[music] It is the shoulder to shoulder. Yeah, it's very painful. Don't do it right. 00:39 Speaker A [music] And solid foundation to build the rest of the joinery in. So the seal is what we call the perimeter underneath the building, basically designed around the length instead of ordering free span joints. But in this case, because it's so 01:31 Speaker A little more than 15 companies to do that, the cheapest is a chisel of about €100. 01:44 Speaker A So pretty nice to use. But this is hand-corporated. Yeah. So, uh, you will see how much different it is. But I will show you that later. 01:57 Speaker A Put backs. So the wooden nails basically in all the joints so you can position yourself. 02:05 Speaker A Uh, it's a bit more practice squaring it up. The tenons and the mortise 12 cm to make it. 02:18 Speaker A This will be a mortise an X so that I know it goes out to see the lines. It's a bit harder. 02:39 Speaker A Square of square. That's your cut. Basically cut these fibers. Also want to clean the line. 03:08 Speaker A And this is Douglas. So it's slightly different shavings like this. But you can also choose to go twice in it. 03:25 Speaker A So that's the fastest way, the long fibers. You can use the port corner to hide it underneath the building. 03:41 Speaker A You can also choose to always we have this tenon left. So yeah, any questions? [laughter] Would be nice. Kind of like artistic, like give it a little bit of a... It's almost a shame to put them on the 04:39 Speaker A outside. Yeah. Come on, I'll come. All right. I'm so scared. Yeah. And then go a but don't do it in dry oak. 07:00 Speaker A Yeah, there's some small partition. I have a little little tear on it. A little tear on. Okay. 08:12 Speaker A Already. Yeah. There we go. They are. Take it all. Nice. Chicken. I cannot go back that the whole post will be a little too square of the shoulder. 11:13 Speaker A It's over. [laughter] Together 6%. [music] Right. [music] Here we are. How [music] wide? Uh, 60 cm. Okay. 12:27 Speaker A Oh. Oh, that's 66. [music] [music] Yeah. Yeah. [music] Yeah, the tent is big enough for a bit. 13:01 Speaker A [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] [music] It's just across the road. 14:26 Speaker A [music] Look at that. Chances are this is not flat. If you look closely, stone, but here it's just a high spot. I probably dropped it. 14:52 Speaker A [snorts] If you feel it's called a burr, we'll see a small line and I want to remove this small and it's but I think it's more a YouTube thing to really focus really on the bevel. Oh, my head for cleaning and sharpening. 15:43 Speaker A If you have a different kind of... I'm not sure if you can do it on this grinder. 15:48 Speaker A Oh, you can do it, do it on the little one. But you can also just go freehanded more here. You because I used it. Mess used it. 16:01 Speaker A So, yeah, I actually opened it with a knife and you check the say yes. [panting] That's quite check a lot of flipping. Down. 16:50 Speaker A I'm going to... You see it can be quite rough. We're going to slowly going to check. 17:00 Speaker A It's quite tight. Make a mark that this I want to flatten out a bit here. 17:21 Speaker A My part again quite tight. Should [crying] have been down here. Six mill. But if you look at the other side, the window for such a long distance. 18:13 Speaker A That's what I'm saying is if it takes too much off, know how to cut. Some are closer to the line. Some have like two or three lines. 18:21 Speaker A So things need to be adjusted. Okay. Been discussing a lot. Uh, no. I think we need... So I will disassemble it one time. Make sure show you [clears throat] with the combination where how. Check the other lines here as well. 19:24 Speaker A A bit line in the middle here. It's a philosophical [laughter] you have to take from the other side. 20:15 Speaker A Hold on. [laughter] I want to take this off. Okay. Hit with a hammer and we cut this fully off. 21:23 Speaker A I don't want... Whatever I say. So I don't accidentally then cut. Okay. Okay. Yeah. 22:57 Speaker A But the shoulder. That's the shoulder. Yeah. I am better than last time. Do you need to take a middle off? 25:33 Speaker A No. No. We'll manage. You'll manage. Okay. Baby, come on. One more. 207 15. Yeah. Okay. Two or seven. 28:21 Speaker A And then we can drop this one back. What do you think? Okay. Now it's okay. 32:14 Speaker A Come here. Go. Some have this one. You may use this one from me from the side to this side. 32:32 Speaker A Maybe with... He's just... He's just jealous that I have. You can put out the middle with the slick. 32:50 Speaker A [whistles] You need a bigger chisel. Yeah, bigger. No, I take this one. Hello. It's on land and it's down by Vio V. 33:54 Speaker A It's okay. It's local and it's organic. I went to darken the... I got those brown. 34:26 Speaker A Let's see. You see here it goes out a bit, you go into for the side wall. 34:54 Speaker A So we want to first prep. This is where you play a fine. Yes. 8 25 wrong. 35:09 Speaker A Someone on these and it's from the outside. Yeah. Chain motor stuff. So it, uh, lose your line. Yeah. If you remove it then you want to see this line. 35:24 Speaker A Yeah. Okay. I don't know what the dimension is. Maybe measure three times then. Okay. 36:10 Speaker A Yeah. Beautiful. Beautiful. Center outside. If we hold it here on 75. Yeah, I have it there. 38:06 Speaker A Take this. So close. We want to pull this way. We don't want to go anywhere there. So we offset it. 38:33 Speaker A Let's say about 5 mil. This can be by eye. Can close. Too close. Sorry. 39:28 Speaker A And it's like I will check east. I think. Nice work. And okay so we cannot go and this is pretty flat. 43:28 Speaker A Yeah. But like you cannot go too long for the mortars. She should get a cold sleep. 43:34 Speaker A But you just won 30, right? 30 from here. I want the post to be straight up and then you shim it shim it in the sides. 44:23 Speaker A Yeah. Just seal it if it like. Yeah. Okay. And now I clamped it on purpose on this side to twist help it. Yeah. And then what I need here is to line this position now. So if I change too 44:49 Speaker A much, it's like it's just a 2 mil difference roughly. So you have a line here. 44:59 Speaker A The top is just more narrow like it's this case we remove [snorts] here. This problem check [snorts] There'll be 15. 46:18 Speaker A So here it's shifting the shifting line in the same place. Will be 40. Ah, so it goes, uh, if you look here. 46:31 Speaker A Okay. Then I will just use this the temples. Renee temple. [laughter] And then we come on. 48:43 Speaker A Belly a bit here. So, we want to clean this a bit more. Okay. Yeah.

Which is often denoted as a V mark to put the marks at the exact same height with a laser or whatever with all buildings. It can be here, can be here, 50:58 Speaker A depending on how the euing went and where they started marking and felling the tree. 51:12 Speaker A Seeing modern people do signs from the border today.

Snap the lines from center and then we make the center lines. Okay, we need to twist it a little. 64:17 Speaker A Assume the level the lines were left. Okay, they're just like release lines. Okay.
