- We finished milling the giant ash tree. Off grid winter project: Making Planks and Posts from giant ash tree. We're back in the woods and Ryan turns the giant ash tree into planks and uses an interesting technique to make 4 by 4 inch posts from it. It's one of the last off grid winter projects as spring is just around the corner and that is when we can start to build our first project in the woods. Now that the planks have dried out and not cracked or warped, and we have posts made, we are ready to get to building something in the woods. Big thanks to Jackery for sponsoring the episode!

Great device there but are their other free ways to charge other than solar ? thinking like a dynamo for wind or river charging ?
Mike, where did you get that metal food grill you use?
That is so awesome
Have you though about providing habitat for solitary bees by drilling holes in rounds/pancakes to give them nesting crevices. I'm not an experts but recently saw a video encouraging it.
Nothing
I like seeing you do this kind of stuff with your dad. Too many kids will never know that feeling. Take care.
Yes I like to see also, I had the same upbringing with my dad, he was a car and bike nut, and from a early age I was helping my dad with anything to with his car. He showed me how to drive when I was 6-7 yrs old, but no cars on the road then. Another thing I like about this channel is being out doors, kids today should learn from this about nature, instead of playing video games 🙄🙄grandpa head on again 😂😂
Brilliant video today! I’ve always liked the idea of locally sourced marterials being used for projects
Trying our best to do this as much as possible.
When I left school I went to work in a timber yard. My job was to put the winding sticks in between the fresh green cut boards. I had to get five sticks evenly spaced and straight across before the older blokes were ready with the next board. The first few days were hell as they never slowed down - time being money to them. Crushed hands and arms, bruises like dark plums and so cold in Winter under a Dutch barn. We'd burn sawdust in a barrel, brew tea and cook sausages. Hard work but great fun. I envy you your youth - seize the day!
Teaching about craftsmen working in the forests is as important as teaching the basics of camp craft...and is equally interesting. I am hoping you will build 'Ashcroft', a successor to the seldom-seen pallet wood cabin. I hope this time that there is more room to properly install the G-stove system.
Hey mike I am doing beter now I have binged al youre videos and a met a lovely girl who is helping me with my depression. Thanks a lot mate💪🏼❤
I like the idea of putting the politicians up there, they could be something for the Raptors to feed on, I think you'd need a bigger forest though! :)
🙏🤟👍💚 luv to see father and son working together Blessings
Wow! God works in mysterious ways. Who would think that losing a huge tree would provide so much goodness. Good luck on all your projects.
Great example of making the best use out of decent material which would otherwise rot where it fell. Very informative. Thanks guys
What a great video 📹 to watch keep them coming 👍, as I in bed getting over a stroke I had in February. Keep safe to you and your dad and mum and family 👪 from colin bradford in Milton Keynes uk 🇬🇧 🙏
Today the osprey are back in my area. I live in the East Kootenay BC Along the Columbia River between Radium and Golden. All along the highway 95 has a bunch of the nests on poles. My grandchildren call the osprey 'the glider birds' Awesome video -- Thank You!!!
Please haul the pallet wood cabin over to the new site. Reuse it there. It is a nice bit of construction. You have plenty of shelters at the old site that can not be moved. You may need to build rail/skis to make it portable as you jack it up.
Fab video. I love the way you and your Dad work together on videos and seem to get on so well. Great relationship!
I absolutely appreciate your skill and knowledge. But Ryan's equipment and knowledge has really given you a fantastic leg up on the ability to create a cabin in your woodland built from lumber harvested from your woodland. Also, if you need a product to help control the drying process, also look into Anchor Seal.
Thank you , Mike .
🐺
Love the new Project with Dad, So glad to see you doing it together. Thanks Mate great content
Good work. Just a note, completely dry wood (kiln dried softwood) is usually used for stickers, particularly for maple (Acer species) because of the staining. Good luck.
You can even use all that sawdust for a heater rammed down into a drum with a lid. Awesome job with all the timber there gentlemen.
Nice to see the dynamic duo side by side doing what they do best.that hackery is some piece of kit,so handy for your woodland projects.those planks are looking sweet.great too see that great old tree becoming something new.
I sense a big project from father and son again. This is gonna be a fun and watch-a-series build to be. I hope its happening.
ugh, I remember using gaffs in comm school. I slipped and caught a massive splinter from the pole. Respect for those tree climbs.
My absolute favorite thing to build are bird houses I have made hundreds of them and have sold them. People's favorite ones I make are the ones with a plexy glass side so that the birds can be seen. I was actually thinking about making one putting a wifi small camera in it so that it can be viewed from your phone. Anyhow great video I love the these ones when it's you and your dad both I just wish you would upload more often lol
I’m only here for the campfire pan cooking. Nice work boys 👍🏼😃
Responsible forestry is the best kind of forestry
Very interesting. I just had 12 foot
by 30 diameter pine tree milled outside my house by a guy with a portable sawmill.
I am looking forward to more videos re your new lumber. ❤❤🇨🇦
I received my Jackery 1000 and solar panels yesterday. Thanks for the discount. Very impressed with the charge up time. Sunny day in the garden. Useful bit of kit for charging up my Makita batteries, same as you have. I've got about twenty of them, some pretty old and knackered, like me!
Your Sawmill and your jackery just paid for all that Lumber great video, the price of wood these days everybody will be resorting to these methods
Really Interesting episode lovely seeing Dad in it x
I would loved to see you build a nice little cabin with this wood. Or maybe a cabin built with a mix of pallet wood and the wood you got from the tree.
You should definitlly create a big table out of that wood for your family to gather around. Such a table will stay in your family for ages
Excited to see what the lumber will be used for. Loving this new series.
Check the roots on the fallen ash, the one pointing up in the air could be a nice source for carving materials
I like watching your woodland series and seeing what you'll do what it
It will be interesting to see what you build with all that lumber. Great show. 👍❤😁
Looking forward to episode 9, my woodland life, free ash wood cabin
Good old dad, he will work all day for a sausage and egg sammo and a cup of tea .Well done Greame, and thanks for a very interesting program Mike, well done to you both and best wishes as always 😎
merci pour cet épisode fabuleux
Hopefully within five years time I can afford my own forrest. It's very inspiring to watch these vids.
My Brother in law's built their homes with rough lumber taken off their land. It's doable on the cheap but don't forget your propery taxes will be for what your home can sell for, not what it costs you to build.
@@TheJavaGuru78 I don't, that's the problem. My family does own some land. But it's not *my* land.
Thank you for the video! ☺♥
You can innoculate hardwoods like Ash with mycellium spore covered wooden dowels, drill holes, tap in dowels, seal with beeswax = free shiitake mushrooms. Awesome project you have going here. 👍 If you want to learn more about it mycologist Paul Stamets has some good books.
Well mates…….another fine mess you’ve gotten yourselves into! Ha Ha!! Just kidding. Those planks you have are worth a lot of pounds! The posts alone are worth $30-40 a piece, maybe more! Love to see dear old Dad at your side! Smart painting the ends. I can’t wait to what you do with all this fine ash. Hope you kept the smaller pieces for handles and spoons. No waste! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
Wait for the Jackery 2000. I can't wait
I really enjoyed this video. Seems like the perfect getaway, bit of woodwork, bit of food with a bit of peace and quiet. Heaven
So much saw dust around this Ash tree. Good thing it should decompose fairly quickly
I'm from the South and u talk funny but ur kool. Love ur shows.
Rabbit is good.
Really enjoying the woodland videos, great content.
you should use the bark on slabs that came off when you squared the log as woodcrafted benches and or tables
Awesomely happy vid! I am also looking forward to seeing how you do the hedge laying :)
Great episode Mike that tree has produced some fantastic bit can't wait to see what project your going to do next atvb jimmy 😎😎👍👍
I really appreciate you and you dad sharing this journey with us
Try to make sure the stickers are in line vertically so the weight of the stack doesn't distort the boards.
Wow! That sure ended up being a huge amount of usable wood. That’s awesome. It’s neat to see Ryan use his skills. Good work guys. Look forward to seeing what you’re up to next.
Honestly, I know absolutely nothing about cutting wood. But I have to tell you I was thoroughly captivated by this video! Not sure what it is that intrigues me - but who cares! This is awesome to watch!
They would make a awesome snack bar or coffee table.
Your videos are so lovely, it is a joy to see you use every scrap of wood. Such a contrast to the barbarians chipping beautiful ancient trees in the pursuit of HS2!
Amazing how much wood you got!! Looking forward to seeing what you do with it...
They would make a great table top
Being a female a glamping pod would be nice in the woods si I could enjoy the woods in spring and autumn when its a bit chilly. Please leave a couple of large planks they would make a nice outdoor tables
Have you thought about making a Medieval/Viking style Chest out of the planks, using a half round as the chest lid. Use Treenails to hold it together, or Iron work if you feel up to it? The Iron work on the corners isn't complicated to make, i have no skills and reckon i'd be up to it.
Great job, guys! Way to recycle !!!
Great job Ryan did! He climbed that tree like we normal walk on ground lol. Love this video, Mike. When the WW2 series comes back? 😁
Its just dawned on me that TA fishing is your dad ! good stuff!
Hope I have property like yours 😁🙏
His dad Chanel is good totally awesome fishing learnt a lot from Grahame’s sea fishing episodes
very good info on PVA glue, Lur from UK 🇬🇧
Looking forward to your project.
I just found out that you can convert thermal heat to electricity & rig it up to a mppt charger for your Jackery by placing it over the fire. Basically it entails hooking up several if not more TEC Peltier modules that are around 40mm x 40mm x 3mm thick in series sandwiched between an aluminium plate an an aluminium box to place ice water in. When the bottom plate gets hot while it is suspended high above the flames of the fire or sitting on top of your portable indoor fireplace then it will also heat up the opposite side of the aluminium box which you place ice into & this will create a combined high voltage & high wattage that then goes into your mppt charger that then plugs into your Jackery box.
Great episode! I’m pleased you escaped most of the bad storms. What an awesome job Ryan did too - nice one! 👍🏻
Outstanding video, this is a brilliant series.
A good watch and a nice bit of cladding for a wooden hut there, maybe a fishing hut if your dad gets his hands on it 🤣👍
Love to see the progress.
Make some benches out of slabs of ash from squaring the log up.
Safety First!! Great video!
Ryan - What an awesome bloke to have on hand! Super awesome to see him get creative and be willing to get the raptor nest atop that stem. Excellent work all. Stay safe and well!
I don't know what they pay him but it's probably not enough, Ryan's awesome
Awesome. Really enjoying these videos.
Ash is such an awesome wood. Great grain pattern.
What you were making was the start of a cant . A timber squared on four sides. In the states we use can’t hooks or peavies to manipulate the logs where we want the. These are basically late levers that allows logs to be moved. Great video. Good to see you work with your dad.
Have you thought about trying to inoculate the old root system with mushroom spores as that'll help release the nutrients and give you something to cook up at camp. Shouldn't be hard I THINK you'd just get some spores a sterilised grow medium/bag combine them and after its inoculated drill the root thumb in growing medium and maybe seal it with wax
I think a new cabin is on the cards maybe a cabin for 2 this time Mike. 😎👍👍
Great job, I liked it. I also recently started making videos about hiking and bushcraft and it's pretty good. Greetings from Belarus!
What a lovely father son experience for you guys, great series, fully enjoying it !
Glad your woodland didn’t suffer to badly with the storms
Excellent job 👏 NC USA 🇺🇸
All Got for jour and jour Woodland
I did enjoy this episode very much, and I am looking forward to the next one.
Thank you.
I'd pick away at the root system that's alot of good fire wood
Oh, pretty. [cough] You could make an awesome table out of those large rounds. Buff, nice light stain to draw the grain. Great video. I especially like the nesting board. Go Dad!
That’s some good looking wood 😉
A LOT of work done for one episode! Congratulations! Many thanks for keeping us updated. This is fascinating.
You are the best youtuber I know of
Wonderful!! Some very good timber to use for all kinds of projects 👍👍👍👍👍 Great job young man , so happy for you. Stay safe and Blessings to you and the whole family. 🙏👍🙏🛐
another fab vid thank you south wales uk
I wonder if you could use one of those fireplace fans that convert thermal heat to electricity & rig it up to a mppt charger for your Jackery? If you could series connect 3 or 4 of those fan bases to create a higher voltage then it would be able to charge non stop over night on the fire or fireplace.
It ’s the best!
G’day from Aus.
You are really getting into it now. Liking the battery unit.
Hopefully as you get into spring you can spend more time there and get a good crack on.
I’d be making a post and waney edge lean-to store and workshop from the timber you’ve made….
Shelving in the shelter
GREAT JOB, BLESS YOU.
Great video sharing
A level is important for squaring up logs
Really looking forward to see what this is going to be…. Love that the tree is getting put to good use and not left like so many I’ve seen after the storms!
So glad you are making good use of that resource! Thanks as always for your hard work.
