Episode 96 Stove surround
With the base finished, it's time to work on protecting the walls. Even though drywall is fireproof, the studs behind it is not, so the NFPA considers it a flammable wall. I've decided on framing with drywall hat channels and then covering with the same roofing I used in the previous episode.
This channel is dedicated to educating and entertaining anyone interested in the art/science of historic restoration, which will include construction techniques and goals, related off-site projects, a little homesteading and off-grid living, history and maybe even a little farming. Since I work alone, and depend on no one, this is the ultimate DIY channel! On this property stands a Dogtrot style log cabin built in 1850, with an addition constructed in the 1970's. Although at one point, this was likely quite a nice and well cared for home, but years of neglect has caused a lot of deterioration.My intent is to have you learn some construction and restoration basics, as you watch. None of my videos are intended to teach the use of safety techniques or use of personal protective equipment.

Episode 93 Cutting siding from pine logs with my Woodmizer LX 25

I spend my time on this episode cutting a couple of pine logs I had saved into siding. I ran out of pine siding so I need to cut more. The two logs won't be enough to finish and I'll have to use white oak to complete my project. Unfortunately, the oak logs I have just died last year, so they'll need some time to dry before I can use them. The remaining siding will likely have to wait until next...

    Love the 'werkin music! I had this same problem. Thought I was doing good with deer, till I wasn't. They got a lot of my tomatoes and I don't have any time whatsoever right now to even put in something like you have here. Then I came across some potential wisdom from a 90+'er. He puts a radio with talk radio or preaching on it in the middle of his garden. Says deer won't come if they hear people talking. I tend to agree, though deer nowadays seem to be pretty darn fearless. The main one I got, she isn't even really that scared of me riding behind her on my ATV! For lack of time, I thought I'd give it a go. I have a solar powered radio my mom gave me last year and have it playing pretty loudly from night until after the sun comes up. We'll see how well it works. If it does seem to work, I may invest in running some power out there and building a small shack for a more permanent solution. Hopefully your fence works out for you!

    I am sorry, but the pictures are not good enough for me to identify the species. Color, bark , and grain are the 3 things which I rely on and there's just not enough close ups to let me see any of those 3 characteristics well. I am from SW MO and am still finding that there are trees in not so distant places which we don't have here. Therefore, my experience is limited to trees common to where I live. Cottonwood and black locust are a couple of examples. Rare in my immediate area yet common within a 60 minute drive. As for the usefulness of hackbery, I love it. Was able to get my hands on a log that had splated and have some beautiful lumber from it. It was heavy even after air drying for a time, but came out of the kiln very light in weight. Very wide boards stayed good and flat. Have used it so far in chess boards with walnut as the contrasting color and honey locust as the frame around the outside. Is a beautiful and popular combination. Planning a hall table with much of what I have left.

    Looks nice. Love the floor you've chosen. Glad your nice and warm there. It's been below zero for several days here in Colorado.

      It turned a cold sub zero in Arkansas just a few days after the middle of the country.

    Boy, that door came out beautiful. Did you make that door or purchase it? I remember the door you made in a previous video. Safe travels to Colorado, my friend, and the Happiest of New Year to you.

      Thanks Sinbad! I made the outside doors, but ordered the interior ones like this one.

    Just out of curiosity did you turn it that direction so sawdust would be going outside? I just sold my lx25 and went to a lt15 wide going to build a trailer for it . I had some trouble with mine the head dropping and etc. and some trees to large for it. Have you seen woodland mills blade setter ? They look do a good job and very affordable. Great videos and beautiful place there.

      Mine has not been without problems including the one you described. I also had some problems with the blade trying to climb, especially after hitting a knot. A lot was taken care of when I started sharpening and setting my blades myself. You'd think Woodmizer would have the research to sell their blades optimized for performance, but I was able to get better results by increasing the set a little. Yes, I did turn the mill so removal of sawdust was easier. I found that to be a real pain always cleaning up by hand in close quarters. Now, I'll just use my tractor to get rid of it.

      Disassembling and cleaning the heifght adjustment head took care of the head dropping problem.

    It sure will make it nicer to work in there once it starts getting really cold. I'll bet you are glad to have that done.

      I hate insulating so I am very glad to have that finished
