I cannot understand how 28 people had disliked? - by the time I watched- This is one of the most enjoyable channels on UA-cam with every episode being more enjoyable than the last... simply awesome. Love.
Reminds me of a farm in the very north of Namibia which I had the privilege to visit around 1975. Everything in that very nice farm house was made by hand. Every hinge or door lock or bolt, every brick or roof beam........
I love watching these type of building videos and then reading the comments. People can’t not give advice on how they do or would do something, especially after the task is already done. Fellas, it seems he’s got it under control and doesn’t need advise.
Encore une fois notre ami Mr. Chickadee m'étonne pas l'étendue de ses compétences en matière technique pour réaliser tout ce qu'il entreprend. Une seule technique me fait réagir : la technique du bois brûlé, que je n'approuve pas en matière esthétique. Le traitement aux huiles me paraît plus approprié pour conserver la beauté de la texture des bois. Mais ceci n'est qu'une question de goût. Merci Mr. Chickadee.
You can learn a lot when nothing is said. Watch, learn. I respect your passion for creating your own home by yourself. Your wife is an amazing woman. Peaceful place to live. God bless your family.🙏
This guy is perhaps the best craftsman I have ever seen. His tools and techniques are just awesome. And he's focused on what he's doing rather than blabbing about it. Very humbling to watch and a pleasure to learn from
Im always amaze in every video of yours..the hardwork..the patience..the art..techniques..you inspired us my dad to do what youve done in your videos..soon will rise a house inspired by you the timber framing..timber is not usial here in philippines but we will show them how beautiful timber frame house is..fan from philippines
That is a beautiful blacksmith shop ,yes I said beautiful because I love working with wood as well as blacksmithing, thanks for the video and the amazing ideas for my own shop
I’m almost speechless That is some of the most amazing work I have ever seen. You my friend are hands down the most talented man I know. I hope you feel proud of what you have accomplished. Just amazing Josh Take Care Tim
Back in early colonial era nails were so hard to come by. They would burn the old buildings, sift thru the ashes and collect the nails. One of the reasons their are not many buildings from that time. The only nails un-reusable were the door nails which were clinched over. Hence the term "dead as door nail".
It's a nice video, but watching this brought back all the unpleasant memories of doing carpentry as a kid, I was so happy when cordless and pneumatic power tools became available! Nice touch with the handmade nails, though handmade screws might have been pretty impressive too! Nice work!
Enjoyed the video Josh. Beautiful Smithshop doors and hardware. Really like the longhorn door latch, hinges and the hand forged nails. Y'all take care and God bless.
Yup, now he just needs to make his version of a blacksmiths sign to hang outside of the forge/shop. I don't know, maybe a [crossed tongs and hammer over an anvil, with CHICKADEE above, and FORGE below?] I'd love to see him craft the sign for both it and the CARPENTER'S SHOP.
How fun was that!?!? Those bent over nails add so much in detail and adds age, nice! It’s good to see you so motivated brother, it’s showing! Seriously, what’s not to like?The entrance came together nicely... 👍🏼👍🏼 from this guy
As a life long woodworker not learning the way of the blacksmith is a regret there is a lot of beauty in that art. Also just a small observation I thought for sure you were going to clinch those nails.
makes me want to forge even more, very impressive. design of long bar and the bull stay is so simple and executed flawlessly. like the practicality and functionality of the bent nail fastening, that doors not coming apart.
Always completely in awe. Love all your work. It is great when the camera can really catch the material movement with each hammer strike. Wish more Smith's could capture it.
Dear Mr. Chickadee. A simply fantastic video again and as always! The hardware is looking and working really fantastic. Or let me better say extremely impressive! Thanks a lot for making teaching recording editing uploading and sharing. Best regards luck health and wisdom.
A very good job again! Nice to follow and learn about everything you showed us also. Admire your ambidextrous skills (i am ambidexter myself) keep on the handicrafts/craftwork!
Beautiful to watch. I live in a timber frame house, 600 years old. It would have been built with the tools and techniques you use. Lovely to see traditional skills in action.
Absolutely beautiful work. I came across this channel when you were first setting the stone foundation for that building, and I had no idea what I was getting into.
Going back and watching all of the videos from the beginning can be hazardous to the other parts of your life. You may not sleep, go to work, talk to your family, etc... until you're all caught up. You have been warned. Time flys when watching the Chickadee Master at work. I suggest starting after work on a Friday (if you have a three-four day weekend), then at least you might make it back to work as expected.
Another great video, Mr C. I envy you your talent at climbing the learning curve of a new skill. Also, I am continually awed by the importance of the triangle in any structure’s integrity.
Since the question regarding charring does not seem to be addressed, I offer this: Charring is an ancient practice that serves a purpose. In Japanese building, charring wood surfaces is known as shou-sugi-ban; this technique is valued because it wraps up wood in a layer of carbon that's highly resistant to mold, insects, water and even fire. It also creates a powerful visual effect. Very fine smithing craftsmanship, as well. Best wishes from Kauai.
I love your dedication to the craft, thank you for many enjoyable hours of learning. I think you do need a larger hammer, just a suggestion. you are an inspiration!
Very nice. I thought you were going to 'clinch' the nails instead of bending them over on the back side. Doesn't matter in the end, it still looks very nice, especially the 'Bull's Head'.
Yeah, that's what I've heard it called, clinching the nails. I asked about this in my comment. My antique L&N pump cart house (shed/shop, now) has clenched nails holding the door together.
Nice work was just wondering my Grandfather would always put a small bend on the end of the nail once driven through so when bent over it would hide the point into the wood. I assume it was just his personal touch. Very enjoyable content 👍
7:10 I've got this 2lb+ framing hammer. When I watch you drive nails with that finish hammer, I get really tense. Funny how muscle memory can do that. I drive a 3 to 4 inch spike in about three strikes, some times two when I'm particularly accurate that day and I've got the room to swing it high.
@@Maxid1 I was just joking, anyway, yeah Ive got three or four framing hammers floating around, but normally just grab what is close to hand, which often turns out to be this little finish hammer. ;)
@@MrChickadee I've only seen you hit off the mark once and start to bend a nail. How brittle or soft are the nails you made? Compared to modern factory nails.
Lovely work one more time :) Just that I couldn't help myself think that windows on the doors would be very good, as now it gets darker inside and you'll have more sunlight while blacksmithing. You can still do it later, just opening square holes on the doors and attach glass.
A darker forge is better to read the color of the heat of your material. Plus, the gables on either end are still open, thus far. Edit: Although, the darker forge building is rough for video-ing.
I love that the only moment he allowed himself nails on the building is after he made them himself.

Who makes their own hardware. This guy does. A real man's man. Holy crap I'm impressed

Man tries to burn down cabin and fails. Then sprays it with oil and gives up.
Awesome to watch as usual.
That was my take on it, as well !!! 😁

holy shit, i think I found my new favorite Mr. Chickadee video
I might actually say this on just about every video!
You, sir, are an American treasure, and one of my personal heroes. That you can do all that you do is truly inspiring.
A video from you and hand tool rescue today! Truly a good day.
Love the decorative door hinges and the long horned bull door latch. The bull horned latch just tops it off, the perfect finishing touch!!
Труд в каждом движении . Теперь понятно почему от «старых» вещей исходила сила . Спасибо мастеру за его работу . )
I find your videos very becalming and interesting to see. The craftmanship, the simplicity, the atmosphere -- love it!
This is not a building, this is art.
The Art of Hand Building
Coming from a thirty plus year carpenter,my hats off to you. Thanks I enjoy your videos.
Im always amaze in every video of yours..the hardwork..the patience..the art..techniques..you inspired us my dad to do what youve done in your videos..soon will rise a house inspired by you the timber framing..timber is not usial here in philippines but we will show them how beautiful timber frame house is..fan from philippines
Kaya mo iyan! Walang bagay na hindi mo kayang gawin pag magkasama isang tatay at anak. Inspiration din si Mr. Chickadee sa akin 👍🙌
A pleasant surprise! Makes my evening for a Mr Chickadee video to pop up. Thank you for another great job. Yours truly, Robert.
Man you really gotta do a video on the traditional wooden video camera and computer. This is wild. You blow me away sometimes.
Beautiful work. Love the hardware. Way to go Mr. Chickadee. Blacksmith shop anyone would love to work in. 👍
It's like watching Michaelangelo at work. I am in awe of the craftsmanship.
That is a beautiful blacksmith shop ,yes I said beautiful because I love working with wood as well as blacksmithing, thanks for the video and the amazing ideas for my own shop
Hand forged nails? Nice. Hand forged hinges? Super cool. Hammering with a store bought hammer? hmmmmm. LOL This is looking sweet! Very cool project!
this channel just keeps getting better
I’m almost speechless
That is some of the most amazing work I have ever seen. You my friend are hands down the most talented man I know.
I hope you feel proud of what you have accomplished.
Just amazing Josh
Take Care

Hello Josh, you’re doing a great job in the Smithy already. Looks great around there for sure. Thanks for sharing with us!

What a awesome longhorn you forged
Nice job! You brought back the memory of my making a dutch door for the workshop my dad made.
JIM
Very nice work.
Wow!! So awesome. Your drive is inspiring
Beautiful work as always
Totally insane!!! It’s art, not just a building.
Hence the term..."Dead as a door nail" Great video
Enjoyed the video Josh. Beautiful Smithshop doors and hardware. Really like the longhorn door latch, hinges and the hand forged nails. Y'all take care and God bless.
The work you do is unbelievable. A true modern day primitive craftsman master.
Utterly brilliant and utterly beautiful. Love the little bull's head. That just finished the entire look.
Yup, now he just needs to make his version of a blacksmiths sign to hang outside of the forge/shop. I don't know, maybe a [crossed tongs and hammer over an anvil, with CHICKADEE above, and FORGE below?] I'd love to see him craft the sign for both it and the CARPENTER'S SHOP.

Your shop is looking very cool Mr. C, Thank you.
I like your work Mr. Chickadee. It is good.
I tore down a old barn in Tennessee that had all the nails bent over. You talk about a real pain to take apart!
Another wonderful job.
As a life long woodworker not learning the way of the blacksmith is a regret there is a lot of beauty in that art. Also just a small observation I thought for sure you were going to clinch those nails.
Done both ways, I prefer this for serviceability
@@MrChickadee Good Point!
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship
Love the bull head catch. The shop is really coming along.
It is the life I dreamed of. So beautiful and cool ~!
Love the clinching technique, those doors will last forever. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
makes me want to forge even more, very impressive. design of long bar and the bull stay is so simple and executed flawlessly. like the practicality and functionality of the bent nail fastening, that doors not coming apart.
Beautiful work and final product!
Great work Mr. Chickadee!!😎🥇🏅 This looks fabulous!
Always completely in awe. Love all your work.

Nice job
I have no interest in doing blacksmithing but I love watching you do it, also building the farm like you do. It's great stay safe.
Love the longhorn! Great job buddy!
Great job but the lighting on some of the video was dark and hard to see
Great work as always...just stunning. I love the long horn bull hook...that's the best part...haha.
Nice job . I especially love the blacksmith part of it
Watching channels like yours has inspired me to expand my horizons with woodworking. I don't have the patience to only use hand tools though.
A very good job again! Nice to follow and learn about everything you showed us also. Admire your ambidextrous skills (i am ambidexter myself) keep on the handicrafts/craftwork!
Thank you good sir for the video......great work!
Excellent job as always.

I'm really impressed with your skills and determination with what you do. Amazing craftsmanship. Great job!
Another great video, Mr C. I envy you your talent at climbing the learning curve of a new skill.
Also, I am continually awed by the importance of the triangle in any structure’s integrity.
Looking forward to the moment when the upper half of the wall changes to a more grey color. Gonna fit nicely with that Shou Sugi Ban texture.
I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY, WHAT A CRAFTSMAN
Love your talent. and your shop.
Great design and craftsmanship!
Just awesome work. What a beautiful latch for the door too. I thought you were going to hang your coat on it, right until the end.
So did I. A beautiful hook if you want it to be one.
Lol, ....
Nail game is on point!
I do a lot of hammering. I am years behind his skill level. rock on brother!
Talk about a jack of all trades...
Beautiful work. And the little mischievous imp in me is gleefully rubbing their hands.
Beautiful as usual. Keep it up. I am still waiting for the wheelbarrow video.
OMG, that Longhorn was ADORABLE! Great work, as always!

Man you are a genius
17:41 Truly, on the horns of a doorlemma...
Brilliant craftmañship as usual. Lovely work. From your biggest longest fan from Australia ❤️
Great job! You learn fast!
that was awesome man. true work of art.
Ah, a man of culture i see. Knowing the value of the coveted tan fleece cap.
Beautiful work!
Nice work was just wondering my Grandfather would always put a small bend on the end of the nail once driven through so when bent over it would hide the point into the wood. I assume it was just his personal touch. Very enjoyable content 👍
