I'd like to introduce you to my first love: music. It's what I'm using to fix our broken marriage.
There are some stories I film but never release because their significance is not apparent at the time. This was one of those stories. After nearly losing our marriage last year, my husband Adam and I are trying to do more, important things together. Building this guitar and amp changed our marriage and lives for the better.

MORE ABOUT ME
I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."
I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

Okay you made me cry. I love watching your videos but this probably was the best one yet. Certainly the most important. My dear wife and I have been married since 1975 and she is the greatest blessing of my life. Continue to value your marriage!

@adamofnotrades Год назад

Thanks for watching! 🙏

@backdoor5993 Год назад

Congrats to you and Adam for choosing to make your marriage work, and working your marriage. That is really the key in marriage, both people choosing the marriage over momentary comfort. Blessings and grace are almost always the result of your effort, anchored boats cannot be steered and thus, go no where.

@speakrighttogod Год назад

Key words: "both people." At least it shows mutual interest, mutual effort and hopefully mutual love.

You and @speakrighttogod said it best.

My mom bought my dad a 1956 Fender Esquire guitar and amp for their first Anniversary in 1957. Yes it's still in the family :)

@mabmachine Год назад

I love this story.

@NGinuity Год назад

I bought one of those Type S kits from Stew Mac last year and I even have some upgrades like a set of new Fender Eric Johnson pickups and a Floyd Rose Rail Tail... still sitting in the box. The quality of the kit parts are top notch and I actually checked the neck to body fit immediately, perfect. Maybe I'll give that a go this Christmas instead of sitting around in despair. Thanks for the thought to refresh my memory and video.

@adamofnotrades Год назад

Go for it! Those strat kits are great!

@bobkok3890 5 месяцев назад

That’s AWESOME I’ll be 60 this year and I can’t even play the radio 😅 We are on year five of homesteading and year 42 of marriage Keep on moving forward fail or no fail learn love and keep on being happy

@tpreviti2995 Год назад

Dang it, Anne! You had me in tears, again! Love, love, love hearing these stories. You two make me smile and long for what you're building together. Miss you, buddy!

The Easton Cam was the best part!

@thomastieffenbacherdocsava1549 Год назад

Anne and Adam, more than a guitar you found a way back. The power of two exponentially expanded?

@snellscroft Год назад

Totally agree with you, nothing beats being able to see what you have made, I have farmed and made things to earn a living all my life, working with my wife and children some of the time, they are all adults now, with partners and some with children, most of them also make their living making things, others for fun, teaching them to make was the most important thing we did.

@LaddGardner4 Год назад

Great storytelling, Annie, with a moral that resonates best at Christmas time. Love you guys.

@christophermartin7973 Год назад

Great story and hope you have many years together!!!

@themodelhobbyist Год назад

God bless you and this story really from the bottom of my heart I need to hear this its good medicine for the soul

@bertquerry3694 Год назад

So many marriages fail because one or both spouses can’t or won’t put in the work that it takes to keep a marriage working and on the same journey together. I pray that both of you continue in the direction you have chosen ,and many more collaborations of life keep you close and in love….. be the exception!!!!

Great story! Love the work you two are doing on the farm, in the shop, in the editing room, and in your viewers' hearts & minds. Thanks for posting, and thumbs up.

@Leo99929 Год назад

I love my job, and it's basically what you describe: Either I have an idea for a thing that could make the companies products better, or my manager comes to me with one, and my job it to take it from there to a working prototype, and then quantify the benefit it does or doesn't provide, and present those results. I love it so much that I often put in unpaid overtime or spend my own money on projects because I think it's worth it. I get to be paid to develop new skills and learn new things, while hopefully making the world an ever so slightly better place... Shame I'm paid about 50%-75% of my contemporaries who put chasing salary over happiness. I've made the conscious decision that happiness is more important, and I'm lucky enough to still be paid more than the average person which means money is adequate enough to sustain a good standard of living.

@johnleith3161 Год назад

Great story but can I just say that whilst there were many things about the video from your music room that could be improved. For a video shot by a five year old that was fantastic.

@77Loucas77 Год назад

I'm not crying happy tears! Your crying happy tears. 🥲

@jonnyglucose72 Год назад

A five year old shot the music video? I’ve worked with pros that didn’t shoot that well…my, oh my. Such talent!

@levent8208 Год назад

Working too much can really kill a marriage. One sure thing, he is a VERY lucky guy, I can see why he fell in love with you !

your cut scenes are very well done. This might be the first time we've ( I ) have seen (3:33) your more formal wedding ring.

@adamofnotrades Год назад

Thanks! 🙏

@Slugsie1 Год назад

Corporations do not have your interests at heart. I don't know what Adam did, but I doubt Amazon felt the loss for long, and he was probably replaced in short order (this is no slight against Adam). Your marriage however is a totally different beast.

@Reynopatrick Год назад

My heart just grew 2 sizes ❤️

@leebarnhart831 Год назад

I bet your husband is a really nice guy and you deserve no less than that. To many long and happy times and life together! That don't happen by mistake you know. I know you know.

@jennab313 Год назад

OK, Anne --- side note before I forget (still watching the video) . . . WONDERFUL to see your BEAUTIFULLY restored farm truck actually moving. And DRIVING!! If you've posted the completion elsewhere, I must have missed it. That truck is da BOMB!!!

@GWPHomestead Год назад

Awesome story, thank you for sharing! Love the Easton Cam, tell the young man he did a good job.

@edblough4134 Год назад

Remember you and Adam are bone of bone and flesh of flesh, one bone one flesh. Love each other, enjoy each other and never be in competition with each other. Make your self Adams playmate and make Adam your playmate. Most of all love each other.

@egbluesuede1220 Год назад

Thanks for sharing......so true! Shout out to Stew Mac......if you haven't hit their website yet, they are an amazing company. Great products and great service.

Adam has SKILLS ❤

@markg.1159 Год назад

My aunt achieved her childhood dream of become a farmer when she got re-married to a neighbor who raised dairy cows. Which they retired from recently only to rehab a condemned house together. Watching how they worked together, and also seeing how much you threw yourself into your projects, I thought "it's got to be hard on their marriage for Adam to be so disconnected from all of this". I thought I might see a video about that at some point, and I'm so glad it's a happy one!

@tomas5376 Год назад

Right on! In today’s chaotic times, true love can be difficult to maintain. Over the years as I watched your videos, it was always obvious that you two were meant for each other. Felicidades on rediscovering true love💕🙏🏼

@paulaflynn9170 9 месяцев назад

Anne, I totally agree that spending quality time with your best friend is the most important and necessary thing to do to grow a strong life together. I enjoy doing things with my husband more than anyone. I get a deep appreciation for him. Merry Christmas and God Bless too you and yours!

GO Girl! Even-though I ended up alone, i totally agree with you fight for your relation is the most important thing in the world. People in general give up to easy, especially when life kicks you right in the ... I am happy for you two, that you found your music back again.

1. Congratulations Adam! 2. Great story, I love it! 3. Gorgeous tele! 4. PLEAAAASE post the full cover of y'all doing That Thing You Do!

@Danielily1 Год назад

I’m very glad you are taking your marriage as a priority. Keep working at it. Marriage will get better with time. Remember that no one and nothing is perfect on this earth. So, allow each other the space to make mistakes, forgive each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Also, look for your spouse’s love language and do that for each other. This is very important to have a full tank of love.

@mikededmon Год назад

THIS is love. Relationships require work. They are hard and full of struggles but if people love each other, they can also flourish with good communication and vulnerability. This story was beautiful. Thanks for sharing!

@keithviolette5870 Год назад

Excellent video and message. Best of luck with your business! I have a fairly stressful job as an engineer and manager at a fast paced medical device design company. I have found that if I don't get enough "shop time" making stuff, either for work or for fun, the stress builds up. There is a release in making something fun and functional, especially if it is a new invention (that later gets patented) or something made useful from scrap. Even better when you involve your family and friends in an epic build.

This is something rare among couples, and isn't really allotted for in the traditional modern American lifestyle. I'm so excited for you guys that you've taken a leap towards each other, and I know for sure you'll continue to be rewarded for this effort and devotion. Love ya, thanks for sharing your journey and the cam that almost got away. xox
