 Hey everyone, Shea Bear 1000 here. Today we're going to be building kind of like rafters for our hut. And I'm going to use these tent poles, these old tent poles I got. What I'm going to do is like I'll have a piece of steel here like another straight piece. It's going to go into here like this. I got some cutting to do and then I'll have my peaked roof so it should be what I need it to be. Close to it. Not building a house, not building a cabin, not building a super shelter. Just building a little hut to hang out in. So let's go ahead and we'll get on to this and like I said I've got some cutting to do because these like here they have I'm going to be using these and they got that spring inside there I'm going to have to cut that spring and I'll have to cut a couple of these off while most of them all of them is going to have to be cut off and then that'll go in there and then like as you can see they're not the same size because this slides into one so I'm going to make sure they're all the same size so I can get you know get my peak where it needs to be you know what I mean so all right first I got to do some measuring and then I'm going to use my cut-off wheel here my grinder my 4-inch grinder we'll start making the same size and then I'll show you what I mean over there once we get this kind of set up I'll do one I'll show you one in the process and then I'll I'll show you what how it's going to be over there I'm probably going to not today I don't think today but I'm probably probably gonna have to get my welder out and tack these onto those yeah it's it's cheating I know but so is a lot of them guys that are out in the middle of nowhere and they're using chain saws and they're getting stuff from the sawmill you know it's not really cheating I'm just building a you know I'm just building a little hut in the backyard so anyway that's probably what I'll be doing with that so it'll be nice and sturdy and solid so let me get what I'm going to do set up here then we'll go from there okay so the first thing I'm going to do is I'm gonna cut all these chains off it's a shame I don't have a vice out here but that's alright we'll make do right let's get this plugged in plug is behind you I know I'm bumping the camera and stuff but you know not a filmmaker I'm a YouTube I'm a youtuber so now let's see if I can do this without it getting caught up in that chain and breaking something like me okay so let's get this down here that's that I'm gonna do that to the rest of them I got a few more down here what two more down here that I've got to do that too and I can figure out which ones which one of these I'm going to use which ones are going to be for other things so hang tight guys so hopefully you can see where I'm going with this there's my little rafters it's gonna be a lot higher than I expected or wanted but that's fine because this is the materials I got laying around I think the sides I think I am gonna buy some of that bamboo reed it comes in a row it's six feet high and 16 feet long so well they call it width but yeah so big mosquito I gotta get my mosquito spray on that's what I was talking about on my other video but yeah there so and I too will get me all the way around that thing I'll have to remeasure again and I'll let you know if I was wrong but I believe to get me all the way around the sides front and back because it's you know it's 30 feet in length and that's coming out to about 31 feet all the way around it so that'll be pretty cool it'll cost like 75 bucks for both rolls so all right I got a memory card like blinking so hang tight guys and I'll take you over there and I'll show you show you so you'll get an idea of what's going to happen up there okay guys so this is kind of what I'm going for so that's what I was talking about my thermosel video the other night here it is two o'clock in afternoon I was getting bit up I had to put spray on so you know I'm gonna be going for something like that I'll put one down the center on the front one one down the center on the back one and then lengthways down the center of the top and that'll hold it like from doing this so that's my plan I think the best way to do it would be to get my welder out here and tack weld these I think it's probably what I'm going to do but I need to go get my welder bring it out here so then I'll probably just tack this all together because it's just put in there with just got kind of like a tempo you know so I do have some screws I may try to put some self-tappers in it see if that helps I'll do that first and then then I'll probably get my welder out here you get up there and start tacking some welds on stick around more fun to come okay guys so try to put this up here by myself and clamp it I have to make sure in the middle let me check the other side oh wow that's that's almost dead on now this welding job is going to be bad I know it's going to be bad because this welder is horrible just a 110 just a 110 wire feed nothing special let's see if we get this tack I do have my water hose right over here just in case so let's try to tack this okay yeah the welds ain't as bad as I thought they was going to be I'm sure you guys can't see it tag on thing can you but hopefully you see what I'm I'm getting at here now I'm going to go around the other side and tack it before I pull that off of there because I don't how well that's gonna I don't know how well that's going to hold up so let me get my let me get my ladder around there and I'll get up there and we'll see hopefully that's in the middle I don't know if it is or not it's not that big of a deal I'm not building a house or garage or super shelter I'm building a hut so let me get that around for you okay as Mike would say let's give it a go some of you guys will get that so yeah that's what I'm going to do I'm going to finish welding them up I did burn a hole in that one over there on the other side and maybe even right here on the bottom but that's what you're doing when you're dealing with flux corn you don't have any gas well this water doesn't take gas so it's just meant to do little tiny projects like this it ain't meant to be pretty so if you're playing on welding something pretty don't do it with one of them it's a harbor freight thing so all right guys I'll be back with you in a second hang on okay guys so I got that up there I forgot to hit record I'm sorry so I got four more of these left I'm gonna put them every two feet this ten feet long so I'm gonna put one every two feet in between there and that'll keep that from sagging it's still it's still not quite straight but it don't have to be perfect you know it's I sort of fix that down there on the bottom but um yeah it's gonna be all right so I'll set you up here and you watch me set the the other rafters in and I'll get them wilded up this part here that's sticking out it's gonna be cut off right there I am gonna have a little porch on it monkey likes porches I'm gonna go from here out to here just a little ways just enough to put a chair under so it looks kind of cool I'm gonna use probably those pieces for that I don't know I got some steel galvanized that's what this is it's still just galvanized coating that's a lot of reason why it's popping and stuff because I didn't really grind it but it just got to be tacked on you know it's I'm not putting shingles or anything like that up there it's it's all gonna be palm frond so you know it's just gonna be just gonna be a little little hut so let me get you set up here and I'll get them set up on top and then I'll slide them down to measure them and I'll get them tacked in place hopefully I won't forget to hit record this time you're going to Jacksonville Jacksonville to stay with this friend hope he didn't get mad but you know I mean he parked right on the damn leech field thirty two hundred dollars don't even park there be every two feet it's a lot higher than what I wanted but that's all right oh it's gonna have a lot of lights in it yeah we're gonna put lights inside there battery powered I mean we got electric but they'll give you more videos to do and everybody's doing these damn shelters but I've never seen anybody do a dog shelter haven't either and they're doing these super shelters this is not a super show it's not a super shelter guys this is just a hut yeah we're building it out of a dog kennel you know if we was on five acres of land I would have enough wood I could just build one but then again I'm doing everything I'm doing the same thing everyone else is this is a little different and it's just for fun you never know we get tired of it we might use it for storage or something yeah I want yeah I'll use it for storage I'll store my little ass inside there okay guys so we got all the rafters in or if they ain't by any means perfectly straight but they're straight they're pleasing to the eye is what we used to call it when something don't have to be perfect you know like trailer frame would have to be perfect because if it ain't perfect it's not gonna be down the road right but certain things don't have to be perfect it's got to be pleasing to the eye and that's what that's gonna be seems a little rickety right now but I still got a well all the corners and I'm also gonna make some stakes wherever I put them out of some of this leftover fencing poles I'm gonna drive them in the ground and I'll weld on to the poles so that way it you know because this thing's gonna be light man I mean a couple hundred pounds tops you know what I mean so then it'll be all nice and sturdy and solid but yeah it's there I'm gonna call it quits for today and going to house for a little bit warm up my helmet wasn't darkening right so half of that time I was welding with my eyes closed and also that thing or something wrong with it as soon as you make contact before you even pull the trigger if that touches metal it's starting to weld so I don't like that you know so if you just get close and you're not ready yet and that and your wire touches the metal you know so I'm sure my eyes are going to be burning and scratchy tomorrow it feels like feels like you got sand in it you guys that have welded know what I'm talking about but yeah I don't I don't know why it does that but yeah you don't have to press that that button that's just feeding wire man it's it's I don't know if somebody did that or if there's something wrong with it but I don't even know if I'm gonna mess with it's all right for what I do but one of these days I'm gonna have them another Miller 212 you know gas welder this is not a gas welder it's just a 110 wire feed yeah what they call them the Miller Maddox or something that's what I had at work and man you can run a bead on anything man you can't run a bead on these things I've seen guys do it and it looks okay but you can still tell you know if you didn't see him doing it you can say man that's a damn nice weld for you know just having a little 110 wire feed which I have done before but man when you get used to a good welder and a good helmet and you know man you can just lay down beads all day long this thing would have been done a long time ago but so the squirrel over here behind me messing around he's been watching me weld soon away guys thanks for watching we got that much of it down like I said this is getting cut off I did tell monkey because I said that's not gonna be a porch he said it's not gonna be ever it's not gonna have a porch I said that's not gonna be the porch he goes oh let's hope you put a porch on it I said I know that's why I already told the camera well I said that's why I already told YouTube I'm gonna put a porch on here so that's getting cut off there so anyway guys yeah it's good it's just gonna be fun you know down the walls I may I think I've got enough I may put like every couple feet like I did up there you know I'm gonna put it up right here and one in the back and then down the sides and maybe one in the center on the back if I got enough pipe I think I might have we'll just have to see and play it by ear but yeah it's getting there so I'll show you real quick I did burn through a couple times like three times but not I thought every one of them I would be burning through but it didn't so there's what we're looking at if you guys can see that down through there so there's kind of a whoop-de-doo right in dead center of that but that's okay I kind of screwed up there but that's all right it'll be fine yeah turn out okay this one was over just a little bit too much that'll be alright I can trim that off and cut it down or cut the welds and move it I don't know we'll see it'll be fine alright guys well anyway thanks for watching I appreciate it hopefully you guys had a great weekend and we'll see you in the next one she bears I'm at the man ledge I'm gone for now well let's look you guys take care
