How Does Chainsaw Milled Aspen Work for Roofing? #47

- As always, I milled up my own lumber with a chainsaw, this time for the gazebo I'm building. Wood isn't cheap these days, but here in the wilderness it's almost free!
As a last effort to find something worth building with the blow-down, Quaking Aspen I decided to give it a try for roofing. It is heavy when wet and splits, cracks and warps when it dries but will it hold up once nailed in place?
I've no idea. Time will tell.

Thank you all so much for supporting this crazy endeavor! Without you folks donating to Surviving Ringworm, I wouldn't be able to even consider staying out here in the wilderness a second year making videos. You seriously blow my mind!

(As a thank you for donating $5 or more a month through Patreon, I will carve your name into the picnic table and show it in an upcoming episode.)
Hay. Well you’re in the woods playing Minecraft the rest of the world is falling apart. I envy what you are doing. When you release videos it brings joy to my day sir.
you almost need to say in every video you don't want to live in a cabin, so people stop telling you to build a cabin
really missed you last week!! didn't realize how much I looked forward to my Saturday morning ringworm and coffee.
That was pretty cool that mother nature took down the trees that you were thinking about taking down yourself. She's in the forest and listening. Your progress is great. Can't wait to see you kicking back and enjoying no bugs.
Watching your videos is very refreshing. Not stereotype and boring, I find you very funny. Yes, living in the bush (I'm Canadian), is extremely relaxing, therapeutic, and creative. Keep going man, I enjoy you. Where is your outhouse?
"My riches consist, not in the extent of my possessions, but in the fewness of my wants"--- Joseph Brotherton--- you prob seen this quote before, it speaks the truth, keep up the great work!!
That’s some good work, still watching
Missed you last week. Thought you fell. Glad you're back
Great mix of camera angles and shots, they really enhance the visual building process. You are multi-talented!
Ottawa Canada checking in to again thank you for the respite in this crazy world. You provide such a positive example of living the life while it seems society is going to hell in a handcart. Although judging by the messages from thousands like myself maybe we’ve still got hope. Ya better hope we never find you cause you’ll be swarmed by all of us who adore you.👵🏼🥰🤗
I'm thinking that rarely do you have a difficult time falling asleep. You did good, your gazebo looks great!!
Awesome build and so entertaining. Motivating me to build a tree fort for my grandsons with just the trees in my woods. Best channel I subscribe to on TH-cam. Keep up the great work!
I love your editing timing and look forward to your vids each week. Thanks for doing what you do in a most entertaining way.
I highly recommend you get a skidding cone for moving logs, it makes a huge difference. Great vids.
You need one of those "cones" attachments to put on the downed logs to enable you to pull them out without digging into the ground. Would make it tons easier on you and your ATV. Just a suggestion. Heck maybe you could fabricate such a thing... I sure enjoy watching your videos and progress...
I use a Chevy Truck hood. Makes a great skidder.
Awesome natural falls! Especially while you were gone! Wicked nice present! Outdoor kitchen material!! Yep, yep, yep!!
It's amazing what you get done in an hour Mr. Worm. Glad you're back, got a few of us a little worried last weekend. Cheers Ryan, thanks again for the spiritual enlightenment, no church needed again for me this week!
I absolutely LOVE your channel and what you are doing. You have so inspired me! PLEASE look into getting at least a 22 foot Gorilla ladder!!! You will love the functionality. and i will not be freaking out that you are standing on the top of the ladder worried that you will fall. In the woods. ALL ALONE!!!! LOL:) 😂
Best build yet ! Wow I love it . I have all same trees in northern Ontario so awesome. Bought a chainsaw mill and 572 husky to use with .. cutting a bit but I didnt think could use aspen .thanks for sharing
Today I stumbled upon your vids and I am loving them. Thank you.
Just ordered a Granberg from your link, hope you get a commish.
Quick tip when gluing the cracks... put some suction on the other side to draw the glue all the way in. My Makita blower sucks, in a good way :), not sure if your Ryobi has the same function.
Perfect screen! Catch ya next time! Thank you!!
Ryan looks great. Some day a beautiful sawmill. I see it in the future. You love building stuff and cutting wood.
hey Ryan you can also preserve wood by charring the face with your propane torch, thanks for all the great content you provide.
Hay ! Windows all the way around, seal up the rest' stick in a wood burner.Be a cozy place to hang out on old bad winter days. Open windows with screens great place on hot summer days . Find windows at salvage yards. Just a thought. I' ve got a sawmill doing about the same in the mountains of north Ga.. built sawmill shed ,tractor shed ,blacksmith shop,milled lumber for neighbor,building a storage building . Shop has overflowed with collectables.I go to flea markets and buy nails ,screws ,yard sales I've found windows .Having fun ,Just wished I had started when I was younger.Old body can't stand but so much. Have at it my friend. Looking forward for your next post.
James I’m also in north GA . South gilmer .
MISSED YOU LAST SATURDAY RYAN WORM thought you were sick??? That HAMMER IS AWESOME That is one thing I need but who needs 9 HAMMERS I DO hahaha That is something else love that HAMMER!!!
Am going to look for one for myself for my Birthday !!! Linda
One of best series I have watched, he does a wonderful job explaining and showing how he does it
You do great work I really appreciate following you
Love the progress, great work!!
Oh Goodie Hi Ryan so glad to see you back!
Came out beautiful buddy great job
This is going to be an awesome room!!
Great stuff. Can’t wait to see the next video!
Fine looking deck
You have a snatch block you could use for that quad winch? You could multiply the pulling force for those larger logs
Pockets of Rot is a great name for a punk band. The lead singer could go by the name Aspen Rotten or Sid Aspen or Aspen Vicious.
You got some real pretty boards out of those trees. Hoping the Borax works good and it seeps in good.
Excellent job but you always do good work and I enjoy watching you so keep up the good work God bless
Watching you cut the rafter tails square. Might have been good opportunity to have cut them vertical. Then have put on gutters for rain water collection. Instead of hauling water. Just a thought.....
Loving the hamper
Thanks. Coming along!
You keep rolling through these projects and with the promise of a huge haul of wood from the downed trees, I can't
wait to see where you get to next. Thanks for the great content once again and best wishes from a pandemic
challenged state. Stay healthy, stay creative...best wishes.
Awesome work Ryan! It’s looking fantastic. I think I will try your borax spray idea too, and can’t wait to see how the aspen boards hold up!!
If that water flows all year you could easily make a pool/pond to cool off in. If you use one of those little pond liners for land scape it would stay cleaner (you would stir up the mud) and give you an even better water source.
What the model of planer
You have the makings of a nice small cabin. Fully enclose it for winter to keep the wind and snow off of you. Pick yourself up a cheap wood burner. You can still put your tent inside and sleep in it.
he doesn't want to sleep inside, he prefers sleeping outside in his tent all winter.
you need a Go-Devil to pull the heavy, wet aspen logs. I had the same problem with my ATV. And use a log skate on the end of the log for the really heavy ones.
I enjoy you building an creations , maybe you have but new to your channel. An would like a link to that saw mill you are using.... Do keep up the great job !!
I know it with service and everything it’s difficult but you should try putting two episodes out a week
Good work
When is a gimmick not a gimmick? When it works (22 min.)
Another great video
Stay safe
Looks good Ryan
Wow. Just wow.
Ah Ha ! Blessings Abound, Brotherman . U R 2 Kule ! lol
How about a cordless skill saw. Less off line cuts and no planing.?
Love your work...Dee Dee
Nice work.
Redford and Nolte were cast perfectly for the movie
TH-camrs that take a 30 minute video to put up two stick-built walls should watch a couple of your videos!
A board-stretching tool…had to chuckle at that comment! 😁
This is Scott I live a little bit north of Montreal I do live out in the woods Lakefront beautiful place I've been here for over 20 years I do live alone and it does make me nervous when I see you with a chainsaw on a ladder been-there-done-that I did have an incident one time with a chainsaw got my leg scared the piss out of me but actually it only cut through my jeans and never touch me I've had a couple other incident for example bring in firewood in in the winter time and falling on the ice with the whole arm full of firewood I had some slight injuries but being up north by yourself in the woods I'm definitely aware that I am by myself and at best hospitals over an hour away
Cool! Keep at it, Scott. Stay safe!
Ive been watching your videos for. A bit now a d I love how you put names on the table like that
So awesome worm
Looks great!
All of this for a sun shade for the tent in summer. :D
If you can find it in audiobook listen to The Hunting Trip by William E. Butterworth. Of all the hundreds of books I've read it is the one I seriously laughed out loud at. Like people looking at you funny wondering why you're laughing kinda funny. Now that I think about it I may reread it.
Another woodworking episode.
But you save time. Why don't you turn the logs and square all 4 sides?
Then don't need to do trimming of each board afterwards.
And cut a 1x1 or 2x2 (you've got enough wood, for sure) then mount to the floor as bottom to hold screen
I'd love to see you build a really tall lookout tower with those huge trees, that'd be something!
Like a Forest Ranger Fire lookout tower!
Cool idea! Similar to the “Deer Castle” lol
Just like to echo some comments already made. You could put some type of sealant on the roof and then enclose the sides to make a very nice little cabin. Nice little wood stove.
You need a little logging arch!
Invest in one or two of those portable small a/c available now. Because you don’t need to have a heat stroke 🥵 for the sake of “roughing it”, we are talking about your health and safety!
As always I'm loving your vids BUT you seem to be missing something on your table.............my name.Dont make me come out there and sort it myself lol
I have often wondered...why you did not put a couple of decking boards at the top first ... then return to the bottom to start the regular decking routine
Just thinking maybe you can cut a thick slice of a round and shape it into a sled, when you drop a log, put the sled under the front and spike the log to the sled, tie it on and drag it without the log nose diving into the dirt or snow.
Wouldn't it have been easier to use the chainsaw mill to make the log square on all sides before cutting the planks?
They would all be closer to flush, lot less cutting and measuring.
felicitaciones, esta quedando hermoso, saludos de uruguy ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
man am I jelous of that timber you have, it's like marshmellow compared to the stuff Ive got to work with on my place! (stringybark, Australia)
Love it!
Get yourself a small skidding arch. You can move really big trees with ease with a quad and it’s a lot easier on your quad.
28:54 here we see a wild 4 wheeler in its natural habitat claiming its prey
great vid thank you!!!
Would you mind sharing what winch accessory you have attached to your Granberg G777? Thanks.
@ 37:02. Help from the Universe, nice.
Do you split your own cedar shakes for shingles?
I loved "A Walk in the Woods" I think Katz who's real name was Matt is dead now.
I wonder about sprinkling a bit of borax on the joist before nailing down boards 🤔. Maybe just a waste idk.
Hi Ringworm man. You say "free wood?" Free if you own the land?
Thanks, I had to know.
A wood fire heated hot tub off the deck of the gazebo would be an interesting upgrade.
He has one, maybe he can move it over. ;)
He made a neat hot tub!
borax? can someone explain this to me? How many coats? Mix rate?
I use aspen in MI to build too. This tree is prone to blow over and is soft wood for the bugs to penetrate to the core. The Japanese developed a technique to compensate for the severe, soft wood checking. They selected a side of a timber and cut a grove down the center to create the "check" and positioned to timber for best results. Checkout Mr. Chickadee channel for a view of the process.
What are those hold-down things called, the U-shaped ones that you pound in with a hammer to clamp the boards while you cut?
They are called Log Dogs
Build some walls and you've got a cabin, or a nice tent shelter for winter.
but he likes just sleeping outside in his tent all winter.
Would burning 🥵 your wood protect it.
Sedaris is f*cking hilarious. 😂
I was just up in northern Wisconsin last week doing work at our property. Didn't get to play in the woods much, but it felt good to just be there.
I'll have to try the borax treatment on my back yard fence to see how it works with some staining I got on it from the sprinkler that uses well water.
Polish up your nails with a cement mixer and sand. Wow what a clean up job.
When you are done living out there, you could get permits to rent your camp out as a camping area. you just need a outhouse and proper shower area. and a few more tables. Just a thought.
No
Does borax work the same way as Boric Acid Powder? That’s what I use for insects around the house.
He also makes tons of money off of TH-cam, but I think he should because I like his channel
Also if you build a windmill type of generator n mount it to your roof free power lol
Mill up the aspen into 2 inch stock n cedar into beams n build a shelter for you machinery n tools
That’s some beautiful lumber and the tree huggers out there can’t say a work lmao
I think you could have been out shoveling a maze in all that deep snow instead of making a rerun. It was put together good though.
This would be awesome if it was screened in to can eat & Sleep in it through BUG Season...
