Ever broken a shovel handle? Here is one way you can fix it up! We used dried wildwood ash to carve out a rustic handle, rivet it securely in place and plant a tree. We have propagated various fruit and nut trees to sell this winter. We have searched far and wide to provide the very best cultivars for the homestead or front yard!

Making a steam bent firewood carrier with hand tools from green wood
Переглядів 85 тис.Рік тому
Past years i've used my arm or a wheelbarrow to bring firewood to the house, neither being that practical for us. I finally made time this year to make a few steam bent wooden carriers. Some green hickory was used from our pond where ive always got staves stored. This wood was split and shaved then steamed and bent into a simple form to dry a few days. Round tenons and a few dry pegs keep it al...

We found a great deal on some old RR bridge stones put in back in the WPA days under Roosevelt. These things are massive, weighing around 1Ton each, and needed to be broken up before being movable. A cape chisel and wedges made the splits then a stone hammer and some chisels to clean them up and give a more natural shape.

Making a saw buck and cutting firewood with hand tools
Переглядів 132 тис.2 роки тому
Tis the season for firewood! When cutting firewood with hand tools, we have come to prefer smaller trees from where the forest needs thinning and a small frame saw. The comparative effort and work load is so much more enjoyable than cutting many time through a large log with a larger crosscut saw, then needing to split each round into many smaller pieces. These small trees cut up super fast and...

How to set up and use an American Scythe (full tutorial)
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?
Great tutorial Josh! And the first time I actually heard you speak! Hope all's well! 😎✌️
What is the mortar used to secure the anvil to the stone?
Can someone explain me how the pendulum works ??
how long did this take
❤
Hi mate beautiful job ! A question, is the bark side the one should be burned ??
Собираю похожий стол-верстак, но без клея и стального элемента для тисков ( винта и гайки), обойтись не удалось. Респект мастеру, хорошая работа. Вы вдохновляете своим мастерством!
Thank you very much to demonstrate the full process with a scythe. Other video did not go in detail as you did. Two things I see in other demos was you are kinda pulling with left hand in the motion and push with right. Is this correct? Another is sharpening is slightly less pressure with pushing the stone then first honing on pulling. Like you said you need burr to be up to cut. Just verifying technique.
Fascinating for me. Wood and I don’t get on, have reached 50+ and am still wholly unable to saw straight. The sad thing is that I try so hard, I’ve even resorted to using mitre guides and they still come out wrong. Any other trade I can get by, but not joinery, I have a lignin autism.
I just found a vintage Derby & Ball scythe to use in my orchard. Yours is the first good video on the American scythe. Really appreciate you! Apparently sometimes the old ways are still the best...
That's how you build a society.
How "scaleable" is this technique? I would think this would work just as well on a larger footprint, say 20x30. What do you think? A friend of mine was inspired by your videos and this technique and built his cabin this way! I'm hoping to do the same, just a bit larger if I can!
Да уж, сэр. Почва у вас не самая лучшая.
Over fifty years ago a local hardware store that was selling out kept cutting prices. I believe the contents of a box of scythe stones got as low as twenty cents a piece.
Simply superb
bro do you have plans for this? a 6ft cantilever is so cool.
Simply amazing! Beautiful joinery!
in which video does he do the ceiling? ive been looking....
Nice hand forging Mr. 🙏 🌸🌺
i watched this in 4x speed

awesome blacksmith forge
Газовая горелочка!!! А что ж такое? Куда костер делся?
Hello I'm currently designing a building with the aim to use no/as little concrete and was wondering if you reckon your method of connecting the timber column to the stone foundation via a metal rid would work in a stone wall that was already made and mortared together, ie. picking out a stone along the wall and then implementing your method (In practical terms I can imagine it would be a bit of a nuisance to hold the column above the stone but in theory would the stone wall be able to support the load). Another thing I am curious about is there a specific type of stone that works best ie. metamorphic/sedimentary/igneous rock.
Sure that should work any stone is fine
awesome as always
Super❤
Boy, it's really easy to get lost in life's troubles. I asked you about your favorite saw on Instagram today, and long story short, your reply brought me back to this video. I found you a long time ago before my wife and I embarked on our homestead lifestyle, and I watched all of your videos back then. I still follow you on all platforms, but I've been disconnected for years. We're off grid now and doing well......but I have completely lost sight of what my vision was. This has brought me back to it. Iron truly does sharpen iron. Thank you, sir. Keep up the vision...
Amazing job !! 🙌 how do you estimate the burning timing?? For example if you are burning Pine, 3m long x 0.2m wide ?
Trial and error
do you know what type / brand of axe head you used?
Collins i think
Power tools are overrated. Especially when they stop working for no apparent reason. Good quality hand tools are great. Love your work. ❤
