I agree and thanks!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

Cap’n thanx for accommodating my schedule. Today is a much less hectic day. We’ve already had almost 2” of rain and the sun isn’t up yet! Delaying this gave me the extra time I needed to get my chores done B4 sitting down to immerse my self in your latest antics! Now about the actual video presentation.., it had everything I’ve come to enjoy about your channel: sweat, problem encounters, problem solving, the 755, the log winch, the log arch, broken cameras, drone fly over, cameos by the girls and doggo. All combine to provide progress and pure viewing pleasure at the end. Considering that you went the extra mile and broke your hammer in this one, I’d say you reached video perfection… except for one snuggling little fact… Cap’n, I think it needs more cowbell!

[@CaptainKleeman]

Switch those tractor tires out for some pontoons soon!

[@sassafrasvalley1939]

[@bertrutledge4546]

And that boys and girls is why you need to learn geometry so you can figure out your angles and pull points when building a bridge in the middle of nowhere. Good video and lots of hard work.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching!

[@garymucher9590]

Wouldn't physics be more appropriate? Cause and effect are more useful here then most anything else... lol seems anything concerning such efforts are needed.

[@spudgamer6049]

@@garymucher9590 basic geometry is sorta a pre req for basic physics, and the more complicated the physics, the more complicated the geometry you need to know.

Thanks to surveying merit badge... It got me through High School trigonometry and a bunch of the algebra. And then there was the day that I was the presumed "unskilled" a member of the survey party which consisted of the engineer and me. I set up the theodolite and verified it as a good instrument, located an official USGS benchmark within three traverse points of the work limits. "Where did you go to surveying school", he asked. 👷‍♂️

[@billroberts3864]

Mike, I am impressed with the way you used physics to assemble the bridge beams. Fulcrums, pivot points, pulleys and force arms sure make your bridge build a much easier job. You are an inspiration with your explanations of what you are doing and then showing the processes using your talents.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thanks for watching!

[@Losttoanyreason]

I agree. Once he told me what it was, I forgot about it. If it had been a crack it would have been really noticeable, but a scuff that could have been a finger smuge in the corner was no issue. Now if it had been in the center it would have been distracting but it wasn't.

[@jamessteffens8337]

Very nice job, lot of hard work.

[@CaptainKleeman]

Thank you sir!

[@ronaldclark1178]

Captain, if you have to saw more timbers, pop a line, get your log off the ground, get on top of it and cut it from the top. You can make really good cuts that way. Thanks for another good video!!

[@CaptainKleeman]

That’s how I did it. It does work really well, just should have sharpened the chain when it started walking on me. Thanks for watching!

[@CaptainKleeman]

[@ohhpaul7364]

Kleeman, Mike. When I used to use the saw to rip trees, I found that if I slowly worked the blade around to being square filed on the teeth that it would rip better. Also, once I got wedges in there, I would take the branches from the tree, cut a wedge shape on one end and a flat on the other and make my own wedges from the tree that were any thickness or length I wanted to have for splitting the tree open. took me a while to figure those ones out.

Thanks for the tip!
