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
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.
I cannot understand how 28 people had disliked? - by the time I watched- This is one of the most enjoyable channels on TH-cam with every episode being more enjoyable than the last... simply awesome. Love.
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.
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
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........
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.🙏
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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".
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.
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 👍
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.
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!
Nice doors my friend, the old way are better. My grand father tought us that. We plowed the feilds with a mule and rode. made are own hardware my ggfather he was the blacksmith and feirer of the town.
I saw my grandfather use his. It is in my care now, and to be honest, I've only used it a few times. I am still looking for some decent bits for my brace, though. I want to do my timber framed pavilion with nothing but hand tools.
I remember my Dad coming home from work one day with a Skil saw, the seminal circular saw. 1975. He was a carpenter, everything he did before that was by hand, everything for him was about sharpening his tools. I think the Skily changed things forever
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
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 !!! 😁

You, sir, are an American treasure, and one of my personal heroes. That you can do all that you do is truly inspiring.

Kaya mo iyan! Walang bagay na hindi mo kayang gawin pag magkasama isang tatay at anak. Inspiration din si Mr. Chickadee sa akin 👍🙌
I find your videos very becalming and interesting to see. The craftmanship, the simplicity, the atmosphere -- love it!
A video from you and hand tool rescue today! Truly a good day.
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........
holy shit, i think I found my new favorite Mr. Chickadee video
I might actually say this on just about every video!
Труд в каждом движении . Теперь понятно почему от «старых» вещей исходила сила . Спасибо мастеру за его работу . )
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.🙏
These movies are great. No unnecessary gestures, scenes. No talking. And all clear. Master.
A pleasant surprise! Makes my evening for a Mr Chickadee video to pop up. Thank you for another great job. Yours truly, Robert.
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
Love the decorative door hinges and the long horned bull door latch. The bull horned latch just tops it off, the perfect finishing touch!!
This is not a building, this is art.
The Art of Hand Building
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
Coming from a thirty plus year carpenter,my hats off to you. Thanks I enjoy your videos.
Totally insane!!! It’s art, not just a building.
Beautiful work. Love the hardware. Way to go Mr. Chickadee. Blacksmith shop anyone would love to work in. 👍
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.
Wow!! So awesome. Your drive is inspiring
It is the life I dreamed of. So beautiful and cool ~!
The work you do is unbelievable. A true modern day primitive craftsman master.
Hello Josh, you’re doing a great job in the Smithy already. Looks great around there for sure. Thanks for sharing with us!
Beautiful work as always
Nice job! You brought back the memory of my making a dutch door for the workshop my dad made.
JIM
Very 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.
C'est merveilleux ce que vous faite, monsieur. J'adore tes vidéos et j'aime beaucoup ton travail.
Love the clinching technique, those doors will last forever. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
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.
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.
Man you really gotta do a video on the traditional wooden video camera and computer. This is wild. You blow me away sometimes.
Absolutely stunning craftsmanship
this channel just keeps getting better
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

Great work Mr. Chickadee!!😎🥇🏅 This looks fabulous!
I like your work Mr. Chickadee. It is good.
What a awesome longhorn you forged
It's like watching Michaelangelo at work. I am in awe of the craftsmanship.
Beautiful work and final product!
I'm really impressed with your skills and determination with what you do. Amazing craftsmanship. Great job!
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!

Love the longhorn! Great job buddy!
Great job but the lighting on some of the video was dark and hard to see
Hand forged nails? Nice. Hand forged hinges? Super cool. Hammering with a store bought hammer? hmmmmm. LOL This is looking sweet! Very cool project!
Another wonderful 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.
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.
I tore down a old barn in Tennessee that had all the nails bent over. You talk about a real pain to take apart!
Excellent job as always.
Thank you good sir for the video......great work!
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!
Love your talent. and your shop.
Your shop is looking very cool Mr. C, Thank you.

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.
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.
Nice job . I especially love the blacksmith part of it
Hence the term..."Dead as a door nail" Great video
Love the bull head catch. The shop is really coming along.
As always a pleasure and an education.
Great work as always...just stunning. I love the long horn bull hook...that's the best part...haha.
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, ....

Done both ways, I prefer this for serviceability
@@MrChickadee Good Point!
Great video of some terrific work.
Beautiful work. And the little mischievous imp in me is gleefully rubbing their hands.
I COULD WATCH THIS ALL DAY, WHAT A CRAFTSMAN
Nail game is on point!
Great job! You learn fast!
Brilliant craftmañship as usual. Lovely work. From your biggest longest fan from Australia ❤️
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.
Beautiful as usual. Keep it up. I am still waiting for the wheelbarrow video.

OMG, that Longhorn was ADORABLE! Great work, as always!
I do a lot of hammering. I am years behind his skill level. rock on brother!
that was awesome man. true work of art.
Beautiful work!

Very well done !
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!
I observe with joy how in each film you post increase your skill in the forging technique
Awesome work! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Nice doors my friend, the old way are better. My grand father tought us that. We plowed the feilds with a mule and rode. made are own hardware my ggfather he was the blacksmith and feirer of the town.
I Spy a Texas Longhorn... Love these Videos!
Fabulous work...
Seriously off the hOoK . 🐶. THANKS 4 all u du.
My dad had one of those hand drills when I was a little boy don't think I ever seen him use it though he used an old Montgomery Ward's drill.
Yes my dad as well Bradley he was born 1940 he's 80 years old April 16th love that man as well I'm sure you do your father peace brother
I saw my grandfather use his. It is in my care now, and to be honest, I've only used it a few times. I am still looking for some decent bits for my brace, though. I want to do my timber framed pavilion with nothing but hand tools.
@@thomasarussellsr nice Thomas keep going to garage sales
I remember my Dad coming home from work one day with a Skil saw, the seminal circular saw. 1975. He was a carpenter, everything he did before that was by hand, everything for him was about sharpening his tools. I think the Skily changed things forever
Thanks for another great video!
Man you are a genius
Congrat's as ever,
beautifull nails...
Sankyü !
