So, so interesting. Thank you for sharing from Belgium. Happy new Year 2025

it is very interesting

That's some weak tea you have there. 😉

Ok, I'm not a carpenter and never will be. I don't have the genes and genius required. And yet, this video is very interesting.

Your no different from P&G your promoting products yourself. Its all about Money.

I've got an experiment I'd love to see you try: You know those little hand warmers that use a thin long rectangle of charcoal, burning as an ember inside? It's a pocket hand warmer that uses those pieces of solid fuel. The trouble is, you have to order those pieces of specifically made charcoal online, and for much more than they are worth. Do you think you could come up with a way to make those at home? They don't seem to be made like standard charcoal briquettes. It's almost like they take a charcoal powder, combine it with some sort of fuel, and then press it together into a long thin rectangle stick. But there's no fuel scent, it burns very gently, slowly, smoke free, and it doesn't flame up.

Subscribed. Thanks for the information

Use flour as a binder and less water.

Uh.... When I read the title, I thought you use the briquettes to dung plants by bury them under the vegetable plants (especially in plant tubs). I did not expect you burn them.

Keep the Preston and the unmarked old one and der umm hmm don't sell the stanley

Put Shims under the ash can to get the proper height that works best. That way it not a guessing game

Jamie, there are a couple of channels I follow because they are so authentically themselves and their content aligns with who they are. You are not making the latest how-to-cut-dovetails or how-to-sharpen videos, you are making videos about whatyou’ve been about that you think might be interesting.

I love watching your videos your very talented. From a fellow brummie. I'm struggling to get a release bladder for my repair. Do you know where I could get 1? Many thanks ❤

We used to cut holly for the sheep to eat the bark in bad winters 50 years ago, I had trouble with a lot of movement in holly when I made something with it years ago and not used it since, but it was only 1 year dried. Making a shave horse would be a useful project. Best wishes for Christmas and the new year.

Looks like Marge Simpson outside the window there 🤣

Powdered graphite is used dry, to avoid dust sticking to the oil. It can/could be bought in powdered form in a puffer bottle for this purpose. My Nanna used to "draw" on the underside of any sticking drawer runner with a soft pencil & it worked very well.

Gooooood morning 😁 I'm here for 30 minutes, if you'd like to say hi 👍 Or ask me anything Jamie

I’m trying this right now in Tupperware’s

Well done on all your progress!!!

I love your analyses of the possible variables. Playing in the fire and messing with wood are two of my favorite things but I’m not an expert at anything. BUT, the way I understand it is the grate is mainly used for coal. To burn your briquettes or logs you evidently don’t need the grate. And if you want to make sure you have coals (embers) in the morning you must leave the grate out. The matting of the hot embers makes the bed for your morning fire. It’s the way I was told to do it by the old folks who cooked, heated the house, heated the bath water and clothes washing water from the wood stove or wood cook stove. There are lots of ways and then there are the best ways. I appreciate you producing those high quality waste product briquettes. They are worth their weight in gold! Thank you so much!

I think you’re really getting a quality product by your changes and additions. I’d love to have a contraption like you have there to compact the briquettes! Did you build that?

Jamie, I think the reason I enjoy your videos is that you are so authentic and they are so organic. I doubt that the algorithm cares about such things, but I surely do. Thank you sharing, and happy holidays. Your friend, Stu

Interesting projects! Fun outtakes-they made me chuckle.

Brilliant video as always. Very engaging and love the outtakes too. Keep up the great work

Hey everyone. I hope you are well and looking forward to the Holiday. Come and say Hi 👍 Jamie

I still read the Laura Ingalls autobiographies made famous by "Little House On The Prairie". One chore for Laura and her sisters was to gather up the wood shavings and dust from their dad's woodcutting etc in the yard. They'd have nodded at your wood shavings briquettes. Great video as always.

The sheer common sense of your videos is a blessing to the brain. Even questions that I haven't thought to ask are answered. If a person can source wood for free, then purchased briquettes and logs etc don't work financially. But if it's all to pay for, that's where the comparisons might be useful. I am low tech, a real life Fred Flintstone or Barnie Rubble. But I have made cardboard shutters for my windows. Cut the heavier duty cardboard(*) to size, a few mm wider than your windows. Envelope them in wallpaper(*). 1/2 window ones in the daytime. Full window ones dusk to dawn. Brace them with bamboo canes (*). Results ... save 1-3c heat depending on weather ... to my mind way less ugly than heavy wooden shutters. (*) Skips, especially DIY stores have plenty for free.

Good job. Hope they never have to cut anything more than 3 feet long!

If you want to make it yourself just google for WoodPrix. I know you will find good solutions for all your ideas.

Just watched this. Excellent.

Jamie nice one mate sold mine to much faffing about 😅

Good job. Its because of bad design like that people dont change blades when they should. Mine is a Black & Decker/ Dewalt 1310 the predecesor to this I think.

Very interesting Jamie 👍

Well done Jamie great video

There are metal press machines with lots of holes to squeeze the water out, 4 bricks at a time. It takes much less time to dry out. I saw a video about it, the man making the bricks mixed the coffee and wood shavings with paper

Fascinating.

I enjoy your info & content, just came across your site & I'm subscribed!

Because wood from lumbar yards and big box stores like Home Depot/Lowe’s etc are treated, is it really safe to burn, even if combined as a fraction with other components?

So how much creosote do they produce compared to logs??

Working a shave horse in a woodland with birds, smells, the atmosphere is incredible

I'd love to make an adapted shave horse so I can perch upright and keep my spine straight. We'll have to have a brainstorm when the workshop is done. I've still not been to Riverside. Looks a great space.

Ah, what a great shave horse! I do not have one, but I am working on putting my workshop together. ❤

Nice to see the shave horse getting an outing. Made me think if a collapsible / fold away design would be possible for one of these? Looking forward to seeing how you solve the leg extension requirement.

What a gorgeous space to work in, there's something lovely about working outside even when it's cold. Your shave horse is a work of art in itself let alone what you make using it.

Very timely, Jamie. I’m smitten with green woodworking and plan on building a shave horse as soon as I finish the Christmas gifts I have in queue, it’s nice to see someone show that a drawknife can just as easily beca fine tool as a coarse one. Also love seeing you work outdoors. Our winters in New Hampshire, USA are not conduciveto that kind of thing.
