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.

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😊

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.

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.

Why did you set your gate post in with Postcrete? It is a very common mistake because it is quick and easy. But you are setting a lump of wood to sit in a concrete bucket that will always be wet between the post which will shrink and the concrete. It is far better to ram around the post with broken brick , and you have plenty of that, or broken tile. Ramming it around the post a bit at a time supports the post very securely and moisture can drain away from the wood. The post may be pressure treated but that breaks down when subjected to constant moisture. Using up old rubble around fence posts is also cheaper than using bags of cement mix. It is a great video!
