Since you squashed the critics at the start I, as a fully non qualified KZbin Ex Spurt, am here to restore the balance. Consider your self SEVERLY reprimanded. There. That should restore the balance. 😋

[@ronnyespinosa1984]

WITH THAT VALVE PROTECTION, DOES THE RIM LOSE BALANCE DUE TO THAT EXTRA WEIGHT ON ONE SIDE?

[@tripod6406]

Good to see you back my friend, I'm really looking forward to this build, going to be interesting!

[@Stakman1]

So good to have you back! I hope all is well.

[@chrisbolton4900]

Mr. Donn, the projects you choose to share with us viewers are always fascinating and entertaining. You show an enormous amount of ingenuity overcoming obstacles with the tools that you have at your disposal. Thank you.

[@cmotdibbler4454]

good to see you back, I can'tr wait to see how the forwarder progresses.

[@romanromanov9185]

Donn ты не пропадай так на долго, мы уж начали волноваться. У тебя лучший DIY канал

[@clarencegustafsson8673]

Nice to see you back again, missed the videos.

[@Middleman570]

I’m happy your back on KZbin. I like how you mark the kerf for cutting back when I used to use a cutoff wheel the would have helped. I guess it’s obvious and clever because I never thought of it. Any video I learn from I doubly appreciate.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks Donn for the update on what's going on over there. Looking forward to the project you come up with. Stay safe and hope the family is all well and growing . Keep up the fun around there. Happy Holidays to you all. Fred.

[@dakotamax2]

So good to hear you speak, adds a feeling of connection to you as a person and not just the awesome projects.

[@scottsorby7966]

Me time is very important for your headspace, and lots of people seem to overlook that. Those tyres are incredible, all kinds of crazy mental bonkers right enough but somehow I think they will work hard with this project. Stay safe my friend, we will see you when we see you

[@ukulelefatman]

Great seeing you again. Looking forward to the new project. And very interested in hearing the product story. Good luck in your endeavor!!!

[@valdis7663]

Очень рад тебя видеть, дорогой Мистер Донн. Спасибо что вернулся, надеюсь на интересный новый проект, ведь все твои проекты приятно смотреть и все они достойны нашего внимания. Удачи тебе и всего самого хорошего. I'm very glad to see you, dear Mr. Donn. Thank you for coming back, I hope for an interesting new project, because all your projects are pleasant to watch and all of them are worthy of our attention. Good luck to you and all the best.

[@bchdsailor]

Always impressing work by you Donn, looking forward to any videos from your projects

[@TheUkeloser]

So glad to see you back and happy to see what's coming in the future!

[@lorengolliher2712]

[@rjung_ch]

Hi Donn, good to see you back. This will be a great project and will be the right size for your forest work. I am also excited to see what you and your partner developed! Cheers 👍💪✌

[@GingerPiston]

Had to look up what a Forwarder is! Looks like it’ll be one of your biggest projects yet, so some great content ahead. Along with your new mystery product. Happy days.

[@KevCampbell]

Seeing the wheel spinning on the lathe was nowhere near as terrifying as I had feared it might be 🙂 Great to see you back

[@itarry4]

Yhea mind you he kept the speed very slow not sure I'd want to see it going fast though.

[@jamesa7506]

Yours is one of my favorite channels to watch! Good luck on your "future product" and this awesome build. 💪👍✝️🇺🇲

[@morgansword]

I realized I had not actually watched the very end so rewatched from where I really did remember, glad I did so that I find out your working on a special project.... I am a long time subscriber and know how your videos work so if I don't think something is right, then check..OK. Missed having not seen you for some time now and do realize everyone needs me time

[@orangepickel2]

[@raymondbrandt7831]

Hey brother I've missed your videos, glad to see you back and hopefully doing great

[@larryholloway2869]

Congratulations on your new endeavors.

[@mikemillett8220]

when I'm widening wheel's and the valve stem hole is on the edge of the rim, I weld up the hole and re-locate the stem to the inside of the wheel to protect it.

[@sebastienpansart1701]

Salut à toi salut tout le monde .ça fait longtemps que l'on ta pas vue merci pour tes vidéos ça fait plaisir a regardé tes constructions de malades

Glad to see you're back to work 🙂

[@rolfnilsen6385]

A forwarder - wow, you already have a timber trailer so you really are looking to scale up I guess. You are my favourite youtuber, great to see you making stuff again.

[@cpt.mirones5109]

he is turning the Trailer into its own Vehicle now i case you didnt understand it. :3

[@rolfnilsen6385]

@@cpt.mirones5109 I did not catch that information. Thanks, I think? As it sounds like you are trying to be insulting.

[@cpt.mirones5109]

thats why i made the :3 smily so it cant be taken as insulting.

[@warwicks2780]

When you said you were working on a product with your partner at first I thought you meant your kid :) Glad to see you here again. All the best with the product, and the family, and I look forward to seeing more about the Forwarder!

[@visionisscaryYTg]

[@kathrynwhitby9799]

[@opendstudio7141]

Stiill have the touch with the cutoff wheel. 👍 Motorizing that roller could be a new project to protect against heart failure. 😉

[@charlesxix]

It's good to see you back.

[@carloskawasaki656]

Thank you for your explanation , they are very pertinent 👍👍👍👍

[@franksmodels29]

Great to see you back posting with more cool vids 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@thomasohanlon1060]

Great that you took time off for you and your family. Would have been great to have had the wheels put on a balancing machine just to see how much if any effect widening the wheels had. I forgot to say great video as always & welcome back. Can’t wait to see the new project.

[@JKWorkShop]

good to that all is good with you ! we wear woried about you!

[@kirkpowell6161]

Thanks for the video! Happy for you!

[@skovgaard79]

Great seeing you again

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Cool! Great job Donn! Back in my younger years, I widened some rims using an old pickup with no bed, but it ran, and a hand hacksaw that I had welded an extra handle on the front side. I marked the rim where I wanted to cut it, bolted it on the truck, lifted the rear of the truck, started the truck, put it into gear, let it idle to turn the rim, and then, holding onto the two ends of the hand hacksaw I cut the rim. I was as shocked as everyone else who saw it that it worked as well as it did.

[@FaithfulMC]

That is some pretty precise anglegrinder work

[@quantumleap8888]

I'll have to say that it doesn't take just experience for that accuracy. Some people just have the tallent for it / hand eye coordination. I've worked around many guys with decades of experience and they still cant handle an angle grinder like that. I also think that because when its more of a hobby and not a daily grind, we take more pride and time with work like this. Perhaps / Maybe, IDK, just spitballing here.

[@quantumleap8888]

p.s. loads of "professionals" are still "afraid" of angle grinders. I find it mind boggling.

[@BangOlafson]

3:00 the good callipers! how could he.. .just kidding :D Good to have you back

[@ernieconway6116]

Glad your back!

[@Rubbernecker]

Excellent!!!! It's great to see you back, and I can't wait to see your product, there's no doubt that it will be a huge success.

[@slucas601]

We have missed you. It is great to see you back. Thanks for starting what we all know will be a great series. I will be anxiously waiting for each video.

[@davedoucette2360]

I understand that there's more to life than you tube. I appreciate all that you do and share on your channel.

[@timmillikan1155]

Great to see you back, looks like another interesting build. Thanks for the great content

[@jakobv8]

I am happy to see that you are back with a new project. It was a long wait, but I know I will not be disappointed.

[@AW-Services]

Good to see you are well, Donn. Another brilliant video. Wheel banding is okay for a practical use where speed and boy racer super stretched dangerous tyres are involved. I hope your planned wheel bearings are up to the job

[@Wil_Liam1]

Welcome back son ! Glad to see you back in the shop and working on a new project.. Hope all is well with the wife and kid and homestead... 👍

[@jeanfouchet2196]

Happy to see you again... I was a little bit worry that you decided to stop to make videos ! I look forward the next vidéos with this new project.. greetings from France.

[@chuckfanning5185]

Glad to see you are back. Really looking forward to this build.

[@freddie825]

Hey good day. Really glad that you're back.....I can watch again a quality video......keep it up Friend......

Donn in the morning, my ❤ is happy!!!

[@051biohaz]

[@BRUNOLedran]

Super boulot comme toujours 😊

[@2speed818]

Glad you are back glad everything is well, can't wait for the build

[@EnGammalAmazon]

You do a great job on your projects. One of the things that I would enjoy is hearing you speak a bit about your background and education. I have looked at a lot of Swedish forestry equipment and I have been impressed by a number of manufacturers such as Kranman. I have a project in my mind for a system of hauling long logs out of the forest for use in building handcrafted log homes. I just bought part of a farm in Sweden three years ago and I am in the process of moving all my tools and equipment from Oregon (on the Pacific Ocean side of the US) to my property about three hours north of Stockholm. There is a huge shop building on the property and I will be building another building to house the sawmill that I'm bringing over. I will have no end to all the projects that I could take on. Congratulations on your work. You are an inspiration to many. This is especially true for me since I used to teach high school vocational forestry. I have been building all the tools, equipment, and vehicles that I wanted and could not afford to buy. Again, thanks for your commitment to quality design, workmanship and creativity.

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

Don!! You're back!!!

[@tomcleghorn4005]

Im glad your back. Glad you took some time for yourself.

[@Crewsy]

This will be another AMAZING DonnDIY build. I look forward to each and every one of your videos. Congratulations and best of luck with your “product” that you’ve developed. Whatever it is, I am sure it’ll be great.

[@JASAUST]

Congratulations and best of luck with your product! Glad to see another outstanding build coming.

[@JohnSmith-ud9ex]

Very pleased to hear that the absence was due for positive reasons and not so many alternatives ! Good to see you back and looking rested and well ! = )

[@davidspilman531]

Glad to see you back Don I was wondering where you was I always enjoy your content good luck on your new journey that’s approaching your horizon can’t wait 👍

[@GingerPiston]

Hurray, you’re still alive!

[@BusstterNutt]

Thank you for all the hard work in making these excellent videos.

[@metricstormtrooper]

Hi Don, glad to see you back with another great video, hope all is well with you and your loved ones, take care mate, greetings from Tasmania.

[@mtbmaniac25]

Awesome idea! Seems like a natural next step upgrade for a driven forest trailer. Really looking forward to this series. Would love to have a machine like that as well

[@horatiohornblower868]

Glad to see you back, Donn! I am sure you have interesting things in the making for us.

[@greatappsinus]

Good to see you back 👍 Looking forward to this project 👏

[@4evermetalhead79]

I was literally thinking this morning that you haven’t posted in a while and double checked if YT did its magic again. 😅 But i was still subscribed and no new videos. 😔 And boom. Here you are. Not sure if i have magic abilities.😆

[@zilspeed]

It's great to hear you speaking, more of this please !

[@albertomenendezsuarez9297]

Me alegro mucho de que tengas entre manos un nuevo proyecto. Y que lo quieras compartir con nosotros. Viendo el trabajo que requiere modificar una sola llanta, me imagino que hacer las seis te va a llevar un tiempo. Te deseo mucha paciencia y mucho ánimo para afrontar esta tarea que para otro sería desalentadora, y más viendo la atención que le dedicas a cada pequeño detalle y tu obsesión por la perfección. Gracias por compartir tu trabajo. Un saludo.

[@andrewscott7485]

Good to see you back Donn looks forward to the build

[@president2]
