While the weather is good i am making preparations for the greenhouse project. This will be a winter workshop project with the goal of getting the greenhouse up in time for the next growing season.
It is 6.5m X 3.5m and made of reclaimed hardwood sleepers (untreated) I think it will be a fun project and im looking forward to starting the joinery. But first we have to do design, foundations and materials harvesting/collecting.

Hello my friend you have good tools😀🇧🇷
so skilful againnnnnnn
I would urge you never to run your hand over the top of the planer. Take your hand off and place it on the timber when it is over the out feed bed. I was a joiner and have seen and known people loose bits of their hand when they slip. You can also use silicone spray to lubricate the bed so you don’t have to use undue force which can also lead to injuries.
Hi Kris, I have always enjoyed your models, definitely an integral part of the design/build process for me as well. I find this particular frame intriguing because it's a different style than the typical frame you'd see here in the US. It's almost like a beautiful cross between a typical frame and a cruck frame. Brilliant way of opening up the central overhead down the middle, the typical way I've see people accomplish that is by using a hammer beam style truss. Your design is elegant yet simple, can't wait to see it standing!
Hey man. Starting on plans for a small timber frame house myself, looking for recommendations on where to find useful info about timber sizes etc… any ideas? Cheers, all the best!
If u plane a lot u should build yourself a first stage bin and use your dustcollector as second stage
untreated and very durable
hay what is slepers im in usa thinks
Aussie hardwood, beautiful timber but after one day working with your body will tell you why we no longer build hoses with it hare in Australia.
Wow ,you are such a hard worker ,and I stop being amazed at what you are accomplishing there . Love to you and Dot . I've been watching you since about the 5 th episode ,but I've fallen behind . I think it would behoove me to get that sorted .
Does "sleeper" mean "untreated"? What are the origins of the word "sleepers"?
HI Kris i wonder what your opinion is on the treated timbers we have available to us today the likes of decking ,fencing ,shiplap cladding and the like in my area it seem to be a fir or pine that is treated .
7mm, that impressive. But I need to know what inverter you using to run it? Thanks
Love watching you create. You are extremely talented. Thank you for taking good care of that little guy 💚
the australian is likely to be western australian jarrah.. old growth
Amazing work your doing. Would love to do the same. We have been looking for land in Lancashire but nothing suitable under the 50k mark. What is the model of the thicknesser you have ? It seems to work real well with your power source. Regards Paul.
Took me a minute or two to figure out a sleeper was a railroad tie. In the states our ties are not usually that nice. Love your place. Great job on the buildings.
You know Chris I've been watching you literally for day 1I'm always impressed which you're genius But you know accidents happen like your head Please put your goggles on your friend
I love your videos man being here since you done your house from standing in mood to how far you came, notifications on now to keep up with you 🤟🤟🇮🇪

A easy DIY cyclone wood chip and dust extractor might be a good winter build. Mostly scrap wood and no moving parts! Saves a lot of wear and tear on your new dust collector.

your'e a glutton for punishment
i've noticed that glass rooves have a habit of attracting wildlife into a building. i have a partial glass roof in my shed and the number of wasps and bees that come in through the door have warranted use of a dedicated catching bucket.

Don't ask what the incentive was behind that.

You've got a great way of not making a meal of things Kris, that dust collection box works brilliantly!
What is the difference between planing on the top of machine vs. through the internal space exactly? Thanks!
get a teeter.
it hangs you upside down by your feet……for your back
are they treated?
Have you ever thought about using the shou sugi ban technique for any of your wood projects? I took a woodshop class way back in high school and we used a planer machine just like that so they are floating around here and there in the US.
put some magnets on the box
Lighter passes on that planer, my friend. Less time sharpening blades!!
Brilliant just love watching you. From Tasmania. Xx
Kris, I only recently stumbled onto your channel. I am so impressed with your industry and creativity. Really splendid witnessing a craftsman create. Well done, cheers
