Thanks Cody. Was fun to watch. I completely get using the materials on hand. Not that long ago I made a wooden fore plane that I use quite a bit when I am dimensioning my lumber. If you go online there are numerous posts on what I should and shouldn't use. I settled on oak body and pine knob and handle. That was driven by the fact I had the wood on hand. It works just fine.

When you use the wooden pegs again dip them in melted bees wax first, you don't have to use them straight away, so you can do them a batch at a time, firstly it helps lubricant them going in helping tighten the joints, secondly it helps stop the water seeping into the peg holes rotting the timber joints from the inside out.

Okay, but you could just use the drill to open the holes back up in that case - and how often would you need to dismantle a timber sawhorse? ... I suppose if you were transporting them around on a regular basis, but in that case you'd put less wear on the joints if you just left them assembled and transported them whole.

I agree on the difference in power tools versus the hand tools. As soon as the power tools start screaming my brain just gets on edge. Every sense is muffled or overcome with the smells of mechanical things and the fuels and lubes they need. No more calm, peaceful ; almost meditative work. I have nothing against power tools and the productivity they bring but being able to hear the world and feel the materials is very nice when hand tools can be used. With hand tools I don't need to stop and smell the roses - I can smell them just fine while working and with a bird song and normal conversation tossed in as a bonus.

Took down a Hemlock frame a few years ago. They used Oak pegs and only bored through half the beam and drove the pegs through the other side by shear force.

All the rest of the timbers were hand hewn.

Hi, just an idea if you whan to try traditional pegs from a soft wood area. Traditionally here in Sweden and I guess alot more places to we use spruce branches, thats som of the hardest wood you can find in spruce and pine areas.
@logger1223
7 жыл бұрын
Brian Curwick yes you do, but due to a few different reasons we here in Sweden historically hasn't had much access to hardwood. The two main reasons are 1 it doesn't grow much here. 2 from the 1400's until the mid 1900's all oak growing in Sweden belonged to the crown to supply the navy. So under these circumstances we made due with what we had, and that was spruce and a lot of it. The spruce itself is soft but the knots are really hard and the branches are just as hard as the knots. So if you live in an area where you don't have any hardwood and want to use local product spruce branches make a pretty good substitute for pegs.

Cody, Your probabally aware of this but if you measure the thickness of the wood your drilling with the irwin bits and them make a mark on the bit with some felt pen or magic marker 'Dont know what its called in USA' you have a visual indicator for when the bit is about to come through. Next you make sure that where your hole is going to come through you can feel with your fingers for the screw of the auger as it starts to come through. Stop drilling at this point and remove the auger. Now turn your wood over 180 degrees and you should have a pin prick hole where your auger screw came through. Use it as referance and drill the little remaining wood out from this side. THis way you avoid any tear out and you get a neat hole on both sides ! Its the little things !

When you do draw bore you want to be very careful not to over do the displacement of the holes. A common failure in the old barns I have repaired is to see the piece of wood between the hole in the tennon and the end of the tennon split out allowing the tennon to pull out of the mortice. A century or more of wind forces that can be quite severe and moisture changes in the wood can really "work on it".

Hard question: Were the things Jesus made in woodworking perfect? Or did they have all the little imperfections and character details of hand made stuff? It'd be easy to say yes, EVERYTHING he made was absolutely spotless, but then again, things seem to have a greater appeal and quality when they have those tiny details you don't see in machined laser edged stuff. And more than that, would making a chalice from wood and it being not having a perfectly smooth and 100% perfectly round inside be considered sin? Can't imagine that it would.

Do you have any liveoak growing that far east? Perhaps in creek bottoms. I'd use that for the pegs, it has wood that's more stringy than doug fir. The thing I've found with draw boring, the weaker the wood the farther toward the end of the tenon the hole should be, so you don't have the shoulder of the mortise split out. I don't think I've ever had the tenon give up.

For years, whenever I needed a mallet for driving pegs, I've just made one. Let me see if I can describe it. I made a round handle on a shave horse, a couple of feet long. The handle would be flared on one end, sort of like a pick handle, but round. Next I would bore a hole through a chunk of wood with an auger or bit brace. A piece of a tree limb or two or three pieces of 2 x 4 glued together, either will work. It doesn't matter if it's hard or soft wood either. To assemble, you slide the small end of the handle into the hole and let the wood chunk slide to the other end, and seat it with a downward jerk. Eventually, the chunk will split, at which time you bore a hole in a new chunk and put it on the handle. The thing to remember is to size the handle and wood block to the task at hand and if you will be using one or two hands to wield it. I learned this as a small child in Vermont and first made and used one in Massachusetts. I still use them here in Vermont, and periodically have to make a new one.

I have only been able to find information that says to use hardwood pegs even if you use softwood beams. The softwood pegs apparently shrink a lot more than hardwood and become loose over time and fall out. It also says you should used dried wood pegs in green timber and green wood pegs in dried timbers. I suppose by dried timbers they mean the recycled framing wood. It would take forever to wait for fresh cut timbers to dry. A couple of references did mention dipping the pegs in wax to make them easier to drive in and some manufactures wax theirs.

your pegs wont hold on in long term. i used to work in restoring monumental buildings and the pegs are always tapered but not the way you dit it but more like: smaller than your starting hole going to bigger than your starting hole. example (metric since im from europe but you get the gist) starting hole 20mm small end of the peg 17mm big end of the peg 25mm they did this because the hole can stretch due to years of use and being in the elements, also the fact that wood "works" as in drying out one week and sucking up moisture the next. that way when the hole gets a little bigger you can give it a whack with the hammer and everything is seated again. sorry for the ramble but thought you should know.

Brexit Monger from what i understand in his video he made the pegs the same size as the holes, then found out that because of the offset he needed to taper the start of the peg and did that with his pocket knife. but that still doesnt account for the holes becoming a bit loose due to wear and influence of the elements and use over time. as for beeswax, i dont have any expierence with beeswax but linseed-oil would do the trick to help conserve the pegs

Two or three quick things to consider when it comes to drawboring: mushrooming is actually beneficial for the strength of the joint. Reason is that this way the hole get's kinda “over-stuffed“ with the peg, which leads to a tighter fit. For the same reason, the pegs should start with a smaller diameter than the hole and taper so that the last third of it is actually bigger in diameter than the hole. And if you want to make extra-sure that the peg doesn't come loose, you can wedge the smaller end as soon as the peg is seated in its' final position. One warning regarding the pegs: if the grain of the peg and the wood you put it in are oriented the same way, you might have the peg splitting the joint due to swelling when it gets wet. Easy to avoid though, just take care that the grain is oriented on more or less a right angle to each other. All that aside, I really love watching your videos!

I will have too agree with Cody on his last comment, Jesus was a carpenter for a reason. I am no carpenter but I did make my kids a bunk bed. For me it was a calming experience and it felt like it was something i was supposed to be doing.

Thanks for the vid. I do agree that God has given us a wonderful amount of products to improve our life. Our responsibility is to manage and use it wisely. Treating it as the Blessing that it is with respect. But, not being afraid to use it at all.

You can use draw boring with a tapered pen. Use dry pens and the other should be slightly green. That way when the green wood dries it will shrink around the pen and hold it there until the cows come home. I have been traditional woodworking most of my life and I love it also.

I think the bushcraft folk call it 'feathering' when they create those little offshoots with a knife? It is wonderful to see such traditional methods in use - so many centuries that people have built structures and ships and so on in such a way. Lovely stuff!

I use all hand tools in my woodworking and I completely understand what you mean. The satisfaction you get from turning trees or fire wood into something beautiful or useful is beyond description.

In the roofing trade those side cuts you made have the same reasoning as ring shank nails. Pretty interesting that the ring shank nail is considered a modern improvement... the nails don't back out as easily therefore the wood boards for decking don't back out over time. Thank you for the info and tips!
