I can say that in my almost 60 years of watching television, and 40 years of watching home construction and building shows on cable channels, I have never seen one that builds a bridge in real time.

@Phil Jones No you cannot. You can say he grossed $180k in two weeks. But a LOT of that was eaten up by expenses. Insurance in case he fucked the job up, equipment and maintenence. And so forth. If he was lucky it was $90k in profit and even then he has to set aside most of that to cover the $50k in material for the next job. Also jobs are not guaranteed. He made that leftover $40k in two weeks but if he can't find another job for a month its only $40k for 6 weeks and although still VERY good, its not nearly as good as the $180k in 2 weeks that it may look like at first glance.

If we all did this, the awesome channels would grow faster, and the crappy ones would dry up. Again, not trying to be a jerk, just not sure if you're really up to speed on how all this works.

I'd like to add my 2 cents from my bridge building experience. We weld a steal plate on the upstream side at a 45 degree angle to force any floating logs to go under the bridge. Not sure if that stream has that kimd of flow but we do around here. Second point is we put flat 2x16 boards down over where the vehicles tires travel. It helps distribute the load more even on the oak timbers. Overall I love the bridge build. Thank you Andrew.

Highly recommend you put running boards (about 18"-24" wide) where each tire goes. Your 4Xs will last a lot longer and not move around so much when you cross your bridge. Also, put plenty of used motor oil/transmission fluid on your exposed boards. It works better than water seal.

The owner seems like a decent fellow, helping out with the building of the bridge; likely he will have a better appreciation for it. Good project and another interesting cinematic experience.

As I recall my school geography all those boulders you keep finding on site are glacial "erratics", tumbled down from the north during the advance and retreat of the glaciers north of New York City. That was followed by massive draining of Lake Iriquois (Now Ontario) rolling yet more rocks and sand down the Hudson Valley. Which you now make very good use of. Remember to thank the Ice Giants.

Lol, ya he says he goes through a lot of tripods.

First I watched this by myself at night, then I watched this with my 4 years old kid right next morning. We both loved it all: the video, the bridge and the machines. Keep up the good work and cheers from Finland!

You, Andrew, are the most amazon person I have ever seen. Isn't there anything you can't do. Plus your editing is spot on. GREAT JOB.

Fascinating project and skills to produce the finished bridge. Did not want it to end - like a good book.

You have a natural ability to connect with people and make them feel valued.

I find it funny how a lot of people are saying this bridge won’t last... me and my dad built a bridge over a deeper river that was designed the exact same way 11 years ago. That’s bridge is still perfectly fine all these years later

Theking16 well there shouldn’t be any reason y the bridge won’t last it’s made pretty well and braced nicely 👌🏻

It is overengineered, so it will last a long long time. If I had to bet, I would say the reinforced concrete will fail as there is inner steel exposed, and that will crack the concrete.

Great to see this, amazing work and editing. Love the fact that this is not 'youtube' made content but instead actually work you're doing for customers. So many people on youtube now are buying projects purely for youtube content, with little to no experience on how to do it, purely trying to cash in. I prefer how you film and edit your builds, no cheesy commentary or constant talking to the camera.

For someone that’s not a welder, I applaud you for your efforts brother! You never give up and I hope you don’t let the negative people get to you! Way to go Andrew, you’re doing a good job brother!

This is the second time that I’ve watched this video and I enjoyed it just as much as the first time . Over 3.3 million of us got good taste in entertainment .

8:00 Telling the guy who owns/runs the machine how to fix his machine because he doesn't know. Sweet.

That machine was a piece of junk.

Andrew Camarata, one of the best media producers! I get nothing done at home...

Man I really like your choice of music with these videos you do ..each one has its own unique soundtracks , gotta love it . Keep putting out the great videos ..

That drone work is just artistry...

I love how your big doggy just lays right down in the water. Loved the video! Watched the entire thing!

Nice work, thanks for the video. It was way more interesting than anything I have seen on tv lately.

Since I got my internet and started watching this good stuff, I haven't cut my tv on. Thanks

SUGGESTION, you may put some landscape fabric or any type of cheap poly fabric in that ramp, make it every 300mm a layer will increase durability and stability significantly ~~

Well done Andrew! Couldn't have seen it done any better, love the footages of the process.

Your dedication to your family and friends is truly admirable.

Love the bridge, I built one just as long using 2 telephone poles and 2X12's, of course for ATV traffic only. Nice job on the finishing touches too

That is one solid bridge! I am a carpenter and love when passion is put down in the labour. Great work and good luck with your future jobs!

Pretty amazing how you have evolved.. From building a bridge to now blasting rock.. Nice job Andrew.

I think we would all appreciate an update on this fantastic bridge you built.

Great to see Andrew smile as soon as his welder fired up, now to the next job. Great videos and job.👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I want to make public my compliment for the excellent work in building this bridge. It was a job well done, planned and serves as a reference for other companies from different countries. Beautiful the images of these clear waters and the dogs, including the one with the long hair. Great video. Congratulations👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Andrew, great to see another one of your videos. Keep up the fantastic work.

Andrew i have read all the comments and agree with, your a very clever man a jack of all trades. Thank you for all the films ive watched.🇦🇺

You wouldn't expect a guy like him to be so good at filmmaking and editing. Many talents. Dudes a stud, damn near a savant.

Got similar machines and set ups for my business. Man and machine become a beautiful thing when you know and like what you do. I can tell you do for I enjoyed watching . You guys are tough men considering conditions,congratulations,saying this for I am in Hawaii. Thanks

I think your dogs have a perfect life. Out in the woods and in the rivers having fun meeting other dogs car rides all sorts of rides around with lots of stuff to snoop

Good job and well done, funny to see Sadie always lay in the creek a true water dog while Levi just watches

Deserves an Oscar for 'Homemade Film of a Practical Project' . Much respect & thanks Andrew, keep em coming!

It's fun to watch an older Camarata video like this to see how much he's progressed :)

Nice how you put all the clips of the bridge together to make a nice video. Thanks for the effort. It is one of my favorite ones to re-watch ...about 4 or 5 times.

Nice job, you are very much a one men band, I love all the big boy toys as well. A very natural looking bridge, love the timber and rocks, awesome job. Regards Mark from Australia

Camarata just blows my mind. your confidence is astounding.

Andrew, you're living your best life dude. I'm happy for you. Good work!!

One of your best videos ever. Excellent job with every aspect.

Thank You Andrew sir. for this video. Super Super Video. CHEERS

Glad to finally see the progress! Thank you, @Andrew Camarata.

Very nice work. Love the rock placement beside the bridge. Great to watch

Just decided to rewatch it 3 years later, one of my favorite projects Andrew accomplished.
