This is a compilation of the blacksmith shop build that took Peter just under 4 months to complete. He builds a log cabin structure, a stone forge and a double lung leather bellows and then lights the first fire.

Hi Peter, thank you for this wonderful trip back in time on which you have taken us. Yes, Cathy has done yeowoman’s work to make the homestead what it is and her videography skills are just great. I don’t recall that clip of you smashing your finger when the chain come along got stuck having been in the original series… I was thinking, “I wish that thing had a handle on it”. To build this shop and even more so, the bellows, is a labor of love. I think I can safely say that we, your viewers, appreciate all that you both do to bring the 18th century to life again. Looking forward to future projects.🎉🎉🎉

@@TheWoodlandEscape I thank you for your dedication to this project and know there is so much more that goes into producing “content” for us. Your part of the world is so beautiful and what an amazing thing is the technology by which we can share the experience. I think the most profound part of seeing what you do is to understand that people were truly on their own in that period for the most part. You lived or died by what you could grow and hunt and there were no antibiotics and few medical interventions to save a life. I can only imagine that human relationships were treasured not just in passing but as necessary for survival. Definitely something that we as a species have lost sight of.. so thank you for bringing that to our attention. Be well and may your cabbages keep.

Methinks Catherine wanted U Peter, 2 enjoy your perch in the shop and relish the joy of accomplishment! A daydream is rich when it manifests into a useful reality. If U R complete in your building, it's a 'good place' 2 B. An intense busy-ness will soon fall upon us all and there will B a great need 4 'those' 2 teach survival skills. Both U and Catherine R a wealth of experience. Something money can't buy. A forge has a heart, and it is 'fire'. Imagine what we could 'build' with such a 'fire in our hearts!' Thank-you most kindly 4 sharing. Health and God Bless! "I had rather be on my farm than be emperor of the world." (George Washington).

She sure had her work cut out for her with literally hundreds of clips to edit. Now about those daydreaming thoughts, some do indeed manifest into useful reality while others turn into nightmares.

Good Peter, when I think of both the drive and talents U possess with your very significant other = Catherine, I wonder if U would consider a book. One that would describe the chronology of your homestead, with layout, tips, bits of history all combined to share; 'The Woodland Way'. I 'know' it would be a good sell. You have all the material for it already...it need be only 'quill to parchment'. Just a thought, while U have a 'bit' of respite from your grand projects. Health and God Bless! :)
