[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Thanks for taking me to this house! Super fun tour and amazing details!

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for joining me, we need to do more.

[@DrMJJr]

LOVE seeing you Richard collaborating with Brent!! I remember watching Richard and his buddy doing wainscoting projects many years ago so this is a real treat!!! Hope you both have a long and productive relationship!! ♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@FinishCarpentryTV]

Haha! 😂 At 6:11 you actually put Leonardo Dicaprio in the video. I’m dying laughing😂

[@BrentHull]

Austin is the best.

[@DrMJJr]

IKR 😂 lolol

[@Fedgery007]

This is unreal! How long would this have taken to build? Richard…you’re in the big leagues working with Brent now! Ha ha!

[@BrentHull]

Haha, probably 2 years.

[@echoewest2685]

That’s a beautiful house, thanks for the tour. I watch Finish Carpentry too, your two channels are good compliments to each other. Keep it up!

[@BrentHull]

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback.

[@risalangdon9883]

Another absolutely fabulous work of art!!

[@BrentHull]

Agreed!! Thanks.

[@andrewkennedy9704]

Love these tours

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for watching.

[@Fedgery007]

It’s so crazy to see the craftsmanship back them. Just makes the new homes today just look like builder grade trash. The bar is set so low now.

[@BrentHull]

I agree.

[@A2DaJGaming]

Can't wait to check out this Podcast!!! Saw Richard's video with the sneak peak of the Pod, and it looks really informative.

[@BrentHull]

We are having fun, we can't wait to share it with you guys.

[@pcatful]

I like your conversations with Richard. I'd like to see more.

[@BrentHull]

Ok. Thx

[@eldontyrell4361]

Those glazed green tiles on the outside and the roof are insane!

[@BrentHull]

I know right!

[@The_HomeHandyman]

Amazing detail!

[@BrentHull]

Thanks! Agreed!

[@kylehardy4805]

I'm so glad you guys are restoring Thistle Hill...I work at Cook Children's and can look out the window from above and look at TH and l often do. Such an amazingly beautiful place. Can't wait to watch the transformation and see the end result.

[@BrentHull]

Glad to hear it. Thanks.

[@jasony9950]

I’ve been following Richard and have enjoyed his teaching aspect of his craft. Let’s see more work from both of you guys. Love it

[@BrentHull]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

[@sethhamilton5824]

One of the things I find amazing is how quickly and how widely the knowledge for this design style spread. From design to craftsmanship the ability to pull these interiors off was prolific (even far less grand homes carried many of these features over). It seems like no one understands proportion, or how to stack moldings today despite the internet and video. It boggles my mind how it "just happened" back then.

[@BrentHull]

I totally agree! Its the Lost Art of Building. We have to get it back. Thanks.

[@juliekendrickdelaney757]

You are so informative. I am planning a building series in Minecraft of housing styles and plan using info about the styles. You are making it VERY easy to tell what the differences of Federal vs. Georgian vs. Greek or Colonial and others. This makes a huge difference when building to capture the correct style using the least number of blocks to mimic the correct style. Thank you.

[@BrentHull]

Good to hear. Good luck!

[@SupaFly10579]

How gorgeous! It's amazing how they did this. I would love to see pictures of these homes being built. When my father in law was a kid, he needed to learn a skill. He was taught by someone in his town in Italy to work with wood. He came to the states and made money building homes. His son worked with him his whole life but learned nothing of his father's skill. The son stopped working when his father retired and got a job hanging signs with the city. When the father dies, the skill will go also. It's sad.

[@BrentHull]

That is sad, I agree we need to hold onto these skills.

[@theothermarshal]

Absolutely stunning... so inspiring. Thank you for taking us along! Also, I can so relate with the two of you on the steps bending low to look at details.

[@BrentHull]

Haha, thanks for watching.

[@SpanishEclectic]

So much gorgeous wood! I don't do woodwork myself, but my late grandfather was trained in furniture making in England, starting in 1917, so I have an eye for quality. I have two small inlaid wood Art-Deco tables he made. Bird's Eye maple has a luminous quality that I just love. An incredible house. Really enjoying your videos.

[@BrentHull]

Awesome. THanks.

[@eldontyrell4361]

Stunning house. Can you show more B-roll in your videos, or just keep the shots a bit longer? A second channel for B roll and detail would be cool if it would make the videos here too long.

[@BrentHull]

Thanks for the input. Good idea.

[@zachrawlings6523]

Yall make a great team. Props to you both on your involvement of the other. Mad respect

[@BrentHull]

Thanks so much.

[@neilvandenbrink5758]

Loving the content guys. Australia, being a much newer country than the US, has few examples of higher style interiors. And what we do have is far more simplistic and in what we commonly refer to as Federation Style. I think I need to make a trip to the US at some point. Keep up the good work.

[@BrentHull]

Cool, sounds like I need to make a trip there as well.

[@Tony-InLosAngeles]

😊

[@BrentHull]

😀

[@jacalli]

Incredible house. Being in Texas, why is there a fireplace in every room? I've never been to there, watching from Ontario.

[@BrentHull]

That was the wealthy way to heat rooms. Lesser houses used gas heaters.

[@jacalli]

@@BrentHull interesting, what a fascinating house

[@artwerksDallas]

I lived in Oklahoma years ago. A small but expensive shopping strip mall had a collection of Sticking furniture valued at around $50,000 to 60,000. Some guys came into the hallway of the offices dressed as workmen. Loaded up the furniture and put it on the uhaul truck and drove away. Never to be seen again. That's how popular the furniture was back in the 90s

[@BrentHull]

Crazy and terrible. Wow.
