#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 .

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@s.pursell8901]

Alright so what am I missing here Josh? You've been in the Air force, electrician, Police officer, nurse and fence nstaller. Your a man of many hats. My grandfather used to say Jack of all Master of none but successful at each. 👍

[@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!

[@KevinJones-cp8qv]

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.

[@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.

[@danmartin6696]

A nice little trick for you level when your doing these types of things, is to duct tape a block or offcut to the top then it'll hung from the top of the post for you! It makes life just a little easier. Looking awesome Josh!

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@ThaMainGun]

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

[@butler386]

Thats actually a pretty good nail gun for that use. Fence is looking great. Thanks for sharing.

[@bertgrau9246]

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

[@sonnyjordan1911]

Looks very nice such a good job you did your farm is so beautiful take care you guys God bless

[@terrymangum3914]

The fence is looking awesome Josh. This video was packed with useful information. Really like that Stihl chainsaw. Enjoyed this video as always.

[@batpherlangkharkrang7976]

Hi.... Thank you 🎥👍👍👍

[@christlover]

I have respect for all farmers 🙏🏾❤️

[@merrywalsh2809]

Your fence is gorgeous! Your land is gorgeous! I can see why you are loving life. And you have had so many demanding careers. I think you know how to grab life by the mountain oysters. New sub 🌸

[@waltershulas623]

Nice job josh God bless and stay safe

[@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!

[@HamiltonvilleFarm]

Good work Josh👍

[@teveler]

Always love the info Josh! Can't say enough good about what you do.

[@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!

[@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.

[@sudd2685]

Thank you for your videos really a big help.

[@CashisKingtrucking]

You make really entertaining videos

[@RoadhogRNA]

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

[@juanvizoso6356]

You are awsome man! Im gona do that on my farm, greetings from Argentina! God bless you

[@ezequielortega7238]

I love those little saws Josh I have the little bigger one it goes with me everywhere.

[@CynBrown]

Great video super informative.

[@johnpyle8027]

My dad use to use wooden levels in his trade. About once a year he would take out the glass and clean everything and rub linseed oil on them. I still have the levels to this day. I'm buying one of those saws! I cant go anywhere on my small property that I don't see something that needs trimmed!

[@billmiller5075]

Great info Josh

[@ralphstrucking]

Great looking fence.

[@dylanmcdonald7765]

Looks great buddy. Learned a couple things too!

[@paulhenry4205]

Cutting with that stihl chainsaw was too cool. Like nice really nice

[@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.

[@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?

[@mattjohnson1715]

Great video. I have family in Bryson City NC

[@dannytheplumber7394]

You are good man. Bless you.

[@raymondboulanger2908]

I love my Milwaukee cordless battery 16" chainsaw. Great for storm cleanup or quick cuts out back of property. If I'm gonna log all day, I'll use my gas husky saw

[@ThatFixItGuy]

Great video bro! That fence looks awesome!

[@KeepingItDutch]

Lol that tripod 🤣 fence looks awesome

[@biggrantlewis]

Thanks for the video 👍🏻 Awesome channel

[@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!!!!

[@markshechter8473]

Now that the boards have had a year to dry out... Did you Paint, Stain or Spray Diesel and Used Motor Oil on it? I think another video is required there Josh. WOOOO!

[@joshyddog2054]

Looks awesome!!

[@Original_Old_Farmer]

A couple of things. Save the head of tripod and mount it somewhere that you normally hang a camera. Second, if you make a jig that locks under the top rail and sets on top of the rail, you won't have to check angles and height. Let the jig do the work. Then just nail.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Thanks Old farmer

[@deaconlyric]

Indeed. I enjoy using "Hi hats" at work. I think you could easily make one on a board or wooden box and use it in the fields www.google.com/search?q=hi+hat+camera+mount&tbm=isch&bih=736&biw=1517&rlz=1C1ZKTG_enUS799US799&hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwjlk8PpzbnpAhXQV98KHTDyDI4QBXoECAEQKQ

[@robertkoons1154]

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

[@deanbarr5740]

Super Duper looking fence

[@brianforrest3377]

Nice looking fence pal great job

[@vikasgupta2488]

love it brother - thanks

[@bobjoncas2814]

...GOOD ONE, KEEP SAFE...

[@dstevenpaisley]

Used motor oil and gas .Use on all my trailers .Dryies right in

[@billwilliams9527]

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

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bhahhaha...I can see every imperfection

[@scottsorter7]

sure does look good

[@gonebeans9546]

Pointer bibs are the best!

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bhahhaha....I like my Liberty overalls brotha

[@gonebeans9546]

Stoney Ridge Farmer Well Alabama is in the USA, so I'll cut you a little slack.

[@tirkentube]

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

[@amossnowdaharleyman9179]

Simple wood preservative over here is used motor oil and diesel: 50/50 mix. Wood posts,fence boards,trailer deck, not so much on wood decks for people. Has a bit of a smell to it.

[@tudor.turtle1958]

Nice job

[@mattyboysully]

Great job fence look great just bought that chainsaw work great

[@FuzzyBears..]

Damn boss. That Stihl is the bomb

[@Will7981]

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

[@greghurrell9694]

nice day same as yours today in australia

[@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.

[@deakzoltan5546]

Josh the KZbin farm Star. Whooo.

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

bhahhaha a play on Cole the Cornstar

[@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

[@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.

[@MrBoiler09]

Hi Josh!!!!

[@connorlong1668]

Shoot I am thanking of getting one of those chain saws.

[@citizenx-cgn6929]

The end goal always, is to go home with all your fingers and toes, nice work :)

[@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!!

[@blue.collar.patriot]

Great video Josh! I'm thinking about building a fence similar to that on my new property. Just wondering how much you had to spend on your supplies if you don't mind me askin?

[@brianmeattey4151]

Great vid bud and I need contact ya again ..lol but say hi to Mrs stoney ridge and love ya all godbless ..oh and the fence looks awsome ..👍

[@stanleyjohnston5876]

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

[@devonreinhart1829]

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

[@bmck-ss3zb]

Placing the boards bark side out will help with them cupping,if possible.Asthetics come first though.

[@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.

[@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

[@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!

[@bobhendrex234]

Why are there two types of fences used on Stoney Ridge Farms (?stationary wooden and what looks like temporary electric)?

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

there are 3 types of fence here...the front of the property has the pretty 4 board wood fence...the pastures have woven wire high tensile pipe fence and the different temporary paddocks have poly electric...soon there will be permanent electric fence in the pastures as I begin my intensive mob grazing program. 90 paddocks on 125 acres of grass is the goal. The wood fence is pretty...that's why I built it buddy

[@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.

[@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.

[@HoneyHollowHomestead]

Yeah, I did that to one of my tripods, too.

[@bcgrittner]

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

[@StoneyRidgeFarmer]

Bhahhahaha

[@FarmallFanatic]

Fence had to cost a mint. Looks great 👍

[@sofakinggood5829]

Nice

[@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?

[@Ffew21]

If you pour out of a metal 5g bucket with the spout at the top side, basically upside down, you don’t have to vent it and the liquid will still flow smooth.

[@TitanTruckoftheYear]

Excellent tip.

[@lvsaltwater]

Great Video :)
