Hey friend, just wanted to say, in regards to being entertaining, for me, the entertainment is just seeing what is being done and how. I quite enjoyed this video of fence posting driving, hats of warmth, and fencing.

I can't help but be reminded of my time on the farm when I was young. I did a lot of fencing work over the years and I came to think that you can tell a lot about farmers just by looking at their fences. Fencing takes proper planning and good sense. It is physically demanding, time-consuming, and there are no good shortcuts. it also can be dangerous, such as when you are stretching long strands of barbed wire, but it is very, very satisfying to stand back and see that fence when a good job is done -- as you both well know. Further, a good fence properly built is easier to maintain for the long term. Doing it right is a good investment. It is obvious that you understand this, as well. ... That post driver is still working great, too. Nicely done! 👍👍

It's always nice to see fencing in other parts of the world. I fenced for about 4 months (maybe longer) on a cattle station in far northern Qld, Aust. I loved your manual post driver. We had one similar, but with a massive chunk of steel on top to help drive steel pickets (the tar on those things melts from the bundles onto both hands and shoulders in the heat). Our strainer posts were 8', 5" square concrete, and hell were there heavy. Muscled me up over that time. I don't think there was any places we could have used a mechanical post driver. Too much rock. Some of the strainer post holes, that we had an auger for (with special tungsten carbide teeth welded on), had trouble breaking the clay pans we passed over. One hole, after spending over two hours on, with someone sitting on a 12' pole to add weight, got to so far and stopped. We filled it with water before being worn out for the day, only to come back a daybreak to find it still full of water... Another slow crow-bar and shovel job. Anyway... very nice job.

I’ve never seen wooden post driven in before. In Canada 🇨🇦 we use a auger to dig a hole which means a consistent depth and allows you to deal with rocks. It also allows you to double plumb the post as you backfill and pack it. The only thing we drive are the small steel posts.

You'll probably have everyone tell you this tip, but you really should check out Fencing Pliers. They are a low cost multi-tool that make handling fence wire ever so much easier. They will easily cut wire, grip wire and hammer staples with just the one tool. Imagine being able to simply cut out the upright sections of wire at the post end. Leaving you longer horizontal "tails" that you can easily pull tightly right around the post and pin in place with your staples. I got a budget pair for just £9.99 but a quality pair wouldn't cost much more. There's even videos on youtube demonstrating how you can use them. Seriously, you'll wish you had a pair when you started :-)
