I really enjoyed watching someone who really loves to make things usable again for their original purpose and took the time to do it right. You are truly a "Craftsman" who isn't afraid to put his name on his work. I'll be watching more of your video's. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred
It was neat watching the whole process. My favorite part was probably the stove watching you take it apart put it all back together. My husband owns his own Refractory business, so it was awesome watching you work with the fire brick. I like your videos because you show how they did back then.
As always, enjoyed watching the project take shape. Thank goodness Lavender was available to supervise and keep you on task..heh heh. Thanks for sharing.
Great job on the new stove. I am in the process of finishing a 12 x 12 dry cabin that I will eventually put a stove in. Those old pot belly stoves are getting really hard to find. You can buy new stoves but they don't have the character of the old original ones do.
I recently saw a video there's a guy somewhere in the US who restores them and has hundreds of them, just do a search and I'm sure you'll find him, they're not hard to find anyway they just cost a LOT ! they're not $300. anymore, more like 3K or more, but there's lots of them out there
You aren’t afraid of hard work obviously! A great balance of brains and brawn, sir. 😊 You have inspired us to re-do the floor under our wood burning stove😊
Wow what a great job. Granny use to have a smaller potbelly in the small house she heated the whole house with. She would fire it so where the belly would glow. When you walking in the house within a half an hour you wanted to know off the sleep. It was so toasties in there.
Thank you for the video! I have my great great grandmother’s potbelly stove and now I know what I need to get for its restoration! I’ll tell my dad and he will probably come get it and do it.
I'm sure I could have watched a lot more of this process. Loved watching the hearth building. Like your daughter, though, my stomach had the willies just watching you both near that hole!! After having built a very short rock garden edge wall, there is nothing more satisfying than placing a stone that fits perfectly next to another, like they were separated at birth! Beautiful work, as always.
Absolutely gorgeous potbelly stove. Your install was perfect in every way. I have seen many through the years. All had metallic outer rings, whether brass or chrome. None had black. Interesting.
Nice cabin. In the future can you show us the construction in the basement supporting the rock, concrete and stove? 😁Definitely going to hold and radiate the heat long after the stove goes out. Great refurb on the potbelly/parlor stove. Subscribed 😊😊😊
Hey Jerry, I completely agree with you on both points; thinking about starting something because you know how much work's gonna be involved and when it's done, it's done! You did a great job there and you get to see and enjoy the results! Nice job! From Sophia, N.C.
Thank you very much for sharing this restoration. Really a lot of hard work but a really beautiful stove. I wish you a lot of pleasure with it and hopefully it will last a few hundred years. take care.
Not only is your new stove cool, but I really like that big wooden mallet you were using as well! Very cool. And...your "stone work" continues to impress! Great job. Beautiful work brother. PS: I didn't notice you putting any steel reinforcement into your concrete pour.. I hope that doesn't come back to bite you later..
As a degreed physical education bachelor's I'd say that all your work makes you physically fit. By the way the tinkerers box is a insulated room in my garage on a slab. My unattached hose is old over 108. I don't plan on moving. So if my old hose falls apart I will be living in the tinkerers box. It is the first time I have owned a home.
I looked up automatic chisel and a similar set up found on Amazon....Short Barrel Air Hammer Kit with Quick Change Retainer and 4 Chisels. 😺Like the stone hearth floor. Wonder if u could do moulds of barrel exterior to make 3 rounded black ceramic tile pieces. - to give more radiant heat. Any excuse for a large kiln. Restored stove looks terrific. Nice style 🌭🐕☕🍁🐈
That rock floor aint goin no where😂🤣👍👍Stout to say the least. Beautiful results brother Jerry, well done. Be blessed 🙏🙏 from Idaho. I just built and installed a woodstove in my truck camper, works awesome also. 👍
He deserves tons of credit for completing an extraordinarily difficult project. However the real credit goes to his lady for letting him tear apart their home. Spray paint in the house, no way,
Beautiful stove and great work my friend has one and needs some repair this has been very helpful. Thank you. I just found your channel and subscribed. Thankyou
Q? Hey Jerry, What affect if any does having a very tall chimney have on efficiency or percentage of the gasses burned etc? Also, will that cause the gasses to cool off before exiting leaving creosote in the chimney etc?
That is a very good question. A none airtight stove like this is different than an airtight stove. These old stoves tend to get a much better complete combustion meaning burning up all the smoke. No smoke coming out the chimney. Yes, a straight tall chimney like I have helps tremendously. Now with an airtight stove that doesn’t get complete combustion you do have to be careful because it will build more creosote in the chimney.
How many 6x6 did you use to hold up the floor with all that wight with all the rocks and wood stove very well job thanks for the video God bless you and your family amen
It hard to imagine that one post beam and that flat slab of wood is holding up all that concrete a ton of stone and the pot belly wood stove and the heavy logs to burn and the chimney..was there more beam post installed for support in the basement?
Really interesting and nice stove.. no disrespect intended, but I really have to ask how all that weight is sufficiently being supported by that one timber?
Ha, didn't you just say a few videos back that you wouldn't be doing any stone work in the near future??? Great job and glad your body healed and held up.
You need to find a strong young man to apprentice with you, help with the heavy lifting and learn all the skills you have to pass along. These things are becoming a lost art.
Loved the post,,, but the redundancy of doing that is beyond belief. My box wood has been sitting on an slate slab,joined with mortar for 38 yrs,,right on the flooring.....as have countless others since cast iron stoves became normal......i have even saw sand pit boxes with a pot belly sitting there.
I liked how you brought 2000 year old technology for moving heavy objects into play. Well done.
Now that it is restored what a beautiful old stove. Thanks for sharing this video with those of us at home that love old things brought back to life.
Your very welcome
Jerry,
Another great video. Thank you for taking time to build, film, edit and post this video.
Your very welcome
Darn good job. I wish I could get a shot of the basement to see how you constructed everything to hold such weight. Always enjoy watching.
Remember the titans.
He could have been talking about my mother(inlaw). 😊
I also wonder why he used such large heavy stones? seems like a great deal of weight, wondering why he didn’t just do a flagstone hearth?
I wonder how "level" that is?? 😊
Me too, it must be a ton or more
How in the world did you accomplish all this with a badly injured shoulder!? Beautifully done! Wow
Do you believe in miracles? I do.
I really enjoyed watching someone who really loves to make things usable again for their original purpose and took the time to do it right. You are truly a "Craftsman" who isn't afraid to put his name on his work. I'll be watching more of your video's. Thanks for sharing with us. Fred
Thanks Fred!
Wow, I just love your home! A nice simple cabin...I know it was a lot of work, but man! So worth it!
That new (old) stove is beautiful! Great job fixing her up. I love the the ornate designs on that stove. Great job on the stone work too.

It takes a lot of effort to make perfection. You are doing it right.

Very nice!
It looks so good. I’m sure it will last a long time. Beautiful

Good job there buddy, it so relaxing watching other folks work. That stove should see you out! Enjoy.
Good job Jerry. Very impressive. Emily was a big help.
Thank you my friend, she was!
@@logcabinlifestyle absolutely amazing stonework Jerry.
I really enjoyed this video! You are very kind to your animals and family.
Thank you. They are part of our family.
Thank you for the video! I have my great great grandmother’s potbelly stove and now I know what I need to get for its restoration! I’ll tell my dad and he will probably come get it and do it.
That’s what dads are for!
That stove is just a thing of beauty, and what a work is going in to it. ❤
I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for taking the time to post. Great job! Take care, "Poverty Hill" Brian

I believe these were nickel plated at one time but someone painted it. I’m kinda the same. Don’t care for the flashy
@@logcabinlifestyle I get it. Looks cool.

Wonderful! It is so nice to see what you do and how you do it. A wholesome experience with a man that is working hand in hand with God. Bless you.
Thank you Brother

Great video and beautiful, old stove!! Love your channel!!

Very cool.
And...your "stone work" continues to impress! Great job. Beautiful work brother.

Good job on that stove , and AWESOME. Intro to the video my friend . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA........
Nice, I love that rocker too!
I’m so amazed with your talents God has surly blessed you
🇺🇸🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼🇺🇸 I love all your carpentry skills that you have just like St. Joseph
That stove is awesome! Love the stone work!
Really great work. What's the tool you use to split the rocks called?
I looked up automatic chisel and a similar set up found on Amazon....Short Barrel Air Hammer Kit with Quick Change Retainer and 4 Chisels.
😺Like the stone hearth floor. Wonder if u could do moulds of barrel exterior to make 3 rounded black ceramic tile pieces.
- to give more radiant heat. Any excuse for a large kiln. Restored stove looks terrific. Nice style 🌭🐕☕🍁🐈
It’s just a power hammer
That rock floor aint goin no where😂🤣👍👍Stout to say the least. Beautiful results brother Jerry, well done. Be blessed 🙏🙏 from Idaho. I just built and installed a woodstove in my truck camper, works awesome also. 👍
Thank you for showing me the definition of man God's wonderful creation. You're his master piece and that beautiful pot belly is yours ❤❤❤🦁🐑🕊
I love your home!
grts from Jerusalem!
Aww, thank you so much
Great job you are very good at your craft
If you ever want to part with that smaller one I'd be interested in putting it into my tinkerers box.
👍 AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO..LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT...GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND THE FUR BABIES 🐾🐾🙏 AND YOUR MOMMA 💕
What an ingenious gadget for lifting bricks!
Called brick tongues
Love the long-form video!
Thank you
The cat with the hammering of the floor joist really surprised me.
I would have thought you would have loaded secondary fires from the top. Can that stove do that? Beautiful stove and cabin, btw.
I’ll do another separate video of a more in-depth video on the stove. But yes it has an 8” hole in the top
Nice stuff you got there young man
He deserves tons of credit for completing an extraordinarily difficult project. However the real credit goes to his lady for letting him tear apart their home. Spray paint in the house, no way,
There is no lady to stop me. The lady in the video is my daughter who has no say in what I do.
Great video.
Good morning!!! It’s beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🌿🕊
Great job and well worth the work you put in!
Fantastic work. Also, i like the longer videos.
Great job! Thanks for the video,
Beautiful stove and great work my friend has one and needs some repair this has been very helpful. Thank you. I just found your channel and subscribed. Thankyou
Your welcome and thank you
Wish we could have seen from the basement the full support. We just went from vertical beam to concrete being spread. Cool video though.
You guys did a awesome 😎 job ❤❤❤😎😎😎😎 old school style 😊
thank you great show
Q?

Cool. Ty!
what a pair of beautiful stoves!!
Great job
Lovely stove, great work
Nice job! I think I would paint some of the cast silver.
How often do you think the barrel portion will have to be replaced? Might need a extra one for a couple years from now? Just curious.
This would have been the first time since 1896, so I’m guess by 2150 it will need done again
How many 6x6 did you use to hold up the floor with all that wight with all the rocks and wood stove very well job thanks for the video God bless you and your family amen
There 2 6x6 and the one 12x12 I dropped in the video
It hard to imagine that one post beam and that flat slab of wood is holding up all that concrete a ton of stone and the pot belly wood stove and the heavy logs to burn and the chimney..was there more beam post installed for support in the basement?
Thanks Jerry
Beautiful room.
Beautiful Video. Happy Thanksgiving.
Great vid, TY.
May YAH Bless.
She reminds me of myself when my husband asks me for help😂😂😂
great job!! from south korea.
Welcome
Was that a bird that flew by at 27:16 ? 🕊️ I really enjoyed this video,that floor is solid,well done ✝️❤️🤠
The door was open most of the day. I think it might have been a fly
@@logcabinlifestyle ,I thought it was cool,you sure have a beautiful home ,praise God ✝️❤️🤠
@ thank you, and yes he is so so good
Your cute cat sure is interested in what Dads doing down there framing,, lol
Really interesting and nice stove.. no disrespect intended, but I really have to ask how all that weight is sufficiently being supported by that one timber?
It’s also on the house foundation but that’s one big timber and honestly could probably hold 10x that weight
AWESOME!!!!
Did you have a lot of over spray to clean up? Nice use of the burn barrel
No, none at all. That paint drys very fast
@@logcabinlifestyle Cool. Excellent job on that stove
I will be putting one, in my new Tiny house. Soon.
Do you know if there's attachments for that stove for cooking? I'd like to keep it efficient energy wise and clean.
A beautiful addition to your fireplaces. And a lot of work.
Ha, didn't you just say a few videos back that you wouldn't be doing any stone work in the near future??? Great job and glad your body healed and held up.
Yes, I did! Just proof that I don’t get to call the shots
Sweet, what about the hay?
I'd like to have seen how the stones were supported.
AMAZING
Very awesome!
All that rock and cement put together must weight at lest 3000 lbs. looks good
Un saludo desde Barcelona España
Greetings
Why did you replace the Pot belly Stove with the Parlor Stove, & what happened to the Pot belly ?
How is that slab supported? By that single timber? Curious. Thanks.
It’s also sitting on the basement wall
@logcabinlifestyle thanks, I read further comments and I understand that there are 3 timbers...Great video!
very interesting and impressive.
How's your shoulder?
It’s getting better
You need to find a strong young man to apprentice with you, help with the heavy lifting and learn all the skills you have to pass along. These things are becoming a lost art.
WOW!! Did you REALLY need that much stone!? Seems like alot of over-kill, for a wood stove base!?
Maybe not need
@logcabinlifestyle I agree!
Is that a Glenwood Oak 30?
Looks good. I feel like you could of had an easier time if you painted those pieces outside instead inside 😂
Too cold and windy
on the carpet?
Yep
That stove would have the ring and the top nickel plated.
next time nail / cement 2x4s, for any timber width...
Just a bit of my parents humor.
no sound?
Every one else has sound I think 🤔
i probably would have just bought a steel plate to set it on and hope for the best.
Loved the post,,, but the redundancy of doing that is beyond belief. My box wood has been sitting on an slate slab,joined with mortar for 38 yrs,,right on the flooring.....as have countless others since cast iron stoves became normal......i have even saw sand pit boxes with a pot belly sitting there.
