Glad to see you trying to keep the old ways alive! It is an important work!!

I have been there it is really a great place to see how it was done back in the 1800’s

What state is Hart Square?

Very informative! As some one who collects Harpers Ferry Muskets its interesting to see how the process works. Thanks for posting!

In real life the Sawyer underneath word a straw hat that covered the head and most of the shoulders. It was done only when the temps was at least 95 and humidity 100%. No wind. The Sawyer on top could feel when the bottom man was beginning to coast a little from dehydration. Let someone else do it....I cut down a dead elm a couple weeks ago that was four feet in diameter. i've been cutting slabs for benchtops. With 60cc chainsaws and a Chainsaw mill attachment that glides along the top of the previous cut controlling the thickness of the current cut. It takes forever. I want to complain to myself but I think of real men pit sawing a big elm for horse or bulls stalls and think with 30degree weather using chainsaws and modern equipment and I am such a weak loser I am half ashamed of myself

Is the little one playing the spoons?

This is a beautiful chuckwagon. I had an old boyfriend who was raised by parents that built roads on the Mongolian Rim In Arizona. He was raised as a small child in the Forest with his older sister. I met him in the 90s. He built me one just like this, only smaller.

My dad was born in 1901 and said cock eyed all the time for something that was crooked including people.

Hope to go there someday.

Oh how I wish I could live here:)

What an interesting video. Great. I love all these stories about the West specially the stories around the Chuck wagons. I have build a Modell Chuck wagon in scale 1:10 and its looking great. Best wishes from Germany

pretty good, but no one seems to happy to be there, seems like there was some sort of staging

Thank you very much for this great informative and educational video - A real life history lesson! This is something else than KFC or Mac D.

Very cool. I just posted a video of my trappers cabin built in the 70’s.

My grandparents and I made thousands of gallons of cider on a press like this in the early 70's.

Priceless content! Thank you so much for demonstration.

What a lovely lady, thank you very much for your demonstration.

Wonderful place to visit!

I need to come out to this place. I'm a hillbilly from VA. Grew up near the base of the mountain my 5th great grandfather was named after, Peters Mountain. Lots of history there too.

Increased by numbers because everything is illegal now. 😂

When women knew their place.. ah .. the good ole days.. sure miss em 😜😂.. just kidding.. looks delicious ❤

What a Beautiful story, and life🙏🏻❤️

What a great video tour of the process of milling. We are building a water powered grist mill in Pottsville, AR in 2023-2024

VOICE IS MUTED

Best video I've seen on brain tanning yet Bill! Thanks! How would you recommend doing this with the fur on? Really appreciate the background and reason why you use brain. Great video!

Sandpaper? What time era does this represent?

Pitman and Tillerman in England. Both were sawyers.

Awesome work fellas!

🌸👍🌸👍🌸👍

I would absolutely love to learn how to do all this beautiful old work ….

I walked into a antique store on the backstreet of Lincolnton to buy a axe I had my eye on. Just my luck a gentleman had it in his hands negotiating the price. The store owner was not coming down enough and the gentleman laid it down saying no. I grabbed it up and bought it. That day I gad a the chance to talk with him. Found out his village was one of my favorite places in my youth. We talked about different types of log cabins and timber framework and it was like we were old friends. I believe any one that met him would have felt as I did. Thank you Bob, for being a fond part of my life. Sadly I found this video while trying to plan a day trip with my family.

I actually got my 1800's axe when Bob put it down and walked over to something else. I think going there as a kid helped me fall in love with wood working.

ive never eaten something off a chuckwagon but just the mention of them makes me hungry, im guessing from the years of film , tv and books its burned into my subconscious😁

I have to add Hart Square to my bucket list. As a hobby cook I love the whole premise around the check wagon. Maybe I can attend a chuck wagon show if I don’t end up getting lucky enough to own one. History is far from perfect but the chuck wagon is iconic. Long days, hot food and coffee. The world travels on its stomach. The chuck wagon is one man’s domain and everyone respect that.

Thank you for producing this film and please thank the gentleman miller for his time and patience. This is the most comprehensive and instructional explanation of the milling process I have yet found. Watching from England and would love to visit some day. Best wishes.

That was really good. My question would be what were the reasons that a mill stone would be discarded? The one you were sitting on looked good - why was it rejected?

To correct, Dr. Hart should have said the cabin was located "south of the current Lincoln, Gaston County line" North Carolina. Yes, in Alexis, Gaston County.

I gotta get out east sometime to try to find one of these saws. Been looking for over a decade out here in Washington state, but they never made it out this far west.

This is so cool!! Thank y’all

What a great line. If I don't know about 'em, I'll make somethen up.

Similar to molding bullets. Much prettier metal and the molds are more complex. Your team is very skilled and turn out good products. Thank you all for sharing this.

Thats Awesome!

Looks like fun... I've ripped a few 3' boards from "free poplar firewood" using my newly restored Disston D-8 5.5 tpi ripsaw. While intended for thinner dry wood, its going well enough. Better than going to the gym.

"Hot off the press" 😉 wonderful stories

Lol 😄 yep..."ponytail boy" would have been behind bars! 😄 these stories are priceless. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing 👍 beautiful dress!

Very interesting 👍 that chick-wagon guy had a LOT of work to do! 😳

Looks DELICIOUS! Thanks for sharing 😊
