Chad your not an idiot. It is amazing what you can do by yourself. Your doing a wonderful job, can't wait to see your dream come true.
@@milliealford8968 I know I’m just joking 😂
Wow Chad!! How impressive! ! 👏👏👏I loved when you cut through to the end of the beam and the look on Olive's face! 🤣@37:21
@@paisley293 yeah she’s such a sweetheart
That wonderful machine deserves a great shelter.
@@andresdelcampo6733 yessir, go big or go home 😉
👏Congratulations on your single-handed feat! That showed a lot of ingenuity👍 I do have to say that I was cringing as you were banging that log...that's really hard on the swing tower to do that sideways like you did. I know you were trying to be gentle about it, (and yes I know this was a one time thing) but in all reality $800 for an extension would be peanuts compared to the repair bill you could have created. Please don't get in the habit of doing that OK? I want to see you continue to succeed and not cause issues for yourself😊😊😊 Stay safe and prosper Chad.
@@PJ-uv9fr nah I’ll most likely never have to do that again. I was worried about it too 😉
The sound now sounds good to me! That’s one huge log! Great that you’re able to work on it yourself!
Good to know. I enjoyed the fact it allows me to have additional commentary while working.
@@HiddenSpringFarm 100% great that you can work away and we can still hear you!
You are something else Chad! Unreal that you were able to do this by yourself with only Olive helping you 😎. Such a joy to watch this come together 🤗
Couldn’t have done it without Olive cheering me on 😆
Chad, you do not have to disparage yourself. You are not making known mistakes. We all learn as we go along. You and your honey are doing a wonderful job on your homestead. I love to watch your videos. Now that Autumn is here, the farm will be gorgeous to see.
You shouldn't blame yourself. You're doing an excellent job !!
@@J.ArturoMartinez nah, not many people can do what I do 💪
Ok, Chad, my lad, you have officially amazed me like I've never been amazed before. First of all, the handling of the huge log is amazing , i was trying to figure out how you were going to finish cutting the end of that log. Great job.
Good thing for your deal with the farmer for the new to you toy.
Love the new Mike. But i couldn't hear your comments with the mill running. Your voice needed to be just a touch louder.😂
I can't wait to see that huge beam put in place. I think you should get your neighbor to help with that. Please.
Lastly, please don't take offense from the haters' comments. As i said in that comment, haters hate.
I, for one, love these videos, i dont even skip forward ever in any of your videos.
Well, keep on keeping on.
Thnx for the comment. Couldn’t have done it without this excavator that’s for sure.
Actually I think Woodland Mills should offer you a job advertising their portable sawmill, you know, what you can or can’t do with the mill! I love how Olive seems to know when to disappear, lol
@@loisstratton9741 I actually get sponsorship offers everyday, but I’m not interested in doing that kind of thing yet. And yes once I start up the excavator she leaves, I make sure if it too.
What a learning curve you have. Looking forward to watching years down the road to see how effortless you make this look. Admire how resourceful and thoughtful you are at these tasks. Thanks for letting us watch.
@@deborahbutcher9061 it’s an adventure that’s for sure 😉
Never call yourself an idiot. You are so impressive in your work! The buildings are amazing and so usable. Is your wife filming you? I appreciate how you are so kind to Olive when she is in your way. My husband and I love how you appreciate everything so much. We love seeing every animal! Your love for your wife shows through. Cutting and sizing the beams was a huge job and your patience and planning is amazing! Martha and Dennis
i cant believe you've done this all by yourself 💪💪💪
@@psychotronx7032 yup that’s how I roll 😉
The damage is minimal, and today has been a lot of hard work, but it is a great reward. It's almost everything prepared to do the house for the mill. Olive is a big company.
Yeah this was a big next step in building this shelter
That was a huge log. Stay safe my friend. Loved the video. ❤❤
@@cathymcgee1674 I even amazed myself
It was actually hilarious to watch today😅 hope all your equipment is sturdy enough to for your learning process 😂
I think you should give the cats the pieces of wood that still has the outside tree materials on it. Your farm cats would love it in their house, to scratch their claws on it. Just a suggestion.
You did an awesome job. You can be very proud of yourself. Thanks for sharing.😊👍
@@sylviahudell2171 yeah for sure, it was a huge step in this build.
wow, that was awesome to watch! i admire your ambition to get all of this hard work done, all by yourself no less!! can't wait to see the progress you continue to make.
Olive is the best little helper too! 😍
Aww thanks. Olive is always by my side and she knows to stay clear when I’m using the excavator. I think she doesn’t like the sound of it cause when I’m using the sawmill she’ll just lie down close by. Very smart
Chad, you need a Bark De-barker that would help keep you saw blade sharper. Check with Woodland mills to see if you can add one to your saw mill. Chad you also could use another Can't hook to turn your logs. You sound is good Chad. You are doing a Great Job Chad !
Yes, I agree. You are amazing, strong and talented. This is your BEST video yet!! I couldn’t take my eyes off until you finished. The photography was great during the entire process and sounds. I was on the edge of my seat. Great entertainment!!
Oh that’s so awesome 👏
My heart was in my mouth..well done..what a log ( cliff) hanger!😅
CHAD U ARE A VERY TALENTED GUY!!! And doing this all by yourself is amazing!!! 🙏❤️🙏👍👍👍
💪💪
Dear Chad you’ve accomplished alone a collossal work ! But as someone else said it also, be very careful not to harm tour back because you’ll pay the consequences when you will be old! But Congratulations between you and the log the winner was you !
@@ddarivan9864 yup gotta stay safe and strong 💪
You are brilliant. Not an idiot, friend. 😊
💪
Great work Chad! That was incredible. Keep safe and I can't wait to see the finished mill enclosure. To do that all by yourself is just amazing. Glad you made it work and kept yourself in one piece, lol Cheers buddy!
I like! The new microphone! Neat that you can still talk being away from the camera. Best videos!
I like it too, maybe not on all types of videos but while I was editing it I’m thinking…this is nice to talk things thru.
Great job my friend. Can't wait to see it completed.
You and me both!
👏 Bravo👏 you did it.🙌 Your audio is just perfect.
👋🇨🇦
👍 👍
I think you did an amazing job cànt wait till next time
Aww thanks 🙏
Scary but very interesting. So glad you didn’t get hurt. I enjoy watching your videos. You always doing something. Keep up the good work 💜🙏
@@BerthaRamsey-e9o yeah it was an accomplishment alright 👍
Im impressed. Thats a huge log. Be careful.
😊
It took me all day 😆
@@HiddenSpringFarm i bet you were some tired.😊
Great job Chad! Be safe with those big trees!
@@shannonmartinez8036 oh yes, I always keep my wits clear.
Wow!! That was a real job !!
You did well with it though considering what you went through. I sure hope you don't have to do anymore like that one !!😆😁
As always sending love and support from Florida. You be careful out there!!
Thank you for sharing this video. 🌺✨✨✨
See you next time 😊
I hope so too!
You did great. I love how you figure things out.
I appreciate that
Great job Chad, well done😊!
Aww thanks, that was a tough job 😉
Wonderful job, figuring out how to do that all on your own
@@scatterbreined aww thanks 😊
That was exciting and a little scary! But you did it!
Yes it was!
Pry bar…wow that’s a huge job ahead
Great work Chad!!
Thanks, this was a tough one but over the next few build episodes it’ll really start to take shape.
Hello from PEI. The audio is very good.
@@SuperAbcdabcdabcdabc excellent!
When pushing the log with the excavator bucket, you need to get closer to reduce the length of the lever arm. If you half the distance you will double your pushing force.
I enjoy your enjoyment with your work. Keep up the awesome job!!
Yup if I don’t enjoy myself it becomes actual “work” 😉
@HiddenSpringFarm sorry I didn't think about how labor intensive it's been still love your vlogs
Wow that was hard work - well done😮😊
@@avisgibson5964 👍
Great job!, you are amazing!!
@@janeteta459 😁
you are so clever.`well `done
😀
Woodland sells blades specific for hardwood. You might be using their all-purpose blades which are more for a softer wood. We ran into the same problem until we switched over and we were able to mill a lot more. Other than that you're doing great buddy. Keep up the good work!
@@charfmander I have a hardwood blade on. The first blade that came with the mill cut 15 logs before I started having difficulty pushing thru. But those logs had been sitting for like 1-2 years. I just felled this tree and this is a new blade but I still had difficulty pushing it thru at times. Gotta be because of the wet wood right? Could it be another reason on the mill? I haven’t milled anything since this log so I won’t know til then. I think it’s a good idea to fall a bunch of trees and let them sit cause the blade went thru those like a hot knife they butter.
You are doing really good by yourself- I would weld a hook on the bucket of your mini so you can us chains and straps to pickup stuff.
I’d have to learn how to weld and buy a welder first. It’s on my master list of skills to learn but it right I’ll eventually need a pulley system or a winch to help with turning huge logs.
Morning Chad, AKA farmer AND lumberjack. 😊 you are one hardworking man. Do you and Remi ever find time to relax?
@@RJH_LIL when building a UA-cam channel and building a farm business at the same time there’s no time to relax sadly. Hopefully once I’m very successful we can take a little break.
@@HiddenSpringFarm I pray for your success cause you two deserve it.
the scream I scrumpt when I saw you've uploaded a 42min video! I feel so spoiled
@@indigosaura haha this log took all day to mill, footage just kept going and going 😂
ASMR ❤❤❤❤ very relaxing 😊😊😊😊
@@marilynrobertson6265 Nice!
wow Chad please be careful I know you work alone a lot but please don't hurt yourself !!!!!!!
@@brendaogle-em7if 💪
☮️🦋💜 from Montreal
YOU SHOULD USE A WEDGE IN THE LAST CUT SO THE LOG WILL NOT BIND UP ON THE BLADE.
It honestly wasn’t that bad, the log was freshly cut so very wet to get the blade thru. I noticed a huge difference milling a bunch of logs I had sitting for over a year compared to these few trees that I just cut. I did use wedges to get the blade out though. 😉
Wow, so finicky. Will putting a shelter block you being able to use the excavator for future jobs though due to the roof height?
Not at all the front beam will be 12 feet tall
Ramming Speed!
🤙
Chad, You need some kind of back support for your back.😊 You are moving a lot of weight against your back. On the right of tv screen, it looks like you need more room where you are standing on the right of the log. Are you going to close in the sides of the building or keep it open? If that log came off? You would be pinned by the log or worse crushed. Take care!🪵🪵🐶🪿🦆🐣🇺🇸🇺🇸😊
Lots of room, you’ll see it come together in a few more episodes 😉
@@HiddenSpringFarm I watch you every time you have a video. I just was worried about your safety. I am sure the final building will be fine.💙🇺🇸💙
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@Val1950MAgirl 😁
Sound quality was great, what was the microphone you got?
It’s a rode wireless me
@@HiddenSpringFarm Thank you!
Click it on your ear 🤪
@@toddcaskey9984 😂
No need to go to the gym after that workout!!! You might try those big yellow ratchet straps next time to attach to the bucket, and lift the beam. The bucket Jaw is only a super hero for a certain amount of weight, but it seems no problem for the arm to lift that much weight. A good fishing, and hunting friend of mine once told me, and I never forgot his humor, that everybody is an Idiot, but not many can admit it!!! He actually said. every body is Ducked up!!! and he could admit it. Ha!!! Keep yourselves warm, Mr. Frost is coming soon!
Yes I actually had a beam come loose from the jaws you’d think I learned a lesson but then again I’m ducked up 😂 🤪
Chad, good job! Impressive and glad you do enjoy your work. You and Olive are a good team! Thanks again for sharing adventures on the farm.
@@mapgirl7559 😁
Work smart not Hard 😊 Your leafs lost lastnight.
Haha they’re just getting started 😂
Too long a log, best in 10’ logs !
@@lawsonspedding6136 but I need a 24’ beam for the sawmill shelter. Of course I wouldn’t normally do them this length.
Not very interesting all your sawmill equipment & building stuff for it… your sales $$ must be good to afford all of this! 🧚♀️Would like you setting up something for SINGLE poor people to visit 🧚♀️
Clearly this Vlog, which is 42 minutes long and has in the title what it is about does not cater to your needs. There are many Vloggers you can watch. No need to send such a rude comment, clearly this Vlogger has worked hard for what they have.
This is an investment-saves money in the long range.
Right now he is working on building onto his barn. He has built all of the homes for his animals. It is amazing at whst he has done. Go back and watch the many great videos he has. Great farm life with all the animals. It is one of my most favorite channels if not the #1. I really hope you have a nice day.
Jealousy is a m*there*vaker..
Sjeez,maybe he has saved for years for this....what is your problem..
Btw a sawmill can be had for 5-6000 usd
You have your right to your opinion. Saying that I think what Chad and his wife have accomplished in the past 4 or so years is amazing as they both work full time and Chad builds everything alone.
CHAD, don't let these types of comments phase you. Hater will hate....lovers will love.😂
The mic sounds GREAT 👍👍
@@w.jamesgurniak9543 nice! 🤙
You are doing a great job Chad. Thank you for sharing. Thoughts and Prayers. Love and Blessings.
