Another great video! You have the magic formula - self-reliance, self-sufficiency, public personality, a wide variety of skills, top of the line videographer and editor.
The setup you do for each video segment is amazing. I can only imagine the total time and effort it takes to do a 30 minute video. I suspect you have at least 6-8 hrs of effort invested in each 30 minute segment, if not more. But, you seem to be a natural to just include the video capture as part of your normal work routine and then take the necessary time to do a very professional edit. I only hope that you can keep up the pace for the next several years so we can all continue to enjoy your contributions.
You are the next generation of Richard Proenneke using the latest technology and techniques to educate, inform and educate. What a legacy you are leaving.
Thanks for coming into our homes and sharing your life’s journey. Bravo!

that pop out window could use a pair of weather strip bits on it's edges. I would suggest the type like one sees on the bottom of screen doors one near the front outside and one near the back inside. the front can be on the window itself and the back on the workshop. then the gap around is blocked by them if it gets a bit breezy use some closed cell foam like one gets on laptop keyboards essentially a roll of 3 or 4in wide stapled to the window frame between the weatherstripping contact points.

This set up will probably work OK, but it is safer to spend a little more and use real fire brick which is usually yellow, and real refractory cement. They can handle more heat without getting the place burned down. Also they don't aborb moisture which can turn to steam under heat and blow up in your face. It is very dangerous to do welding on concrete, because it can contain surprising amounts of molecular moisture that turns to steam and can violently explode like shrapnel without warning.

I have the same wood stove in my hunting cabin. I did a mod to it to keep smoke from rolling out of the door when you feed it by installing a sheet metal flap on hinges just inside the door. You push wood in and the flap moves then drops back down to block any smoke. Also reversed the damper so it actually works instead of being too closed off.

Glad to see your making it New and Improved.
Hope you and Mrs. James are enjoying the BEST TIME of YEAR.
Fall is the season, The old Bibitzenburger brought back some of my memories of the 70's - 80's.
The bow hunting was a Happy time for me.
Take care and Thanks for your Video's as ALWAYS.
Give that Yeller dog a big hug for me.

Greetings from here in Finland, I have always wondered why in Canada the intervals between cherries are sealed with some mass. In Finland, when the log frame is assembled, a strip of insulation wool of a suitable width is placed between the logs, which is enough to seal the gaps between the logs

Is that sheep fleece your using to insulate We found that in the wall of my parents house when we did a remodel. The house used to set in the country and was over 100 years old. Now it's right in the middle of town and still warm. we put the fleece back after a good cleaning.

Look for an Aladdin kerosene lamp sometime Shawn, they burn 10x brighter than a standard one. Plus, they are very nice to look at. Make a nice reading lamp too. With the new stove, less burns loading it and more room to cook on. Your little shop will be nice and cozy this winter

There is obviously an art form to making arrows, I've noticed this in your video. Wood carving made me think of Doug Linker. I'm sure you're busy enough with all your projects but having him and yourself ( I didn't realize you carved) in your workshop carving would be nice.

Great work Shawn! Be careful with that little stove when you put wood in it, I have one and put a piece of wood through the Ceramic that recirculates the smoke to the pipe and once you get a hole in it the ceramic starts to fall apart. About $80 US for a new ceramic.

I’ve always wanted to ask in the big new cabin you have the Cook woodstove. Does that small little fire box heat that whole cabin I know you insulated it very thoroughly but I was just wondering if it’s up in that cold to have such a small firebox

A very satisfying build video Shawn. Thanks for posting.
I think you'll find that stove will provide plenty of heat for your work shop. I have one just like it in my kitchen and it does a fine job. It's also good for cooking!

When you built that shop, I thought, No way! He'll never use any shop that small! Lol. I think it was a rush to get out of your other cabin, away from possible trouble, maybe But I knew it was gonna be enlarged at some point!

You're really improving the workshop, more than I thought you were going to do. I remember about a year ago you mentioned adding a bedroom onto the cabin in 2024 but unless mistaken, you've changed your mind or delayed that project.

Was just about to head off to bed, saw this pop up on my feed. Thought about leaving it to enjoy tomorrow morning, but of course couldn't resist and have now cracked open another beer and will sit down to enjoy it now!
