\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: The Boneyard challenge is on.

6
00:00:16,951 --> 00:00:19,051
MARK: All right, this is like \h\h\h\h\hthe "Family Feud."

7
00:00:19,051 --> 00:00:20,821
NARRATOR: They’re building \h\h\h\h\h\hFort Barnwood.

8
00:00:20,821 --> 00:00:22,151
I think that’s a great idea.

NARRATOR: On this mission, they’ll battle the cold...

10
00:00:24,721 --> 00:00:26,261
My pickles are frozen.

11
00:00:26,261 --> 00:00:27,891
\hSomebody turn that wind off.

12
00:00:27,891 --> 00:00:29,491
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: ...create complex strategies...

13
00:00:29,491 --> 00:00:30,861
\h\h\hI forgot all about that.

14
00:00:30,861 --> 00:00:33,831
\h\h\h...and deploy all kinds of gear.

15
00:00:33,831 --> 00:00:36,101
But when these guys face \ha challenge together...

16
00:00:36,101 --> 00:00:37,671
I’ll cover you! Go, go!

17
00:00:37,671 --> 00:00:39,571
\h\h...it’s always a whole lot of fun.

18
00:00:39,571 --> 00:00:41,841
Y’all want a break dance war? \h\h\h\hA little top rocket?

19
00:00:44,271 --> 00:00:45,541
NARRATOR: 200 years ago,

20
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:48,511
\h\h\hthe American pioneers built their barns by hand.

21
00:00:49,711 --> 00:00:53,221
\h\h\h\h\h\hMark Bowe gives these old barns new lives.

22
00:00:55,421 --> 00:00:57,651
Saving history is tough work.

23
00:00:57,651 --> 00:01:01,361
So Mark has put together \h\h\h\hone tough crew --

24
00:01:01,361 --> 00:01:03,191
Sherman,

25
00:01:03,191 --> 00:01:05,161

00:01:27,581 --> 00:01:32,221
This is the Boneyard, home to pioneer logs

30
00:01:32,221 --> 00:01:34,661
\h\h\h\hand a sacred site where men earn the right

31
00:01:34,661 --> 00:01:36,661
to call themselves a Barnwood Builder.

32
00:01:37,991 --> 00:01:40,531
This place is a proving ground.

33
00:01:40,531 --> 00:01:44,201
\h\hEvery year, Mark lays down a creative Boneyard challenge.

34
00:01:44,901 --> 00:01:47,541
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThis time, it’s in the dead of winter,

35
00:01:47,541 --> 00:01:49,771
\h\h\htesting the mettle of his battle-ready crew

36
00:01:49,771 --> 00:01:52,411
with something fun.

37
00:01:52,411 --> 00:01:54,011
MARK: I’ve always wanted \h\h\h\hto build a fort.

38
00:01:54,641 --> 00:01:56,181
JOHNNY: Yeah, yeah. \h\h\h\h\hBe great.

39
00:01:56,181 --> 00:01:58,221
\hYeah, that’d look nice, too.

40
00:01:58,221 --> 00:02:00,481
Yeah, I mean, that would be \h\h\hpretty cool, I think.

41
00:02:00,481 --> 00:02:01,491
Something we haven’t done.

42
00:02:01,491 --> 00:02:02,751
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTIM: I think that’s a great idea.

43
00:02:02,751 --> 00:02:05,261
\hBuild, like, a little cantilevered building.

44
00:02:05,261 --> 00:02:07,791
\h\hThe forts I’ve built weren’t made out of logs,

45
00:02:07,791 --> 00:02:09,931
just sticks and stuff.

46
00:02:09,931 --> 00:02:12,061
\hWhen you was a kid or when you was in the military?

47
00:02:12,061 --> 00:02:13,501
\h\h\h\hBoth.

48
00:02:13,501 --> 00:02:14,801
\h\h\h\h\hGot hit with rocks a lot.

49
00:02:17,531 --> 00:02:19,471
NARRATOR: Real log forts \h\hwere a critical part

50
00:02:19,471 --> 00:02:22,941
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hof survival on the American frontier.

51
00:02:22,941 --> 00:02:25,941
\hMany of these structures had a unique, cantilevered design.

52
00:02:27,081 --> 00:02:30,281
\h\h\h\h\hA wider top gave the pioneers an advantage.

53
00:02:30,281 --> 00:02:32,681
\h\h\h\hIt made the fort more difficult to breach.

54
00:02:34,181 --> 00:02:37,921
\h\hBut building Fort Barnwood all depends on what’s in stock.

55
00:02:37,921 --> 00:02:40,061
MARK: Well, let’s spread out. We’ve got to measure two things.

56
00:02:40,061 --> 00:02:42,161
We’ve got to measure the length,

57
00:02:43,091 --> 00:02:48,471
the width, the thickness, and how many.

58
00:02:48,471 --> 00:02:50,301
\h\h\h\h\h\h-Two things. -Those are the two things

59
00:02:50,301 --> 00:02:53,501
that we’ve got to do. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Two.

60
00:02:53,501 --> 00:02:55,071
MARK: We’re just gonna have \h\hto work twice as hard.

61
00:02:55,071 --> 00:02:56,211
\h\h\h\h\h\hALEX: Count my fingers.

62
00:02:59,681 --> 00:03:02,311
\hLet’s split up sides of the yard

63
00:03:02,311 --> 00:03:04,511
Four corners.

64
00:03:04,511 --> 00:03:07,381
So, as a kid, have you ever \htaken a couple of chairs

65
00:03:07,381 --> 00:03:10,321
\h\hand put a sheet over it and built yourself a fort?

66
00:03:10,321 --> 00:03:11,591
That’s what we’re gonna do.

67
00:03:11,591 --> 00:03:13,861
\h\h\h\h\h\hBut now we’re adults and we know how to use our hands

68
00:03:13,861 --> 00:03:16,131
\h\hand we got a lot of inventory of logs.

69
00:03:16,131 --> 00:03:17,961
We’ll have some fun \hthis week, baby.

70
00:03:17,961 --> 00:03:19,901
All right, let’s measure \h\h\hthese logs right here

71
00:03:19,901 --> 00:03:21,161
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand see what we’ve got in here.

72
00:03:21,161 --> 00:03:23,131
\hNARRATOR: The first phase of this Boneyard challenge

73
00:03:23,131 --> 00:03:25,101
is finding the right logs.

74
00:03:25,101 --> 00:03:26,171
Gonna lose too much.

75
00:03:26,171 --> 00:03:27,901
Yeah, that’s too long \h\h\h\h\ha log, there.

76
00:03:27,901 --> 00:03:29,811
There’s a whole lot of inventory here,

77
00:03:29,811 --> 00:03:30,911
but most of it

78
00:03:30,911 --> 00:03:33,081
\hneeds to be saved for Mark’s clients.

79
00:03:33,081 --> 00:03:37,511
So, what I’ve got here is a log that has, you know,

80
00:03:37,511 --> 00:03:39,881
\h\h\h\hthis has got a 16-inch face on it

81
00:03:39,881 --> 00:03:43,091
and the thickness \h\his almost 7.

82
00:03:43,991 --> 00:03:45,661
That’s good enough \hfor a log house.

83
00:03:45,661 --> 00:03:48,361
\h\h\h\hThat’s stuff we build cabins out of.

84
00:03:48,361 --> 00:03:52,331
The other things, over here, they’re a little bit thinner

85
00:03:52,331 --> 00:03:56,901
\h\h\h\hand the faces aren’t nearly as big.

86
00:03:56,901 --> 00:04:00,241
\h\h\hThis log here is about 5 and a half inches thick

87
00:04:00,241 --> 00:04:02,571
\h\h\h\hand the face of it is only about 8 inches,

88
00:04:02,571 --> 00:04:05,311
and that’s what we’re trying \h\hto build this fort out of.

89
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:08,651
\h\h\h-18’s and 17’s in here. -Right here is the 18 footers

90
00:04:08,651 --> 00:04:10,181
and these are 6s.

91
00:04:10,181 --> 00:04:12,781
-We got 7 here. -6 and a half.

92
00:04:12,781 --> 00:04:17,191
-We got 9 down here. -A lot of variables.

93
00:04:17,191 --> 00:04:18,561
MARK: Well, let’s see \hhow the other guys

94
00:04:18,561 --> 00:04:22,591
are making out over there, see what they got cooking.

95
00:04:22,591 --> 00:04:24,461
-It’s gonna be cold today. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-I know.

96
00:04:24,461 --> 00:04:26,531
\h\hMARK: You want to borrow a jacket?

97
00:04:27,501 --> 00:04:30,001
All right, this is like \h\hthe "Family Feud."

98
00:04:30,001 --> 00:04:31,901
What’s your answer?

99
00:04:31,901 --> 00:04:33,541
I’d say you got plenty \h\h\h\h\h\hto build one.

100
00:04:33,541 --> 00:04:35,041
\hOkay. Thickness, what do you think?

101
00:04:35,041 --> 00:04:36,611
\h\h\h\hThickness, I’d say you’re gonna have to go

102
00:04:36,611 --> 00:04:39,111
from, like, 6 to 7 and a half.

103
00:04:39,111 --> 00:04:40,641
Perfect. \h\h\h\hThat’s what we got.

104
00:04:40,641 --> 00:04:41,881
We can work with that.

105
00:04:41,881 --> 00:04:44,581
We could build another one \h\h\hout of bigger faces,

106
00:04:44,581 --> 00:04:47,051
but we should save those \h\h\h\h\h\hfor a house.

107
00:04:47,051 --> 00:04:49,121
We found drip logs, too.

108
00:04:49,121 --> 00:04:50,421
Yeah.

109
00:04:50,421 --> 00:04:52,161
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hHe done got you saying the word "drip logs."

110
00:04:52,161 --> 00:04:54,161
We found top plates.

111
00:04:54,161 --> 00:04:55,891
ALEX: Well, we found \h\h\h\h\hdrip logs.

112
00:04:55,891 --> 00:04:59,961
We found two of them.

113
00:04:59,961 --> 00:05:01,831
So, let’s get the logs out,

114
00:05:01,831 --> 00:05:03,771
let’s get the foundation \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hin place.

115
00:05:03,771 --> 00:05:06,241
This is as good a spot as any. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hAll right.

116
00:05:06,501 --> 00:05:09,171
\hWe’re the go team, they’re the no team.

Ooh.

118
00:05:12,441 --> 00:05:15,681
Y’all want a breakdance war? \h\h\h\h\h\hLittle top rock?

\h\h\h\h\hHey, Johnny, you run the yellow one.

125
00:05:32,901 --> 00:05:34,361
\h\h\h\h\hSo, we need two different piles.

126
00:05:35,031 --> 00:05:37,071
\hThis is the "yes," meaning we’re going to build with it

127
00:05:37,071 --> 00:05:38,871
and this is the "no," meaning

128
00:05:38,871 --> 00:05:40,501
we’re not going to use it \h\h\h\h\hthis go around.

129
00:05:41,171 --> 00:05:43,771
\h\h\h-I want those, for sure. -Where do you want to put them?

130
00:05:43,771 --> 00:05:44,941
\h\h\h\hOver in front of the timber frame?

131
00:05:44,941 --> 00:05:46,841
-Yep.

132
00:05:52,151 --> 00:05:56,821
That’s a "no," man. \h\hThat’s a "no."

133
00:05:56,821 --> 00:05:58,791
Those are nice logs.

134

NARRATOR: With so much inventory to shuffle around,

135
00:06:01,421 --> 00:06:03,891
they need every machine \h\h\h\h\hthey’ve got,

136
00:06:03,891 --> 00:06:06,301
\h\hand that means they need to recruit another operator.

137
00:06:07,031 --> 00:06:09,231
How’d you like to learn to be good on the new stuff?

138
00:06:09,231 --> 00:06:13,301
That way, in 10 years, you’ll be great on the old stuff.

139
00:06:13,301 --> 00:06:15,611
Yeah. Yeah, I can \hrun something.

140
00:06:15,611 --> 00:06:17,611
\h\hWhat do you want me to run?

141
00:06:19,181 --> 00:06:20,681
\h\h\hThe skidsteer is all that’s left.

142
00:06:21,211 --> 00:06:22,751
\hCan you run a skidsteer? \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

143
00:06:22,751 --> 00:06:24,581
All right.

00:06:31,621 --> 00:06:34,061
TIM: Yeah, I’m kind of out \h\hof my realm right here.

145
00:06:34,061 --> 00:06:35,791
I’m not very good on this.

146
00:06:35,791 --> 00:06:37,231
There’s a 100-foot limit

147
00:06:37,231 --> 00:06:40,061
\haround this safety barrier right now, and you’re in it.

148
00:06:42,371 --> 00:06:45,071
That’s a smart move. \h\h\h\h\hSmart move.

149
00:06:48,711 --> 00:06:50,711
\h\h\hThere’s a reason I don’t run equipment.

150
00:06:53,111 --> 00:06:54,611
Well, you’re getting ready \h\h\h\h\hto figure it out.

151
00:06:58,521 --> 00:07:00,281
MARK: The thing about it is -- \h\hwhen you’re working around

152
00:07:00,281 --> 00:07:03,951
a lot of these heavy timbers -- if you don’t know the operator,

153
00:07:03,951 --> 00:07:06,491
then you better be careful.

154
00:07:06,491 --> 00:07:08,991
Hey, Graham, you got the safety briefing.

155
00:07:08,991 --> 00:07:11,031
\hYou know I ain’t very good at this.

156
00:07:11,031 --> 00:07:12,831
I think Tim’s doing a good job at that.

157
00:07:13,701 --> 00:07:15,671
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTim’s doing great on this equipment, by the way.

158
00:07:16,371 --> 00:07:19,471
\h\hSometimes, I think Tim just says he can’t do stuff

159
00:07:19,471 --> 00:07:20,671
so he don’t have to do stuff.

160
00:07:22,741 --> 00:07:24,741
Whoa, ho!

161
00:07:25,481 --> 00:07:26,981
I spoke too soon about Tim.

162
00:07:28,651 --> 00:07:31,111
Okay, come on.

163
00:07:31,111 --> 00:07:32,521
All right.

164
00:07:32,521 --> 00:07:34,151
TIM: Years ago, I was pretty \hgood at handling equipment.

165
00:07:34,151 --> 00:07:35,491
Mark put me on anything.

166
00:07:35,491 --> 00:07:38,051
But it just takes a little time \h\h\h\h\hback in the cockpit,

167
00:07:38,051 --> 00:07:40,161
you know what I’m saying?

168
00:07:40,161 --> 00:07:44,631
I don’t want passengers yet.

169
00:07:44,631 --> 00:07:47,631
NARRATOR: They’ve got the logs, \h\h\h\h\hnow they need a plan.

170
00:07:49,201 --> 00:07:51,131
\h\hALEX: Mark wants me to draw the fort, here.

171
00:07:53,641 --> 00:07:56,571
\h\h\hOne of my favorite things about working for Mark Bowe is,

172
00:07:56,571 --> 00:07:59,411
is he really wants you \h\h\h\hto be creative

173
00:07:59,411 --> 00:08:00,811
when you’re doing something.

174
00:08:00,811 --> 00:08:04,211
I love the fact that when I come to work,

175
00:08:04,211 --> 00:08:09,091
\h\hmy opinion matters, my creativity matters.

176
00:08:09,091 --> 00:08:12,421
Mark cares about that \h\hbecause he knows

177
00:08:12,421 --> 00:08:14,721
\h\hhe can’t come up with every idea in the world.

178
00:08:16,691 --> 00:08:19,161
So, let’s see what I can \h\h\hcome up with, here.

179
00:08:19,731 --> 00:08:22,471
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: The base of Fort Barnwood \hwill be 12 feet square

180
00:08:22,471 --> 00:08:24,631
and run nine courses high.

181
00:08:24,631 --> 00:08:29,111
They’ll add 16-foot cantilevered logs to support the upper half

182
00:08:29,111 --> 00:08:31,911
and finish off the fort \h\h\h\h\hwith rafters.

183
00:08:31,911 --> 00:08:32,911
Man, this is gonna \hbe fun, ain’t it?

184
00:08:32,911 --> 00:08:33,911
Yeah.

185
00:08:33,911 --> 00:08:35,081
\h\h\hYeah, I like this kind of stuff.

186
00:08:35,081 --> 00:08:36,251
Me too, man.

187
00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:42,351
Alex’s plan becomes the guide \hto lay out the foundation.

188
00:08:42,351 --> 00:08:44,221
4 foot 7 and a half.

189
00:08:44,221 --> 00:08:46,161
\h\hNARRATOR: And before they can start notching,

190
00:08:46,161 --> 00:08:47,691
these logs need a good cleaning.

191
00:08:49,431 --> 00:08:51,731
\hTIM: Man, I’ll tell you what, that things duller than a fro.

192
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:55,061
JOHNNY: I’m telling you.

193
00:08:55,061 --> 00:08:57,131
\hWell, that ain’t gonna cut nothing.

194
00:08:57,131 --> 00:08:59,071
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hDo you think you could tune them up a little bit, Alex?

195
00:08:59,071 --> 00:09:00,741
Yeah, I can go sharpen them on the wheel there.

196
00:09:02,541 --> 00:09:06,111
\h\h\hThis stone come from the schoolhouse,

197
00:09:06,111 --> 00:09:07,741
the one-room schoolhouse.

198
00:09:07,741 --> 00:09:09,981
Sherman found it in there.

199
00:09:12,021 --> 00:09:16,191
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: When the guys took down \hthe log schoolhouse,

200
00:09:16,191 --> 00:09:19,061
they found all sorts \h\h\h\hof treasures,

201
00:09:19,061 --> 00:09:21,091
including this old grind stone.

202
00:09:21,091 --> 00:09:25,091
SHERMAN: An old grinder made out of a piece of sandstone,

203
00:09:25,701 --> 00:09:27,861
carved into a wheel.

204
00:09:27,861 --> 00:09:29,931
It’s so cool.

205
00:09:29,931 --> 00:09:31,971
NARRATOR: They brought it back \h\h\h\h\h\h\hto the Boneyard,

206
00:09:31,971 --> 00:09:33,901
and Alex gave it a new life.

207
00:09:33,901 --> 00:09:37,141
\h\h\h\h\hI took what I had and made this for Sherman,

208
00:09:37,141 --> 00:09:40,511
and everything’s wood pegged -- \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwood dowels.

209
00:09:40,511 --> 00:09:43,151
I turned all the dowels \h\h\h\h\hdown myself,

210
00:09:43,151 --> 00:09:46,451
mortise and tenon \h\hall the ends.

211
00:09:46,451 --> 00:09:51,291
The water basically lubricates \hthe sandstone and the metal.

212
00:09:52,961 --> 00:09:54,691
We’ll see if we can’t \hput an edge back on

213
00:09:54,691 --> 00:09:56,461
some of these draw knives.

214
00:10:14,411 --> 00:10:17,781
Kind of like an old treadmill -- real old.

215
00:10:18,581 --> 00:10:22,121
And it is a workout, \h\hlet me tell you.

216
00:10:22,121 --> 00:10:24,191
Hard to believe people pay money to go to the gym, ain’t it?

217
00:10:26,021 --> 00:10:30,891
Yeah, I think that’s gonna \h\hbe sharper than it was.

218
00:10:30,891 --> 00:10:33,131
\h\hTry them out and see if they work any better.

219
00:10:33,131 --> 00:10:34,501
JOHNNY: There you go, my bud.

220
00:10:37,701 --> 00:10:40,341
Oh, my goodness.

221
00:10:40,341 --> 00:10:42,041
\h\h\hTIM: It’s like he bought new ones while he was gone.

222
00:10:43,541 --> 00:10:45,311
That’s a big difference.

223
00:10:45,311 --> 00:10:47,381
I’ll say he done \h\h\ha fine job.

224
00:10:47,381 --> 00:10:48,541
Excellent.

225
00:10:48,541 --> 00:10:51,981
Yeah, them things are almost factory edge on them.

226
00:10:53,881 --> 00:10:56,591
MARK: A square plus B square \h\h\h\h\h\hequals C square.

227
00:10:56,591 --> 00:10:58,051
They way you get it square

228
00:10:58,051 --> 00:11:00,821
is to check that hypotenuse \h\h\h\h\h\hon that angle.

229
00:11:00,821 --> 00:11:02,031
The hypotenuse?

230
00:11:02,031 --> 00:11:03,591
\hYeah, I seen it cross the creek a while ago.

231
00:11:08,751 --> 00:11:10,881
Somebody turn that wind off.

232
00:11:13,551 --> 00:11:15,591
It’s a little chilly.

233
00:11:17,491 --> 00:11:19,361
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: It’s winter in West Virginia,

MARK: We’re gonna \h\hbuild a fort.

236
00:11:25,101 --> 00:11:27,071
I mean, we’ve been thinking \h\h\habout building forts

237
00:11:27,071 --> 00:11:28,271
since we were kids.

238
00:11:28,271 --> 00:11:30,401
And if you look back in history,

239
00:11:30,401 --> 00:11:32,801
\h\h\h\h\hthere’s what’s called block houses and there’s forts.

240
00:11:32,801 --> 00:11:34,811
\h\h\h\hWe’ve seen them in the various places we’ve traveled,

241
00:11:34,811 --> 00:11:36,141
\h\h\h\hso now we get to have a little fun

242
00:11:36,141 --> 00:11:37,241
and build our own.

243
00:11:39,181 --> 00:11:42,151
NARRATOR: Fort Barnwood will \h\hstart with a 12-foot base

244
00:11:42,151 --> 00:11:44,651
and cantilever out \h\h\h\hto 16 feet.

245
00:11:46,721 --> 00:11:48,191
\h\h\hThe way an old log fort’s designed,

246
00:11:48,191 --> 00:11:50,591
it’s smaller on the bottom \h\hand bigger on the top.

247
00:11:50,591 --> 00:11:53,061
That way, the people couldn’t get up and then climb around

248
00:11:53,061 --> 00:11:54,561
into the top section.

249
00:11:54,561 --> 00:11:56,701
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSomething unique, something we’ve not done before.

250
00:11:56,701 --> 00:11:58,131
It’s gonna be fun.

251
00:11:58,131 --> 00:12:00,901
\hNARRATOR: But it’s not easy having fun when its freezing.

252
00:12:00,901 --> 00:12:01,971
MARK: We’ll fight through the cold

253
00:12:01,971 --> 00:12:03,801
\h\hif it’s something we really want to do.

254
00:12:03,801 --> 00:12:05,401
\h\hAnd building this fort and getting to be creative,

255
00:12:05,401 --> 00:12:07,071
it’s what we want to do this week.

00:12:10,781 --> 00:12:13,241
\h\hI’m cutting this log down closer to 12 foot 3,

\h\h\h\h\hWhat I want to do, this is gonna be our starter log.

263
00:12:32,501 --> 00:12:33,631
All right.

264
00:12:33,631 --> 00:12:34,931
So, I just want to cut \h\hthis 10 inches tall.

265
00:12:34,931 --> 00:12:37,371
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hOkay. All our starters’ll be 10.

00:13:17,281 --> 00:13:18,381
Which way?

276
00:13:18,381 --> 00:13:19,881
Needs to go this way, it looks like.

277
00:13:19,881 --> 00:13:22,651

280
00:13:29,151 --> 00:13:30,661
Actually, it’d be 12 foot 3.

281
00:13:31,691 --> 00:13:34,361
\hMARK: So, when you’re squaring up a building,

282
00:13:34,361 --> 00:13:36,631
you have to measure...

283
00:13:36,631 --> 00:13:39,731
we want 12 foot this way,

284
00:13:39,731 --> 00:13:43,171
so that needs to be 12, \hthis needs to be 12.

285
00:13:43,171 --> 00:13:44,841
And the only way to make sure \h\h\h\h\hthat this building

286
00:13:44,841 --> 00:13:47,141
\his square is, you have to measure this diagonal

287
00:13:47,141 --> 00:13:48,971
and you have to measure \h\h\h\h\hthis diagonal.

288
00:13:48,971 --> 00:13:53,781
\h\hAnd if you do your math, you would have this A square

289
00:13:53,781 --> 00:13:56,681
plus B square equals C square.

290
00:13:56,681 --> 00:13:58,981
So, part of this \h\his geometry.

Geometry?

292
00:14:00,791 --> 00:14:04,361
\h\h\h\hYeah. That’s geometrically accurate.

293
00:14:04,361 --> 00:14:06,021
And then, sometimes, you find a rock

294
00:14:06,021 --> 00:14:08,991
and it’s got geometry in it, too, if it’s ancient.

295

\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJOHNNY: Hey, Graham? GRAHAM: Yeah?

320
00:15:47,291 --> 00:15:52,581
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCome here. Not very square.

321
00:15:57,251 --> 00:16:02,291
\h\hThis is gonna give you an idea of how cold it is.

322
00:16:02,291 --> 00:16:06,191
This is my daily snack,

323
00:16:06,191 --> 00:16:08,331
and my pickles are frozen.

324
00:16:08,331 --> 00:16:10,801
It’s like a picklesicle.

325
00:16:10,801 --> 00:16:12,401
\hAnd if I go over there and put this by the fire,

326
00:16:12,401 --> 00:16:15,001
\h\h\h\hit’ll turn all slushy, and then guess what I’ll have?

327
00:16:15,001 --> 00:16:15,801
A schlickle!

328
00:16:17,211 --> 00:16:19,711
I’m gonna go warm these up \h\h\h\h\h\h\hby the fire.

329
00:16:19,711 --> 00:16:21,681
So, if I set this here,

330
00:16:21,681 --> 00:16:24,181
it’ll get all toasty \h\h\hin a little bit

331
00:16:24,181 --> 00:16:25,751
\h\h\h\h\hand I’ll be able to get the day started,

332
00:16:25,751 --> 00:16:27,221
you know what I mean?

333
00:16:27,221 --> 00:16:30,021
Some people need the caffeine. \h\h\h\hI prefer to have a pickle.

334
00:16:37,391 --> 00:16:40,131
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJOHNNY: \h\hI’m glad the sun’s shining, but it sure is cold, ain’t it?

335
00:16:40,131 --> 00:16:41,431
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMan: Well, you know what they say

336
00:16:41,431 --> 00:16:43,231
\habout the weather in West Virginia --

337
00:16:43,231 --> 00:16:45,501
if you don’t like it, wait 10 minutes.

338
00:16:49,071 --> 00:16:50,841
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: It’s a bone-chilling morning,

339
00:16:50,841 --> 00:16:53,281
but the Barnwood Builders \h\h\haren’t backing down

340
00:16:53,281 --> 00:16:55,281
from this Boneyard challenge.

341
00:16:55,281 --> 00:16:59,111
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hSo, what’s gonna have to happen here is, I think Graham,

342
00:16:59,111 --> 00:17:00,851
you probably need to take the lead

343
00:17:00,851 --> 00:17:02,921
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hand get the cantilever notches cut.

344
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:03,791
Okay.

345
00:17:03,791 --> 00:17:04,851
So, it’s cold --

346
00:17:04,851 --> 00:17:06,991
it’s six degrees out \h\h\h\hthis morning,

347
00:17:06,991 --> 00:17:08,721
\h\h\hand I think we’re gonna have to take a lot of breaks,

348
00:17:08,721 --> 00:17:10,761
\h\h\h\h\h\hbut we’ve got a lot of work to do, too.

349
00:17:10,761 --> 00:17:11,961
ALEX: Yeah.

350
00:17:11,961 --> 00:17:14,931
\h\hHow is it in Siberia, where you just came from?

351
00:17:14,931 --> 00:17:15,901
Sunny and warm.

352
00:17:17,101 --> 00:17:20,201
Is it summer in Siberia? It is summer in Siberia.

353
00:17:20,201 --> 00:17:22,641
\h\h\hAll right. man. Well, let’s gather up stuff and get to work.

354
00:17:22,641 --> 00:17:24,471
-All right.

355
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:33,921
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTIM: Yeah, it’s slippery out here.

356
00:17:33,921 --> 00:17:36,481
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGot a little ice around the yard, a little snow.

357
00:17:36,481 --> 00:17:38,021
So, we’ve just got to keep \h\h\han eye on each other

358
00:17:38,021 --> 00:17:39,121
and take care of each other.

359
00:17:39,121 --> 00:17:40,521
ALEX: Set it down.

360
00:17:55,401 --> 00:17:57,771
Just set them down on the top log when you set them.

361
00:17:59,111 --> 00:18:01,141
What I’m hoping to do \h\his get, you know,

362
00:18:01,141 --> 00:18:02,581
the first floor up,

363
00:18:02,581 --> 00:18:04,911
\h\hthen notch the cantilevers. And if we can get there today,

364
00:18:04,911 --> 00:18:06,651
\h\h\h\h\h\hI’d love to get the 16 footers in the air.

365
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:15,521
Back in the pioneer days, \hevery house was a fort.

366
00:18:15,521 --> 00:18:17,591
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJOHNNY: Yeah. On the frontier.

367
00:18:17,591 --> 00:18:18,961
Yep.

368
00:18:18,961 --> 00:18:20,701
Can you imagine living where you’re surrounded

369
00:18:20,701 --> 00:18:22,831
\h\h\h\h\hby somebody that might kill you?

370
00:18:22,831 --> 00:18:27,571
I mean, just way outnumbered, trying to live everyday life,

371
00:18:27,571 --> 00:18:30,041
and all your neighbors \h\h\h\hwant you dead?

372
00:18:30,041 --> 00:18:31,841
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hTIM: That’s the way I live now.

373
00:18:40,481 --> 00:18:43,951
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR \hWhen it gets this cold, most folks call it quits,

374
00:18:43,951 --> 00:18:47,391
\h\hbut these guys aren’t most folks.

375
00:18:47,391 --> 00:18:50,291
ALEX: I’ll tell you, when it’s cold, nothing works, except us.

376
00:18:54,131 --> 00:18:57,371
-How you looking? \h\h\h\h\h-Good.

377
00:18:57,371 --> 00:18:58,831
TIM: It’s coming good, man.

378
00:18:58,831 --> 00:19:00,741
\h\h\h\hWe’re making good progress today,

379
00:19:03,071 --> 00:19:04,271
even though it’s cold, and...

380
00:19:05,041 --> 00:19:06,681
JOHNNY: You guys cold?

381
00:19:06,681 --> 00:19:07,711
You’re darn right.

382
00:19:08,411 --> 00:19:09,581
Want to go take a break? \h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

383
00:19:09,581 --> 00:19:11,651
We’re doing awful good.

384
00:19:11,651 --> 00:19:13,421
\h\h\hTake a break. Them guys are cold,

385
00:19:13,421 --> 00:19:16,821
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hbut I’m getting a little bit hot in there.

386
00:19:19,691 --> 00:19:21,421
NARRATOR: The upper half \h\h\h\hof Fort Barnwood

387
00:19:21,421 --> 00:19:24,991
\h\h\h\h\h\hwill bump out from 12 feet to 16 feet.

388
00:19:24,991 --> 00:19:26,931
To support that weight, \h\h\hthey need to find

389
00:19:26,931 --> 00:19:30,831
two strong logs to use \h\h\h\has cantilevers.

390
00:19:30,831 --> 00:19:32,671
\h\h\h\hSHERMAN: What about this big oak one down here?

391
00:19:32,671 --> 00:19:33,571
It’s notched.

392
00:19:33,571 --> 00:19:34,901
Should be able \h\hto get them

393
00:19:34,901 --> 00:19:36,771
all out of this bundle right here, then.

394
00:19:36,771 --> 00:19:40,281
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: Mark Bowe always ups the ante with the Boneyard challenge.

395
00:19:40,281 --> 00:19:43,141
This time, he’s betting \h\hon Graham Ferguson.

396
00:19:43,751 --> 00:19:44,751
GRAHAM: Want to start \h\h\hwith these two?

397
00:19:44,751 --> 00:19:46,821
They look like a decent pair.

398
00:19:46,821 --> 00:19:47,851
MARK: It’s on you, baby.

399
00:19:47,851 --> 00:19:49,021
GRAHAM: All right.

400
00:19:49,021 --> 00:19:51,651
So, Graham is now the man

401
00:19:51,651 --> 00:19:53,691
and we’ll see what he can do \h\h\hwith these cantilevers.

402
00:19:53,691 --> 00:19:56,261
I’ve got 100% confidence in him

403
00:19:56,261 --> 00:19:59,261
and this is what he’s been doing for the last several years.

404
00:19:59,261 --> 00:20:01,761
\hEverybody’s capable of doing everything,

405
00:20:01,761 --> 00:20:05,171
\h\h\h\hbut we want one person to take the lead on a project.

406
00:20:05,171 --> 00:20:07,641
Sometimes that’s Sherman, \h\h\htoday it’s Graham.

407
00:20:07,641 --> 00:20:12,111
NARRATOR: But this Boneyard challenge will not be easy.

408
00:20:12,111 --> 00:20:13,641
The cantilever logs require

409
00:20:13,641 --> 00:20:15,611
a complex series of four notches.

410
00:20:16,111 --> 00:20:18,081
\hThe two inner notches must line up perfectly

411
00:20:18,081 --> 00:20:20,121
with the lower cabin,

412
00:20:20,121 --> 00:20:23,551
while the two outer notches set the width for the second floor.

413
00:20:24,921 --> 00:20:28,291
But with hand-hewn logs, precision is never easy.

414
00:20:29,191 --> 00:20:32,631
GRAHAM: We’re laying out \h\hour centerline here.

415
00:20:32,631 --> 00:20:34,061
Since there’s no straight edge

416
00:20:34,061 --> 00:20:37,131
on any of these rounded, \h\h\h\h\hhand-hewn logs,

417
00:20:37,131 --> 00:20:39,901
by running a straight line down the middle with our chalk line,

418
00:20:39,901 --> 00:20:44,271
it gives us a nice, square \hmeasurement to work with.

419
00:20:44,271 --> 00:20:45,611
Measuring can be tough.

420
00:20:45,611 --> 00:20:47,581
There’s a lot of calculations \h\h\h\h\hto make, sometimes,

421
00:20:47,581 --> 00:20:50,381
but it’s a very important part \hof getting this to sit right.

422
00:20:50,981 --> 00:20:52,451
-2 foot, 1 and a half. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah.

423
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:54,581
-One 2 foot 1 and a half. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hYeah.

424
00:20:54,581 --> 00:20:56,021
\hWhat do you think, Graham, is that right?

425
00:20:56,621 --> 00:21:00,321
\hI think so. Working out?

426
00:21:00,321 --> 00:21:03,991
No, that’s...not right.

427
00:21:03,991 --> 00:21:06,131
\h\h2 foot, 1 and a half’s up here.

428
00:21:06,131 --> 00:21:08,201
\h2 foot 1 and a half up to -- where did you say?

429
00:21:08,201 --> 00:21:10,331
\h2 foot 1 and a half is from the outside,

430
00:21:10,331 --> 00:21:11,501
\h\h\h\h\hthis is from our inside.

431
00:21:11,501 --> 00:21:12,831
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: With a log this tricky,

432
00:21:12,831 --> 00:21:15,601
\h\h\h\hit’s good to have the seasoned eyes of Johnny Jett.

433
00:21:15,601 --> 00:21:17,511
\hJOHNNY: You can find the center of this log

434
00:21:17,511 --> 00:21:21,241
and then go half the distance, so that’s 130, whatever it was.

435
00:21:21,241 --> 00:21:24,051
\hThat’s what I say. That makes the most sense, yeah.

436
00:21:24,051 --> 00:21:26,781
What do you got from the end of that mark you just made, Tim?

437
00:21:26,781 --> 00:21:29,481
\h\h\h\h\hI got 2 foot 7 and three quarter inches.

438
00:21:29,481 --> 00:21:30,921
That’s good enough.

439
00:21:30,921 --> 00:21:33,151
\hGRAHAM: But if you divide this by half,

440
00:21:33,151 --> 00:21:35,961
take into consideration the degree on the notch,

441
00:21:35,961 --> 00:21:37,831
put the inoculator \h\h\h\h\hin there,

442
00:21:37,831 --> 00:21:41,061
and then, again, multiply it by 3.25, it adds up

443
00:21:41,061 --> 00:21:42,731
\h\hto exactly what you’re gonna need.

444
00:21:42,731 --> 00:21:46,071
\h\hYeah, but if you don’t take into factor the Coriolis effect

445
00:21:46,071 --> 00:21:47,371
and the curvature \h\hof the Earth,

446
00:21:47,371 --> 00:21:49,541
\h\hyou’re not gonna get there from here.

447
00:21:49,541 --> 00:21:51,341
JOHNNY: I forgot all about that.

448
00:21:56,381 --> 00:21:57,781
GRAHAM: I’m gonna go ahead \h\h\h\h\hand cut this one.

449
00:22:17,131 --> 00:22:18,401
-Hey, Graham? \h\h\h-Yeah.

450
00:22:18,401 --> 00:22:20,301
\h\h\h-Come here. -Not very square.

451
00:22:20,301 --> 00:22:22,371
Unh-unh. You need to cut, like,

452
00:22:22,371 --> 00:22:26,011
a half inch or something -- from zero to half inch down here.

453
00:22:26,011 --> 00:22:26,711
GRAHAM: Okay.

454
00:22:26,711 --> 00:22:30,041
So, this square here,

455
00:22:30,041 --> 00:22:31,351
\hwhen I set it in that notch,

456
00:22:31,351 --> 00:22:34,381
it ought to have been square \h\h\hwith the top of this log.

457
00:22:34,381 --> 00:22:36,891
\h\h\h\hIt’s gonna cause the log to roll out or something, right?

458
00:22:36,891 --> 00:22:40,391
Yeah, yeah. And the log sitting \h\hon top of it won’t fit, then.

459
00:22:40,391 --> 00:22:42,861
All right, so, I’ll just cut \h\h\h\h\h\hfrom this zero...

460
00:22:42,861 --> 00:22:44,891
Zero to half inch, \h\h\hor whatever.

461
00:22:44,891 --> 00:22:46,391
All right, I’ll see \h\hwhat I can do.

462
00:23:01,281 --> 00:23:04,951
I’m gonna use Johnny’s \h\h\htechnique here --

463
00:23:04,951 --> 00:23:09,251
\hthe Johnny method -- checking my notch, making sure it works.

464
00:23:11,251 --> 00:23:13,221
Johnny seems to have \h\hthe simplest ways

465
00:23:13,221 --> 00:23:14,821
to figure stuff out.

466
00:23:14,821 --> 00:23:16,721
I think it would be impossible \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hwithout Johnny.

467
00:23:25,841 --> 00:23:28,311
NARRATOR: Here on the Boneyard, \h\h\h\h\hthe Barnwood Builders

468
00:23:28,311 --> 00:23:31,181
\h\h\htest their talents with the toughest tasks.

469
00:23:31,181 --> 00:23:34,721
\h\hIt’s what they call the Boneyard challenge.

470
00:23:34,721 --> 00:23:37,021
Over the years, they’ve turned \h\h\h\h\ha shipping container

471
00:23:37,021 --> 00:23:39,221
into a classic pioneer cabin

472
00:23:39,221 --> 00:23:43,121
and used leftover logs to create an open-air pavilion.

473
00:23:44,431 --> 00:23:46,061
-Good-looking header log, \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hain’t it?

474
00:23:46,061 --> 00:23:49,331
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h-Yeah. -Yeah, it’ll look good \h\h\h\h\hin the front.

475
00:23:49,331 --> 00:23:51,831
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hJOHNNY: This is the tie log coming in.

476
00:23:51,831 --> 00:23:53,571
\h\h\hNARRATOR: This week, they’re building something

477
00:23:53,571 --> 00:23:55,771
they’ve never done before --

478
00:23:55,771 --> 00:23:59,571
a log fort cantilevered \h\hon all four sides.

479
00:23:59,571 --> 00:24:02,481
\h\h\hBut it’s as cold as Siberia in January.

480
00:24:05,681 --> 00:24:09,121
-There you go, Vladimir. \h\h-Thank you, comrade.

481
00:24:09,121 --> 00:24:13,921
Comrade Granski.

482
00:24:13,921 --> 00:24:15,621
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hGRAHAM: There you go, last 12 footer.

483
00:24:16,161 --> 00:24:17,931
\h\h\h\hThat’s the last one before the cantilevers?

484
00:24:17,931 --> 00:24:19,261
\h\h-Yeah. -All right.

485
00:24:19,261 --> 00:24:20,431
I like it.

486
00:24:20,431 --> 00:24:21,731
You done good, Graham.

487
00:24:21,731 --> 00:24:23,061
We ain’t had to fix \h\h\ha notch yet.

488
00:24:23,831 --> 00:24:26,201
Yeah.

489
00:24:26,201 --> 00:24:27,401
\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: Log forts like this

490
00:24:27,401 --> 00:24:30,001
\h\hwere a vital part of American history.

491
00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:33,171
\h\h\h\h\hPioneers often called these old forts "block houses."

492
00:24:33,171 --> 00:24:37,881
Every settler that came in here \h\h\h\hhad to defend his home,

493
00:24:37,881 --> 00:24:40,181
\h\h\h\h\h\hand a block house was some of the first houses

494
00:24:40,181 --> 00:24:42,981
\hthat came in here -- or that people built --

495
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:45,921
\hand they could defend from the upstairs part.

496
00:24:46,721 --> 00:24:48,591
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hIf we only knew what the settlers went through

497
00:24:48,591 --> 00:24:51,561
when they came in here, \h\h\h\hwe’d be amazed.

498
00:24:51,561 --> 00:24:53,291
NARRATOR: With the base \hof the fort stacked,

499
00:24:53,291 --> 00:24:55,561
\h\h\h\hit’s time for the cantilever logs,

500
00:24:55,561 --> 00:24:58,501
\h\h\h\h\h\hand this will put Graham Ferguson to the test.

501
00:24:59,131 --> 00:25:01,141
\hGRAHAM: We’re getting ready to see if this is gonna work.

502
00:25:01,141 --> 00:25:02,471
\h\h\h\h\h\hWe don’t know till we get it in there.

503
00:25:04,211 --> 00:25:05,841
\h\h\h\hALEX: I’m good if you’re good, Graham.

504
00:25:06,111 --> 00:25:08,541
GRAHAM: You need to come your way a couple inches.

505
00:25:08,541 --> 00:25:10,911
\h\h\h\h\h-There it is. -That’s awesome, guys.

506
00:25:12,011 --> 00:25:13,651
It looks good, man.

507
00:25:13,651 --> 00:25:15,581
\h\hGraham, I’d say you did all right.

508
00:25:15,581 --> 00:25:19,021
\h\h\hTIM: Not bad for the first cantilevered fort we’ve ever built.

509
00:25:22,891 --> 00:25:27,701
Hey, he went from Vladimir to Laddermir.

510
00:25:27,701 --> 00:25:29,831
He’s Laddermir Pu-Tim.

511
00:25:35,971 --> 00:25:38,041
Laddermir Pu-Tim.

512
00:25:41,511 --> 00:25:43,911
Laddermir Pu-Tim.

513
00:25:49,051 --> 00:25:53,351
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: Graham’s cantilever logs fit, \hbut now there’s a problem.

514
00:25:53,351 --> 00:25:55,361
\hMARK: Look at the weight that’s going on that notch.

515
00:25:55,361 --> 00:25:57,431
\h\h\h\h\hI don’t think that one’s gonna hold.

516
00:25:57,431 --> 00:25:58,831
I’m just looking at \hthe entire weight

517
00:25:58,831 --> 00:26:01,131
\hof this cabin being on that.

518
00:26:01,131 --> 00:26:03,701
GRAHAM: Yeah. You’re right, \h\hthat’s a lot of weight

519
00:26:03,701 --> 00:26:05,031
on that little piece of hickory.

520
00:26:05,031 --> 00:26:07,741
I wonder if we ought to put an angle brace up.

521
00:26:08,641 --> 00:26:10,071
Everything from here up

522
00:26:10,071 --> 00:26:12,511
is going to be carried by this section

523
00:26:12,511 --> 00:26:16,311
and I think that this needs to be -- no pun intended --

524
00:26:16,311 --> 00:26:17,611
\h\hbut it needs to be fortified.

525
00:26:17,611 --> 00:26:19,881
\h\h\hSo, it’s gonna have to go from here,

526
00:26:19,881 --> 00:26:22,151
as an angle brace, down to this point.

527
00:26:26,021 --> 00:26:27,991
NARRATOR: To support the cantilever logs,

528
00:26:27,991 --> 00:26:31,431
they cut 45-degree angle braces,

529
00:26:31,431 --> 00:26:33,031
set them in place,

530
00:26:33,031 --> 00:26:35,801
\h\h\h\h\h\hand secure them with 8-inch timber screws.

531
00:26:38,731 --> 00:26:40,401
Yeah, I think we’re learning \h\h\h\h\has we go, you know.

532
00:26:40,401 --> 00:26:42,171
We’re making a few mistakes \h\h\h\h\h\hhere and there.

533
00:26:42,171 --> 00:26:44,671
\h\h\h\hEvery project has a learning curve

534
00:26:44,671 --> 00:26:46,971
\h\hand so, you know, this is no exception.

535
00:26:46,971 --> 00:26:48,511
We’re learning as we go.

536
00:26:48,511 --> 00:26:51,481
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hCreativity comes from experimentation

537
00:26:51,481 --> 00:26:53,921
\hand I think you’ve got to be willing to step out of the box

538
00:26:53,921 --> 00:26:56,551
to be able to make something \h\h\h\h\h\hnew and exciting.

539
00:26:57,591 --> 00:26:59,451
NARRATOR: This challenge \heven has them thinking

540
00:26:59,451 --> 00:27:02,791
\h\h\h\habout new ways to solve old problems.

541
00:27:02,791 --> 00:27:04,531
Give us our wedges.

542
00:27:04,531 --> 00:27:07,661
\h\h\hTypically, notches need a final adjustment.

543
00:27:07,661 --> 00:27:11,471
To do that, the guys use wedges \h\h\h\h\hto separate the logs,

544
00:27:12,201 --> 00:27:14,571
then run the chainsaw \hbetween the notches

545
00:27:14,571 --> 00:27:15,901
to create a perfect fit

546
00:27:16,541 --> 00:27:18,541
But this job’s different.

547
00:27:19,411 --> 00:27:21,511
All right, pick it \h\h\ha little bit.

548
00:27:26,151 --> 00:27:28,381
\hAll right, let her down.

549
00:27:28,381 --> 00:27:29,681
\h\h\h\h\hThat one looks pretty good.

550
00:27:30,381 --> 00:27:32,191
Normally, we can jack up

551
00:27:32,191 --> 00:27:33,921
the weight of the log \h\h\h\h\h\hwith wedges

552
00:27:33,921 --> 00:27:36,461
because we have another log \h\h\h\hright underneath of it.

553
00:27:36,461 --> 00:27:38,591
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hBut in this case, there’s nothing underneath of it

554
00:27:38,591 --> 00:27:41,901
to pry up on, so Johnny’s gonna \h\h\h\hput these boards right here

555
00:27:41,901 --> 00:27:44,001
with that little lever \h\h\h\h\hon the bottom.

556
00:27:44,001 --> 00:27:46,101
\h\h\h\h\hAnd that way, he can raise this log

557
00:27:46,101 --> 00:27:48,001
just enough to pull my saw out.

558
00:27:48,571 --> 00:27:51,071
It’s called a Johnny Jack. It’s Johnny’s idea.

559
00:27:52,311 --> 00:27:54,411
All right, that one’s good. \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hMove over there.

560
00:27:55,041 --> 00:27:58,251
Got to get a little bit creative with what you’ve got

561
00:27:58,251 --> 00:28:00,951
to make what you need \h\h\h\h\hto get by.

562
00:28:10,221 --> 00:28:12,661
Raise it a little bit.

563
00:28:12,661 --> 00:28:15,961
\h\h\h\hMARK: That’s a pretty ingenious way to do that.

564
00:28:15,961 --> 00:28:17,701
\h\hYou know what this is?

565
00:28:17,701 --> 00:28:19,031
What?

566
00:28:19,031 --> 00:28:20,901
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hThat’s what we call "a little hillbilly know how."

567
00:28:20,901 --> 00:28:22,271
Yeah.

568
00:28:22,271 --> 00:28:24,311
You’ve got to figure something \h\hout and hillbillys know how.

569
00:28:25,211 --> 00:28:28,541
That’s right. \h\h\h\hYep.

570
00:28:29,681 --> 00:28:32,451
MARK: All right, so, here it is. This is the American icon.

571
00:28:32,451 --> 00:28:33,921
It’s a very small cabin,

572
00:28:33,921 --> 00:28:36,121
\hjust like they would have built them back in the day.

573
00:28:37,351 --> 00:28:45,671
This is how pioneers started. \h\h\h\hThey started simple.

574
00:28:45,671 --> 00:28:48,541
\h\hNARRATOR: When Mark Bowe isn’t saving pioneer cabins,

575
00:28:48,541 --> 00:28:49,811
he’s creating his own.

576
00:28:50,311 --> 00:28:54,151
\h\h\h\hThis classic log cabin looks like a pioneer original,

577
00:28:54,151 --> 00:28:57,221
but Mark and the guys actually \hbuilt it using reclaimed wood

578
00:28:57,221 --> 00:28:58,951
\h\h\h\hfrom several different buildings.

579
00:29:10,731 --> 00:29:13,531
All right, so, here it is. This is the American icon.

580
00:29:13,531 --> 00:29:17,001
\h\h\h\hIt’s a 16 x 18, it’s a very small cabin

581
00:29:17,001 --> 00:29:19,411
\hjust like they would have built them back in the day.

582
00:29:19,411 --> 00:29:23,911
And what makes this one special for us is because we built it.

583
00:29:23,911 --> 00:29:26,751
We sourced all the materials, \h\hand we notched the logs,

584
00:29:26,751 --> 00:29:28,211
and we got it up in the air.

585
00:29:28,211 --> 00:29:31,421
\h\hWe had a lot of fun with it. And the reality is, these cabins

586
00:29:31,421 --> 00:29:33,191
are getting harder and harder to find.

587
00:29:33,191 --> 00:29:36,991
\h\h\h\h\hSo we gathered up parts and pieces from multiple cabins,

588
00:29:36,991 --> 00:29:38,931
put our own custom \h\hdovetail on it,

589
00:29:39,661 --> 00:29:41,291
now it’s stacked up beautiful as ever.

590
00:29:41,291 --> 00:29:44,461
\hIt looks like it’s been part of the landscape for 100 years.

591
00:29:44,461 --> 00:29:46,201
Once we’ve procured the logs,

592
00:29:46,201 --> 00:29:48,831
you’ve got to make the dovetails look like they’ve been here.

593
00:29:48,831 --> 00:29:52,171
These will actually weather \h\hin about 3 to 6 months

594
00:29:52,171 --> 00:29:53,471
and then you will not be able

595
00:29:53,471 --> 00:29:55,681
\h\h\h\h\hto tell that this is a custom-built building.

596
00:29:56,381 --> 00:29:58,311
\hThis is the vision that I had in my head

597
00:29:58,311 --> 00:30:00,051
whenever we started \h\hbuilding this.

598
00:30:00,051 --> 00:30:01,611
This is the porch post I wanted,

599
00:30:01,611 --> 00:30:05,121
these are the rafters I wanted, that’s the roof board I wanted.

600
00:30:05,121 --> 00:30:06,491
Because the whole thing

601
00:30:06,491 --> 00:30:08,991
\h\h\h\habout being able to pull up to this cabin,

602
00:30:08,991 --> 00:30:10,961
\h\hmaking it look like it grew here,

603
00:30:10,961 --> 00:30:13,691
is the materials after the stack.

604
00:30:13,691 --> 00:30:15,661
And those materials might \h\h\hcome from Indiana,

605
00:30:15,661 --> 00:30:18,561
Pennsylvania, Canada -- \hwherever we get them,

606
00:30:18,561 --> 00:30:21,771
as long as they match the look, \h\h\hthat’s what we’re after.

607
00:30:21,771 --> 00:30:25,141
\hI sourced these windows from an architectural salvage place

608
00:30:25,141 --> 00:30:27,771
and just put it together with a couple of 2 x 8’s

609
00:30:27,771 --> 00:30:30,181
and that made the framing \h\h\h\h\hfor the window.

610
00:30:30,181 --> 00:30:32,881
The chinking here has got \h\hall these trial marks

611
00:30:32,881 --> 00:30:36,021
and textures to make it look like it was the original mud

612
00:30:36,021 --> 00:30:37,051
and horse hair.

613
00:30:37,051 --> 00:30:38,581
\h\h\h\hSo, I think, if you take your time

614
00:30:38,581 --> 00:30:40,191
and you have the vision,

615
00:30:40,191 --> 00:30:41,991
\h\hyou can create a beautiful project

616
00:30:41,991 --> 00:30:43,361
that’s all in the details.

617
00:30:43,361 --> 00:30:45,521
We can just rough frame out \h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hthe doors,

618
00:30:45,521 --> 00:30:46,831
then we can just build our door.

619
00:30:51,101 --> 00:30:52,731
It’s just simple, you know?

620
00:30:52,731 --> 00:30:56,901
It’s just a 16 x 18, \h\h\hone-room cabin.

621
00:30:56,901 --> 00:30:59,511
This is how pioneers started. \h\h\h\hThey started simple.

622
00:30:59,511 --> 00:31:03,181
Families grew onto them, houses grew out of them,

623
00:31:03,181 --> 00:31:04,881
but this is the core.

624
00:31:05,641 --> 00:31:10,321
\h\h\h\hOriginal roof boards, nice big logs, Z-brace door.

625
00:31:11,051 --> 00:31:12,281
This is it.

626
00:31:12,281 --> 00:31:13,951
And this is what \hwe’re proud of,

627
00:31:13,951 --> 00:31:16,921
and this is what we love to do \h\hthe most, the simple stuff.

628
00:31:22,761 --> 00:31:24,331
\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: Back at the Boneyard,

629
00:31:24,331 --> 00:31:28,271
they’re using spare inventory \hto build a small log fort.

630
00:31:28,271 --> 00:31:30,571
We love these small buildings.

631
00:31:30,571 --> 00:31:34,871
Sometimes we build these monster houses and everything’s custom,

632
00:31:34,871 --> 00:31:38,841
but what we really love to do \hare these pioneer buildings

633
00:31:38,841 --> 00:31:41,111
that are representative \h\h\hof the buildings

634
00:31:41,111 --> 00:31:42,251

646
00:32:29,631 --> 00:32:32,131
NARRATOR: The last two logs \h\h\h\hare the top plates.

647
00:32:33,401 --> 00:32:35,201
They saw one side flat

648
00:32:35,201 --> 00:32:37,541
to provide a level base \h\h\hfor the rafters.

649
00:32:40,471 --> 00:32:42,911
GRAHAM: Hey.

650
00:32:42,911 --> 00:32:44,081

653
00:32:53,221 --> 00:32:55,491
Looks like a good-looking fort.

654
00:32:55,491 --> 00:32:57,591
I’d fight out of it.

655
00:32:57,591 --> 00:33:00,761

656
00:33:01,991 --> 00:33:04,661
I’ll cover you. Go, go! \h\hJohnny, shoot him.

657
00:33:13,511 --> 00:33:16,921
NARRATOR: Fort Barnwood has been a challenge for these guys.

658
00:33:16,921 --> 00:33:18,791
It’s also been tough \h\h\hon their tools.

659
00:33:20,951 --> 00:33:24,021
\hThis unique machine gives their chainsaw blades a quick tune up.

660
00:33:25,891 --> 00:33:29,361
ALEX: This little gadget right \h\hhere has probably saved us

661
00:33:29,361 --> 00:33:31,531
thousands of dollars in chains.

662
00:33:37,471 --> 00:33:39,171
Welcome to the 21st century.

663
00:33:39,171 --> 00:33:42,181
This is pioneer meets \h\h\hnew technology.

664
00:33:46,311 --> 00:33:49,251
\h\h\hNARRATOR: The final phase of the Boneyard challenge is on

665
00:33:49,251 --> 00:33:51,751
\h\hand Fort Barnwood is ready for rafters.

666
00:33:51,751 --> 00:33:55,061
\h\h\h\h\hSo, last year, Sherman made a rafter jig

667
00:33:55,061 --> 00:33:59,161
that we could use in Colorado \hfor the spring-house cabin.

668
00:33:59,161 --> 00:34:01,191
This jig is a template.

669
00:34:01,191 --> 00:34:03,461
This cabin is being built \h\h\h\h\hthe same size,

670
00:34:03,461 --> 00:34:06,171
\h\h\h\h\h\h\hso we can use the same jig Sherman made.

671
00:34:06,171 --> 00:34:08,941
The chainsaw is gonna \hrun down this line

672
00:34:08,941 --> 00:34:10,201
and then back this line.

673
00:34:21,921 --> 00:34:26,891
And then, we’re gonna cut \hthe rafters off flush,

674
00:34:26,891 --> 00:34:32,131
then do the same thing \h\h\h\h\hat the peak.

675
00:34:32,131 --> 00:34:35,131
\hThe way this works is, we’ve got a guide system

676
00:34:35,131 --> 00:34:37,801
\h\h\h\h\hand we’ve got these braces spread out

677
00:34:37,801 --> 00:34:39,001
just the distance of the guide.

678
00:34:39,001 --> 00:34:41,131
And so, when he makes this cut,

679
00:34:41,131 --> 00:34:44,401
it cuts everything off flush, \h\h\h\hcuts three at a time.

680
00:34:44,401 --> 00:34:47,511
\h\h\h\h\h\hThese are the key to making any kind of a jig.

681
00:34:50,541 --> 00:34:54,011
Rafters all have to be uniform, \h\hand if they’re not uniform

682
00:34:54,011 --> 00:34:57,481
\hthey won’t sit on the top plate and they won’t meet at the peak.

683
00:35:03,691 --> 00:35:07,061
\h\h\h\h\hNow, some people build rafters in a factory.

684
00:35:07,061 --> 00:35:09,831
We make them in 6-degree weather with a jig and a chain saw,

685
00:35:09,831 --> 00:35:14,571
so we’re trying to be efficient, because it’s cold.

686
00:35:22,241 --> 00:35:25,851
\hGRAHAM: Getting ready to put some rafters on this here fort.

687
00:35:25,851 --> 00:35:28,151
You coming up, Alex?

688
00:35:28,151 --> 00:35:29,421
ALEX: You need me up there?

689
00:35:29,421 --> 00:35:31,451
\hGRAHAM: Yeah, come on up. We can start setting them.

690
00:35:31,451 --> 00:35:32,991
Somebody can just hand them \hright up and we can move

691
00:35:32,991 --> 00:35:34,891
right along on this deal.

692
00:35:34,891 --> 00:35:37,461
That one should go flush \hto the outside, right?

693
00:35:37,461 --> 00:35:39,191
\h\h\h\h\h\h\h\hNARRATOR: As lead man on this job,

694
00:35:39,191 --> 00:35:42,761
\h\h\h\hGraham is operating at the peak of performance.

You guys go ahead and take a screw,

696
00:35:44,031 --> 00:35:45,731
I’ll support the peak for you for a minute.

\h\h\h\h\hYeah, man. Here, you need this?

701
00:35:56,381 --> 00:35:59,481
\hYeah, it should be flush. Does it look flush to you?

702
00:35:59,481 --> 00:36:01,651
Good.

703
00:36:01,651 --> 00:36:03,821
-Ready? \h-Yep.
