Custom Workshop DIY Tools Skills Solo Building Alone Homestead Farm Farmer Man Cave Canadian Wilderness self built. I needed a small space of my own so I built this little workshop by myself. I also have an 8 episode series on the build if you're interested. It's just for entertainment so enjoy. I love building things and learn new techniques every build. #workshop #custombuild #homestead
SUBSCRIBE and help support the channel. And don't forget to drop a comment. It helps us to build this channel into something special. We're transforming this 90 acre property into a self reliant homestead and farm stay vacation rental. We're building infrastructure to accomodate future growth such as barns, duck house, 7 coop chicken house, water hydrants, planting an orchard, building a garden etc. Chickens, ducks, geese, mini pigs, rabbits, a bunch of barn cats and two old english sheepdogs make up our team here at the farm. Please follow along on our journey of transforming this place into something special.

Always envious of a guy who can do that alone from start to finish! Great job, it looks great

Thank you for taking the time to document this process. It's so cool to see the workshop take shape. I have a question, would you consider making a Patreon so those of us who want to help you with a little something for kitty extras and whatnot could do so? I don't think you'd need to do any perks or anything. Me for one, I'd love to just donate a small amount monthly and help out the farm! Anyone else agree ? 😊

I appreciate that, I really do. Honestly I have so much to learn about that part of KZfaq. Don’t even know how patreon works. People have been asking for merch too, still trying to figure that out. I need to get a P.O. Box cause people wanna send stuff too. It all makes me feel good that I’m on the right track to a successful channel, I figure all this out soon. Thank u so much ☺️

@@HiddenSpringFarm Hi there. *Tip - I'm not sure how deliveries are in Canada, but in the U.S. (Los Angeles area), some delivery companies won't deliver to a "P.O. Box". For my business, we set up a "Mailbox" at a UPS store and we have an actual address with a mailbox# listed. All packages are accepted and signed by an employee there. This seems to have resolved the P.O. Box issue. Best of luck👍

You are such a hardworking man, Chad! It’s still hard to believe you were not in the building trade, but learned your skills on-the- job with what you needed on your farm. You remind me of Proverbs 22:29 “Have you seen a man skillful at his work? He will stand before kings; He will not stand before common men.”

Having worn this pair of shoes, albeit a half-century ago now, you stirred a plethora of fond memories. If you enjoy at least half the pleasure I enjoyed in building - and enjoying my shop, then... my friend... you've succeeded in ways you'll never know nor understand until another half-century passes and you reflect upon when............ I have a nephew who owns a ranch in Arkansas, and my greatest pleasure in my old age, is visiting and helping him on his ranch. Only when he's reached my age will he realize how he's kept me alive by allowing me to relive my youth. Take care, be safe, and enjoy... that which you create..................

All you need now are a couple of goats, sheep, small cows, and donkeys to make more building work for yourself and you'll have a real farm zoo. Lol😂 Am I mistaken of have you shed a few pounds since you started on this venture of yours? I'm pretty sure you have. You work so hard all the time. Your wife must be proud of you and all you've achieved in a relatively short time. Oh I forgot you still gave to build your saw mill.(I may gave used the wrong words here but being French Can. I had to google the translation because I couldn't remember how you'd called it: the place where you'll be processing your own trees). Excellent work I always love to watch your videos. Does your wife have her own channel? It would be interesting to see her work as well. But she seems like a quite a private person, which is ok too.

One potato size Rock even in good loam will throw you around like a kid. Not even joking. And my nephew who was 12 started a hole before us and bragged he beat us at digging a hole. Blew my back tf out when he said it or Ida killed that little punk. But my back was DONE at that point. 13-6’ holes in hard soil saved a wise ass kids life.
