Your videos are the most comprehensive instruction videos any where. The animations are also the best. I have a question regarding the curved pieces: will they split? Cutting a curve in a piece of wood makes a short grain line from edge to edge. I would worry most about the location of the birds mouth cut. With that being said, after five years they seemed to have survived. Great video.
Thank you very much for your kind words and support! I really appreciate that. I have added some recent photos of the pergola at the end of my blog post here: manabouttools.com/build-a-curved-cedar-pergola/
They were taken in November which is not the most flattering time for pictures but, they show how the structure is weathering.
@@MANaboutTOOLS Was there any type of sealer put on the wood? Would this have possibly prevented some of the cracking?
This is an amazing build..! And the plans makes me want to build one already since their so well explained! You deserve a 👍 for sure and a follow! Looking forward to see and learn more from you! Very skilled crafter! 🔨 📐✏💪
MUY buena calidad, el texto imagenes. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxbnOKZBE4evMO5V2vroHeCjq6d_MV6wJO Un manuel muy completo y trabajado. Resulta muy práctico. Para principiantes y profesionales. Lo recomiendo
I’m a woodworker in Ghana west Africa and I love and admire your craftsmanship sir. Salute 🫡
It's a cold, wet miserable March Sunday morning here in England. Your video was just the tonic I needed. I can't wait for the weather to improve, I can't wait to get out there with my tools. I'm 61 now but still get excited about creating things with wood. It was the same 45 + years ago making tree camps with my dads tools.
Love the video, thanks for going to the trouble of making it.
Thank you very much! Cheers from Vancouver Island!
Amazing, I was looking for instruction on arched pergola roof and yours was exactly what I wanted your description and instruction is first class thank you.
Wow, I would love this in my yard. Beautiful
Such a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work!
You are the best in terms of explaining and diagraming everything out
Thanks. I'm another old guy that likes to see quality construction.
excellent. i will try this in the next few weeks. I have an elderly couple who were looking to get this done.
This video was superbly helpful to show me a reliable way to bore the 20-degree-from-90 lag holes in the curved braces. The rest of the layout steps were great too but the drill layout helped me actually understand it. Thank you.
Glad it helped! Cheers!!
Great now i need thousands of dollars worth of tools and decades of carpentry experience to do this awesome project!
Once again, pure class.
I AM A RETIRED CARP BUT I LIKE YOUR SHOW VERY MUCH, THANKS
I love long videos is where you learn more from a good teacher thank you for your time I’ll keep on following maybe someday I could build something nice as this at home👍👍up
Love your videos and channel... you have inspired me to get back to work as soon as possible. GRACIAS, AMIGO! Made my day!
that was very soothing to watch!
Best video ever, your explanation is so clear make it easy understand, Thank you for sharing
Yes. Excellent work. A very pleasing design. Thank you.
7 minutes in the video and I really like the presentation. Really nice work. Thanks for sharing.
Awesome instructions. Thank you so much!
I'm hooked on your channel. Thanks so much for your great work!
Great video, I really like the step by step instructions.
No questions here, but I've gotta say, I love that design and the quality of workmanship!
Wow!! Absolutely great work!!!
Safety precautions for power tools important! Great video.
Nice pergola. Not something I'll be building, but your video gave me some ideas. I bought a used gazebo made of metal. One those you get from Amazon or some place. Has no top but has the side curtains. I want some the roofing that lets sunlight come through but not rain. I like sitting out side in the rain but don't care for getting wet unless I'm taking a shower. lol. Anyway, good video.
Hermoso trabajo felicidades 👏👏👏👏 saludos desde Tehuacán Puebla México 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗👍👏👏👍
Brilliant animation.
Came here to say that, so thumbs up..

You are very welcome! I appreciate your support!
Quite beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic demo on this nice work
Wowsa! A Masterclass.
I really enjoyed the effort of this vidéo and got some great idées. Thank you.
Awesome I loved it can’t wait to start building my in the Near future
I'm used to watching loooooong videos by Wood By Wright, Matt Estlea, hffcom, ILTMS, and others. If your vids end up an hour long, so be it. I'll watch it to the end.
Beautiful job.
Very nice! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing with metric measurements for countries using metric system. Love your videos by the way.
You are very welcome!!
I agree with Paul, Beautiful work! Greatly appreciated.
It's simply beautiful.
Thanks! I'm really happy with this project.
Very nicely done.
Beautiful work.
It's refreshing to see a carpenter who knows what he's doing on TH-cam.
You are perfect in every way.
this video was so relaxing - loved the pace, great content!
Thank you so much!
Great job God bless.
Looks great
Спасибо большое за размеры в мм! С огромным удовольствием смотрю все ваши видео! Thank you very much for the dimensions in mm! I watch all your videos with great pleasure!
a few more videos and I will learn this imperial system :)
nice idea to have a water tank underneath!
Very nice I love a well build arbor.
Yep!
Nicely done.
Love it
Very informative and very good explanation. Good job .
Dude!, you Rock!!!!🥌
Thanks!!
Awesome skills and I love the video.
beautifull work. and thanks for not makeing its to short and sped up. ❤
I love it great work sir
Excellent quality work and the video is outstanding. Clear in picture and word, animations are very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks!
спасибо что используете метрическую систему)))
Man this is great!
Thanks David!
Thanks for this video hope best for you
Not sure about your pin alignment system although it might prevent lateral movement it offers no uplift protection. I would recommend using any type of post base connector of which there are many. I do like using rough cut wrc on all my hard scape projects it’s a little pricey but you can’t beat the look and workability. Thanks from Atlanta Georgia
Brilliant and very informative. Hooked and subbed. Regards Paul
nice!
Thank you
excellent, i will try your method
Nicely done sir, Thank you.
Thank you kindly!
excellent work 👍👌
You use nicer wood for patterns than I use for finished projects
Solid work...
Thank you very much!
Very good vedio from start to finish
Not only this video was well done but it gave me ideas for my future gazebo that I'm planning to build this summer. Thank you so much ;)
Very Nice !
Thanks Fred!
Excelente 👏👍👍CDMX.
very nice work
I want to build this....will do it next year...
Really nice. Thanks.
Thank you too!
Awesome video and the length is just fine! Great plan and it was right to the point .Thanks so much for being a pro ..
Great video. Just subscribed. Greetings from Hermosillo.
Nice work! Do you use your own SketchUp 'Style' or which SKP Style do you use for your 3D models and construction drawings? The animation is nicely done too so thanks for sharing!
Great video. Excellent step by step instructions. Plenty of great tips for the design and angles.
I am about to build a pergola over our hot tub and this video will definitely help. I was originally going to glue strips of wood to create the rafters but I prefer this method. I also plan to coat the rafters with expoxy and use the Lichenberg method for more detail. Not sure if I will tint the expoxy. I may also I plan to add some privacy lattice between the 2x4's and the curved rafters for further weather proctection.
Excellent!! Thanks for watching and thanks for the comment.
Woow genius! I hope you can share more video 🙏👍
Thanks! More to come!
Brilliant. I love the wood you used, though I think it would cost an arm and a leg in the UK
English oak is probably more expensive for him than that cedar is for you
Very nice! The pace of the instruction and level of detail is just right for me. I also appreciate the alternative tools you mention. Thanks.
This is beautiful work! Easy to follow directions if someone wants to build it too, although wood prices are through the roof lately, so maybe by next summer?
Thank you very much!
@@MANaboutTOOLS I can't imagine what you paid for 12" wide WRC boards!? Luckily the client paid, but DAMN!
Wonderful speaking voice and narration.
Thanks!
thank you for sharing your skills with us...it is quite a beautiful pergola...i can only imagine the cost of the timber....
Thank you very much! It depends on where you live. Red Cedar here on the west coast is not too bad.
Good job
Thank you! Cheers!
I tried to do similar curves with a bandsaw last night but my cuts were way off the mark. I’m used to this and I didn’t mind having to sand, except I was using 1/4” plywood and it gummed up the belts right away and was so difficult that I don’t even want to use it. It was only the first of 7, so I figured I can scrap it and try something else before I get too deep into it. I’m redesigning the whole thing so that I can use hemlock instead.
I honestly thought that plywood would help me keep the cost down and be a breeze to cut. I haven’t started on the hemlock yet but it’s much lighter weight and seems like decent wood. I’ll do one before I commit and then use the first one as a template for the rest of them if I like it.
Very cool. I'd love to scale this design down a bit and use it as an arbor over a garden gate. The curves give it a very elegant feel. Your videos are great and your animations are very impressive! Do you SketchUp, or something else?
Thanks! Yes I use Sketchup
try uses rice flour for your - Air Crete Lightweight Foam Concrete from Portland Cement
Loved your video, instruction I'd top shelf. I also liked that you took the time to show braces were made. Lots of videos don't take the time to show how make the templates.
Great video impressive work thanks you for sharing
Is it possible to make the pergola in wider opening of 3 meters of 3.5 meters?
Looks great! I built a similarly styled pergola in 2013, but elected to use a router with bearing bit to make my rafters. Works extremely well, especially if you’re making a pattern with some height to catch the bearing.
grate
Thanks!
Are there any thoughts out there about placing decking and shingles on this to create a covered porch?
hey kent, thanks for this! i appreciate your videos and the methodical way you work. the best thing you do that i would kill to learn is your brilliant animations. do you pay the crazy fees of $300 per year to use sketchup?
I think you can still download Sketchup Make 2017 for free.
help.sketchup.com/en/downloading-older-versions
Kent's animations are great. I use the Fredo6 library in Sketchup but from my experience it takes hours to process a really short animation.
Thanks! I think I should do a video on that. Maybe a behind the scenes when it comes to Sketchup and animation.
@@MANaboutTOOLS i think you might break the internet with that one
Hi mate, just a quick message to say thank you for running through everything in detail, your videos are fantastic, as well as your craftsmanship! Can I just ask what programme you use for drawing up/animating all your projects etc.?
Many thanks once again!!
Thanks! I very much appreciate your support and kind words. I use Sketchup Pro.
@@MANaboutTOOLS anytime! Thank you for that!
So beautiful...super work..just wondering what the total of materials cost??thank you
