The first episode of this series showed our heavily treed 4.5 acre property in the Atherton Tablelands - Australia. We had a number of trees removed where we want to build. Now we have the timber we hope to use some of it for building with and as many projects as we can with it. Most of the timber is Grey Box (Hardwood) or it's other names - Gum-topped Box, Eucalyptus Microcarpa, Eucalyptus Woollsiana, Eucalyptus Hemiphloia and perhaps others. This Grey Box is tough stuff! Grey box is used for heavy construction, flooring, round timber wharfage, sleepers and shipbuilding.
In this video I decided to make a fire side bench seat. A really simple build using basic tools. I hope you enjoy the video.
Regards
Scott

Can you imagine clearing all your property by hand, building a house, and clearing a place for a garden.. making all your furniture by hand.. building a barn, etc.. Gives you a whole new respect for our forefathers and what they did with simple tools.. Scott glad to see you building out in the country and recording it.. Take care my friend and God Bless...

I have those thoughts constantly. They built 'em tough in the old days. Thanks Gary, God Bless you also.

Australian hardwoods are why so many of them perished or went home. The saws and axes they had weren't the best steel and hardwoods like this ate them up. Clearing a few acres of this to put in crops was nightmarish work and many starved as a result. Add in heat, fires, floods and droughts.

Loved this video and what an exciting new adventure. Ever watched Nik Rijavec build his cabin entirely out of logs…without machinery, except a chainsaw. Hand debarked. Logs non-mechanically moved moved into place. Makes the average person feel very inadequate but at the same time, so awe inspiring.

@ScottTurnerformeindustrious 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Cannot say I have, but maybe I'll have too. I have a lot of trees but they are not really suitable for a cabin. they are big, heavy and crooked.

Sweet that you are reusing the timber that you needed to clear for the house site. That will make for a far more rewarding build at the end of the day when you know that you've used timber that came from your land and has been incorporated into many of the structures that you want to create. Loving to see more. Catch up soon!! ....that is a familiar looking mallet, btw. lol

Many thanks Dale! So keen to use as much as of it as I can. Pity I couldn't get it segregated at the time of clearing due to extra $$. I'll get at it bit by bit. I hope you can come up one day. The mallet did the trick :)
