You can often rescue green wood bowing by re-wet the board thoroughly, then set the bowed side up in the sun while keeping the underside damp. Care will have to be taken with oak that no iron is touching it or it will blacken quickly. After the initial drying in the sun set it in the shade as you did. Maybe over bend the bow a little so when it dries it will relax straight. Of course all these tensions will release somewhat during re-sawing so it's still hit or miss. Also you may find that, though, counter intuitive, cutting width off of the concave side will help straighten the board since it is the side that is under higher tension. If you cut off of the convex (weaker) side the bow can become worse.
As woodworkers, we rely on our tools to help us shape the wood. When they fail us, the engineer in us finds another way to get it done. The best woodworkers and carpenters I have ever known are excellent engineers. Carl and his dad are up there with the best of them.
You are one of my favorite channels to watch. To see you restore these items is beautiful. The way you film everything with your commentary is perfect. Well done! Watching from USA
$3.75 per board foot here in Emmet County, Michigan. Love the show and have been watching for a long time, and it is hard to wait for the new show. Be safe, take care, and see you on the next show.
Carl, Glad to see you back on your project. The Makita circular saw might benefit by using a solvent to remove the resin built-up on the blade. All the best!
Finally another episode. 😍 When opening ratchet straps, open them all the way up and pull on the loose strap. this will unwind the "spinny thing" and you can easily pull out the strap afterwards. Keep up the amazing content! Cheers from Germany
You've taken on a complex engineering project, Carl Rogers. Watching your testament to determination, calculation, manoeuvring the beams, et al., to achieve, as closely as possible, a reasonable elimination of the bow in the behemoth beams by various mechanical and hand-tooled means. You, sir, are the personification of the literary device Man vs Nature. Hang in and may your effort be fruitful. 🎉🎉😊
around €90 a cubic foot in Ireland at the moment, for proper seasoned oak, reclaimend (150+year old) 250x110mm 4m long beams were being sold recently for €500 each
I own the Festool track saw and have re-sawn thousands of feet where the cut didn't go all the way through. You should have just flipped the beams and finished the deep Makita cut with the Festool set to the right depth before ever using the bandsaw and planer. A million ways to attack a problem, just worked for me very well in the past. Good luck and thanks for sharing.
It's always a treat to watch you work on your massively ridiculous, but fabulous projects. And I mean ridiculous in the best possible way. Please keep the projects coming. Praying for your health as well.
Smokin' trucks and vans are so common in rural France! For your big saw you can buy adhesive backed PTFE tape used in industrial production lines, very hard wearing and about .5mm thick.
Carl, I woke up and had a nice cup of coffee watching this video. Looking forward to the next one. Happy holidays to you, your family, and channel fans.
I am quite surprised you opted for free of heart here. In hardwoods, that often results in great spring from large timbers. It might check less, but will also check unevenly. Hopefully the mill left you enough material to bring it down to final dimension and have enough for your needs. Hats off to you as always for handling and working green oak! Good luck.
Your respect for restoring old things is one of the reasoms ppl like you. Reminds me of Scott from The Scottish Isle...bet they would love some of the toys you have! 😅
A trick I heard about but havent tried is to clean up both side faces smooth, then split the beam down the center and glue both bowed faces together so you end up with a curved glue line down the middle. Might not be best for your application but it may work for a straight starting point.
All this work and a why I like working with metal over wood. Don’t get me wrong wood is beautiful and you do some outstanding work and I enjoy every minute of every video you post.
Missed you much, glad your back. I'm so impressed as you are so clever. A permanent disease sucks, I have one my self, but we do force and I do mean force but we could be worse "I keep telling my self that". The work your doing is so interesting to me and many others, it's fun to watch your mind in action as you figure thing out. The roof, the staircase are just wonderful works of art, I'm so proud of you myboy, just antisopating your next segment of this project. You take care, rest when needed, see you next video, much love. Afriend.
Here in Washington county NY (USA) Oak runs between 5 and 10 dollars a board ft, quality of the wood and whether it was plain or quartersawn has a greater impact on price than grean vs seasoned. once you get into finished to dimension and kiln dried lumber the price is more in the 12 dollar a bdft range bd ft is 1/12 a cubic foot which is 1/35 of a cubic meter
When I’m carving spoons from greenwood after cutting, I put them in a plastic bag with the shavings this stops them drying out too fast and splitting and warping, I certainly don’t leave them out in the really baking hot sun. Scale this up for the fresh cut oak, (ok it would have to be a big plastic bag 😕) but there must have been some way to lessen the warping with careful handling and slower initial drying. Anyways up enjoyed the video glad to see you back, take care. J Ecosse 🏴
I would’ve removed the stack sticks from the ends of the beams so they could’ve be ratcheted past parallel, then as they dried the initial bow would be corrected or wouldn’t be as bad
Good afternoon! Excellent work! What is important viewing here is the process and entertaining narration. You do good work not only in the finished product, but how you got there....
Awesome project Carl. You deserve a long life to enjoy that awesome house you are restoring. I’m building a hut here in northern Spain with oak beams. The last piece of green oak i bought cost 100€. Length 250cm width 20x20cm. Hope it helps
Was in the garage today working on my own woood working projects thinking - Wonder when Carl Rogers is posting another video. And here you are!! Love your videos. Thanks for what you do. My price from the local store for dried oak shorts 4/4 is $6.99 CAD per board foot. For 8/4 rough material it is $9.99 CAD per board foot. Canadian Funds in Saskatchewan Canada.
Sorry to hear about your auto immune disease. My wife also has AS. She has good days and bad days but the most important thing you can do is get on a treatment plan and keep moving. ❤
😊 I was very worried about the fire hazard with all the sawdust. Build up in your shop and I notice. It's cleaned up suessentially, which alleviate my Concern for you, so good job, keep it up.❤
Good to see you back at work on your project Carl. I’d figured that perhaps you’d had a relapse after I hadn’t seen any new videos from you for a few weeks. Take care of yourself and I look forward to the next installment of your build 👌
Good evening Carl from North Wales. Have you thought yet about how you are going to construct ... and waterproof ... the curved roof of your shepherd's hut? I currently work for an organisation that builds and maintains railway carriages. They use (I made) bent lamination to create the curved beams. Ash may be a good choice of timber a la Engels Cochshop in the US, presence here on TH-cam. Here they overboard it with tongue and grooved board, spaced ~ 1.5 mm to 2 mm apart to allow for expansion, followed by thin marine plywood pin nailed to the ~ 19 mm thick boards. The edges are roughly cut to line and then routed vertical using a wedge shaped jig to sit the router on. I imagine that the use of your track saw would be more effective achieving a similar effect in one operation. Then the arris, corner of the boards, is rounded over with a router or other more traditional approach! The secret to waterproofing the structure is use of the rubberized material used for curtain siding on lorries. It is draped over the roof and folded down over one curved end and 'generously' stapled (~ 2 per cm in a staggered high low pattern) to the board ends. The other end is wrapped around a stout batten with 3 - 4 ratchet straps clamped to the wrapped batten to apply horizontal tension to the material. The other end of the ratchet straps are attached to a stout beam clamped across the wide doorway into the workshop. The sides are then pulled tight over the curved top for ~ 450 - 600 mm along the length of the roof by two assistants while the sides are stapled down to the edges of the roof boards, repeating until the other end is reached. When the sides are stapled down the ratchet straps are released and the second end folded down and stapled. The excess material is trimmed off with a sharp knife. The edges of the roof are, in our case, finished with moulded gutter section cut on a spindle moulder and screwed in place and wooden plugs glued into counterbores over the screw heads. However, I imagine that a simple 'half round' moulding would suffice so long as it would take up the curve of the roof, and be wide enough to cover beyond the lower edge of the material overlap down the sides and ends of the roof. They could be nailed in place. The mouldings have a generous bead of Arbomast (www.google.co.uk/url?q=www.arbo.co.uk/products/mastic-sealants/arbomast-br&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwja5vvxmvSCAxVRU0EAHcquCN4QFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw3Y9AhoCeFIGq1tCrOhJqU5) butyl rubber sealant applied underneath before assembly. Excess sealant is removed with a narrow scraper, cleaned off and fillets smoothed with a generous helping of white spirit!
Really enjoyed this video . If you would hear my thoughts ? Gravity is you're friend with green oak as is careful stacking with spacers and blocking . Those irwin trestles are not up to the task and are an accident waiting to happen . Ask me how I know . Keep up the great work and thankyou
Carl always good to see your notifications come up!! I think that guy was burning leaves in that truck for fuel 😃 I didn’t mind the broken glass but I hope it was empty and no wine was lost in the making of this video!!😳. Nice job that’s a ton of work as anyone who has done it will know! 👍👍👍
I don't know if it would have been possible, but I would have used the bow to my advantage. It would have helped take the weight of the box.... My mom's 400 year old farm has tons of non-straight beams, cleverly arranged to maximize load carrying, but us modern humans are obsessed with things being straight - seems a bit, er, unnatural. And I love the fact that @5:20 the driver tells you how to deal with the bow.... even if it didn't work. To be fair to him, he actually told you to squeeze them tight together... Might be handy to have some wedges close by while you're cutting.
Ah the "bleu de travail" i think i must still have some back at my parents from my days working in factory. Very handy and protective, i always wondered why blue...
8:20 There's a slight chance that the welds on the strap might split when attached that way. Best just to put them together normally by the hooks. Takes alot more pressure to break it then.
Nice to see your videos again. The trick with the bandsaw is not to use the handle with your right hand but to use your right hand on the fence guide. It was actually made in the location to use it as an balancer. If you try it you will know what i mean. Also you can remove the guard to the downcut side of the blade to saw but i have mixed results of blade deflection there. If you have two lines on botn sides you can team up and make a cut as well frome the sides with two persons. Cheers!
its 2033 local time on Thursday the 7th of Dec 2023. i have a ADVANCED DATA WAREHOUSE AND DATA MINING tomorrow morning at 0900hrs. I stopped studying and gave 34 minutes to Carl, i respect your craft and commitement!
I would appreciate a word or two on how and where the jackets are produced. Really important to me to support products made with fair labor practices. Thanks!
Cubic meter of first class dry oak is about €1500 to €2000 in Serbia. Can be had even for €1000 if you find a good deal. I just bought some green oak for €500 per cubic meter few months ago
Great video as always Carl. poor form from the wood mill in fairness. They would have known leaving them out like that would have really warped them quickly. they could have atleased strapped them all together and put some weight on them while waiting for collection.
I use those same saw horses as a carpenter in the states, on my 2 nd set! If u want to make them better place a 2x6 on top and screw it down! That way no worries about cutting them or running you blade , project, ect.,. ! Nice video Mr Roger’s :)
Rework the fence on your bandsaw to work off the opposite side. That will allow you to rest the weight on the beam just like the circular saw. Adjust or make blade guides for the bottom of the blade to ensure the blade doesn't wonder off a 90º cut. You will still have to stop to move the saw horses but will be able to leave the saw in place while doing it. Obviously none of this is any help for these beams but perhaps something for your future beam work.
22:56 Just wondering if you could balance the bandsaw by putting another beam parallel to the one you are cutting. (Doesn't help with having to move the saw horses, you need a third one to put behind the cut whilst you move the one in advance)
Good to hear from you... autoimmune diseases are terrible! I hope you are well... the visa problem is annoying, but everything can be overcome with good will :)
I'm in Ontario Canada, and you can not get anything like that here.. the mills that could cut it are booked solid with soft woods and no one wants to bother with hardwoods, too hard on the equipment. But I would estimate about $8-10K here.. Nothing amazes me more when watching these French renos, then how they just casually go about buying chestnut, oak and all sorts of awesome hardwoods like it was nothing.
Hi Carl, enjoy watching your videos, regarding Oak prices - we are sawmillers in the Uk - we source our air dried Oak from France - for planed square edge standard section @ 6.0 mtr we'd sell @ £60 / cu ft - Would all be boxed heart though so to have the off heart as you have purchased would have to be done as you have ie cut to order. Also I thought I would mention - whilst I'm sure the hot weather didn't help with curvature in the beams this deflection is very likely due to tension in the log particularly when cut off heart centre.
IDK how things work in France, but as a professional carpenter in the U.S., I would never take delivery of or pick up beams like those that the lumber yard supplied to you. They left them in the sun before pickup, and in doing so, ruined them. If those got delivered to a job site, they would stay on the truck and go back to the lumber yard, and we would tell them to send usable ones. It amazes me that your lumber mill didn't know better than to leave green wood out in the hot sun to bow.
I recall from the restoration project they has a serious take it or leave it attitude. I got the vibe of they have more than enough business and didn’t particularly care for outsiders…
France is the same as the US. It's just that he ordered them and they were quickly ready (2h remember) they cut it so he could pick them up right after, he had to organised with his mother to come and take them. It's direct fresh cut wood from sawmill to customer in 2h.... If they would sell them to professionnals, they'd store them for drying out.
Hi carl I have come across this problem before whilst making cloughs for TWA I MADEa jig by using a piece off channel with holes drilled for 20mm studding roughly 50mm centres then welding what size nuts on end of studding after drilling out thread to suit wood drill bit the clamp channel to side of wood fit studding with double nuts to lock to correct centres depending on drill lenght set studding to suit and away you go ever time squre and true give a go
Great video as ever, Carl. There's some serious machinery in my local French sawmill too. I could spend hours watching 'les gars' at work. PS just bought a jacket 😉
big nice worm greeting from Egypt , oak costs about "32000 Egyptian pound per cubic meter" about "800 Dollars per cubic meter " and that is seasoned oak we have no green wood here as you may knew that already since our land mostly desert
Makita make a 415mm circular saw that will cut over 150mm (6”) in one pass. Skilsaw also make the sam size saw (16 5/16) imperial. I have the Marita one, it’s a beast. Good luck
Great video as always Carl. Sorry for your health troubles. I had similar issues. If it’s psoriatic arthritis that you have, you need to get prescribed Amgevita. It’ll change your life. No exaggeration.
Suddenly realized what I like about your videos, besides the insane craftsmanship, there’s no music. Love it. The quiet. 🤫
wind chimes for emphasis
have a look at Mr chickadee
He also seems to ensure that equipment sounds are not too loud; no sudden, unsettling drill or circular saw sounds. Thoughtful, creative artistry is pure reverie.
@@coolcpa3321 I agree
You can often rescue green wood bowing by re-wet the board thoroughly, then set the bowed side up in the sun while keeping the underside damp.

Good tip
Nothing boring about watching you cut beams at all. I learn something new each time. Thanks for sharing

Carl,
Glad to see you back on your project.
The Makita circular saw might benefit by using a solvent to remove the resin built-up on the blade.
All the best!
Loved the brief interlude of 'strawberry cough' from "Children of Men" - perfect!
Hi Carl,
thank you for an update (for us non-patreon viewers) of your impressive build, definitely amazing but challenging project. Thumbs up!
Thanks for sharing. I am enjoying my jacket but it took a few weeks of wearing before I found the 1732 coaster in the inside pocket. Much appreciated.
Finally another episode. 😍
When opening ratchet straps, open them all the way up and pull on the loose strap. this will unwind the "spinny thing" and you can easily pull out the strap afterwards.
Keep up the amazing content!
Cheers from Germany
You've taken on a complex engineering project, Carl Rogers. Watching your testament to determination, calculation, manoeuvring the beams, et al., to achieve, as closely as possible, a reasonable elimination of the bow in the behemoth beams by various mechanical and hand-tooled means. You, sir, are the personification of the literary device Man vs Nature. Hang in and may your effort be fruitful. 🎉🎉😊

Smokin' trucks and vans are so common in rural France! For your big saw you can buy adhesive backed PTFE tape used in industrial production lines, very hard wearing and about .5mm thick.
Your patience is formidable.

Those little toothpick legs trestles are a flimsy joke. They should be rated for scrap metal use only.
Nice shot of the Defender in the windy mist. I'm sure it felt right at home.
I admire your commitment to the craft. Enjoyable to watch.
Excellent video, as usual!!
Appreciate how you manage to continue despite the limitations of your autoimmune disease.

So excited when I woke up this morning to see you posted! 🇳🇿😊
Ah the "bleu de travail" i think i must still have some back at my parents from my days working in factory. Very handy and protective, i always wondered why blue...
the abundance of indigo as a dye source

I brush melted paraffin wax on my boards after being slabbed and stacked. It helps slow down drying and control warping, cracking and checking.

Hi Carl, nice to see you back in action. Great job, the jacket looks very nice. Keep it up !
Cubic meter of first class dry oak is about €1500 to €2000 in Serbia. Can be had even for €1000 if you find a good deal.
I just bought some green oak for €500 per cubic meter few months ago
Love watching your videos, perfect in every way. Rich, Worcestershire, UK.
Really like your videos. Well filmed and very interesting projects.
Lol I just finished part 3 today and you uploaded 4. Thank you! I Hope that the 5th will be less than a week!
He’s back! 👏🏼
Hard work there. Difficult bows. Good tools and nice process that you worked out.
Great video as always Carl. poor form from the wood mill in fairness. They would have known leaving them out like that would have really warped them quickly. they could have atleased strapped them all together and put some weight on them while waiting for collection.
Apparently tarps haven't been invented in France.
@@Nas_Atlas yeah. I’d of banded them together myself the moment they came off the saw. Minimum. but we all have different standards I guess.
I use those same saw horses as a carpenter in the states, on my 2 nd set! If u want to make them better place a 2x6 on top and screw it down! That way no worries about cutting them or running you blade , project, ect.,. ! Nice video Mr Roger’s :)
Thanks Carl I enjoyed this. Looking forward to your next. Ken from Indiana 🇺🇸
Great channel. Jacket just now ordered.
Great video. I never knew how quickly green oak could bow. Great attempt in getting it back in shape.
For me a long sleeve shirt and leather gloves. Thanks for entertaining us. From St.Paul,Minnesota.
So glad to hear from you 😍😊
Rework the fence on your bandsaw to work off the opposite side. That will allow you to rest the weight on the beam just like the circular saw. Adjust or make blade guides for the bottom of the blade to ensure the blade doesn't wonder off a 90º cut. You will still have to stop to move the saw horses but will be able to leave the saw in place while doing it. Obviously none of this is any help for these beams but perhaps something for your future beam work.
Watching you cut big beams into smaller beams is quite enjoyable. lol
22:56 Just wondering if you could balance the bandsaw by putting another beam parallel to the one you are cutting. (Doesn't help with having to move the saw horses, you need a third one to put behind the cut whilst you move the one in advance)
Молодец на все руки мастер ! Так держать !
Good to hear from you... autoimmune diseases are terrible! I hope you are well... the visa problem is annoying, but everything can be overcome with good will :)
I'm in Ontario Canada, and you can not get anything like that here.. the mills that could cut it are booked solid with soft woods and no one wants to bother with hardwoods, too hard on the equipment. But I would estimate about $8-10K here.. Nothing amazes me more when watching these French renos, then how they just casually go about buying chestnut, oak and all sorts of awesome hardwoods like it was nothing.
Bloodwood is the worst when it comes to trying to get a bow out. I’ve never had success lol. Good work man!
You are so skilled, keep it up. Take care of yourself.
Hi Carl, enjoy watching your videos, regarding Oak prices - we are sawmillers in the Uk - we source our air dried Oak from France - for planed square edge standard section @ 6.0 mtr we'd sell @ £60 / cu ft - Would all be boxed heart though so to have the off heart as you have purchased would have to be done as you have ie cut to order. Also I thought I would mention - whilst I'm sure the hot weather didn't help with curvature in the beams this deflection is very likely due to tension in the log particularly when cut off heart centre.
9:11, so cinematic.
Very enjoyable as usual Carl, thank you.
IDK how things work in France, but as a professional carpenter in the U.S., I would never take delivery of or pick up beams like those that the lumber yard supplied to you. They left them in the sun before pickup, and in doing so, ruined them. If those got delivered to a job site, they would stay on the truck and go back to the lumber yard, and we would tell them to send usable ones. It amazes me that your lumber mill didn't know better than to leave green wood out in the hot sun to bow.
I recall from the restoration project they has a serious take it or leave it attitude. I got the vibe of they have more than enough business and didn’t particularly care for outsiders…
France is the same as the US. It's just that he ordered them and they were quickly ready (2h remember) they cut it so he could pick them up right after, he had to organised with his mother to come and take them. It's direct fresh cut wood from sawmill to customer in 2h....
If they would sell them to professionnals, they'd store them for drying out.
Hi carl
I have come across this problem before whilst making cloughs for TWA I MADEa jig by using a piece off channel with holes drilled for 20mm studding roughly 50mm centres then welding what size nuts on end of studding after drilling out thread to suit wood drill bit the clamp channel to side of wood fit studding with double nuts to lock to correct centres depending on drill lenght set studding to suit and away you go ever time squre and true give a go
Happy Christmas to you and yours Carl! 🍻
Always a cool video from this guy! Thanks for posting.
A well deserved beer. Great job 👍
Im excited for the end product I know it’s gonna be awesome
Great video as ever, Carl. There's some serious machinery in my local French sawmill too. I could spend hours watching 'les gars' at work. PS just bought a jacket 😉
big nice worm greeting from Egypt , oak costs about "32000 Egyptian pound per cubic meter" about "800 Dollars per cubic meter " and that is seasoned oak we have no green wood here as you may knew that already since our land mostly desert
I enjoy your creative videos. I hope the green oak does not present any more issues. 👍😊👍. I hope you are not in too much pain.
Makita make a 415mm circular saw that will cut over 150mm (6”) in one pass. Skilsaw also make the sam size saw (16 5/16) imperial. I have the Marita one, it’s a beast. Good luck
Rough sawn dry oak beams in Washington parish, Louisiana go for 6 USD per board foot and green goes for 3.5 USD per board foot.
Great video as always Carl.
Sorry for your health troubles. I had similar issues. If it’s psoriatic arthritis that you have, you need to get prescribed Amgevita. It’ll change your life. No exaggeration.
