Hey those look great! I love cedar siding! My dad makes hand split cedar shakes and shingles salvage logging in b.c. canada. He's been doing that almost 40 years already and is one of the only guys left in the bush doing it these days. (at age 71) Handmade is a dying trade.
Now they make them all from machine splits. He also had a knife and would score them and then snap instead of sawing (like the other guy i just read in comments dad did as well) Dad says I might be in only a handful of ladies on earth who knows how to handsplit cedar shakes lol

Can’t wait for you to finish your shop. You were the very first woodworker video I’ve ever watched and you are the reason I fell in love with woodworking. Thank you so much. You saved my life. Literally. A story for another time. ❤️

When I 1st saw we're doing side wall (that's what you're doing - did) I thought, DAMN! I wish i would have seen this while he was doing it! I spent my career roofing & framing. I'm 11 mins. into this and I said to myself, this young man did his homework! The mesh material is new to me, we used 1x4 for the air gap (on customs) and just laid them up on tracts. Anyone else watching this should pay attention to your words here. I couldn't have taught anyone better! Really I'm really enjoying watching you work! :) Carry on young stud!

Talk about hard work paying off, the results speak for themselves. Beautiful job! I'm looking forward to the rest of the transformation.

For once YouTube suggestions helped me find a great channel. You do a great job explaining things without making videos too long. True “infotainment”.

I love these kinds of shingles a lot. I am currently an architecture student and one of my current designs feature them mixed with metal paneling looks really good in the renderings. Can't wait to see your project completed man.

What a great idea to install a cedar shake siding! Very useful video. Thank you

[codydonovan]

That's some beautiful cedar shingles!! Can't wait to see this place finished!

[Dinie]

That does look great, I know many people live the grey, but cedar is such a beautiful natural color

Looks great, super jealous. An old Yankee trick I've seen is to take the story pole and mark it with your largest reveal, so in this case 6 1/4. You can then figure out where your transition points are and line up your story pole on an angle with each transition point and that will give you the precise location of each coarse. No math needed.

You are a very good teacher. Love watching you work. Great job

[pedrolozano]

Really digging this look. The Metal on Wood contrast is a game changer

[richardlaymance]

Very nicely done. Planning is definitely the key to making it look that good.

Great to have you back brother. Best of luck for the next few months with all the construction!

[kenkramer]

Great video. Covered all the details and tips in plain language. Planning to add cedar shingles to three gables on my home. Haven't installed these before, but I have descent skills and combined with this video I'm confident of a great result. Thanks.

[gordoeinstein]

Very good tutorial. It’s been a long time since I’ve worked with cedar shingles or shakes; this brought everything back to memory.

[dacek]

It sure is nice to have you back on the web. I'm really looking forward to the development of your 'estate'...

Chris, its good to see you posting video's again. I really loved how the cedar shingles turned out. Can't wait to see the house go up. Keep posting good content, we missed you.

[nakamakai]

Chris, another excellent video tutorial, and it's so exciting to see your dream building coming along so quickly. You have such a natural teaching style, it's a pleasure to watch. Best wishes from Lansing

That looks great. And a beautiful property.
