I really appreciate just being able to watch you work without some annoying background music. Thank you!

Peaceful. Educational. And inspirational.

This is a pleasure to watch and learn of how to make this type of joint. Hearing how sharp the tools are is simply SICK. Very clear video, very clear to the viewer of how you utilized the carpenters square. The end results is that this video will help others to raise their level of carpentry by means of a higher level of confidence. Well done my friend.

Thank god there are still men like you about .

I think a tear came to my eye when that joint came together!

I love his work . I could watch it all day.

Your videos are so awesome Mr. Chickadee! I really respect your use of traditional joinery and how sharp you keep your tools.

I just want to say, as good as your woodworking skill and craftsmanship is (which is excellent), the camera work and editing is fantastic. Go Team!

I love this old classic carpentry

Anyone else ever taught you couldn’t mark your lines with a pencil, had to use a sharp nail or carpenter knife when using hand tools.. least that’s what my papa always showed me... Reason is it makes your “first cut” all the rest of your cuts follow.. great video and work. Excellent job!

Who IS this Man of Mystery? Dude real tight with the wood work!!

Beautifully done. It's fascinating to watch and the tranquility of the location, just the birds and the sound of mallet and saw for music. Perfect. It's not enough to say I "liked" this video, I love it.

So inspiring to watch thank you. I cannot believe someone would give this a thumbs down. Jealousy will get you nowhere. Well done.

One of the most satisfying videos I've e experienced. Musical even. Thank you..

You are an inspiration Sir. Its so encouraging to watch your work. Thank you for sharing.

One of the best video series I have ever seen. VERY informative and unique in its approach. I Love your style and outlook. Such valuable information for any homesteader.

I love the joints you make! Thanks Mr. C.

you sir are a god amongst insects.....good for you...

What I see is a joint that will not slip or sag under a heavy load. A joint that will last a very very long time.

Excellent work. No words to describe it better.

My wife loves that you say nothing in your videos. I told her you have a voice like Daffy Duck with studdering issue! Your work speaks for itself!

Truly amazing craftsmanship. Talent loaned out from God. Thank you for sharing.

That's a clever joint, I like that

Fucking hell mate, that`s craftsmanship right there.

i love this channel

What a JOKE! hahahha awesome work there mate! So cool all this joins.

Its a great joint, well done

I’m always amazed at your work ? How do you come up with the correct angle to cut your dovetails when timber framing ?

Well, that was awesome!

0:20 Ahaha. Cursive writing! I wonder how many can read it. I just love your channel.

Was just watching you put that oven together ,thinking about the good bread that will gracing your table ,what times dinner again ?

Simply awesome

Amigo tu es um genio nunca vi nada igual aqui no Brasil

That's freakin cool.

I want some of these chisels

In the next video, he'll show us how to make a new pencil.

*Mr Chickadee* Could you please tell me why you used a big wedge on this joint to secure it, while on other joints you have used a through peg in a hole to secure them ? Why use different methods for the same result ? Thanks.

Fantastic!!!

If a pictures worth a thousand words....I've just watched an encyclopaedia!!

Being from E.Ky have you had any dealings with cordwood or familiar with GFCC up in Carter Co? I spent some time in Mission work over in WV, McDowell, and just love that general area in the Appalachians. Thanks for sharing what you're doing!

you sir are my yoda

I admire your work two questions Where did you build your house? How long did it take you to do it? Regards from Cancun, México

was the angle of the wedge also used to measure the angle of the dovetail? Many thanks

Nice 👍

I see the wedge you drive it from inside out....in other tutorials they said it must be from outside in... I like this way ...so the wedge don be a factor in case of a wall outside. Man...i just realize it is called blind, becase the tenon do not go all the way as through tenon does ??....so the only way to drive the wedge is from inside out ? 😯

Talent!!!!!!!!

you are king!!!!!!!!!

May i buy you some pencils? 🙂 love your work and videos!

Man, that's a pretty joint.

Wish I got to see where that was going in the structure

Hey ! Are you taking peoples for training ... education ? Fasinating skills you have multiple of. Where do you live ? Exellet stuff and well done ! Thx allot for sharing !!!

Looks like your in Appalachian Mountains? Maybe North Carolina?

How is the first beam attached to the stone foundation?

A. That is an awesome way to sharpen your pencil, and B. How do you get your chisel that sharp??

Bravo

where did you come by the knowledge to do all of this?

You could hold those two pieces off wood together with some welded steel plates and some screws, most people won't care but time will care, and your soul will know!

Is that Poplar?

That shoulder has enough bearing area?

👍👍👍🙂

I really enjoy these videos and, having done a little bit of old-school joinery myself, I can easily relate on so many levels how satisfying and even..."therapeutic" it can be as well. I too am a veteran. However, when the time comes to get that dry fit together after all of that time and effort invested in the project and you quickly see that there is a fundamental flaw due to a wrong measurement or reversed order, the emotional effects are shall we say a little more"intense"! The first thing that crosses my mind is "I had all this extra time to catch this screw-up by using hand tools! How the Hell could I miss it???" Can we see a "Mr. Chicadee Out-takes" video one day? I guess "Bloopers" are not required since there is no verbal dialog. Just the occasional "Meow?" in the background. Finally, the though occurred to me recently while watching one of these videos; wouldn't it make sense to film them, either fully or in portions, in black and white or with a grainy, old-timey kind of monochromatic filter? Keep up your fantastic contributions to the conservation of heritage and culture with these brilliant videos! And thank you for your service!

My like 1,8 mil
