Buck & Rail Fence
มุมมอง 37K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Fun guy gives instruction on how to make cross bucks for your buck & rail fence.
For cutting smaller legs, I cinch down 2 to 4 and cut away. Tight chain will hold them from rolling.
You have to be a nut job to build a fence like that!!
How do you get your 60 degree angle for the post layout
Thank you 🙏🏽 great vid
way to be - so this is how to do it - subbed !
Thanks for the video. I have some property, most in a canyon bottom, some up on the rim. Constant problems with incursions of cattle from surrounding ranches, so I spend a lot of time stretching and mending fence. Lots of fractured basalt, little soil, so post-holes are mostly out of the question. I can use a motorized pounder to drive t-posts into the rock, but it's not my favorite pastime, and I hate "bob-wire". I have LOTS of ponderosa in the bottom - hundreds of the smaller trees were destroyed by a wildfire a couple years back...still not rotted out or insect-destroyed, so they should serve for both bucks and rails. I'd get plenty dirty working with them, but I've been dirty before. If I build a 3-rail buck & rail fence on the rockiest areas, I think it would be a great idea to ALSO cut TWO notches in one buck-post, each notch wide enough for a pair of rails to fit. The third set of rails would rest in the V where the buck-posts cross, so I'd guess I wouldn't need to have a notch for them, they'd be well supported. What say you? Is it wise to cut notches for the rails while building the bucks?
I haven't used notches, but they surely would help with stability, especially if an animal or person climbs over and steps on the rails. Spikes sometimes pull out: whereas log screws hold pretty well. Thanks for your input.
I like it. Far more forgiving than a mass produced Metal sawbuck. One touch and the Chain is ruined(Don't ask how I know) Much more stable than the Metal sawbucks that do not support the length of the log Blends in with the wood working process and adds a bit of class. i.e. Looks like to belongs in the yard. The only negative is the Heave Ho required to load a log but they all suffer that issue.
Thanks for your comment. I agree on the Heave Ho. Started getting smaller logs, and sometimes just use 4-ft lenghts.
For someone hung up on safety , U gotta Lotta extra bar there , shorten that bar and you could probably wear a T shirt
You may be right, but like me, he probably uses what he has available. He shouldn't have to buy a new bar and chain(s). If he's willing to make the video, and include a few safety ideas, that's plenty.
Very cool video and great idea! 🤓
Very informative, thank you for your knowledge and time
Damn nice video explanation. Thank you for taking time to film, edit, and post this video.
Marking your bar for depth is a great tip, thanks
don’t forget your earring protection and shaps! 😉
Wow
Guy sounds a little like Jimmy Stuart. :)
Solo work is always the best teacher. Nice design !
Good video. Most of my logs I'd be fighting with to get them up onto there though, they are cut green and generally 12' -14' roughly long. I use the timber jack I made to lift them up and work my way along them like that. I am planning on building a sawbuck this summer thought to throw the small and short stuff onto to buck up though.
Great video. Very specific like I needed.
Thanks for taking the time to do this
Clever! Finally a sawbuck with a different design and more capacity . I just replaced my redwood 3 section sawbuck after 25+ years with a six section sawbuck made from salvaged 3x12 bridge decking. I designed my sawbuck to use replaceable 3x12 blocks between the supports to absorb chainsaw nicks and retain firewood rounds after they have been cut. I have not had issues with log rotation so I do not use a tie-down chain. I have no helpers so 6-7" diameter by 8 foot sections are the heaviest I can heave at my age! Good video!
Are you friggin kidding? Saw em down, trim, buck, done. Ready for splitting.
Very good idea Sir and a good video, watching from England.
Well done are you related to Clint Eastwood by any chance?
Great cost effective sawbuck. Love that you used some rounds you had laying around instead of all store bought lumber. That's a clean Stihl. 028? Love my 026 and my 440. Two great saws that last a long time, and really rip when modified. Great video man!
Thanks for your comment. My Stihl is a 34, but it's a little more saw than I need, and would like to have something just a little lighter, especially as I get up in years (78).
Excellent idea. Thanks for the inspiration.great video too.
Anyone able to help put a name on the type of fastener/strap he used to tighten down the chain? or a link to purchase one on amazon/ebay??
Chain tightener, available at most hardware stores.
Load binder
@@hughlowham4142 We can also use ratchet straps. These are usually red that you might use to secure loads in the pickup truck bed.
"So for cutting up the wood--and you've got some hefty wood especially--you want to go down to the gym or else have a couple of grandsons you can recruit and have them pick up the logs and place them on the sawbuck." We see which option you chose. Nice.
Several potential Navy SEALS! 😜🤓
you should do some more videos. how was your trip?
Sure- my grandsons help with these videos. Try this one th-cam.com/video/LtHH94JHJ4w/w-d-xo.html. Casters work great. Heading south again this year.
Professional grade video. One look at this guy (Hugh) and you know that you can trust him and that he's more than competent. He's the kind of guy that I remember from my childhood when men knew what they were doing. Thanks for this great video.
He has no clue what he's doing
@@fakereality5204 Well professor, let’s see your video. 🤔
Mrs
Need a tractor to put my logs on it. Cool place you have.
enjoyed that made it look easy thanks
full bulshift
Excellent video! I'm ready to get busy and make some sawdust myself!
Finally a video on saw bucks that is well done!
Like your design. I don't understand why more people don't make a sawbuck that prevents the wood from falling through to the ground. Between safety and reducing the bending to pick up the wood it seems like a simple concept. Great video!
I think if the design allows the wood to fall to the ground, there is less a chance of the wood pinching the saw? 🤔
Eli’s beard sent me here!
Very thorough video! How do you split your wood? Log splitter, maul, splitting axe?
Rent gasoline powered log splitter for 1/2 day ($83), and recruit wife and couple strong grandsons to assist. Makes splitting three or four cords easy work.
@@hughlowham4142 No way. Get the wife and the potential Navy SEALS to split them with an axe Charles Engels style! 😜🤓
Nice video, Fun Guy!!!
I don’t know who this guy is, but he should be in Hollywood.
FUN GUY!
What kind of wood, sir? We're loaded down with pine here, but I'm just not sure if they would last without some kind of preservative.
I used lodgepole pine. Since the wood is mainly above ground level, it tends to last many years. Many installations in Wyoming have been in for 20 years or more. Probably would not hurt to apply preservative to base of crossbucks, where they make contact with soil. Course it wouldn't hurt to apply preservative to entire fence material, including poles, especially if you are in an area with wet climate.
Id like to see your finished fence. thats a tight joint on that buck.
@jeffdalen5898 That is what my sister-in-law said to me last night!!!
Best video on making a sawbuck on TH-cam. Great editing as well!
Great video, would be great if you could show how you build your jig.
Base is two sheets of 1/2" particle board, 48" wide by 62" long. Blocks for bottom of logs to rest against are two 2"X4"X6". Two 2"X4"X36" legs form the 30-dgree angle. Vertical bolt used to hold logs with bike inner tube and allow them to rotate is 48" from top of V. Two short 1"X2" stakes are fastened at top of V and bottom of one leg.
thank you.
Additional information. Actual total angle between posts is 60-degrees, or two 30-degree angles measured from vertical centerline of jig. The 60-degree angle seems to be about right for stability of 6-ft long posts.
Are you hanging wire or running rails? If wire, how do you handle corners?
Jig is just a piece of plywood or composite board doubled up as base, lay out 30-degree angle, attach 2X4s on the line, then attach some stakes or 2 X2s for top post, and 2X4 block for bottom log. Then use pipe clamp to secure the bottom log. I built them with hefty logs, 6-ft long, 7-in in diam, in order to attach pole rails.
why do you go from screw to nail? Good video. Thank you.
One screw to secure and tighten up, then one nail (cheaper than screw) from other side to help.
Would you share the dimensions of your jig please.
Jig is laid out to accommodate buck posts 6-ft long, with middle of cross at 4-ft from bottom end of post. So the rails that are installed are a little less, about 3'8" long. Jig has 30-degree angle between the posts. Helps to have stake installed near cross and at bottom end of one so the log doesn't roll while working. Then clamp bottom of the second log as it can stay put throughout the process. I used poles averaging about 7-inches diameter, which is likely larger than necessary, but that is what I had available. Also, these bucks are for a relatively high fence; many fences use posts 5-ft long. Need anything else, let me know.
Sorry for delay, I haven't viewed in awhile. I'll measure it up and respond shortly.
Additional information. Angle is 60 degrees between posts, or two 30-degree angles from middle centerline.
brilliant. Thank you.
