Wow, the skill, but also, wow, the time. That’s called persistence.

its done the old way, even with power tools it takes a good bit of skill and time. The way things are made today they are engineered to be simple and easy to assemble. This is some old school craftsmanship

I like all the joinery and the time spent with a chisel. I'm not really a fan of the copper bits but to each their own. The real impressive part is those straight cuts with a chainsaw.

Thought the same thing, I would have made something closer to a propeller if I tried that

How many years was that log dried?

Not enough.

How many years was that log dried?

That was my thought too.

I typically like to start with 8/4 lumber when I make furniture. After the initial ripping and splitting, I usually have to let the wood sit a few days to a week before I start planing and jointing.

I'm wondering with the way everything is locked together if it will help any warping from happening as the wood continues to dry.

I only ask because there's no dialog.... I'm sure he knows what he's doing but not dried after chainsaw chunking that stuff would warp cup twist IMHO. After a month only 3 legs would touch if i tried something like that.

That was really cool to watch. Thanks for posting. I spend a lot of time with a chainsaw and have been looking at Alaskan mills for a while.
That freehand cutting even with the laser was crazy good.

I was thinking the same thing about moisture with a log that thick. There was no splitting or checking at the ends like you typically see. I can't imagine investing that amount of effort w/o that. My WAGuess is that it was kiln dried and then cut down on the ends for the video...?

General rule of thumb for air drying is 1 year per INCH of thickness; wondering if there's a LOT more "lapse" in that time lapse video... Steve
