Anchoring timbers to stone: ancient technique with modern twist for building codes/extreme winds.
Anchoring timbers to stone: ancient technique with modern twist for building codes/extreme winds.
After many hundreds of questions on how the ancient stone plinth foundation style can be done today to moderate extreme winds or satisfy building codes and other concerns, we decided to show a modern twist that can be used in this situation if you choose. If done right, the anchor is not even visible and goes a long way to add peace of mind.

were those boots sage green at one point?
My dad was a mason who sometimes had to "bolt" heavy machines to walls and floors in factories. He would put a nut on the end of the rod, drill a hole large enough for the nut to go all the way to the bottom, put the rod and nut in it, fill the hole with a bit of fairly dry concrete, then put a solid iron tube with a relatively flat end over the rod and hammer on it, fill again with some more concrete, hammer again, repeat until level. He claimed it instantly secured very heavy machines.
Hi. I missed what was a mixture you use to fix steel bolt in stone ?

15:31 sounds like weekend
do you think this technique would hold well anchored to limestone boulders in the same way? I have an overabundance of limestone on my property and want to utilize it
yes
Imagine if they taught this in every school. I learn better watching than listening.

Thank you for the video! What was that liquid that you applied to the chared base of the timber?
I know there so many ‘old’ and developed tips and tricks that you have but dude the trick with the hose to blow away debris or shavings! Wow – I can’t understand why I have figured this out years ago. In the shop I use the compressed air but onsite, I just get that stuff in my mouth/eyes/ears! even if I wear a mask/goggles etc. Thanks for one of the many tips/techniques that you have come across and are now passing on. That’s how we all learn and then teach to others.
The problem is that your marking the wood to the contour of the stone is only valid for the outside edges. Perhaps a better contour can be made with modern imaging techniques. Do you know if gaps on the underside of the wood is a problem regarding strength?
I love your videos! Been watching for a couple of years now and always enjoy re watching your videos for inspiration. I recently acquired 20 acres that I am very much looking forward to creating my own oasis. Your videos give me advice and ideas to help me with future plans and I wanted to thank you for posting your creations here. Also as odd as it may sound. I also watch your videos at the end of the day to help me wind down and relax for sleep. Something about your videos relaxes me and bring me sound mind. Keep up the great work and thank you for sharing with us your creations! Much love from Georgia USA.
Un vrai génie du geste ! remarquable de maitrise , et de pertinence dans la combinaison de l’assemblage ! Je suis admiratif , c’est le moins que je puisse exprimer sincèrement Merci beaucoup
I love the channel, techniques, craftsmanship, patience, filming and editing! Very calming. Serious question though, and not just from a building code perspective. How does anchoring the building posts to the stones improve it’s ability to withstand high winds and avoid being tossed off of the "foundation"? The stones do not seem to be large or heavy enough to really resist the kind of uplift forces that could occur in high winds. I suppose attaching the posts to the stones is a measure beyond not doing it at all but I don’t quite understand how it could truly help.
대단해! 한옥도 충분히 지을수 있겠군요
What sort of cement do you use for inserting the rod in to the stone? Im under the impression any sort of cement will retain water and eventually rust that metal rod which will expand then eventually crack the cement / rock around it. I can see you using something called "sika" then later on some sort of other paste on top.
Forgot to mention that the chickadee is state bird of Maine

This guy made this additional video to satisfy people that were not satisfied with the ancient method and the comment section is full of people that are not satisfied with the modern technique.
Are you guys even going to try doing something like this or are you just posing questions just to annoy him ?
Very Very thank you!!!!!!!
is it seated plum and level?
Looks great. I wonder how heavy a stone is required in a state like Nebraska!
I’ve been watching a lot of your videos and I really can’t wait to get started on some of these techniques. (Currently sub-zero) but I have one question, what is the stuff you paint on the bottom of the posts once you’ve charred them? Great video as usual. Thank you 😊.
Where did you learn all these old-day skills? 👍☺️
I’d like to see an a-frame with a foundation like this…
You obviously know what your doing. Question: would a steel strap on band around the burnt part prevent a desire fot the post to split or start to split ? A nice black hand hammered iron strap with hand hammered nail heads or rivet.
wow thats crazy 😮
Wow.
Зачем обжигать?
So satisfying to watch, informative, deeply entertaining.
I wonder why you burn the bottom of the wood?
No words can express how much I love this channel. Thanks, this is beyond inspiring.
Hi. How it works in cold winters (like -15 and less cels.)? I mean…didn´t the frozen ground pushing it out? I love this idea and we have a lot of granite stones, so would like to use it.
Thx in advance.
What are you treating the wood with after burning? Amazing work btw 👏
Very extraordinary thank you for the knowledge.
Awesome channel. Even better work.

Nice work. I appreciate the sprinkling of new tech here and there. Some of the new materials are good. Some are ridiculous. As I live in the city and I must deal with the building authorities, are you aware of any resources that can be used to help show these techniques meet or exceed the code? As you say, the proof is in the many old structures built in this way that persist. The plan check people, unfortunately, don’t care about any of that.
Hello I think you’ve taught me a new way to do this step. It’s awesome. What is the step of burning the wood for? Thank you sir.
What percentage of rock split on you during the drill process?
WHY?

Where craft and art join.
Like a boss. Thanks for sharing!
Your videos are a sanctuary for me. Thank you!
This is immensely satisfying
I’m jealous(I’m a good way of there was one 😂) that you’re able to do this. I’m saving for a piece of land so I can do stuff like this. Looks like so much fun and stress free! Thank you for sharing with us
Any advice on choosig the stone? How big and heavy should stones be (for ~90 m2 building)? If larger stone is used can it be partly underground?
That old chalk line is awesome 😎
I want to build a fence on my rocky Maine soil. Cannot dig a hole and don’t want to use a backhoe to dig a monster hole. Got plenty of stones to use a base for posts. Will use this video as my guide. Thanks much!!
