Thank you Dyana

When Mr. Greer talked about the importance of his grandfather's mill for him, it sparked a few tears in my eyes. Justin you are awesome!! May the Grace of our Lord pour down His blessings upon you and your family.💖

[@metcalfmills5679]

Aww thank you so much Diana ! That is so kind of you. May his blessings pour on to you and yours as well ! Thank you !

All my favorite KZbinrs in one vehicle! I respect what you do gentlemen. Thank you.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Aw that’s great ! Thank you so much !

[@lindaarmstrong4661]

Justin, your knowledge and wisdom are so valuable. I love your sense of humor and wit! Pray your channel will grow in an amazing way. I'm a 74 yr old grandmother in Alabama now, but born and raised on the other side of the Smokies in Gatlinburg.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much for the kindness. Thank you for sharing this Linda! Glad I can share.

[@LeaC816]

William cracks me up! The Rap snacks were too funny and his face was great when you said it was a William’s Mll. 🤣 I absolutely love watching you with these mills! You truly light up when working with them and they are fascinating to see no matter what shape they are in. It’s awesome you get to do something you enjoy so much for a living! Mr. Greer was right when he said that without you that mill would never be used again but because of you many more folks can enjoy the benefits of its use. I am so glad your customers let you know what a meaningful service you provide and truly appreciate your vast knowledge and skills. I had to smile at the fact you were the only one who didn’t have on gloves, I don’t wear them much either when doing stuff even when it’s gross and I probably should because they get in my way and I like feeling whatever it is I’m working on. Hands wash easy! As always, I enjoyed the scenery in this video. Y’all are surrounded by such beautiful land! Thanks for letting us go along for the ride today!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yeah he liked that it was a William’s Mill !!! I’m glad to hear that you enjoy Lea ! This was a fun trip with great friends. Yeah that was good to hear, someone appreciating you and what you do, it felt good ! I can’t stand gloves either! I need to feel and they just get in my way,…you understand ! Glad to share and the leaves are really turning here ! Watch for them in my videos!

[@Outtahide540]

Man, looks like so much goes into filming to make a final viewing product for us. Thank you all. I really enjoyed this old time type video and memories. Great stuff

[@metcalfmills5679]

Yes it sure does ! My brothers took care of all that , all I had to do was enjoy. Glad to hear it Mel ! Thank you for watching !

[@TheModernYeoman]

Justin, it was such an honor to join you and see your expertise first-hand. Thanks for having me along, and thanks for sharing your knowledge with the world!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you my friend! It was an honor to have you join us! Always enjoy watching your channel !

[@belindagray3005]

It was fun to watch the four of you together. I like the way you take the time to share your knowledge especially about things that could quickly become lost forever like the rabbit/rat trap.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Belinda ! Glad you enjoyed it !

[@stumblin_along]

Such an interesting video. As I've said before, you are a natural teacher. Love seeing you, Billy, William and Sean all together on a field trip.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad I can share. Thank you ! It was a great day with great friends !

[@marifloyd1543]

I love this so much, this is happiness!!! I miss my family so much, I love hearing old Stories as I have no one left to sit and listen to, they all left me way too early.

[@metcalfmills5679]

So glad you enjoy🙂

[@rogerbeck5704]

Very interesting, can't wait to see a video of you restoring it. And yes, you are a merry band of misfits who do great things!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Roger !

[@2ndfreeman]

I set out a few rabbit boxes with my Dad as a kid. I think that it was something that he had learned as a kid during the depression. It was fun to see someone that knows what they are. The work you do to restore a part of history by bringing these old mills back to life is something very special. Thank You!

[@metcalfmills5679]

So glad you enjoyed Larry ! Thank you !

[@journeyoflovelight]

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad to hear you enjoyed Melanie ! Thank you for watching!

[@k.p.1139]

I was looking at a mill like this and could not understand how in the world it worked. NOW, I get it..thanks, Justin.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad it helped! Thank you!

[@sonyagregory5711]

I love it when people merry misfit together! I'm really enjoying going all the way back to when you first started your channel and watching each video forward. Might take me a while to get through all of them, but that don't matter to me, because I'm loving every minute of eacg video!!!😎😎😊🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@metcalfmills5679]

We had a real time! Thanks Sonya! Thank you for watching and glad you enjoy.

Congrats on 1K subs!!!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you SL !

[@EarlybirdFarmSC]

We used to make rabbit boxes just like that too. Make them in the spring and let them set out and age in the weather. Set them in the winter. That meal paddle is good. Very cool. Can't wait to see that mill running Justin. Going to look, great buddy. Maybe some of my great, great, Grandfolks owned that mill company lol. My last name is Williams haha. Never know. I can't wait to see it on the trailer and set up. Good Job Justin and gang.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you for sharing this ! Glad you enjoyed !

[@tpaw6908]

Amazing how much there is to the simplicity of the old mills.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Sure is !

[@deniseellenburg649]

Another great one!! After seeing this mill, I believe the one Daddy had was a Williams mill too. Gosh, I wish I had a picture!!

[@metcalfmills5679]

I wish you did too

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey Justin, you got a buncha youtubers together. I loved this video with the family their stories and the mill explaining how it works. Interesting to see it being disassembled. Y'all worked together quite well. Look forward to see it when done. take care by for now

[@metcalfmills5679]

I agree ! I hope for more times like these !

[@maryintx4409]

very interesting...can hardly wait to see the 'new' mill

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you Mary !

[@Jane-b9k]

I did enjoy this video. Thanks for including us.

[@kiprussell6102]

Justin this is so awesome. I live history and people that embrace our history and heritage. I would live to just hang out with you guys. It us so important what you're doing to preserve some of this for future generations to see and experience. Keep up the good work and God bless you all

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you so much! God bless you as well

[@twooldcrowshomestead]

It is so interesting to watch these videos about the mills you restore. Looking forward to your progress.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thank you TOC !

[@tonistephens4068]

We live in the Arkansas River Valley. I am 62, and have never seen, or hear of a mill around here. There is one in the northwest corner of the state, because I have seen it on television. It is amazing how many mills still are in your area, and what good shape some are in. Very interesting. 😁

[@metcalfmills5679]

Some places didn’t have many mills, then other places had plenty. Thanks Toni

[@AD4MRick]

I enjoyed this video very much. I can't wait till you begin the restoration. It's this kind of documentary that helps us all learn the history of farming and how the people lived back then. Thank you for the video. very well done.

[@metcalfmills5679]

So glad to hear that you enjoyed !

[@puppygirl1947]

Very good video. Your gonna be a superstar if you keep making these!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Thanks Puppy Girl ! My buddy Will done the editing on this one !

[@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia]

Oh wow Justin!! Love your band of Merry Misfits 😆 I pulled the summer beds today and planted a fall garden. I know it’s late, but the beds are on the southern side of the house, so maybe I’ll get something. Had to put up a short bunny fence. We have an electric bear/deer fence around the house. Enjoyed this so much, have a great weekend.

[@metcalfmills5679]

They are the best !!! Hope they do well for you ! Thanks for letting me know hope you did as well !!!

[@ladyryan902]

Thank you

Very cool!

[@metcalfmills5679]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@mikewurlitzer5217]

Would this mill also grind Wheat Berries or just Corn. Love the series.

[@metcalfmills5679]

It will grind any free flowing grain

[@horticultureandhomes]

I thought you was in SC and now think it's NC and not that far from k'ville. Well that's gettin in my neck a the woods. Now I really wanna know what mills you are workin on. I don't do that fakebook and YTube don't let put contact info in the comments. Please look at my community tab and get in touch.

[@metcalfmills5679]

Where would that be???

[@horticultureandhomes]

@@metcalfmills5679 Now I ain't a gonna publish that here. Based on the counties you keep mentioning, your bout 2.5 to 3 hrs away. I have a homestead group and a grist mill would be handy to have for our corn and small grains. Besides, I love antiques and can't stop collecting the past when things were built to last. Even my house is an antique. My papaw worked at the grist mill over the hill (that's about a long block away in todays terms from my farm) on Saturday mornings. It was a water driven mill that's long gone. Give somebody directions and tell 'em to turn where the old mill use to be. You ever give folks directions like that? I bet ya have. Have you ever caned any chairs with hickory? That would be another good Appalachian video. Appalachian American is a way of life! I look forward to your next word of the day. My granny used all them thare terms you been tellin about. Riddle me this one Justin, we still ain't figured out why granny would dissolve camphor squares in rubbing alcohol and then pour some on her head and rub it in. She was always doctoring with mustard plasters and such.

[@metcalfmills5679]

No no, where would your community tab/contact info be?

[@michelefarling6934]

@@metcalfmills5679 In order to find the "community tab", go to whatever KZbin page you are desiring to find, or just click on the picture next to his comment for finding his KZbin page. Up near the top there will be a string of words that runs across. 1st one is the HOME tab, next (just to the right) is VIDEOS, and next is usually VLOGS (or clips [some KZbin channels are set up a little different]), next is CHANNELS, I believe, and then there is a "community" tab. I think this may be what he is referring to. I sometimes look on each of these tabs just to see what other folks that I enjoy watching have on their tabs. I've found, for example, links to other really great, likeminded content creators pages. Hope that helps. BTW, I really have enjoyed all of your videos. Your southern accent and charm reminds me of my kin (great grandfather was a tobacco farmer in Wilson, NC. I spent some of the best times of my childhood up on the farm collecting eggs with my great Aunt, learning how to string beans, cook 'em, field peas (my goodness; most delicious things in the world...), feeding chickens, cows, pigs, and runnin' through the cow pasture on a home made go cart my cousin built. Awesome memories...Thank you for keeping history alive, reminding me of good times, and teaching all you know. Such a pleasure to view your work. Blessings to you and yours!
