    The best tutorial I have seen!
    I'm going to ask my son to make a couple. He hates my rabbits because they escape all the time and eat EVERYTHING we dont want them too! This way they are on safely on pasture land and not in the food or flower garden. It was a disaster when they got into the greenhouse 😳

    I recommend lath screws for attaching wire mesh. You can always remove them easily if you need to replace the wire.

    Love your videos and this design. I'd really encourage you to consider putting some thick insulating material between the wood of the roof and the corrugated metal. Rabbits have super sensitive hearing, and the sound of heavy rain on a metal roof is actually quite stressful for them.

    Hi Daniel.
    I've recently discovered your channel and thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. I'm fairly self supportive, to some extent, at least and enjoy the solitary lifestyle away from the madness of modern day society.
    I'd just like to comment on two things regarding your build of the rabbit tractor;
    Firstly, I would have gone for a slightly thicker piece of timber holding the wheels, to prevent splitting and long term wear.
    Secondly, your handling of your angle grinder scared me a bit.
    As I often work with steel and the tools necessary, and might I ad, that I was taught by my late father who was a millwright and a boiler maker, I learnt to handle an angle grinder to the dide(blade running past one's body) for safety.
    I've, twice, seen people having horrendous accidents with these machines, handling them in a similar way to what you did here.
    Other than that, awesome work sir.
    Ps. My family originally came from Ireland and I've always had a special affinity for the country of my Ancestors.
    If possible, I'd like to visit some day.
    Sincerely
    Réno Potgieter
    South Africa

    Wonderful instructional video! Well paced, filmed, and narrated. You're a very good teacher, Daniel. Thank you for mentioning the tools too, as well as materials - I have no tools yet other than a drill, and zero skills, but it's nice to see what tools you used. I'm glad in a way that you don't have, say, 50 different expensive tools involved! That totally intimidates newbies. I also like that your sponsor is a service you use regularly and which can help many others of us, especially during job loss / change in the pandemic. And the free trials for 1000 people - what a nice way of giving back! Thanks so much!
