Searching for the Boundary Stone of an Early Plantation
The first settlers in any area on the American continent relied on land grants for legal title to ground. These grants were often marked by trees, stones, and natural landmarks. Here, we go off in search of the stone marker which provided a clear boundary line for our 1724 “plantation”.
How did we lose valuable portions of the property over the course of the 19th Century? There is a lesson here on this formerly rich, now overgrown land that supported a family for generations.

amazingly-simple-inexpensive-and-long
Ever wonder why historic stonework seems to stand for centuries while our modern masonry, despite the use of concrete and steel, seems to crumble within a few decades? Here is the first of several videos covering this fascinating subject.
The first trade I developed as a young man was stone masonry. It took many years but I eventually gained complete confidence in building stone walls without the use of mortar. You, too, can find satisfaction in building walls using all-natural materials and time-tested techniques.
Please subscribe to our channel if you have an interest in any of the historic trades, from stone masonry to timber framing, blacksmithing to cabinetry. And smelting iron. Our big push this summer is getting the blast furnace up and running again. Fun times ahead on this channel!

GOOD
good-help-can’t-be-found-replacing-a
After a bit of timber felling and hewing, I finally were ready to replace a 19th Century timber. One problem: a white oak six-by-six is heavy, even at a mere ten feet in length. Usually, I would have grunted my way through to success on my own. However, I managed to rope in a bit of “help”, something to which I’m unaccustomed.
We(meaning me and, hopefully, the client) are really looking forward to bringing this relatively rare building back to a useful purpose in the months ahead. Preserving a slice of 19th Century life is, and always will be, a delightful experience.

Note: First upload had terrible audio. Hope this is not totally inaudible.
Need some wall paneling ideas? Well, here’s one of many historic wall finishes to serve as an inspiration. These DIY wall panels would add a touch of character, something beautifully unique, to any home just as they have done for centuries. Making wooden wall panels can be a pleasant weekend task for the average home owner.
Wood paneling for interior walls adds a touch of class that can’t be matched by the pressboard imitations one finds at the big box stores. The insulation properties of one inch planks adds yet another benefit.
Hand planing beads is a challenge. It takes a bit of work. How long does it take to hand plane these boards? Using poplar or pine, it can go surprisingly quickly. Enough boards can be planed entirely by hand in a single day to cover the walls of a moderate sized room. Purchasing the lumber from a local sawmill would likely save money compared to the cheap but expensive materials available on the public market.
With this “how to make wall paneling” tutorial and the proper hand planes, commonly available on eBay, practically anyone can replicate these unique and beautiful wall coverings.
Wainscoting is of ancient origin and has been a fixture in early American woodworking since the beginning. Long may it last!

19TH
19th-century-life-stone-ruins-in-the
Was the 19th Century a nightmare or a dream? It was far more difficult in many ways. Diseases ripped through communities. The factory worker, the farmer, and the tradesman all worked harder than their modern equivalents. Life in the winter revolved around the fireplace and, for the more fortunate, the stove. The families were closer. The neighbors generally further. The weather, the landscape, and nature itself were not the irrelevancies they are today. The middle class was strong and growing stronger. There was plenty of drunkenness, idleness, and other vices, but there were social expectations that kept most of the slime from leadership positions. The good generally prospered or, at least, survived in some comfort. The bad and the lazy suffered.
Conclusion? If you’re willing to sweat and toil for a better life and have some natural intelligence, you would do well. If you’re idle, you would suffer and, perhaps, die.
Yes, I know, another #shorts video. Just found my mic so a full video is coming in the next day or two: revisiting building stone columns or the life of an unknown 19th Century historian or the lives of some 19th century paper mill workers.

A PAI
a-pair-of-stone-columns
Stone columns can be easy or they can be difficult. Depends on the material: how well does it work under the chisel? How much of it is available? The techniques are simple and fairly standard.
I really do love my job. One week, I’m on a roof nailing down shingles. The next, I’m back on the ground laying stone or brick. Stone masonry, though, will always be my favorite. I come from a long line, stretching back for centuries, of stone masons and cutters. Very skilled they were judging by their surviving work. One example is the house in which I live, built over a century ago.
I have no doubt that they could have done stone columns with their eyes closed. I’m not quite that good or nearly as efficient as they were.

THE A
the-appraisal-cometh-terrified
Nothing intimates me more than the upcoming appraisal. Maybe it’ll be waived. Based on my luck, probably not. I’m terrified. Anxious. Sick to my stomach. It is the last major obstacle before us. Perhaps, once the dust settles(figuratively and literally), I’ll know enough to make a presentation covering old houses and appraisals. Until then, I’ll just plug away at every detail I can and try to enjoy as much of it as I can.
