Great demo

HA! HA! HA! I'm sure that works great in the PNW but not in Missouri! I wish I lived where you live my friend!

omg.......you have just made me so much smarter............now where to get this digging tool?? I just have 4 T-Posts to dig............ wow, thanks so much for sharing your wisdom

That is gravel, not stone.

Thank you ❤

I Like It! Thanks! Papa

Looks like a good idea. I tighten the chain much tighter than it is when I'm running the saw, and that seems to work well for me.

This is a great idea I have always struggled

Thanks for all your great ideas.

The digging bar I use was forged by my great great grandfather from a wagon axle. I also use a chisel from a coal mine about 3 ft long and a short handled sledge. I hit the top of the chisel a few times, smack the sides to get it to wiggle, repeat til I get the depth I need, pull the chisel out and drive my posts. We gots lots of sandstone here, if we're lucky there might be some dirt too so the extra effort with the chisel saves the effort of arm breaking post driving through 4-6 inch stone slabs.

Excellent video and great timing for my upcoming project! Many thanks!

This doesn’t seem to be oil based paint.

In Australia it called a crowbar

We always called it a pencil bar

It's so true! I'm amazed by comfrey. I'd like to learn it's antiparasitical properties, but so much is kept from us.

I think id go with a small auger before i did all that post hole work in the driveway. Little hammer drill style.

You're lucky a neighbor didn't drive by. They might thing something is up if you're putting a fence-post in the middle of your driveway.

Hey, I know this video was from a year ago, but could you elaborate a little bit on what you did to the soil underneath? I’m in a zone five, in the Midwest, clay soil, which it looks like that’s what you’re digging in and I’ve never been able to grow a root crop! Onions, garlic, potatoes, sweet potatoes. You name it. More advice you could give would be so appreciated.

Using the two temporary screws to prevent it from moving is effective but it is way too slow. What you're supposed to do is do not start with the board on the line. You put it about an eighth of an inch or so short of the line and then when you drive the screws in it will move over to the line. If you can angle your screw up more than 45° the board will not move quite as far. But you always need to place the 2x4 off the line just short of it to compensate for it moving. If you guesstimate wrong on where to place it from the line, just take note of how far off you were and make an adjustment. I've been remodeling for about 30 something years and it is true that we tend to use more screws on framing, I also worked on a framing crew back in the 90s, that is brutal work. I'm turning 60 years old in a few days so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to do this work full time. Doing it every day is very hard on your body. I know that on paper nails have more sheer strength than screws but in reality when shear forces are put on the structure the fasteners do not share off anyway they pull out. That is the failure point and I know this because I've seen the tests with hydraulic jigs used to put shear forces on framing components. The nails or screws will pull out part way and then bend over. The screws are far more resistant to pulling out and it takes more pounds of force to make the screws fail when shear forces are put on them. You cannot put shear forces on a 2X4 structure and actually sheer off the fasteners. They pull out about an inch or so and then bend over. Project Farm actually did some tests on this that are pretty good. He used multiple different kinds of screws and nails, and put different kinds of forces on the fasteners.

that 17 lb bar appears to be what we termed in the US Army as a "tanker bar". It was used to pry and punch, etc., At those enormously heavy tracks when you did a track change on a tracked vehicle; tank, BFV, M113,...

You can drive ground rods all the way into dry ground with a water hose running beside it

Battery powered rotary hammers are becoming cheaper these days

Excellent tip! I need to set some anchor posts for a shed I'm about to build. I even have a similar bar already! Thanks again! 👍😁

In the N. Arkansas Ozarks where the ground is solid rock, this absolutely DOES NOT WORK! One needs a rock drill then.

Hi thank you for this video. I have a raised white spot in both my eyes. Looks like white clear-ish fleshy eye. Lol, okay that sounds weird. It formed over the years. Not sure where it came from but looking to remedy it naturally. I had staff under my eye lid when I was a kid, maybe from that??? Anywho, I have completely changed my diet and am looking for topical assistance. Do you think the comfrey root might work if maybe I make a poultice and place it on my closed eyes??? Thank and have a great day!

I need a digging bar! Thank you!

Thanks for the inspiration! I may have to get those fancy screwdrivers too😊

I accidentally planted this plant thinking it was something else. I was ready to dig it up and gift it. But I figured why not find out more about it before I do that. And I came across this video! Thanks for all the info. I’m going to leave it in my garden ❤

Thank you very much, I learned wonderful things from you.

They sell paint brush combs in a quality paint store

You have made a convenient tie-down cord. It has its place but it is not a replacement for a stretchable bungee cord with hooks. Just another way to secure items.

What you are holding is a rubber cord, not a bungee cord. Poor Start!

Very nice. Thank you. If you were going to use pegboard for some of the tools. How would you make and attach the hooks to the pegboard?

Thank you 🤝!

Thanks for sharing. Super useful.

Great video!

Just how many minutes did it take in the stone area?

My house was built in 1971, today they use shear walls. I'm trying to duplicate what's up there now.

I need to notch a couple of studs for the existing bracing as I'm rebuilding for termite damage and looking at the best way to notch the new 2x4 for the existing wing brace. 7/8" maximum allowed on a 2x4 for load bearing wall. The brace is a 1x4 so that's 3/4". Jigsaw reqires a drill hole so maybe a combination of jigsaw and multitool.

Actually, the name of the song was BLACK BETTY.😊❤

Done this plenty when you need a quick thin shim. It’s pretty hard to avoid saw marks where the cuts meet even when the saw is square. Its probably safer than trying to rip through pushing with a skinny stick. A flat ways 2x4 with a trailing edge stop jig as long as the strips you need is safer.

I would like to suggest to you and your viewers to NEVER pour a flammable liquid inside or near a structure or vehicle. My reasoning is it could spill, or catch fire for a number of reasons, and then you have what can be a serious situation. Step away 10 feet or more and make the pour outside; then if something happens you are not in a life or death struggle to save your garage or truck. A spill of gasoline in a driveway, away from anything valuable is an inconvenience, even if it catches fire. A spill in your shed, as visible @7:00 would be a major problem or even an inferno. Just pour fuel in a place you can step away from without effort or worry. Also, don't store gasoline in glass jugs.

Never, ever lift the post driver off of the post, if you miss the hole you could cause some serious damage to your hand...especially your left hand that you had at the bottom of the handle in this video.

In “another world” a long time ago, on our farm, I participated in yearly hay harvesting. It had to be hung up from ground on wooden stakes, some 8 or 9 ft long. The stakes were about a forearm thick, naturally thinning to the top and sharpened at the thicker end for 8 to 12 inches. We had to use those digging poles or rods, just like you showed, to make the holes for our stakes. The method was exactly as you show. On the fat section of our stake, there was a 6 to 7 inch cross member that would support the first bunch of hay some 18 inches above the ground and then the whole remaining length of the stake was loaded with additional hay, crisscrossing. With air gap under, the hay was let dry for about two weeks without catching mold. Finally the dry hay was collected and brought to one or more barns for winter feeding of our 6 dozen cows and a dozen horses. One thing, though - working at the “receiving end” when the fay was brought in, I developed a lasting opinion that I still relate Earl Gray tea taste or smell to the smell of our dry hay, which every year for a week or so every day penetrated my nose and throat. I like all OTHER tea flavors, but Earl Gray.

Am I the only one,y one that is jealous when I see a well organized tool system, and more importantly a nice vice with a clean workbench! Nicely done sir.

I always thought lard was supposed to stink and smoke when burned as lamp fuel. It's nice to know it doesn't, as I have some really old lard I rendered years back that I don't feel safe eating. It's been in the freezer, but still. Maybe it's tallow that's unpleasant to burn!

What a great idea.

I wonder how many loaves of bread you could make with it if you waited for it to mature

I do this, was never taught, but seemed like a good idea vs pushing through with a push stick. Still getting used to the table saw, but fear can make you respect it more. Great video!

Great video. Very useful. I never would have thought about securing the metal to a board with screws. Wow. I would have used the tried and dangerous potential disembowelment method. Drill press on very low rpm is something I was shown in person just two weeks ago. Thank you.
