so today I am building a picnic table out of logs what I'm going to do I'm
going to cut down a bunch of trees maybe about six or seven inches in diameter
and I'm going to rip them which means just cut them right in half
almost like splitting them with my chainsaw and then I'm going to put
together a picnic table
all right two down probably 20 more to go
ripping this tree here and I almost went right through a nail I'm gonna have to
sharpen my chain again but somehow there's just a really old nail right in
this tree see it's grown right is all right so I have made a lot of sawdust I
got all the logs that I cut and holder the bush ripped in half
and now I'm actually going to start building the picnic table so what I'm
going to do now is I'm going to take all the halves of the logs that I've ripped
and I'm just going to lean them up so I can sort of view them all in one place
right now they're in a bit of a pile and that way I can tell which board I'm
going to want to use for which part of the picnic table the smaller pieces are
going to be the top of the table and the really wide pieces can be the bench I'm
just kind of putting life sized pieces together right now
want to get this
now to make another one of these so that's the first one there and it looks
like we're going to have good amount of wood left over and this is the second
one here so I just got to knock that out and Hammer it together and then we
really got we're really going to have what's starting to look like a picnic
table so pretty excited about this
Oh
I made this notch here because the nails I have aren't long enough to go through
this whole log so this makes it a little thinner that way I can get the nails
through there into that log secure it properly that's good that's in there
develop this on the show I test okay so there we go we pretty much have the
makings of the a picnic table it's not perfect but it's supposed to have a
rough kind of look to it anyways and I'm going to do a few more things
I'm going to nail it all together and cut the ends off with a chain saw
it's going to be heavy so where it's going to we want to put it where it's
going to stay forever I call this video the Pioneer picnic table planning
yourself chain saws pioneers with chain saws time-traveling pioneer tape -
chainsaw table okay I just had to cut all this
okay the table is all nailed down and we have the two brace pieces underneath it
just to keep it from rocking from side to side because it's pretty long table
and now the only thing we have left to do is cut it down to size so I'm just
going to try to cut all of these the end sticking out flush and then we will have
a completed picnic table so we're about this close to being completely done
I'm not
Cheers
