For everyone who wants plans, I would recommend this site, free detailed plans for many many stoves of various sizes, some even small enough to go on a strong wooden floor... eng.stove.ru/products/otopitelno_varochnyie_pechi_ovik/ovik The stove from this video is a very similar design to one built by FireSpeaking, called the "cabin stove" though I don't think they offer plans anymore...
Thank you for this. Without speaking Russian, it has been a bit difficult to find which of the ovik models are the ones small enough for a wooden floor.
as a bricklayer these old methods of mortar /clay slurry/and insulation etc are interesting , Remember guys you have the option of 10% lime mixed with building sand and water to make lime mprtar(instead of cement mortar) if you live in a built up area and dont have access to clay to make slurry and wish to practice your brick bonds and building walls or stove projects like this and repeat until you get it right.. When your work is finished you can crit it and when youre ready to try again just pull it down the next day and brush the bricks dry and wash bricks clean in bucket of water . You can then repeat and practice til youre satisfied with your brickwork project. IMPORTANT don't leave project for longer than 3 weeks or it will set hard and cure as cement and bricks. NB. this doesn't apply to slurry insulation. this is a very clean practical way to practice brickwork in your garden or patio. using the same sand and lime repeatedly. jiust break the project down on completion then use a hard scrubbing brush and separate sand and bricks into two clean piles. enjoy
The garage at our farm was broken into two nights ago and all the tools that belonged to my grandfather were stolen. For some reason watching you work in this video gives me peace. You make me think of what he might have been when he was a young man. Thank you.
For anyone wondering about the design. (It is not clear to most people who don't have experience in building these.) The flames and gasses rise up in the firebox and hit the cooktop "ceiling." They are then pulled to "our right" over the small brick wall laping across more of the iron cooktop. (This can be seen when he lifts up part of the cooktop.) The gasses move down the thin channel on the right of the firebox and actually pass under the firebox. So, in summary, the flame/ gasses go up, (hit cooktop,) then "right," under the cooktop, then straight down, then " turn left to go under the firebox," then up to chimney and out of the house. The most important thing in making this stove is the "damper" inside the main firebox that allows the flame and hot gasses to move directly into the chimney for the first 10 minutes when the "system is cold." Once the chimney is hot, the damper on the left of the firebox can be closed and there will be "enough pull" in the system to pull the gasses up and over the brick wall now "to the right," and then down, and then left under the firebox, and then out. Without this ability to "heat everything up" FIRST, a stove that asks the gasses to "do straight down" will smoke your house out and be unusable.
Mr. Chickadee never fails to impress. If the year was 1840 and we were settling the land I would pick this guy to be on my team. Amazing to watch a video without rambling or clickbait in 2019.
quiet .. in 1800 we are returning .. 😁😱 thanks to all the bastards in the government .. who squander on weapons and give a damn about middle and lower class citizens.
Sir, you made your own concrete out of clay dirt, haven't seen that process since I was a child in the coal fields of West Virginia. Thanks for taking me back.
It might take that thing a bit to get warmed up on a cold morning but once it does, I'll bet that sweet baby can throw the heat! My father built a large scale version of this in the basement of our house! I'm sure you were glad for yours last winter! Thanks for the fun video!
Hey mr chickadee If I’m not mistaken I subscribed 4 years ago, I’m 14 now, and that’s when I learned carpentry. I started making a guitar pic with just an old knife and sand paper. Now, I specialise myself in carving. I really thank you for these videos that you’ve posted. These were one of the sources of my inspiration. God bless!!
Salvador Elmer Cabotage III. Way to go, young man! As we've just seen from Mr Chickadee, making things is something people were "made to do!". And some people are 'master Craftsman'; the stuff they make serves their House well for years. Sounds like you're growing into that mastery, too. Keep having fun with it! Rick Bonner, Pennsyltucky
@Salvador Elmer Cabotage III: Son, I'm so proud of you for wanting to give back to the person who gave to you. That's an extremely rare and valuable trait to have. You're extremely special! Don't ever change. You will contribute tremendously to the world.
Salvador Elmer Cabotage III Young Man, you have taken a large step into a great big world in what you wrote. Learning by doing is quickly becoming a lost art, but you have decided to do just that and most importantly you thanked the person that inspired you. I know by experience that you will be successful in every thing you do. The measure of a Man is how he continues to learn from everything he does.
I just want to say how much i appreciate this channel, I spent 3 yrs in Japan building 2x4 western style homes in the 90's, I have always wanted to go back and see how the Japanese built their traditional homes from start to finish. I was able to view different homes being built the traditional way as a passerby to and from the train station on the way to work, but none to this level of detail and exact precision that the Japanese master carpenters exhibit on a daily basis. Thank you Mr Chickadee for showing us your passion.... hope you keep it going.
Love the raw noise of these videos, im an old chick, that tends to work alone on projects like this, (because no one nowadays wants to work this hard or creatively), so im often alone working. What do us-kind talk about at social gatherings? This kind of stuff. Very few get it. We are loners. We are willing to try and fail. We are designers. We use what God has provided. Totally foreign to those that want to flip on a light and watch the tv. I hope to be doing this until the day i go home!!
Great video my son was in the peace corp in Paraguay and on a three week visit my wife and I got to help him help rural folks make fagones(cook stoves) We used clay. sand and cow manure as mortar. The cow manure made the motar really sticky and helped prevent cracking. We used unfired clay bricks and constructed it a lot like yours. We made the chimney bigger and taller so we could put in an oven box. He revisited his site 6 years later and the stoves he helped build still worked fine, Did you ever look at my you tube on building my log cabin? log cabin building-tour Your work is much more refined Love your work Dave
Very cool. Preserving skills that are being lost is so important. I was halfway expecting you to start making bricks when you started digging & sifting that clay! 😄
I love the detail you put into every motion of your craft. One thing I have learned, wet your bricks in a bucket before mortaring. You might have done so, I couldn't tell from the video. Really impressed with your knowledge at a young age, you have taught me quite a lot! I have been in the historic restoration trade for many years in New England. I know my trade through the love of the craft. I am fortunate enough to be able to do quality work. I particularly like the charred siding
I love it. He knew right where to dig to find that clay! That would be a very nice way to keep a greenhouse warm, too, if you live in an area and need to keep the plants from freezing, too.
Before I even watch this Mr. Chickadee, you gotta know that we have some sort of ethereal connection goin'. First thing this morning all over my yard were Chickadees. One even hanging on to a towel I set out on the porch to dry. Now all of a sudden your new video appears. Synchronicity, perhaps? Connectivity, for sure.
I remember watching these kinds of videos when I was younger, and just being so fascinated. It feels nostalgic to watch this video, even tho it's only one year old
7600 views with only seven hundred or so likes. What’s not to love about this much less like. I have also been watching Self Build in Japan. Similar in video technique and letting the work speak for itself. Thank you for sharing your beautiful workmanship. From the high plains of Texas.
I'm looking at the 71 thumbs down that he got, and as I scroll through the comments I noticed that nobody had the backbone to leave a negative comment. Makes me wonder why these people even bother watching videos, so much negativity in the world nowadays!
I love videos like this. I learn so much. And, it was very relaxing to watch. I really liked it without background music or a lot of talking and stuff. Just the soothing sounds of you methodically working works very well for me. I merrily subscribed.
Mr. Chickadee, I find your videos highly entertaining and inspirational. I wish my HOA wasn't so rabid-- we can't even lay a paving stone in the backyard without approval.
Making the fire gases go up, over, down, over again, and then up the chimney will certainly make the most of the heat but I'm sure that smokes the place up until everything gets heated properly. Clever and nicely made.
With masonry heaters when firing up a cold unit it's common to use an access hatch to build a tiny fire inside under the chimney, just a little paper and wood, this gets some draw action going so when you start the fire in the firebox you don't smoke out the cabin. Once these kinds of units warm up they stay warm for hours and hours after the fire is out, as long as you don't let it completely cool down between burns it should be fine to light your next burn in the firebox.
If I ever build myself a cottage, cabin, or a new, bigger homestead farmhouse, I'm putting in a masonry heater, or a couple, depending on the house layout... I can skimp elsewhere and have a kitchen built out of pallets, but I won't skimp on proper heating like the stuff I grew up with. When I immigrated to the United States, I used to think people's firewood piles were a 10 YEAR supply, because I was used to these things that only need 2-3 cords per year to heat up the house, rather than 20+ cords. The cost savings are considerable, if spread out over the lifespan of the heater, but all I ever hear from Americans is "rocket mass, rocket mass, rocket mass..."
Very slick, that definitely deserves a sub. Lots of lake and hunting camps here in northern Maine that this rig would be perfect for. I’ll build one next spring at mine. Thanks!
I really like this. The time you spent building something useful and sharing is inspiring. I hope to find the bricks soon for this looks like fun, maybe if only for a week. Thanks.
Feed the fire with controlled outside air and not let it steal what the brick is heating! And a pot of water boiling to keep your sinuses from cracking open! LOL
Yea i'd love to see a video that explains the design principles and incorporates advanced design features like outside air intake with a wood gas combustion feature like wood stove fireplace inserts have.
There are at least two combustion chambers which I assume will create a secondary combustion chamber once it's good and hot. As for outside air, it's not so important with this style of stove since it's also using a large amount of mass to retain as much heat as possible, from a very small initial combustion chamber, ie small wood fire, huge fireplace. At least that's how I see it, and I know it's a Russian fireplace, and that's what they do.
At first, I thought you were making the actual bricks yourself because I saw your video that showed you sawing the tree and making the bed with hand tools. I figured you had some secret knowledge and could do it! I have confidence that you could have! :)
Dear Mr. Chickadee. Simply fantastic again and as always! Additionally I love the fact that you used used bricks and iron parts from an old oven. Thanks a lot for making taping editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck and health.

I recently watched a video of guy in rural Russia, showing one of this giant stove
Amazing.
There's a lot of plans there. I can't figure out which one you used.

awesome advice

So sorry about your loss. Try not to get it down, there are a lot more good people out there than a few of these morons. All the best
I love this. No dialogue and especially No Music!
Right?! 👍👍👍👍👍😁👌
I agree 💯 %.
Just the sound of tools and work
Especially no music! Right!

Oh yeah he is the best. I would still take this style of building today over the shit they permit at the county office
Sir, you made your own concrete out of clay dirt, haven't seen that process since I was a child in the coal fields of West Virginia. Thanks for taking me back.
Alfred L Early jr hey Alfred, just wanted to ask if that was a strong product, and does it last?
Regards
Mortar is what he made.
It looks like he made clay slip and then mixed it with perlite, to make an insulating base so the heat of the stove didn't burn out his floor.
God Bless you Mr Early.
Fellow West Virginia here too Mr. Early, my grandfather was a coalminer, what part did you come from ? My people were from down near Herndon .
It might take that thing a bit to get warmed up on a cold morning but once it does, I'll bet that sweet baby can throw the heat! My father built a large scale version of this in the basement of our house! I'm sure you were glad for yours last winter! Thanks for the fun video!
Wish there were more UA-cam’s like Mr. Chickadee’s. I echo all the other kudos for a vid well done.

This is what the people from Texas needed in February, 2021. Beautiful build.
Why do you not have 1 mil subs. I can watch your videos for hours and not realize it. Perfect content . . . Clearly letting his work speak for itself.
Very interesting and relaxing video. Thank you for not adding music!!
Beautiful. Love the quiet--just the sounds of a man at work and happy about it.

Nice little heater, resourceful work, thanks for the link.

For me, your films are a combination of work and meditation!
I love it. He knew right where to dig to find that clay! That would be a very nice way to keep a greenhouse warm, too, if you live in an area and need to keep the plants from freezing, too.
What ! Type of Plants ! Are you Referring Too !?
He didn’t want to show you the video of him digging holes all over his lawn looking for clay!
@@jackvillan5151 why would he need to dig al over, he already knows the area
Thank you for blessing all of us with the honor to watch you work.

That clay slurry mortar looks like a far nicer consistency than the sand/cement mortar I'm used to: sticks to bricks beautifully
Thanks for sharing the brilliant Site for stove plans .

Nice work.and all the costruction work,lost art in woodworking by hand no power tools.. love it.
love it. Takes me way way way back. If I could only tell the stories.
Nice work. I really appreciate these old designs. I hope the masonry heater works to your satisfaction. Looks like a proven design. Best wishes, Erik.

Amazing, and you did it all without waking the kids! Thank you - very oddly satisfying.

Really like this and looking forward to building one in the future in another Small Cabin Living Project. Thanks for sharing..

So inspiring. Thank you, again, Mr. Chickadee!
How sweet that you took the time to show how❤️❤️❤️🙏
It's really nice to see you at it again,l missed your short films
Liked the stove/heater very much. It was different from other people's I've seen.
vary nice this video changed my plans for my shop thanks
Muy bueno !!!! Saludos desde Uruguay !!! 👍🇺🇾
Looks really cosy and warm.
Very innovative., resourceful. You have in direct heat and direct. Great video.
Making the fire gases go up, over, down, over again, and then up the chimney will certainly make the most of the heat but I'm sure that smokes the place up until everything gets heated properly. Clever and nicely made.
nah, just put a small fan in a window facing in. Instant autodraft.
With masonry heaters when firing up a cold unit it's common to use an access hatch to build a tiny fire inside under the chimney, just a little paper and wood, this gets some draw action going so when you start the fire in the firebox you don't smoke out the cabin. Once these kinds of units warm up they stay warm for hours and hours after the fire is out, as long as you don't let it completely cool down between burns it should be fine to light your next burn in the firebox.
There's rocket-mass heater; then there's mass heater; this is the latter! Still heats up, and stays warm a long time!!Good show!
If I ever build myself a cottage, cabin, or a new, bigger homestead farmhouse, I'm putting in a masonry heater, or a couple, depending on the house layout... I can skimp elsewhere and have a kitchen built out of pallets, but I won't skimp on proper heating like the stuff I grew up with. When I immigrated to the United States, I used to think people's firewood piles were a 10 YEAR supply, because I was used to these things that only need 2-3 cords per year to heat up the house, rather than 20+ cords. The cost savings are considerable, if spread out over the lifespan of the heater, but all I ever hear from Americans is "rocket mass, rocket mass, rocket mass..."
The silence was deafening. Liked it.
this is really good, i learned things here
I Am always learning new things.
The whole recipe is splendid 😋✨😍
Absolutely awesome craftsmanship
Good job. Thanks from Madrid, Spain
You make some pretty cool things
Excellent craftsmanship
This reminds me to go to the feed store and buy some large rubber containers and a sifter for preps...
That's awesome thx for the video I was just thinking of buying a wood stove but this is way more awesome thx man
No problem 👍
Beautiful workmanship as usual. Australia
Ola amigão. Ficou show seu fogão. Admiro muito suas abilidades. Ja aprendi varias tecnicas com vc. Abraço
I really wanted to say something sarcastic about this video. It seems this guys pretty legit
Very slick, that definitely deserves a sub. Lots of lake and hunting camps here in northern Maine that this rig would be perfect for. I’ll build one next spring at mine. Thanks!

Any time I see you've posted a new video I can't concentrate on anything else until I watch it :-D
