Old-fashioned Doors and Horseshoe Hinges - The FHC Show, ep 24

In episode 24 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac shows how to build and install old-fashioned wood doors for farm and homestead outbuildings. He also demonstrates how to make lumber for the door and door jambs without a sawmill, by splitting up a couple of logs with handtools, as well as constructing a simple wooden door latch. Then Pa Mac fires up his old coal blacksmith forge and turns regular old horseshoes into rustic hinges for his log chicken house door.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm, homestead, or permaculture lifestyle. (And be sure to check out the General Store for Pa Mac's books or DVDs at www.farmhandscompanion.com/gen...)

My grandfather in the 1920's would gather together enough wood to build a shack with three rooms with a couple of windows an old door the roof was tar paper as well as the siding no insulation no plumbing. These were built in a wooded area so it didn't matter if he owned the land or not just collect the rent. By the 1960s he did upgrade to building some in some small towns and did buy the lot and made indoor plumbing but still a tar paper shack none the less

Hey! Love your channel. If you are wondering about the horizontal stripes in the video from your camera - It's called interlacing, and can be removed before editing.
