descendant of a few of them. Truly an amazing young man.
Everything about this is clever and brave!
The scarf joints have got to be my favourite though with their square draw pegs :)
Your satisfaction when the two wall plates went in for the pitched roof, was felt across the digital gap. Man, I would have been so chuffed that I would have done a dance! (I can't dance!)
Nice one Kris, your reaction when the beam fit like a glove! Classic joy a tradesman feels when his calcs are spot on! 👍
Holding my breath on that lift! Beautiful joints!!
Heya Kris... by way of nothing, just wanted to say that I'm slowly working thru all your videos in this workshop series. You are a huge inspiration, and I wish you nothing but the very best and a long, happy life mate! Cheers.
Beautiful work!
You young man are insane! In a very good way. Bless you.
Proper impressed that not only did the tendons line up square and parallel in the round wood but that the finished beam was level ! Really tricky with wood that’s not square cut and that big ! Great stuff. I really enjoy watching, thanks
Amazing job Kris, love the way you are so modest/ never done this before, and hey presto perfect fit. What an accomplishment , the workshop is truly coming together. You should be very pleased and proud! I can't wait for the next video.
Kris, a great job 👏. Super build and design. You are building your own kingdom. Every time you build something, you can stand back and feel pride in your work and enjoy its function as you live among your own creations. Good O’. Your pal in the 🇺🇸🙏🐻.
