🔴 Trestle Timber Framing - Grindbygg Part 10/30 a slow videolog about log building

The Tenth instalment of a "slow tv" style film about attempting to build a traditional frame building known in Norway as a "Grindbygg". While the quarantine continues I will be designing and building, using some stock materials and some harvested materials. A fast pace high-lights film will come after this video-log series is complete however long that takes.

Totally fascinated by your channel for quite some time now. Your methods and designs are new to me and most Americans I presume. Please continue making releases of your work.

Great video. Thank you for making them.

This is very inspiring. Makes me want to sharpen my chisels and get to work on a few projects in my head.

Howdy good sir- another great video. Have been so busy lately I haven’t had a chance for watching many videos. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. God bless you

Slow tv? Yes very slow but so interesting! I love to see your craftsmanship. Not only in this video but also in previous other videos. We live in the Netherlands in a from Finland imported loghouse we build 33 years ago. Still every day enjoying the atmosphere. We were in Denmark, Sweden en Norway several times and enjoyed the surroundings and especially the wooden houses old and new. We planned a trip this year in june and july. Covid 19 makes it impossible I'am afraid, a pity but a luxury problem I We will continue to enjoy your videos!!

It's always interesting to see the talents of those who "figure it out" as they go...Combining what seems (?) like several layout modalities to get the job done...You are correct about the template in some regards except traditionally this would have all been story pole, divider work, and templates in the Norwegian since..." Line Rule" was part of some traditions too though but the details lost to time in most (not all) Western European traditions of the Timberwright...A student sent this link to me today, and I will enjoy watching more of your work...

Looking good. I was a bit nervous when you stood it up, that it would tip and fall on your car!

[timberdoodles]

The accuracy part is spot on, be accurate when its totally necessary. Paint scraper doubles as a hammer, a tool is only what the wielder make of it, same for the chain saw. Loved the tool box break down, I run a similar box, and know the fear of cutting myself by digging in the box for something, good to dump it out from time to time. Some day I will try a full length post where the root is the brace, half the mortice work!

I didn't realize till now that Stihl manufactured a surgical instrument

[skitzochik]

I absolutely love watching you work with that axe of yours, I literally watch almost every video twice when you're using it...oh and Bless You (for the sneeze)

[russellcrowder]

coming wright along. thanks telling about the word nail in Norwegian. now i have something to talk about at work. your wright it take time to learn to use a chainsaw. they are an amazing tool when used wright.

[thebrokenbone]

your toolbox (more metal and wood than plastic) looks like the one my grandfather left. full of well used tools i often use and care but a small washita stone that i don't use anymore bc i have a stupid diamond :(. thank you for sharing your work. oh music is great too.

Nice work Lucas! Me and a friend are planning a 5m x 5m grindbygg in the Trondheim area this summer. It is nice to see your method.

[fred-san]

Cool.
You know nick rijavec ?
if not must see, huge logs cabin nearly alone.

[liveoak]

Nice work, always impressed with your precise chainsaw work, pup not withstanding! I’ve seen mortised knee braces like yours in other timber frame structures, but not in grindbygg before. Till now only lap jointed diagonal braces in grindbygg. Are the root knees traditional as well or your adaptation. Either way very structurally sound.
