the list of skills you have taught your daughters and they are many will stand them thru a lifetime. i think they will always have a confident outlook and no aversion to work or problem solving or adversity will deter them. i only hope they will choose wisely mates in their future.i don't think many suitors will match their potential. you have raised them well. astoundingly well. but you are a hard act to follow. giving girls the trust you have given them their entire lives has undoubtably given them a can do outlook. i don't think a lot of men will match up well. maybe look for neighborhood boys in similar circumstances for a good match.certainly counsel them as best you can. you have given the best example of all thru your love for each other and i hope all your girls want that for themselves. and they certainly know from first hand expeireince what that looks like. i hope the best for all f you. and from reading your comments l'm not alone in that. i want every daughter to have a long happy life the same as you. they certainly deserve it thanks to you.''''''''''''''''
Just found your channel, what your wife and of course you are doing with the girls I think is fantastic. Those young ladies are way ahead of their youth. To the first young lady on the torch your first cut was outstanding there was nothing to be ashamed of, and by the time you got to the second one I couldn't have done a better job..... To a you girls I am proud of you . Oh one more thing watched you build your house, would you build me one, damn good job. I'd hire you....
I got inspired built with my own broadfork after watching this video but I need a little more "bonus metal" to make it sturdy enough. You guys just rocked this is my favorite channel.
I love this program and all your beliefs and the family and children have such great attitudes and no problems only solutions attitude and have naturally got amazing skills Jeff ur attitude inspires me and your wife has an amazing smile lol aorsom family if you come to new Zealand I'd love to show u around in the rural parts .great program great family
Good job dad, your building not only a tool, but a terrific relationship with your family. The real value is the family quality time and as a bonus you get a broadfork.
All your girls are awesome! Great job teaching them so many different skills. They may not appreciate it now but they will in the future. Love your family vids.
Where the heck were these kind of girls when I was growing up looks like you guys are the only ones that raise them like they used to lol I live in the country and I don't know a single lady that can metal work or milk a goat or care for bees or anything else I see in these videos very amazed and inspired to teach my kids the same
my dater sead she wonted to learn to weld so i set her up showed her wat to do sat with her for a time Butt when i left to attend to something else you could see the desire fall away as she got board.
I love this channel as it is so uplifting to watch. This families work ethic & togetherness is just awesome to watch. These young ladies are learning so much from Jeff & Rose that imo out weighs anything in todays school system hands down. They are eager to learn & very quick lesrners as well. These young ladies are very amazing to watch learn and grow. As always thank you for sharing this & take care till next time.
Rocking side to side is the best way if you don't have the body weight! It focuses the available weight to just a couple of the Forks rather than all four Forks at once! Great going great project great to see you have everybody involved. Keep up the great work with your great family!
7:44 Bonus Metal. I took welding in high school 42 years ago, and never welded since, until last summer, I'm not good at it, but I enjoy the making, the creating, and the sound of bacon ;-) Practice is God's primary way of making better, no one starts out an expert; good job girls.
Impressed with your farm daughters (duh) because they are so skilled at what they do. I like the "Eh" you say every so often. Haven't heard you say Al-u-mini-um, yet or Shed-u-al, yet. I live in the states but lived in Winnipeg for a couple years. Loved it. Thanks for the video. Very cute girls for-what-it's-worth.
Nice welding/cutting and instruction. I'm now a welder/fabricator after school and 2 years in the field. There's so many important things you can build out of steel.
I LOVE this video. I have never seen or even heard of a Broadfork and this is impressive. Especially the fact that the girls made it and it worked so well. I so enjoy watching you all doing your thing in the woods and teaching the children how to do it, and allowing them to know they too can do what they need to do, to survive!!!!!
Jeff, I love watching you working with your family. So cool to see your girls welding, pouring concrete, butchering hogs and hunting. Teaching some great lifetime skills. Great job man. Looks like you have a great time up there in the Great White North. I'm a bit jealous.
Love your videos, love the content and really love your girls. If they don't like the work they sure hide it well. You guys are awesome parents, you can tell the love between all of you.
Really an amazing family. As for me you both can be the best mom and dad for giving them a chance to learn and do everything in practical. I truly love and appreciate your videos.. God bless you all and keep safe and good health and happiness in your family...
Great Project!!! It will be cool to see how the pigs impact the fertility and workability of that clay soil. How do you protect your pigs from becoming prey for the wild beasts? Thanks for making such interesting videos.
Was wondering when you were going to clamp a guide on for cutting... I do love me some welding and cutting. I've only got plasma though. Would love to try Oxy-acetylene...
I didn't think using that mild steel would be any good, but you made it so heavy, and stick welding might have been better, but so long as the welds penetrated enough, it should all last a very long time.....at least long enough for the kids to get tired of it.🙂
The boys that come courtin these young ladies better have their shit together!!!!!!!!!! They better not be afraid of a girl out lifting, working, shooting, hunting etc.
I'd love to head up there and show you guys how to weld a little better! Not saying you suck at it at all but it's a great skill to have and will always be able to make good money, and just take a lot of pride in a good quality weld, although you should take pride in every weld at any stage of quality as long as it's better than the last:) love this channel and your guy's view point on a lot of things!
Now all we need to do is Meccanize it by mounting it on the fount forks. off the tractor, & pushing it forward. to lift the cut & then move forward to rinse & repeat Until you have the ground cut the best result is by using the arms on the bucket to push it into three ground & as it aerates the ground back it lifts the soil & so on. hell, it's almost biblical almost Dubbing the size of the tool. With say a span of 6 feet, & the ability to cross that you have just lifted. cab all at the benefit. the big. casework in the mosquito mounts as there in the cab. the reality of developing the tools to get the job done. I take My hat off to you girls. well done excellent work.
Gotta love a young lady weilding a cutting torch! 😮 Get that gal a stick welder and you'll be able to get better penetration without having had a lot of welding experience. I use 6011 Victory rods almost exclusively (using a Lincoln Crackerbox). I call them my Daygo rods. Day go through rust, day go through mud, day go through paint. Heck, day go through just about anything!
Dave’s got the weight to make it to work good. The girls are a little too light and it’s a little too heavy for them but what leverage it has!! Potatoes would definitely do good in all that straw.
Do you have a wood chipper or can you flag down the hydro company while they cut trees and brush under the power lines. Have them dump the chips in your garden.
That must be an awesome guard dog. I have to keep 2 German Shepherds to keep them from becoming someone's meal and those guys can fell a 2' rock wall digging out a mouse or dig up 20 ft of buried drain pipe because water flowing thru it sounds like grave-diggers. And holes. They can dig their way to China while after any gopher that did not get the memo. Finally adjusted their contract to say "will alert owner of any vehicle passing the pump house and any human who is out of place and will try to intimidate the hell out of anything crazy enough to enter the fenced compound around house and will not dig holes or knock down rock walls." They are incredibly effective against human intruders but they are also hell on quail, grouse, starlings, ravens, and gophers. Not so much on other vermin. Was astonished to see them on security camera have a convivial meet and greet with a big grey wolf a good 6" taller than my boys. They were smart enough to give the mountain lion a very wide space and woke me up with strange whimpering woofs so I could run it off. Same with the bear (sometimes being the alpha backfires). But, hey, wolves, mountain lions and bear aren't in their contract.
From where I'm sitting, ya godda feel sorry for any guys these Young Ladies bring home. They really do set the bar almost too high . . . LOL, you go girls and be the best you can be!
So jealous! My ground just grows rocks. Every spring, the rocks burst thru the ground as the frost heave digs them out. Then in summer the clay in the ground solidifies as it dries. Installing a fencepost after July 1 requires a degree in Mining and the understanding that you are not digging a hole - you are mining for rocks, the bigger the pile, the deeper the hole. First you find the little hose tip that looks like a firehose tip and then use the garden hose water to blast the clay out until you have a depression big enough to hold a little water. Go away and do something else for a couple of hours. Blast the liquified clay out and remove the rocks as you go and put them in a tight pile so you can see your mining progress so you don't give up. Can usually get a nice hole in about 10 hrs. Late spring around here is sometimes called post-hole season. Growing food requires raised beds with screened bottoms and a fenced enclosure, including the top, to keep the mining critters (gophers, grave-diggers, mice, and voles) out as well as the raccoons and mule deer. Don't have to worry about the elk though, they are fenced in the elk range (noooo, not to make it easier to hunt them, but to keep them out of the orchards). Finally realized it was easier to find wild food than to grow it. Turns out there is lots of wild stuff here in the east slope of the Cascades. Saskatoons, mulberries, and salsify roots are my favorites. Chicory and mustard greens are everywhere in spring. I harvested seed off them and now grow the wild stuff all through the growing season. The good part is they hate cultivated ground; requiring only that you skim off competing weeds. Planting winter squash an inch down is a really good way to also till your ground and add mulch with no effort. Currants and gooseberries love clay. Will be stunted but produce like crazy. Apricots like clay. Still trying to figure out how to grow starch foods and will be trying 5 gallon buckets for potatoes next season.
Our Dad always reminds all seven of us girls and our two brothers that, "Everything comes from the dirt, so respect it." So true!
Great video. I am going to build a broad fork. Its like the perfect no till tool.

The Jeff and Dave commentary in these videos is like watching those two moose from the movie "Brother Bear" narrate a homesteading project. I love it.
I got inspired built with my own broadfork after watching this video but I need a little more "bonus metal" to make it sturdy enough.
You guys just rocked this is my favorite channel.

I’m thinking there is nothing that you’re girls can’t do. You should be proud parents. I just found your guys channel and love it. Ray from Oregon
Thanks Ray, and welcome to the channel. We're thrilled to have you!
Those girls did a great job!!
Your girls are going to master so many skill's , GOOD on you Dave and ROSE.
Uh, er, did you mean Jeff and Rose? 😂
Love you are teaching the girls to weld
my dater sead she wonted to learn to weld so i set her up showed her wat to do sat with her for a time Butt when i left to attend to something else you could see the desire fall away as she got board.
She is a quick learner! With mig try pushing the weld i get better results doing that.
I love you guys and your humor - HEY!
Abbie is my hero tried welding once did not do very well congrats girls you are amazing to watch is there anything you can't do be safe
I haven't finished watching but I bet the girls do all the work.
Salute to you sir and your family
I love this channel as it is so uplifting to watch. This families work ethic & togetherness is just awesome to watch. These young ladies are learning so much from Jeff & Rose that imo out weighs anything in todays school system hands down. They are eager to learn & very quick lesrners as well. These young ladies are very amazing to watch learn and grow. As always thank you for sharing this & take care till next time.
That was amazing , I have never seen a Broadfork… Can't believe Abigail is only 14 with all those skills .
Rocking side to side is the best way if you don't have the body weight!
It focuses the available weight to just a couple of the Forks rather than all four Forks at once!
Great going great project great to see you have everybody involved. Keep up the great work with your great family!
Nice work Abby! No matter what those cuts are great. I love that “I am better at grinding.”
It is so great to see your kids learning how to be self-sufficient.
And the fact that they can cut & weld way better than I can is kewl! :)
7:44 Bonus Metal. I took welding in high school 42 years ago, and never welded since, until last summer, I'm not good at it, but I enjoy the making, the creating, and the sound of bacon ;-) Practice is God's primary way of making better, no one starts out an expert; good job girls.
Your daughters are awesome then all have so much talent
Your girls will put many guys to shame in the future!
💪
Personally I wound just have bought a subsoiler and hooked it to the tractor.
Jeff & Rose you have a beautiful kid's they can do anything. They are awesome kids we love them. God bless you family
Impressed with your farm daughters (duh) because they are so skilled at what they do. I like the "Eh" you say every so often. Haven't heard you say Al-u-mini-um, yet or Shed-u-al, yet. I live in the states but lived in Winnipeg for a couple years. Loved it. Thanks for the video. Very cute girls for-what-it's-worth.
Sarah is putting out better welds than a lot of my men have done over the years.
Love watching you guys, what you needed was a "RIPPER", to attach to a tractor!!! However, great job!
Nice welding/cutting and instruction. I'm now a welder/fabricator after school and 2 years in the field. There's so many important things you can build out of steel.
I LOVE this video. I have never seen or even heard of a Broadfork and this is impressive. Especially the fact that the girls made it and it worked so well. I so enjoy watching you all doing your thing in the woods and teaching the children how to do it, and allowing them to know they too can do what they need to do, to survive!!!!!
Good that you taught your daughters self-dependence. and how to do think for themselves
Jeff, I love watching you working with your family. So cool to see your girls welding, pouring concrete, butchering hogs and hunting. Teaching some great lifetime skills. Great job man. Looks like you have a great time up there in the Great White North. I'm a bit jealous.
Single Dad Homesteading suggested coming over to check you guys out......sure glad I did!
Maybe i watch all of your videos..your family is awesome!!!!!and your kids are all girls..and they knows everything..i salute.
A small tip while using the torch if you tilt the tip and push toward the work it preheats the steel its fixing to cut and leaves a better edge
Awesome, thanks for the tip!
Love your videos, love the content and really love your girls. If they don't like the work they sure hide it well. You guys are awesome parents, you can tell the love between all of you.
I love your videos-- I would love to live this kind of lifestyle one day. I couldn't imagine being able to.. have a little sense of actual freedom.
I'm impressed..all ur daughter's very2 amazing..,just named it,all they can do it..perfect family,👍👍👍
To be self-reliant...WOWWW it's all in your family!!!! This is the kind of life that i wanted to...
Another excellent video. You are raising some amazing humans there. The best broad fork builders that I have ever seen. 😎😎
Fantastic, teaching and training them well.
All those smiles!!! You folks make my day. Thank you.
I am absolutely amazed at your girl's! Great job on the root cellar it's really cute!
Really an amazing family. As for me you both can be the best mom and dad for giving them a chance to learn and do everything in practical. I truly love and appreciate your videos.. God bless you all and keep safe and good health and happiness in your family...
Awesome! You took the words out of my mouth.
BRAVO guyzzz !!!! that a really good job and BRAVO girlzzz👏👏👏👏👏welding very well👏👏👏👏👏👏
thats awesome invention. i'm going to make one for me. look easy when dave use it. thanks for the idea man.
Dave was not pulling it as far back. He was compensating for the hardness of the soil.
Great Project!!! It will be cool to see how the pigs impact the fertility and workability of that clay soil. How do you protect your pigs from becoming prey for the wild beasts? Thanks for making such interesting videos.
We have a great guard dog that keeps all unwanted critters away.
Was wondering when you were going to clamp a guide on for cutting... I do love me some welding and cutting. I've only got plasma though. Would love to try Oxy-acetylene...
Thank you very much for sharing how to make
I didn't think using that mild steel would be any good, but you made it so heavy, and stick welding might have been better, but so long as the welds penetrated enough, it should all last a very long time.....at least long enough for the kids to get tired of it.🙂
The boys that come courtin these young ladies better have their shit together!!!!!!!!!!
They better not be afraid of a girl out lifting, working, shooting, hunting etc.
You should use the clay to make stuff, like a fireplace, some low walls for an outside place of some sort and stuff like that :)
Hugelkultur . For real. The best thing you can do for where you are.
Love to see the girls cutting and welding.
Your daughters make those “I’m so annoyed” eyes too!
I'd love to head up there and show you guys how to weld a little better! Not saying you suck at it at all but it's a great skill to have and will always be able to make good money, and just take a lot of pride in a good quality weld, although you should take pride in every weld at any stage of quality as long as it's better than the last:) love this channel and your guy's view point on a lot of things!
"If mom wonders we'll tell her it's supposed to be like that". Ha Ha. You girls are learning well from your Dad.
So awesome!! Love it!
"You see this part, right here? This is called learning" hahaha

Educational, into wilderness living! From Urban concrete in Malaysia!
Your son super talent...cute😘😘😘
It’s really nice watching your videos ❤️ love from 🇵🇭
Gotta love a young lady weilding a cutting torch! 😮

Sarah is awesome! You got a great kid there!
Looks great !
#1 Shade tree Welding rule of thumb: the bigger the blob.....the better the job!
Parabéns, brilhante ideia!!! (Brasil)
Dave’s got the weight to make it to work good. The girls are a little too light and it’s a little too heavy for them but what leverage it has!! Potatoes would definitely do good in all that straw.
We love your video's, great diy !!
I bet the kids will love it, so much that you’ll have to pull them off of it for dinner.
ha ha ha
Conhecimento e aprendizado para vida toda! Admirável!
you need to get more videos up, as I only have 27 more to go, then i'll have to do something, like mow the lawn, or wash dishes
Do you have a wood chipper or can you flag down the hydro company while they cut trees and brush under the power lines. Have them dump the chips in your garden.
Oh my goodness another northern BC’er! Hello from Prince George!
Do you know that you can buy wheels to fit the oxy torch so that it makes it easier to cut a straight line
Pallet forks on a skid loader works well to.
well done!!!
Put some ashes on the garden its awesome
lol lol lol I think I agree with you. Too funny. Send us money. Haha
Love the channel. God Bless
learn them girls some stick welding , they will go far , thanks for the vid
Its potato season now?! The raised garden bed is very productive for potato. My experience :)
Frick & Frack........ These two are so funny.
That must be an awesome guard dog.

Another thing Jeff and Justin B. have in common, girls fallowing them everywhere.
Nice i liked
nice fork, the weird bugger you caught feeding on the prawn is known a a squat lobsterr!!!
I loved welding
From where I'm sitting, ya godda feel sorry for any guys these Young Ladies bring home. They really do set the bar almost too high . . . LOL, you go girls and be the best you can be!
Love these
