Thank you man. My dad was gone growing up driving a truck. Literally almost my whole life he was there for two years before he passed away My grandfather was gone running his business is etc. but when they both passed away on the same day in July 2013 all of their dreams came to me. And I own a trucking company like my father and I purchase my grandfathers ranch. Watching your videos has taught me a lot Of things that I missed out on learning from my fathers. So I want to thank you as a Christian brother for the work you’ve done and the things you’ve shared on mine. I have prayed for you for about two years after watching the first video from your site. God bless you and yours

This man just said banger. I actually appreciate that because I've been watching since I was 16. I'm 21 now. And I've taken so much from him and his lifestyle

You can tell that's an aspen tree because of the way it is

You're being the dad that alot of us didnt have through these videos. Thanks Cody.

“That’s drills a banger, I’m on twitch” oh Cody we love you 😂

“That drills a banger” DAD STOPPPPPPPP

The simplicity. The know how. The entertaining go happy attitude. Golden content.

Totally true about the hedge wood (osage orange). I've seen it melt an outdoor wood burning boiler. If you can get your hands on some, toss one piece in with some other wood in the stove and feel the incredible heat. I like to keep a few pieces around for when my wife comes out to the shop and always thinks its too cold.

Could you imagine the curly fries you could make with this tool!

Those drill accessories are something else. Really cool. I love the idea of turning a useless log into something that will endure for many years to come, this is the woodwork we should have learned at college. Thanks Wranglestar

If you round the edge where the flat surface of the seat meets the log curve it will be more comfortable and not tend to pinch the skin under your thighs.

Pro tip: An easy way to figure out what half of your full measurement is would be to bend the tape in half up to the full length measurement and whatever number it shows at the bent end would be the measurement you're looking for.

It's great to see the progression since your videos a few years ago, you and your family deserve everything you've earned over this time.keep doing God's work brother. I pray for nothing but peace and prosperity for you and yours.

I'm gonna be honest just the fact he called a drill a "banger" made me sub lmao!🤣

I could take a little nap on that bench, I think! To listen to the river roll, a little sun shining on my... yep.

For some reason I really enjoy that you don't edit out the time it took you to figure out the math for the middle portion. Most other people on here would, shows good character.

I might by one of those drill attachments just to make kindling with!!!

Wrangler makes me feel alright when I come home from work and need something to watch, I'm nowhere near a handy guy but his vids are super informative.

So the other day I decided to organize the garage. I put some tracks in so I can hang things and got it looking great. I stood back and looked and felt the fizz. Hey man love what you do keep it going.

The extra backwards pivot is for when you attach the saw to a stick for high cuts where you can't reach above the limb but you can still apply pressure from below.

Best vid in a long time. I howled at 8'8". As a fabricator I told you the answer before your pub school spiel.

I instinctively wanted to laugh at Cody's math abilities, but reminded myself he has more skills than I could hope to ever achieve. So I kept my mouth shut. Nice bench!

"that's a banger"..."im on twitch too" I died Cody, that's funny but true.

Had to pull an all nighter for work and this was the perfect thing to watch as I wait for the application to build and deploy. Now I have to do a whole day of demos and presentations in a few hours. I wish I could be sitting on that bench watching the water flow by right now. Cheers from Texas.

"That drills a banger! Im on twitch too, i know what the kinds talk about." Now that sentence my sir, was a banger haha

I had the Benchmade 940 for years. Lost it on my Father-in-law’s ranch in Mexico. Green titanium handle just like yours. Best knife I ever had. I’ll end up getting another one as soon as can stomach spending $190 on a pocket knife. It was only $170 when I bought mine.

My parents had a wood stove in the 90’s that said no Osage on the door.

Thank you for not being pushy with you religious beliefs. From an agnostic atheist, I’ve never felt uncomfortable or disrespected in any way by anything you’ve said and I appreciate that. I sense that your faith is very strong. Most creators I’ve seen on here who are that serious about their beliefs tend, by in large, either implicitly or explicitly evangelize. Or at least make subtle suggestive or even condescending remarks. Keep up the great content my friend. 👍🏻 I wish you and yours all the best. ✌🏻✊🏻

I would love to carve my name in that bench, but I'm from the west coast and can't spell my name😂

As an east coaster and a carpenter, I haven't ever met a serious person who doesn't know the difference between pine and fir.

If you’re over 5’11” your pronouns are fe/fi/fo/fum. Sorry I don’t make the rules

I have been meaning to ask my wood working teacher if he watches your videos, I bet he’d like it. Dude has been taking teaching from home not so great, I know that your videos makes my day a little better, have a great start to spring

This might sound awkward but you are truly living the life I dream of. One day I’ll be there!

This guy is a real storyteller. I bet he’s grandkids are gonna be happy

“That drills a banger” I never thought I’d be outta the slang loop and here I am at 24 confused as ever tryna figure it out haha.

Hey Cody here's a quick tip so you don't have to do that math in your head. Fold your measuring tape back on itself so that zero lines up with your measurement and your answer to half of your measurement will be where the tape folds back on itself. In the bottom of the U. You can also do larger addition and subtraction by reading where the folded tape lines up on itself. For instance, if you wanted to subtract 27in (2ft 3in) off of 17ft you'd hold your tape the same way as the first example then see where 27 meets the folded back part of the tape which is 177 (14ft 9in). It's basically an improvised slide rule. Hope that made sense and is able to help!

Reminds me of the days in the wood shop with my grandpa

So half of 17'6" is *NOT* 8'8". Here's a fairly easy way that works for me: I bump it to 18' even (adding 6"). Half of that is 9' But now we have to remove half the difference, so since we added 6" to make it easy, we have to subtract 3" from the final. This give 8'9" and for most people can be quickly done in your head. To be fair, 8'8" is just fine for your purpose.

It's always amazing to watch someone convert something incredibly basic into something both beautiful and useful!

I did this while solo camping and when I came back 2 months later some philistines had burned it

IM 6'4 and went to public school, i knew i liked you for a reason. Great bench, perfect size.

I was not expecting you to be 6’4”. Known you for years

Thanks for not ruining the serenity with any music

I look forward to your videos everyday

You doing the math on camera is so real, loved it! That's me every time I'm building with scrap pieces.

I went to private school age 5 to 8th grade. Entered public school behind other kids. I really don't think its the school at the end of the day its the teacher that really matters. Home schooling makes sense if you are in a rural area but the social skills gained even in a bad public school are needed for the real world. Great job with your boy, seems like yesterday I was watching that video of him and his mates chopping down trees with their small axes.

saying that the drill was a banger and then knowing what you said threw me for a loop. love it

I really enjoyed this video. I’m also looking forward to the other projects you have coming up but certainly want to see that knife video. I carry my 940 daily.

Simple, practical, and done with purpose. Very nice!

We need a knife update ASAP. I couldn’t agree more about the 940

That is absolutely brilliant!! That is an antique of tomorrow. People will marvel that to the end of time!

I never thought I was a very smart man but after watching you struggle with basic math I feel pretty good about myself. Lol.

$10 says you take a stream-side nap on that bench when the sun returns. Living the dream brother🇺🇸👍

Now you’re going to need an 18’ long chair for that bench...or 18’ table for that bench ?

There is only a one person in all the internet that has the power to make me buy things and that person is you. I Already have the chainsaw mill and the more power puller. I really WANT that mortice tool set.

And half of 17 1/2' is 8'9", not 8'8".

Cody, You haven’t heard from the original “East Coast Guy” from Connecticut in a while. Take 17 1/2 feet and make is 18. Now 18 divided by 2 is 9’. Now take the 1/2’ (6”) and divide that by two, which is 3”. So 9’ minus 3 inches is 8’ 9” to the center. I always round up for odd numbers. And I know Douglas Fir too!!

“What a Tool!” Cody, you’re not talking about yourself again, I hope.😉

This guy knows everything about everything when it comes to building and tools.

I love my benchmade 940. I got the limited edition in D2 with carbon fiber scales. Interested to see your video about what made you swap!

Cody, I respect you to much to be that guy that says, “well I would have.... “ but in the future a few smaller ones for outside / inside the tent, fire pit, etc with future slabs would be fantastic! I believe your have inspired me. Thank you good sir. God bless.

Those west coast guy's aren't so good with them numbers. 😉

Yep... we East coast guys are stuck (in Massachusetts at least) with our primary tree being the Red Maple followed by the White Pine. Fir does exist here, but in smaller numbers. But they are very likely to be all about in larger numbers in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont.

The way I measure - string, measure, fold in half for middle. No math required.

That’s a neat idea, thanks for sharing! I have some oak wood I think I will use to make something just like that. The only problem is, us East Coast guys can’t use non-pressure-treated wood for the legs, the termites will eat it up in just a few months

08:57 is, where the metric system comes in handy......;-)

Great vid. Love from the UK 🇬🇧. As said, public school in the UK is often associated with wealth and upper classes and can cost tens of thousands per year to attend per child. Schools such as Eton, Milfield, Atlantic College, Brecon, Wellington School etc are some examples with Eton probably being the most famous.

Oh, that math. I was getting confused. You were about ready to stretch out the tape and fold in half I bet.

Makita over Default all day baby!! On a serious note, Cody is one of the few RU-vidrs, that I'll actually sit down and watch the entire video from start to finish. He's actually showing this millennial generation, "The old ways" Carrying forth a tradition, of our American forefathers. Past generations valued, farming, woodworking, family, religion. This is actually pretty important, if you think about it.

Osage Orange(hedge apple) produces 32.9 million btu per cord

5:28 gigant pencil sharpener ✔️ Now to look for the pencil

Cody, Osage is pronounced OH-sayj. The Osage Nation would like to speak to you.

A great tip to get the centre of anything. Measure approximately half way and pick a measurement and make a mark. Make the same measurement from the other end and mark. Your centre is between those two marks. It's easy now there close together.

The bench is to tall for the tall man, he has to sit on the edge so his feet touch the ground.

The best "while I'm out here" task ever. Very nice.

Man drop some tendon holes while you have your tools for pole holders.

Just saw this 1 1/2 years after you made it. if it's across from my fishing hole i would consider using that mortise tool to put in a few "rod holders" to free up my hands as i ate lunch and listened to the water go by.

"Boy, we got some murderous sun today." - as I'm watching the video while getting ready to use a jackhammer in Arizona...

Hey cody! Just wanted to let you know that using your "rehandling an axe" video, I was able to rehandle my grandpas axe, and my dads hatchet! So thank you so much for that!

Nothing goes to west. What a different society we would have if we all would think that way as a nation.

When doing imperial fractions in my head I always go to the simplest larger number, divide by quantity desired than take the reminder, divide that and subtract it from the final... So to find the half of 17' 6" I go to 18' divided by two would be 9, minus half of the remainder (6"), since it was divided by 2 (6/2=3) gives you 8' 9". Not sure if thats convoluted, but it got me through 5 years of carpentry before I became a machinist. Now all I have to deal with is metric and thousands, or on a fun day ten thousandths of an inch.

Give him six months and he will be back to his spyderco don’t worry spyderco fans

Ohhh sage orange!!!!....us guys here in flyover country call it hedge. We use it for fence posts and it makes GREAT firewood.

The fact his half way measurement wasnt even right 😂, he was 1 inch off though, close enough

Bench looks amazing. I am 6'3", and have the same problems when I build things.

Blames his inability to do children’s math on public schools. Lol

How did RU-vid know I'd like to watch a video on a bench being made when it didn't occur to me? 😂 Osage orange btu's "it wouldn't (wood'nt) suprise me" unintentional pun made me chuckle.

since you are only 6"4" I can call you a shorty...lol I am 6'7"

As a structural engineer, I will agree that Douglas Fir is the undisputed top dog when it comes to structural softwood. There are better woods when it comes to structural strength, but when you combine strength, cost, and availability, DF takes the cake every time.

For a quick halving something like 17 1/2, if you go to 18 then measure in 9 each way and split the small distance. I use that on odd numbers with fractions in construction like 23 5/8.

Quick tip for approximate dividing into 2: measure full length and fold that length of tape in half - mid point dimension is on the fold. Good enough to check for a mental arithmetic failure. (Tip courtesy of Larry Haun, I think)

I’ve been using that same drill for at least three or four years now it’s absolutely a workhorse. does everything I ask of it from boring large diameter holes in two by fours for running plumbing or using the hammer drill for concrete I even build cabinetry with the same drill

I never was much of a fan of the standard leaf shape of Spyderco knives...but I absolutely fell in love with my Spyderco Vallotton....its heavy duty thick blade is very durable but takes and holds a fine edge thanks to the hollow ground blade...I carried a Microtech Combat Troodon tanto for a few years before that...despite it being an OTF, it was surprisingly reliable (I would hope so for almost $500)...my occupation probably had a lot to do with its reliability though...knife and tool maintenance is second nature to me.

Now that's a tool I don't see every day. Its like a giant pencil sharpener! Very satisfying to watch. Bench turned out nice and in a perfect spot.

Even though I understand the point of using a wooden mallet over a hammer for this, It still looks funny right after using the cordless drill. It's like what tools do we need? Definitely a cordless power drill, a feat of modern human engineering and also this club that looks like it was found in an archealogical dig.

Thanks for showing how it is done with the tools.

after revisiting this video i realized that you are my favorite cody your channel gives me the fizz!!!

Just take your tape measure and hold your number with you thumb, bring it back to your starting point look at the center. It will get within an inch or so. Thanks for sharing.

Howdy neighbor - well sorta since I’m about 6 hours due north of you. Did you feel any of the Mt. Fuji rumblings back in January? I‘m with you - the Lumberjack Tools family-owned business is a great bunch of folks. Shortly after viewing the video where you first introduced the tools a few months back I called them to ask some questions and described my needs. They walked me through all the options. I was fixin’ to rebuild some fence along the frontage road and figured to harvest some timber to do it. I was also looking to expand my woodworking output to include log furniture. Well, the Lumberjack folks got me hooked up with what I needed in no time flat. This video was, as usual, a real kick to watch since I will be putting the lumberjack tools to good use in short order.
