Watch clock restoration? YES PLEASE- it’s trippy to think the last time that mechanism in Pete’s hand was probably held by someone, was in the 1860’s. WOW!!!!
I grew up on a farm and butchering was a part of life. It's sad that someone would take offense to seeing how people feed themselves. Great videos, keep it up.
Exactly. Like if they watched commercial butchering, they might quit eating. Pete does it humanely.
I met some kids that thought meat came from the supermarket. It was grown or something in the back and they just brought it out so you could buy it. They never saw a cow or a goat. Lived in a major city.
@@theeaskey Lol! Yep, milking a cow is about as cruel as it gets!
But they sure love their Chick Fil A and Quarter Pounders!
I also grew up on farm and butchering was a part of life and it still is here
The clock restoration would definitely be of interest. Loved the sausage grinding too today!
From tractor mechanic to watchmaker , there will be a big difference in bushing sizes . Pete you are a remarkable man
I would love to see more about the church clock restoration. Also that hot sausage made me hungry!
I vote yes on the clock.
Pete, the wide variety of talents you have along with the depth of expertise in each area is incredible.
2 for the clock videos.

It refreshing to see your willingness to try to repair items rather than just discarding. You are helping to keep history alive. I think some videos on restoring the clock would be interesting.
I agree would love to see the clock repaired I think it would b a interesting video and I'm sorry UA-cam is giving you a hard time with monetizing your videos you would think they would recognize that the videos are educational and that people could learn some stuff from them and that you are trying to b as sensitive as possible
Thank you for your time,,,,enjoyed being part of your day,,,🤤🤤😇😍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Would love to see a clock repair and restoration vid! keep up the good work Pete and family!
I agree
Ditto for the clock restoration! We would love to see it!
Can not win them all. I saw the video and there was nothing that I did not like but then again I lived on a farm when I was young. Keep the videos coming, they are great.
I feel your frustration with YT. They will demonetize cracking an egg over a frying pan next. Is there any wonder kids of today are so divorced from the food they eat. Knowing the whole process gives you a better appreciation for the food we eat. Thank you for your effort to create great videos.
The people you would offend with a hog butchering video think food comes from a paper bag at a place that has these big golden arches outside. They have no clue what goes on outside the basement of their parents house.
Hillary is an absolute gem - loved seeing her interaction on this video.
Thanks so much for all content you provide.
Clock repair would be great! Great job Pete & family. Love your farm life & your laid back presentation.
I'm all in for a series on the historic church clock ⏰️ restoration Pete. I'd love it also if you were able to preserve what's left of the original label.
Love your show!
It's nice to see Hillary always at your side,,,she is very quiet & humble,,,she is nice to see you work COMFORTABLY Together.🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pete, I love watching you and Hillary working together - such an easy, positive relationship! Yes, I would like to see the clock restored - it’s very kind of you to take the project on.
Yes! I would like to see the click restoration. I've always been curious about how clocks work, and you have a very good way of presenting complicated systems in an understandable way. I finally understand how a transmission works and I look forward to understanding clocks better.
Hey Pete this is Russ down here in Johnstown PA definitely would like to see more of that clock getting done I really like your channel very entertaining. And very educational
Altoona
I’m always amazed at your talents. I just watched you butcher/cut/wrap a pig, fix an antique clock, and work on your tractor motors. I also watched you renovate your home, and sale at the farmers market. It is fun to watch your wonderful life on your family farm.
The ones that demonitized the video probably think that the only way you can get sausage is at the store, they have no clue how things are done in real life. I can remember going to my grandmother's every Thanksgiving to get the next year's meat. It was one time outside of family reunion that almost all of the family would be together. Those were some of the best times that I remember growing up.
I’d like to see the clock restoration. I’ve got a pig we will hopefully be doing soon. I’ve done lots of deer, bear and goats but this will be my first pig.
Hmmmm, bear meat!!!
Tasty????🐻 🤔 😂🤣
@@loughman2629 yea it is. Kinda like pork with the fat. We hunt them here in Aroostook county after they’ve been fattening up for winter.
I've had bear on two occasions. One time as jerky. I didn't care for it either time.
Hey Pete, I’ve been watching the channel for a long time now and I always look forward to your videos. Unfortunately the world is soft and doesn’t like how things really need to be done. I always enjoyed your butchering videos. Things like that always interested me and I always learn something new. I hope you continue to do videos like that even when they get demonetized. Be cool to see you do a deer butcher video. The clock videos are another series I’m looking forward too. Hope you guys have a nice winter. I’ll be watching from Southeastern Pa!
I don't think the world is soft, or people are any more sqeamish or easier to offend than they ever were. It's the advertisers that are trying to sell a perfect clean world with soft edges, and their ads next to the reality of how meat is grown and processed doesn't fit in that. Content from the real world doesn't help them sell their frozen chicken nuggets or shampoo or perfectly clean trucks driving through the desert. It's great that Pete is willing to spend his time and energy to make educational videos that he doesn't make any money on.
@@stephenroylance3958 Advertisers or UA-cam using them as an excuse?
@@stephenroylance3958 People are definitely “softer” in the 21st century. AC, Central heat, easy, cheap food all make for soft living.
@@mightyminifarm softer than the generation that lived through the dustbowl maybe, but by the 1950s post-war period, there was a period of prosperity that we haven't seen since. My dad was able to work summers for his step-dad and that was enough to survive on and pay tuition the rest of the year. You can't tell me kids these days are softer, when so many of them work full time jobs while going to school.
@@stephenroylance3958 I completely agree with you on the 1950’s post war period of prosperity. That period lasted roughly 40 years and we are definitely trending down now. However, most of the current generation has still significantly benefited from parents or grandparents accumulated wealth through that period of prosperity. Much of America is completely separated from life and death, the food chain, and what it really takes to survive. We live “clean” lives completely dependent upon the electrical grid and the “system”. Whenever the American experiment comes to an end, it will be bloody chaos as you’ll have an entire populace armed to the teeth with 98% of them having no idea how to fend for themselves.
I love all your videos and am constantly learning new things from y'all. I used to be a tobacco farmer and still grow vegetables but never had livestock. By the time I came along, my family had got out of it. As for UA-cam, don't let them stop you from making videos on butchering. I never killed and butchered a hog but enjoy watching the process. I'm sure there are a lot of people out there that want to learn this and you are a great teacher Mr. Pete. One thing we have all learned is that the secret to your success is Miss Hilarie. She's an awesome helper!
Pete, I'm new to your videos, watching you repair that clock reminds me of a visit to my uncles farm in Wexford Ireland. His hobby was collecting clocks in need of repairs, he had clocks all over his house and in his work shop next to the barn. You brought back fond memories. Thanks for the videos.
I’d love to see that historical clock fixed. I know nothing about clocks, so it would be very entertaining and informative for me.
Definitely would love to see you fixing the clock in a video!!!
Yes sir, very interested in seeing the clock repair video.
Thanks for taking one for the team.
Great work to you both on the sausage making.
*_”If you don’t eat your meat, you can’t have any pudding!_*
*_How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat your meat?_*
*_You, yes you… STAND STILL LADDIE!”_*
My wife said yes to watching more of the clock repair. i like watching the rebuild on the tractor.
I, myself, would love to see something like that. I am always interested in seeing old thing repaired instead of being replaced.
Oh, yes, I remember those big food prep times at the farm. I was no where to be found for the actual harvesting of the stock, but count me in for sausage making! When the whole family pitched in for these projects, it took on a bit of a holiday atmosphere, with my dad telling stories as we worked, and my mom playing polka music on the radio. It was the same for chicken plucking, apple picking and canning, and putting up of garden produce. I was quite the whiz on the paring knife.
I have a Howard Miller wall clock. It just keeps on ticking, but if it stops I will definitely get it repaired. It's good to know that I can probably find someone to manage that. So it is interesting to say the least. A clock that was on the church wall for that long is a wonder! Just think how many young men looked up at that clock and thought, "In a half hour, I will be a married man..." Or the children who looked at it despairingly, and thought, "Will the pastor EVER be done with his sermon??"
My dad was a watch and clock repairman in the late 1940's and 1950's in Texas. He liked wood working also. In early 1970's he built grandfather clock cases and bought clock works for his five daughters ! We cherish them more so now he has passed on. I just had to replace the works in mine, and it looks nice in my living room. Like seeing all your clocks and knowing you work on them.
Definitely want to see the. Lock restored! Soon all those who don’t allow this and don’t allow that may very well find themselves wishing they knew how to do many of the tasks that we as farmers perform.
They’ll go from screaming against us to screaming for us to help them, show them , or more than likely that we do it for them.
Just a quick tip for you, if you drape a clean damp wash cloth over the grind plate while grinding that will stop the spitting problem. Learned that 40 years ago while working in a butcher shop. Always look forward to your videos, take care.
@@userjeffe Think the grinder has enough pressure to press some cloth out of the way... However the spits wont have enough energy in them to move the cloth.. Thus stopping the spitting..
@@userjeffe it just drapes over the end, kind of like a mud flap.
Dealin' with UA-cam censors is like dealin' with Jello before it solidifies!!! 👍💪🙏
Absolutely! Great analogy!
The UA-cam people were most likely hangry. It was time for lunch and they were waiting for their double bacon cheeseburger lunch. Your video was a first class educational video. Sorry UA-cam couldn't see that while eating their lunch.
Yes to clock restoration videos. Yes to banjo and guitar videos too! A long segment of dad jokes … you wouldn’t dare!!
Hillary & Pete are a great couple. They complement each other perfectly. I would like to see some clock restoration videos.
Thanks Pete and Hilarie. When you were grinding up the meat and tasting it my wife and I looked at each other and said who does that sound like 🤣. Would love to see a video of the clock getting restored.
When it was squirting while grinding I would sing "Hey teachers, leave them kids alone!" LOL
I'm from Pennsylvania but have lived in Arkansas for the last 5 years my family has just got 70 Acres and are starting a farm I have chickens right now but I like your videos you inspire me.. but I would like to see the clock worked on.
Enjoy y’all doing the butcher of the pig , I was looking forward to seeing the videos start to finish…Great job ! Watch your videos every week
We've done a lot of meat processing. Not as much now that we are getting older but it's good to see you processing your own food 👍
Processing meat grown on your place is simply part of country life, farm life. That Facebook would shut that off is so wrong. If you consider also posting on Rumble we will most certainly follow you there.
Pete, I really appreciate all your content on the channel! I really have changed my mind set on doing chores twice a day on our farm after watching your videos. Thanks for all you and Hillary do!
Another great video showing the harvest of the pig and then grinding the meat to make yummy sausage. The sausage will taste so good in future meals. Yes, please continue to show more detailed clock repairs along with operational explanations. Your historical information on clocks is a bonus.
So satisfying to witness the notable enjoyment you both have in performing such tasks...togetherness!
Just simply thank you Pete and Hillary.
I really liked your video, Hillary is so sweet and kind the way you look at her is so sweet. You two work very well together. Thank you for the butchering videos, even though you weren’t compensated monetarily for all your hard work to show them to us. Thank you for the gift. We appreciate it!
Please show your work on the clock. We have one similar to yours on the mantle that needs to be repaired. It is about 100 years old. Very interesting.
It is good that you know how to butcher. I have butchered the butcher process for years and videos like this primarily from the bearded butchers helped me know what to do. So thanks Pete.
To be honest Pete, it really doesn’t matter what you upload; It’s oddly interesting 😁. And I think that’s to do with both the friendly way you present your videos and the feeling of “visiting a good friend” that it instills us viewers. So, yes, as many have stated, we’re all for the clock restoration 👍
My late husband and I used to butcher 2 hogs each fall and cut and grind our own . watching you and Hillary makes me miss that time of Year we never used to use casing to often . We always had to do the sausage taste test lol . We did a couple grinds we got spoiled the stuff you buy just don't seem the same. We also processed our Elk and Deer if we got one and our own beef as well. When I first found your channel you was butchering a hog lifting with your tractor it realed me right n just cuz you and Hillary do many things we used to and it's nice to watch a clean family farm channel. Thanks guys Have a great evening
When you said, "Hot sausage sandwich", my eyes widened and my mouth watered. Hahahaha
Tip from someone who came from the environmental world: Never use a Sharpie on meat bags or vacuum bags where the meat is on the other side of the plastic. The acetone and other volatiles leach straight into the food.
I'm sorry that you had those problems with the previous video. I thought it was very educational and needed in these times of shortages and high prices. You and Hillary are a fine team. Thankyou
Hey Pete, glad you had time to show the sausage making with Hillary and your examination of the clock. Your farm and hobbies are very interesting to me. Thank you!
I would really enjoy videos of your repair and refurbishment of the old church clock. You are a man of many talents.
I really enjoy your diverse, self sustaining approach to life. The clock reminds me of the tractor transmission teardown of late and would like to see more of both. Keep up the good work!
Watching you ground up the meat brings back memories from when I was a child my grandmother and grandfather had a farm raising chicken and hogs oh yes I remember those days well thank you so much doing what you do it's not easy but it's worth it
Yes to the clock project. In the past I restored several old clocks. Now I am the antique!
My dad was a butcher and we butchered our own meat, ground it into sausage, etc. This brought back great memories. I’d like to share a recipe for rolled roast. Take a beef brisket, slice a side of it open like a book, pat pork sausage onto it, roll it up, tie it with string and roast it low and slow. The pork fat moistens the brisket. It just melts in your mouth.
Love when Hillary is on. You guys make a great team and your versatility of skills is impressive. As a mechanic I find that most mechanical things overlap. I would not presume to claim that I could fix an old clock but given time I might get it done. Thanks for sharing Pete! Always entertaining and educational!
Love the video. Brought back memories of Mom's old hand meat grinder attached to a cutting board. It was our job to use it. Still have it. Good stuff. Go Dawgs!
“Uhh….very satisfying”. That was hilarious Pete!
Thank you so much for your hard work of showing us butchering a pig. I grew up helping on Uncle's farm. Remember chicken and cow butchering, wasn't around for the pigs. Thank you!
I love that you stopped in the middle of stuffing sausage so you could cook some to ensure that it was spicy enough! 😂
Clock restoration is a yes for me!!! 😊
That electric grinder reminds me of my grandmother's and mother's old hand grinder we used every Thanksgiving and Christmas to grind ingredients for the Turkey stuffing. Man we had sore arms afterwards, but we always fought over who got to grind.
Yes, by all means do a clock repair video!
I'm so sorry that your Video of butchering the Pig wasn't monetized. I found that Video to be educational because I have never seen an Animal being Butchered except on UA-cam. The varied subject matter is so educational especially for those who have never had that experience. I have learned so much from Individuals such as yourself because you've have shared experiences on this Platform that are new to me. Thank you.
I find all of your videos interesting. Quite frankly the variety of the subjects is part of their appeal so yes, I would enjoy seeing how an old wall clock is repaired.
Good job! I lived on a cattle, chicken, horse farm. Almost a ranch. Tons of work.
Always enjoy your channel. I help my son butcher his pork for the year, part of life. I would enjoy watching you repair the clock. Thanks for the great channel, keep up the good work.
YOUR patients is beyond belief!..............thank you for posting !
In 2020, when meat got scarce I the grocery stores, my neighbors and I bought 5 pigs from a farmer. We dressed and cut them up on Saturday, made sausage on Sunday. Long hard work for a weekend, but very satisfying to know that we didn't have to rely on a grocery store to produce food. Great video Pete!
I would be very interested in seeing "the rest of the story" about this old clock. Love your videos, thanks so much!
Thanks Pete an Hillary, enjoyed the meat grinding, also listening an old clock repair, all your videos are GREAT.
WOW! I'm so sorry Pete....I do love your videos...I love you and Hillary working together....I love seeing your farm...Thank you so much
Do the restoration video please
You have so much enthusiasm with all your videos and that makes it hard too stop watching
When I was young we had a farm that operated just like yours but sadly it’s a neighbourhood now
Keep up the great work and pride in what you do !
Good way to make the most of a cold day
Thank you for your service. Semper Fi.
Great videos as always! I would agree, the clock should have some videos. This is part of your farm life in the winter and the fact that the clock is historic is really neat.
Don't you think it is about TIME we had a clock restoration video? I would love to see that. It is something I have never seen, but you make it so interesting. Please do.
Thumbnail of this video makes me right away think of one Seinfeld episode where Kramer and Newman were making sausages at Jerry's kitchen. Complete with the music.
Always a good day when you upload pete!
I would love to see a video or two on the restoration of the clock. I love you're videos I get excited when I see a new one has came out.
I can't really think of anything that you could possibly make videos about that I wouldn't want to watch. Because I already watch every single video regardless of content. Clock fixing? BRING IT! Nothing better than homemade hot sausage!!💯❤️
Killing on the farm is part of life. People today are removed from food production and their is nothing gross or disrespectful as long as it is done well. Just like we saw on this channel. Thumb up.
I would really enjoy a video on the clock restoration! Stay safe!! Best wishes from Kentucky!
Finding ways to weasel out of paying anyone anything is a point of pride to most corpo-critters. The reason they give is simply window dressing for their naked greed.
These videos are for learning about animals how people live also for others to learn if they need help with homesteading UA-cam can’t be soft they are trying to show there life just like everyone else on here.Keep up with the videos I love your channel.
you are really lucky to have such a understanding and helpful wife!
Appreciate you putting out the previous video. It’s a challenge for everyone, as advertisers raise holy hell if their content is placed next to something they object to. I recently removed monetization for a brand channel I manage as it just was too much to deal with, but it’s not a significant source of revenue for us anyways. For a small farm it makes more of a difference, so least we can do is like and comment to help performance.
❤🎉Butchering your pig and making your own sausage qas rewarding. Also restoration of the clock would be great. I like anything like that. Also enjoyed you gixing your tractors and painting them. So Beautiful.
Keep it up. I love your families and videos.❤✝️
The clock restoration would be amazing. Please include this project in your videos. Most people are disconnected from where their food comes from. We raise pork and chicken for our own consumption. Much better quality than what’s purchased at the local grocery store.
Yes Please! I love that u got so excited about the the opertunity to do something nice for someone else! That's great!
Yesssssss I want to watch you fix this clock!!!! Please? Thank you so much, Pete and Hillary! Ha ha! I got to watch the pig butchering! And thank you for that!
Pete, loved watching the process of butchering you own Hog. You might try buying a roll of Shrink Wrap on a Spool at Home Depot for your wrapping. Goes a long way!
Love to see the church clock repaired!
As an old clockmaker myself I use to LOVE it when a clock came in that was time only and no strike. Far far easier to work on. Alas, there were not a lot of those.
Pete, love your videos, very meaningfull. Just a note on griding meats, my mother would always run a couple pieces of stale bread at the end to get all the meat out of the grinder, and depending on what she was preparing the ground bread would be incorporated into the dish or discarded, but that's how she got the tail ends of the meat out of the grinder.
Don't be discourged by U-Tube monetyzation, some day people are going to realize the value of filling thier freezers with thier own butchered meat.
Aloha.........
I would enjoy watching and listening to you as you repair the church clock from Groton, Connecticut. Additionally a road trip to the church when the repair is complete and possibly a peak at any celebrations or re-installation ceremonies at the church would be interesting. I suppose there might be some older church members who would have memories and stories to tell of the church in which the clock played a role. All that being said, I would not want to miss or take away anything from the activities associated with the MD restoration.
Thank you for sharing the story about the clock. All these things are important to document for posterity and history. They tell significant stories about life in our time. Thanks for sharing your stories with us.
The clock story and restoration would DEFINITELY be an interest!
Reminded me of “The jungle” when you were feeding pork and said “t can’t put a finger on it”. The only butchering videos I have seen on tube started with cutting a headless hanging frame, then working down. My neighbor used to break meat as a hobby, bringing calves home, and would break deer and elk for me, only asking to keep sausage for himself. I miss that Swiss butcher.
