#2 good info, love these usable info videos

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Ron...lots of good info in this one...including a funny little fail!

[@christlover]

A lot of people don’t understand how hard it is to be a farm and how strong minded farmers are , don’t know what goes on back door , and thank for your channel and god bless your family .

Never seen a cleaner piece of land great content

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Kevin...we've come a long way brotha

[@steverandall5814]

Farmers...the true stewards of the land, despite what the Sierra Club says.

[@davidvelen9835]

That's a great looking fence, I like the "faceboard" gives it a nice finished look and that fact you cut a little longer for water to drip is even better. Thanks for putting this out there.

[@stanwooddave9758]

Thanks for explaining the purpose of the boards, covering the seams. Last time I was in your part of the country ( approx 10 yr's ago) was wondering why they built the fences that way, now thanks to the Stoney Ridge Farmer (Josh) now I know. Have to admit, it may cost more to build the fence that way, but it was the look (no seams) that caught my eye in the first place. Whooo.

[@TitanTruckoftheYear]

That is thoroughbred horse fencing. It was created and still used to protect valuable thoroughbred horses.

[@dougberry6886]

The Bob Ross of painting fence post. I was waiting on you to say "Happy Little Fence Post Lives Over Here". Lol

[@lisahopkins4225]

I really enjoy your transparency and keeping it real on your channel. I learn a lot from you. Trying to run my Homestead solo you have helped me a lot. Appreciate your channel.

[@mvcapitolllc.7894]

I am looking forward to building my fence now! i'm glad i dont need concrete your way keeps the cost low. Thank you SRF!

[@thomasosullivan5323]

Great videos there very Educational. Your doing fantastic job on building your farm. Thank for your Service. Keep up the good things you do.

[@toolnerd]

Thanks for another good video, Have a great day!

[@bibleandbibs6407]

Very helpful information. I have fence to build this year and all your fence videos have given me more ideas to consider. Thank you.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

More coming soon!

[@CashisKingtrucking]

You make really entertaining videos

[@ThaMainGun]

man you have a come a long way weight wise from all that hard work! enjoy all your videos!

[@bullrun1]

Josh - I think it looks absolutely perfect even without the face board to cover the couple seams (hardly noticeable) on each post....great looking fence 👍🏼👍🏼 very nice work

[@bertgrau9246]

Learning more about building a wooden fence than I ever thought I could. Great video SIR

[@scottt8424]

Hey Josh thanks again for another good video and I hope that you and mrs. Stoney Ridge get to go on vacation enjoy yourselves because the both of you deserve it and I remember you mention that's on a live stream so I hope the both of you can get to do that very soon you deserve it the both of you

[@williamoloughlin8298]

ah the finished job. like it. tip; mold can grow on linseed oil so an anti mold additive from yr paint store added into the mix is a good idea. something like VC175.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

we finished it off about 6 months after this with a product called Wood Defender...works great. Linseed oil is much more expensive, molds, smells bad and simply doesn't cut it compared to Wood defender!

[@waltershulas623]

Nice job josh God bless and stay safe

[@kevinbrewer2141]

I live in western Pennsylvania we call a chainsaw a trim saw . Maybe we said that everytime we saw the amish use it to trim a board.

[@ralphstrucking]

Great looking fence.

[@talfacprez]

Growing up in Colorado at 8500 feet in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, in that dry climate we would have to Linseed oil our porches and untreated areas every year. When it would rain our exposed areas would bead up like wax on a car, but it lasted.

[@slamsshenanigans2296]

Posts rot off at the bottom because water enters through the top and people usually don't put gravel in the bottom of the post holes so the water has no where to go and builds up in the post and the ground level is first place it has a chance to mix with air and leach out, hence where it rots. Nice looking fence!

[@dannytheplumber7394]

You are good man. Bless you.

[@billmiller5075]

Great info Josh

[@RoadhogRNA]

Josh that is some fine fencing, Nice Work Sir!!!!!

[@sudd2685]

Thank you for your videos really a big help.

[@KeepingItDutch]

Lol that tripod 🤣 fence looks awesome

[@bobjoncas2814]

...GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE...

[@dwilsonfarms6541]

Great job, We have 14 miles of 4 board Kentucky fence we have stopped using face boards, we have found them to make the board ends to rot out faster.

[@bugwar5545]

I are confused. Isn't the wood pressure sealed ground contact rated?

[@biggrantlewis]

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 Awesome channel

[@brianforrest3377]

Nice looking fence pal great job

[@Will7981]

I'm sold on the Stihl battery saw. I can see why it's always on the Kubota.

[@robertkoons1154]

Boiled linseed oil is used as a finish on many gunstocks, keeps the moisture out and lets the wood grain shine through.

[@eddielane9569]

I don't know if you did it or not but cutting the tops of your post at a slight angle will prevent water from sitting on top of the post and soaking in. That along with the linseed oil will help prolong the year's you keep your post in good condition. I like putting rock in the hole before putting my post in. That helps keep the water from soaking into the bottom of the post.

[@scottsorter7]

sure does look good

[@billwilliams9527]

Man, you make everything look fun, Mr. Perfect. :>)

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bhahhaha...I can see every imperfection

[@stephaniewilson3955]

Times tables are not 'math' they are just rote learning. They are useful to know. If someone tells me '6 x 8' I automatically respond '48' without having to think about it.

[@neilwines3024]

Great job. Looks awesome I can see me building one in upstate SC soon.

[@johnwootton9031]

Bud I got to say your looking like a farmer more every day go back to when you got the ford truck and now 👍👊 YOU BE WORKING BROTHER!!!!

Damn boss. That Stihl is the bomb

Hi Josh!!!!

[@bcgrittner]

Maybe you could use that tripod for shooting videos around corners.

bhahhaha a play on Cole the Cornstar

[@mattyboysully]

Great job fence look great just bought that chainsaw work great

[@biointheknow]

I hope you will paint it white. FYI the iconic Kentucky Horse Park recently announced it would change its fence color from black to white as they discovered the maintenance of the black fence was 50% higher than its white counterpart

[@TitanTruckoftheYear]

No. The horse park when built in 1978, was constructed using white fencing. They transitioned from white paint to black. About the only place around cental Kentucky that continues to paint their fences white is Calumet.

[@tirkentube]

Don't know how i found ya, but shout out from Bristol. TN!! Keep it up!

[@christianmarktambong4162]

Sir you should rap with plastic the buttom of your post to stay more longer.its very nice farm nice to work.

[@theycallmebacon5692]

Never thought about using that to seal the end grain of pressure treated boards.

[@stanleyjohnston5876]

I believe that you should mark top board and also side/front of each board to confirm that you are staying straight.

[@AM-re3ik]

I love this fence! I would love to do it on our property but it has a lot of sloping.

[@dwilsonfarms6541]

Sloping is not a problem, our whole farm is on hills you can see the fence in my videos, just takes more time to lay out.

[@donaldlong9649]

great video!!

[@alistairfurnell126]

looked at the 140c even tho i had the batteries for it from other stihl power tools i went up to the msa 200c looks the same but use's the ap300 batteries .new zealand grate video as all ways well done lad

[@sofakinggood5829]

Nice

Common josh 6 x 4 is 24. Haha looking great, keep up the great work!!!

[@melaniekeen3611]

Getting a little hot in Stoneville

[@glenparks5175]

1/3 used moter oil and about 2/3 diesel fuel in a home and garden sprayer makes a beautiful fence, soaks in great

[@thearchemists3940]

Glen Parks how long does this last before needing a re-application?

[@garyblake9445]

What would you estimate per running foot of fence

[@simpnward598]

I am concerned about using a clipped head Paslode nail on wet timber. When the timber dries it will want to cup. The nail heads won't have enough surface area to resist this cupping force. Plus pine, being a soft wood will simply tear it's fibres over the head of the nail. That's been my experience anyway. Take care.

[@ifyoutip]

I agree with your thought on them nails in soft pine . But this is Yellow Pine. So it's pretty hard. Wondering if you specifically meant yellow pine also? My experience with yellow pine is it's so hard I usually uses screws. I never used them nails in Yellow Pine but wondering if it would be fine.

[@richardholbeck2710]

You alternate 8 ft and 16 ft boards? Wouldn't that be like building a brick wall with 1/2 and full bricks? (I understand that you need 8 ft boards to be able to end the fence portion and have a gate.) The wife and I enjoy watching your videos and learning from them. She likes seeing where the food products got their start before they came to the grocery store. We both have farmers in our linage. I'm a tool fanatic and enjoy that aspect. I think the Ventrac is unique in several ways, love it. Your spud wrench is more than that. It's like a Crescent wrench and is an ADJUSTABLE spud wrench. High rise construction workers use the non-adjustable type to bolt the steel girders together. U.S.A.F.? YES! 4 years from late '60s to very early '70s. Aircraft Structural Repair: 53470.

[@thomasyerbey337]

Nice 🇺🇸 Woooooo!!!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 🚜🚜🚜🚜

[@BattlePhrog165]

Awesome video! Looked like clipped head nails. maybe it was an optical illusion?

[@andrewbennett9356]

Hey Josh love the fencing series. I noticed you set the boards on the outside of the posts. It reminded me of my first fence on the Mole River. I asked the guy at the fencing hardware store what I would need, he looked at me and said, "You wanna keep 'em in or you wanna keep 'em out?" I actually hadn't thought that far ahead. Now I always think about that. Your fence will keep em out, are you planning to run stock in that paddock? Cool series!

[@cobraboxer3648]

mix old motor oil with diesel, put all that in a spray gun. thats how you knock down a job quickly

[@stanleyjohnston5876]

You need to build your tri-pods out of black pipe.

[@johnpeters8929]

I thought for sure you where going to cut though all of them on the saw horse 😳 hahahaha

[@ericp726]

If you cut your poles at an angle so water doesn’t pool on top they last longer too.

[@kendeshong3013]

I love the details you share about building the fence but I do have a question relating to 4 board fence. Do you have any plans on ever installing 4 board with welded wire/field fence backing? I've always wondered how to pull the wire before the boards go on without using corner bracing. I'd like to see how it's done without causing the corners to get out of alignment

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

We'll run a line of electric at about 22 inches and one at the top...that should keep the livestock in and off the fence

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

Come back with some liquid road asphalt/ thin tar on a hot day paint the tops and your good for years.

[@psychodocter]

Nice fence Josh, however the galvanized nails and pressure treated wood don’t play well together and the nails will fail.

[@gjs9871]

If you ever paint it, don’t use latex paint because it traps the moisture in the wood and the wood will rot faster.

[@ALO151VLOG]

I love the machine that you used to push steel nail. That machine run by gas , right ?

[@robinmcgraw9893]

I wrote before check Outdoors with the Morgans on KZbin. They have a wood-mizer.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Mike and I talk on the phone frequently my brotha..expect to see me up there with him soon!

[@ArkansasPilgrim]

Too late now, but ring-shank nails are good for this application because they don't back out as easily with all that swelling and shrinking. OOPS! You just started talking about ring-shanks when I clicked the Comment button.

[@DerekKingMusic]

As nice as the Nail gun is I’ll stick with my old school framing hammer. I might have to get me one of those Sthil battery powered chainsaws though. Great vid Josh! Whooooo!

[@BRadWilson3]

And a nail gun wont pull a gap together very good. Nothing beats a hammer

[@heavenboundhomestead126]

The face Board also keeps horses from bumping up against it and causing the long boards from coming loose. We Kentuckian's use that type of fence mainly for horses. You did a beautiful job, looks like the fences in Lexington Kentucky. Blessings to you

[@joshyddog2054]

Yep! Just help built a fence last year just like this for horse ranch. Washington!

[@ruthnorman1922]

What did ya use to install fence post? Have any videos of The process?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

yep....part one of the series. Used a Protech post driver

[@jtc1947]

There is one thing that worries me. Cutting through boards and lack of support? Can maybe get one more saw horse to support the boards???

[@jerrykramer7025]

Battery powered nailers i feel are better no need for gas just battery. Milwaukee and Dewalt make great nailers

[@jimsgalaxxy9342]

Serious question. The posts seem to have cracks running down them. I would think water will go into cracks and freeze causing more cracks as well as rotting inside where the treatment could not reach.

[@krisztianvirag4807]

You need to heate oil,then no need alcohol,nitro ...

[@glenparks5175]

I spray mine about every 5 years, got one fence that been installed for 36 years, my dad was old school and he wouldn't spend a dime on anything, he make do with what he had

[@iwillnotcomply007]

For someone painting their fence black, I wonder how well tar would work to seal the cut ends.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

you don't wanna seal off anything on a wood fence...that's why they rot. You wanna use a solid body stain if possible so the wood can continue to "breath"...aka release moisture

[@iwillnotcomply007]

@@StoneyRidgeFarmer, isnt that what you're doing on the top of the posts where you cut them and then applied the linseed oil?

[@sethsmith3955]

What was you cost per foot including posts doing it yourself?

[@deaconlyric]

It sucks losing equipment but be happy it wasn't one of the pro tripods we use at work. You'd be out several thousand dollars.

[@apcreech]

Great video and beutiful fence. Question for you, why did you choose round fence posts instead of square? Some people around Clayton, NC have started building fencing like this except they use 4x6 posts and paint it all black, it's pretty but I would assume very expensive considering the costs of 4x6 posts.

[@markwest3485]

Shouldn’t you cut those post tops at an angle to encourage water runoff?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

have you ever seen a 6 inch wooden post rot from the top?? In reality you shouldn't ever "top" a treated post. We all drive down country roads and see angle cut posts...post with tin nailed to the top and all sorts of gadgets...the true reality is that moisture and microbes are typically more prevalent at the ground level and about 4 inches down in the soil...that's where they rot. You'd be hard pressed to find a post anywhere but the high desert that's rotted from the top...topping the post exposes the untreated wood to the elements..thus shortening the life of your post unless treated after it's topped.

[@tgzmrhat]

Can you please do a video on building a birdhouse I have a ton of birds here and would like to make some

[@steveharris947]

When a post driver is not an option, what is another option for setting posts?

[@Onehellofaguy]

Ive been a painter for 19 yrs and I think you will regret painting that fence. I would put a solid color stain and polyurethane on. If you put paint on it,I would use a epoxy.

[@coziii.1829]

Do you think roofing tar on it all will last or truck bed liner spray.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Bro....have ya ever seen a fence coated in roofing tar? You need to use a stain because the wood must breath and be preserved my friend....locking out moisture means locking in moisture too...this will cause rot

[@mattjohnson1715]
