Is that cedar? My pine tends to warp.

Just wondering if that's a Sourwood. But persimmon kinda looks like that also.

Brilliant video about to do this myself now ( England) but can you tell me what Clay mortar consists of please? is it cement powder mixed with clay and water or is it just clay and water ?

Can someone tell me exactly what makes this „american“? 🤔

Hesco baskets flashed in my brain watching you do this.

My grandparents had an old rocking chair made from Rhododendron. Really a neat chair. The wood pieces were not completely straight. The rockers were oak.

I am enjoying watching this build. I am wondering how the floor and ceiling were insulated and finished?

Now you're ready to storm Frankenstein's castle!

Great restoration of a beautiful old saw. Your videos are top notch and always relaxing to watch and inspiring.

Thought this channel was linked to chickadee engineering..... Most definitely not yet still just as interesting.

Those shant be the boots we are used too, they be some form of teeny runner me thinks

All the labours of love involved in the making of these pieces. No wonder they were passed down from generation to generation as heirlooms. Outstanding artistry and craftsmanship. Also, Mrs Chickadee deserves applause for her videography skills.

Awesome start to the video. Like being in an 18th century woods, hearing your nearest neighbor chopping a tree down for his log cabin. A frontier experience. Thanks for that moment.

Better than a Skansnas chair..... I enjoyed the sounds of making with no music. Thanks for posting.

Is there anything Mr. Chickadee cannot do? I have seen no evidence of that as of this date my friend.

Are the insulation boards (is that rockwool?) protected from humidity from outside and inside of the house? I understand there should be a membrane on the outside and a vapour barrier on the inside.

Is the large bolt for attaching the scythe to the snath left or right hand thread? I have one that is seized up and I want to make sure that I'm going the right direction to work it loose.

Mr. C didn't explain the design. Air is brought in under where the wood is loaded via a grate the wood sits on. Where the wood sits is a "box inside a box" of firebrick inside regular clay brick with a gap (the cardboard, around 1/4 inch) to allow for firebrick expansion. The fire rises to hit the iron cooktop, then "flows" over a brick wall into the back channel where it rises up several feet, then, via a channel, is brought back down, and then up and out of the chimney in the last channel. Only the firebox needs the firebrick. The mortar is 1 part fireclay to 3 parts sand. I would add one part lime or 1/2 part Type N. The firebox should be refractory mortar with very, very thin joints and soaking the firebrick in water before applying mortar.

really impressive, I plan to do something much simpler, yet similar on my land in the next few years. This video has inspired me to move forward without fear. just an analytical note, the title mentions no machines. all tools are simple machines, am I right? Just a thought, maybe say no electric or motorized machines or only hand tools.

Thank you

I dont know anyone except soldiers that would wear 8" issue boots with shorts to work in😂😂😂. I say that because thats how i roll in the summer too.

Love the sound of that auger.

I feel better having just watched that... very relaxing 😌. More please, 'new follower'.😊

you can fall asleep

Scythe is like meditation and fitness

Your craftsmanship is incredible! I just stumbled across your videos and it was an amazing watch. Unfortunately, as a 34-year-old living with pretty severe psoriatic arthritis, it also made me realize just how much I can't do lol.

Hi Josh, do you mind telling us what type and thickness of glass you used (and if the selection matters)? Thanks for sharing this simple, effective technique!

amazing video, thank you so much !!!

I can't even imagine the effort you used to cut all of those stones..,..😮

Great job.

Really interesting to see how old school techniques do the same thing as modern construction. The footers with vertical stones and gravel are really interesting and it's cool seeing the stone-contact wood getting charred to prevent water from wicking into it instead of using pressure treated lumber. That scribing technique is still used a lot, but rarely on that complex a 3D shape. I'd be tempted to flatten the stone instead but maybe that would take longer or weaken it.

Now THIS is a extremely nice work!!!! (y)

Building stuff like this will make you stout.

Great job! Impossible Happy to follow such a cool example! How can I contact you via telegram or WhatsApp? I would like to order products!

I wonder what it's like having soil you can just dig into. On my property, the soil is like concrete, complete with gravel.

Hello! I love your videos, I just came across this old one and saw you used canola oil for finish. I've seen people say it goes rancid....how has this held up? I'd thinking about trying to use it.

I'm truly jealous of this guy's talent, patience and ability to follow his dreams.

4:56 What model is that air compressor? 😂 love the video man and the old school tools!

Very informative tutorial! I'm just now beginning to scythe, 06/07/2024 as it seems more practical at this point for me.

Лиственницу .... В ручную...и так точно прилегает.....монстр плотницкого дела !!

So satisfying to see it fit into the mortise.

I saw a hayfork made out of a hazelnut bush or tree, in a magazine photo of Ukraine.

Какая изящьная мастурбация! Красота просто. 😊

Your video inspires me to do better quality work , in a day and age when contractors just slap it up and it doesn’t last . Thanks !

все здорово и аутентично. а шуруповёртом пользоваться вера не позволяет, я правильно понял

ah mineral wool board insulation

Love this! You should open a school, i would be honored to apprentice! Great work👍

Love this, look great

Some very high level of skill, craftsmanship and concentration. Why were the sill posts scribed overtop the stones and not fastened in any way? They could slip under the stress of a storm. Or is that a proven over time traditional Japanese architecture? Amazing how those hand chiseled tenons all fit together. Thanks!

Hello @Mr. Chickadee, I have a question on how you keep your hewn timbers from splitting?
