how about adding a spring loaded wheel on the big red gate before it starts to sag
The gates look great. There is satisfaction in making something old look new.
the happiness on your face after fitting that first gate. Wonderful!!!
Awesome. Everything old is new again. Looks great.
For a former city boy, Jason, you are awesome at homesteading.Your homestead is neat and organized too.
Bernice checking out your gate work lol “hey Bernice!”
I am proud of you first gate. You are a farmer!!
You are making that place a dream homestead!! Fantastic work! I love how organized and tidy your place is.
Have you noticed a decrease in dog pressure yet? I really enjoy what you share with all of us.
I like seeing your enthusiasm learning new things but ESPECIALLY making your FIRST GATE!!! Congratulations!! 😀😀😀
I'm glad you added paint but not surprised. Pride of ownership.
"Fits like a glove" -- love it! The gates look great & kudos for repurposing. Your homestead is growing and I love that you keep things looking nice. You should be proud.
when you closed the gate and the gate lock worked Perfect! I was like Man I feel proud for you! Nice! love when that happens. takes skills.
That’s a proud man there
Bravo Jason!!! Another skill to add to your resume! Job well done. And they both look really really good! 👏💖👍
You may not think so,...but, U the man Jason. I appreciate your persistent tenacity. Your wife Lorraine and daughter Penelope are a great support and help. All three of you are blessed. I miss seeing Lorraine's dad and mom. Thank all of you for sharing your thoughts, experience and creative expertise. Blessings of safety, health, strength, wisdom and success in Jesus's Name. ❤💯☝🙏🙌💪👍👊
Congratulations on your 1st gate. It looks fantastic!
My dad always inverted gate gudgeons so that smart animals couldn’t lift gates off😊😊
Wake up in Australia to drink my early morning tea & watch Jason welding - what could be better? 😁
Sipping a "beverage" before going to bed in Utah. What could be better!
And I’m here in southern France giving you a thumbs up 👍.
Hahaha I thought it was just me who does the same. 🇦🇺
Me too in Western Australia...
Gate perfection 👌🏽
Great job Jason!!!!! Whew happy happy happy!!!! I love what you do with what you have!!!!
You are doing an awesome job.
Watching you do all these first time accomplishments is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing 💚
I believe the one large red gate, would have been part of a horse arena and the 'ends' just stand on the ground. But we have also flipped and reused as gates. Everything looks great.
Yes it is a corral panel! But it’s nice that he flipped it over and made a new purpose for it!
You are correct, but also agree he was ingenious in reuse.
The gates look brand new!!! You’ve done so much work!!!
I really love what you have done with this property. I can only pray that one day I will be able to get a piece of property and grow more of my own groceries. Love the new baby piglets. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I really love your channel. Thanks for showing the step by step process of all your projects, it really helps me see how they’re done. You should be very proud
Love the gate “ like a glove!” 😁🥰
I'm an old welder. Good job JC! "It's on there" - JC.
Nice gates Jason! It is exciting seeing you improve your family homestead
Love the fact you're re using what you can, amazing what a difference some TLC makes !
Always a joy to watch Jason.
Your chicken says can I help? That was cute. The piglets are growing so fast. Congratulations 🎉🎊 shows if you are willing to work hard for what you want, you can achieve it.
You Jason, are my favorite You Tuber. I love when I get a notification that your video is posted.
Woo Hoo, love those gates. Great job. I appreciate that you want them look good as well. Reuse, recycle, save money. Yeah!!!
Just a tip, turn the fan around.... you want it to pull the fumes away from you not push it at you or blow air into the weld which will make it a poor weld
No one was asking... Mind your own business...the weld will be fine for what is being built. No Empire State collapsing here!
Flux core wire, the fan didn’t affect the quality of the weld🙂
@@richcardenas8023no need to get your underpants in a twist…
He said it was just a tip😮
Being rude for the sake of being rude ,is not a good fit for this positive channel😮
I agree about 5he fan direction, but the fan won’t cause a problem with the weld, as he is using flux core wire, which makes its own shielding gas as it welds, if he was using solid core wire and gas, then you would be correct about the fan blowing the gas away causing a poor weld.
Cheers.
@@richcardenas8023he’s just trying to help!
I love watching you repurpose those old gates and make them work. Your family is doing a wonderful job and work together so well. God bless you all❤
You are amazing! Just goes to show if you want something bad enough, and apply the work one can do anything! Your wife and daughter are so blessed!!
Great job Jason with your gates. Looking like a real farm now.
Looking good Jason, great job renovating those gates.
Jason your a machine, love watching you get things done, great job!!!!
You did a GREAT gate job.
You did a wonderful job of repurposing gates, Jason. They look great and best of all it saved you a lot of money. Thanks for sharing. Have a Blessed day.
The big red gate was originally a cattle panel. Upside down from how you have it and you hook multiple ones together to make a portable corral system.
This content gets me so motivated! We are about a year behind you in the process (I need access to a forestry mulcher haha) but seeing how nice your property is looking now keeps us going! Keep up the great work and the awesome and fun content.
I love ALL Sow the Land videos!
Always entertaining and educational
Have loved watching you with your winter projects, it has definitely helped a very long cold and wet winter go much quicker, thank you.
Looking forward to seeing how the veggies do in their new tunnel and looking forward to seeing all the new animals you are planning on this year.
Thank you for sharing your life Jason, Lorraine and Penelope love to you all xxx
Hello! Here is another tip! Use the hole of a Cresent wrench and hook it over the peg for the gate and use it to turn the gate peg!
The gates look phenomenal !
Throw a JAM NUT on those extra long gate bolts that are drilled thru the posts 😁👍
Great job of repurposing those gates! They look so good!
You are such a hard worker! I love that you also take the extra time to add beauty to the homestead. Those repurposed gates are beautiful!
Just watched a video about your journey. (Breaking New Roots). You have come a long way in only two years there.
Good job using what you have available!
Fantastic remake with Bernice supervising 😅 Thanks for showing the piglets & their mom. Great job, Jason, & thanks for sharing! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
6:30 Bernice!
The gates are awesome 👏🏻 👏🏻👏🏻
WOWZA!!!!!
So beautiful!!
I'm Loving how your property has grown with your hard work and attention. You have done an Amazing job. 👀👀❤❤
Yay, soon no more uninvited dogs at the homestead. Wow, welding the cattle panel to the gate. We just used radiator hose clamps to attach our pig panel to our gate. Yes, most of every project is the prep work. Nice job reusing gates for your fence. That looks awesome Jason! I'm so impressed! Fantastic job! Take a bow! Wow, the bed of your minitruck is longer than your Tacoma truck bed. That's crazy! I like how you did your gate number 2 also! The gap looks fine to me. I like the red you painted it. Thanks for this video Contreras family!
One giant step for man! Sow the Man! Make it so!
Maybe put something in the hole your burned into the metal to keep our moisture which will rust it from the inside out. I have no idea what you could use however.
You could scooch the hanger side of the red gate an inch or so in to lessen the opening and still have room add a latch to the open side, I think? Love how you just do what ya gotta do and take advantage of materials you already have!
learning a bunch from these vlogs. thank you
Pro-tip…if you use the hole in the bottom of a crescent wrench to tighten the gate hangers into the post it works pretty nice
Jason, I love both gates! They look fantastic and congrats! I just finished 600 linear feet of 8 foot high deer fencing by myself. Dude what a project and that was nothing compared to what you’ve accomplished. Great work and the video made me super happy because I TOTALLY know the feeling!
Like a glove.....so funny!! The gates look great!!
“I’ll only have to install this gate once.” Gave me a chuckle as I recall the farmer’s son not quite making the turn out of the lane as the brush hog behind the tractor caught the gate panel and tore it out. Suffice to say, new wooden post set wider with a wider gate… we only had to set that get twice. 😂 thanks for the video and bringing back the memory. Great job and the feeling of job well done certainly earned!
I love your fencing and gate protect! It’s so satisfying to see the progress and you have a wonderful attitude that helps me in my challenges!
Love the new gates, and the welding.
Good job Jason!
Love your attitude and sense of humor. You’re not just informative but fun to watch.
Love the red gates. You never know what you can do until you try. Well done Jason
So proud of you guys! ❤ it
Jason, when welding thin pipe, tack it in and move on also great to see you took the PPE comment seriously
So proud of you Jason. You have achieved so much this year.
Infrastructure /So necessary. Makes your place even more permanent. Awesome!
Look at all youre capabilities today....youve come along way Jason.❤
Use a circular motion and stay on the wire 2/3 of your time. Keep that heat on the heavier piece of metal. I am a career construction welder. 1300 psi boiler tubes, oil refineries, and lots of structural. The more you weld and try different techniques on crap that doesn't matter so much, the better you will be. "A grinder and paint, makes the welder I ain't!" Its a common saying when giving green welders a hard time.
Zip ties will help hold that hinge. I like to put two 4x4 or 2x4 scraps to half-assed support it along with the zip tie. Once its hung loosely, you can kick the 4x4s or 2x4s out and make your final adjustments.
I like your flipping the corral panel and using it for a gate. I am going to have to use that trick. I never thought about that!
Don't sweat the gate not being perfect. Looks good. The cows, goats, or sheep don't care.
Don't worry about getting the gates with wire welded on them. You can buy a couple of old cow or hog panels and weld them on yourself.
I have been on my place for two years and I am STILL finding hog pens down in the woods.
I'm not a very good welder, but what I've noticed is that even a crappy weld is nearly permanent for light day-to-day uses.
Higher impact situations, like moving parts on a car or tractor, and your welds have to be a whole lot stronger.
But light, day-to-day applications, your welds will hold for a long time.
You might want to put a wheel on the bottom of the first big gate you installed in the video to help support the weight when you swing it open. They look awesome and have such a huge impact for use of the property.
Bernice photo bombed you placing the black gate! lol.
I have never seen anybody use a panel as a gate but you made it look good!
haha second " gate " is just a panel and looks like you using it upside down lol. nice job making it do what you needed it to.
Those gates are just awesome. The whole fencing project is coming along fantastically. Thanks for sharing and bringing us along on the journey.
We bought a fixer up farm a few yrs ago. There were about 16 gates on the side of the barn and lots of old corral panels, also many panels with walk-through-gates. Many of the gates had rust, were missing a hinge or some other flaw. We have been slowly getting thrm sanded, painted.We found hundreds of gate bolts, giant gate pins, and hinges in an overgrown burn pile this winter when all the canna died back that was covering the burn pile! Crazy! This was an old horse farm.
That was fun watching you succeed! Your face was priceless. Like a glove!
👏👏👏👏congrats on your first gate! 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗 you did a great job on both gates! See you in Part 2 of gate reno! Happy Days! 😁☀️👏🥰🤗🙏🏻
Awesome job on completing the fencing! It was a huge job, but YOU did it, Jason! Bravo
The sound of your welds indicates your temperature was set pretty well. Good job!
Really enjoy the motivation to get all the areas fencing completed and everything that you have going on at the farm. Thanks Sow The Land.
Hi.... Jason thanks you for showing your video homestead bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋👍👍👍
I'm proud of you, Jason! Great job on your first gate! It came out great! Both of them look really good!
You did incredible I love the gates you are graduating top class Jason.Congrats
Great gates. Not only did you get to practice your welding you made two useful gates which will last for years.💕💕🌻🌻
Gates look Marvelous Jason!
Nice job Jason. Both black & red are nice. "Tippy Top", lol.
The gates are great. I hope you have a terrific sense of accomplishment for a job very well done. WOW is right. The red is perfect!
For the future, a box end wrench works great for turning in those screw type gate hinges.
If you burn a hole you can fill it back in with your welder.
Wow, your First gate looks great!!❤❤
Your last will be perfect.
Never stop dreaming!❤❤
Great job Jason! My favorite thing is free and looks great! You should be happy with how they turned out 👍🏼👍🏼
