Greetings from Sydney Australia.The only wish I have is wish this video was 8hrs long..I’ve watched it several times.What a fantastic idea!!! Love your work!!!

BTK?

@herrickkimball Why did you use sheet metal screws? Would wood screw work? Awsom video! Thanks

Awesome!!! Don't have to know why it works so long as it WORKS!!! Thanks for sharing this with us! Have a good one and May God bless y'all, Bocephus!

The princess auto magnetic strips are wall mounted and super strong to hold most light metal tool. very good video friend!

For simplicity, I call them pancake style. I can stack them in my wood stove. I’m in NM and it only takes one summer to dry. I found out pancake stack in the stove ( with low air) can almost last all night. We have a lack of hardwood here, so I use Mulberry. ( very hard wood with good BTU’s.). Flat is where it’s at. I used my splitter till I was 72. Got difficult to carry around those pieces. Also did them vertical. Much easier to sit and split, then grabbing another round to slide over and split. Good to see this. ( thought I was the only one!) lol!

Good god, why not use a nail gun?

I love this, so simple,. Great guy.

Excellent video, I've done this before and it's like premium high quality hay. And if it drys enough you can store it in garage cans for a year or more. I do this so in the winter I can refresh my hen laying boxes with soft bedding that will keep the eggs from getting muddy..if you can keep them from eating it, they love it.

Looks like you were using water based paint and not oil based paint. Type of paint was not mentioned

Flat wood dries faster too

I appreciate your mention of making the flange split and that the material is flexible enough to accommodate being fitted around plumbing that way. I appreciate your attention to detail and the simplified means by which you accomplished your goal. The shop-bought escutcheons rust and look awful -- I wanted something simple, clean, and well fitted. Thanks to you, I'll start working with PVC.

Working smarter not harder, thanks for the tip.

Consider me inspired. I’ve watched this video 3 times, and reorganized my shop utilizing this technique

You took plenty of time to patiently explain how it was made but seemed to rush through showing the applications. It would have been great to see more of where you use this and what knots you use with it.

I wish I had made my tags closer to planting as I don't recall the dates I planted anymore -- but I do plan to tag my special trees and plants so the future owners will know what is what

I bag it off the mower and use it green. I'm careful to not let it pile on tomato stems and other plants. Seems to work good for us. Green grass seems to make a nice weed barrier matt that dry hay or straw doesn't. If you use green grass don't leave it in a pile to long before you spread it cause it gets smoking hot.

What is the tool you use to bash the corners?

My thornless are big as my thumb. I have to prune them well.

I love Homemade ..Back to lights , stoves etc..

Excellent demonstration

RAM JAM

absolutely awesome! Brings back old memories of working with what we had. It is way more satisfying to create something like this than buying.

So, you’re really not toenailing, you’re toescrewing.

Waw awesome

Thank you.. Its amazing EXPERENTIAL learning

Good video. I am making a sign for my wife's garden, using an offcut of oak. Oak is a lot harder to carve, but with patience I am getting there!

Just throw them tools into your closet and pile it up. works great, been doing it for years.

I have to admit, the magnets are pretty cool

Dude, the name of your lamps if named after the song should be called" Black Betty" because that's the name of the song that you are talking about. Just thought you should know that. But hey you call them whatever you want but again the name of the song is Black Betty and it came from a song that was sung by the blacks in the fields. But I do like the lamps.

Mr. Kimball from "Green Acres"?

I wanna pardy with this dude!

How about the venom gas It will discharge in a closed room? Do you have any evaluation?

Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Whoa, Black Betty, bam-ba-lam Black Betty had a child, bam-ba-lam The damn thing gone wild, bam-ba-lam - Ram Jam

I need to build a fence to protect my dogs up here in the very rocky Sangre de Cristo mountains, and I didn't have much hope until seeing this video. Thank you so much, Mr. Kimball.

Gruesome 😂

A great idea. Thanks.

I'm going through the attic, I'll repair the hole later. But if you're Airborne... That's another story.

Get a electric jack hammer

In Australia we call this a crow bar.😊

Love coming to a video and seeing so many positive comments, Way to go guys! Great video sir

But, how much of that screw is going into the horizontal?

By the looks of the crops around. you are on pretty good soil. That bar you have will not go through rocks. If you are in rocky soil and land right on top of a large rock it won't to anything and you will never be able to pry it to the side.. The best approach is a gas powered hammer drill with a bit appropriately sized for the t-post.

This is an interesting solution. I repurpose nails from pallets that I disassemble, the healthy and straight-ish ones. I nail them at an angle and according to each tool's shape and they do this job perfectly well, they're quite solid.

Where do you find the oil ?
