Building and Installing My Favorite Kind of Gate Latch

[@diannmorrison5865]

You are teaching lessons that not only apply to planning projects, welding, fence building, gates and latches but to life itself. Thank you. You are kind and thoughtful. 🙂

[@gregedmand9939]

Here we go again with Professor Tyler, showing why he would be on the recruiting list (if that was his interest) for instructor at the best Tech and Community colleges: knowledge, experience and personality. The little tip about how vital it is to be self-disciplined and as accurate as possible, even when it's not vital, is a real gem. Far too many people only learn this after years of floundering and wondering why being "just good enough" isn't the road to making a real success story.

[@daleredmond6449]

One person owning and running a farm/ranch is a never ending job, thanks for the video Tyler

[@philstocks7859]

I realize this gate latch catch was a fairly simple project, but once again, it is really enjoyable to watch a good fabricator at work. Good job!!!

[@patriciabeyer8029]

My 10 year old Great Grandson is visiting me for a couple of days. He watched your video with me and enjoyed it. He said he knows our food comes from farmers. 👍🙏☝️😊😊 Smart boy.

[@AnneBell-g6f]

I think I'm right in saying that I have been here since nigh on the start of your channel. I have never been bored, ever. How you've progressed during that time is fantastic. What I can say truthfully is your Grandpa will be so proud of you. Sitting up there watching with a HUGE smile on his face. Also watching you and your lovely wife raise two beautiful children and not forgetting Callie and other pups along the way. I wish you the very best in all that you do. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👍💕💕🙏🙏🙏🙏💕💕

Tyler - even after commenting on your channel before, I found it necessary to do so once again. In addition to your easy-going yet very insightful delivery, you continue to amaze us with the wisdom and maturity beyond your years. The obvious testament to that fact are the endless positive comments every viewer expresses. You are a most enlightening escape in this crazy world we’re in!

Tyler, I appreciate your workmanship and thinking things through. I am tired of being around people who have the good enough mentality. Love your channel. Peter, SC

[@denault3985]

Tyler should be an agriculture teacher/instructor since he explanes his tasks so well.

[@miriambertram2448]

Perhaps when he gets all of his jobs done on the farm LOL he can do that. However you are correct he would be the most perfect and excellent instructor in that situation.

[@thecman26]

An internship perhaps? Since you won't learn much in a day or two.

[@kkeenan536]

I’d love to see a fast forward of the clean up! Always so satisfying to watch a messy area become “clean” (empty, cleared of stuff!)

Practicing precision when it doesn’t matter really helps you out when it does 👏👏👏

[@herdingcats3850]

I respect your desire to be as precise as possible. Good workmanship. Get a used bathtub.

As a viewer of your channel for many years, I’m thankful you never run out of projects. 😉 You’re very good with your videos in content, recording and editing. You could double the length of them and I’d still watch every minute. I think you’re very creative and I love watching you build things. I’m a creative stay-at-home mom and have tackled many crazy projects. It’s a blast and I like seeing my projects completed. Thanks for great content. I’m from Oklahoma but also have a home in Visalia, just south of you. Tell the cute family hello 😎.

You are such a good teacher; Have you ever considering hiring for the busy summer season, a young person who wants to be a Rancher someday? There is so much wisdom in that brain of yours! Nope, I never get tired of watching you manage your Ranch. My motto for you is The Renew, Recycle, Reuse Rancher! How about lining your tank with thick pool liner? Is that even economically feasible?

[@cindydonaldson1961]

I do believe your c clamps have more than paid for themselves. As always great job and great video.

Just a little food for thought. I put driveway underlayment fabric down and then put gravel on top of that where all my gates are. It has been several years and not a drop of mud in those areas. Worked really well for me. Good luck

You are correct. No shortage of projects to document for videos. Thank you for the concise explanations as you progress through each task. The concrete water tank is a great idea! Perhaps two drain pipes with valves? One on each side.

Your critics on attention to detail exemplify the difference between a craftsman and everyone else. IMO, if a job is worth doing, it’s worth doing to the best of your abilities. Fellow craftsmen can tell the difference between #1 work and all the rest. Well done…as usual!

[@jameseidahl367]

Nice video once again. Always new projects and always a variety of things to do. That's one thing I really like about your channel. It's not the same chores and project repeated over and over. Yes there are repeat chores, but it's always mixed with new projects, repairs, and clean up too. Good variety, makes for a good channel. Thank you for that process! I think you need a dry big dry erause board in your shop, with "the project list". (Kinda like Evan does on Country View Acers or like they do on My Wyoming Life channels). I write list for myself all the time, to say organized and remember to do stuff. It is effective and it helps you see what you got done and need done. Thanks for a great channel!

If you ever make concrete stock tanks, you could always try roll on pond liner to both reduce seepage and make them easier to clean.

Tyler you're always improvements for the ranch things looking very nice lot of hard work with it . Well Done 👍

[@billymc1628]

I've suggested this before as far as the stock tank goes. It sounds like you are going to make a concrete tank , so I'm suggesting after the tank is built, prior to adding the water, go ahead and lay 2 layers of matt fiberglass on the inside and overlap over the lip and then sand the whole area after the resin sets. Then paint the whole area with gelcoat or Flex seal paint. It will last a lifetime and easy to repair if needed.

[@mikelabell3050]

How about using up some leftover bathroom tiles to line the inside?

[@donnaml8776]

Oh hey 112K viewers!!! YAY 😃 Yeah, there are bunch of things I agree with that you said, and I like the way you put it. -Do it right the first time, every time. Even if it’s a small job, because you’re improving your skills each time you do. -Your videos are never boring. And it’s neat to kind of be apart of it. -You’re jobs are never ending, but that’s all apart of ranching and life. -Thanks for mentioning about the goodie bucket for the steer. I wondered what your thought were on that. There are a lot of channels out there, so what you’re doing as far as the work is concerned, is only apart of why people keep coming back. The other part is You. You’re a good teacher, you do your best, you care a lot for your animals, and you love your family. You’re down to earth. These are the things people want in life, and enjoy seeing in other’s lives. It’s not having millions, and beating the other guy down. It’s being real, showing you care, and taking good care of what is yours and who is yours. Thanks for sharing. Greetings to Mrs FTR, the rest of your family, and Cali ❤

[@dm55]

I was just watching Sonne Farms and thought you may want to watch how they cap the fence pipes. Seems easy and effective. Just as thought.

[@peterkoster5053]

Hey Tyler, when patching try use urethane not silicon because when I worked in auto body and replaced windshields to make the urethane cure faster we would spray water on the windshield to cure it faster. Someone would want their car back and after 2 hours if we wet the wind shield the car was good to go.

[@joehairston4159]

I’m not sure about your area, but here in Central Texas, we can buy a precast concrete tank for just slightly more than a rubber or galvanized steel tank. A concrete tank will last as long as that fence you just built.

[@terrytenley9327]

Your video remind me of my youth back home.. So much to do and with many chores..But your fencing is unreal..Plus your gate locks..Everything we had were made from skinned poles from Forest Service thinning areas..We made hoop gates and all corrals were made of skinned poles.. I think over just a few years I skinned over 3-4000 poles with a drawknife... Later on in west central Nevada cattle are everywhere and many many hoop locking gates.. As a laborer for the Forest Service I help build 8-10 miles of fence with tposts.. Some areas were so rocky we put on a crib..4’x4’ by 4’ high.. made from wood and filed with rocks.. then stretch fence over 3-350 feet apart.. Much sweat but it paid the bills. Ha that was over 45-50 years ago..I miss it all. But I am old now. Ha.. retired and no cattle or fences to mend.. To me this iron fence is so kool.. I hope you do more.. I love them. Ha..

You might look into finding an old bathtub and converting it into a water tank. My dad had several on our farm. The hole for the spigot were used for the float. The drain on the tub worked great for clean as does the surface of the tub. If the tub was installed permanent place he built a wood frame sound it so it could not be moved by the cattle. If it was not permanent we just watched it.

[@miguelavelasquez8056]

Nice job on the gate latch the concrete tank would be the way to go Tyler but expensive and time consuming but if you decide to build it im sure it's going to be done right can't wait to see it thank you for sharing blessings to you and your family

[@eddeetz493]

If you stuff old feed bags into the top of the pipe, leave a 4" gap and fill with concrete and dome each cap. Farmer tip.

[@eddeetz493]

You can also run pex tubing from a wood boiler to keep it warm all winter. Form it to narrow on the bottom and slope to the drain.

Some wasp are voracious insect killers. They bring their prey back to the nest to feed the larvae or the queen in some varieties. Other wasps lay eggs in the victim and the wasp larvae feed on the unsuspecting host. There is at least one company that sells one species of wasp that targets flies around cattle. I have found this helpful in the past.

[@sandsock]

for your water tank, we use 55 gallon plastic barrels cut at a comfortable height, then put the over the top automatic water tank float valves. thenn run a hose to it. we do that on the seasonal pastures. i have yet had 1 of my cows flip the barrel, they just dont rough it up. if you dont want to run constant water hose to a tank. you could get a IBC tank and crate and fill that up, then let gravity water pressure, fill your stock tanks.

[@johncooper924]

Any way you could put a liner or a rubberized coating on the metal water troughs to make them last longer? First things that came to mind were like a roll on bedliner or even like a pool lining material. Yea the concrete idea would last much longer but it's going to be permanently in place and you never know... might need to move it. Great video Tyler. I also appreciate your use of c clamps and the way you don't just whip something up and treat each project no matter how important like it needs to be done as perfect as possible.

[@johannesboreen]

You are so right. I've often told my two sons to always to a first class job, even when it didn't matter. I've said that if you don't do a good job when it doesn't matter, you won't have the skills to do a good job when it does matter. ......also, I've told them to use their left hand sometimes to develop the dexterity that might be needed on some future project.

[@robertkelley1990]

Great job as always.

[@Rdrake1413]

My favorite saying is, "If you're gonna do a job, do it right."

[@athenarocar]

If you make a concrete water trough, use as big of a valve and pipe as possible. I worked at a historical site and the fountains never drained well with 2" pipes and valves... even with a 20 foot drop in elevation the one fountain would take 3hrs to drain about 1 hr to refill 😂. Go big. I convinced the historical society to replace the pipe and valve when it froze one winter with a 4" pipe and valve... best recommendation ever! 20 minutes to drain it. (The plumbing was considered non-historical because it would be expected to be replaced should it fail.) Time is money. Your time is precious and you only have so much time to wait for water to drain. Spend the money now and save time and money later.

[@markschumacher7408]

I was expecting you to put a level on your gate latch just to see how well you did. Great video.
