    Do you ever just stand in there, and look around, and think...
    I built this, with my own hands.....
    I just think its fantastic that you are building this without any power tools. This is real 'living history'
    Thank you so much

    Is that a great kitten or what? We had one like that....little grey-face. This is the type of carpentry grew up with and did in my life with very little dependence on nails in structures and the reclamation of used wood. When we built our new house in 1957 we tore down our huge old house and each day when I came home from school I would, along with my usual fram chores, reclaim the old lumber.....brings back the memories. Thanks.

      Magnetic iron dust is an easier way of finding metal in reclaimed lumber. Much more accurate, too.
      Not as easy or fast as a battery powered portable electric metal detector, but I figured you'd like a simpler, re-usable method.

    The characters in Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream" that put on a play within the play are tradesmen/craftsmen. Watching you coax the joists into place demonstrates how very appropriate was the mane the Bard gave to the Joiner among them: his name was Snug. I am really admiring the care and precision of your work.

    • @craigmooring2091
      @craigmooring2091 7 лет назад

      He did not give him a 'mane'; it was a name. It nearly broke my heart to see that you had to take down the masonry heater. Were you able to save most of the bricks?

      "What's in a mane? That which we call a Rude Mechanical may under other stars be called 'Ass', and 'Bottom', but Snug is The Way, and Mr. Chickadee is your Guide Pursuivant." I think that's how it went. I'm not sure.

    I subscribed a while back. When I need a "boost of life" I watch you enjoy another day being a fine craftsman and that makes my day enjoyable!
    The skip plane of the flooring and the bottom corner chamfering of the floor joists are a nice touch! If you do another loft floor, and need extra space, adding a cantilever to the floor joist might be a 'nice look'.
    At 4:45, as one of my oldest carpenters would say, "that's a fite tit", lol.
    Btw, awesome art work for your channel logo and great camera work!

    Shop is looking fine. The oak boards you install into the loft look as though they still have patina after you planed them, can faintly see circle saw marks. I like that, too much (looking for word) Fancifacation these days. But folk are starting to appreciate fine joinery and good work a little more each day that passes. Thank you for your time in making the video and keep a craft alive. Well done

    I believe you have taught the kitty the wonders of measuring and the wonders of spring loaded shavings ... GREAT JOB Mr Chickadee! Now for a question ... when working on these reclaimed decking ..do you keep a magnate around to double check if you have removed all the nails? I am scared of hitting one with my plane. I just thinking out loud.

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  8 лет назад +3

      +L Gorman Yes Charles is enjoying his apprenticeship... Ah yes, the only downside to reclaimed wood, the dreaded nail... not sure if a magnet would work, I try to double check before planing, but alas many times I have hit a hidden nail and had to regrind my iron, its def good practice for sharpening though! haha

      On your blog you wrote, that the house does not insulate well enough for the masonry heater. Do you think that there is any way to make it better insulated? Rockwool maybe, it could maybe let "breathe" the walls.

      +Joseph Mckay I've heard that before machine-made nails existed and they were individually smithed, that people used to burn houses down just to get the nails.

    I notice that you only use wooden planes, why is that, what is the benefit.

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  8 лет назад +1

      +Andrew Morgan I do use metal planes from time to time, though I prefer wood. There are a few reasons for this;
      1) Wooden planes glide with less friction on the work
      2) they are lighter, hence less tiring to use, especially for extended sessions
      3) They burnish the wood as they cut leaving a better finish
      4) they are faster and easier to true the sole, you can flatten a woody with a plane.
      5) The older ones have larger, wider, thicker irons which dominate the work and give more results for each pass.
      6) They flex less than metal, you can actually twist or bow a metal plane in use.
      7) they are BEAUTIFUL! ;)
      Great question!

      Thank you for your help, do your comments remain the same for Japanese planes, or are there differences? It is harder to find the type you use.

    • @MrChickadee
      @MrChickadee  8 лет назад +1

      +Andrew Morgan Ive not used Japanese planes, most of the types I use can be had for a few dollars at most antique stores or flea markets around here, if you can't find a certain type I would look on Ebay, Ive bought 90% of my tools there, including all the planes you see in my videos. You will find many videos on RUclips for restoring them, Id pay close attention to the cap iron set up, it can really make your plane, reducing or eliminating tear-out with our against the grain.

      +shane stamball Its not crazy, its the best way to do it, and the way it was done forever, until we all got lazy. Id save the money on a crane, get or make a block and tackle and make a capstan, you can move the world with these simple tools!
