Making Old-fashioned Wood Shingles (or Shakes) - The FHC Show, ep 19

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Pa Mac demonstrates how to make wood shingles (otherwise known as wood shakes) for roofing material to go on his new log chicken house. Using old-fashioned tools and simple raw materials, this old time, self-sufficient, and sustainable skill can be practiced by young and old alike on the small farm. This is episode #19 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show. (A later episode will cover installation methods for wood shakes/shingles.)
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead. (And be sure to check out the General Store for books or DVD's by Pa Mac at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)

    I did this with my Dad when I was a teenager. We had a friend of my Dad's who wanted wood shingles on his barn roof and he owned several hundred acres of a creek bottom loaded with nice White Oak trees. My Dad showed me how to pick out only the best straight grained White Oaks for this job. We cut all the trees into bolts and stacked them until they were nice and dry. That fall we rived the shingles out of those nicely dried bolts. It was quite the project and learning experience. The rancher was happy and he paid us well.

    Awesome video series on building you log chicken house with shakes roof! Can't wait to see her finished. Thanks for the videos! My beautiful wife and I just moved to a 100 acre wooded farm in Western Kentucky very close to where I was born and raised. We're loving here on our farm. We got 12 chickens and enjoying getting ready to plant our garden. We also have beehives and looking to increase our hives this year. Your channel sends me back to me childhood where both my parents and grandparents came from the hills of Kentucky and Tennessee. I'm enjoying learning from you! Thank you again for your channel and videos

I like your work area, with the Y tree and the 3 stumps under it. Thanks for sharing. I'm an expert now. Or at least have enough courage to try. Thanks for the amazing video nicely done.

    Yay! I can't wait to see the shingles go up! I made a second chicken run for a second flock of laying hens. It took me a while to do, the fencing and all. I also renovated a little coop my son and I made together. In the future, I can also use the newer coop/run to raise meat birds. Now all I need is a Pa Mac video on how to butcher a chicken. I'd also love to see you fashion a right nifty chicken plucker!
