Never Knew I could Make This From That!

[@littlewhitedory1]

Goooood Mawnin' Al! To make the ladle you might want to start with a cherry wood section from where a branch joined the trunk. So, a branch with a chunk of the main trunk to use to carve/hollow out as the cup. As a shop teacher I had kids every now and then that could see a project in the wood and could work the wood to make what they saw in it. It is amazing how one person can see things that others don't. Keep warm and good luck with your designs for homemade projects.

Long time watcher here but first time commenting. My family and I love your content and your channel is one of the channels that helped inspire us to start our own small homestead (growing some of our own food)! Thank you for all the great content, keep it up! You're one of my 11 year old son's favorite channels to watch!

[@kleineroteHex]

Not liking winter so much anymore but the crunch of the snow will always transport me back to my childhood!!!!! Nice spoons!

[@dbaileyanorchardistsdaught5041]

The wooden spoons turned out amazing. I love the cherry 🍒 for kitchen bowls, spoons and cutting boards. You have a natural talent of making wood turn into beautiful art and useful things too! I’m counting down the days until you all announce goat kids on the way. Excited to be a part (watching) of Lumnah acres first official “hooves on the ground”- homestead is a growing! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🐐🐐🎉🎉🎉

[@evephillips6701]

Olivia is off to school in her cute 'gifted' hat...Al you definately have a talent for making things and turning wood into usable implements...Nice little project!👍😊

[@SewFrancine6120]

#HATSFOROLIVIA. Gotta keep her warm. Enjoy. Francine.

[@juliehiestand8253]

I still can't believe all the stuff that you can make. When you start making things like the spatula, all of us cooks are just sitting here watching your beautiful work, wishing we all had a beautiful spatula in an hour utensil Croc. Great work Al. And I absolutely love how you include and teach Olivia new things everyday.

[@cmc7106]

Tool time with Al on a Friday a morning !! Nice project!! Have a great weekend!!

[@audreyabdo7719]

Al your father taught you well, you know how to make just about anything. Blessings to you and your family. Enjoy your weekend.

[@susieq7552]

WOW!!!!!!!!Al great job on making those spatulas. Olivia is very lucky to have a dad who is able to spend so much time with her.

[@marybelfordsmith8421]

This is another GREAT video. Truly enjoy you making things, playing with Livvie, making food .. AND I really like your hair today! Thanks, Al!

[@stevenjmuller]

Awesome project! Thanks for the encouraging words. I always say, when you’re down in the dumps, do one small positive thing, make something, do something for someone else!

[@fionajane56]

My grandmother was an avid wood carver. For deeper ladles she looked for small burls or branches off ‘y’ clefts in trees, that gave her the depth of wood for the bowl of the ladles. To work them finer she used wood files and rasps. Yours look absolutely wonderful.

[@ediii9690]

Gooooood morning Al! Dreamers by themselves don’t go anywhere. You have to have a plan to put your dream into action (be a dreamer AND a doer). Love the way you dream up something (like a water container that will keep water unfrozen longer) and put that idea (dream) into action by turning it into reality. Keep up the good work!

[@gigiregister6906]

I love work working. They are really pretty. Subs would buy those from you. Now that’s a bad weather project to make revue. Olivia makes my heart happy. If she ever need a great-grandmother just let me know!! Love you Guys

[@athloneduke]

I think its is great to teach your daughter such life skills, people should teach all their children such skills. I'm proud that all my 3 children (now adults) can cook and do basic electrical repairs. These skills are no burden to have and will only enhance a life, hats off to ye

[@linda45506]

Love the wooden spatulas! Looks like a great idea for making extra income especially if you enjoy doing it. We carve Santa's and that pays for food and gas. Olivia put a big smile on my face sledding down the hill. Thanks for sharing ☺☺☺☺☺

[@BigHairyYeti87]

Another great video, love the fact your daughter helps around the farm, reminds me of the relationship I share with my daughter. Always willing to give it her all to help.

[@louisag5707]

That was so thoughtful of you to make a smaller handled spatula for Olivia. Her new hat is adorable too.

[@TrinityRidge1959]

Got my smiles this morning.. it's also cold when it's not snowing and you see diamond dust living way up north on 45th parallel I am able too. We drip our water anything below double digits do you guys have pipe freezing issues? Your an excellent carpenter crafter.. old time crafting meets modern homesteaders. Niiice.. thank you for another fun filled learning laughing and living experience.

[@dianetucker2711]

[@50shadesofgreen]

good day to you Al, Gina & Olivia !! thanks for sharing another awesome update and adventures on & off the homestead !! 👨‍🌾🎥👍✝

[@sparklesandgold9286]

Great wooden spatulas, Al! It's so great that you always find inspiration to create something special for yourself and your family. It's wonderful to able to "see" someone with talent create! You will, in turn, inspire others to make and create things for themselves!

[@stephm281]

Wow you did a beautiful job on your utensils.👍🏻👍🏻Best to all !

[@rablackford1]

Morning Al, looks like a fun project. If you're interested in wooden spoons and spatulas I also watch a channel the Swedish Homestead. On their playlist should be a video where they made their traditional Swedish butter knives. They look like a lot of fun and they were very beautiful. Have a great day

[@Tinkergrumpybuns]

Yes, Simeon and his dad are great! I loved watching them make the butter knives.

[@larryweller7948]

Thank you for the nice video. Thank you for your nice comments at the end.

[@misskittykat594]

HOMEMADE WOODEN SPOONS Al your wooden spoons are really awesome. They would sure work better than what I have bought to use. I love the way you shaped it. Al you can do anything you want to do and this sure proves it to me. Keep up the good ideas you come up with. Your cooking is awesome, and when all three of you are cooking together I really like to see that in a family. That tells me there is a lot of LOVE in your house the way all of your work together cooking. MissKittyKat in California

[@dreamchaisr1]

I have to say "Mistah" that I started watching you guys last year... caught one of your videos on a suggested feed that was talking about a "heat wave" in the middle of the coldest part of winter last year. I absolutely had to click... and found out it was "only" minus 4. I was in from that time and I just wanted to say you've become a really good videographer over the last year. I of course watched some of your earlier videos (like ya do..) and fell in love with the family. Just wanted to give you a "good job mistah" from Texas. Y'all are one of my top 2 homesteaders I follow. Love you guys!!

[@liosol4570]

Aww thanks Al you made me a spatula😀 I collect wood spoons, and put them to the test for sure. Nicely done👍have a great weekend.

[@decolonizeEverywhere]

Kramer! You're too funny. Great video today. Yeah, it's nice to think of longer days when we are going into the coldest days. That bright winter sun is what makes those cold days bearable for me. I have to make sure I get out in the sunshine every day, even if it's just for 5 or 10 minutes or I fall into a SAD funk. So good to see you are making the most of being a fulltime homesteaders and enjoying doing it. Nice work on those spatulas. That could be another income for the homestead. Got to be a jack of all trades to keep a farm afloat and pay for Olivia's college!

[@tamarabutterworth8300]

I would buy one! I love them. I got so excited when you said what you were doing and then watching you do it was really cool. Thanks for being such a good teacher, being encouraging and a great role model for us.

Morning, the kitchen tools are grand. Wood is also my favorite to use. New way to earn money make and sell them. Hand make sells for more. I have passion, but not the tools to make one, I will use that passion to raise and care for the chickens. Placing my order now, just Encase for a set of three. :) thanks again for your hard work to made our days brighter with your positive videos.

[@stephenriley9084]

Al, I like the plank to spatula approach! You can't beat a can do attitude. The kitchen in our last house had cherry wood doors. It was a warm comforting place. The kitchen in this house has pale wood doors with pink and grey lines in the grain. No idea what it is, but it lightens a dull room. Baking is a sure fire cure for a cold day, although, I'm a pie man myself!😀. Regards Stephen.

Another great video. Don't you just love working with wood? So relaxing. I have never heard of using mineral oil so I did a quick research most people are using mineral oil mix with beeswax. We've always use vegetable oil and it works just fine for us. They did say as long as it is food grade safe it's okay.
