It's not so much about the destination as it is about the journey.
Amen!
Nobody move...I dropped me brain!
+Alex Prin 😂
How sweet is the fact that the mailman knows what went into this build and will appreciate it for years to come. Great stuff as always, thank you sir.
Thanks for listening to your subscribers as I do agree with them and I've said it before do your channel your way. I will watch either way because I want to learn what u teach. time is irrelevant
Amen!
+Dylan Hardin Definitely not about the end result.. it's about the journey.
It looks amazing. Thanks for taking your time and making it a work of art!
Your videos are more than simply sharing the experience of building a project. You provide not only educational content, but also a context for the techniques you use. There is no simple fast way to accomplish that task. Illustrating anything which is technically specific - such as making a natural finish for wood with beeswax and boiled linseed oil is time consuming. Showing the steps in this process in more or less real time allows the information to be, not just seen, but also understood and absorbed. Speaking as one who has never used that method, I respect that you take as much time to explain things as you do. As you frequently point out, your videos are a shared learning experience. You are not simply sharing projects or techniques, but also pieces of your life. The value of doing this simply can't be measured - especially in this age of superficiality and instant everything.
Love that you've taken the positive feedback to heart, we can definitely tell the difference when you are enjoying what you are doing. Take your time, work at your own pace and do things you enjoy doing. I rather enjoy the longer videos and series, since UA-cam is my television.
repurpose,reuse, adapt,improvise, thats what being a good steward is all about. my hats off to you and your family. thanks for taking us along with you as you finish your timber framed mail box pole.
I've always seen your videos as woodworking/homesteading vlogs. I do enjoy watching build videos that other channels produce, but Wranglerstar is more true to life.
I might not agree with all your views on life, but I have yet to find a more sincere, honest and down to earth man on UA-cam. I've followed you for a while, and you never disappoint in my regard. Your pragmatic approach to existence gets me thinking, every clip I watch. Thanks for not letting the haters get to you, and keep on fighting!
Cody, I coated many fence post bases this way (with diesel oil) 15+ years ago. My neighbor was very upset and chastised me as I did it. He read me the enwackomentalist riot act while he stood there and watched me work. My original fence posts still remain and look as good as the day they were installed. He's had to replace his a time or two because of rot! But wacko logic rewards his line of thinking even though he's spent more time, money and energy on obtaining new product while discarding the rotted material?!?!? Go figure...
Thanks Cody for rethinking your original decision! Loved seeing the completion videos, and glad you ultimately followed your heart! Keep up the nice work!!!
Some channels I watch to learn. Yours I watch to relax, and I learn also! I really like it more when you take your time. Reminds me to enjoy life.
Wranglerstar - I have absolutely been loving the series on the mailbox. While it sucks having to wait for the videos, it is very fulfilling, which is a much better experience. Your personality, and your family are fantastic. I wouldn't want it any other way!
I was a musician for 30years Cody. Never chase the market. Your love for your work will carry it through.
I'm so glad you decided to go slow and show us every step of this mailbox, I love watching your videos.
Thank you for sharing everything, and pushing through the bad comments. Yes sometimes I may wish to see the projects coming faster, but it's unrealistic, I know how long it takes to make things, it's not done in one day. The reason why we (I) watch your channel is simple, we love the format, the experiences you share. Any project has value, and to me you have integrity which is a rare value in our world.
Talking about bee wax today, how are your bees doing this year?
I was one of the ones complaining about videos not coming fast enough. (I'm a welder. Complaining is what I do. Google crying welder if you don't believe me.) You do YOUR CHANNEL as you see fit! I was only complaining to make you understand that we were all looking for the notification that you had put up another video.. Its like the last few days before Christmas.. We just can't wait. :-)
+Jeff Benefield complaining of this sort is encouraged
Hey Cody, I'm really liking the above view of your work.its cool to see the big picture of what you are working on.
I agree that a simple knife is best.
I also enjoy the calm and slow pace with lots of cool details.
Mrs W please pass this on. love your vids. this is one of my favourite series. I am a carpenter/joiner from Devon England .I have been here since a few thousand subs. please never entertain the fools who spout negativity. keep it up Mr and Mrs W. ps please don't think London represents the whole uk. much love.
it's about more then seeing you do a project and finish it. it's also about seeing you enjoy yourself. it's about seeing you interact with Jack and Mrs. W. it's a lot like watching Bob Ross do a painting.... It's just a delightful atmosphere to be in. To me it's Hope. A hope for quality a hope that maybe folks will realize things are being taken to much for granted. not just quality of materials but also of life.
Most of us are very much enjoying your videos. Just keep on being yourself and don't worry about pleasing us. We are already pleased.
Hey brother, thanks for just being yourself!
Dear Mr. Cody... Please don't take to heart any criticism of those who are too lazy to have their own channel with their own videos. Your videos seem to come straight from your heart and that is the 'heart' and soul of them. Don't change a thing about yourself or your family. Your videos are informative AND entertaining, and that's a combination which is hard to resist. Best wishes to you and yours.
I agree Cody. Do exactly what you want to do. This is how all your videos have always been. Continue doing things at your pace, and however you want.
Love it. thank you for not stopping on the mailbox videos. forget the haters.
I appreciate the time you take in your projects it shows you care about what you make and you want the stuff you build to be up to your standards and look and last as long as it can.
I'm glad you put out some more mailbox videos. I was watching your videos from that little kitchen remodel you did a while back. I like to see the process you go through more then a start to finish tutorial. I know a lot of projects I do don't always end up finishing the way I think they will when i start. My wife wanted to start keeping bees. I showed her your videos, she was a lot more comfortable with the idea not because of your expertise but more because you showed you don't have to be an expert at something to succeed. You can just have some fun and learn as you go. Keep doing what your doing!
It shows when you like what you're doing. Makes watching you do it much more enjoyable too!
These construction series of yours reminds me of when I was younger. I'd walk back to my grandfathers' wood shop when he was in there and I'd watch him while he was making something. Never knew what he was doing but I always loved watching. Sadly he's to the point now where he can't do anything he used to anymore and it agitates severely. He doesn't like having to rely on others. As much as we don't like it you can't stop from getting old. :)
This is seriously like watching a piece of art systematically constructed. Love it
I am completely in love with your videos, they're calming to me in my hectic city life. I'm sure there's a 10 minute how-to that's fast paced and "exciting" on building a mailbox post, but that's not the point of your videos. The thing I love most is you're old-school, you do almost everything manually by hand, and take the time to do it right. I love that it's taken so long (in youtube video time) for you to build this, but that's part of the fun. Your "One Man's Junk" series on restoring the water tank/pump was thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the great work, and remember, some of us are very jealous of your lifestyle.
Thank you very much for finishing the mailbox, lifted my day to see the job seen through. Like you say it's about sharing the experience.there are plenty of us out here that enjoy your projects and thoughts.
I absolutely love the pace and detail of your videos... I work in technology but do woodworking as a hobby and the process is therapeutic. I enjoy the process of creating far more than the finished product. The same as videos... Sure, I can do a google image search for a timber framed mailbox and get instant gratification, but what I really want to see is the process and the craftsmanship.
Thank you Mark
Do what YOU want to do Cody, I know I will watch whatever you post because there's always something to learn
Cody, Nice to see you back in good spirits, and you were always right to do your own thing. A real craftsman appreciates your efforts and will learn from each other. There are many ways to do the task, but being creative is part of what makes things fun and satisfying to bring to completion. The windmill vid's are AWESOME! Many thanks for that and thanks to the owners that allowed you to bring that incredible footage. Some wrought iron inlays on your timber frame would be great. Simple one's, nothing fancy. would ad some strength and look cool as heck.
Thank you. Would look beautiful.
"Life before death. Journey before destination. Strength before weakness"
-I like this format too, i watch your videos on my morning commute and they are just the right size. Keep it up!
my family and i love the channel . do not change a thing for any reason .
Here is the thing Cody, the PROCESS is what we love, at least what I love. When I do a project, I enjoy it. I take my time, why rush it? If I take my time and enjoy it, why should you not? Great video as always.
"Do what you want to do - it's your channel!"
EXACTLY! Cody, I watch your channel because I ENJOY watching your channel! If a video looks like it's not going to be my cup-o-tea, I skip watching for that day! (that hardly ever happens btw)
Keep doing what you do. Its 20% end result but 80% the journey to get there. Looking forward, God Bless
I've been loving the series. Your channel is built on showing your passion for your work. Don't short us or the videos.
Thank you so much for bringing back the series! I'm a new subscriber (about a month ago) and I have just dived into all of your videos. Think about this, you've gained the subscriber base you have based on doing videos a certain way, the greater majority will stuck behind what you choose to do, so keep doing what you've been doing! There are so many videos out there that show random "how to" projects start to finish in 20 minutes. I greatly enjoy being able to come along for the journey, 20 minutes at a time with an incredible amount of depth and detail. So keep it up! God Bless!
Glad to see you didn't listen to those few people who are complaning. Love this serie, every time i'm learning something new. Great for me, i just started woodworking. Keep up the good works!
I have to admit that watching this series has inspired me to *finally* make my wife the timber framed clothes line posts she has been wanting. Keep it up!
Thank you for inviting us along. Not being able to get out it doesn't really matter what the content is all of it great.
I love long winded timber frameing videos with loads of episodes do what u love
Can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos. I watch them while having my morning coffee break! Always something to learn. Many thx.
Couldn't be happier to see this video series continue. For me it's the rawness, little details and style of your videos that keeps me wanting more. Keep doing what you're doing for YOUR channel ( I really enjoy longer videos and longer series ) because it works and is a pleasure to watch :)
So glad to see you back on your pace. Pay no attention to the haters. UA-cam is a horrible den of haters at times, and it can get way out of control.
What you are doing is good, and having a big impact on lots of viewers. So as one of those, I want to offer you great kudos, and ask you to please, please, ignore the haters, and keep doing what you do!
As a humble scrapyard owner in Ontario I loved the plug for scrappers everywhere!
I am with the herd on this one. The content/current pace of progress is perfect. I really enjoy your videos... God bless
The reason people are hating on your videos is because the videos are too long for how much work you get done. It's your channel , just my observation.
My applause, appreciation, and respect from this female carpenter!
Hi Cody,
Thanks for getting back... and not letting all those negative people have their way!
my old landlord ran by a school of thought that a thin medium must be used applying linseed oil to wood. He mixed turpentine with it on all his antiques with great success. It penetrated the wood, helped dry it and left a smooth, dry to-the-touch feel. looking good!!
It's the journey...not just the destination ! Thanks for bringing us along for the ride.
Another trick to preventing riot is the place your timbers in a fire and burn the wood black. This char process cause the sugars in the outer part of the wood to convert to a type of sugar the bugs don't eat. In addition filling the timber with oil like your doing will help also. Wrapping post exposed to the ground in tarpaper will keep water from washing your protection away.. I used to help my father in law burn fence posts in the spring after a winter harvesting. Sometimes we would char the whole post from top to bottom. Posts that were done many years ago are still in use.
thanks for continuing this series. Your content is what drew subscribers to your channel to begin with. Don't be overly swayed by the malcontents. The vlogs of the Europe trip were all well and good, but it's your homestead, stewardship forest and wildland videos that I enjoy most.
Great series Cody. I am really enjoying the unrushed nature of the project. I use a similar wood treatment but I add some turpentine. It seems to help the mixture soak into the wood deeper. I also follow up with a blow dryer or heat gun to push it in further.
i am soooo glad that you decided to keep doing your mailbox videos. Not my favorite videos you have produced but i like that you stuck to what you want to do.
with the creosote cody we do something similar on our farm: we heat it to about 60C (2/5 diesel, 2/5 used tractor oil and 1/5 tar or bitumen) and put our fenceposts in it for about 4 hours, the end result is that they never rot. posts my grandfather put in when he was a kid are still going strong.
It might interest you to know that on our farm, which was rented, the estate woodsmen used to cleft oak branches with wedges which were too bent and twisted to use in the sawmill into fence posts which were sold to the tenants relatively cheaply.
To preserve them from rot we used to buy creosote in 45 gallon (UK) barrels. We used to cut the top off an empty barrel build a hearth outdoors which it would stand on. Stack the new posts in the barrel and pour creosote in to a depth so that the posts would be coated to slightly above ground level.
We would then light a fire in the hearth and heat it until the creosote was boiling. You then let the fire go out and leave the posts to suck up the creosote as it cooled. A huge amount of creosote used to be absorbed!
A couple of days or so later we would re-light the fire, re boil the solution and a lot of excess creosote would drain out of the posts. Whilst hot the posts would be lifted out with great care and put to drain in a trough. The spare creosote caught in the trough was returned to the boiling barrel for re use later. The treated posts would last at least twice as long as untreated posts so it was worth the cost, time and effort.
The smell and fumes + water vapour of the boiling creosote is something I remember to this day!!
Today of course no such dangerous practises are allowed for safety reasons and timber has creosote is applied by the use of a very large pressure vessel.
Thank you so much for doing this video on this. I know you are very busy but I was sad that I wouldn't see it completed. The grain of the wood, the huge size and the tools and the care you took to put it together. Thanks
Beautiful finish on the above ground timber, and next time I'm replacing fence posts I will definitely be stealing that preservative idea for the below ground portion.
You and Chris from Clickspring do the same thing! You split the series up into many tiny parts. It's maddening! Chris can take a month or more between videos! Doubly maddening! The video just started and it's over?! WHY?! But you know what? You and Clickspring are the two channels that I look forward to the most and who's videos I watch first! It isn't the length of the video or how much you cram into each video, but the quality of the content. It's addicting.
I'm glad you saw the light!
The videos have been great. You dont need to change your style. There will always be some one who has something negative to say. So you mine as well enjoy making them for yourself and the other views that really enjoy them. Unfortunately we dont tell you enough how we do enjoy them. So keep it up. I have heard of the crisote trick but I have never seen anyone do it before thanks
Cody, if you mix equal parts by weight Beeswax, Boiled Linseed Oil and Turpentine it will not separate. It is commonly known as Gunny Paste, works excellent on gunstocks. It can be rubbed in by hand or re-melted and applied with a brush. Thanks for continuing on with the mailbox project, I have really enjoyed it. Keep up the good work.
When finishing a blacksmith project I put linseed and wax on the piece when it it is black hot. It smokes up. Then I reapply and brush it with a wire brush. I keep a can of it ready to go and put it near the fire to melt when I need it.
When I was in blacksmith school decades ago that was the first finish I was taught to use on iron or steel. Beeswax, linseed oil, cut with turpentine if needed, is the classic finish.
+Seppa Cutting with turp is great when using this mixture for waxing canvas or packs, pants etc. It prevents the bees from being drawn to the beeswax.
Just keep doing the things that have brought 371447 subscribers to you.......we will support you no matter what
This is my favourite episode of this series so far. Great job!
I've watched your videos off and on over the past year or so. Pleas pay no mind to the detractors. You have at least one new subscriber in me. Thanks for sharing all your work.
Glad you carried on, this is the style we like you for! Do it how you want.
Thank you for all of your amazing videos. Forget all the people who just troll around trying to annoy people. I enjoy that you do things right and care about your work unlike most people. I am very happy that ypu continued on with this series and I am sure everyone else is too.
That's the right attitude, man! You should make these videos because doing so makes you happy. If people don't like the way you do it, they can watch someone else. Exactly as you said in this video.
Yes! I have never been so excited to watch someone build a mailbox. Keep up the awesome content.
I'm a very amateur woodworker / DIY man, and the Japanese handsaw is one of my favorite tools.
Continue going into the details in the projects - that's how the audience can learn from you.
Thanks for all your time making great videos. we use used motor oil " burnt oil" , on the farm for our ground contact wood . We even soak our fence post in a barrel of used oil before we set them .
Hi Cody, thanks for continuing and sharing this project. Hope to see many more in the future.
I`m inspired! Greetings from Germany
Thanks for keeping it going. And CONGRATULATIONS on the Forest Service!
Watching your channel for me is like hanging out with a old friend, thanks and god bless
The negative people out there are always going to be a louder minority but please don't let that affect your videos or get self conscious about their length/project duration. I'd say most of us feel honored that you and your family let us come see this side of modern homesteading that is frankly out of reach for most. All while being entertained and learning SO much from your channel almost an a daily basis. Thank you Wranglerstar family!
here I sit in San Francisco and I was way up North and I had the distinct feeling that my brother was near. Great work brother!
Thanks for continuing the series.
I very much enjoy videos like this. Their is something to be said about men who take the appropriate amount of time to do things the right way. The Colosseum was not built in a day and that why its still standing.
dont stop making vídeos please, you sir are the reason i want to move to Canadá and start a homestead! greetings from México
after hearing what you had to say about the gransfors bruks products, I bought the camping hatchet a while back, and it is now one of my most prized possessions! I love that thing, I never go on any outdoor activity without it! So gad to own it, and I'm sure the hand hatchet is the same way
Cody, you do your thing at your pace we are just along for the ride. You are doing great!
Great video! Hedge works great as fence post my grandpa can remember putting hedge post in the ground when he was a kid and they weren't puled out until a couple of years ago and he's pushing 80 years and these post would still be great for fire wood. He also said they never sealed them this is also Midwest weather.
Please keep the video's as is. Your a story teller plain and simple!
If you have a deep tub (like a barrel) and heat the oil wax mixture to about 450 F put the post in for 15 minutes (something like a cool deep fryer) the heat drives out the moisture and the wax oil blend will get sucked into the wood to replace the dispelled moisture and the wood is changed and resists digestion by insects and microorganisms. FYI Just a thought. Very nice wood framed stand. Quality craft work.
Thank you for continuing this series of videos. I love the channel and I love to watch you do stuff. I felt you had repowered your energy for making these videos again. I love the process of making things. This video you seemed very relaxed, to me, that is most important.............
So happy you are continuing this series! one of my favorites
Don't you love how the beeswax, linseed oil mix brings out the grain in the doug fir? Thanks for posting Cody. Classic.
Your pace is the right pace. I'm loving the series!
Thank-You Cody, Bless you and your family...Love, Peace, and Happiness to you all.
I'm glad your back man. I wanted to see the end of this project as a maker myself the more information ,the longer the vid the better. Thanks for coming back
So happy you carried on with this series Cody
I'm so glad that you're continuing this great project! I enjoy your videos and I'm always willing to watch what you choose to share.
Wonderful video Mr. Wranglerstar. I'm happy you decided to post more videos on the timber framed mailbox. Looks great, keep up the good work.
Well said sir! i am just glad to be along for the ride. Thank you
