Hi Honey. I Whittled You a House
I love hard work. I could watch it all day.
Of course if I tried this, my shins would look like James Bond’s bedpost in no time. But these dudes know how to use an axe properly. Knowing is half the battle. The other half is knowing how to sharpen axes. The chopping is just busy work after that.
I’d love, just once, to use this guy’s giant, Fred Flintstone mallet. That’s the key to getting people to work this hard. Make it fun. People will line up at a county fair to smack things with a big cartoon mallet. Might as well get some real work out of them.
I think all the houses in Detroit should be demolished, and log houses like these should be built in their place. All that fresh air, sunshine, and hard work will fix the “idle hands” problem. Also, log houses will stop a high-powered round during drive-bys. It’s a win-win.

Fascinating. That was some kind of ax work. I wasn’t expecting the floors to be pegged like they were. I had always wondered how they did that. Hope that doesn’t become a lost art.
craftmanship
attention to detail and
pride in one’s work
very commendable.
My son (3 3/4 yrs) loves stuff like Bob the Builder. He runs around the house “fixing” everything. This is a little slower-paced than a kid’s show but I think he’ll really love it.
