He lives! Glad to see you back Mr. chickadee

[@aotranto]

The CC available at the beginning was masterful. Loved it

[@MrChickadee]

Glad you liked it!

[@ironwoodworkman4917]

I did not know he was using CC. His videos are great but the CC is even better. Thank you for the comment @Anthony Otranto :-) You added a new level to the videos for me.

[@capslock9031]

I came across this technique a while back somewhere for my cabin, but you’re the first to show it in a comprehensive way, so that I can actually do it myself now. Priceless! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@JoylessMonkey86]

Absolutely love the look and design. Simple and functional.

[@dreydj]

I am so glad to see that amongst all of this "modern" commotion, that there are some human beings that are living the real dream! thank you for existing.

[@MrDurandal25]

So awesome to see old world tech used by a new generation. This channel is a treasure.

[@maikavera7726]

So happy to see you and your wonderful work after so long...Greetings from Chile.☘️🌿🌱🌺

[@EmileTheart]

16:38 the contrast between the black charred timber and the natural timber window frame is just amazing.

[@joelongrid7625]

That's a deep burn. I would have not been brave enough to burn that long. Thanks for showing this technique.

[@andyboys5669]

Watching Mr Chikadees side burns for 18 minutes and loving every second. 😂

[@jeffrippe6559]

I’d love to be a fly on the wall if a vinyl siding salesman made a cold call at the Chickadee place. That would be priceless! LOL! Fantastic job! It’s beautiful!

[@yehmate1528]

This may sound childish, but every boy needs one, you're my hero. The whole way about you is nature respecting. We need more of that.

[@curtisvonepp4335]

Now that's what i consider a controlled Burn .

[@artist09samir]

This is a treat! Such a comprehensive explanation of the process, with multiple examples of how to do it! Thanks!

[@MrChickadee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@SparkeyDogfish]

Interesting video. Obviously you know what you are doing and like the process and how it looks. What I don’t understand is how many posts tell you why it won’t work and what will go wrong instead of asking you a question.

[@Shady-Grove]

Thanks for making this video, and adding all the detailed notes. I plan to use this technique for the exterior of my cabin build. Also good to see it can be done well with pine.

[@peggycole616]

Did this to 70' horizontal fence I built in 2021. I can still hear the crackle of the wood, heat of the torch and look of the gator. Very relaxing to revisit thanks! Beautiful

[@mintymintygogo]

Why though? Aesthetic or other reasons?

[@ThrashingBuddha]

One of the few channels on youtube from which i like every video before i watch it.

[@locohombre79]

The cravings for a new Mr Chickadee video only began yesterday… this is excellent timing, sir! Thanks 🙏

[@akt2603]

Inarguably the best video to date. This is breathtaking.

[@barbarahenn-pander5872]

Thank you, Mr Chickadee. All of your videos inspire and I feel as if I’ve meditated after watching one. I learned much about efficiency and not wasting propane in this video. I’m delighted that I got to see your face also. No talking, brief replies to questions; so nourishing. Your followers also are humorous and I laugh alot. Thank you so much. I’ll be trying this technique on fir plywood.

[@MrChickadee]

You can also just use paper or shavings shoved in one end, as Ive shown in another video, in place of the propane.

[@kennethgilbertdds7249]

Just awesome. Thanks for posting all your hard work.

[@monaminas]

Beautiful skills of a hard-working man! Wonderful result! Hat off!

[@mikellewellyn6336]

@mr. Chickadee with this deep burn into a 4/4" boards on one side, what kind of wood movement are you experiencing? Cupping. Warping. Also would be nice to revisit one of your older Yakisugi projects to see how well its aged.

[@lupeters213]

The burned side always dries, notice all the white steam coming off, and therefore contracts.

[@joecobra48]

Its just siding

[@kchansenak]

Thinking the direction of the grain will have more effect on cupping like when laying your deck wood down paying attention to the circular grain. So bark side towards house. It's wood, its gonna move and stuff which is the appeal and character over sheet or vinyl covers. Great stuff thank you for the inspiration.

[@faithwalk2cor578]

The deep burn is not for wood movement but to protect the wood from the elements and insects.

[@maodonimega]

Fabulous crocodile charring...perfection with this technique! When I did my main cabin I laid the boards flat...so much wasted heat. Building a small sleeping cabin soon and will use this method...thank you. Also love the shot of the stainless steel screws steadily securing the battens and pulling the boards tight. Kudos to you both.

[@bastiat691]

Always happy when you post a video, its so relaxing to watch your content!

[@HaroldReece]

Good to hear from you again, thanks for posting.

[@HilaRah]

Nice video work on the close ups of the fastener details, showing scale of project, and the flow of completion. Beautiful work, as always.

[@MrChickadee]

Thank you very much!

[@Belenus3080]

I’ve done this before on a barn in Maine. Lots of fun, and such a beautiful result.

[@bluesalamander8351]

impressive dedication and skill ! TY for sharing!

[@markirish7599]

Thank you for teaching me new skills. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@SteveggStevegg]

Absolutely beautiful.

[@stevenschwagel8029]

The bird songs are beautiful, of course your work is too.

[@jerrystark3587]

A very interesting and effective technique. Efficient in the use of propane, too. Thanks!

[@DigitalcaveCa]

Love your videos, techniques, and the outcome! Wishing you and Mrs Chickadee the best from Canada!

[@vikassm]

WOW! My mind is torn between "Natural" and "Stealth Fighter" :)

[@Grunt49]

Oh boy!More Chickadee

[@Booka60]

I always enjoy your posts, how you approach each job, such wonderful attention to each element. I'm sure it is enormously gratifying, making for a very content life. I also admire your patience in answering people on here...lol...

[@e3672222]

love this technique, great job

[@metavinci427]

I bought a 1860s workman cottage in Cambridge MA built with salvaged burnt timber’s from other houses. I’m convinced that saved it from termites. Wherever they used non burnt wood there would be termite damage. It was balloon framed so the sill often had rot and the first few inches of studs... which ran 2 flights to the roof plates.

[@lairdcummings9092]

Absolutely. The burnt finish is HIGHLY insect resistant.

[@mcockerham2003]

Cool and economical. Your videos are like getting a call from an old friend. An old friend with a great sense of presentation and an eye for composition.

[@hoperules8874]

Yeah, his wife has skills.

[@scottjohnson2841]

I Love how far you took it. A lot of people will char it a little. It’s beautiful!

[@MrChickadee]

Lots of people just copy what they see others here do, not the real traditional technique from japan, lots gets confused and lost in translation/implementation. Light burning and brushing and oiling was for furniture and such.

[@TheGreenAcreWI]

I love this channel so much! The filming & editing is so inspirational to me.

[@hoperules8874]

ikr? classy

[@Cliffepoos]

What a wonderful video. Thanks for teaching me something new. I'm greatful.

[@sethgrueneberg]

Flipping amazing Mr. chickadee.

[@lincolnhenrique713]

Always happy when i recive the new video notification, gg from Brazil.

[@mylena3086]

absolutely beautiful!

[@jasonborn2598]

You should see the lab experiment when the instructor burns a slice of bread. He places the burnt bread on his hand and takes a blow torch and points it right at his hand. No heat transfer. The ultimate fire protection.

[@shadetreewelding]

Yeah!!! The latest long awaited video!!!

[@kenmarapese9085]

Beautiful finish.

[@gunterschone8402]

Nice video. Class surface finishing! 👍🏻💪🏻 You rarely see such a surface!

[@pittschapelfarm2844]

I've only seen a furniture finish that's burned and brushed, but nothing like this! That was amazing. I've seen you do this before but not to this extent.

[@timmymartin317]

Another beautiful job. Well done.

[@dickdavidson3616]

This is the way to do it! Another master class , thanks

[@Nedeles]

Im suprised on how well controled that chimney fire was

[@tonybells131]

Beautiful work, as usual ! Thanks

[@kattchan1278]

いい雰囲気になりましたね。焼杉もムラなく仕上がっています。

[@jameskniskern2261]

Beautiful as always, Josh.

[@timothybryan5113]

THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO!

[@IsaacRC]

That looks really good! last time I worked with soot ended with black snots for days, really fine dust. There's an indigenous ancient tree resin, Copal, that's very handy perhaps for this kind of finish given that it's meltable and super flammable too, actually it was used in the old recopies for wood varnishes. I know this Japanese technique must have its science but I used to fixate the soot to my ceramic sculptures with a blowtorch and brushing over copal dissolved in alcohol, ultra resistant actually for a ceramic material that's hard as glass. Never thought about using it for wood until I saw this video 👍

[@renanjacob6791]

That process hapen in some poor People's house. They use a plywood tree, called "Embaúba", that wood, split straight in every side, forming planks without Saw. And they burn It to protect. Here on cost side in Brazil.

[@edrussell7960]

You say so much with no words.

[@nickg5250]

outstanding videos as always...an inspiration

[@fartsuckernerd2690]

Gorgeous! would really like to make something like that myself.

[@shedactivist]

Beautiful finish, and I bet it smells wonderful too

[@Dseated]

Want to say something like, oh this is how the fires started this year. But I know you read these. So good video, hard work. You inspire me.

[@iblong9505]

Wow you threw me for loop at the start, but the end result it amazing. Great content. Thank you

[@olddevildog773]

Absolutely Beautiful !

[@dawidkuzma32]

great idea to make a chimney, I will use it, it will make the work much faster than one by one great carpentry skills

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Looking great around there Josh! Coming along well. Fred.🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

[@Edwinwest72]

As usual all great work and no talk 👍
