I done a handful of shingle jobs when I was first starting out. That’s all it took for me to realize how bad they suck lol. After that I just started bidding them astronomically high when it was a shingled roof…especially if it was a tear off too. It was rare that they’d accept the bid, but if they did then I made enough money to keep my mind off of how much I despised doing it!😂 Hats off to the ones that do it on the daily without complaining one single time though!

Excellent detail and showing the Tools and Workmanship. I worked helping guys make cedar shakes in Northern Maine repairing and replacing roofs on old log cabins in the forest back in the mid to late 1970's. The cedar is far softer and shaves into thin slabs unlike the hardwood you are using. That's probably why the went to the flat belt driven horizontal shingle saws in the Appalachian territory. There were buildings that had shakes on them for 90-120 yrs and they still were in near perfect form.

Here in the US we like to use cedar for our shakes because it’s less likely to rot. In most areas of the US. You must use Open deck (the way you have) due to fire hazard. In our colder climate we can use 3/4 ply with a 30 pound felt and 10’ lace making those roofs last for 25-30 years with the integrity to hold hundreds of pounds of snow. I am a spoiled tradesmen that has had the luxury of going to lumber supply stores; so watching you guys make your own materials is fascinating to me.

@victoriakelley3685

Жыл бұрын

I think folks tend to assume that cedar (usually western for shingles) is the winner in rot resistance but that's not the case. A hardwood like a chestnut or white oak is superior in overall durability outdoors. "Cedar" is lighter, more easily machined and most importantly, grows faster. Also, folks around where I am think all eastern red cedar is "rot resistant" and stick posts in the ground surprised to find them rotted a few years later. The white sapwood is no better than balsa in terms of rot resistance and most posts and boards now that the old growth has been slashed and burned are a half and half mixture of the sapwood and red heartwood.

John is fascinating to watch and listen to his expertise in explaining the process.

There are a few houses around here (Fremantle, Western Australia) still with handmade shingle roofs. The shingles must be at least 100 years old. The shingles are made from a local tree called 'she oak' an extremely hard and heavy conifer. I just put a piece of she oak through an electric thicknesser, the machine groaned under the effort. Goes to show how damned hard people used to work, and how their skill and tools must have been honed to a fine edge. There is simply no way those local roofs are ever going to be repaired with froe split she oak shingles. It would be cheaper to build an entire house!

Amazing, skills like this should be recorded and shared. If our machines ever fail us we will rely on skills like this.

the reason for the 18" length was probable due to the quality and size of the wood they were using. Old growth would be denser and so much of whats used today is fairly young. The last minor ice age we had would have also meant slower and tighter wood grain during the bronze and iron ages. Just my opinion. Great vid.!

Excellent example of hand made primitive technology that still functions today. Back in the late 1970’s I renovated the oldest house in NC. It was a “lighter wood” structure with lighter wood shingles that had sat n that roof for over 250 years. Zero rot as is normal with lighter wood, 1/3 lap as he said and when in attic you could see that each shingle was 18 inches. It was put on a dovetailed mortise and tenon frame structure of lighter wood Pine. Virtually set on the ground for the entire time without a single bug eaten part to it at all. The technology was exactly like he did but using lighter wood pine that at times was 6-8 feet wide. The inside wall boards were two four foot boards stacked on each other and a wainscoting board running between them making up the 8’ 2” height of the rooms. I took off some of the boards to install wiring and found an entire cobblers kit from the 1730’s It was amazing. No nails as this preceded anything other than hand made nails.

That's not a mallet, that's a maul. It's actually more prevalent in European construction than mallets were. If you want to see more like it, google image searching 'maul' alone is useless thanks to Star Wars' 'Darth Maul' - so I'd suggest instead searching 'setting maul' which is a variant of a maul. A maul is just a large hammer, but when it comes to building tools maul usually means precisely what you see there. A lump of wood thinned to a handle at one end. They have a fun application in masonry too, operative masonry too if you catch my drift. ;)

Hand-split shingles remained common in alpine parts of Europe well into the 19th century! Some relatives of mine own a historic house with shingle roof and my dad says it was last re-done in the 1960s. Back then they found an old-timer who knew his way around wooden roofs. He measured everything and then spent an entire winter and possibly spring splitting shingles for one (large) roof. The following summer he removed all the old shingles and installed his new ones! AFAIK that roof is still holding up, although he predicted a lifetime of around 50 years. One of the issues with wooden shingles is that they do catch fire easily. I know of a house fire caused by a cigarette butt on the roof! Didn't do much damage because there were smoke detectors and people who knew what to do with a fire extinguisher but still, these things do burn well!

This is so calming and awesome. Also, the guy commentating and agreeing is quite funny.

Yeah... I seen the video on my suggestions and it didn't have the red bar as though I've never watched it. Clicked it to make sure its the video I remember, and ended up watching it all over again. A few recommended videos are ones I've watched forever ago and KZread seemingly forgot I've already seen them.

I'll get a couple of my grandbabies to watch. This sort is an idea builder that Roblox will never teach anything. The how to's they see and do the greater there knowledge to overcome problems or help make decisions.

Yup, I'm back for number two!

I don’t know why, because I don’t work with wood, but I completely can’t stop watching this. Seriously, just goodness

What an amazing craft. I can't imagine how long it would take to make enough shingles for entire roof, doing it this way. How satisfying it must be when you are done though. I never would have thought you could split wood against the grain, as he did with that second one. Fascinating the way they use to have to do things, and all the skills that our ancestors knew. I'm so glad people are preserving them.

Amazing! Thanks a lot for this video! I was recently in the Alps and there are a lot of huts with these kind of roof shingles. I was wondering how it is made.

you two old folks made half a hour of my life have a day worth of knowledge as I was their with ya.

This is amazing! we visited historic Williamsburg and they used this style of shingle and I never could find anyone who could tell me more about them. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing video of this craft!

Exceptionally clear demonstration!

Yes, this is a very interesting video. Enjoyed to the end.

I dont know why youtube reccomended this nor do i know why i watched all 36 minutes

Anyone else just in love with the design of that band-saw in the background?

We could turn it into a saw but its actually a foot operated pole lathe for wood turning.

Love this video!!!!! This has been a WONDERFUL enjoyable learning video. Wow, thank you. Very well done... every moment.. every second is educational-meat for me and eye-candy too.

true craftsmanship. Terrific work, thanks for sharing. also a great advertisement for the industrial revolution 😀

I love these videos, his side axe is absolutely wonderful

Lovely video, I never knew I wanted shingles on my outbuildings, let alone that they would need to be made by myself- but I do now.

Anyone who enjoys and takes pride in their work is worth listening to, love the mastership
