For me, the ideas in th-cam.com/users/postUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.
the author does like to from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ as another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us dont have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we wont be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.
As a professional DIYer, I love every video Mr Harbor puts out. But I know it will be an even better treat when it begins with "I've never done this before". The fear of the unknown paralyzes many people to the point that they will not try anything. Good on you Chris. Great work....again.
Kris, I've watch all of your videos and your workmanship is brilliant. You sometimes sell yourself short chap, your scarf joints were bloody fantastic and the beams sitting on the tenons first time just amplifies how precise your skills are. Well done and thank you for sharing again, I'm looking forward to the next instalment.
I took a hiatus from TH-cam, and have just seen the last 4/5 videos. (I refuse to watch current, as I like watching the progress). I don’t know what impresses me the most: 1. Your figuring out how to join those beams 2. Your craftsmanship in actually creating the join 3. Your balancing in a tractor bucket whilst lifting that beam up by yourself 4. The EXACT fit of that beam. Always amazed at your organic creations and methods to achieve same. 8 also love that you care so much for the stewardship of your land. ❤❤
love the long term vision for this functional bit of engineered art. Kris, you're creating something that is sure to last and will be appreciated by many. thanks for having us all along for the adventure.
Referencing 'building the timber frame house' by Tedd Benson and 'the complete Japanese joinery' by Hideo Sato and Yasua Nakahara, 'Measure and construction of the Japanesehouse' by Heino Engel and 'the art of Japanese joinery' by Kiyosi Seike (forgot how many timber frame books I had), you definitely made those scarf joints perfectly, you could have gotten away without the lags but over built is always better.
I thing John is correct and that the joint you made will definitely hold. If forced, the only weakness I could possibly point out is the bit of short grain at the top, which is why if you google "Japanese scarf joint" you will see the extra bit of half-lap complexity going on and a lower slope angle. This puts more material above the area where the rotational forces are at their maximum. But I think yours are fine and with the "belt and suspenders" approach with the SS lag bolt you can sleep easy. And yours are certainly less complicated to make. Thanks for taking the time to reproduce the template for us. And wow, those mortise and tenons are fantastic. They are a deceptively difficult joint - especially if you do them by hand. Doing all that maneuvering yourself getting those beams up there was inspiring stuff. This is a great project to watch.
Hi. I have been following you for a short while now and I am really puzzled about how you dispose of the waste like bath water or simply the dirty dishes water. How do you recycle this or get rid of on the day to day basis? I am started getting really interested in off grid and all the little details of it. Thank you in advance. Really great stuff.
@@sputhod8462 I would imagine he uses biodegradable soaps and let's it go to the trees mayb through some sort of grey water bed with plants that don't mind
Those joints are extremally strong.. I seen barns a few hundred years old with those same type joints.. They knew what they were doing back then... Loved it, great job..
This is just like going back a couple of thousand years and watching the craftsmen building. It's wonderful to watch. Thank you so much sharing. Pure gold.
That scarf looks like the standard Japanese scarf - has worked great for 100s of years. That satisfying 'clunk as the beam fell into place must have given you a tremendous feeling of satisfaction, Kris - and me! Well done, such meticulous measurement and joinery pays out in the end.
I love the fact he says "I've never done this before..." before coming up with his own way of doing things and instantly starting to teach the rest of us... Great work Kris
28:53... You do realise don't you Kris, that there would have been a Mexican Wave of delight on your behalf rippling round the entire world - we're all sharing in your pleasure at an amazing job well done! You never cease to amaze so many of us! :)
Jay T - With regards to the "Mexican Wave:" The wave is not Mexican. It started in the USA and it got known in Mexico by the televised games of the Seattle Seahawks (American football). A lot of commentators call it the "Mexican Wave" because they saw it for the first time by the Soccer World Cup in Mexico 1986. From Wikipedia: While there is general disagreement about the precise origin of the wave, most stories of the phenomenon's origin suggest that the wave first started appearing at North American sporting events during the late 1970s and early 1980s. Krazy George Henderson perfected the wave at National Hockey League games, followed later by the earliest available video documentation of a wave, which he led on October 15, 1981, at a Major League Baseball game in Oakland, California. This wave was broadcast on TV, and George has used a videotape of the event to bolster his claim as the inventor of the wave. On October 31, 1981, a wave was created at a University of Washington football game against Stanford at Husky Stadium in Seattle, and the cheer continued to appear during the rest of that year's football season. Although the people who created the first wave in Seattle have acknowledged Henderson's wave at a baseball stadium, they claimed to have popularized the phenomenon. **University of Washington** Robb Weller, a cheerleader at the University of Washington from 1968 to 1972 and later co-host of the television show Entertainment Tonight, indicated in September 1984 that the school's early 1970s cheerleading squad developed a version of the wave that went from the bottom to top, instead of side to side, as a result of difficulties in getting the generally inebriated college audience members to timely raise and lower cards: “Actually …there were two Waves. I was a cheerleader at the University of Washington from 1968 to 1972 when we started the first Wave. We tried to have card tricks, but the kids would imbibe too much and the card tricks would get all goofed up; then we'd try card tricks with the kids using their bodies as cards and that wouldn't work. Finally we tried a Wave in the student section and it caught on but that Wave was different from this Wave. It would go from the bottom to top instead of side to side." The first wave at the University of Washington's Husky Stadium occurred on Halloween 1981, at the prompting of Dave Hunter (Husky band trumpet player) and the visiting alumni cheerleader Weller.
Busted Wagon Ranch built a large timber frame workshop with bedrooms upstairs. He did one heck of a lot of scarf joints. He went to school for it. The ranch is in Idaho. They have a good playlist. Hope this helps Kris!
Proper impressed that not only did the tendons line up square and parallel in the round wood but that the finished beam was level ! Really tricky with wood that’s not square cut and that big ! Great stuff. I really enjoy watching, thanks
You know what, Kris? I think you might actually be getting pretty good at all this! Could tell you were well chuffed to see those beams fit so well. Good job!
Just rewatched your why go off grid video from 6 years ago…… wow how right your were with everything you said and just look at what you have achieved…..you are a inspiration!
Nothing short of master craftsmanship such beauty and character in natural building methods no house could ever compare and I really mean that I'd sell my house tomo to live the life you do but my wife refuses Kris you are 1 very very lucky talented man
Thanks for posting and sharing! I was so surprised and pleased that AFTER taking us through the process of scarfing the timbers together, you went ahead and took your viewers along for the installation! Wow that was very generous! Thank you!
Never done this before,the start of an interesting plan by Mr Kris.you make my week following your thought process and applying the skill to make it work.just followed another carpenter on scarf joint and you got it Spot on. your are a man of talent my friend.respect from Cornwall.🤗
Your knowledge and confidence in anything you do absolutely blows my mind I've struggled to find any vids whereby your confidence has exceeded you. what an incredible grafter you are 👌💯
My Grandfather was a carpenter joiner and I have some of this handmade block planes with his initials indented into them. I'm mostly an armchair carpenter but your skills are amazing Kris your very modest and I'm jealous. An amazing lifestyle you've Grafted for I look forward to every video you post. RESPECT
Thank you for sharing your skills with us and the learning process also. I can't imagine the young men and women who want to learn the easy way ... like you said ... it can get complicated. Thanks Kris.
Kris, you don't have clue how much enjoyment you have given to your viewers every time you nailed your work to perfection. Our pleasure is yours Kris, and thanks for bringing all these feel good contents on your work.
Wow that’s awesome, never seen this done before, looks super strong for sure. Awesome place your building. I am following love this stuff appreciate you sharing, until next time
Kris, a great job 👏. Super build and design. You are building your own kingdom. Every time you build something, you can stand back and feel pride in your work and enjoy its function as you live among your own creations. Good O’. Your pal in the 🇺🇸🙏🐻.
I don't normally comment but I love when a plan comes together. I felt the same as you when I built a railway sleeper rail fence, 2 x 2.7m panels long all by myself. Man they were heavy and getting the mortise and tenons to just slide in was hard with just 2 hands. Your happiness brought mine back all over again. :)
Amazing job Kris, love the way you are so modest/ never done this before, and hey presto perfect fit. What an accomplishment , the workshop is truly coming together. You should be very pleased and proud! I can't wait for the next video.
What a great trick with the grass! We machinists use a very similar technique when trying to get a surface very flat, we use a master that is known to be extremely flat and cover the whole surface with ink. You then mate the two parts, remove, and you can see all the high points because the ink is rubbed off. Then you can use a carbide scraper to take down the high points. Pretty amazing that our most high-tech machinery still needs to be scraped in by hand.
I reckon I'm quite pleased with that. I learned a long time ago whenever I catch myself thinking what the hell is Kris doing - now I just think, you'll see, you'll see.
Your satisfaction when the two wall plates went in for the pitched roof, was felt across the digital gap. Man, I would have been so chuffed that I would have done a dance! (I can't dance!)
Fantastic Craft. Love working with big timber. Kris you should add a Roubo Workbench to your list of projects. Very satisfying to build and to use to build other projects!
Hey Thanks for that nomenclature Steve Lightning! Jupiter is brightest in August so the Gods are with this kid. Sometimes I wonder if Kris isn’t a descendant of a few of them. Truly an amazing young man.
Oh my....you are good!! Some say that and can’t back it up but you...Kris.. are amazing!!! I hope your body does not fail your mind before it’s time. Great video.
Heya Kris... by way of nothing, just wanted to say that I'm slowly working thru all your videos in this workshop series. You are a huge inspiration, and I wish you nothing but the very best and a long, happy life mate! Cheers.
Nice tidy work mate. not read through the comments, so excuse if others have said. A long time ago when i was building, we did exactly that joint for a base plate in an old Victorian house. It was supporting 3 stores above it all made of brick, and a basement below. obviously the weight was spread out, but am sure that amount of bricks and roof weighed a lot more than a van :) If you want to test it safely, you can always strap the bucket of the tractor to it, and then pull the bucket down to lift the tractor. but to be honest Kris, i am more than confident for you. stay safe and hi to Dot
Wonderfully crafted kris, your property is really going to be spectacular when it is all complete. I would love to put a planted flower garden on there for you!
So enjoyable to hear/watch you laugh with relief and pride as the the timber fell right in as it was meant. I can fully feel your relief and pride in the same stroke, beautiful work!
Simple math and geometry is how the Egyptian and the Mayans did it, and so can you!! You’ve done it correctly sir, and a fine job laying it out. Keep up the great work, Friend!!💪🏼👍🏻
That's really really cool! I love Japanese joinery and have studied it extensively. I never noticed that the formula for coming up with a scarf joint is essentially the golden ratio. It's amazing how many times the golden ratio appears throughout nature
I am an new subscriber. Wow, I love your video's so much that I have been going back and catching up on the video's you have made. Thanks for sharing your life with us! David from Omaha, NE
impressive as always! every episode I am impressed by how much bang for your buck you get out of that little tractor, barely an episode where it doesn't come in handy for something

One like per person just seems a pitiful response for such perfection. I uttered the same celebratory HA,HA! As each beam fell home. BRAVO Maestro!
In Norway we call this "Fransk lås" (French Lock/Joint). I'm bookmarking this as THE video how to make it. Extremely very well done Kris.
In France we call it "Trait de Jupiter" (Jupiter's Bolt) :)
Norway hey
You do a wonderful job making your joints. I respect your craftsmanship in this type of work. Thanks for sharing!
Dang boy! You are good! I'm 76 years old and this is my first time to see this excellence in wood work. It boggles the mind!

I don't know if it was more amazing how first fit up went, or that you were even able to get those massive beams up there solo!
You have a perfect balance of showing and explaining. This is one of the few channels where I'm never tempted to skip ahead in the video.
Those joints are extremally strong.. I seen barns a few hundred years old with those same type joints.. They knew what they were doing back then... Loved it, great job..
You have got to love a good old scarf joint 🤠
Or at the very least, survivorship bias shows it's a good technique!
This is just like going back a couple of thousand years and watching the craftsmen building. It's wonderful to watch. Thank you so much sharing. Pure gold.

Loved the laugh of victory, you have every right to be proud got both on first try!
Always a pleasure seeing a real craftsman at work. Well done you.
Ha! Amazing work! Smiled ear to ear seeing that wall plate slide on first try!!
I love the sounds when you are working with wood, that joint is amazing so clever. I brilliant that they fit first time

Brilliant,Brilliant!!! Humility and competence rolled into one 👍🌳
1:40 "Typical" Let the frustrations and joys begin! Thank you for sharing.
Always a pleasure to watch you work, Kris. You make it look so easy, which I'm sure it is not.
I reckon I'm quite pleased with that. I learned a long time ago whenever I catch myself thinking what the hell is Kris doing - now I just think, you'll see, you'll see.
Same, lol!
You have every single right to be pleased with your self, well done.
You sir, are an artist.
I can only mimic the sentiments shared by Mr. David Deen. Thank you Mr. Harbor!
That wasn’t an ordinary one man job …luckily you are far from ordinary …superb work .👍
Your satisfaction when the two wall plates went in for the pitched roof, was felt across the digital gap. Man, I would have been so chuffed that I would have done a dance! (I can't dance!)
Fantastic Craft. Love working with big timber. Kris you should add a Roubo Workbench to your list of projects. Very satisfying to build and to use to build other projects!
Beautiful workmanship! Reminiscent of Japanese wood house building.
I found myself holding my breath and praying while you moved that beam!!! I do the same when my husband is building things on our homestead 😳
The French name for scarf joint is "trait de Jupiter" or Jupiter's line
Because it's shaped like a lightning bolt, right?
@@HaylonWoodworking Yes. From the Roman god of the sky and lightning!
Hey Thanks for that nomenclature Steve Lightning! Jupiter is brightest in August so the Gods are with this kid. Sometimes I wonder if Kris isn’t a descendant of a few of them. Truly an amazing young man.
Oh my....you are good!! Some say that and can’t back it up but you...Kris.. are amazing!!! I hope your body does not fail your mind before it’s time. Great video.
Huge respect for all your square wood joinery Kris, the pole joinery is just spooky, I'd tie myself in knots mate.
I love to see a Happy Kris!!!
Well done
Heya Kris... by way of nothing, just wanted to say that I'm slowly working thru all your videos in this workshop series. You are a huge inspiration, and I wish you nothing but the very best and a long, happy life mate! Cheers.
I love sitting here in my armchair eating sweets and snacks and drinking beers watching someone else work, it's great.

Brilliant, Absolute Pleasure to watch an artist at work...
The Japanese woodworker would be proud of that job💎
Wonderfully crafted kris, your property is really going to be spectacular when it is all complete. I would love to put a planted flower garden on there for you!
Your craftsmanship continues to blow my mind sir! You are good!
Skill plus a touch of luck equals great happiness. Nice work.
You ain't Mr Chickadee.... but this is more understandably achieved stuff.... and you keep on making your empire with every move....BRAVO
So enjoyable to hear/watch you laugh with relief and pride as the the timber fell right in as it was meant. I can fully feel your relief and pride in the same stroke, beautiful work!
Ditto…..
So absolutely true!
haha so nice to see my favorite permaculturist follows my favorite builder
The experts said it all. Just feel humble when I see your work. I think the word is Respect ✊🏻
Simple math and geometry is how the Egyptian and the Mayans did it, and so can you!!
You’ve done it correctly sir, and a fine job laying it out. Keep up the great work, Friend!!💪🏼👍🏻
07:09 this is pretty similar to how dentists work. They use a piece of dyied paper between the teeth in order to indicate where they need to file. 👍
Was just going to say the same thing!👍🏼
Pretty good! Nay nay
You are brilliant. You are an absolute craftsman. Well done Sir.
Nice one Kris, your reaction when the beam fit like a glove! Classic joy a tradesman feels when his calcs are spot on! 👍
That's really really cool! I love Japanese joinery and have studied it extensively. I never noticed that the formula for coming up with a scarf joint is essentially the golden ratio. It's amazing how many times the golden ratio appears throughout nature
