Primitive 19th Century Woodworking - Making a Stool 

Ron! It's beautiful!! I love it! No power tools, no going to Home Depot for wood, just a beautiful bench made by hand.

Yay! You got your own chickens, so you can count on your own eggs! Nifty hen houses Ron.

It’s good to see someone say they are going to make primitive furniture and not then immediately start up their table saw! Incidentally, I’m sure I saw a time traveller driving a car in the far distance in one of those shots! Lovely job. I really enjoy these videos.

Dear Ron hello Lad, oh that wood is beautiful and I bet it smells even better. My Pop was a carpenter and he built boats and ships on the St.Lawrence Sea way and we were always around fresh cut wood. My Pop used only hand tools of his grandfsther, never electric. So this is a trip down my memories watching you work this way, thank you for showing this to the youngsters, they most likely have never seen anyone work with wood like this before. God Bless you both and thank you for teaching real American history!

Looking forward to a new video!! We binge watched all of the Early American and Frontier Patriot videos over the last few weeks and are hungry for more!!!!

Your ease at woodworking and Justine's deft hands at cooking make a really great team

Was late for the start of the video. We have to rewatch. What I did see was awesome. Trying to teach my son that everything doesn’t have to be store bought. You need to build a coop so Justine will have a supply of eggs.

Verry good finished product! I have one of these old drills.The first owner was my 3ed great grandfather. It is almost 200 years old.Keep the good videos coming. DAVID BACK

I love this! Skills like yours are a rare commodity these days. It shows how much we have lost for the sake of convenience.

If only my purse had more jingle! The woodworking is beautiful!

This is just what I needed. Thanks for the inspiration! Justine is a lucky girl!

This should be taught in schools today.

I really enjoyed this and seeing that you've kept this type of wood working alive in this day in age of power tools is so refreshing. A person can really appreciate the time and love of doing this all the more seeing what goes into it. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Oh wow this is so cool Ron, no glue, no nails, totally awesome.

That little stool is just right for sitting on to build up the fire or to cook on the hearth!

Ron you are amazing 👏 at what you do. I truly love you n Justine . I can't wait every time you upload a video. I'm blessed to have found your channel. Thank you both for all your hard work 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 furniture 😊 is great wow 👏

Hi Ron! Love this! People in our family all watching you and Justine!

Well...you just made that look too easy, Ron! LOL Justine is lucky to have a guy with mad skills like this!

Ron that is so beautiful job ☺️ homemade stool for Justin. 🥰 Love it 💞

Ooh, this seems very interesting. I really admire what you do Ron.

While it took longer to make without power tools and modern equipment, it will also last much longer, and it is clearly of a higher quality of craftsmanship and design than what one would find mass produced today. I like it !

You are the man, Ron! Very sweet and loving thing to do for Justine!

You need to make yourself a shaving horse and get the blacksmith to make a hold fast for it. Simple devices that will help hold your work while you shape it, cut it or bore holes in it.

Nice job Ron! Love seeing the old tools & how they work. Also love seeing the surroundings outside the cabin & hearing the birds singing!

VERY NICE SKILL RON! SHARED TO THE BURGH

Nice job Ron👍

What a nice piece of furniture, Ron! Nice stool!

did not know they wore those types of beanies back in the day and this was interesting video.

Ron shows us his skills!

My dad was a woodworker and had many DIY projects to his credit. He would have liked this video.

Thank you Ron, for demonstrating such useful skills

I love watching furniture handcrafted the old fashioned way.

My daddy made a primitive stool with basically the same tools when he was 12. 1937 ish. I still have it. 🤙

This is proper woodworking

Adorable Horse!

I got a little too excited when I saw that manual drill. So interesting!

My husband, who is a carpenter said very primitive but very well executed! 😀👍🏻 Good job!

Tell Justine I had a dream about her in a red velvet, sleeveless dress.

Another great video! Thank you Ron and Justine!!

Was a bit worried at the beginning Ron but you did O.K.

cool stool Ron, thanx.

I think it's awesome you are sharing basic skills that are so lacking in society today, college kids can't even sew a button on a shirt, we need to keep these skills alive !

My dad was a woodworker..he would wave love this

Beautiful Ron, love it!

Excellent job Ron. One thing that makes your videos really interesting is not only seeing how food is made and prepared but also the way that people lived back then and all the different birds that I hear tweeting in the background and other birds that I hear chirping what kind of birds are there in your area I'm really curious to know.

Good job Ron! You're the man!!!

Good job Ron! I am sure Justine will find it very helpful.

Ok that was seriously cool!

Nicely done!

Love your video. Reminds me of watching my Grandfather who still used hand tools to make things ♥️. My husband is a big fan of The Woodwork shop- Roy Underhill. It reminded me of his work also.

I think it is wonderful that you are showing how furniture was made. My son wants to build furniture in the future. I am going to show me this video.

Nice bench 🥰👍

An enjoyable video. You do amazing work. Thanks for sharing.

Looks great, I was a little worried you were going to saw your leg in the beginning

Great work

I need a man who admires my hearth cooking and can build me some furniture.

I want the little desk you made for Justine... lololol

RED OAK 💝 GR8 JOB RON ✋💐👊🎁🌟💝🗝🌸🌿😇 BLESSINGS BELOVEDS 💖🇺🇸 NO FIRE AGAIN ?

You make that look so easy.

Would be a true treat if you and Justine would be able to do a Colaboration of some sort with the Merchant Jon Townsend and his crew. He did a Colaboration with Mrs. Crocombe of English Heritage thru the time warp.... This sort of build and Townsends builds are very useful in this day and time. Will be useful in the future to know how to do this with out the use of modern conveninces.

Pretty cedar wood.

This is awesome!

Ron, you are a very handy man. That's such a sweet bench. I was surprised that the wood chips looked pink. Did they really or was it just the camera?

Awesome stool! The wood must smell so good. Thanks 😊

Is that your own horse in the beginning? It's a beauty.

Great video

I like seeing good bushcraft with old school tools and ways. Thanks for the videos. I do enjoy them. Hope yall can make it to the Hawken Classic this Spring. It's at the Daniel Boone house in Defiance, MO

Good work .I bet Justine will love it !

Very interesting video. You’re an amazing woodworker!

Imenjoy your videos , no disrespect but is this how you really live ? I'm from united states, Southern California , so different amazing , God bless

Perfect!!!!

Yaaaaa another great video

I'll have to save this for tomorrow as it's a little late showing here in the UK but thanks in advance 💜💜💜

This is the life Jessie Pinkman wanted to do instead of making... making candy... yes... candy for grownups.

Are those the pre built Home Depot Chairs your building for us??😂😂

Very interesting!!! Is that red oak you are working for the little table? I see your hedge in the woodpile. I have an outdoor furnace that’s pipped into the house ductwork so I can burn very hot wood mostly oak and hedge. I’m blessed I can keep my house toasty especially as cold as it is going to be these next few days. I admire you both for your hard work and showing your audience your lifestyle!

Are you going to make yourself a barn and a workbench? Looks like you need it! Love the videos! By the way, I really love the opening scene on the horse

Nice! If you had made it with two legs on one end and one leg on the other it would always balance on any floor type, but my time warp experience is England’s Tudor and Stewart eras so I don’t know if it would still be period accurate!!!!

You need a workshop. Make sure you make a proper one once you have your forever homestead.

Awesome and appreciated video. Would you be interested in a old nail from my home.....1790. upstate NY all the beams are hand made. This is why I like you're channel. History.

That was very interesting, but next on the list can you make yourself a workbench? I cringe watching you saw and cut things. I understand maybe that is what it was like.... but.....surely some sort of desk would suffice?

feels like i'm watching my husband fix things around the house.

Cool.

Waiting!

1800's cordless drill😀

Dough bowls history? Can you make one?

Hello, Ron! That foot stool is quite rough, but should do the job. Please explain what "ASMR" stands for. I see it on several video titles, but do not understand what it means! Sorry I'm so ignorant. Also, Ron, you need a saw horse! I nearly had kittens when I saw you cutting that wood so close to your body! You must be careful! I was afraid that you'd slip and saw off your leg!! I care about you guys! Stay safe! ~Janet in Canada

Will you be taking up woodworking as a trade to supplement what you can earn from the crops? Something to consider during winter when you can't work the fields.

👌👌

Now that stuff stayed together not like the crap they have now

Is it a stool or a seat for Justine when she cooks by the fire? Oh I guess a little too short for that!

So, Ron has these mad carpentry skills. How is it he makes his primary living farming and wood cutting?

How long have you been woodworking? I'm impressed

What was required back then with the hand tools makes todays guys with power tools look wimpy.

ok new to the channel great work but what does ASMR stand for thanks again

Ron, where can I find a hand ax like that. Looks like it would be the perfect weight and size I need. Great channel!

Can I buy a couple?

Why not make another story where one of Ron's customers likes his furniture and commissions him to make something, then he gets another order and he abandons the woodcutting? He could have a little shop and Justine handle the customers too. Then they get some good money and start their forever home. Then flash forward to present and have one of their descendants bring a Ron creation to Antiques Road show for appraisal? I think Ron's talents are wasted just cutting wood.
