[@adam-qf2vz]

Hello From the UK.....I love the stuff you do....its not just the fact you take the time to make the tool but you always paint it and give it a proper finish.....thats the craftsman in you.

[@digdrivediy]

Brilliant! As handy as a pocket on a shirt! Thanks Doug.

Very nice job marking the driveway for snow plowing, you surely are the master of ingenuity, fabrication and organization. I get a lot of great ideas from watching your videos.

[@billh2735]

Very interesting Doug. Your creativity never ceases to amaze us. I enjoy seeing all of the unique solutions you come up with. Anyway stay safe healthy and warm. Bill H from Cranberry Township

Thank you!!!!

[@johnbresnahan2374]

Good morning, Doug. Pretty cool homemade tool. I found your channel through Mike Morgan when he bought your turbine leaf blower. I subscribed right away. Your property and set-up is amazing. I'm very happy I joined your channel. Happy holidays Doug.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thank you so much! Glad you found the channel.

[@ddelano7408]

That driveway marker installation tool is a great idea Doug! I started putting the markers in at an angle after watching your first video telling why you put them in that way. I've only had to replace one marker, since installing them that way, because a truck backed over it

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Glad it helped

[@JimFinlayson]

Awesome idea!!! Thanks for sharing. Nice cutting of the ice cream cake, BTW!

[@jimwiskus8862]

Great idea Doug! Minor always angled, but not because the reason that you have stated in your video. I look like a surveyor out there, trying to put them up. Now I know that’s not the way to do it! Thank you much hope you and your family had a wonderful wonderful Thanksgiving! We sure did hear in Iowa.

[@TechHoldingsCorp]

Great video and awesome idea. We often have the markers disappear during the winter because they hit a rock or "seemed" in far enough only to fall later with the wind. That tool serves as a good gage to verify depth on each marker. No guesswork or rework!

[@adirondackwoodsman]

That’s a great idea Doug! I use those markers but I am usually hitting stones so lots of retries.Nice job on the shed!

[@boblynn1881]

Thanks neighbor Doug. You did a great job. Bob

Greetings from the west edge of Iowa. Thanks for sharing your useful ideas! I’m going to build a version of your stake setter-for fiberglass stakes and electric fence posts.

[@BacktoBob1]

That’s handy. As a person who used to have to put those things in, and get slivers, I would have loved to have it. Also love the VS infomercial at the beginning. Ice cream cake is the only cake for me.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

😊😂

[@BlueSOF]

I love making custom tools like that and black iron and rebar are my go-to materials for making them. I have a couple of ideas I’d be tempted to add: 1. Notch a cutout in the side of the handle near the top so that I can fit my thumb in to hold the stake so it doesn’t fall out when I turn it over to drive it into the ground. 2. To ensure even spacing, attach a spring-loaded retractable cable, like a long key reel that janitors use, that is long enough to span the distance between stakes. It could be like a 15’ tape measure. Attach an alligator clip to the end. Clip the end to the last stake, walk to the next until the line is pulled all the way out, or to a marked length on the line, then drive the next one. Give the line a tug to unclip from the previous stake to repeat the process.

[@vincegusbar5404]

I wish I've seen this about 2 weeks ago. Mine are in but straight and nkw the ground is frozen. Great idea about the angle!! I really enjoy the channel!!

It’s fantastic to hear that your channel is growing! Congratulations on reaching a couple of thousand subscribers! We’re expecting a new baby in February, so we’re outgrowing our house. As a result, I’m converting our chicken coop into my new office. It’s a 16x8 space that’s just big enough. I’m exhausted, but this video inspired me to get started today. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thanks! That’s awesome!

[@jk9086]

I started using driveway markers in 2019. Haven’t had plowable snow since. Need to go put them out this year.

[@bioniclife]

have may have mentioned it, but I have the 870 version (gear drive) of your John Deere. I love the thing, and it has actually baled hay with an Avco, kicker baler. I love the idea of the marker "fence post" style pounder. It would help on the years I forget to get them installed before the ground crusts over.👍

[@OneEyeCustoms]

It sure makes them easier to put in

[@michaelchyles]

lol I’m already entertained by the infomercial format of this video haha nice one Doug

[@danlauze5275]

I ordered a set of driveway markers off Amazon a few years ago and they came with a very long drill bit for setting them. It works great, pre drill the hole and drop the marker in!

[@briankeithfisher7305]

Nice work Doug!

[@EverythingElliott]

Yup, I’ll be building one of those next year. My current system is pounding a piece of rebar in the ground, pull the rebar out and drop the stake in.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

@@EverythingElliott I’m pretty sure you have the skills for this project!

[@RudyBracher]

BRILLIANT! As always

[@LorisSawmill]

[@stevesrt8]

awesome stuff Doug!

[@deanrambler9006]

Hey, Doug, I wouldn't consider that tool overengineered. You have certain criteria for what needs accomplished and you were able to implement the criteria into the tool that makes it very easy to accomplish the task it was intended for. I am always amazed at the simplicity of your projects and how well they work. I see why Adam (Hometown Acres) frequently asks your opinion on many things. It makes me wish I lived a little closer to you. 😁I am near Lancaster, PA.

[@OneEyeCustoms]

Thank you!!!

[@HometownAcres]

That sure beats the 9” nail and sledge hammer I used to put mine in haha. I need to make one. I like the foot press

hi there looks good .like the cake cutter , we did pumpkin sawing / splitting /, like the idea pounder but to much rock here .i just use a reed bar m and a tennis ball on top . best to all john

[@mikewatson4644]

Good job on the post pounder. One thing does concern me though. I'm not sure that you are getting the posts equally spaced. Could you use a laser range finder to make sure that the posts down the drive are all equidistant? Thanks for the video

[@OneEyeCustoms]

lol, don’t tempt me.

Great video, Doug!!

[@OneEyeCustoms]

@@elaczi thanks!!!

[@BertsCustomCuts]

I just might have to make one of them. I didn't get mine in before before the freeze this year. Guess I'll have to drill my holes in for the posts.

[@KyleKAP]

Great idea, I use a long drill bit to drop mine in, we got 22 inches in the last three days in northern Michigan.

[@BissellMapleFarm]

"It might seem a little excessive...." 😂😂 Nah! Only if you make a driveway marker puller that goes on the mini-Excavator! Ice cream cake cutter was genius! That should be the thumbnail!

Well dummy me said, "I'm gonna prove ol' Dougie wrong." My wife had just baked a red velvet cake for when the family would come over later for our Thanksgiving dinner. I thought while defending my horizontal splitter, I would help the wifey out by pre-slicing that cake. I did clean the splitter before doing this, which turned out to be the only positive step in this experiment. I'm posting this while curled up next to ol' Carl in the doghouse. Btw, Doug, I didn't mention your name. (J-k'n)😅
