Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Joshua, a carpenter restoring a 1966 Japanese-built 32-foot wooden sailboat off-grid in eastern Canada, fells his first candidate timber tree on April 10, 2026, only to find the heartwood rotten.16:36 The tree, a larch roughly 95 years old, looked sound from the outside; a cut revealed rot at the heart and, after milling, red heartwood with mycelial growth — disqualifying it for boatbuilding by the larch color rule (green and yellow are acceptable, red is not).31:16 Before the tree even came down, a broken front brake line and a snapped leaf spring had sidelined the truck for weeks.6:50 After felling, Joshua used ratchet straps, wedges, and directional cuts to drop the tree precisely, then cut it into 14-foot lengths.19:55 A chainsaw overheating mid-mill traced to a clogged oiler port; cleaning it and flipping the bar finished the cut.35:24 A seized idler pulley later threatened the truck again but was swapped with help from Chad.37:09 Interior hull work continued with paint stripper covered in plastic wrap and a full-face respirator with OVP 100 cartridges.24:55 A Blue Eddy Apex 300 portable power station with expansion battery handled simultaneous table-saw and shop-vac loads without tripping breakers.8:43 Joshua plans to try one or two more trees before sourcing framing stock elsewhere.37:40
