WARNING!!! Read before buying one. I own one. It’s great for sweet gum and wood with little knots and high moisture. Fair warning, if you come in contact with a knot on oak or similar, you can break a wrist or arm easily. When you hit a knot it can yank tool right from your hand. If your drill has throttle lock on it, can be very dangerous out of control. I’ve owned mine for years and built many pieces of furniture and deck railing with it. Be careful and avoid knots!!!

I live in the rather hot humid and swampy South. There is a trick you can use on those homemade fence post to make them last longer in the ground without rotting. Get yourself a bucket of roofing tar or Roofing latex. Go to Walmart or your local hardware supply store get you some of those cheap screw hooks used to hang up flower pots. Screw them into the end of the fence post so you can string something threw it and hang the fence post up. Then dip the end of the fence post you're going to stick into the ground into whichever you bought Roofing tar or Roofing latex. Then hang it up somewhere where it won't make a big mess and let the roofing pitch or latex dry. Once it dries you can put it in the ground and it'll keep moisture, fungus and just about everything else that'll cause that wood to rot from getting to it. It'll add years to the life of that fence post.

The story of an american dream.. go to school for 20 years dreaming of being on your own with a nice job and getting a family started, then you spend the next 50 years putting all your free time into working through all of your healthy years either killing your body or killing your mind and soul just waiting for the day you save up enough change to retire working for a company who pays you a fraction of what you are actually making them from your work. Then you finally get to the point of being able to fulfill your dreams and either your too tired and body hurts too much to even want to do anything besides nothing or you get yourself to the point where all you know is work and cant feel normal unless you work so you work until you cant do anything or you die before retirement where all that youve hoped if that did happen is if everything youve spent your entire life doing will reap its benefits to the ones youve been doing it for but have no control of if it does happen.. Makes you wonder about all the millions of lives spent doing tasks that they either hated doing, were forced to do, or hurt them doing it just to ultimately have your lifes work maybe be seen for a bit when youre gone but like everything does, returns to the earth from where it came and the legacy of you within a generation or 2 will be forgotten and even all the blood sweat and tears dropped from the hopes and dreams will dry and the next generations will keep building like the roaches of the earth we are until we cant anymore.. all the bodies of the lost souls of the once living all churned and processed into the same dirt that builds the earth.. boggles the mind,. Some say it is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all but if ignorance is bliss than would the closest thing to a heaven one could possibly have and know would be to not be mentally aware enough to be able to feel love at all? Where your happiest moments in life is when you are able to laugh With someone but are too mentally inept to realize whats really going on.. lifes just a series of thoughts and actions. Dont let your actions become your thoughts, make your actions build thoughts to build actions and keep one another building.. someday has no action, today does...

I'm sure you know this trick but slightly charring the ends of the posts help prevent rot when they are in contact with the soil. Either way great video.

My wife and I recently bought a house and some land in the countryside. We realize we're happiest when we're out there like you are, tending to the property outdoors. Working up a sweat, seeing the fruits of our labor and sleeping like we never do in the city. And though I think we're probably on opposite sides of the political spectrum I've found myself drawing the same humble conclusion as you. Turn off the tv, turn off Facebook and tend to the things you have influence on. Your family, your relationships, your immediate community. In that simple exercise we become just humans and not democrats and Republicans and on that I think we would all get along just fine. Thanks for making content.

So many people have the exact same idea but even though many things about the ideas you have explained are definitely awesome there is something much more wonderful for our nation. Our founding fathers in my opinion would be turning in their graves if they saw how much of the the American public has these attitudes that are not the best for us. Cast something good is wonderful but the best is much more helpful. The greatest power is understanding the greatest freedom is knowing the truth and this means knowing it completely. Most people don't begin to know the truth completely. Well they definitely begin but if you know the saying there is much more then they have ever realized. We wouldn't have millions of people making similar comments if this was not the case. You can tell by the comments of so many people how powerful their understanding is or very clearly that it still need to be greater and even though it is awesome in many ways it can and seriously needs to be much better with life changing understanding.
