Masonry Stove and Stone Stairway | Complete Build

[@ozlinx]

Pretty obvious it wasn't just my eyes lighting up with seeing an extra episode pop up this week 😆Great to have a recap of what turned out fantastic, looking forward as always to Sunday 🙂

[@NielsNL68]

It took me a while before i realized this was a recap of the stove build. At first i was thinking did he not finished one already, where needs this one be placed .... etc.

[@moccasinlanding]

My word, yes, I had a moment of WHAT DAY IS THIS???? What happened to Friday and Saturday 😂 such a treat

Turned my Thursday into Sunday. Nice to see the recap of the stove build.

[@dianeteichen5720]

I know that the weekly video editing has been tireless and sometimes tedious work for you! But what a joy for the newcomers to your channel to be able to comprehend, in even a SMALL part, the work that has been done by your masterful hands! They still need to see the videos from the beginning to fully understand your dream and your day to day accomplishments! You're my hero and I wouldn't consider my Sunday complete without seeing you and the chickens, following you around, clucking their joy when they see you coming to open their hutch! 🤗💕💕

[@davidyendoll5903]

Agree . I subbed after watching this , my first viewing . Beautiful work and design filmed very well by a pro for himself .

[@kvk1960]

Can we just give a shout out to Martijn's KNEES?!? No knee-pads, no spongy cushion, no stack of towels ... every week I marvel how the heck does he do that on stone and concrete floors for hours at a time! Tge man is a wonder of nature! Just love him!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@joycegronenthal2560]

No back support, take care Martijn

[@pegsbarton6353]

A good way to see the stove build, faster and more concise, but not forgetting all the huge effort to perfect the finished build. It looks absolutely beautiful Martijn, you must be very proud. And I can almost smell that bread!! It was also beautiful, but very sad, to see the black chicken again, before the dog attack. You can really see how much bigger the white and brown hens have grown since little Blackie was killed. A lot has happened, and when you see time reduced like this it shows very clearly how hard you have worked to get where you are today. Well done, and thank you for the huge amount of work you put into producing the videos for us each week. To do all that on top of your physical efforts on the build is truly a testament to you Martijn.

It is amazing how much work can be done by one person who just keeps banging--day after day--until the job is done

[@GlobetechtruthJF]

I was surprised to see the stove build this week...my plan is to introduce this in my build in western Canada where the temperatures are mid range through out the year as we are mountainous prairie conditions here, however, be interesting to see how this stands up to our seasonals and winter here, may need some backup but looking forward to the heat this produces as well. Nice to see this episode in a build all of its own from start to finish which will be included in a must see video to my builders who assemble mine here. Thanks for the memory and recap. Martijn, this build is by far the most impressive work I've seen in my 50 years and counting as a builder and now building sciences engineer. It must be the mountain air in addition to dedication and a will to do better. Cheers

[@lucelebeau3024]

Either you love to labour or it's a labour of love. The end result looks like a functional piece of art.

[@jasondk5127]

And out of left field comes a Martijn video! Awesome!

[@moccasinlanding]

The building of the masonry stove separate is a work of art.....the stove AND the filming of the build such a pleasure to see the whole poetic process. Such stand-alone episodes deserve their own day of the week to note video focus is "different" somehow. The building of the fire, such a sensory experience, such a symbolic one as well. Home....you've made a Home.

[@Toromboloize]

I'm so impressed with the speed in which Martijn learns new skills! Stonemasonry is VERY uncommon yet here he is chiseling that stone like this was the olden days and stone was the only way to get construction materials.

[@jaasonmorton4058]

Happy to re-watch this content/video. Just a pleasant surprise for a midweek video. (The kettle is on, and I'm taking a 53-minute break.) Awesome!

So Impressed just by the drawing, I subbed and have yet to continue watching the build. I can’t build to save myself. Saw, hammer screwdriver sure but any other tool I’m lost on their names and how to use. I know this is going to be amazing. That drawing did it for me!

Hi Martijn! What a nice surprise to see a post from you today! 😊 Thank you for reminding me/us of how your stove works. Last Sunday with all the snow and you working in the room with no fire I had forgotten you did explain prior that it would stay warm all day. Enjoyed watching the start to finish of the stove build, enjoyed seeing it as a whole. It captures how much heavy work was involved! It’s good to see you reaping the benefits during the cold winter days, happy for you in your cozy cabin! See you in next video. Hope you are having a good week! 💚 from Texas

[@JamesGroce-p2l]

Thank you, Martijn. Loved going back and seeing how you conceived,, planned, and completed a very complex build.

[@weewillywanka5904]

I met the proprietor of Tempcast 20 years ago at a log home convention in Ohio. I eventually purchased on of these units when I built my own custom home. I was incredibly impressed with the engineering of the pieces. My understanding is that the crushed gravel for the concrete mixture comes from a quarry in Georgia, USA. When I Had a young family we cooked many excellent pizzas in the upper bake oven. Average cook time was 4-5 minutes once the fire in the combustion chamber died down. Those are great memories for me. Putting the pieces together with refractory cement, ratchet straps and packing tape then mixing mortar for my father who laid the bricks for me. I even drove up to Canada to pick up the unit in my pickup which I still drive today. That was pre Trudeau and after 911 when a passport was not required.

Ive been renovating places non stop for 3 years on my own. As a female with no help and no family to support me in Australia, Sunshine coast where trades are either way out of my price range or not worth having, and or dangerous to have around I've learnt to do it well by myself. Exhausted I flop onto my only place to flop, my bed, and dream about my travel plans. I hope my tenants don't wreck my dreams 😢. I hope they respect the work I've done and look after my home.

[@zlatan_2197]

This was such an undertaking, and in my opinion best project you've done so far. It's much more than rebuilding something, it's literally creating something out of nothing. There was nothing there before you imagined integrated oven and staircase that will connect two floors for the first time. It took me quite a while to visualise what you had in mind from the beginning. Congratulations on job well done.
