18th century spit jack, stone fireplace, log cabin

Cooking a pork butt in the stone fireplace at the cabin using a weight driven spit jack from the 18th century and from the land of D'artagnan the famous musketeer. Gascony. This spit jack would have been used at the richest of the rich homes or castles. I purchased it from Philippe in France and built the pieces I needed to get it useable. Come along as I share just a little of my story and put this old piece of history to work, as we bring 2023 to a close. With a strong message of family, and faith.

I remember when we put together that fireplace. Each and every time I'm so thankful you invite us over.

[@stinkypants150]

Thanks for letting us into your home and doing this. I find the videos in your home by the fire with your words and tone, there's something magical about it. The tone of voice matches the ambiance of the room well. This kitchen, the fireplace, the lighting, the atmosphere, the dog. It brings peace of mind to the mind, body and soul. These videos inside your place bring me to a place and a time and put me in a place I'd rather be. A nice escape. I find that I was born at the wrong time. Thanks again for this video. It's appreciated. Thanks for making 22 minutes of my day a more peaceful and calm experience. May you have a good year ahead. May it be a peaceful and content one.

[@logcabinlifestyle]

Thank you so very much for your words, they inspire me that I’m doing what is right.

I love spit jacks, and seeing what I consider the Cadillac of spit jacks in action. I am so happy you got one as I know you will get good use of it. Would love to see how you built all the parts to make it work for your hearth, as well as videos of it in operation in the future. Wishing you and your family all the best in 2024!!!

[@MASI_forging]

How awesome, such a great work 😃😃

[@jonathanbehmer5495]

Hey Mr. Tyson, I enjoy watching your videos and your down-to-earth style. I have repeated watching your videos several times. I love your "life in the cabin" as you would say. I have the alarm set to watch future videos. I hope to do what you do one day. And to build when I own land. Right now I am growing financially and living in a small apartment. I am a fellow Christian too, and I love your biblical theology inspired life stories. Carry on and God bless, Jonathan.

Happy New Year my friend. Yes, that is how close to off-grid that a person can get, and Yes again, truly royalty living. Shelter and food were the bare necessities for most, and yet, your surrounded with many comforts that a family would not ever have except in dreams or conversations with people of great wealth. It would have taken several generations to amass all of the items, and the cost would be far out of reach for even an "above average" family. I'm at peace watching your working kitchen, listening to you explain your work and your vision. Thank You!

[@logcabinlifestyle]

Thank you so much for the comment! Sometimes I ask myself, do I keep going, or do I just stop and slid right into this lifestyle completely. But as long as people enjoy it I guess I’ll keep going

A very Happy New Year to you and yours. 🎉 God knows the desires of our hearts and what trials we are able to handle. The renewed relationship between you & your daughter is a wonderful blessing! Sending prayers from our family to you both for many more blessings in 2024. (Here in NC, we typically eat pork, black-eyed peas, collards, and cornbread for the New Year). My late father-in-law was an antique tool collector in his spare time. He would've loved watching your channel.

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye.
