even after watching the videos I don't think people will understand how much work this project was. Very well done Mr Chickadee.

The amount of confidence you had while hammering at a ton of stone while standing *inside* the structure was inspiring

The amount of effort that you didn't show us is almost as amazing as the result. Thank you so much!

Been watching you since day 1, “Coincidentally” I’ve considered leaving my job since then.

Did he learn his trade as a hand me down from previous generations of masons? Watching this is mesmerizing. I feel like this is so relaxing to watch. The talent, skill and patients is just incredible. He works at night time. Love this so much.

More brilliant than anything I have ever witnessed a single human do. You Sir are a rare creature indeed.

Welcome back, I don't know why but the cutting and fitting of key stones has always had a fascination for me. Excellent job. Regards Jim UK.

Glad you've found post service peace. Respect.

Man, this is shaping up brilliantly! Watching you, I have way more respect for our ancestors, who did things this way as a matter of course. Thank you for sharing this with us!

Even though I understand how arches work it’s still amazes me to see an arched structure get built.

I've waited a long time for this lol. I'm absolutely loving it

of all the buildings you have made this is one of the best. the stone work is amazing. root cellars were one of the important parts of most homes. my grandmother had one in the side of a mountain behind her house

Ur work is Jedi!! And you the way u capture it is so accurate snd satisfying!!! The elegance,. determination and execution is unmatched! Glad I found u and wish I had earlierly. Your humbling to say the least. Thank for sharing your masterful skills, patience and knowledge! On point and every movement has a purpose!!! Wow .

My grandfather ran a pulp wood business and was a carpenter between the world wars, and when I was young, I dreamt of doing the things you're doing on your channel. Alas, that time has passed for me. Thank you for posting your works.

That structure is beyond awesome. The coolest room all summer long.

Your root cellar is coming along nicely. When pulling the formwork it is a test in confidence that you trust your work enough to be inside while removing them.

Watching Mr. chickadee removing those wooden forms inside his cellar was both a little scary and a thing of beauty at the same time. A wonderful piece of work. Thank you.

I would pay a small fortune for a book on all of these forgotten techniques -- material preservation, structure designs, "recipes," etc.

Incredible determination, fluid skills, and consistent persistence. WOW! Cheers from New Hampshire.

Love watching him work. He’s not in a hurry, there’s no clock and no deadlines. Just doing something extremely well. The craft is what matters, the workmanship. This cellar will last far longer than any home build today.

A very trusting soul for proper cement and rock positioning while knocking out the frame from inside!! Wow..Awesome work Josh!DD

Really enjoyed this one I think a lot of people learned some Physics on this one. Lots of comments already telling you about thrust and loading, I have no doubt at all, that you have this already planned , can’t wait to see the grass growing Mr Underhill

Wow. What a work of craftsmanship and diligence. It is beautiful! And will surely have those who come after you wondering when it was built, since your methods and materials are so simple and true. Enjoy filling it with food now!

I was a carpenter for 25yrs and worked on a lot of old farm houses and I saw several of that style of root cellar. Definitely a piece of history. Great job sir!

As a carpenter who is used to working with power tools, anchor bolts, glue, cement, etc... I am in awe.

🎼 Blunt the knives, bend the forks. Smash the bowls and burn the corks🎶...

I can hardly wait to see the final result. Thank you for slowing your project(s) by filming them for us. I pray all is well with you and yours.

that's a boy any Dad would be proud of.. teaching my little son to be just this kind of man.. thanks for sharing and putting these videos together.. utmost love and respect to you amazing talented brother!!

Man the wait for part 3 was long. Hopefully part 4 doesn't take as long. Really impressed with you're building skills.

Ok this is the coolest thing I've seen in a while. I've been wracking my brain on how to support a curved vardo roof for a self made camper. The 3 minutes solved my problem. It will not be stone, more than likely it will be corrugated sheet metal or fiberglass to save weight. Thanks man. Sometimes easy solutions get pushed to the side by over thinking the problem. (at least for me)

You really gotta believe in yourself if your doing a job like this.

The basement looks great! I can imagine that the keystones were heavy. Just as you set the keystones, the bread ovens were built earlier (or today as a replica) for the family. Have a nice week.

Great work as always. I was starting to get worried about you because it was getting a bit long between videos. Glad you’re still at it.

These videos, though an inspiration, just aren't long enough. I could watch you work for hours and I can't wait for the next video.

Muscle and sinew and patience. With such ingredients comes greatness.

No half measures taken. That is a lot of work you have put in. Must be satisfying.

That is amazing! I have to say I had no clue you were removing the wood and when you did I was on the edge of my seat saying what the heck is he doing but it stayed and it is so cool

I had my heart ❤ in my mouth when you was removing the ceiling forms, I couldn't help thinking that if this roof cave's in your going to be buried inside under about 30 or so tonnes!!!. To be honest I'm so so glad that didn't happen... it's looking fantastic and I'm really enjoying the build process well done dear sir , looking forward to seeing the door 🚪 build!!!. 💯% 👍🇬🇧

People underestimate the power and versatility of a good, sharp hatchet~!

ASMR for the soul. Thanks Mr Chickadee. Excellenté

Speechless. When the brace came down, I flinched. But the roof held. Magnificent workmanship.

Patience is key, beautiful work. Thanks

I hope you are doing well. Thank you for all of the hard work and the documenting it for us. Always look forward to another video Mr. Chickadee!!

My heart skipped a few beats when you removed the supports. Thank goodness the keystones held, but a helmet never hurts!

...and to think I feel so accomplished working on some shelves in my garage.

This video deserves millions of likes!

Well said Mr. Chickadee, well said!

After seeing all the work and effort, that goes into this, how is it possible, that some people hit dislike? ...Unbelievable.

Always amazed at the patience of this man

Excellent work. Watching you build the support frames and then fit and set those keystones was fascinating. I have a sense of the physical effort, the planning, and the skill involved in this project and I find it all to be very impressive! Thank you.

I can't even imagine the effort you used to cut all of those stones..,..😮

YEEEEES FINALY PART 3 :D your builds are awsome , and ibrealy enjoy watching your videos

Вы Мастер с большой буквы. Россия смотрит)

Very well made. In South Korea, there is also an underground storage warehouse made of stone called “Seokbinggo,” which is a traditional method of storing winter ice until summer.

Rien de mieux qu'une vidéo de Mr.chickadee pour s'apaiser avant d'aller dormir.

Love your stone work abilities, just amazing. I really like the way you showed how to do the arch.

This is completly amazing

It's so good to see you again it's been awhile and I'm glad all the projects are moving forward 👍🏾

Solid work sir, thank you for bringing us along.

Thanks so much for showing the process of creating formwork! It's something I've always seen diagrams of, but the process has always eluded me.

refreshed at the right moment 45 seconds after release!

Thank you, this reminds me of my ancestors they used to build similar root cellars except they were digging bellow the surface about ten eleven risers the more risers the better the root cellar was considered, as a matter of fact we inherited one of this root cellar and it's better then a fridge. Great work, thanks again.

That is trust in yourself, and confidence in your work. Congrats.

Amazing craftsmanship and equally good camera and editing. Thanks for the content.

I’m sure you’ve heard this many times, but my God you are a Master ! Wish it was possible to apprentice under you .

I can only imagine, how satisfied you must have felt, taking the wooden construction away at the end. I'm surprised, you didn't do a little happy dance - I would have 😃😉

Incredible. Heart skipped a beat when that ceiling support came loose.

The weekend just got better.

What an amazing build! You have incredible skills, I'm amazed at the amount of effort it took to create that arched roof . Can't wait to see it finished and filled with food!

I am sure you've forgotten more than I will ever know. Well done on the build, your skills and knowledge are to be applauded.

Absolutely wonderful. Thank you

Bravo Sir!! A grand feat to be proud of.Can't wait to see the door installation.

Also more more more! Love it! Best project on KZfaq right now!

Amazing, you are a real craftsman Mr. Chickadee.

Amazing stonework and the cellar looks great.

Excellent video. Thank you for making it. Stay well.

Watching you do these things in this day and age is so rewarding. Thanks for all your hard work and documenting it for us. Amazing work.

An incredible amount of work

A positively inspiring series, please do a part four.

Incredible! Fantastic job. No one builds like this anymore. That root cellar will last a thousand years. LOL

thats a super cool build, now if there was a covered passage from the the castle to the root cellar/ stable for a fast get-a-way,, oh just a beautiful build,, cant wait to see it finnished

Honestly the relaxing tones of a man at work in nature and the fascinating work you do makes me excited every time you upload a video. Very chill my friend!

I can’t imagine how long it took to cut and fit every single stone. Then you lifted them all yourself? My back hurts just watching this. Truly remarkable, man. I really look forward to your uploads.

Really nice work. It's a joy to watch you work, keep it up.

Je tenais à vous dire que je trouve vos réalisations extraordinaires et que vos méthodes de travail méritent tout mon respect

Wow, it’s beautiful. Amazing work.

It was like getting a dose of Mike Haduck with Mr Chickadee today.

Well THIS is amazing. Now I need to see more of your videos. WOW.

I admire as always, and I also feel like I have so much to learn when watching you!

Excellent work and thanks for showing us how it’s made!

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

You are an amazing craftsmen. Very inspirational to watch. Patience and perseverance....

Mr. Chickadee’s skills never fail to impress!

Off the hook! Thank you both for the inspiration you provide for my life!

That part where you remove the support for the top stone curve is exactly what masons building in the Byzantine style went through. The head mason would stand underneath while the other men would remove the support and if it stayed up and the mason survived, that was the measure of his work😂 really cool to see that building method used here.

Your are a hardworking man !

Man thats an owesome Cellar very beautiful too, thank you for the video

You are one awesome dude. This video made me happy. Congratulations, that was big.

Fantastic work . Well done.

You one smart cookie ! excellent workmanship luv your tresses.
