very cool!
Awesome lesson on how to make hand split shakes. Great job gents!
We use Cedar Shakes here in Washington State USA. It is nice as it tapers itself if you flip the bolt after each split. Nice to see it done differently. Thank you for posting the video.
Great video. Just hard to understand your accents. Keep it going.
I used to work in a cedar shake mill and it was very interesting to see you guys make them out of oak.
the final product looks incredible!
German settlers around here, Western Maryland overlapped edges of shakes, (split shingles) as well as over lapped courses. Still a few original examples near by. This is much more wind tight. I made enough to cover smoke house and had whole pile get too scorched to use in fire of March 3, 1983. Reminder of how Indian fire arrows dealt with cabins of intruding European settlers.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Top Notch Work here Sirs!!!
