Arie Benschop It’s construction for himself though , I think Kris has proven his buildings are safe , he has built a house , toilet , solar shower/toilet and a shed and all of them are solid structures and he’s never been hurt by the actual buildings .... it’s not like it’s a public place where people will be milling about, he only has to worry about his own safety and his girlfriends and after two years living in a house built by his own hands id say they are pretty safe....
Physics classes should be mandatory for everyone; it's actually depressing to see that such a video is needed to explain how mass distribution works. Hope you'll recover soon; you're doing a great job showing us how you conduct your projects and inspiring others to chase their building dreams
Loved hearing your explanation of the engineering and physics of a reciprocating roof. Your level of knowledge is what makes your videos so nice to watch. You’re building an amazing place there and your abilities are impressive. Love your work ethic and use of nature to get the job done.
Deryk Robosson: Some may say that science is a gift from God. I do not know, I am just saying, I have no 'dog in this hunt.' What I do know is, at times, people feel the need to respond because they have a opus primum tell every one else how to think. We shall see if the last sentence is correct.
Heal fast fella, loved your explanation of weight loading/distribution and the model. A lot of people can't get their head around point loading, load distribution or stress loading. I made a helical staircase for a famous restaurant only to be asked afterwards to explain to their structural engineer how it would be self supporting! Think he was in the wrong job.
Wow Kris. I'm so sorry you injured yourself. I'm sending green healing energy to you. Absorb the green light and focus it on your ankle. It really does help.
I didn’t even read the comments I think the whole building and especially the roof is bloody AWESOME!! Well done mate it’s looking properly epic! Don’t worry about the ankle you said you needed a few days off in the previous video😉 😀 well done mate 👍🏻
The model and scale was a terrific idea. Are you an engineer? Tell us a bit about your education and work. For a layman you understand an amazing amount of structural engineering, civil engineering, etc.
He is an engineer, but not with a degree or whatever. He's learned it all through jobs, practice and being basically pretty obsessive about learning and reading about his passions :)
Unless they are engineers I wouldn't worry too much what they think. I've seen you explain this a couple times now on this build. Also seen you explain it when doing the model and when you built your little house. They need to get it or go back and pay attention. They can also look up reciprocal roofs and learn all they want before digging into you. I know I don't know a lot about them. I am not an engineer or builder so I figure you know way more than me about what you are doing. Keep it up. Going to be fantastic when you are done.
Kris has spent years with this, you can't really expect a browser to understand completely without questioning. It's an entirely human reaction methinks.
@@stevenholton438 I don't see why all these people are so defensive and challenged by people not understanding something rather clever and not obvious? Instead of saying 'Well this is such a cool thing and it works like this' they get all defensive and become kind of dick heads? I guess it's just pack mentality, I don't know, maybe someone said something offensive to start the war? I understand the difficulty being a YT creator can experience, feeling like they are being observed all the time and whenever you do something you're trying to justify all the expected negative comments which can over time drive you into such a defensive attitude and then all the supporters pick up on that and before too long you have a mob... But they sound like the church telling Capernicus, 'Ofcourse the sun revolves round the earth, you heathen!' :)
brother for all the work you have done between the cord wood house , shed and work shop u did really well on avoid injuries . hope in a very fast recovery . cheers.
And also the roof on the round house same exact roof, it's been up for what 4-5 years now. I would absolutely trust my life and my family's underneath these roofs. Kris love the videos brother keep up the hard work.
I really appreciate the time you take to explain concepts like this. It is somewhat counter intuitive for people who have no engineering or building experience, which is probably where those comments came from.
Hey Kris! Sorry to hear about the ankle. I did exactly the same to myself under different circumstances. The pain would make you pass out. In my case, I got back on the foot after two weeks, and, the ankle being still weak, I did it a second time. Couldn't walk for two months. My ankle is still weak forty years later. Which is why I now favour walking/work shoes with ankle support (I still hill walk). As for the roof, I think engineering principles mightn't be everyone's strength...
It's really a setback when injuries or illnesses happen. And, yup there's always a critic out there who knows more than everyone else. Wishing you a quick recovery as I enjoy your enthusiasm and hard work.
Swift recovery to you. I was perfectly happy with that roof even before the beam which you sacrificed several weeks of healthy legs to install. Each beam supports a bit less than the beam previous. Thought it was brilliantly balanced and was admiring the genius of the original designer and the intelligence of its present engineer.
pressure on timber? just look at Keel blocks in ship yards, they rest aircraft carriers on them. And when launched re-use them on ocean going liners and they are roughly four foot by one and a half foot....and they make good seats come dinner time. So me thinks the roof is just fine, strong and quite expensive too.
Yeah some of us asking questions aren't trolls. I'm putting up a structure in August so I'm very seriously interested in how this works. I might try this kind of roof
I am kind of happy that there were 'trolls' so we could get a explanation and a diagram. Feel bad that Kris was so upset about it but the explanation was cool
I am relieveđ that you got medical attention! Please take it easy and let it heal, with patience and humilty. There is much to learn during healing time. Best wishes.
after the designs of your building and the fact that they are still standing and look great i dont understand how people can doubt your design on this building you can see that it is not thrown together without careful planning keep it going and tidy your workplace up it slows progress hope your up and building again soon
sorry for your misshap kris sore dose and if your like me the fact that you have to take it easy for few weeks is worse,,,, and look you work your own way dont mind what others say as long as your confident in your abilisty to build your own way go for it well done ,
I tore my ligaments in my knee when i was 18 years old. I'm in my 50's now and it still puts me in pain now. You'd be better off breaking a bone rather than damage ligaments as a break heals stronger. Good luck with recovery. 👍
Keyboard engineers are everywhere. "The crazy framer" build a house with a similar single beam supporting three storeys and people were going mental about it. The house standing is proof enough for me
So sorry to hear about your ankle Kris. Get well soon. Speaking of wellness, how’s that elbow doing? You were having quite a bit of soreness a while back. I enjoyed your roof structure demonstration although I had no doubts about its soundness. Your abilities and attention to detail in all your projects is proof positive!
After all the hard work you have put in over the last few weeks it is time for you to put up your feet and rest. I would like to thank you for all the great video's you have put out about your workshop. please look after yourself and get well soon. 👍
Hello, I was one of the commentators who was worried about the weight distribution on the first log (not on oak tree which is massive). Thank you for addressing that quick our comments. I like your explanation. I wish you to recover fast. Take care
Don’t worry about the negative people. Or the negative comments. You have plenty of followers that are supportive to what your doing. Your doing fantastic! Keep up the great work buddy. Keep doing what you do best! And keep the videos coming.
Sorry to hear about the ankle. Hope to see you on your feet soon enough. Also thanks for the breakdown about the roof design. I have been wondering a lot about the specifics about the way a reciprocal roof works. I live in an earthquake zone & since the technique I'm told came from Japanese carpentry I really wanted to know more about how the roof can handle a quake. If you have any info to share as far as any research on this please do. Take care bro.
Sorry about your ankle Kris.. On the bright side of things, the weather will be better when you are able to get back to the build. Thanks for the uploads, really enjoy what you do.
Doesn't need 3 points of contact, just gotta watch your landing, and since he was busy, mistakes happen, oh well, live an learn they say! Also, I like how your building is coming along, lots of progress in a short time it seems. Also, the people that have been saying stuff about your roof load, which looking at the dislikes is 4 people only, don't matter. You have built tons of stuff that prove your way works, that is all.
The whole premise here is that the 'ring' at the top is in tension with the net effect that the rafters do not push outward, so the weight at the walls is downward. This is similar to the crossbeam in a simple "A" truss: it does not bear load, it prevents "spreading" (with tension) and thereby weight is directed downward at the wall - not outward.
Done my ankle (both of them) just like you have 5 times in my 50 years of life, it never fully recovers, both my ankles click when I walk, get ready for the black and blue sock of bruising that's to come. On the bright side the roof is looking amazing and I don't think it will be long before your able to start work again.
Got an old oak out front that's survived 70+ mph gusts. Its a gigantic, incredibly heavy sail with no aerodynamics and the thing barely notices it. A bit bigger than the size you have there, but still, a few videos back I thought "oh he's gonna do something artsy with those three branches, that's way too big" Trees are strong. That's why we build homes out of wood.
Kris, I enjoy your videos very much and am amazed how talented you are. I don't know anyone with so much talent. I am surprised you didn't get hurt sooner with all the scrap wood and stones in your walking area. Stop paying attention to all those folks who keep criticizing you. I did wonder why there is a larger gap between the two last roof timbers. By the way, I'm in no position to criticize what you are doing because I can't build anything. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
Sorry about your ankle. Hope it heals fast. And thanx for explaining about the reciprocal roof, people will get it or not. Not ours to worry about and definitely not yours to worry about.
OH..sweetie I did the same riding my road bike..ouch very painful..it took me months to get to normal..but I'm 59 yrs old ..you'll be back before you know it..your a champion..🤗🇦🇺
Rolled my ankle jogging on grass and weeds, didn't see the hole, and the exact same thing happened. Tore ligaments, but no broken bones. I have broken a couple bones as well, but the ligaments take so much longer to heal due to the limited blood supply. Keep active when you're ready, but don't overdo it. Get's stiff when you don't move it. Moving also increases the blood supply.
Sorry about your ankle. Hope you heal up well. Do all that the Docs and therapists tell you to do. And be thankful it wasn't worse. I fell off a short step ladder (only 2 steps up) last June hanging some visqueen in my workshop/ garage, and broke both leg bones and my ankle on one leg. Ended up eventually having fusion surgery. Wasn't able to put any weight on it until the end of November. I'm doing much better now, but that sucked. Last week I finally got around to finishing stapling up and taping the sheet of plastic I started on last June. When I got some more time, I'll keep going with insulating and hanging plastic in the rest of the building. It's all about getting back at it.
Sorry about your injury man. Keep that guy elevated it really helps reduce swelling Housekeeping is a basic tent of a jobsite. I ruined my knee because the brickies were leaving their off cuts all over the place and then it snowed. My knee hasn't been right since.
Thank you for explaining that, it really made me understand this construction better. I agree with many other comments that you did not have to do that, it’s your project you do what you want but I am happy that you did explain it. Like I mentioned in my comment in your last video, I completely trust your decisions for many reasons, like you are the one who is going to be under it and that you obviously have planned this, why would you not make sure it’s strong enough. This kind of structure is not common to most people so many don’t understand (me too) how the physics work with it, it just looks kinda unsafe, I guess that’s why many people are worried, I think that concern is just healthy. I only wish you success in your lifestyle and projects and I am happy that you want to share your builds.
physics by Kris :) I had a good laugh when you mentioned this comment stuff in the previous video, and still you got to explain.. Hope you reached out to at least a few people here.. Round wood is stronger than cut ones, and they will bow down a lot before crit breaking point, as to where you will want to support, mainly due to the apperance I guess :) Keep up the good work!
I had that exact same injury 3 years ago that happened while hiking. It is extremely painful! Speedy recovery, man. That boot will be your best friend for a few weeks, for sure.
Kris, dude, reciprocal roofs are time proven so don't sweat the neigh sayers, let them do some research. But c'mon.... not clearing your work area and wrecking your ankle? that was a bit of a noob thing to do, it's a bad thing that it happened but be glad it was you and not one of your helpers, lesson learnt yeh.
But c'mon is right! You'd think he's been doing this long enough that he shouldn't be ignoring such important, basic safety measures as keeping the floor clear of ankle breakers. But it took me dislocating a finger with a 4 lb hammer to get the message so . . . hopefully, the lesson is learned and recovery quick and complete : )
To me it’s not even a safety thing. It’s just annoying to be walking over all this crap. I want a clear area to work in and I hate feeling things under foot when I’m working g.
Well I broke my ankle by slipping on mud and grass after a storm in my garden... so it is not a matter of cleaning the space, but bad luck... make sure you rest your ankle as much as possible so that it heals properly and you do not suffer afterwards... in other words, be sensible about it
melendu29 - What are you talking about? Accidents happen so don’t bother cleaning up where you’re working? No one said you won’t still get hurt even if you clean up, but you’re only minimising the risk of something happening if you clean up after yourself.
The roof is a proven structure on thousands of buildings. It bothers people for being unconventional. But that is why I subscribes and watch. Sorry your out of the build for a while. Take care my friend.
Glad you're okay. I recently broke my ankle, didn't realize it, and walked around on it for a bit. The damage caused me to have to have surgery. They rebroke the ankle, inserted a 4" screw, and had to cut one tendon and graft it into the other one. 8 weeks in cast, and about a year in therapy. Take care of yourself, and love the videos.
Broken bones heal more quickly than torn ligaments. Took me about three months to get off crutches. You'll be alright, just slowed down. Your hands will start to hurt from the crutches after a week or so. Glad to hear you are still in good spirits. That will be tested. No need to build models to educate the masses.
If any of these trolls have followed your channel they would know that you research your projects thoroughly and know what you're doing. Personally I have full confidence in your designs because I know you've thought them out and tested them. You're doing amazing things on your property, continue the great work you're doing without being upset about the trolls. So sorry about the injury, rest and take care of yourself so we can get back to work
I know this was an answer to the armchair experts, but for someone like me, who don't know this stuff and just loves to learn, this video was really informative! Thank you :^)
Sorry to learn about the injury to leg; I hope your recovery is a speedy one. Great progress on the building recently with lots of how-to tips and tricks. Best wishes and good luck.
I did that a couple years ago off a ladder. Sprained, tore, or strained all the ligament and tendons in my ankle. Doc told me I should have just broke it. 3 years later and nearly back to normal!
your only problem is completing the ring, i would get the whole ring of reciprocating logs completed. You are correct (18 eco-builds and 1/2 a doz yurts). My advice limp away party " as u can" ;0) come back complete the reciprocation of the roof then all loads are distributed equally, nice job! ;0)
Don't worry Bro, you're doing everything correctly. I suspect you already know that though. I've been following you for quite some time. It's amazing what you have accomplished. Often the masses are collectively ignorant beyond belief. Stay safe my friend, you will have every thing you want. Great job.
Oh no!!! And here I was worried about you, the chainsaw and no glasses. I’ve rolled my ankles over the years a few times, and they hurt just as bad as breaks. Hope you have a quick recovery. Don’t do anything silly before you’re ready. Accept help as it’s offered until you’re up for it.
Really sorry to hear you have injured your ankle and I wish you a speedy recovery. If you buy a bottle of witch hazel and regularly apply this to the injured areas you should recover faster than expected. Tried and tested with great results when my son had a similar construction site injury. All the best!
Sorry to hear about the injury, about 6 months ago I tore the ACL in my knee. I work outdoors for a living so I had a good week off before I could walk on it again, took it slow and had loads of paracetamol and a brace on my knee to help it heal. For the last 3 months it's been fine, got full movement. I'm sure that as you are young and fairly active you will not be hampered by it for very long! Ditch the crutches as soon as you can though, I got awful backache from compensating.

You worry too much about what these genius's think. In the long run, it's what you think that matters.
That's what anti vaxers and flat earthers say, I hear.
Of course this is bullshit, when it comes to construction and safety. But I agree you can get a long way with just common sense

It’s construction for himself though , I think Kris has proven his buildings are safe , he has built a house , toilet , solar shower/toilet and a shed and all of them are solid structures and he’s never been hurt by the actual buildings .... it’s not like it’s a public place where people will be milling about, he only has to worry about his own safety and his girlfriends and after two years living in a house built by his own hands id say they are pretty safe....

Good luck with the recovery mate
Lol.. love that people think you’re just cobbling this stuff together without any research 😆
So sorry about the ankle Kris, thank God for cell phones & that you were able to get help eventually!
Ken Stickles it's like a spider web. strong and beautiful. people are crazy this is a wonderful strong roof. well done Chris
God didn't provide cellular phones, science did.
Deryk Robosson a metaphor or figure of speech taken literally... who’s the dumb one? 🤔☝️

Thanks for explaining that it was really interesting, I for one had no idea how it worked.
That was a really good explanation. Very few people understand the physics of reciprocal roofs - they just *look* as though they won't work!

Wow Kris. I'm so sorry you injured yourself. I'm sending green healing energy to you. Absorb the green light and focus it on your ankle. It really does help.

brother for all the work you have done between the cord wood house , shed and work shop u did really well on avoid injuries . hope in a very fast recovery . cheers.
Very proficiently demonstrated video concerning roof loading 👍

OH..sweetie I did the same riding my road bike..ouch very painful..it took me months to get to normal..but I'm 59 yrs old ..you'll be back before you know it..your a champion..🤗🇦🇺
Best wishes for a speedy recovery Kris! According to code you should have four feet instead of two to safely distribute the load of your body lol
Hi Kris, sorry to see you hurt your ankle, hope you're on the mend , take care and we'll see you soon
Rolled my ankle jogging on grass and weeds, didn't see the hole, and the exact same thing happened. Tore ligaments, but no broken bones.
I have broken a couple bones as well, but the ligaments take so much longer to heal due to the limited blood supply.
Keep active when you're ready, but don't overdo it. Get's stiff when you don't move it. Moving also increases the blood supply.
Sorry about you injury. Your structures are strong, overbuilt is why I follow you. Wish I could help.
Sorry about your ankle. Hope you heal up well. Do all that the Docs and therapists tell you to do. And be thankful it wasn't worse.
I fell off a short step ladder (only 2 steps up) last June hanging some visqueen in my workshop/ garage, and broke both leg bones and my ankle on one leg. Ended up eventually having fusion surgery. Wasn't able to put any weight on it until the end of November. I'm doing much better now, but that sucked. Last week I finally got around to finishing stapling up and taping the sheet of plastic I started on last June. When I got some more time, I'll keep going with insulating and hanging plastic in the rest of the building. It's all about getting back at it.
Sorry about your injury man. Keep that guy elevated it really helps reduce swelling
Housekeeping is a basic tent of a jobsite. I ruined my knee because the brickies were leaving their off cuts all over the place and then it snowed. My knee hasn't been right since.
Wish you a fast recovery mate! I love your videos!
Thank you for explaining that, it really made me understand this construction better. I agree with many other comments that you did not have to do that, it’s your project you do what you want but I am happy that you did explain it. Like I mentioned in my comment in your last video, I completely trust your decisions for many reasons, like you are the one who is going to be under it and that you obviously have planned this, why would you not make sure it’s strong enough. This kind of structure is not common to most people so many don’t understand (me too) how the physics work with it, it just looks kinda unsafe, I guess that’s why many people are worried, I think that concern is just healthy. I only wish you success in your lifestyle and projects and I am happy that you want to share your builds.
Sorry Kris you get better and continue the good work!!!
So sorry to hear this take care and get well take ur time,,,😊
Oh no! Sorry about your ankle! Heal quickly!
Hope you heal quickly Kris!
physics by Kris :) I had a good laugh when you mentioned this comment stuff in the previous video, and still you got to explain.. Hope you reached out to at least a few people here..
Round wood is stronger than cut ones, and they will bow down a lot before crit breaking point, as to where you will want to support, mainly due to the apperance I guess :) Keep up the good work!
I had that exact same injury 3 years ago that happened while hiking. It is extremely painful! Speedy recovery, man. That boot will be your best friend for a few weeks, for sure.
Sorry to hear this. Glad it’s not worse. Take a break Sir.
Oh dear. Please take it easy. It'll get done in time ☺
you explained the weight distribution very well
Kris, dude, reciprocal roofs are time proven so don't sweat the neigh sayers, let them do some research. But c'mon.... not clearing your work area and wrecking your ankle? that was a bit of a noob thing to do, it's a bad thing that it happened but be glad it was you and not one of your helpers, lesson learnt yeh.
But c'mon is right! You'd think he's been doing this long enough that he shouldn't be ignoring such important, basic safety measures as keeping the floor clear of ankle breakers. But it took me dislocating a finger with a 4 lb hammer to get the message so . . . hopefully, the lesson is learned and recovery quick and complete : )
To me it’s not even a safety thing. It’s just annoying to be walking over all this crap. I want a clear area to work in and I hate feeling things under foot when I’m working g.
Well I broke my ankle by slipping on mud and grass after a storm in my garden... so it is not a matter of cleaning the space, but bad luck... make sure you rest your ankle as much as possible so that it heals properly and you do not suffer afterwards... in other words, be sensible about it
melendu29 - What are you talking about? Accidents happen so don’t bother cleaning up where you’re working? No one said you won’t still get hurt even if you clean up, but you’re only minimising the risk of something happening if you clean up after yourself.
The roof is a proven structure on thousands of buildings. It bothers people for being unconventional. But that is why I subscribes and watch. Sorry your out of the build for a while. Take care my friend.
Can't wait to see how this all turns out! Have so enjoyed all your vids-- which are both entertaining and educational! Thanks for that!
Glad you're okay. I recently broke my ankle, didn't realize it, and walked around on it for a bit. The damage caused me to have to have surgery. They rebroke the ankle, inserted a 4" screw, and had to cut one tendon and graft it into the other one. 8 weeks in cast, and about a year in therapy. Take care of yourself, and love the videos.
Broken bones heal more quickly than torn ligaments. Took me about three months to get off crutches. You'll be alright, just slowed down. Your hands will start to hurt from the crutches after a week or so. Glad to hear you are still in good spirits. That will be tested. No need to build models to educate the masses.
If any of these trolls have followed your channel they would know that you research your projects thoroughly and know what you're doing. Personally I have full confidence in your designs because I know you've thought them out and tested them. You're doing amazing things on your property, continue the great work you're doing without being upset about the trolls. So sorry about the injury, rest and take care of yourself so we can get back to work
Get well soon Kris , can't wait for the workshop to finish. Great work 👍
Thanks for the explanation and demonstration, I learned something :) Hope you recover soon, best wishes.
The demonstration with the model is a perfect explanation. Shame about the ankle. It hurts, I know, but you'll soon be up again. 😀
I know this was an answer to the armchair experts, but for someone like me, who don't know this stuff and just loves to learn, this video was really informative! Thank you :^)
Sorry to learn about the injury to leg; I hope your recovery is a speedy one. Great progress on the building recently with lots of how-to tips and tricks. Best wishes and good luck.
I did that a couple years ago off a ladder. Sprained, tore, or strained all the ligament and tendons in my ankle. Doc told me I should have just broke it. 3 years later and nearly back to normal!
your only problem is completing the ring, i would get the whole ring of reciprocating logs completed. You are correct (18 eco-builds and 1/2 a doz yurts). My advice limp away party " as u can" ;0) come back complete the reciprocation of the roof then all loads are distributed equally, nice job! ;0)
Don't worry Bro, you're doing everything correctly. I suspect you already know that though. I've been following you for quite some time. It's amazing what you have accomplished. Often the masses are collectively ignorant beyond belief. Stay safe my friend, you will have every thing you want. Great job.
Ouch!!! Sorry about the injury my friend. Hope you heal quickly and mend with no complications.
Oh no!!! And here I was worried about you, the chainsaw and no glasses. I’ve rolled my ankles over the years a few times, and they hurt just as bad as breaks. Hope you have a quick recovery. Don’t do anything silly before you’re ready. Accept help as it’s offered until you’re up for it.
Really sorry to hear you have injured your ankle and I wish you a speedy recovery. If you buy a bottle of witch hazel and regularly apply this to the injured areas you should recover faster than expected. Tried and tested with great results when my son had a similar construction site injury. All the best!
Sorry to hear about the injury, about 6 months ago I tore the ACL in my knee. I work outdoors for a living so I had a good week off before I could walk on it again, took it slow and had loads of paracetamol and a brace on my knee to help it heal. For the last 3 months it's been fine, got full movement. I'm sure that as you are young and fairly active you will not be hampered by it for very long! Ditch the crutches as soon as you can though, I got awful backache from compensating.
oh crap dude D: hope u recover soon! best wishes from italy!
