When I see an old timer like this, I sit down and listen And that’s part of the problem no one wants to take the time to slow down and listen to the wisdom from his generation 💪
SAAAAAME!!!! My grandpa was born in ‘37 to Alabama share croppers. Moved to Detroit in ‘56 to work at Ford. He had stories for days. I can recite every single one too. It seems I’m starting to be the old guy 😮💨 I ain’t ready 😂😂
My respect he still going! Got my first welding job at 20 at a fab shop. When I got on site I was given several 12” xray pipe welds that were all tacked ready to go. Me being green I was nervous and slow of course about lunch time came by the shop boss came up to me told me he can see I was green and not going to make the cut for me to roll up and leave the site I was fired. He said I know we all have day one but not here man sorry I need production so many inches of weld a day. I was devastated rolling my stuff up an older welder came up to me thick prescription glasses white hair I can see he been doing it for a while. He told me where you going I said I’m fired man I’m too green and slow. He said what no do you really want to leave of course I said no. He said wait here stop rolling up, he went to boss office came back few minutes later. Boss and older welder come up to me boss man says hey man I’m going to give you a chance to stay only bc this man Luis said he will watch over you and take you under his wing by the end of the week if I don’t see improvement or too many repairs you are gone. Boss left and Luis said ok man your first mistake is this and that your too cold turn up the heat feed wire like this etc all the tips and tricks. He let me watch him then he said ok your turn. Long story short I got the hang of welding faster and quality bc of Luis. I kept that job for 3 years. Towards the end we had a big emergency job a 42” spool piece to fab and weld. Some welders went to field they kept me and Luis at the shop we started welding the 42” bro in law. I could hear and see him struggling to put the root pass. Boss and owner of company were watching us also our fitters. I told Luis you want me to try helping you he said yes try it man I’m struggling to see I’m old your a young buck. So I welded his side came out good boss and owner and Luis said you weld it by yourself take your time. I did and it passed xray. I felt so proud. Luis hung up his hood after that day. Boss told Luis man the student became better than the teacher huh? Luis replied remember when you wanted to fire him after half day? Now you don’t want him to quit this place. I will never forget Luis older man that helped me with my career, this video reminded of him. God bless to all my welding and fitter people. Everyone really in business we all got one goal to get it in service and start producing more for the world.
It was a man named Doug for me. His kindness and selfless help gave me an opportunity that changed the situation for me and my little family. That job was a stepping stone to my current job that has been a huge upgrade financially and security for my families future. All because a kind man took his time to teach a rookie the ropes. Even if he enjoyed yelling and cussing me in the process a little too much lol
@@ronniemyers3278 lol some guys are like that showing tough love. Worked with a few. But yes Luis open the gates for me man, when I told him I had an opportunity to grow and make more money by leaving he told me I’m happy for you, go for it you are ready and will only get better. Put my 2 weeks notice boss tried to match pay but just couldn’t. He also finally said well man if you ever need work you more than welcome to come back. Left worked till I got me a rig truck traveled the US. Always thinking man if it wasn’t for Luis would I be here.
And thank you for reminding me that "God created March, should eternity be too short". And what an FMC is. I thought I was the only one that read the last laugh.
Wish I got a chance to hang with my grandpa from my mom's side, and grandma from my dad's side. I Never got to grow up to know them even though I got pictures with them. Both passed away before I could even read, walk, or speak.
My grandpa was a welder before welders made good money. He worked two to three jobs a day to feed his family. Sent several of his kids to college. Total respect to these guys!!!!❤
I just finished Welding college bro.. I hope I can still do it when I'm this old. Fair play to this elderly man. I'm 52 now. I started real late into my welding career.. LMAO.
I turned 60 this year. It really made me think. Every old person was a young person. They have lived a lot of life, gained valuable experience…… what I also am now aware of, and I believe it’s every bit as important, is that even though our body ages, we are still the same person inside. People look at us differently, speak to, and treat us differently…….. but we are still the same in our mind. It’s a tough pill to swallow, and it increases as we age. Thanks and respects to all.
A man like that has forgotten more than I know ❤❤❤ thank you to all the old school trade workers who mentored me and a lot of the guys coming into the trades now
every time i see a brazing torch or and old man with one in his hands all i can think of is the master og welders that have knowledge we may never know about
The old welder I learned from was like this man. I miss him to this day! He immigrated after WW 2 a German tank hull welder. Humble hard working man who to pride in his work. Rudy Fabian R.I.P.
This makes me cry for real because my Daddy is Done gone on to be with the Lord and he learn me how to stick weld just like this gentleman in this video.
I knew a guy on Long Island named John Probst who had a shop near MacArthur airport. He fixed earth moving equipment by himself until age 84. I still remember him climbing into an earth mover and asking me to hold his walker while he moved the machine. I always told him I want to be in your shape when Im your age. His back finally called it quits and he scrapped all his massive pieces of repair equipment for track and such. He made a real impact on me--the definition of discipline. I remember hanging around his burn barrel and talking. The guy was super talented.
My dad was a welder. He did exceptional work that he took great pride in. There wasn’t much he couldn’t do, and he definitely believed that if something was worth doing, it was worth doing right! He passed away two years ago at the age of 86. He had amazing stories from his youth. He was quite the practical jokester, was never to be trusted on April Fools Day, and loved me and my daughters with every breath in his body. I miss you, Daddy.
He reminds me of my grandfather working his whole life then retired. Helped the whole family with projects. I learned so much from him and miss him more than i can put into words. He never complained about problems. he just worked through them.
I decided in 2000 I wanted to be a welder. The world was very different then. New technology was coming in and the old timers were starting to fade out. My first job I worked as an apprentice under a few “old timers”. These men catapulted my career because I shut up and I listened to them. I can not thank them enough. ❤️
That’s the type men that built and designed the things the world takes for granted nowadays! Once they are gone, so is the wisdom and knowledge. Listen and pay attention if you still got someone like this left in your life. I wish I had listened more while I had the chance.
Bless.You sir, staying busy and in the shop is the secret to life , happiness and accomplishment. You are the people that built this country !! MUCH RESPECT SIR 🙏👍
My grandfather is right there with him… I’m grateful I’ve had them for as long as I have. I’m grateful for everything that he’s taught me how to become a man and be a man take care of my family living honest life sad how fast life goes by it’s a blessing to be able to get to their age though.
These older guys have so much knowledge I never past up an opportunity to chat with them any chance I get I've learned so much from this generation truly the greatest generation.
There is so much that we can learn from old timers like him they need to be cherished, I am so thankful to have learned from my grandfather the art of beekeeping it has been able to sustain me and my family it’s so nice to not have a boss because he was the last one
I always listened to my grandparents stories. It definitely enlightened me. I'm a millennial and even I was taught to be humble and supportive of future generations in an increasingly technological world
You sir are one of the great minds and most most respectable work ethic left of this generation🙌🏼. I salute you for breaking your back in your younger years to make our present day possible🫡 prayers to you and much thanks 🙏🏼
This guy reminds me of my g grandpa. He died in 95, but he looks a lot like him. Retired union plumber. He was making windmills that were pure art. I still have one. They're was 3 of them in a park in San Jose CA, but i don't know if they're still around. Some were sold, some were given away and others were damaged beyond repair.
I’ve learned that whenever you interact with elderly folk, that time they’re giving you, and that interaction, is sooo so valuable. They know so much, they have lived life and now can give you the best advice possible in hindsight. God bless our elders
My mentor for one of my hobbies is 72 and he’s really taken me under his wing. Where I’ve come in 2 years is better than I could have ever figured out on my own. Some of my greatest memories is sitting down with the generation that didn’t have any technology and spent years learning a craft. As a nurse, this is some of my favorite generation to be around and care for. The knowledge, wisdom and sheer grit they carry in their souls is incredible!
I was brought up around ppl like this.... They are long gone but what I learned lives on... I feel very blessed to have been present for all I got to see and learn.. best part is in modern day you do a job the old way ppl are in aw b/c they had no idea it could be done another way. I'm almost 50 and I still take the time to talk to the old timers I figure it's the least I can do give them the respect they deserve
@@RedneckGarage4570 exactly what I said actually right before you. Some reason UA-cam likes to not put my comments up. But will notify me when people respond to ones I have lol. But good to see someone else has sense
I love this… hard working man! Way to go! Reminds me of my hard working daddy… I love him so very much. He’s 73 years & still very active .. God bless our hard working men
This Man has forgotten more than most will ever know. I was trained by an older gentleman little did I know he was a legend his work spoke for him. Many of these men are taking their trade secrets with them to the grave, it seems no one is interested in acquiring inside information and tutoring in the right hands would put them years ahead of their colleagues. Much respect to this senior gentleman!
I love watching masters do their crafts. At some point it turns into artistry. Life gets hectic and a big blur but do not forget to stop and smell the flowers.
I sure wish there were more of them around. I would listen even closer now than I did when I was younger. I'm almost 64 now, and I guess I'm the one passing down some old tips and tricks. I've always respected old ways because sometimes you need to look back to look forward AKA the big picture! So, never look down on the past it just might save you.
Used to skip school alot just to hang around people like this, learned alot more than going to school and that's a fact. Celebrating 48 years of being in business because of tradesman I learned from. Keep it up my friend
This ol boy has forgotten more than most people will ever learn in their lifetime. A little word of advice to the younger generations, pay attention when people like this gentleman above speaks. His words and experiences he shares with you are more valuable than any Instagram post you’ll ever see. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Man I love seeing this!!! I bet that man has some Good Stories to tell, I could sit there and listen an learn all day. That’s the kinda teaching you can’t get in school, just a man doing what he loves til the day he can’t anymore. God Bless ❤😅
I know I love watching a well seasoned man such as this, doing what he loves, I'm sure that he has the wisdom of no other, probably forgot what most will ever learn, bottom line, talent at it's finesse and like no other, May God bless our elders and the one's they showed the fact's of life 🙏💯🇺🇸
I bet you this gentleman is one amazing braising, welder. Probably self taught and people travelled from far to have him do work for them. It's sad that this is a dying breed. There is nothing more rewarding than to create and build things with your bare hands. God Bless You Sir...❤🙏
Yes sir! Brazing... spent my youth LISTENING AND LEARNING from old timers! Nothing but respect sir! The knowledge and change this man has seen..... Nothing but 🙏
I appreciate and respect every old man like this I see. I’m so impressed by their work ethic and I love hearing stories they have to tell. Plus they like when someone wants to listen.
Nothing In My Heart Except Respect For A Man Of This Caliber !!!! Every Man Breathing Air On This Planet Should Strive To Live Up To This Man’s Level Of Standards That He Has Put On Himself. Cowboy The Hell Up America 💀
The knowledge you could gain if only took the time to sit down and listen to this man wood be worth a fortune god bless you sir wish you many more years doing what you love
These are the people that you should be learning for and showing respect. These trades I really only learned from people like this. Much respect to this man
I learned my job from a man named Joe winkler and he was 76 years old and still working while teaching me. He's passed away now but God bless and this man
2 things. God bless this man. Thank you for your work and time spent creating things for this world. ❤️ 2nd thing, this song. A masterpiece. Brilliant beautiful song. Thanks for posting.
my wifes late grandfather was a welder fitter plumber back in the 70s. i got to work with him in his last few years when he was retired. that man could do just about anything. i really enjoyed working with him us both being mechanical and could weld was really cool too. i learned a lot and he would use my eagle eyes to see when he couldn't see something really detailed. he helped me far more than he ever knew. thats been nearly 16 years ago.
Old timer still laying it down. You know he has amazing stories of situations hes been in & fixed over the years.. especially before all these tech gear came out. Hats off sir. Much respect
Pop, I love you!! You done good with everything you ever touched. Keep it up, its what keeps you going! I got some years on me now so im starting to understand just a little! Gen x!
Hes forgotten more than most young tradesmen will ever learn. These old legends have done it all,seen it all. If you get a chance to learn from a man with this much knowledge take it. It'll change your life.
Miss u Papa T. That wreck took u too soon. U did everything on ur own and took pride in it. U taught me the importance of growing my own crops. Every year I get those crops in the ground on Good Friday just like u taught me and I look up and say thank u 🙏🏻. They don’t make them like u anymore.
Reminds me of my Uncle Bob. He never made it to that age. Passed when he was 58. There was nothing he couldn't do at a professional level. Anything he picked up he excelled at
This dude has probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know! These guys are a treasure and if you have the access, you should just sit down and listen! Youll learn a lot they cant teach you in a classroom or a book!
If you're good at this... You'd be lucky to be doing it so well at that age, and blessed to reach that age watching the world change over 7+ decades has to be an absolute trip.
Is brought a tear to my eye it's made me cry remind me of my papaw which is no longer with me now he's in heaven ain't got to work a day in his life no more sit back and drink sweet tea on the porch now God bless you all amen
I was raised country and growing up I had neighbors named mister and miss eads and they was a very old couple but as a kid growing up I ate breakfast with them a lot of Saturday mornings growing up, the last breakfast I had was when I was 15 with them and miss eads passed away from cancer and that kinda stopped it all! She was like a second granny to me and I'm 29 years old now! There's way more to the story but please protect these people and respect your elders always!!❤ Country kid for life💯❤️
Use to go help my Papaw in his shop. Turn the crank on his blacksmith furnace. Watch the man braze using an old brass touch. Boy, I wish I'd paid more attention. He was a big man in these childhood eyes. Nothing he couldn't do... miss ya bunches Papaw... love ya...Kyboo...
Much respect sir! Hardworking people dedicated to a profession or a skilled task as this is a dying breed. I'm 44 and don't see this type of dedication in many people anymore!❤🙏
Stories and wisdom in that face . Make sure whatever age treat them with as much respect that you can give . For without them many of us would not be here we all come from someone older and did things the old fashioned way with your hands and determination compared to our modern toys . Without them we would not have them either.
When I see an old timer like this, I sit down and listen And that’s part of the problem no one wants to take the time to slow down and listen to the wisdom from his generation 💪
With his weathered , calseld hands and tired eyes . He could brase circles around a whole bunch of men that tried
SO MANY hateful boomers scares us away from the good ones
SAAAAAME!!!!
My grandpa was born in ‘37 to Alabama share croppers. Moved to Detroit in ‘56 to work at Ford. He had stories for days. I can recite every single one too.
It seems I’m starting to be the old guy 😮💨 I ain’t ready 😂😂
Yeah, they don't make em like that anymore, gentleman. Just guys like us with old souls stuck in a new world.
These men formed are country and once there gone us younger folks will never live with the knowledge these old timers had
My respect he still going! Got my first welding job at 20 at a fab shop. When I got on site I was given several 12” xray pipe welds that were all tacked ready to go. Me being green I was nervous and slow of course about lunch time came by the shop boss came up to me told me he can see I was green and not going to make the cut for me to roll up and leave the site I was fired. He said I know we all have day one but not here man sorry I need production so many inches of weld a day. I was devastated rolling my stuff up an older welder came up to me thick prescription glasses white hair I can see he been doing it for a while. He told me where you going I said I’m fired man I’m too green and slow. He said what no do you really want to leave of course I said no. He said wait here stop rolling up, he went to boss office came back few minutes later. Boss and older welder come up to me boss man says hey man I’m going to give you a chance to stay only bc this man Luis said he will watch over you and take you under his wing by the end of the week if I don’t see improvement or too many repairs you are gone. Boss left and Luis said ok man your first mistake is this and that your too cold turn up the heat feed wire like this etc all the tips and tricks. He let me watch him then he said ok your turn. Long story short I got the hang of welding faster and quality bc of Luis. I kept that job for 3 years. Towards the end we had a big emergency job a 42” spool piece to fab and weld. Some welders went to field they kept me and Luis at the shop we started welding the 42” bro in law. I could hear and see him struggling to put the root pass. Boss and owner of company were watching us also our fitters. I told Luis you want me to try helping you he said yes try it man I’m struggling to see I’m old your a young buck. So I welded his side came out good boss and owner and Luis said you weld it by yourself take your time. I did and it passed xray. I felt so proud. Luis hung up his hood after that day. Boss told Luis man the student became better than the teacher huh? Luis replied remember when you wanted to fire him after half day? Now you don’t want him to quit this place. I will never forget Luis older man that helped me with my career, this video reminded of him. God bless to all my welding and fitter people. Everyone really in business we all got one goal to get it in service and start producing more for the world.
4 me his name was Chief!!!
Nice story, thanks for taking the time to write it. Ol Luis sounds great bro. ❤
It was a man named Doug for me. His kindness and selfless help gave me an opportunity that changed the situation for me and my little family. That job was a stepping stone to my current job that has been a huge upgrade financially and security for my families future. All because a kind man took his time to teach a rookie the ropes. Even if he enjoyed yelling and cussing me in the process a little too much lol
@@SHAGG13 he is man, went back about 2 years after I quit that shop. He was still there but as the shop lead. Last time I seen him.
@@ronniemyers3278 lol some guys are like that showing tough love. Worked with a few. But yes Luis open the gates for me man, when I told him I had an opportunity to grow and make more money by leaving he told me I’m happy for you, go for it you are ready and will only get better. Put my 2 weeks notice boss tried to match pay but just couldn’t. He also finally said well man if you ever need work you more than welcome to come back. Left worked till I got me a rig truck traveled the US. Always thinking man if it wasn’t for Luis would I be here.
Pat McManus was spot on when he said every boy needs an old man. To all the old men out there taking the time to pass their knowledge on, thank you!
And thank you for reminding me that "God created March, should eternity be too short". And what an FMC is. I thought I was the only one that read the last laugh.
One of the best writers ever.
He was my dad’s favorite. Very funny man too.
Wish I got a chance to hang with my grandpa from my mom's side, and grandma from my dad's side. I Never got to grow up to know them even though I got pictures with them. Both passed away before I could even read, walk, or speak.

Same. After he got back from the war, he started welding at Fedral Cartridge. He did that well after he was supposed to retire. He loved it.
I just finished Welding college bro.. I hope I can still do it when I'm this old. Fair play to this elderly man. I'm 52 now. I started real late into my welding career.. LMAO.

He’s old..and?
Remember to do good in school, kids... lol
@ for real though
I owe who I am to all these men willing to take the time to share the knowledge they built over a lifetime GOD BLESS THESE FORGOTTEN DIAMONDS
They don’t make them like that anymore. The world needs people like this
100% respect.
It’s men like him who built America

Sounds familiar 😊 my dad passed 29 years ago,I still sometimes go to phone him ❤
I'm sure you learned a lot of just listening to him. Sorry for your loss.

You still have his memory’s and that’s something that you can never forget 👍
Sounds like my pop I miss you ol’man I love you and thin of you every day!!

That’s the kinda man that’s taught countless men how to be, Men!
We need to listen to these people who are so close to the pioneers that built this world. So much history, don't let it become lost . ❤️
My man’s a dyin breed. He’s lived through and done more than 95% of the population to walk this earth… the stories this man must have

Keep going sir!!! From a man raised by a WW2 combat engineer. Actually put me in tears
brought a tear here too.. Helped remind me that it's my job to both live and die In The Fight.
I would give anything to learn from him. Huge respect. A man who’s truly earned his stripes.
You can learn the world from men like this I know one changed my life
One of the few times the old shake doesn't ruin everything.
UA-cam has allowed the world to benefit from decades of skills and experience. Thanks to our elders for the knowledge to make our lives better. 👍
Gentlemen is like, what's a shield? My eyes? No they're fine!
He is brazing
@@gobblegobble239still best to have some non aggressive glasses types of shielding for brazing. Don’t sound stupid.
He's just brazing. Don't need welding goggles for that. Although I'd recommend just some regular gas station sunglasses. Helps prevent headaches.

All the respect to the Blue collard men that built and keep this country running. I am proud to be among you.
Used to skip school alot just to hang around people like this, learned alot more than going to school and that's a fact. Celebrating 48 years of being in business because of tradesman I learned from. Keep it up my friend
A great Generation, that has taught us so much.
I know I miss my parents of that generation. My Dad always was trying to show me things. ❤👍😎🇺🇸
This ol boy has forgotten more than most people will ever learn in their lifetime. A little word of advice to the younger generations, pay attention when people like this gentleman above speaks. His words and experiences he shares with you are more valuable than any Instagram post you’ll ever see. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Man I love seeing this!!! I bet that man has some Good Stories to tell, I could sit there and listen an learn all day. That’s the kinda teaching you can’t get in school, just a man doing what he loves til the day he can’t anymore. God Bless ❤😅
Gosto de ouvir as histórias desses velhotes trasem muita bagagem....❤❤❤❤
My father was a simple German-trained carpenter, a true artist with wood, that worked with his hands. Much respect to ALL tradespeople!❤❤❤
We need an interview!
I know I love watching a well seasoned man such as this, doing what he loves, I'm sure that he has the wisdom of no other, probably forgot what most will ever learn, bottom line, talent at it's finesse and like no other, May God bless our elders and the one's they showed the fact's of life 🙏💯🇺🇸
I bet you this gentleman is one amazing braising, welder. Probably self taught and people travelled from far to have him do work for them. It's sad that this is a dying breed. There is nothing more rewarding than to create and build things with your bare hands. God Bless You Sir...❤🙏
Yes sir! Brazing... spent my youth LISTENING AND LEARNING from old timers! Nothing but respect sir! The knowledge and change this man has seen..... Nothing but 🙏
This is a man who does not know the word "can't." Much respect.
I appreciate and respect every old man like this I see. I’m so impressed by their work ethic and I love hearing stories they have to tell. Plus they like when someone wants to listen.
Nothing In My Heart Except Respect For A Man Of This Caliber !!!! Every Man Breathing Air On This Planet Should Strive To Live Up To This Man’s Level Of Standards That He Has Put On Himself. Cowboy The Hell Up America 💀
It's so great to see people of his age still got it my hats off to you sir
Watching our heros get up in their years hurts. Cherish every moment.
We would ALL benefit from knowing this MAN ,and the others

God bless this man! He is a true inspiration to all !
So much respect brother may God bless and give you peace strength and wisdom for many years to come 🙏🙌🙏
The knowledge you could gain if only took the time to sit down and listen to this man wood be worth a fortune god bless you sir wish you many more years doing what you love
Even at my age , and I'm almost retirement age, my uncles are great to listen to for the stories they have, they are the best people to learn from,
Much love ❤️ n respects for people like this hard working young man.. 💪💪💪💪💪😎😎😎😎 LORD bless this young man 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪💪💪💪👍👍👍👍😎😎
These are the people that you should be learning for and showing respect. These trades I really only learned from people like this. Much respect to this man
I learned my job from
a man named Joe winkler and he was 76 years old and still working while teaching me. He's passed away now but God bless and this man
I learned all my metalworking skills from men like this . Respect
These are our hero's.. Showing respect to all who built us..❤❤
Thank you to the men who shaped my life with their skills. Michael mostly thank you for time.
2 things. God bless this man. Thank you for your work and time spent creating things for this world. ❤️ 2nd thing, this song. A masterpiece. Brilliant beautiful song. Thanks for posting.
God bless our older people ....my respect to their hard work in this world and their stories and the difference they make and made ❤
Much respect to him for still getting it done!
my wifes late grandfather was a welder fitter plumber back in the 70s. i got to work with him in his last few years when he was retired. that man could do just about anything. i really enjoyed working with him us both being mechanical and could weld was really cool too. i learned a lot and he would use my eagle eyes to see when he couldn't see something really detailed. he helped me far more than he ever knew. thats been nearly 16 years ago.
Old timer still laying it down. You know he has amazing stories of situations hes been in & fixed over the years.. especially before all these tech gear came out. Hats off sir. Much respect
Pop, I love you!! You done good with everything you ever touched. Keep it up, its what keeps you going! I got some years on me now so im starting to understand just a little! Gen x!
Hes forgotten more than most young tradesmen will ever learn. These old legends have done it all,seen it all. If you get a chance to learn from a man with this much knowledge take it. It'll change your life.
Miss u Papa T. That wreck took u too soon. U did everything on ur own and took pride in it. U taught me the importance of growing my own crops. Every year I get those crops in the ground on Good Friday just like u taught me and I look up and say thank u 🙏🏻. They don’t make them like u anymore.
Id visit him everyday! Love listening old timers especially the ones trucking along like this badass
Reminds me of my Uncle Bob. He never made it to that age. Passed when he was 58. There was nothing he couldn't do at a professional level. Anything he picked up he excelled at
Getting Old Isn't Difficult..
U just have to live long enough !
This dude has probably forgotten more than most of us will ever know! These guys are a treasure and if you have the access, you should just sit down and listen! Youll learn a lot they cant teach you in a classroom or a book!
If you're good at this... You'd be lucky to be doing it so well at that age, and blessed to reach that age watching the world change over 7+ decades has to be an absolute trip.
Is brought a tear to my eye it's made me cry remind me of my papaw which is no longer with me now he's in heaven ain't got to work a day in his life no more sit back and drink sweet tea on the porch now God bless you all amen
I was raised country and growing up I had neighbors named mister and miss eads and they was a very old couple but as a kid growing up I ate breakfast with them a lot of Saturday mornings growing up, the last breakfast I had was when I was 15 with them and miss eads passed away from cancer and that kinda stopped it all! She was like a second granny to me and I'm 29 years old now! There's way more to the story but please protect these people and respect your elders always!!❤ Country kid for life💯❤️
Knowledge Skill respect a teacher if only youth would listen hands on will always be needed thanks Pop 👍🇬🇧
Proof that aging can just be a number this man is old and still going strong 💪. Keep it up
A true master never retires!
GOD BLESS HIM......
I'll be working my vegetable garden till I'm the compost!!
The Amount of knowledge that guy has is what Americas youth needs today
100% I salute you sir. May your legacy live on
Use to go help my Papaw in his shop. Turn the crank on his blacksmith furnace. Watch the man braze using an old brass touch. Boy, I wish I'd paid more attention. He was a big man in these childhood eyes. Nothing he couldn't do... miss ya bunches Papaw... love ya...Kyboo...
Much respect sir! Hardworking people dedicated to a profession or a skilled task as this is a dying breed. I'm 44 and don't see this type of dedication in many people anymore!❤🙏
Stories and wisdom in that face . Make sure whatever age treat them with as much respect that you can give . For without them many of us would not be here we all come from someone older and did things the old fashioned way with your hands and determination compared to our modern toys . Without them we would not have them either.
