Making Old-fashioned Wood Shingles (or Shakes) - The FHC Show, ep 19
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 ธ.ค. 2018
- Pa Mac demonstrates how to make wood shingles (otherwise known as wood shakes) for roofing material to go on his new log chicken house. Using old-fashioned tools and simple raw materials, this old time, self-sufficient, and sustainable skill can be practiced by young and old alike on the small farm. This is episode #19 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show. (A later episode will cover installation methods for wood shakes/shingles.)
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books or DVD's by Pa Mac at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)

What happened to my mentor 😢? Hands down the best content that youtube ever had to offer. You have helped me so much over the last 5 years. Thank you vary much for sharing so much.
THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST VIDEO I'VE EVER SEEN ON TH-cam!
One of the most well constructed videos I've ever seen. Content, editing, pauses, narrative, overlays, history, music, humor combine for a delightful watch.
I did this with my Dad when I was a teenager. We had a friend of my Dad's who wanted wood shingles on his barn roof and he owned several hundred acres of a creek bottom loaded with nice White Oak trees. My Dad showed me how to pick out only the best straight grained White Oaks for this job. We cut all the trees into bolts and stacked them until they were nice and dry. That fall we rived the shingles out of those nicely dried bolts. It was quite the project and learning experience. The rancher was happy and he paid us well.
I wish you could teach me how! I know I can teach myself n learn s as I go. But thinkit’d sure shorten the learning curve quite a bit to work with someone who knew what they were doing a day or two.😂
Underrated TH-camr 100%
I appreciate that, J_lite80!
You Sir, are a legend.
Awesome video series on building you log chicken house with shakes roof! Can't wait to see her finished. Thanks for the videos! My beautiful wife and I just moved to a 100 acre wooded farm in Western Kentucky very close to where I was born and raised. We're loving here on our farm. We got 12 chickens and enjoying getting ready to plant our garden. We also have beehives and looking to increase our hives this year. Your channel sends me back to me childhood where both my parents and grandparents came from the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm enjoying learning from you! Thank you again for your channel and videos
So glad to hear you're enjoyin' the show, James. I wish you and Denisse the best with your new property!
Your videos have hands down the best music.....
I appreciate that, Jacob!
I definitely learned something new today.
I love this channel. The music, the editing, the historical and practical information, the humor. Thanks for the knowledge, Pa Mac.
Sincerely,

One of the most talented guys on TH-cam. So refreshing to see something other than product review, guitar covers, and bushcraft meals. Awesome talent!
These are my favorite videos on TH-cam, by far.
Good to see you again Sir!
Hands down my favorite channel out there.
Now this is the way to start off the new year!!! Thanks for the video!
Great video, thanks for sharing with us.
Truly the best channel on TH-cam. So smart, educational, funny, bright, and thought provoking. And maybe I’m gushing here but also the best edited and soundtracked as well! Please keep it up! Best!!
If your gushin', I'm blushin'.
Thanks for the kind words, Drew. I appreciate it.
This might be the best channel on TH-cam.
Made the start of my year better! Good to see you are still at it, and judging from the piles of shakes it's why the length of time between videos was a little longer. Thanks!
I absolutely love your videos, I know most of us here do, and I'd like to say from the bottom of my heart that when i see a new video from anyone else, they never ever excite me as much as yours, I literally drop whatever I'm doing to watch your videos! And rewatch them! They are inspiring and educational and funny! I am so grateful that you take the time to put these up for us, and I wish you and yours a blessed new year!
That's exactly what I wanted to say!
Finaly Finaly Finaly!!!!! You have no idea how much iv missed your videos!!! Please keep them coming i know its hard work but the information you bring to the table is more helpful than you will ever realize!!

After a long night working a massive New Year's party, this is what I needed. Thank you Pa Mac!
Always great to see a new video.
I'm making my daughter a tree house. 8 foot by 9 foot. Using stomps and logs. I have a huge down tree. And thought, house did they make wood shingles in the ol days. I like your work area, with the Y tree and the 3 stumps under it. Thanks for sharing. I'm an expert now. Or at least have enough courage to try. Thanks for the amazing video nicely done. Truly inspired thank you.
You're truly welcome, Defaul Use
Great video, my favorite part was about being discouraged of the time it takes to craft with wood compared to the time it.takes God to grow the tree.
Glad to see a new video. Thank you so much for the knowledge.
Great way to start 2019 with a new FHP video! I really enjoy them a lot thanks for sharing.

I am happy to see you return. I maybe wrong I haven't seen any videos in a while. I hope all is well with you and your family. Merry Christmas and a Happy New year.
So now you've got the shakes!
Thanks for some good instructions and a wry sense of humor!
I love when you produce content for your channel. Your the best. I just wish it happened more often.
Excellent. Thanks
Great video.
There you are! Thank you for the video.
Great video as always and happy new year!
Great video. You put so much effort and love for the detail in this video. Good work!!
Thank you, Outdoor
Happy new year from Holland.
great video!
Going to and fro with your froe! Also, standing on shakes can give you the shakes! Great video!!
Happy New Year....I occasionally froe a bit of Western Red Cedar or straight grain Western Larch myself...thumbs up. Also...we used this method to make our fur stretches .....back in the day...LOL !!.......dig it. Thank You. Really enjoy the pickin.....
Happy New year.
Yay! I can't wait to see the shingles go up! I made a second chicken run for a second flock of laying hens. It took me a while to do, the fencing and all. I also renovated a little coop my son and I made together. In the future, I can also use the newer coop/run to raise meat birds. Now all I need is a Pa Mac video on how to butcher a chicken. I'd also love to see you fashion a right nifty chicken plucker!
Just came across your channel. I have always loved wood. You make me want to build a chicken house. No chickens though! Maybe small playhouse for grandchildren? Yeah, in my dreams!
You can do it, Lisa!
Love it
Happy new year, my friend! There's no sound quite like the crackling of shakes splitting. Thanks for the video!
Good job
Love it,,,,,,,,, finally got some more videos that of you. Thank you very much. 👍🏼 #782

Thanks for watchin', Aliena
we always look forward to a new video,and would love more of them,but as you said about patience.our favorite video is the one of you falling face first in the creek,whilst looking for water,still makes me laugh.great job as always,and thank you.

Wow, you still alive ... Happy new year.
" Funny Funny Funny " First time view and already hooked .
awesome man :D
Watched, liked and subscribed.
Try and fit shakes flat from the rear as the frontblast longer by far split not chopped !
Try using a tire tube a couple times around a round then split with a fro in place chestnut works well too !
So glad to see a video from you again!! Such great info and entertainment too😁keep em coming!
impressive video maker
You had me worried that something bad happened to you , thank you for the video a very nice way to start the year . Happy New year and in good health .
nice job.
Dad showed you how to make shingles, but no lesson on the safe way of standing on top of the rickety bundles yet. Well maybe in another episode.....Happy New Year!
Made my day........!!!
Good video gary
Thank you, rcr898
Happy New Year Pa Mac from your fans in Washington County in NW Arkansas just a few miles up across the river.
Happy New Years!
When making wood shingles, just remember one important thing. When all else fails, they's always good for firewood.
