You aren’t afraid of hard work obviously! A great balance of brains and brawn, sir. 😊 You have inspired us to re-do the floor under our wood burning stove😊
Wow what a great job. Granny use to have a smaller potbelly in the small house she heated the whole house with. She would fire it so where the belly would glow. When you walking in the house within a half an hour you wanted to know off the sleep. It was so toasties in there.
It was neat watching the whole process. My favorite part was probably the stove watching you take it apart put it all back together. My husband owns his own Refractory business, so it was awesome watching you work with the fire brick. I like your videos because you show how they did back then.
Thank you for the video! I have my great great grandmother’s potbelly stove and now I know what I need to get for its restoration! I’ll tell my dad and he will probably come get it and do it.
As always, enjoyed watching the project take shape. Thank goodness Lavender was available to supervise and keep you on task..heh heh. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Jerry, I completely agree with you on both points; thinking about starting something because you know how much work's gonna be involved and when it's done, it's done! You did a great job there and you get to see and enjoy the results! Nice job! From Sophia, N.C.
As a degreed physical education bachelor's I'd say that all your work makes you physically fit. By the way the tinkerers box is a insulated room in my garage on a slab. My unattached hose is old over 108. I don't plan on moving. So if my old hose falls apart I will be living in the tinkerers box. It is the first time I have owned a home.
I'm sure I could have watched a lot more of this process. Loved watching the hearth building. Like your daughter, though, my stomach had the willies just watching you both near that hole!! After having built a very short rock garden edge wall, there is nothing more satisfying than placing a stone that fits perfectly next to another, like they were separated at birth! Beautiful work, as always.
Thank you very much for sharing this restoration. Really a lot of hard work but a really beautiful stove. I wish you a lot of pleasure with it and hopefully it will last a few hundred years. take care.
That rock floor aint goin no where😂🤣👍👍Stout to say the least. Beautiful results brother Jerry, well done. Be blessed 🙏🙏 from Idaho. I just built and installed a woodstove in my truck camper, works awesome also. 👍
Absolutely gorgeous potbelly stove. Your install was perfect in every way. I have seen many through the years. All had metallic outer rings, whether brass or chrome. None had black. Interesting.
Nice cabin. In the future can you show us the construction in the basement supporting the rock, concrete and stove? 😁Definitely going to hold and radiate the heat long after the stove goes out. Great refurb on the potbelly/parlor stove. Subscribed 😊😊😊
Not only is your new stove cool, but I really like that big wooden mallet you were using as well! Very cool. And...your "stone work" continues to impress! Great job. Beautiful work brother. PS: I didn't notice you putting any steel reinforcement into your concrete pour.. I hope that doesn't come back to bite you later..
Beautiful stove and great work my friend has one and needs some repair this has been very helpful. Thank you. I just found your channel and subscribed. Thankyou
How many 6x6 did you use to hold up the floor with all that wight with all the rocks and wood stove very well job thanks for the video God bless you and your family amen
I looked up automatic chisel and a similar set up found on Amazon....Short Barrel Air Hammer Kit with Quick Change Retainer and 4 Chisels. 😺Like the stone hearth floor. Wonder if u could do moulds of barrel exterior to make 3 rounded black ceramic tile pieces. - to give more radiant heat. Any excuse for a large kiln. Restored stove looks terrific. Nice style 🌭🐕☕🍁🐈
Really interesting and nice stove.. no disrespect intended, but I really have to ask how all that weight is sufficiently being supported by that one timber?
Q? Hey Jerry, What affect if any does having a very tall chimney have on efficiency or percentage of the gasses burned etc? Also, will that cause the gasses to cool off before exiting leaving creosote in the chimney etc?
That is a very good question. A none airtight stove like this is different than an airtight stove. These old stoves tend to get a much better complete combustion meaning burning up all the smoke. No smoke coming out the chimney. Yes, a straight tall chimney like I have helps tremendously. Now with an airtight stove that doesn’t get complete combustion you do have to be careful because it will build more creosote in the chimney.
Ha, didn't you just say a few videos back that you wouldn't be doing any stone work in the near future??? Great job and glad your body healed and held up.
You need to find a strong young man to apprentice with you, help with the heavy lifting and learn all the skills you have to pass along. These things are becoming a lost art.
Do ir right do it once. In the mean time hunt some game for food. Get water from a creek. take care of kids cut stone with rock wedges and wooden mallets shoe the mule plow the garden cut firewood fight Native Americans maybe, make lead bullets, find some flint make powder, My ancestors walked from South Carolina coast in late 1600's early 1700's settled in Imbodine Virginia, guided for Boone later guided for Pike they came with what they had on their backs from South Hampton England That's what makes a homestead. You are self sufficient out of necessity no Walmarts down the creek. Good job. That big post will hold it. Like that electric chisel. Seen times I could use one of those. GGGF was stone mason His chimneys are still standing, cut smooth four ft by 8 inch by two ft blocks no mortar smooth fit. All good from east Kentucky USA
Loved the post,,, but the redundancy of doing that is beyond belief. My box wood has been sitting on an slate slab,joined with mortar for 38 yrs,,right on the flooring.....as have countless others since cast iron stoves became normal......i have even saw sand pit boxes with a pot belly sitting there.
Thinks for showing a pot belly stove burning wood. Every video showing a pot belly stove say, “ it’s designed for coal and wood would ( pun not intended) burn too quick. Do you have to use seasoned wood. Can you burn pine? How often do you have to load the stove on cold days? Read the comments. Plenty of great ideas for your next video!!!!
That is not a pot belly stove.. It's a parlor stove.. They are my favorite stoves for ascetics but they are horrible for heat.. They are very thin so no mass and they eat firewood like crazy.. You can't leave the house for more than a couple hours at best or you will have a cold stove
@domading2759 I’ve been burning this one since I put it in and it doesn’t go through wood like crazy. As matter of fact it holds a fire all night long. Yes I would agree it was probably meant for coal. But all most all stoves back then had shaker grates. I do have coal but it’s getting harder and harder to find.
@@logcabinlifestyle if you are lucky enough to cut off some of the tramp air then your one of the few.. But there is still no mass.. The walls are thin and retain no heat therefore give no radiant heat.. That said..they are beautiful and I love them, they are just terrible for heat
I liked how you brought 2000 year old technology for moving heavy objects into play. Well done.
Jerry,
Another great video. Thank you for taking time to build, film, edit and post this video.
Your very welcome
That new (old) stove is beautiful! Great job fixing her up. I love the the ornate designs on that stove. Great job on the stone work too.
That stove is just a thing of beauty, and what a work is going in to it. ❤
You aren’t afraid of hard work obviously! A great balance of brains and brawn, sir. 😊 You have inspired us to re-do the floor under our wood burning stove😊
Very nice!
It looks so good. I’m sure it will last a long time. Beautiful

Good job there buddy, it so relaxing watching other folks work. That stove should see you out! Enjoy.
How in the world did you accomplish all this with a badly injured shoulder!? Beautifully done! Wow
Do you believe in miracles? I do.
Thank you for the video! I have my great great grandmother’s potbelly stove and now I know what I need to get for its restoration! I’ll tell my dad and he will probably come get it and do it.
That’s what dads are for!
I’m so amazed with your talents God has surly blessed you
🇺🇸🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼🇺🇸 I love all your carpentry skills that you have just like St. Joseph
As always, enjoyed watching the project take shape. Thank goodness Lavender was available to supervise and keep you on task..heh heh. Thanks for sharing.
I enjoyed the video very much. Thank you for taking the time to post. Great job! Take care, "Poverty Hill" Brian
Nice, I love that rocker too!
Good job on that stove , and AWESOME. Intro to the video my friend . THANK YOU FRANK FROM MONTANA........
I really enjoyed this video! You are very kind to your animals and family.
Thank you. They are part of our family.
Darn good job. I wish I could get a shot of the basement to see how you constructed everything to hold such weight. Always enjoy watching.
Remember the titans.
He could have been talking about my mother(inlaw). 😊
I also wonder why he used such large heavy stones? seems like a great deal of weight, wondering why he didn’t just do a flagstone hearth?
I wonder how "level" that is?? 😊
Me too, it must be a ton or more
Good job Jerry. Very impressive. Emily was a big help.
Thank you my friend, she was!
@@logcabinlifestyle absolutely amazing stonework Jerry.
Good morning!!! It’s beautiful 🔥🔥🔥🌿🕊

What an ingenious gadget for lifting bricks!
Called brick tongues
thank you great show
Great job! Thanks for the video,
Wonderful! It is so nice to see what you do and how you do it. A wholesome experience with a man that is working hand in hand with God. Bless you.
Thank you Brother
Thank you for showing me the definition of man God's wonderful creation. You're his master piece and that beautiful pot belly is yours ❤❤❤🦁🐑🕊

Great job and well worth the work you put in!
Love the long-form video!
Thank you
That stove is awesome! Love the stone work!
👍 AN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME VIDEO..LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT...GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG MAN AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTER AND THE FUR BABIES 🐾🐾🙏 AND YOUR MOMMA 💕
Fantastic work. Also, i like the longer videos.
Great vid, TY.
May YAH Bless.
Absolutely gorgeous potbelly stove. Your install was perfect in every way. I have seen many through the years. All had metallic outer rings, whether brass or chrome. None had black. Interesting.
I believe these were nickel plated at one time but someone painted it. I’m kinda the same. Don’t care for the flashy
@@logcabinlifestyle I get it. Looks cool.
The cat with the hammering of the floor joist really surprised me.
Great job
great job!! from south korea.
Welcome
Beautiful room.
Nice job! I think I would paint some of the cast silver.
what a pair of beautiful stoves!!
If you ever want to part with that smaller one I'd be interested in putting it into my tinkerers box.

Lovely stove, great work
I would have thought you would have loaded secondary fires from the top. Can that stove do that? Beautiful stove and cabin, btw.
I’ll do another separate video of a more in-depth video on the stove. But yes it has an 8” hole in the top
Beautiful stove and great work my friend has one and needs some repair this has been very helpful. Thank you. I just found your channel and subscribed. Thankyou
Your welcome and thank you
Wish we could have seen from the basement the full support. We just went from vertical beam to concrete being spread. Cool video though.
Beautiful Video. Happy Thanksgiving.
AWESOME!!!!
Thanks Jerry
I will be putting one, in my new Tiny house. Soon.
How many 6x6 did you use to hold up the floor with all that wight with all the rocks and wood stove very well job thanks for the video God bless you and your family amen
There 2 6x6 and the one 12x12 I dropped in the video
AMAZING
Really great work. What's the tool you use to split the rocks called?
I looked up automatic chisel and a similar set up found on Amazon....Short Barrel Air Hammer Kit with Quick Change Retainer and 4 Chisels.
😺Like the stone hearth floor. Wonder if u could do moulds of barrel exterior to make 3 rounded black ceramic tile pieces.
- to give more radiant heat. Any excuse for a large kiln. Restored stove looks terrific. Nice style 🌭🐕☕🍁🐈
It’s just a power hammer
Very awesome!
very interesting and impressive.
She reminds me of myself when my husband asks me for help😂😂😂
Your cute cat sure is interested in what Dads doing down there framing,, lol
A beautiful addition to your fireplaces. And a lot of work.
How often do you think the barrel portion will have to be replaced? Might need a extra one for a couple years from now? Just curious.
This would have been the first time since 1896, so I’m guess by 2150 it will need done again
Un saludo desde Barcelona España
Greetings
Really interesting and nice stove.. no disrespect intended, but I really have to ask how all that weight is sufficiently being supported by that one timber?
It’s also on the house foundation but that’s one big timber and honestly could probably hold 10x that weight
Was that a bird that flew by at 27:16 ? 🕊️ I really enjoyed this video,that floor is solid,well done ✝️❤️🤠
The door was open most of the day. I think it might have been a fly
@@logcabinlifestyle ,I thought it was cool,you sure have a beautiful home ,praise God ✝️❤️🤠
@ thank you, and yes he is so so good
Q?

Cool. Ty!
Did you have a lot of over spray to clean up? Nice use of the burn barrel
No, none at all. That paint drys very fast
@@logcabinlifestyle Cool. Excellent job on that stove
Ha, didn't you just say a few videos back that you wouldn't be doing any stone work in the near future??? Great job and glad your body healed and held up.
Yes, I did! Just proof that I don’t get to call the shots
I'd like to have seen how the stones were supported.
Sweet, what about the hay?
You need to find a strong young man to apprentice with you, help with the heavy lifting and learn all the skills you have to pass along. These things are becoming a lost art.
How's your shoulder?
It’s getting better
Just a bit of my parents humor.
How is that slab supported? By that single timber? Curious. Thanks.
It’s also sitting on the basement wall
@logcabinlifestyle thanks, I read further comments and I understand that there are 3 timbers...Great video!
Is that a Glenwood Oak 30?
next time nail / cement 2x4s, for any timber width...
Looks good. I feel like you could of had an easier time if you painted those pieces outside instead inside 😂
Too cold and windy

Good morning
@@logcabinlifestyle I know you said the potbelly stove can also burn coal but are you gonna burn wood in it most of the time?
on the carpet?
Yep

You could have made it a lot thinner and cut down on weight but it’s hell for stout

The Young woman in your video couldn't be more enthused.
My daughter and she doesn’t enjoy hard work like I do. Also she was afraid of that hole in the floor. All in all she did great and I needed her help.
Dont get a hunia!
Why in the world would you make the hearth with stone that thick and heavy

Was your wife happy with what you did to her carpet? I guess not, nice job.
No wife to worry about
Now you have black dust overall. And in your lungs too.
Exactly why I’m not married,
Not a pot belly stove ... parlor stove
The beard needs to go
