Will Chainsaw-Milled Gazebo Rafters Hold Up Through the Winter? #45

- Living in a tent year-round, I NEED a place to get out of the summer sun, heat and bugs so have decided to try my hand at building a screened-in deck using nothing but a chainsaw and chainsaw mill.
In this episode, I scrounge the forest for trees that I've previously cut or that have blown down to mill up for rafters for my project.

When we went backpacking....we only went in cold weather. Less people and less bugs. I was always up before daylight. Loved camping. ❤️❤️👍✌️
The boards at the end of the gable that hold up the ridge board, are called king posts.
Self-doubt is nothing once you've conquered Blackflies , no-seeums, moskeeeetoes, and termites. Love your stuff, Stay well!
love watching you carve out your own slice of heaven. thanks so much for having us all along for the adventure.
Don't get over heated Ryan we need you YOU MAKE WONDERFUL STUFF !!! PLAY WONDERFUL MUSIC!!!
Slick trick making the rafter fall, had to watch it twice! lol
Loving how the gazebo is turning out! I also love sleeping in a tent and feeling the sun warm up my tent at 6 o'clock in the morning while still laying in my sleeping bag for an hour previously because the birds wake up so damn early and start talking to each other immediately. But the sun warmth forces me out of the tent. Then you smell the dew, the pine and the charcoal and smoke from the few left over embers from the night before. And, then the day feels perfect for whatever adventure you I feel like tackling for the day. At that moment every morning I instantly think.... Bacon! But, I only do that a few times per year. I love it. You're living the life in my opinion!
Watching this from my cubicle. Thanks for getting me through until I get back to MY property. Doing the same things there, except not full-time. Keep the vids coming. Thanks for the ideas.
When you jumped, the wood fell and you caught it, I laughed so hard I think I cracked a rib. Had to rewind to watch it again. You are GREAT!
Glad to see U decided to fix a log bench higher off the ground
it is very good that you dont edit away your errors. Makes the whole thing you do more realistic
Two planks put up backwards means you are tired! Time for a nap.
Naps are good.

You have a great attitude young man .. that alone can take you farther than you can imagine. Keep at it!
Not only do you have incredible ideas but somehow you make it work😂!!!
Thanks Mr. Worm, another great start to a Saturday and again, exactly the length of video to complete what you needed, amazing. Cheers
Another great video. Did well. Need to make this your permanent home. Can't wait to see next one. Have a blessed Sunday
Danner and I just did this for the shed to (not so) tiny house project. It was full sun, 80-90% humidity. Despite all our measuring and circular saw, I think you ended up with better cuts! We were short on time, so won’t get roof up for his next episode, but it’s interesting to watch someone else do this. The walks for the workshop side are done! Great video. I know it was more work than tge video portrays to do this alone.
Your ingenuity is a breath of fresh air! Fine job!!
This is looking great! Can't wait to see the final results!!! Keep them coming!!!
You outh to make a huge wooden hammer to persuade those stubborn big boards to go where you want them to go. Great work everytime. 😊
Have small tool bow you keep in your wagon for stuff you might forget at your many work sights. God Bless you 😊
Chain saw gives it character.
Nice bridle joint for the ridge!
Milling meditation. It’s a real thing!! It’s great.
I just found your channel recently and enjoy everything you make and say right or wrong, I have a buddy that's near your area,I'm in Minnesota. Just had to shout out to you that I'm hooked on what you do.Amen brother!
Good stuff. I’ve been around since almost the beginning, just haven’t commented in a while.
Thanks. Interesting project.
Good job Ryan 👍.
loving the consistent uploads
Ryan has some awesome projects going I found a lot of inspiration from this channel. Keep up the great work and the sarcasm :)
Great build. Good editing as I was never bored of the content even with what seemed to be a lot of repetitive tasks.
Absolutely beautiful.
Hi Ringworm glad to see u once again back to the gazebo . Bet it was very nice to have company for the few weeks .
Looking awesome!
Starting to look nice
Just watched this as the first vid from you. Looks good, will have a look at more when I can.
Hi Ryan. Well this last weekend was special cause it was a RINGWORM where I watched every video from the start (1-44) & now this one. I watched them & laughed just as hard as I did the first time around. Had beer & pizza. I see the gazebo is coming along nicely. I think U do a wonderful job on your things. Who cares what anyone else thinks. I know some of them couldn't do & whatever U build looks nice. Be safe & God Bless... Phoenix
This subscriber has liked and commented. Looking great. Keep up the great work.
I love these videos man!
You’re absolutely right 👍👍👍👍
👏👏👏 loving this..
another great job well done
Great job
Ryan, there is a great product "Tri-Flow" it has teflon and you can find it on Amazon. Maybe use on your mill metal bars. We used it where exposed metal beams were getting surface rust. The teflon penetrated and slowed the rusting.
Just a thought.
Keep up the good work
If it works, its not stupid! keep up the videos, love em
It’s looking good
Looks awesome!
Another good job keep up the good work and I will keep watching god bless
That rip board was very cool. be nice to see that every day for a few yr.
Ryan, I envy your journey up there. Ive got a few acres in northern lower Michigan, gonna build a small trapper shack in the woods for the kids and grandkids. Im sure someone has already said this but you should back up those rafter screws with a framing spike or two. The screws don't have the sheer strength that a spike does.
Keep the faith and enjoy the adventure.
“Two punches, that’s how you check it.”
Reminds me of that Bob Villa always has to knock on everything to be sure it’s of high quality. Lol!
Wow nice sir great work 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
MERCI BEAUCOUP POUR VOS VIDEOS BON COURAGE A BIENTOT
Well you can't say you don't know how to use a chainsaw. Thumbs Up, as I wait for the next installment.
On that last rafter, didn't you hear me screaming "IT'S BACKWARDS AGAIN"? Coulda saved you some time. LOL.
Good morning!!☀️🌞😃
Good Morning!!🌞☀️ 😃
That middle one will be your Ridge brace
The best way 2 start my day...ringworm!!!
Actually turning out really nice. 👍 we need another video update.
I was beyond shocked to see you using lag bolts and adding corner bracing! Well done!
.... attaching those incredibly heavy rafters with deck screws.... WTF?!?! PLEASE REINFORCE WITH NAILS OR JOIST HANGERS BEFORE BIG WINTER SNOW (hoping you already did in a future video)
Could put both rafters up and cut them vertically both at the same time or use a plumb bob to mark them or use a straight edge referencing the rafter that it's attaching to
nice to have that steel but you could do the same thing with an aluminum ladder to and it would be lighter your "end plates" might be a little longer but in a pinch that would work to!
I truly look forward to your vids and your character. Think about a limited, volunteer worker option on the donation account.
I'd call it a ridge pole!
You're another of my favorite, delightful weirdos.
i like your cabin and your motorbike
Could you use the aspen planks for the roof planks? Are you planning on putting shingles on the roof?
45:30s! Gorgeous!!
If you put gussets across the inside corners,cut on 45 degrees at the ends, you could tie both sides to the posts. Little boards, much stiffness. Don't we all want stiffer posts?
Hi. Tom Wilson, here, and I want to let you know how impressed I am with your chainsaw sculptering. ;)
My dream--and this why I am so interested in what you are doing with wild tree lumber--is to build a treehouse to live in.
The base you have for your gazebo, looks like what could work for my treehouse floor.
But I need the floor you have so very solidly built, up, about 12 to 14 feet.
And that would be my floor for my "dream" treehouse. So, I assume, I must have a minimum of 4 to 5, 16ft. [guessing there?] beams or columns I mean, to hold/support that treehouse floor?
The other option, likely, also, it to have a mature or two to attach the house to, so to support the walls and roof.
The idea was, to have something like an open garage underneath the floor for vehicles or maybe a small space for a tool shed, too.
The manner you bolt those timbers together is quite educational. Something I badly need to ever pull my dream off. I am no spring chicken, but I do dream like one. ;) I am also, chainsaw dumb.
Retired, and have just about giving up on human beings man's best friend, so I will likely end up with the best, most proven animal to be my best friend? Not that they are not a "huge responsibility," yes, this I do know for sure.
Thank you for some inspiration.
Idk if your able but I have a mosquito magnet from homedepo it runs off propane and a regular plug in. Solar would run it, one tank last a month. Works great for mosquitoes or nats ect.
Oh and it covers 1 acres
Found you late(after year 3)better late than never. Glad I did! But your making me lazy lol. My brain relates to your brain waves😊. Just been back tracking thru your beginnings. Watching Dice video now. Idea for what it's worth. Mabe turn bottom die with #4 up and gouge out center to fit top die on its corner point lol. Stay cool man! Keep moving
Yes!!
I think the mathmatical term you need is a messygon.. But I am a big fan of this type of building.. Live in a house from 1905, nothing is straight. You measure everything 5 times and just average the answer and then cut of a little bit more to make it fit.
The good thing is when winter get in you will have a roof that way you want have a lot of snow ❄️ 🌨️ on your tent 🎪 make your tent last longer
Aspen/Poplar. . . Pre-drill the screw holes and it won't split
You need rafter ties to stop the roof from spreading.
Survived another round of ringworm. I don’t know why I keep subjecting myself to this every week.
Well now throw a giant tarp over it and call it done 😂😂😂. Can’t wait to see the next episode. You making shingles?
hang a tarp above your tent, give it a foot of distance from the top of the tent for air flow. you wont wake up from the tent being too hot
Ringworm 👍🏻💪🏼❤️
Where did you get the 2 metal orange hold down cleats at the beginning of this video? Thanks
How do you stop the logs/lumber/stumps from rotting? What treatment if any do you go with?
I've used yellow pine logs for a simple lean to and they rot.
What are the 2 metal things called that you hammer in to hold your wood while you work on it ?
Maybe keep a set of needed tool at the milling station... juss saying
Maybe a dumb question but how is your red knife secured to you? I’ve always used belt loops but they always end up breaking when out and about…
Question; what are those "C" spike and where did you get them?
Center gable stud?
Ridge Jack post
Hi again. Tom Wilson. I forgot to ask you about those floor supports you have. I think you have 1 timer support for each corner[4] and maybe 2 to 4 more on the outside centers? You would also have 4 centers, but are they all supported, is the question? Say, 4 total and all perfectly centered? Sorry about this technical question. :(
And, most important, how deep are they [the same for all?] and what do you set them in, say, gravel, concrete, etc. and especially, how deep for each one?
Thank you very much, Mr. lonesome chainsaw man. ;)
King post
Yep, but maybe we can call it a Ring Post!
How many acres do you have?
👍
A rhombus with a non straight sides
I found your vlog site a little late so I'm wondering what is the story of the title , surviving ringworm ???
Think he explains in first vid…
Dr. Frankenstein would be proud of this build if he were into carpentry rather than anatomy, his story would have been different..."Frankenstein's Gazebo"
Watching this is like another feather in my cap on the road of life I never thought it was possible to mill your own lumber its really not that bad so if you dont or cant afford a band saw this aint a bad way to go and I knew nothing about trees and Im a biology/chemistry major I should know something. But like he said look at craigs list for materials liker old barn wood or tearing down old buildings and using or reselling the materials for other purposes like "repurposed materials" that can be a treasure trove of ideas Ie seen barrels and buckets for feeding live stock or rolls or rubber fro,m con veyer belts for horse barn flooring or pens, pipe sheets of insulation, roiis of materials old food containers and barrels plastic or wooden. I like cam;ping and hunting and fishing skiing boating to. And an avid DIY'r I say a man needs a shop where he can experiment with things.
