I have to give a big shoutout to the gentlemen working in the basement who are doing such a fantastic job of restoring the basement walls to their original glory!!!! It’s so great to see real artisans at work!
yea! What are their names, Dan?!?!?!
I know that my arms and shoulders hurt just by watching them working over their head like that 🥴
After the great transformation in the basement, I am really looking forward to seeing the outside work on the building! ❤🇨🇦
The main guy's name is Aurélien @@StizelSwik
Great job indeed. Though take care to watch the carbon monoxide levels, especially in misty weather
Dan you should put a plaque up in the basement naming the artisans who've done such a great job down there , they deserve it.
Who knew stone walls could be as beautiful as art work. Amazing!
I commented the same thing a few months ago. That would be awesome😊
Primarily Nick and Brian !!
i agree!
Agreed! Those basement walls are beautiful. Those guys sure know their stuff. Impressive!
The stone masons are absolute artists.
What are the names of the French boys stone masons? Please we can teach then English.
@@irenebrown8363how good would it be if we all learnt a little French
@@yvonnestobie-qt2ng There's always an assumption by English speakers that the rest of the world is supposed to accommodate their lack of effort. 🙏
Greetings from Australia. I'm glad you keep showing us the legendary stone masons. I'm going to miss them when they eventually go
❤love the work they are doing❤
Those raw boards look beautiful.
The basement is a pure joy to see
Love the head shakes after the dad jokes
You just can’t keep Nick out of the machines! Good lad 💪🏼
So excited to see Doors on rooms in your basement. The stonemasons have done amazing work on the walls!
It's so cool that you are milling some of the lumber for the chateau. Merci to the gentleman who donated it!
Glad to see Nick and Brian Back to help! Good Darth Vader Joke! The stonemasons are Artist. Awesome idea using those boards in the basement!
From my husband. You should run a copper ground wire from the output of your machines, along the vaccuum hose back to the vaccuum itself. Common ground will stop static explosion and fire. You don't need that.
Another said the same some time ago, and that was one of the few times Dan answered in the comment section: "That's a good idea". So maybe and hopefully he' s already done that...
Yup, very important.
That extractor hose is made up of copper wire and plastic
the hose is already wired with copper wire through the loops that allow it to bend. But yes, the metal waste pipes should be grounded separately. Good call.
Good Lord....the detailing those masons do on the mortar is SPECTACULAR!!!
I look forward to Brian’s jokes almost as much as I do watching the progress on the chateau.
That stone mason is crushing it , it’ll look amazing with lighting in the basement.
The stone masons are doing a great job.. and they look pretty good too.
are they even real when they don't have a Gauloises hanging out of their mouth?
Absolutely amazing!
I never smoked, I can almost smell the strong tobacco! My father and two brothers have died from smoking tobacco. Happily U.S. I scatting down on smoking. I'm 80 and live almost smoke free. Occasionally, I see people using the electric vapes...... smokers keep away!
Love my daily fix of chateaux shenanigans! Thank you guys for the fun in each day .
That wood is going to beautiful in the basement! ❤
Wow, that is alot of work to process the timber. Now I understand why its so expensive. Brian please keep up your jokes. My son-in-law thinks I'm a comic genius!!! ❤❤❤😊😊😊
😂😂😂
The basement is looking fantastic!!
Dan, here in Canada those (what we call live edge) boards are worth an incredible amount of money. They are used as tables, countertops, charcuterie boards, etc. They made really interesting show pieces. Kudos to the stonemasons also, amazing work.
Jeanette makes a great point! Obviously you’re going to process the aged oak into doors exactly like the person who gifted you the wood intended. However, the raw edges shouldn’t be casually discarded. They can be glued to the edges of oak veneered plywood shelves/tabletops for a very high end finish. There are a ton of woodworking channels with videos about this.
Raw edged antique Oak!!! If you can keep a piece or two, they would make beautiful kitchen countertops!💜
Also, I'm amazed at how even and flat the vertical faces of the old stone work is. The Masons are Artists repairing Artwork.!!!
Great Stuff!
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Those edges are stunning. It would make wonderful furniture.
Incredible Craftsmanship from all the men working on this project.
So delighted with the rejuvenation of chateau Chaumont. Dan and now extended team, Bravo!
So much goodwill and support for Dan and team as they work so hard to rebuild this chateau. 🤘🏻
As a carpenter please be careful using the planner/ thickness as your jacket could get caught in it as lost the tip of my finger slightly , keep the videos coming
I noticed that right away as well. Loose clothing and woodworking power tools don’t mix!
Working in A/E it’s all to common to see loss of fingers and degloving trauma from planner thickener pulling lose clothing in machinery.
Yes for sure be careful.
Remembering that time my sweater sleeves got caught up in the belt sander. Took me to my knees in 1/2 a second. Be careful.
Carpenter here too ... YES, THIS!
I'm a huge believer in repurposing old wood materials when possible, especially a project like the Chateau. It adds a sense of warmth and strength to a home as well as a historical dataline. Great job
Agree
It makes my evening watching your channel. The dedication, the camaraderie, the humour, it all works . Fantastic 👏👏👌
Same - only wish the daily episodes were longer….
So now I will comment, Glad to see Nick and Brian Back. The basement looks amazing
The key element in having a dry building is a properly functioning gutter, splash guard and flashing in place…..
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
The masons are amazing. I love that you can reclaim that wood for the doors!
The basement looks stunning. What a great job by the masons.❤❤❤
six hundred and fifteen thousand. almost proud to have been following (from my chair) from before the beginning. And now, ordered some cutters for the spindle moulder to make doors?! be still, my heart.
sending you all the spare karma I possess. heroes.
Yep, Dan, a lot of character, everywhere you look! ❤
I see Brian is getting his dog fix. No wonder they love him, especially Lottie. I’m sure off camera he is giving them pets, belly rubs and getting his face thoroughly kissed.
Doors, then Windows. Roof with its slates...Awesome.
The guys in the basement are doing a wonderful job. It's not Brian's jokes, it's Nick's reaction.
The basement looks amazing. Doors will change the look and feel of the chateau. 🇨🇦❤️
What a lovely job the masons are doing in the basement. I hope these videos showcasing their wonderful skills get them a lot more work - after they've finished in the chateau of course 😁
Loved the processing of that timber you got. A bit scary that big saw. Amazing how it’s not perfect love character. Yay! Real doors. So cool. The look Nick gives Brian during and after his joke was priceless 😁
The basement looks fantastic. Good to see Nick and Brian again. Never ending progress.
Love processing the old timber , it has it’s own character and history. Loving your work and seeing the progress in so many areas. ✅
Something about bringing old wood back to life. It reeks of history
Great video as always!
Must be time for Nick to come along in his Viking outfit again soon! "Nick the Viking"!
He should do that once a week for a while!
Beautiful basement walls!! They obviously take great pride in their work. Indeed, it is a pleasure to watch as you recreate whole chateau from the ruin it started as.
Dan, wow, doors! Masons are moving mightily along, as are you, Nick and Brian!! Terrific!!
Every milestone in this epic project is an adventure...or perhaps, maybe it's the crew (and dogs)...
Love the old wood use its so pretty!
Dan, I think having knots in all the wood you cut is lovely, no two are the same so definitely adds some character but also they are not all uniformed, different is good
Good morning team …
Woooooooow Won’t be long before there are home made beautiful doors hanging…
Love the reclaimed timber…
Brian 🤭
The basement is looking sharp ..
Dan you have the best team ever 😊
We will see you tomorrow ❤❤
Excellent drone footage today. Hello to the Viking! I bet the boys would like that😅
I love Brian's jokes, even funnier with tge breathing mask.
Doors will make a huge difference and the lumber with knots in them would look great in the basement with the stone. I’m excited to see what it will actually look like. Things are moving quickly.
Dan PLEASE be careful with those loose sleeves while operating the joiner. It could easily get snagging on the plainer blades and drag your arm/hand into the machine.
NO loose clothing, jewellery, etc. near that beast. Especially when thinking "This needs only one more pass."
Another fun video at the chateau! I look forward to these every day. You are all so talented and do such beautiful work.
Hi Dan, Nick, Brian and mason brothers. ,❤
Love and blessings to all.❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Brian: "How Darth Vader knew what Luke Skywalker was getting for Christmas? He felt his presence!". 🥰
The PUNisher strikes again! 😆
Darth Walter - This is right.
@@athertox Sorry, not Wader but Vader,
I didnt got this one, care to explain ? 😅
@@baptiste312 It is word play between presence and present (gift).
Capping looks great
Still shaking my head. Brian! Your jokes!! They're sooooo goooood!! The wood you got is going to be great for doors. Can't wait. The ring seal looks great from here.
YES, I totally agree about the old oak in the basement! Which is why I suggested using 1 piece as a live edge sofa table.(long narrow table) It’d be beautiful against the stone wall.
Late posting but always thinking watching will be the best part of my day ❤
Tip: A simple way to remove small knots from a nice clean board is to drill it out with a Forstner hole bit and plug it with a similar piece of wood by matching grain and color!
He said he liked it rustic ok for the basement.
@@concerned430 Just another option!
@@josiatokirina1788 No just another misunderstanding. That's not an opinion.
@@concerned430 By You. As an experienced wood worker, my option tip is spot on! He can also leave the knots if he wishes. I just hope he fills them with epoxy so they don't fall out in the future.
It will be great to see doors going into the chateau to divide up spaces, it will be different certainly. Keep up the great job.
I love the look of the reused timber. The knot in it just adds to its beauty for me. Great job guys 😊
Looking good guys! Love when all of you are together!
Awesome video Dan 👍👍👍
I can not wait for the Waterloo day at Chaumont. The replacement of Tarpoleon Blownapart on the roof. Cheers.
Genius 🥹👏
🤣
😂😂😂
Tip: Use a quality paste wax on the surfaces of the planer and joiner and table saw, etc. Make sure to polish off the excess after completely drying to avoid wax getting on the wood. It will help the material slide better without sticking, and also protect the metal from corroding.
The perfect team performing a miracle!!! Every video gets better and better Dan!
Wow the wood looks stunning after all the processes…. They will look amazing 😊 once the doors are up … so much stuff going on it’s a little hive of activity and so great to see
Love your aerial views, not only breathtakingly beautiful but shows how majestic your chateau really is and the land around it! The basement looks amazing, what hard workers🤗♥️🔨🪚⛏️
Your team in the basement have done incredible top notch work. Looks absolutely brilliant. Those stones are an beautiful, great artwork. As for your re-purposing that wood, sjoe man, looks magnificent! From the slope of Table Mountain....
The 3 musketeers are back together again!! Love your jokes Brian....so does Nick....lol!!
Brian! You actually made nick laugh BEFORE you told your joke. Amazing. lol😅
Hopefully, when the masons get done in the basement, the can move upstairs and start repointing and replacing some of the brickwork that is seriously deteriorated. Eventually, they could work on the chimneys. I understand you don’t intend on using any of the fireplaces. But to complete the restoration of the chateau with two chimneys missing on the left side will look like a stag with half its antlers missing. The chateau design is very symmetrical. Please bring the chateau back to its original symmetry. 👍🏻
The stump of the missing chimney is buried under a steel beam. I also hope that the 8 dormer windows in the wing roofs will not be deleted also.
@@cosmolittle1395 He does intend replacing those windows later. Re the chimneys, yes, to me it doesn't look right, and as you say, one can't be replaced easily now.
@ you’re probably correct. However, the chimney could still be rebuilt on top of/ straddling the beam. It’s not going to be used anyway. It’s strictly ornamental, but is for historic accuracy and symmetry.
And yes, the eight dormer windows must be replaced for the same reasons.
I sense that as Dan grows his subscriber base and his corresponding RUclips income grows, he has more $$ to invest in the chateau. Witness him hiring three masons to work in the basement along with Nick and Brian. His payroll expenses have ballooned. Wait till the materials budget starts to grow with the roof and interior.
The slate roof is going to be expensive, but he has already purchased the tiles. But he needs to do the chimneys and dormers first to be able to waterproof the structure.
You’re going to have the most beautiful basement in all of France
Hi Dan and crew, It's nice that you are all back together working on the Chateau again. Be safe using that new equipment, please.❤🙏
That is some really cool kit!
Say when? When ? .... guys best joke today 😂😂😂😂😂 and as always you simply rock 🎉
The lack of ear protection is astonishing. The top comment about the jacket and the planer is accurate.
You must be new here.
@Satwamassive yeah you old viewers have normalised and accepted this dreadful example of workplace safety. Every episode is full of shocking risks. These guys set such a bad example for all the diy'rs out there watching.
@@CG-99sad, but true
@@CG-99the RUclips police is out
preaching - maybe mind your own business - you do as you please - let others do as they please 👍🏻
@ I like freedom of speech/expression as much as you appear to but I’m sorry pal you are totally wrong on this one, when 1m people are watching some of these videos there is a certain moral responsibility on the owner of the content to set a decent example consistently through the content - it’s not just his own personal safety that is at fault but also those he is employing - it is like watching workplace videos from 50 years ago - this sets such a terrible example for viewers doing a bit of diy building at home.
good afternoon, thank you for the updates!!
Love the pleasure in your face at the end then Dan, thinking about finishing parts of the basement. That wood will look really lovely. Your inspiring.x
Another spontaneous Dad Joke from Brian, love it!
Another fabulous day at the Chateau
Thanks Dan!
Door in that place are a big game changer 👍🏾 exciting!
Some of that timber would make a fine dining table
Everything is going very well, congratulations. It should be noted that the basement work is a true work of art.
Who'd have thought that wood boards and pups would make my day (hey, I've been in the kitchen cleaning all day so this is definitely my highlight!).
Great Idea - We used reclaimed wood for all the flooring on our house (maple) and once stained it looked magnificent - we used ipswich -minwax stain colour and it really brings out the grain..
Can't wait to see them build the doors.
Nice to know the chateau is on, rock solid, foundations. Those basements are bloody bonb proof now. Well done.
Danke!
Starting in the basement and processing the wood is a very good idea. It will get you used to the equipment, figure out it's quirks and all that. The place is really looking good!
Thanks for posting a video so we can see the progress. Take care guys.
Thanks Dan for a better view! Hauling all that mortar seems like and endless task but WOW when it's laid down it absolutely beautiful!!😮😮😮❤❤❤❤❤
Brian- Good to see the mask in action! 👏👏👏 Look after your lungs!💖
LOVE watching this show! Those basement walls look fantastic! Thanks, Guys.
This is so exciting… watched since day one when you walked around with an idea, with a plan, and you’ve never faltered… love it 🎉
Everything you.guys do is exciting Dan.
The stone mason is doing a great job. Love the wood knots and all ❤
The reclaimed wood looks beautiful! Brian with the dogs and the jokes, and Nick's reaction to the whole Process of telling a joke is just brilliant!
Its all looking good. Loved watching. See yer tomorrow😘
