Hi Cole and Dad Brian and Jeff it was good to see Jeff . I think you do a awesome job welding. I just love watching what all you all do.God bless you all.

[@tandyderreberry]

Just remember stick welding is an art and everybody draws different. You are doing a great job proud of you and your work on your channel. Love watching you guys. Love yaaaaaaaa mean it.

Is that “love ya, mean it” a John Boy and Billy reference or did they borrow it from someone?

I had a professional welder tell me one time there are welder and there are people that own welders and there is a difference. Welding is an art you learn with time. I wouldn't listen to critics

[@paulprigge1209]

Here’s a point people forget this dude is using what he welds. If it breaks he will re-weld it. It works! That’s the most important part.

[@SonneFarms]

[@sleepythinker5674]

As Red Green used to say. “If the women can’t find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.” That’s a fine looking gate set up. You need to invent a drone mower…..no more stucks.😂

[@stephaniejohnson3341]

"The right way!" I'm 74, retired from the Army and from defense contracting. Each and every boss told me that "the right way" was a starting point and was usually not enough to get the job done. I got hired to get the job, whatever it was, DONE. Go for it; just keep doing it your own way.

[@SteveGibbons-td9tk]

Cole I'm 76 and the only way to do it the wrong way is if it doesn't work for you so as long as it works for you your doing it right and for the one's who tell you that you're doing it wrong I don't see them showing up to do the work for you or posting a video showing how they can do it the correct way because someone will complain that they are doing it the wrong way so do it your way and the he@@ with them

[@tommychew6544]

I learned how to Mig weld in the mid-eighties during Autobody for two years, then how to Tig weld in the 90's after I got out of the Corps. Never learned how to stick weld though, seems like a muscle memory thing on distance as the rod wears away and having the right amp setting. Tig welding was almost like an art and wouldn't fit in on most farm settings unless you were welding SS or aluminum. The master welder that taught me, in a few small times for what I was doing to free up mechanics for what little I needed done, was so knowledgeable it was crazy! I told him to only teach me what I needed to know for what I was doing. If you are doing welds with no areas for water to get in for a freeze blowout from water, I'd say more power to you. Your welding saves a lot of money that can be spent elsewhere! That high weed skid steer mowing is strangely satisfying. lol

I learned to weld, well started anyway, in metal shop in 7th grade in 78. They started with the basics, soldering, brazing and stick. In high school metal shop you moved to advanced stick and mig and tig. One of my classmates was welding under a tractor he brought in from the fair grounds to fix the transmission housing. He didnt have room for a full face shield so he had goggles with a number 12 lens on. He had a bad habit of welding with his mouth open and his tongue in his teeth. One day he was under there and we heard him shout, came flying out on his creeper and ran for the drinking fountain. He had a drop of spatter land on his tongue and burn about a quarter inch into it. Needless to say it took a trip to the ER to fix it. He came back the next day and was critiqued by our instructor on what he did wrong.

[@dreiback182]

I have taught myself how to weld flux core (I am not really good) and after that used stick welding and after a few rods you start to get the hang of it. Its not all that difficult to move your hand as the rod wears. Im still not a good welder with anything, probably due to lack of experience and having not a real teacher.

Am married to a non maintenance farmer, after 20 years gave up and try do as much as possible myself, welding is one skill I wish I had, have learnt to build concrete block walls, pour concrete, chainsaw, the learning is still happening. Love the mower wish I had one like that.

[@cathiwim]

You are never too old- i have learned to lay landscaping block walls, lay tile(both walls and floors) and fencing installation and maintenance. One skill i want to learn is welding. (I am a woodworker by hobby). We have a welder now. Time to learn to use it.

You do A great job on building and welding these gates Cole. Very nice work. You and dad do a great job of installing the gates and setting up the bunk areas the way you all want. Looks nice when you are done. Nice work. Sorry the skid steer got stuck in the muddy ground. Looks nice with those weeds knocked down. Good job Cole. Good to see Sonny running around. Sure is growing. Not a puppy anymore. See you and dad were moving round bales around some. Nice bale trailer you have now pulling with the pickup. About it I guess. You both take care.
