I remember those days too! I live about a hour north of Louisiana in southern Arkansas and that was the way we heated our house and cooked. We heated our water for baths as well. True story when I joined the Army I was Human Resources and in our office I was lucky enough to serve with people from Cambodia, Africa, Uzbekistan, Micronesian islands and finally me from Arkansas. Those guys that I was a professor of the English language lol. They asked me to correct grammar on everything. I would tell them stories of hunting hogs, deer, squirrel, frog gigging, fishing, dove and so forth. After serving with these guys for three years my time of service came to an end but right before I got out one day I was speaking with them and naming the countries we were from and when I said U.S they asked who was from there and I said me! They didn’t know Arkansas was in the U.S and they asked why I had a accent that everyone else from U.S didn’t have and we all laughed. There are good people from around the world but we don’t usually have a chance to meet them. GOD BLESS THE USA!
We have been heating exclusively with wood for the past three winters. Been using an old steel box stove. Upgrading this year to a hearthstone. Our house is only 1200 square feet not including the full basement and has a very open layout. Only the two bedrooms and one bathroom are seperate from the main area. We are on 27 acres and every property that boarders ours has clear cut in the last couple years. I have free reign to go collect wood from tops. Being 24 years old and full of energy I've most certainly been taking advantage of that. Got about three years worth of wood stacked last year, hoping to double that this year. Theres an old farmhouse on the property with a nice wood furnace in the basement that I'm planning on putting in our basement for the dead of winter when we often see well below zero!
I grew up in a “cabin in the woods” like you referred to. We heated our house with a wood burning furnace and a wood stove. You perfectly described my upbringing. My dad always said wood heat will heat you twice-once when you cut it, and again when you burn it.
Handyman, I lost my father this year, He was a cabinet maker. I was his helper growing up, he never used a tape measure, he said measurement would always be off. He was exact. He used a 6 ft folding ruler. I love your videos. Happy Holidays handyman.
Bought my first house a couple of years ago. It's got an old oil furnace in it, and here near Seattle fuel oil is expensive enough that I essentially can't afford it on a tradesman's salary. A friend of mine brought an old Blaze King over from Wyoming and gave it to me. I've managed to heat my house through sweat and hard work ever since. Appreciated your story about growing up that way.
I miss the smell and sound of burning wood, and remember my Grand folks cooking theyre meals on a wood oven too, and the food tasted so much better. Good old times
I grew up on a farm in Md. We heated our 7 bedroom farmhouse with two wood stoves. Every weekend we went out into the woods and cut wood for the stoves. I know all about that. I miss that.
I am from montana and my parents had a wood stove in the house I grew up in. And every house I have ever owned either had or I installed a wood stove in there is nothing better. I really enjoy your videos and am planning on going out on my own doing handy work come this spring . I am a journey man plumber but have spent the last 7 years as a hard rock miner underground and want to go to work for myself. Your videos have been very inspirational thank u
I'm guessing you: 1) forgot pocket holes in the panel parts (to attach the face frame to the carcase); 2) forgot to drill shelf pin holes before assembly; or 3) due to layout errors the FF rails don't line up with the shelf/horizontal partition locations. A serious cabinet app that generates shop drawings, optimized ply cutting diagrams, accounts for joinery and tracks material/job costs would be a game changer for your cabinet production. I've used eCabinet Systems by Thermwood for over 10 years. As with any app there is a learning curve, but the software is FREE to trade pros, and it does 95% of what overpriced platforms like Cabinet Vision can do. I'm not connected with Thermwood in any way. In fact, I'll be switching to a different app when I convert to CNC production in a couple of months. But for anyone who does any volume of custom cabinets at all, the efficiencies that a dedicated cabinet design app can bring are tremendous.
Does ecabinet work only with CNC machines or can it design and give cuts for a shop that uses power tools? I looked into it just now but couldn't tell. Thanks in advance
Shannon P -- It does both. You can print cut diagrams that are "nested" for CNC, or with straight lines for saw cuts. Either way, it optimizes each sheet of plywood for the most yield. The main drawback is that, if you switch to CNC at some point, the output files are proprietary and only work with Thermwood's machines. I ended up buying a different brand of router, and had to switch to another app. Good luck!
@@shannonp4037 Yes great system, I use for cut lists, just double check the grain orientation if your using a verneared board that's going to be clear coated
I'm going to guess that you forgot to place pocket holes to attach the face frame. Been there, done that. Now I make sure to label each piece and put a mark on the edges that need pocket holes.
I heat my 1870's farm house with a wood / coal burning primary forced air furnace and have a propane forced air for a backup should I need to leave town and then AC in the summer. Propane is super expensive where I am, so it was more of a financial consideration than anything else. My little Hot Blast works great burning wood down to -20 outside. It gone down to -40 here last year and all I had to do was throw a couple bags of anthracite in there to keep the heat cranking. Works great. Saves me about $1,200 a year in propane costs.
You described my childhood in your opening comments, growing up in Ohio we had ample wood to fuel our wood burning furnace. Moved, split, stacked, and loading wood was a way of life. Funny you even used the same words, we would "load each other up" with extra wood to avoid making any additional trips outside through the snow and ice to the wood shed/pile. My dad was a real serious about how to stack wood...talks of foundations and leaning were used...if the pile fell over then you heard about it! I know I wasn't the only one to have to do that but I swear some days it really felt like it, other kids got to play video games and watch their fancy cable TV...meanwhile we were outside gulping in cold air and thinking about being inside. LoL...it wasn't a big deal though, I'm better for having going through it. I miss the radiant heat...nothing like it!
Hey Handyman, Love the vids. Dont stop there a nightly watch for me and my son. And thanks for the advise in earlyer ones. My son and I have our business up and going. Giving a big shout out to you. Thanks your one that is real on You tube
My only source of heat is a wood burning stove in a house I built 20 years ago...... it is the best heat.. and quite a bit of work feeding it at 8000' all winter... I just stoked it. Cheers!!!
@@TheHandyman1 Yes beautiful.. Southern Colorado just north of the Great Sand Dunes National Park, against the 14000 ft peaks of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains.
@@TheHandyman1 I am mostly retired at 69 but still doing some building projects... I could have used your wisdom when I started doing cabinet and carpentry work 44 years ago. Self employed no employees has afforded me a lot of freedom. I think mountains 3 to 5,000 ft would be a bit more comfortable.. It will be negative 7 tonight. This is a poor county (Saguache) with 0 stop lights in it and land is still pretty affordable.
Handyman you need to watch more homesteading videos. Arms Family Homestead, Northern Seclusion, Keeping it Dutch, Hidden Heights Farm, Off Grid with Doug and Stacy, My Self Reliance, The Boss of the Swamp! They are out there. Now maybe people who live in a city do not heat with wood stoves but the more rural settings still do!
Handyman I just saw an interesting use of the pocket screw hole maker. I follow the Homemade Home. He invests in inexpensive properties, renovates the houses and rents them out. There was an outside porch added at some point but they had not setup the flooring evenly. So he used some triangle pieces of wood to transition over the threshold. He did not want the screw heads interferring so he just used his pocket screw hole jig to secure the pieces to the older bottom wood.
My grandma had a wood stove & oven in her kitchen out on the farmhouse. Cooking on one of those things, is NOTHING like gas or electric, lol. Gotta tell ya though, smelling baking bread in one of those, or eggs & bacon frying in the cast iron pan(w/ lard & real butter) on top.....NOTHING like it😋 Go for the Kreg Foreman pocket hole system👍🏻😉 5:28 Taking the hoodie off, & having the logo shirt on....Pretty great “shot” there; & I gotta know, was it staged/planned😆. Regardless, was smooth👍🏻 Prices on the Merch store.....LIKE what I see, great job😊 Now, just need my Handyman baseball “style” 🧢 w/ adjustable clasp back & I’ll be set. L8R ✌🏼
We just put in a new wood insert. The house was built about 25-30 years ago with a masonry fireplace that was horribly inefficient. The new one heats the house very well and is honestly pretty inexpensive to run. Plus it adds to the aesthetic... haha
I have a wood burning fire place in my house!! I converted it to gas though... lol. Might convert it back since the gas does not put out much heat and you get a hissssss instead of a crackle
I was 19 when my parents bought a place in the country, it had a wood burning heater to heat the house. I spent the next three years going there on weekends to cut down trees, split and cut firewood to 18" so it would fit into their heater since my father drove over the road and my Mom had COPD and Emphysema. I lived there the first winter because I lost my job and man it would get cold when that fire went out, but it would definitely get hot, we too had some old break rotors and a piece of railroad track on top of it, for the mass, I LOL'd when I seen that for the first time in your shop and knew exactly what they are for, right after they had moved in and ran the heater, they had taken those ugly things off and it got extra cold that night, we put them back on and it started heating better that night. Thank You for these Great videos!
Mistake #1 drinking green tea latte without a man bun. Mistake#2 that i'm no longer watching the #1 handyman channel in the world. I should've gotten a memo first. :)
Looking to buy a house, and one pre req is to have a wood stove. We have a lot of houses here in Michigan with them (mainly in the country). If you have the property with some woods, it’s almost free heat. Definitely cheaper than propane or natural gas.
I would like to update my kitchen, but not sure (yet) if custom wood is affordable for me, what is the options for the "next level" under custom? I don't want to go Ikea and what is in my kitchen now is vinyl-wrapped crap installed by the builder.
When the electricity goes out.. alot of ppl will freeze to death, then a bunch will die of diarhea because they cant purify water, then a month later a bunch more will starve. Everyone should stay up on classic skills needed to survive.
My father installed a wood burning fireplace in the home in Orange County I grew up in. Probably the only home within 3 cities with one. After he sold it in the early 2000's, the new owner ripped it out first thing.
Why you have Dodge Ram brake rotors on your stove, guy? LOL Your right, my house was built in 1979 it has a wood burning fireplace but it was converted over to gas at some point in time. We barely ever use the thing, mostly in the fall when I don't want to turn the furnace on yet. Considering they both burn natural gas I doubt I am saving anything by doing that. The nice part of the fireplace is when you turn it off the bricks will give off heat till morning.
it looks like the mistake is that the shelf sits above the face frame in middle shelf. how do you attach the face frames on your cabinets? do you use pocket screws?
It does look good! 👍 Guessing, maybe the top portion of the frame should be separate from the half/bottom section of framework? Or vice-versa? Or maybe not glue the rails & stiles together just yet? For some reason. IDK. Hm... 🤔 The 70's oil embargo forced my parents to install a wood burning stove. We had a small house so the dining room was sacrificed as the central heating location. My dad was a mason & did the brickwork. Unfortunately the concrete pad was very wide, by code, & took up half the floor space. So my mom built some small furniture pieces so all of us could sit by the fire. It was nice. She also finished them with stain made from black walnuts we peeled. (Which looks like HM's green goo! 😝) Things were different then & common practice, true. You did what you had to do, first. Anything else was considered a luxury & saved for later.)
I've searched for a video, but, am curious to your recommendation on how to handle a customer who, changes their mind, which causes delays for a sub contractor (whom they were working with, then I took over as POC), then blames completion date on you. HELP, any advice would be great!
This is the first time you've ever honestly triggered me. I thought this was my safe space. Nope. Turns out you just brought out my PTSD from all those cords. Cords on cords on cords. Just me and my friend Maul. 😭😭
That's funny my dad put a stove in our basement.....it was the first thing I pulled out when I bought the house from him 30 years ago...lol.....wish I had it again now!!
i always found it difficult to use an impact to get those pocket screws in. a drill with a properly set chuck is a no-brainer as it prevents it from coming out the face. perhaps i'm too aggressive with the impact.
Unrelated question but have you ever worked on st Simons island GA or Sea Island GA.? I remember seeing a truck like the silver dodge you had with the abominable snowman on the side. I'm sure it was more likely somebody else but it seems to be your type of area especially with a marina there. Just been wondering
I think yur being to hard on yourself by calling it a mistake. On custom cabinets ripping down after the fact is a great way to fine tune your precision especially if working in super tight constraints with adjacent cabinets. Keep up the quality content.
Mistake 1 You forgot to drill pocket holes in the sides of the cabinets to attach your face frame. Mistake 2 you didn’t start the video by saying this is the number 1 home improvement channel in the world!😂
Kreg K5. No don't bother, it's a bit like buying a new Iphone just cause they changed the coulor. How long have Kreg been building these, I think my oldest one must be approaching 30 years, so you would of thought they would have got it right by know!!!! $180 for a load of plastic is way to much, anyway, I expect to see the new Kreg 6 out soon lol
I burn this year we burned beginning in October and were still burning. Nkw i just light a fire in the morning to get the chill out. I talk to buddies and i cant believe how much they spend a year on oil/gas/ propane
Yeah, I bought a set of foam rubber nunchucks at the Ky state fair one year. Hit my sister in the face with them. My old man beat my ass with them so bad I still get shook when I see a pair...
Mistake #1 is not tell us "this is #1 home improvement UA-cam....IN the world"
He slipped to #2
It’s say shelf pin holes or drawer slides and account for the oven trim surround/ shelf thickness on the face frame.

Wood or pellet stoves are extremely common in rural New England, most of the people i know have one and use it at least some of the time.
I don't know how but I KNEW you were going to have whistling
Oh no no no! No way the number UA-cam channel in the world made a MISTAKE 😳! 😂!
Where you get the green tea lattee
Green tea latte was your #1 mistake. Next thing you know we'll be watching HANDYMAN YOGA!
Handyman Goat Yoga on the work bench.
See the new HANDYMAN collection at Lululemon!
You should buy the new Kreg k5. Let us know if it’s worth the money.
He has an assistant under the table to wipe the glue from his fingers ingenius.
That was funny. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Unrelated question but have you ever worked on st Simons island GA or Sea Island GA.? I remember seeing a truck like the silver dodge you had with the abominable snowman on the side. I'm sure it was more likely somebody else but it seems to be your type of area especially with a marina there. Just been wondering
I had number 17 of 50 of those trucks. That is Miles the Monster on the side. It wasn't me.
@@TheHandyman1 Very cool info
No pocket holes drilled to attach the face frame... not sure of the other one.
You have a good eye.
Face frame rails not at shelf height?
Is one of the mistakes that you used wider stiles than the 1.5" that you used on all the other cabs?
Yes I was supposed to rip them down before putting it together.
I think yur being to hard on yourself by calling it a mistake. On custom cabinets ripping down after the fact is a great way to fine tune your precision especially if working in super tight constraints with adjacent cabinets. Keep up the quality content.
Those are easy fixes just need a table saw and a Kreg jig R3.
Mistake 1 You forgot to drill pocket holes in the sides of the cabinets to attach your face frame. Mistake 2 you didn’t start the video by saying this is the number 1 home improvement channel in the world!😂
Kreg K5. No don't bother, it's a bit like buying a new Iphone just cause they changed the coulor. How long have Kreg been building these, I think my oldest one must be approaching 30 years, so you would of thought they would have got it right by know!!!! $180 for a load of plastic is way to much, anyway, I expect to see the new Kreg 6 out soon lol
I like you're splitting maul miter saw stop
LOL.... You grunt like an old man there at the end.
We mountain fokes have wood burning stoves and or wood burning fire places, if you want one you just put it in.
Are you old enough to remember Harrigan TV show? That's what you are whistling.
I burn this year we burned beginning in October and were still burning. Nkw i just light a fire in the morning to get the chill out. I talk to buddies and i cant believe how much they spend a year on oil/gas/ propane
What? Didn’t have time to share your recipe for the latte?
Green tea latte is such a big mistake it counts as 2...
Are you not the leading home improvement channel any longer?!
Yeah, I bought a set of foam rubber nunchucks at the Ky state fair one year. Hit my sister in the face with them. My old man beat my ass with them so bad I still get shook when I see a pair...
Most whistling of any video to date. #whistlewhileyouwork
First time I have seen a stove hearth made of kindling.
LOL. That make me laugh.
i use a pellet stove to heat my house in santa fe, nm. If it is real cond i fire up the smaller one at the other end of the house.
Did you say wheel barrel?
First mistake is that green tea.
Second mistake is the Face frame not lining up with shelf ?
That's what I saw immediately. I agree face frame not lining up with that shelf he was sitting on. I couldn't figure out the second mistake.
Nope.
never saw you check the frame for squareness, measure corner to corner and such.
Sure didn't. It isn't adjustable.
Forgot to drill the pocket holes for the face frame
That's one of them.
You went off of you original measurements vs. going off of the cabinet's ever so slightly different measurement. What do I win? :)
11:01 it's a cover up!
I’d saw you didn’t check your measurement free you clamped your right tolerance spacing rail.
Was that the theme song from The Brady Bunch you were whistling?
Mistake #1 Drinking Latte... Throw latte out, Grab a Beer. #2 You didn't Sand before Building Frame??
Got to get that music used for the fast forward section of the video.
3rd!
Mistake #1: Green Tea Latte. #2: No visible use of Grey Poupon.
Top half bigger than the bottom, according to your diagram..
Lmao.. I live in Nova scotia canada... and lots of us use wood stoves to heat our homes
