I quit woodworking

[@gregorylondos534]

What a Wonderful and Prized Shop you have... Sad you wil be not using it as you intended to... But Life goes on and your Family needs you to carry on the Family Busines... Yiu are one Blessed Man... Looking forward to your other videos as you can make and publish. Greg

[@matthiaswandel]

One of my favourite channels is "rainfall projects", and I find his videos about farming at least as interesting as those about building projects

[@TimothyWilmots]

Thanks Matthias, I'll check it out for sure.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Matthias Wandel rainfall projects also has very good production quality and his sense of humor is enjoyable to watch as well.

[@nilp0inter2]

So do I

[@oakleyjack7600]

Life is about making the right choices, It seems you are a natural at woodworking and farming but that shot of your son riding in the tractor with you shows that you are putting Family & Farm before the self/gratification of woodworking. 👍👍👍

[@KMvrtr]

@Matthias: My thoughts exactly. Can't wait to see Timothy's barn conversion! :-)

[@vincentrolfe1384]

I bought a big Honda brand tiller and when we moved into a house I became attached to the soil just by tilling the land. My aunts and uncles were farmers in those days and all they talked about at the get-togethers were crops and weather. When we leave this earth, all that is left is our children and that time and love spent with them is part of the gold in life. You made the right choice to direct life to be with the family. These years when children are young can only be taken one time. Good luck.

[@TimothyWilmots]

It's almost the same here, as my mother and father both came from farming families. Growing up on a farm is great so I wanted my kids to have a chance at the same thing, though farming changes dramatically over the generations. When I was a kid it involved lots of hand work and help from friends. Those days are gone.

[@dieterkellermann6840]

Good luck to your both farming and woodworking !!!

[@sumandl]

I wish you all the best in the future on your farm. Your shop is amazing and i think you inspired many of us with your work. Looking forward for your new content! Cheers

[@randelehmkuhl8726]

James Krenov inspired me to aspire to a higher quality in my work and you have done so as well. I wish you well in your farming and know that you will return to making sawdust when you have the opportunity.

[@nicolle2126]

If this woodworking channel turns into a farming channel i'd still be game tbh

[@j-bdekker4871]

Me too, farming and woodworking are my main two interests

[@AddictedtoProjects]

Me too! 😎😎

[@sksee882002]

Me too😁

[@GeeksWoodShop]

Where ever the journey takes you, thanks for taking us all along for the ride. Your work and designs have been an inspiration, and very sincerely wish you the best as you balance life's needs.

[@granander]

If you keep making content from time to time, we will be here watching... your videos have always been outstanding! You Sir, are an inspiration!

[@robinmacadam8446]

Wish you all the best . Thank you for sharing all your ideas.

[@LeeroyReading]

Your designs have been very innovative and influential in the woodworking community. You will be missed my friend. Good luck in your future endeavors I’m sure you’ll excel at whatever you turn your hand to.

[@toddbailey5198]

I grew up on a farm as well and became a carpenter. Even as a retired carpenter now, I still wish I had gone back to the family farm. I would happily watch videos from out and about on the farm! All the best!

[@SmokyFrosty]

God bless all your endeavours Tim! You still make great no nonsense content and I'll watch anything you put up! Hope the farm 'grows' amd you keep up the great tradition! Just dont let that incredible workshop gather dust!

[@qmoonwalker3847]

Not sure where you are at, but beautiful countryside! Best of luck and keep making the videos!

[@qmoonwalker3847]

[@thomaslieu224]

Dan Gelbart of woodworking. Just found this website - very inspiring.

[@ericklodnicki]

Timothy, I find myself re-watching many of your videos as I continually update my own woodshop. Hoping the family farming is going well, but also that you're finding time for your woodworking. Your content is missed, surely. All the best.

[@newstedat]

Hello Timothy, unfortunately I discovered your channel only 2 days ago when I was looking for inspiration for my workshop equipment. You are a very gifted craftsman and it is a pity that you leave it now. On the other hand it would be a shame to give up your farm. Do as much as possible to make you happy. I will now watch the rest of the videos I do not know yet. Thank you for your work and greetings from Tirol / Austria

[@gregpennenga2462]

You have my favorite wooodworking channel on KZbin! I aspire to your level thoroughness and attention to detail. I 'll watch your farming videos but I sure will miss seeing your awesome shop.

[@MadebyJester]

Sorry to see you go. You were one of my inspirations to "think different" about woodworking, and one of the reasons I started posting to KZbin myself. I wish you the best, and thanks for everything, sincerely.

[@WelshRabbit]

I agree completely with Matthias. You chaps are two of my very favorite KZbinrs. I love your woodworking videos, but your farm work is fascinating to watch, too. Anything you post will provide joy to your fans.

[@2twoanddone2]

Thanks for the video update. Best of luck on the new endeavor. With your attention to detail and skill at planning, I'm sure your farming business will thrive.

[@fxopaws]

Wish you all luck - espacially the woodshop-series was inspiring. Take care and "entertain" us with more farm-related stuff.

[@jeffreyspitler7860]

Much thanks for all of your content. It is an honorable thing to leave your passion for woodworking full time and continue on in the tradition of family farming. I will enjoy the farming content along side the woodworking.

[@andreinarangel6227]

Winters are long, dark, and wet in Belgium. You can do woodworking in that time. Good to see that the Krauts did not destroy that cupola like they did the rest of Eben Emael.

[@billedis5482]

So pleased to see your farm is certified organic. Thanks again for all your wonderful content. Bill

[@mrmajestic345]

Since you don't do woodworking anymore, can i have all your tools? Joking aside, being a carpenter/woodworker all my life, who came from a farm, I really miss your video's, even your farming videos, are top notch! I am currently in the process of putting my dream shop together, and a lot is inspired by what you did, right down to the felder tools, and the assembly room, from your plans. Hope you are doing well! Martin

[@MrShadowchsr2]

So glad you finally posted something was begining to wonder what was up, best of luck to you on this journey you have decided to undergo.

[@thejohnhend]

Your shop and meticulous methodology were inspiring to me also. Waking up to work in a shop like yours for a full time job is my dream. Hope you don’t lose your love of woodworking. Good luck on the farming. Dream up some great new projects while sitting in that tractor.

[@raxxo69]

I've been checking in on the channel about every-everyother month wondering what you've been up to, thanks for the update and good luck! As a consumer of mostly ecologically grown produce I applaud you! Looking forward to all sorts of updates... Best regards Oscar from Sweden :D

[@littlehousewoodworking5292]

Life as we know it would not exist if not for farmers. Farmers are the unspoken heroes of the world. I found your channel today researching materials shop-cart videos. Would love to see what goes on in the day to day of a farmer as well as woodworker projects. So please, feel free to farm up this channel as well! I'm a new subscriber and looking forward to your content. Much appreciation to you and your lively-hood.

[@TimothyWilmots]

Thanks for the nice comment.

[@chrismeza5872]

Sad that you stopped woodworking, but happy that you are continuing the family farm. I enjoyed your videos. Thank you

[@ColinCochranT11]

Feeding the world is a noble endeavor! Thank you for all the woodworking videos and good luck on the continued success of your family's farm.

[@lutkeingo6975]

Thanks a lot for your Inspiration, and the time. I wish you all the best for your future.

[@glennfoster3728]

Love all your videos, thank you so much for sharing them. I too had to give up woodworking as I moved into management and am just now getting back into it again. Your shop, organization and methodical approach has been very inspiring to me as I return to the craft. Farming is just a different medium with different tools, the dedication, skill and care is all similar. God bless, and continue the good work, which ever way it goes

[@timc6826]

I've been wondering where you have been. Happy to hear that your not giving wood work away entirely. Good luck for the future

[@jeffcalaway7837]

Love the farming video. I grew up on the farm and I am in agri-business. Now I have so many questions about farming in Belgium in regards to regulations, markets, labor etc. Hope to see a few more videos about farming mixed in with your excellent woodworking videos. Thanks!

[@TimothyWilmots]

I have many questions too though, regulations, especially in organic farming are incredibly complex. Agri business is what destroyed conventional farming, now it's about avoiding those traps in organic or go a step beyond. My goal would be to develop local markets, as I feel that sooner or later the business will ruin organic as well.

[@JEE_13]

Glad to hear you will continue with woodworking videos. Your videos thus far have inspired me a great deal and I thank you for sharing them. For what its worth, I'd watch farm videos as I find them quite interesting. All the best to you and your family in your future endeavors.

[@afzulali7695]

Thankyou for the update. Your an amazing woodworker. You have too do what you have to do, hope too see more content. Thanks so much for what you have done so far. All the best.

[@davidwatkinson1269]

Good luck with whatever you choose to do. I'll keep an eye on your future videos.

[@Jimwho77]

Great stuff and glad to see you back. Funny how things go. I did less woodworking this year because I spent a lot more time in the garden. I went as far as buying a small Kubota tractor and have enjoyed it a lot. Totally understand your position. Look forward to future content.

[@UriValdez]

The scenery is fantastic and you seem so comfortable doing what you’re doing. This is just another form of art.

[@adamb2619]

In 2011 I cycled across the US. One of the greatest parts was witnessing all the farmers, crops, and animals across the country. Extremely hardworking families with even bigger hearts. Thanks for all you do and wish you all the best.

[@k.b.woodworker3250]

How great that you will be feeding so many people! I love both woodworking and food gardening. Way different than farming, I know, but still, there's something about seeing the food grow throughout the seasons that is enchanting.

[@kimshirley7014]

I live in a small rural town (7,400 people) in the US which is primarily a farming / ranching community along with oil production. Would love to see videos on farming! Just one more thing you will be great at..

[@denysyashnyi606]

Wish you all the best! You are really smart guy and you will find the way to be creative in farming as you are in woodworking.

[@howardbecdove9780]

I just came across your video on the MFT cart and thought, this guy really knows what he’s doing. Then this one came up on my feed and I thought that I’d discovered you too late. After watching the video I realise that you just turned a negative into a double positive - win, win! I just subscribed, and I’m buying your plans, even if I don’t build the thing. Warmest regards from Australia mate.

[@oscarthefuzz]

You and Ishitani furniture are my favourite channels on KZbin, hopefully you will do farming videos as well, best of luck!

[@carlomagno12go]

I like both activities, farming and woodworking. Thanks.

[@haleccles1971]

Thanks for your videos and plans. Good luck for the future.

[@blakeyokum1547]

Thanks for all your videos! Equally great you’re going to be a farmer full time. Look forward to whatever you do in the future.

[@canttakethis]

Good luck and all the best for your future endevours. Your workflow and ingenuity have been inspiring! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@kmonnier]

That is a tremendous amount of variety for 210 acres. I grew up on 180 of field corn here in Iowa. Also, your videos are still awesome.

[@Mojave511]

Whatever you do, you well! This farming video was fascinating.

[@andrejbartolj1114]

I completely understand you becouse I am in the same way of work and also working on farm but much smaller... So keep up the good work in farm and your woodworking shop.

[@TimothyWilmots]

Thanks, these are two great activities for people who love to do tangible work.

[@jimbecker5675]

Farming is a very noble and essential pursuit and I'm sure you'll attack it with the same fervor that you've put toward your woodworking! Best wishes for continued success and I look forward to your new videos when you have the time to put them together.

[@artatworkorg]

I am happy to see you are busy on the farm, my family are farmers and I know how dangerous the work can be. I was worried you had been hurt and so no new Videos. You are, as many have said a very inspiring designer and inventor. I love using my MFTC and appreciate the time and effort you put into this. As a maker, I know it is very difficult not to make things. I go crazy if I can't get the stuff out of my head and into the world. Keep up the good work on the land we need more organic farmers.

[@guitarchitectural]

Thanks so much for your contributions to the woodworking community - I love your projects and have built a few, and even find great little clever ideas in the oldest videos. I look forward to whatever comes next - I just beg you never to take down your videos or stop selling your plans :)

[@HODYODesign]

[@edwinkrikhaar7223]

Nou breekt mijn klomp haha, jou KZbin kanaal net gevonden en me bij de vele video's al verbaasd over de grote schuren en massale ruimte die je creëerde voor de houtbewerking en nu lezende dat je fulltime agrariër bent vind ik gewoon geweldig!! Succes met je nieuwe uitdaging en nog meer succes met het houtbewerken in de vrije tijd (winterperiode) die er ook wel zal zijn! Zal je blijven volgen want zo te lezen word het heel interessant wat komen gaat in de combinatie van houtbewerking en het boerenleven!

The sorting webs are friction powered so they stop even for a jammed potato, we didn't know about this initially so it was scary, but after the first jams we realised it was quite safe should fingers get caught.

They paid an engineering company for the design, that company may have used my design as an inspiration, but it's also possible that a tool with those functions will inevitably have a similar shape.

[@chipatchison5971]

It wold b very interesting to those of us who know little about farming to hear your business plan. For instance, out of your 210 acres, how many will remain for wheat, barley and corn and how many acres will be planted with vegetables? Also, with the farm equipment investment how much will you be able to invest/loan/rent to plant the vegetables? Just eager to know and best wishes.

[@m.d.e.845]

Farmers are a needed workforce! You guys feed the world! Your work is much appreciated! Thank you! Any woodworking content you put out is a bonus!

I also grew up on a farm, and wish I could impart that same experience on my kids. You made the right decision. You’ve got a great setup going on.

[@TimothyWilmots]

That's probably one of the reasons as well, I became father last year and would very much prefer to have my kids grow up on a farm like I did.
