So originally this footage was lost (Rons fault), this video was supposed to go out for Valetines day last week. Thankful it was recovered and we were able to put this video out, better late than never right? 😁
Love seeing you outside with your attire & rifle Ron! It’s so Beautiful outside the cabin! Must be cold, I can see you breathe inside the cabin. Beautiful wood carving. Justine will Love it! Thank you for these two wonderful channels! Blessings from The White Mountains of New Hampshire!
This is such a dying art form. I’m 50 now but when I was in the 7th-8th grade here in Mississippi I took a class in leather stamping & sewing to make belts, pouches, etc., and wood crafting including spinning candle sticks on a lathe. I absolutely loved that class. I wished it was still introduced at that young of an age just so students could learn that if they choose to not attend college there are so many trades that they can work in and make a really good living such as a specialty carpenter or contractor.
@@girlygirl2969 My dad taught agriculture for 32 years. I took him for my 4 high school years and it has always been my favorite class! I learned everything from horticulture to welding, business management, public speaking, parliamentary procedure, ag mechanics and rebuilding my own lawnmower motor. Tons of life skills in that class.
Dear Ron, I love this channel of yours because to me its the male side of the 1820's. And that is good Teachings. Both sides being taught. Men in those days worked very hard , so did the woman, but it was hard for the men to provide for their families! Thank you Lad for teaching real history. Ann
So much time and love going into that gift that Justine will treasure and use for a lifetime. A family heirloom was just created and we got to see it. The copper kettle is beautiful also. You are a lovely man Ron.
Ron that is an incredible cookie press the sweet and beautiful lady Justine will love and appreciate it. Ron your an inspiration, beautiful hearted manly man :-)
Another very fine reminder dear Ron , that our founding citizens MADE what they needed! And how wonderful dome of these very things survive the centuries. After all there was no Wal-Mart on The Frontier. I'm sure Justine will make good use of your cookie press.💜
How pleasing to watch your careful woodworking. Hand-made gifts are the best gifts of all! With a roaring fire and a hot cup of coffee, you spent a very productive day.
Hello Ron, You cut quite the dapper figure in your Winter furs and hat! Is that the Cookie Cutter you gave to Justine in your Valentines video? You did a wonderful job! ♥️👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Work of art Ron.I like how the cookie press turned out.I have some of my 3ed great grandfather wood carving tools,and metal carving tools,plus his old tool box.They would be over 200years old.Keep up the good work! David Back.
Yes they are. They've been doing that for some years now, and are larger and very dangerous to people now, especially children, or even larger dogs and stock animals.
I am glad you are showing these videos. This is becoming a lost art with the advent of modern tools and tech. people have become complacent. You never know when you may have to use the "old ways".
Gosh it sure looks cold in the cabin, I could see your breath. Love the cookie press, I'm sure it will be a treasure for Justine. Thanks for sharing this with us.
its normally 75 degrees in there with the woodstove going too but since it was just me in there i didnt want to waste the extra wood to light the woodstove. Thanks for watching!! :)
That cookie press turned out really nice, I went to vocational school and participated in a woodworking class when my children were very young, made custom furniture and commercial cabinets, it was a great experience for me and I also built a personal project to purchase affordably, I took pride in making it, my sister has it in her home lol
Lovely manicure for an outdoors man. ( my nails look like I work outdoors, yet I rarely wash dishes, all recycle plastic dish wear 🤣. ) Loving your outdoor winter snow wear. You might consider modeling outdoor wear- it's totally you. I'm sure alot of women would buy for their b/f or spouse. Such patience to work with hands. Beautiful outcome. It would be great if you considered selling some of your crafts. Stay warm, great 🔥 you got going there.
@@frontierpatriot right, but you are learning how to angle and your on screen presence kinda becomes more dramatic, as opposed to your videos with Justine, which are more personal....
If you don't have them, you ought to buy some whet stones and mineral oil to help keep your chisels sharp. I usually always carry a small flat stone in my bag to help get the edge back up on my knives. Of course a large round stone and a file is great to have when you are using an axe or adze.
I love coyotes.. we live in rural northwest Missouri and they sing every night. I know they prey on people’s chickens and smaller livestock, but this was their home first. It kill’s me when people use live harmful traps. Our neighbor did that and I was so angry. He had a pile of dead coyotes in the creek bed on our property line
I agree on the Cinematography and your acting was great. I am concerned about Justine not being escorted by you with those coyotes around. That rifle may take out one of them but it's dangerous hiking around there.
Ron, What wud the temperature be in the cabin furthest from the fireplace? Any guestamation? I don't see you or Justine shivering or commenting about it being cold/chilly. I met an older retired gal from Indiana last Spring who had inherited her Grandfather's home. House was built in late 1700s. Passed down from one generation to the next.. She told me about the newspapers discovered stuffed into the walls for insulation as building was getting continually updated & modernized. (And secret cubbyholes for stashing $.) The existing fireplace for a period of time, of course, was the only sorce of heat . She told me during that time period No Matter HOW much wood the fireplace was stoked with the temp in the house never rose above 57°. It was a 2story dwelling. MY STORY: After 4mnths wo heat this year in IA in a 2 story 117yr old home w 5 space heaters going full bore 24/7 to prevent pipes from bursting and attempting to supply heat my rooms continuoulsy between 40-57 depending on wind chill and direction. Brrrr. Wore 5 layers to bed w 5 layers of bedding & still shivered while trying to sleep. 2 handymen who promised to show up blew me off w No call/ no show. One of them a retired HVAC guy. I am a poor, elderly, single temp worker. Long story short... Last week I met a Christian couple at a Christian Cafe. This cafe will feed the poor for free or what you can afford. I went to get myself a birthday Omlete... I mentioned to folks sitting at next table it was so nice to be in a heated building enjoying a hot plate of food and coffee. They asked if I was Homeless. Well not exactly.... They were all ears hearing about my furnace. The husband INSISTED he come and look at my furnace. He had fixed his own furnace and felt competent to look at mine. He came over tools in tow and was dumbfounded I was surviving within after 4 mnths of no heat w sub zero temps. I told him I had turned my hardship into a Social Experiment- if low class populations previously existed w little to no heat ie: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Roccoco, Industrialist, Frontiers, Revolutionary War, George Washington's soldiers wo footwear, Civil War, Slavery, Transportation to America as punishment for crimes in England, Irish potato Famine, OUR HOMELESS in the USA, on and on, I could endure until warm weather arrived. Told him I had German ancestors who traveled to Iowa via covered wagons to become farmers and succeeded thru grit and fortitude. My mom used the still in service outhouse as a little girl in the 1930's ! He was touched and astonished at my perspective. After 3 monthly electric bills of $425 EACH besides shelling out money to two newspaper add affordable Handymen my Furnace Fix presented itself to this DIY Christian Cafe Guy. We ingested many UTube videos and I finally said "what's that thing do?" I pointed.. He said 'I don't think that's it" I looked it up anyway. And guess what... it led to the fix!. A red colored detached dangling Vacuum Line right up front hiding, as they say, IN PLAIN SIGHT! No oxygen was getting routed to ignite the burners!. A THREE SECOND FIX! ( after 2 hrs of trouble shooting) Problem was this fellow was sitting in a chair off to the R of the Motherboard doing his pondering. .I was standing and had the broad view... hence my "Whats that thing do? question. The dangling tube was off to the far left of the motherboard. Location, location, location lol. When I called the furnace manufacturer months before I was told my furnace was unrepairable due to being an old obsolete model ( 2001) and I would need a new one. I had hoped for heat on this recent birthday, Feb 11. The Christian DIY guy fixed it on Feb 12th. Amen 🙏 And my new friend gave this 67 yr old lady 2👍👍's up for my contribution of observation ! Keep doing your videos. I love them!
"Just some coyotes. But they might make a nice fur pelt for Justine or to trade.". Done that a number of times myself. Go hunting and have it be whatever you find.
Ron was the sound coyotes or wolves? I thought coyotes. Not sure. A question: Justine traveled to town but I didn't see a rifle. Since you live a distance, I assume, would a woman be armed at home and traveling for protection as well? I didn't expect the animals so wasn't sure where you were as opposed to Justine's travels. Thank you . Would be interesting to have a video of the times regarding safety.

Amazing that Mr. H Freights has such longevity. I see them doing very well into the future!
wow, what a beautiful gift for Justine. Very thoughtful/ meaningful for her. she's a lucky lady !

Love the cookie press. It's sad that people have forgotten how to do this kind of work. A wonderful talent.
thankyou, Merry Christmas! :)
What a wonderful gift and beautifully done. 😊
Love the cozy cabin in the snow ❄️ and the wildlife sounds 💙
A Heartfelt Gift for your Beloved 💕

I’m inspired.

Beautiful carving, Ron.
What an incredibly talented craftsman you are.

I really enjoyed this. You did a great job on it.
thankyou
When something is made with love, it's a treasure no money can buy. Working and sipping coffee (Was it coffee?) by the fireplace - so peaceful!
yes a but very weak cup of coffee lol
Beautiful Wood carving.🥰 Justine LOVE you ❤️🌹❤️❣️
What a cozy cabin, especially with the crackling fire 🔥! ☺️😌🙏 of course beautiful crafting skills you have!
It looks very cool. Nice gift hand made wonderful.
From your friends up north at The Woodland Escape, another fine episode!
Thankyou!!! Your videos are very fine episodes as well!!
Like the quiet solitude and primitiveness of this. You're a skilled craftsman.
Brings me back to middle school . Teacher said be careful, have hand behind chisel, lol. Yup, had to go the nurse

I just discovered your Channels a few days ago....as a "History Buff", I'm obsessed now!! I've been binge watching ever since! 💕
Yay! Thank you!
Your a blessed woman Justine!
I just love this! You look so warm and cozy by the fire.....then I can see your breath! Aren't you freezing?
The spaces in the walls don't help but still great videos.
Ron, I love seeing art and functionality come together in carving the cookie press. I think we have a lot to learn from the old ways.
Hello 👋,
You both are Talented in your own Ways.
I absolutely LOVE this channel and it's companion channel, Early American ❤️❤️
A true labor of love.
That is SO COOL! Scary coyotes though. Where i am from coyotes have cross bread with wolves are really aggressive.
Yes they are.
They've been doing that for some years now, and are larger and very dangerous to people now, especially children, or even larger dogs and stock animals.
I really enjoy watching the videos on both channels. You two make a cute couple. Keep posting the videos on both channels.
I am glad you are showing these videos. This is becoming a lost art with the advent of modern tools and tech. people have become complacent. You never know when you may have to use the "old ways".
I am new to this channel and it's like looking in my History Book.This channel is amazing!
This turned into Ron ASMR. 😂🤣♥️👍🏻
Having a great Friday night drinking plum wine and watching you doing your wood carving with a fire in the fireplace!
Plum wine? Sounds interesting. Iove wine so much. Can't drink it.
Would plum wine work like prunes?
I love your videos. ❤️
Wonderful new intro!
Love Love Love You Both! Gods Speed🌹🌹
Was that coyotes I heard in the woods? Shiver me timbers!!! I love watching you work.
What a beautiful gift for your sweetie
Wow, You found the footage you thought was lost, hooray! I don't know anything about wood carving, it was really cool to see how its done, thanks!
Nice job, Ron. I think Justine will be so pleased!
Gosh it sure looks cold in the cabin, I could see your breath. Love the cookie press, I'm sure it will be a treasure for Justine. Thanks for sharing this with us.
I hope they filled in the gaps in the walls , sure does help
Aw! How sweet! Great talent and great video!
beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!💕💕
You should make home made ice cream(with snow)
so sweet!
I was enjoying your walk home then heard the coyotes and thought, oh, it might be hostiles. Something I would never think about today.
Definitely a labour of love, well done.
Nice! Free hand too! 👋👋
Loving your video! The rifle, your craftsmanship and the costumes. I noticed how cold it was in the cabin. Hope it warmed up fast !🥶
its normally 75 degrees in there with the woodstove going too but since it was just me in there i didnt want to waste the extra wood to light the woodstove. Thanks for watching!! :)
I wondered too how warm it was, I could see your breath.
What a great gift! Wood carving is very relaxing! Great video!
Justine is one luck woman to have you in her life ❤️
H. Freight has some perfectly serviceable tools, and much more pocket friendly than many other purveyors of like goods.
Wow ron you make so many wonderful things. Wow
I can see your breath, must be cold in the cabin.
Your very talented. I love both your channels . Great info and no drama except for the river rats and a few other thieves 😉❣
Great job on the cookie press, i loved the H. Freights Store reference too!
incase anyone wanted to know where to get those chisels from ;)
That cookie press turned out really nice, I went to vocational school and participated in a woodworking class when my children were very young, made custom furniture and commercial cabinets, it was a great experience for me and I also built a personal project to purchase affordably, I took pride in making it, my sister has it in her home lol
Enjoyed watching you make the cookie cutter.
Love it so will she great idea!!❤️
So beautiful and comforting to watch !!!! Do y’all ever go into town in 21st century clothing?
Lovely manicure for an outdoors man.
( my nails look like I work outdoors, yet I rarely wash dishes, all recycle plastic dish wear 🤣. )
Loving your outdoor winter snow wear. You might consider modeling outdoor wear- it's totally you. I'm sure alot of women would buy for their b/f or spouse.
Such patience to work with hands. Beautiful outcome. It would be great if you considered selling some of your crafts. Stay warm, great 🔥 you got going there.
Looking sharp with that stove-pipe hat on, Ron! 😏
i only did it for Justine lol she knows i hate top hats haha im a tricorn guy. thankyou thought! :)
Dude your channel is the best.. It is very interesting and incredible how you to do this..from Chicago 2022..keep it up...
Thankyou!!!
I like your coffee pot, and the new chisels worked great!
Nicely done!
What a good wood whittler you are Ron.
It's coyote mating season in these parts. Travel prepared as always!
I hope we get to see her use it to make some cookies..
Your cinematography is getting better and better.... :D
hard to do by your self because the camera doesnt move on its own , thankyou!
@@frontierpatriot right, but you are learning how to angle and your on screen presence kinda becomes more dramatic, as opposed to your videos with Justine, which are more personal....
@@teresarenee3829 thankyou
What a beautiful gift, so lovingly made! Sending you guys love from Mid Wales UK 💜💜💜
It is not easy to create like that. You need to be talented and patience to do it. Lovely cookie carving.
Yay!!!! Great video!!!😃
If you don't have them, you ought to buy some whet stones and mineral oil to help keep your chisels sharp. I usually always carry a small flat stone in my bag to help get the edge back up on my knives. Of course a large round stone and a file is great to have when you are using an axe or adze.
Love love this! So beautiful! I’d love to purchase one if you made more!
Same here I'd happily pay shipping to Scotland too.
You and Justine do such a GREAT job with your work and with your channels!
And I’m glad the wolves didn’t get you!!! 😊
good skills to have
Love watching these 💕
You should sell your creations, I wouldn’t mind buying some cookie presses from you
Agree with all the thoughtful comments... but no one has asked where Justine is while you're making her gift. You folks are great, btw!!❤
she was working in town at kandyes store
Ahhh... so she could buy you a red rose 🌹!! ❤
You two are so sweet!! ❤
Wish we had some snow :( Such a dissapointing winter :(
Looks cold in there 🥶

Is Mr. H Freights a play on Harbor Freight the tool store? Lol
Yes lol
@@frontierpatriot I knew it 😅, that was a clever one btw lol
That cookie press is so cute, I love it!! It looks so cold inside the cabin, what's the temperature inside?
Ops I didn’t mean to dislike. I fixed it. It’s really pretty
Was it particularly cold? Could see Ron's breath!
