The chronicles of a city boy's efforts to make the transition to country life. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Making the Door Frame - part 2. The doorframe of a yurt can be as simple as what I built in part 1. I used a bit of highschool trigonometry to figure out how much wood had to come off the short side of the jambs to form the correct angle and marked along the length with my marking gauge. Then out came the hand plane. Putting a 79° bevel on the front edge of a door jamb. Rescrewing the wing to the jamb.

http://www.tenderfootfarmer.ca/2014/03/a-qualified-success.html
The chronicles of a city boy's efforts to make the transition to country life. Saturday, March 1, 2014. This week I took a third stab at putting up the yurt frame. As you can see in the photo to the right, it was a success. The operation went pretty smoothly, with thanks to my sister-in-law, Orlaith, who lent an extra hand when needed and snapped a bunch of photos when not. It all starts with the doorway. Some bracing for the doorway; two khanas attached. Adding the 4th and last khana. I'm a long-time ci...

The chronicles of a city boy's efforts to make the transition to country life. Friday, March 29, 2013. Dealing with Buckthorn - Part 1. Yesterday I took my first tour through Tenderfoot Farm since I officially took possession. The task I'd set for myself was to start cutting pathways through the dense growth in areas where I want easy access. I took my loppers and a bow saw, as well as my camera, and set out with the dual aims of exploring and clearing. Buckthorn showing orange just below the bark. It is...

The chronicles of a city boy's efforts to make the transition to country life. Tuesday, December 17, 2013. OK, I want to get a few more pictures up so I can show people what I've been up to when I see them over the holidays. I may be a bit brief with the narative on the next few posts. Test fitting. The slats aren't finished yet, so not ready for final assembly. The next photo shows Brenda and me applying the first coat of shellac to the slats. I chose shellac for the finish because it has excellent ...

The Tenderfoot Farmer: More Yurt Trouble
http://www.tenderfootfarmer.ca/2014/03/more-yurt-trouble.html
The chronicles of a city boy's efforts to make the transition to country life. Saturday, March 1, 2014. So how near-vertical are we talking here? Well, one answer is "about 5°". A less precise but more meaningful answer is "not vertical enough".
