He doesn’t speak, he doesn’t narrate, and yet it’s one of the best channels on KZbin. I don’t just give praise like this but the ingenuity, skill, imagination, creativity and craftsmanship is comprehensive and bewildering. Can’t believe there aren’t more subscribers but I’m glad I found this channel. Keep up the great work, Russ.

[@Takos_360]

I agree with everything said here.

[@cbmsysmobile]

The man has many talents and everything he takes on is done in a superb fashion. Always a good watch, if only to see what new skill he has which you didn't know about!

[@vincegregory797]

Yep!

[@jenaemarieAZ]

Exactly!!!! Very peaceful & his craftsmanship is admirable!

[@Giddykippa65]

my heart always soars when i get a new video notification you are by far the best youtuber no irritating music no unnecessary talking just gripping videos of you tackling any task and doing it to perfection 👍

[@dickrosewater]

Maybe you should check out 'Escape to rural France'. One man rebuilding a French chateau. A little more talking, but more or less the same calmness and Zen-like qualities

Outstanding work as usual

[@christophersmith108]

It’s a real pleasure watching a genuine craftsman at work, not to mention one who does so without musak blasting away. I’ve been learning a lot from your series, thanks for posting it!

[@unclejackstoolshed4513]

I have learned a lot too.

So glad I came by this video. No music, no narration, no ego. Just skill. Well done.

[@ms.construed1305]

He has a great sense of humour👍🏽

[@a.p.2247]

As a little girl, my dad never shooed me away while he worked in the garden, on a car, or in the shop. He even taught me to sew. I have wonderful memories of handing him tools and learning their uses. He was a man of few words, but he showed me I could do anything with time, knowledge, persistence and the right tool😊

[@noellenielson1212]

My Dad did the same thing with me. It takes an amazing, kind, thoughtful man to let a little girl learn about all kinds of things! Keep preparing her for her future and enjoy how she is right now. And definitely keep up the great work!

[@HilaryB.]

Another one here! I spent many a happy hour with my dad, in the garden, watching him decorate, he did his own photography too and I loved helping him develop his old black and white photos! (showing my age there!) 😅

[@patbird9694]

Thanks for not changing your video style . Always enjoyed your sense of humour. Good work mate.

[@QuivaRPG]

I've never get tired of hearing any child calling "daddy daddy daddy" in that joyful voice. Kids only do that when they have a dad who loves them.

[@CalHallows]

Shout out to the one woodlouse heroically holding that fence up on its own. Your service will not go unnoticed brave sir/madam.

[@chibs3666]

I can't express how much I enjoy these videos. This is like the oddly satisfying aspect of Primitive Technology's videos, but with the pleasure of seeing something be absolutely transformed by excellent craftmanship. You're absolutely spoiling us with this much content in one video. 40 minutes despite having the video be straight to the point and cutting out monotonous bits. I applaud both your handiwork and your ability to capture and present it in a way that makes it very satisfying and entertaining to watch!

[@Vickie-Bligh]

Russ, it's gorgeous. I love the fence and I do love how private it is. Tiffany was so cute and funny. Her little fingers waving into the camera was priceless. I know that it's easier to do without them but the memories of "I helped daddy" will last forever. Warms my heart. Thanks for sharing, Russ. I look forward to part 3.

[@rootvalue]

The thin, horizontal, rounded-over slats with the breathable privacy weed barrier looks so sophisticated compared to most vertical plank 1x6 fences! Your technical and problem-solving abilities are always so well complemented by your aesthetic creativity and design choices.

[@RomantiCynic]

As so many others have said, I know it is going to be a good day when I wake up to a fresh New Yorkshire Workshop video. Thanks, Russ! Beautiful job, as always.

[@paulweston3663]

The multi-skill sets are surreal. Literally beyond my comprehension. All I know is that if was blessed with them, I would spend my waking hours making beauty out of ruins. I suppose there are a few people around with the manual skills, but Russ's imagination on top of that must make him a genuine one in a million. I could watch his mesmerising videos on a loop....

[@gotworc]

I honestly i feel like most people could do 80% of this stuff by just dedicating some time researching before attempting these kinds of projects. Just takes an individual who's willing to learn and make mistakes in the process

[@blacknight1003]

I could watch this guy all day - it’s just mesmerizing seeing him tackle every job with perfection. It makes yer sick really!!!!

You’re my favourite thing about KZbin. Your videos are just brilliant. I’d obviously love it if you did more but when one does drop like today it brings so much joy. Thank you.

You sir are an absolute joy to watch create some of the most aesthetically pleasing creations of beauty, your attention to details your planning and carrying out of the finest work is an utter joy to watch, one of the best KZbin channels on here. Thanking you for such a great joy everytime one of your episodes drops can’t wait til the next one

[@Chester16791]

Been watching this genius for a while now and I think I’m starting to get on a par with him. Yeah I use the same tape measure as he does and spirit level , I’m sure mine are a bit out though , and remember the time he said he made his wife cry , well I tiled our kitchen floor last year and the wife still cries about that every now and then. 😂😂😂. Great job again Russ cannot wait for the next one .

Looking forward to seeing the spectacular washing line this man creates. That one visible over his fancy floating patio 40:40 must grind his gears. 😉

[@paulhume8083]

It's funny how I just can't wait for the next instalment. Superb craftsmanship and perfect video editing.

[@Ianmundo]

There’s lots of content from America on youtube but I love watching your videos because you’re UK-based, and we have different materials and terminology. Great job! 👏 👏 👏

[@capitalinventor4823]

Charlie DIYte is another UK based KZbinr I watch. I like how he explains things and what went wrong on his projects. It's a different style of projects and video. He's quite good while this channel is near perfection. I enjoy both.

It feels somewhat amusing to have a water feature approximately where the old outside loo used to be, from one form of splashing to another... :P

Your skill, craftsmanship, and attention to detail is mind blowing! 🤯 I ADORE how patient you are whether it's meticulously chipping away at reclaimed bricks or taking some time to teach Tiffany about watering concrete mix. Thank you so so much for uploading your videos. I look forward to each and every one of them! Blessings from Washington State! 💛🖤💛 Stacy

[@dottiebaker6623]

Love the re-use of the old brick. It has so much character and fits in nicely with the old walls. And your fence is brilliant. Well done! Can't wait to see the finished space.

[@RallesBastelgarage]

Looks very nice, you did a good job.👍👍👍I'm looking forward to the next video

[@mattelias721]

Your garden is really coming together, Russ. You blew my mind at the trick of the spacer and prybar combo to set your gate - what a technique! I can't help but wonder how your neighbors are reacting, or if it's even an issue? The amazing thing, I think, is that apparently in Britain they have 4x2 lumber, while here in the US it's 2x4... I'd get so confused trying to remember to turn the board... /s

I do love a bit of demolition. Those brambles behind the fence will fight back if left untouched. I have heard it said that regular cutting back to ground level weakens the root system to a point where it can be dug out easily.

[@gbentley8176]

Thank you. always enjoyed working with old bricks. I have one Hampshire Red sliced down and framed as wall art. It has Weasel paw marks embedded in it from green. Fired and 170 years later is admired. The brick was made from our own clay too. Hope your family enjoy the lovely space you are creating. Best wishes from an oldie.

Beautiful, private and safe for the little ones. Brilliant. 🎉

[@DrPsyc71]

Absolutely astonishing! The landscape fabric behind the slats is genius. Everything is absolutely professional and perfect looking, and I love that you used as much of that lovely old handmade brick as possible. It is really the best of both worlds - very neat and crisp and modern, but with a sense of age as well.

[@icecreamtruckog3667]

I would recommend to put some caps on those fence posts so that they last longer like stainless, plastic, glass or ceramic. It keeps the water away from the end grain and reduces rot.

[@jonanderson5137]

Heat the wood a bit and apply a thick coating of pine pitch. There's also a farmers trick, you drill a hole in the post angled towards the ground and fill it with oil, plug it and refill the hole until the post is saturated.

[@hobbyengineer1617]

Doing something similar at my gaff. Motivation is always an issue, but this guy's work is the equivalent of motivational manna.

[@martemacdougall1985]

Absolutely superb design and craftsmanship! Even the slats line up across the gate to either side of the fence. The black weed cloth is a creative solution for both privacy and good aesthetic. I certainly trust that the water feature will completely cover the blue plastic liner? Such a smart looking enclosed garden. Can't wait to see the next phase. ❤ Thank you ✨️ ❤

[@shadowdancer4532]

Your previous video gave me the confidence to have a go at repointing my house (some of it) , however, I haven’t started yet as I am still painting inside, but I then get nervous because I think I could never really do it because you make everything look so easy. I worry about getting the mortar mix wrong for the old bricks, getting more mortar on the front of the bricks, whether I’d be strong enough to mix/lift the mortar, scraping out the soft old mortar and then bricks falling out and the house ending up with a hole in it! I’ve loved watching your building transformation over the years, and I love seeing the Yorkshire stone buildings as it reminds me of my years in Yorkshire and my own little stone cottage. I’d better finish this painting now & then find my confidence for repointing!
