I want to give Axminster’s marketing department a gold medal for raising their brand awareness with me from zero to hero in one video. Clever lads. Well done.
Me too! 😀
Thankyou Axminster for providing the wonderful workshop equipment.
Let's not forget Festool too.
Whether the videos are short or long, it is always a pleasure to watch.
............................but we wouldn't say NO to an hour long video .

Coming from a family sawmill and cabinet shop background I think that repurposing timber for doors and window frames is an excellent and cost-effective way for you to do this, providing you can get the timber at a good price. You have all of the equipment needed to process all of it, and it adds to your skill set and gives endless pride and pleasure to see the finished article and say "I made that".
That mill is a champ going through oak like it's butter.
When you see Dan working with that oak , doesn’t it make you appreciate nature and trees . Sometimes we take to much for granted 🤗
That basement is absolutely gorgeous !!!
I love to see you reclaiming beautiful wood from the old lumber!!
Dan gets quite abit of Help now , which he deserves... Well Done to all the Sponsors.. Great Guys Great Project..GRAND OLD LADY COMING BACK TO LIFE ❤❤
That cellar is already a thing of beauty! Bodes well for all the rest!
..................Real craftsmen for sure with a love for their job .
Can't wait to see the repurposed granite steps made into that stairway❤
It’s great to see him working without the wind whistling about his ears ,,the windows are doing their job
Well done fellas. The new table is going to be a real asset.
All of you, have a nice weekend.
WOW talking about making the windows and doors, I have been looking forward to seeing you build your windows since the video you did way back with Amuary and him being so positive about your ability to make them.
That basement is going to look amazing when the guys have finished, they are true masters of their craft.
I am already looking forward to next week's videos, thank you for each and every video you upload. Have a wonderful weekend, take care x
Lord of the manor has a nice ring to it!
He did buy the place
❤😂🎉funny
Your mason guys do beautiful work.
The very best restoration videos on the web,and some good humor along the way.
Nick and Brian need handwarmers to stick in their back pockets so they don't freeze their little butts off!
Basement looks so good!
Straight and flat windows and doors will be a good thing too!
Hello, I can't take my eyes off the screen for fear I might miss something. I look forward to all the work your doing.
Same.
I usually need to watch more than once.
Thumbs Up! Short but sweet, better short than not at all. ... Just seeing you guys today made my day! The wood looks nice. Can't wait to see the basement done.
Watertight roof, now making doors and windows.. so close to being able to do the wiring for the entire chateau. Can't wait for next weeks videos.
good work, gents. and I LOVE that bluesy piano music too.
Love all of your cool machines and tools..amazing to watch you all use them ,and see the quick results"LORD OF THE MANOR..LOL"
Have a great weekend with your family ❤
Спасибо вам, после всего что предлагает мне смотреть ютуб, я отдыхаю морально на вашем канале, просматривая ваши видео. То что вы делаете невероятно, я буду с вами и увижу шато во всем величии, возродившимся из пепла..
как птица феникс
The basement stone walls are jaw dropping....would love to have the back wall of my place look like that. You all work together well.
Nouveaux materiaux, nouveau materiel , nouvelles technics , ! grande progression depuis le début ! et un peu de Bues en fond musical ! bon courage à tous !!
Gorgeous piano! 👏🏻
Moi aussi, j´aime cette musique.
I love the calm piano tunes.
I really enjoy your videos and am impressed by the skills that you have learned. As someone who had his hearing destroyed by industrial noise, it worries me that you don't use adequate hearing protection during your work! If you are not careful, you'll be deaf by your sixties. Get and use best quality ear defenders when using power tools.
Yes, my late husband lost his hearing the same way. Loss of hearing, which means loss of communication, contributed to his very difficul times in his hospital stays.
You, too, Dan will grow old...with God's blessings. Ear protectors!!!
Can't tell him--we've all tried. He doesn't listen. Until he won't be able to heat his grandchildren someday. Then he will wish he had listened.
Yes, poor hearing puts you at a greater risk of dementia.
I really hope Dan does a longer basement video fro first sight to polished & completed. Yes we can go back & look at snippets throughout his blogs but I feel a basement "documentary" would be a fitting milestone review.
Hello Amazing Chateau! Cant believe all this when I compare it to what it looked like before .......😮
Dan has become a very good carpenter! A man that can pick up a lot of skills!
6mins into the post of Dan's vlog 👍🏻 always happy to see what's going on 1/2 way around the 🌎..Hello 👋🏻 from Alhambra Southern California 🌴
Loved seeing the process of reclaiming the beautiful old wood. The basement walls look so awesome. Have a great weekend. See ya Monday👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Always a pleasure to watch the team working together...good guys!
U did a great job getting all the windows covered & now it seem like u will have a good template for permanent windows.
That is one super sturdy workbench. You could build almost anything on that. Winter weather can be tough but you guys are making slower, but steady progress.
Your spring storms can be brutal. You working in your enclosed workshop looks a lot warmer than last year Dan. Looks like a lumber yard outside. Sourcing your own wood is a bonus. Hey Brian Dan worked in horrible conditions a lot. Now, now be kind.
That reclaimed wood is so beautiful. Looks like oak.
Love your videos and love all the progress. Watching from Northern California Redding.
Such a joy watching the three of you work and enjoy each others company 💕
It's been pure joy to watch your content.
the basement is turning into a work of art.
That shiny plywood appears to be what we call "form ply". It was originally intended for making concrete formwork. Handy stuff!
Wow the work your masonry is doing is beautiful!
Lord of the manor😂😂❤❤❤, great bunch of guys
That lumber is gorgeous.
I bet the kids love it on the grounds, much adventures to be had...I just love the visuals of the outside of this grand ol' gal, she just exudes 'it'...!
How good is it to hear Dan talk sbout making windows and doors 👍👍👍
Have to say this what fantastic machines you have. Imagine if it had been going on at the time. Will be so happy to follow along here and see the development. 🙂
that stonework just looks fantastic
thanks for sharing have a wonderful time with the boys
It’s all so wonderful to see how much professional help you have now Dan with all the machines, so different from last winter. Take care 🌸
Yay! Congrats on all the success. I heavily enjoy all the hard work and dedication from you and the crew. Love from Canada
Have a nice weekend with the boys!
Have a wonderful and safe weekend ☀️
I ❤ the saw mill and all those tools & equipment.
Ich bin derart begeistert hier, wohl seit zwei Jahren muss ich die kleinen Videos hier sehen, schaue immer, verletzt sich Keiner, geht es den jetzt drei Hunden gut, kann eine Familie damit umgehen mit diesen Projekt, ich stelle es mir nicht so einfach vor
Excellent week Dan.
Watching you guys are like watching three artists at work. Great work keep safe.
Dan, I always found that the fastest, easiest way to JOINT wood was to set an outfeed and infeed roller stand exactly flat with the jointer top, of course have the wood cup side down, then from all the way back on the infeed end of the board push it gently and slowly, with one finger if you can, all the way across the top of the machine. Do NOT apply downward pressure! If the blades are sharp and you push slowly there should not be any chatter. The only exception may be the first few and last few inches of the board when it becomes very light and you may have to apply some gentle pressure with you fingertips. If you push down, you are falsely removing the cup from the board and you may grind to nothing and wonder why the first side is not getting flat and you have wasted a lot of time and an entire board. NO down pressure, especially when you have two, three and four meter boards. The planer will apply plenty of pressure for the second side after you flatten the first one. Of course, before you plane, rough cut the lengths you will need beforehand. A second quick tip about gluing. I used short foam roller cover pieces that i would cut to a one or two inch length on the bandsaw, (safer) and place on a short roller frame, squirt some titebond on a scrap piece of cardboard. You get nice, even coverage, not too much glue nor too little, but the best part is you don't have glue squeezing out and running everywhere that is then in the wood where you want to finish later. Throw the cover piece away when finished and cut a new one the next time you glue. They're pennies apiece, literally!
As a lifelong artist furniture maker and remodeler, I think you guys are the best rounded crew I've seen! And you do more hardwork in a week then many ever do in a lifetime!!
it is incredible how you are doing all that wood stuff and building the doors right there on site. what a massively huge undertaking this has turned out to be.
Dan,Nick,Brian my true friends. Your workshop is very impressive. So many different machines for different jobs. You guys are masters of all trades and skills. Until Monday. My loves please, take care and stay safe. Love you guys 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🕊❤️🙏🇺🇸👍🌹🌈🌞😇😘🎈
That oak is so gorgeous to behold!
Hurt my heart watching you sawzall that bench into smaller pieces instead of just unscrewing it.
Just creates waste that then piles up somewhere and has to be dealt with, when it could very likely have been reused. Way back when renovating his previous house he had the same tendency to create a pile of mess when it could have had a use! But hey ho.
I think the principle is called opportunity/cost. So do it the quick way and you have the opportunity to do more things of higher value.
Happy Weekend!!!!
You now have a proper wokshop with plenty of light and protection from the elements. Looking forward to seeing the windows and doors made for the chateau.
Hello from Durban SA🇿🇦
The outside resembles a lumber yard … sure sign of a productive week Dan. The reclaimed wood is going to be spectacular once it is installed all over the Chateau 👍👍. Loved your choice of music today …. You and Nick clearly enjoying this type of work… Thanks for giving us glimpses of all that’s going on … no one is sitting twiddling their fingers to be sure !! Enjoy the weekend with the boys …
I remember using all those tools in shop class in high school. White oak will dull a blade in a hurry, must have some hard minerals in it.
Great music choice. Very chill.
Te agradezco el que compartas, tu trabajo tan bello... saludos desde CDMX
Great job
The boards look great, awesome you re repurposing them ! Your chateau will have so much personality! 🤗♥️🔨🪚⛏️
U did a great job getting all the windows covered & now it seem like u will have a good template for permanent windows. From cle ohio
Good afternoon from PEI 🇨🇦
Ooooo I never heard of PEI...will have to google that... Greetings
@@CatMindy2187-o4v Prince Edward Island is the smallest province of Canada.
Really beautiful wood.
Loved your music selection today Dan! The workshop is looking very professional and will serve you well in the coming months/years. I think you should receive an honorary degree from a prestigious university when you have successfully completed your chateau! I am sure you could teach entrepreneurial studies to eager students. Something for your older age.🇨🇦❤️
Did someone from Axminster come to support Dan through all these amazing machines? If not, we’ll done Dan for reading the instructions! Brilliant machines which absolutely aid the future of this rejuvenated Chateau. 😊
Actually it’s all pretty standardized.
Its considered not pc to criticise a sponsor. Just be careful.
They are a great Company to deal with Jill. I ordered stuff from them before Christmas and they delivered it really quickly. It's good quality and reasonably priced.
@@alex-b9t3c no criticism intended, it’s quite practical, in fact.
I’ve nothing from them, never had : no big dealer over here, how would I know if it’s good. But I know exactly how it works, because it’s just like mine. Even if mine are either made in Austria, Germany or France, no competitor cited here ;).
Thing is, using it is quite standard, setting it up, or maintaining it may be trickier.
@ I wasn’t!! I absolutely support this company for its brilliant machines and contributions to the chateau’s future. Sorry you took this negatively, not at all what was meant. 😟
Some of that finished oak is gorgeous!
I love watching each vid of the grand lady being brought back to life. You boys do amazing work. What makes me cringe is the frequency of Dan's cold/sinus infections. Maybe a visit to have those sinuses flushed out would help.😮
Very cool piano music!
Hi, Gentlemen, greetings from Texas..
Good evening from South Africa
Have an awesome weekend with the boys.
Master Craftman at work!
Good morning team ❤just clocking …
I’m at a big market day selling my furniture
Will watch once I’m home ( to many nana’s here 😂)
Love yeah ❤❤❤
See you later 😘
I never miss a video I really enjoy keeping up watching all the progress you guys are amazing
It’s interesting that the 3 Musketeers were always exploring the property, but are now exploring the Chateau. Should be interesting when the stairs are put in. 😉 🐶🐶🐶
BEAUTIFUL wood!
Lovely to see the progress.
All so busy and the lads out in the cold🥶😂 Lots of progress . have a good weekend with your boys ,.Loved watching see yer Monday♥
Yes Axminister & Festool are outstanding!
Each step is closer to the move in date!!😂❤❤❤
Gooood morning 🌅.
Love you all.💜💜🎶
For windows and doors a frame press is a very helpful tool. You can get them cheap all over the land.
Good morning from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺💙
My brother lives near you in Orbost 40yrs now. Wish it wasn't so far from Southern California 🌴
@@annettev8362 - Annette, Orbost is just down the road, we are the other side of Melbourne and Orbost is a five hour drive ! Colloquially Aussies say everything is “just down the road !” Australia as you would know is a big country.
Have a great weekend.
Well, same here in California. It takes 9-10 hours to get to the Northern California border
Great progress 🎉
Good progress, Dan.
Great use of the old wood ❤❤❤❤❤
It is just amazing how fast everything is going but it is taking so long to achieve too
