He built a metalworking forge once, just watch this man construct an entire hamlet for his TH-cam series lmao.
How big is his nutmeg refinery?
I think you are underestimating how much this is for him .... we collectivly just allow him the means and time to do more of what he wants to do anyway.
Which is how you get the most enthusiastic and best creators.
If there was no cameras and Mr. Townsend had won the lottery instead, I would bet money he would be out there, stomping cob.
@@aenorist2431 yes, I certainly agree with you. He's not doing this just for TH-cam money. You can clearly see and feel that he, and the people who work with him, are all passionate about this. And honestly, 1 million subscribers is 1/4 of what Binging with Babbish has and Babbish does an amazing work, but from the very nature of their efforts, he doesn't put nearly this much effort and time in his projects. Not trying to diss on Babbish, I love his channel, and I believe he's very passionate about what he does. But Mr. Townsend & Co. are real pioneers.
And it's not like you can get rich on TH-cam money, after all!... Unless you're TH-cam, that's another matter.
@@frank6842, I've purchased a number of items from them and have yet to be dissatisfied with the quality.
Serge Storms some of their products are hand made, some are also spectacular, and I too have never been disappointed. And if I understand correctly, his father started the store for folks to buy 18th century stuff WAY before they had the TH-cam shows
In this totally crazy year, the videos from the Townsends offer a brief moment of deceleration, calm and reason.
Thanks for your valuable work
We could have used Townsends in Germany the day we found out Chernobyl had exploded 2 days earlier. It was a tad bit insane that day. It was all acceleration, chaotic and absolutely no reason.
@Doom I sure hope so.
@@blllllllllllllllllllrlrlrl7059 that wecimplode or ghe iven whuch would be worth a lot at that time.
I *love* the "come'n geddit" cry, and then the cut to all the workmen (and women) sitting and leaning, chewing contently.
Relatable through the ages, I am sure that is one of the quintessential human experiences.
Working hard and eating simply, but well, and being glad about it.
that's a good point, it just put an image in my head of some caveman chef 50k years ago, who's yet to invent language, just grunting loudly into the distance at everyone cause dinner's ready. but then maybe not cause another long relatable human experience is coming running once they smell cooked meat on a fire wafting into the wind, maybe no words necessary
Next Video: How to convince your neighbors you didn't built a HUMONGOUS earthen oven in your backyard.
Some people have outdoor BBQs. Some have fire pits. Some, have humongous 18th century earthen ovens.
A backyard pizza oven is very similar (though most use bricks and concrete rather than cob) and not a particularly strange thing to build in a modern backyard.
Do you live in a HOA neighborhood or something? I have a pretty small backyard and I don't think my neighbors would (or even could) care what I build in it.
I would imagine something like this would be true for something like a meth lab.... But an oven??? You cant build something in your own backyard???!!
I have a friend that has an imported from Italy wood fired pizza oven that is about this size. His entire back yard isn't more than 500 square feet. When I looked up the price for it, I decided that if I ever want a wood fired pizza oven, I will use the Townsends method.
Kenny you bastard, so you're watching dudes make ovens instead of watching anime. PRIORITIES MAN
That is soo cool. I really love all these recent projects, guys.
From now on you must build all your ovens out of clay in DF ;)
It's really cool to see you here! My girlfriend and I love your content! We watch it at the end of the day as a way to relax. Your storytelling is fantastic. Thank you for all the work you do.
Shouldn't you have a checkmark next to your name or something?
"Your earthen oven is very nice, now THROW IT IN THE PILE AND GET BACK TO WORK"
This is a nice human settlement, isn't it? They don't craft like dwarfs but, hey they can do something.
Wild to see you here randomly! Getting some inspiration?
You guys have been killing it. Love this series.
Thanks!
I love when some of my favorite TH-cam channels talk with each other. It is so cool.
I suppose this is merely a different era's version of your soup can forges and cooking stoves!
Back in the old country (Hungary), in villages and farms have a summer kitchen. That is the facility you use throughout the day, that way you do not mess up your house. My and had a HUGE, I mean HUGE Earthen oven, that she used to cook and bake everything in. She served the community by taking orders for bread, deserts or what ever, especially for big events. We used bundles of dried out corn stalks or cobbs to heat the oven. I will never forget the smell of the fresh bread coming out of the oven.
That's amazing, sad that I'm not able to experience that as I'm Asian, and we don't really bake foods but instead we steam. My Granduncle is really good at making things out of bamboo and coconut strips and he used to make large steamer that can also be repurposed as a smoker.
In my town in Australia, the local government funds people to come and operate a community outdoor oven once per month, you can come and bake bread, pizza, anything. It is not earthen, but rather made of stone.
I need to get a bunch of people together to go to the middle of nowhere and make a town like this.
Im in ahah
If you are near me Im in.
@@Diniecita I'm in central Florida but I wanna set up the town somewhere where it gets less snakes and more snow.
I’ll come!!
I'd love that - - for about 2 weeks.😄😆 Then I'd want my electricity and cell phone.
You should have Brandon talk and explain things on the show more often. He seems like a cool knowledgeable person.
He does his own show on their premium platform.
We’re doing American history all year in our homeschool curriculum. This channel has been our go-to! Can’t wait to watch this one with the kids later.
Don't white wash it lol
I wish I had you as my teacher lol
Better than most textbooks.
Cant wait for my girlfriend to ask what I'm doing when she sees me collecting dirt from a gaint pit in the yard and weaving a basket.
if she really loves you she might join in XD
earthen oven pizzas + wine + firepit + friends = good times
are you gonna actually make it?
@@Ali-fx6jd yes if I can find the right kind of dirt, we just had a basement for a new house dug out and the clay I see there is very sandy.
Cody Jenkins probably will need more sand. Pool filter sand or play sand can be found in some hardware stores like ace and orchlens. Good luck
Built a clay oven with a buddy in college. Huge sand mound, covered in clay, dug out the sand, voila! It made excellent pizzas.
He's done that. he said in this video it was a more modern method so he wanted to do it this way. :)
This channel should be required watching in all North American schools. Living history of this type teaches so much more effectively than textbooks and documentaries. The production value is great and you guys probably have some of the most family friendly history content here on youtube. I would show this to anyone and everyone. Great work and thank you!
Plus they can DO the things, not just watch the video
Brandon always giving it that extra touch!
You can tell Brandon is a professional because after completing the form basket he didnt instantly put it on his head and scream "THE BEEEEEEES"
That part was edited out 🤣 Brandon is amazing though!
@@lyra2112 wouldnt have been as authentic if they left it in lol
God, your energy is so good, you’re so passionate I love it
The quality of the video, the set and your presentation in front of the camera have improved exponentially. You deserve your own show on History Channel or something at this point!
Thank you for the amazing content, Mr Townsends
PS: there had to be some nutmeg used in the making of the oven, right? 😆
Thank you so much!
I like them right where they are at.
Besides, the History Channel is not what it once was. Sad to say, I think it has deteriorated greatly over the years.
If this became a History Channel program, the content would change and most of the current viewers would probably stop watching because of it. Most "reality" shows are almost as scripted and fiction shows.
I think a lot of people are taking my sentiment a bit too seriously. I just think they could take it to the next level as to having their own full show. I haven’t had cable for a long time, but I can imagine history channel not having the right atmosphere for townsends videos, but any kind of full show production is something very warranted for how much this channel has improved!!
@@archeantyl9452 TH-cam's just fine. ;)
This is giving me “This Old House” vibes. Or should I say “Ye Olde House”.
Fun fact, Y was used by early printers to represents a letter/symbol that meant "TH"
so "Ye Olde House" would in fact be "The Olde House."
So it should be "yis old house"
@@oldtimetinfoilhatwearer yis old crack house
Now make a humongous loaf of potato bread!
No we are making nutmeg bread.
@@stevencooper4422 Nutmeg potato bread.
@@rambofan334 That really sounds Good! Slathered with butter and jam. 🙂
@@trishthehomesteader9873 aaaand now i'm hungry at night
He might might need a bigger oven to make enough for these rude and clamorous masses
I just want to give a huge shoutout to whoever is doing the filming and B-roll stuff. Really impressive and high quality stuff. I would legit love a 1 or 2 hour video of just all sorts of relaxing b-roll footage and the music you guys use. It would be super chill to put on in the background.
Primitive technology might be up your alley
Hey Jon I thought you'd like to here that I mentioned your TH-cam and your Store in an essay of mine. Im applying to university for History right now and one of the short answer questions asked "if you could start a business or company what would it be?" I am a big fan of what you do so I decided on writing about a company that publishes media related to history and I mentioned what you do as an example of history related media.
Not only do we sit and listen to Jon talk about bread in paintings, we are now listening to him talk about sticks and mud. It is just so exciting seeing the homestead coming together. Thank you, crew, for ALL of your continued work.
Hello earthen oven daddy
Hello Nicole! 👋✌️
Hi unique Nicole! :)
@@dwaynewladyka577 hi there, Dwayne!
@@rosemcguinn5301 Hello Rose! 👋✌️
that oven has no chill, just like him
0:11 - I can;t get over this shot. Jon is just 100% in his element and you can see it in every movement.
For me, this week has been the worst week in a notoriously rough year. I've spent the last few days just immersed in the tremendous amount of content on this channel, and it's been wonderful. Your videos are so interesting, so educational, and so relaxing, and the enthusiasm and passion of everyone involved are contagious. Thanks for all you do.
You are a humongous earthen oven of warmth and goodness in these times
Mr Townsend you sir are entirely the most INFECTIOUS persons whom in all of my great military travels n follies after have had the pleasure of meeting(1812 grant county, Indiana territory)!!! That smile and true joy for endeavors splash across my face as suddenly as bow spritz and I thank you sir for sharing your love of things with us abroad!
I love watching Brandon in this series, he's such a talented craftsman
this is the wholesome, educational and relaxing content I signed up for
This is just amazing. I’ve been watching Townsends for quite a long time now and although the production quality has always been great, I’ve been incredibly impressed with everything lately. This is a genuine (TV) production. Historical content aside, the establishing shots, b-roll, the overall narrative and professional hosting is all phenomenal, not to mention the sound and editing. You should all be proud of yourselves. You’ve come together to create something fantastically beautiful. I can’t wait to see what else you have in store! Wishing you all the best.
We look at this and it makes us happy, because we know it’s pure work. There is no self gain other than feeling good about building something. This is what’s missing from our communities. Selflessness. Everything is driven by gain and greed.
Jon must be psychic, he rebuilt his own civilization out in the woods before 2020 even got started.
Watching this channel grow and evolve has been one of the highlights of the last few years. Great work!
I really love this. Amazing to see how you built this oven. It also shows us how much we take for granted our modern appliances. I can't wait to see the breads you make in this oven, as well as other dishes. I have a request. Can you do an episode on making bannock bread, like they would have done in the 18th and 19th centuries, in North America? Thanks so much for another awesome video. Cheers!
I think they did one, very long ago, on an open campfire?
I love John’s excitement about the materials in the oven and how it brings so many stories together. Sometimes I feel like I’m the only one like that. It’s good to know there are others. Keep up the great work.
Ok seriously the opening fly by camera shot where it spun and Jon started talking was amazing. Fantastic production on this one guys!! Love the way your various projects have joined in this special oven!
Was there an episode where you ended up firing the bricks you made the other day? The ones here look like they've been fired with the scorch marks on it.
He said that will come later, maybe in the spring.
I was going to ask the same question. Are those the same bricks you were making a few weeks back, or from an earlier batch? Either way, I hope they do a "Brickmaking: Step 2" video where you show how the bricks are fired.
The ones shown in the video are store bought firebricks not available in the 18th century, I wish they kept everything period correct.
Genuine joy watching from watching a man experience genuine joy building a big ole' oven.
This is what I'm here for.
Love this show it’s so cool knowing these guys are fellow Hoosiers
You're way of life just seems so much more wholesome
Yeah but a lot more sweaty.
I've been promising myself to build an oven for awhile now. This is a real inspiration!
why has that been a goal?
@@user-zr9hu3tf1y My wife is an excellent baker and she has been wanting one. Personally, I want to make some really good beans!
@@tigerhuey4051 that's cool that makes sense. it would just go in your back yard or something?
@@user-zr9hu3tf1y Yes,I have a large back yard in a rural area. The base of the thing may be the hardest part for me, since it has to hold a lot of weight.
@@tigerhuey4051 just in case you didn't see, they just uploaded a video and as part of a bigger meal, they're cooking molassas pork and beans in the oven
Constructed one on the New York Barge Canal. In the Winter as it was frozen over. Packed snow on top of...more snow. Carved-out a hole on the top and hollowed-out the center. perfect for cooking a couple Pickerel, on a very windy, freezing morning of ice-fishing.
Funny enough it was the 1st Earthern Oven video that introduced me to this wonderful channel.
Such a welcome change to the stress and chaos of today’s times.
Finally! A new episode!
The fact that you are so excited makes me excited for this project. Loving this series!
This channel has been so great for so long, but I can't believe how far you guys have come in the last year or so. I thought I was ok with just the cooking videos, but the homestead you're building is incredible to watch! Keep it up everyone!
Jon, I always look forward to your videos. Your videos inspire me to get out and try making my own historical stuff and I want to say thank you and keep up the great work!
Seeing Brandon make that handle with just hand tools was incredible, really impressive project.
Very cool! I saw how public ovens worked on a historic video. What a time saver back in the day!
I really loved this episode! You have so many wonderful amenities available right there, that you were able to use to make this not only functional, but beautiful oven! I can't wait to see you use it!!
That thing has some thermal mass! Will take a while to get to temp but once it does it should stay hot most of the day.
5:30 - Did Brandon made that perfectly round cut with just a frame saw? That would take me some chisels and sandpaper.
I guess draw out a charcoal line with a rope and nail to make a good arch and then use something straight to draw lines and then just follow the line with the saw.. i would still fail at that but thats how i would do it
Love this video! I built my own "humongous" earthen oven a few years ago using Townsends older smaller clay oven video as one of my primary guides. Now I'm in the process of building a second one at our new home. Thanks James and friends for your inspiration.
Absolutely incredible video! You guys did an awesome job on this earthen oven. Thank you all so much for consistently going the extra mile to keep history alive. This homestead you're building is such a beautiful tribute to our pioneer ancestors who had the guts and grit to forge a life on the frontier. Brandon's hand-forged handle for the oven door was the crowing touch to an awesome project.
Always very informative dude, can't wait to learn more!
7:00 That looks really good.
Wow! The making of this new oven was truly a labor of love!
From the blacksmithing to you and the team painstaking putting it all together in the old fashioned way was beautiful to watch.
Thank you for your channel and keeping alive the 18th century methods.
I love this channel. The passion that all of you have for your jobs is wonderful to see. I am loving the building projects!! Can’t wait for the next video.
This is some of the best content on youtube. Well done everyone! ❤️
“Big enough for a 15 inch pie” - YES PLEASE.
What a great project!
I see a hint of autumn, there.
You folks seem like such good, interesting souls; I'd love to spend a day helping out.
Thanks for these episodes!
Absolutely loving all these new projects! The place it really coming together! Can’t wait to see some new cooking videos out here.
Ayyy new oven!
In a few years John will become a cult leader, living off the land in the middle of no where with a few dozen people, preaching the good gospel of nutmeg.
Ha ha hilarious!!
Sign me up!
This show warms my heart, it's so simple and genuine, I love the passion you guys have.
So cool. They have a forge and a bakery right by the cabin!
Get this community some defenses and it's ready for a zombie apocalypse.
Very nice
It is amazing that you are able to construct an 18th Century area on your land. A dream come true. My friends and I wish we could do the same for a Medieval spot. Videos from you are always amazing. Keep up the fantastic work.
Honestly it wouldn't be much different I can't think of many things a person in the middle of the forests in 18th century America would have that the medieval world didn't have. From manuscripts it looked like blacksmiths used double bellows and by the time of 15th century the bellows like John built seems to have been used. The big difference is the house, houses would be made out of cobb with thatched roofs if you're going for the common man's house at the time. If you guys have anywhere you can build, you can build the oven (which looks the same as in the middle ages) and you can build the forge just a little smaller and get two bellows the limiting factor is land that you can build this stuff on. I hope you guys are able to make this.
This was one of the most calming videos I have seen in a really long time. Thank you for this and I look forward to the next video!
*Approves in Italian*
*BENE*
MOLTO BENE
It's so wonderfully wholesome.
You did it again! You made me smile. Watching your videos is always a pleasure. They are entertaining, informative and relaxing. Although they sometimes make me want to jump right in there to take part. It’s like a message from the past presented right now: “Switch off your TVs a bit more often and feel good!”. Thank you.
Absolutely loved this episode , I wish it was longer, cant wait for next week! I hope to learn how to make one of those , it will be epic, lots of interesting information which was great, thanks for sharing John and crew. 🥳⭐️
HUMONGOUS
I'm disappointed in your "Mammoth" oven Jon, I saw no Wooly Mammoths hunted and cooked in your video. Okay... You still get a like!
Is it hunting season for wooly mammoths? Might be a little early.
@@4philipp Just remember there's a slot limit of twenty feet on wooly mammoths this season. Catch and release isn't likely when a mammoth has 20+ atlatl darts in it.
RyllenKriel seriously? I hope I get my tag. Need a couple good steaks and winter coats for the kids
“Hi, I’m Jon Townsend, and welcome to 18th Century BC Cooking”
Seeing John's enthusiasm is truly inspiring. This has convinced me to build something comparable and keeping up the spirit.
Great looking oven! Gotta say your enthusiasm is awesome! Anyone can see how much you love what you do.
Kid meet Christmas, “some assembly required”.
Nice Video
My mother and I are hoping to try making an earthen oven next year. All these guides will prove invaluable. Keep up the great work!
What a great looking oven! You all did a wonderful job!
I am excited to see all of the fantastic food that will be coming out of this!
Can I live there I love to bake yummy yummy stuff and I don't hesitate when it comes to chores inside or out.😍

1st things first Townsends, I remember how i got intrigued and fell in love with your channel was when you built the earthen oven, and getting you do one now in 2020 simply blew me back when I 1st watched it. Love your content and please continue to make more with passion you have in each video.
Your videos always take me back to my childhood and our families many visits to George Washington’s Birthplace and Williamsburg, VA.
Thank you for these educational videos and all the care and work each of you devote to your channel and it’s viewers.
Be well, stay kind and blessings to all ~
You'll have to feed a whole community? Now I really am getting curious.
Nice to see some females starting to show up :-)
Just fyi, unless you're talking about scientific subjects in a scientific context, it's preferable to use the term "women" instead of females, just like John and the crew are generally referred to as men rather than being called 'males' in this context. The biological term is for biological contexts, whereas the social term is for social contexts.
@@sonipitts yeah, 'females' gives off creepy Ferengi vibes
cool
Great seeing the forge working!
The platform for that oven is a considerable bit of work in its own right. It's going to be really impressive when finished.
Love it!!! This is on my bucket list! I used something like it in Chiapas Mexico and I never tasted bread so good!!!
where is the video of finishing this oven??

Love the projects!. Plus, the filming and editing is so good.
i love this channel it really show what are ancestors had to go through to make a meal , bake bread . and to make a cabin of logs and a earthen oven . wow guys very impressive. your handle for the door is very good talented work.
I love watching all you guys working together on this big project. I wish I could do something like this in my area. Not necessarily historical reenactment, but big group project using skills.
