Well done stu a brilliant job on the arched wall mate not a easy one by a long shot but the result and finishing looked really profesional .keep up the good work and keep the videos coming

[@ShredPile]

Although I realize this comment got put in the wrong video (which is something I would totally do as well:-) I'm pinning it because when I read it in my email I knew exactly who it was meant for since I've watched @Stucrompton1 as well for a long time and also enjoy his videos. I appreciate you checking my stuff out as well!

[@nicksrestos8505]

@@ShredPiletop work from Stu Crompton. He’s as enjoyable to watch as you. “Escape to Rural France” is doing incredible work also

[@nathang.1561]

its so nice for a change to see content that's just a guy making a living, making things happen. no attention seeking projects, no clickbait thumbnail, no catchphrases, no sponsored content, no product placement👍

[@ShredPile]

Hey thanks for that, I appreciate it. My goal from the start was to make the content the focus no matter what I happened to be working on. I know I need to explain a certain amount of stuff along the way but it's by far the part I like doing the least. For that reason alone it's unlikely that Youll ever see me doing reviews and the like unless it's something I already use or have used for decades. There may be some product placement but it would be more along the lines of something that i've been hired to do anyway and the youtube part is a bonus. It is all a big experiment right now to see if it can be profitable and the potential is there but its deffinately a grind with highs and lows. There is a ton of youtube data for me to use ostensibly to benefit the channel but buried deep within it is a psychological element that (gone unnoticed) triggers an almost frenetic desire to keep creating content (which benefits YT:) I know i've seen it in other creators and when I started posting and combing thru studio I realized where it came from and what was driving it. So i'll just keep up the pace I can and the bonus will come from how well I can learn to streamline my system to cut time from the process along the way. Thanks again for watching and interacting with the video, it all helps:-)

Tight roping on the come-along cable like a Flying Walenda! Always impressive!

[@kevinhornbuckle]

I was waiting for the backflip.

[@Z-Bart]

It helps to have your mad skills. Carpenter, designer, equipment operator, electrician, metal fabricator/welder and that was only half way through the video.

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Ray! If I just keep walking in circles it all seems to get done:-)

[@jjulyaaugustsseptemberooct2408]

Looks like "mostly work and some play, makes Jake a swell guy"! LOL!!! First I saw the downside up-stepladder trick on the staircase, now I see you can use a short extension ladder as a pry-bar!!! KICK-AXE JAKE!!!!

[@ShredPile]

Haha, the next shortest thing was a 20' stick of lumber so I went with the ladder:-)

[@yourlongtimefan]

@@ShredPile I saw the ladder stair trick too, but I've already forgotten it

[@ShredPile]

@@yourlongtimefan I'll throw it in again at some point when I can set it up and show the difference between ladders and situations. It's pretty handy if it's done right.

[@robertsimmons3556]

Another good one Jake! Definitely a cornucopia of projects and skills required for completion! I enjoy all the comments below, they all nail the scope of what you posted! Good job man!

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Robert:-) Just plugging away over here.

[@robertsimmons3556]

@@ShredPile Here too and continue to enjoy what you post!!

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

Hey Jake Great video my friend, you are truly a master at all trades. Been trying to catch up on your videos, seems like Thursday gets here faster every week, lol. I hope you are doing well, and keep up the excellent work. I never get tired of watching you do all types of different kinds of work. See you next week. 🤙

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Joe! good to hear from you again:-)

[@roblescurbappealconcrete]

@@ShredPile I’m still here just a little more busy, my friend. But you still have my support.

[@zephyr1408]

I am a finish carpenter hv no idea why I so enjoy these videos ? Maybe you will call me to trim it out in walnut and do craftsman headpieces for the rolling doors? Probably not? But I do enjoy seeing you put together complicated projects!

[@ShredPile]

Awesome, maybe it's the scale of it or how it makes if from the pile of wood into some you can (or can't:) apply your own magic to? Either way, I appreciate you checking it all out!

[@davidbrowne1967]

You are a 1 man building crew, im in construction myself and honestly you inspire me to learn more skills and work harder.

[@danbreyfogle8486]

That little guy has a sharp eye for that game. I enjoyed the mix of subject matter in this video.

[@hallenw]

That boy is really quick!

[@ShredPile]

He is, Thats why I need to get on the board with a win before I can't :-)

[@paulhammond7489]

Really enjoyed it all, but my biggest buzz was when you managed to procure the exact limit switches to repair the Pettibone Telehandler control... Thanks for sharing Jake :)

[@ShredPile]

Yeah that made my day too Paul, the fact that I was able to get a pair with the heavier springs made it even better:-)

[@cjtaylor0103]

"Hey you want this cordless router to put some chamfers on that beam?" "Nah....hand me a worm drive and hold my beer while I send it". 💪

[@ShredPile]

Lol, I'm not even sure I had my router with me. That truck was in the shop at the time. Didn't have to be pretty (and it wasn't:-)

[@user-gf2km4us2z]

Nice work and good job

[@george8873]

Thought you were gonna get cross-checked into the board in that air hockey game Jake. Your competitor was brutal. You're lucky to have survived, lol.

[@ShredPile]

Exactly, Coop's awesome and I wanted video proof that I won that game as street cred in the future:-)

[@ronbosworth2178]

All I can say is you are so talented and skilled at what you do.

[@ShredPile]

I appreciate that:-)

[@Verstore]

Thanks for a diverse episode , I cringe when I see methods of building that I might have used years ago . At least I get to see a master use them

[@andylewis7601]

Another Great video I used to love playing air hockey fab game 🙂

[@hlogoma]

That was fantastic ... thanks for the bonus ... fun fun ... and of course the gem ... was that a jinx in the matrix?

[@ShredPile]

I think it was:-) It sure hurt for a bit in any case.

[@janlesinski4719]

You are one hell of a hard worker and skilled

[@ShredPile]

Thanks Jan!

[@jjulyaaugustsseptemberooct2408]

I know Jake (about the short extension ladder) I'm just messing with ya. I was told/taught in Minnesota that a long grab/extension tool is a Whiskey Stick!!

[@mikeaustin9810]

Jake you play air hockey about like I do. LOL

[@user-gf2km4us2z]

And also great bonus 😅

[@ShredPile]

Good times:-)

[@MUDNROCKS]

I think you need to go have a rummage around an electrical wholesaler for a silicone rocker switch cover for that mast control switch on the Pettibone, that groove around the top of the handle sure makes me think it should have one to keep the shit and water out, failing that chop the finger off a commercial rubber glove and shove that over it.

[@ShredPile]

You’re absolutely right Simon, there was one there with a little circlip on it and I should just put something over it. I put a little roof on the top of the forklift and that helps a ton but not enough:-)

[@glenlongstreet7]

Jesse Muller is overhauling his Pettibone, interesting to watch his channel. I think he got his when Andrew Camarata tipped his over on a steep driveway when the brakes failed, and he and Jesse got it back on its feet and now Jesse has it.

[@ShredPile]

I'll have to check in on his progress. Over the years I've run at least 20 different telehandlers of all sizes and can honestly say that the pettibone 636 is just magic. Even tho I have two of them if another came along I'm almost positive I would pick it up and put it into the rotation. The brakes are tied into the main hydraulic system and when they go they really go as I found out one day. It pays to keep the active area hoses fresh and there's a couple on my list to do right now:-)

[@ericcapucci9869]

i live in central or. i remember doing a few jobs in the valley all the framers dressed like crab fisherman .working in the mud.luckilly im a tile cont.

[@ShredPile]

That's a great way to put it and i'm still chuckling about it. Over the years I've noticed a great deal of culture shock from framers and carpenters from outside the area when they first come across it in the wild:-)

[@nathang.1561]

i think im gonna get good at tightrope walking and sell all my aluminum walkboards

[@ShredPile]

It would be so much simpler to get around these jobs if we didn't have to play chutes and ladders every day wouldn't it?

[@milesbrown2]

Jake, I told my friend all about your superior skills with the telehandler, but I think I’ll keep your forklift faux pas to myself 😉! 🤬Funny bone my ass.

Lol, sometimes I just make a mess out of everything all at once:-)

[@erikowren7894]

New truck? Sorry hate you had to get a new to you truck.

Nah, the gray ford is a spare truck and the white ford is my old main work truck. The newer ram I normally drive is in the shop waiting on a new def pump…:(
