this kid must have had a good dad or grandpa or something, because he is way to skilled for his age. Not to many people his age even attempt or are interested in the lifestyle he is promoting and living, good on ya
Kid, you are a badass! Your balls out can-do attitude is awesome! Just do a little research, pull out a pencil & paper and sketch out a plan and get to work! Keep on doin' what you're doin'. You're puttin' the "Can" in Canada!
Deadly young man! Been a welder fabricator for over 30 years you did a awesome job! Nice to see you take on projects and complete them so professionally. Keep up the great work!
Yeah I was impressed that he was actually using alot of math and trigonometry. Alot of kids forget that stuff, those equations come in handy all the time when I'm fabricating and cut down on wasting material.
Enjoyed the video young man.keep up the good work . I've been welding for 65 years and let me give you some advice be careful welding on that wood floor
I watch you and then I watch a family living off grid in AZ who are using mud filled tubes to construct their buildings. Hard to know which I enjoy more. Both are so interesting.
You don't actually need a crank. You disconnect the trailer and tip it way up until the top of you arch touches the log. Fasten it close, then pull the trailer down to rehitch it. We had a similar rig that we fastened in the middle of a log that way. Done right, just one person can balance and move it around
Just an idea for you....get a plastic barrel to put over the end of the log to keep it clean when you're dragging it out of the bush. Cheaper than having to buy or build anything else for hauling the logs out of the bush.
You’re a damn fine fabricator! You know how to build stuff. Your good with your hands, your mind is clear to understand what you need to do, like “I could tell you but I’ll just show you”. Great demonstration! You’re a great problem solver! Cutting that round hole for the axel, then discovering you needed more offset. You made the transition on the fly like a champion! Then you’re right back on track! You’re exactly the kind of man that every fabrication shop has always looked for! If you’re ever looking for that kind of work, just show them this build and you’ll be hired on the spot! Anyway, I just wanted to say that you did a great job on this project! Best wishes
One of your best videos. Keeping the log clean when skidding is only important when they are to be sawn (as you know, dirt & grit will quickly cause blade & saw problems). If they are to be peeled, then it shouldn't matter. I use a Timber Tuff log skate, since my logs always go to the bandsaw mill and I have silty/sandy topsoil. 'Love watching your progress, cheers. FJB & trudope.
Next time like when you were putting on your hitch coupler to the tongue and you have two bolts… run one from the right and one from the left. That way you have the nuts applying pressure from opposite sides. Outstanding fabrication and the skidded will serve you well for years!
I don't know that tongs would be much of an improvement over what you already have. You have a dandy little log skidder there. I wouldnt even worry about back wheels . Your logs seem to trail well enough behind you. It amazes me how you get an idea and bingo, it's done and your using it. Very nice to see you again. Good video. Pax.
Fantastic job! Every video, you simply amaze me with your knowledge and intuition. I also am a huge fan of your “no Bullschitt” attitude and presentation. Looking back on all of your videos from the beginning, you are an inspiration to young people all over the world! Looking forward to more of your videos and can’t wait for your eventual “log cabin” build. ✌🏼
Cool. I like watch this guy. He learned to do alot of things himself , I am the same way but it took me 55 years to learn less than kid knows. Amazing young man. It's all about just confidence to make and do new things and just do it yourself wherever possible , like life in general you want a job done right do it you ourself attitude. This guys humble and wise for his young age. Not bad weld either , being handy is the best skill a guy can have. This is a perfect tree hauler big tires heavy duty , beautiful design really. It's barely freezing , gotta love it .
Just found this channel. Touches all the right buttons: 1) Not too many women 2) lots of mud 3) a guy trying to figure out how to move big trees 4) sound track similar to "Vice Grip Garage" 5) Like watching the movie "Slapshot" when the Hanson Brothers show up. Keep 'em coming.
DONT FORGET THEM SAFETY GLASSES, I'VE HAD METAL AND GRINDER DUSTIN MINE TWICE, OUR LUCK RUNS OUT SOONER OR LATER , GIVE IT HELL, LOVE THE CHANNEL, GOOD LUCK
U have a lot of knowledge for your age your cabin build is what got me started watching you the trapping was a cool bounce and learning experience for me but I must say your in the B M F club lol keep them coming
WOW YOU REALLY GOT THE FABRICATION DOWN PAT GREAT JOB ON THE WELDING ,YOUR LOG SKIDDER WILL WORK GREAT THEY WORK WELL WITH THE ATV .NOW LET THE LOG CABIN BEGIN SO GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK .GOD BLESS YA .
