Building an Old-fashioned Pole Barn, Pt 6 - The Farm Hand's Companion Show, ep 12
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 เม.ย. 2015
- It's finally time for Pa Mac to add a few finishing touches to his new workshop, hang his tools up, and settle in to this old fashioned pole barn, made with homemade lumber using a chainsaw mill. This 6th installment of the Building a Pole Barn series is the 12th episode which brings to an end volume one of The Farm Hand's Companion Show. A great video for showing the ins and outs of building a barn.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)
Also visit www.farmhandscompanion.com to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm or homestead.

Function over form can create some wholesomely beautiful things. Every bit of barn looks like it has character since it wasn't pined over by an urban architect.
This is hands down the best, most inspiring channel on TH-cam, although my wife might disagree when I start building my pole barn. My hats off to you, Pa Mac. Great work, please keep it up, I am excited to see what is to come. Thank you for sharing these videos with us!
I agree. My grandpa used this style barn. It is a great barn. I studied barn books and designs forever. I finally picked this old style. It is still the best, imo.
Started watching your shop build video while my wife watched tv. No sound so I wouldn’t interfere with her show. But I couldn’t stop. Had to see you finish. Loved it. Want to build my own. BRAVO. I AM A FAN.
Now that's some fine entertainment!! Educational and funny, Does'nt hurt to give flashbacks of our real heritage, God and family! This reminded me of the responsibility we carry after our parents have left this amazing place.... to make them proud! THANK YOU
Thank YOU for watchin', William
Simple elegant pole barn. You can't beat the simplicity. Not only is Pa Mac a practical builder but a comedic genius....
That pole barn is a priceless treasure, it represents a part of early rural America and shows how many of us lived our lives not all that long ago. Watching that video brought back many fond memories of growing up on the old homestead. I'm hoping you make another video soon.

I sure appreciate your kind words, 44wizbang!
As a beekeeper, a woodworker and an amateur blacksmith, I find your show both educational and entertaining. I like that you've got bees on your property. I love the fact that you have your Pa Mac's anvil. Too many have ended up in the scrap yard. Keep up the hard work and best of luck.

Thanks so much for the kind words and for watchin', Doug!
There was “a time when the farmer was king and barns were the palaces of America.”
It is so refreshing to see somebody properly brace doors and window panels to the lower hinge.
I do believe that was the best 25 minutes I have ever spent on You Tube, thank you
That's quite a humbling compliment and honor, Mike!
Pa Mac, you taught me more than my own daddy. Thanks :,)
Thank you for sharing all of your talents to bring us your wonderful new barn/shop. All the little nuances together give it so much charm it's like having more living area only with flare. The rock floor I think is the turning point where your barn takes on a look of art rather than just a barn. Congratulations on a job well done. You are a great movie maker as well !!!!!!

Thanks for your kind words, William. Take care, and keep watchin'!
As someone who dreams of homesteading one day, I find your videos hugely inspirational. Awesome barn by the way.
Good to see you survived the winter. Been missing the videos. Waiting on the following offerings.
I could have watched this a thousand times. It took me back to the good ole days of growing up cuttin wood, pumpin water and watching my father in his over ralls farm and pick fresh tomatoes from the garden. You are indeed a very talented man. I love this way of living.... million thumbs up!!!! Pa Mac
I appreciate that, Alice!
Awesome video. My 9 year old (the baby of 4) and I love doing wood working projects with the old tools of yesterday. She was telling me "daddy we have one of those, and a bracer and drill. Wonder if he has any jack or scrub planes". (We just bought and refurbished them is why she knows. It was turkey a pleasure and I enjoyed your shows to no end. This Texan tips his at to you dear sir and his daughter Aspen gives her most humble respect and admiration.
rob elder Hey there, Rob,
Yes, I've sure got a plane or two. And they could probably use a good honing from a 9 year old Texan who evidently knows her tools. Tell Aspen "hello" for me, and thank yall for watchin'!
Pa Mac, thank you for making these videos. Takes me back to "the good ol' days", helping and "fetching" for Dad. Helping him build out buildings, sheds, chicken coops, pig pens, pole barns (simular to yours) and even a couple of houses. My Father only had a third grade education, but he was one of the smartest men I know.
Again, Thank You and keep the vids coming.
God Bless & Take Care!
Thomas Pigg I appreciate that, Thomas.
The Lord willing, I pray there'll be many more fathers (like your Dad) and children out there building and farming for generations to come.
Reminds me of "home" in West Virginia. Never forget where you come from and you will never get lost.
One of my favorite TH-cam videos. I love this barn
Very instructive and your sense of humor makes it fun to watch too. Have good days.
Have not watched in some time but caught up tonight... so enjoy the simple life and craftmanship... thank you...
Just discovered your feed on my suggestion page and watched your pole barn series. I very much enjoyed it and your humor. The last one where you talked of your grandpa and the shop that you built brought a bit of a tear to my eye, remembering my Grandfather and what they accomplished with the tools they had. Thank you very much for sharing and hopefully I can do something like this for my own shop....
The latch sequence was hilarious. Bravo!
What a beautiful barn Pa! Congratulations and thank you for the inspiration!
Yes Your grandpa would have been pleased .. I know I am .. thank you for your video series , made me laugh, and brought tears to my eyes thinking of my grandad and all the stuff we built together in his pole barn in WV, I now live in Tennessee .. and found out the the local power board gives away retired power poles .. I see a pole barn in my near future .. thanks to your videos .. thank you so much!
I appreciate that, Sean. Thanks so much for watchin', and show me your pole barn work once you have some progress made on it!
Brother Pa Mac you are one awesome dude.. The work you had to do to get this project finished is quite inspiring and your a believer too bonus!
Joseph Williams Thanks so much, Joseph!
farmhandscompanion
Your very welcome.
Please don't stop making videos because I really enjoy watching your journey!
MrsMika Thank you so much, MrsMika.
No stoppin' any time soon!
Wow so worth the wait, you have been such an inspiration to me as I am in my third year of starting a farm with zero experience, thank you
You are my family's new favorite Channel, thank you.Great work I mean that from the bottom of my heart.
Luke Simons I sure appreciate that, Luke. Thanks so much for watchin'!
Last night we had company over and I had to show them one of your videos,of course I've been showing all my friends your videos. It's your sense of humor it cracks us up. Your videos don't say one word,,but are some of the funniest videos on TH-cam.
Thanks again, good job.
So good to see another installment from you. Things appear to be shaping up quite nice. God Bless.
Great to see you again Pa Mac! The new shop looks great.
Pa Mac just love your notion of industry and personal satisfaction, self-reliance and sense of self-worth. Workin' my way back up north to rebuild a family farm (sort of) in my retirement. Best wishes, Z
Sir, we are patiently waiting for more videos. Okay okay not so patiently. You're right up our alley. Keep up the good work.
What a wonderful person you are thank you so much for your heart warming lessons on life your a dear dear soul
Wow what a great job on the pole barn. I never saw your videos until I started looking for ideas on building a wood shed using logs and came across your channel. I watched the entire pole barn series. So inspiring I really enjoyed watching it. TY for sharing your projects.
So happy to see another awesome video! Thanks for inviting us along and giving us the motivition to try and do new things. Take care.
I had forgotten how much I enjoy your videos. Thank you so much for including us in your farm life.
Thank you, Pa Mac, for making these wonderful videos. You know, TH-cam is full of such utter nonsense, that it is both refreshing and inspiring to see someone take pride in not only the videos they produce (that'd be you, btw) but in the work the videos are capturing. I'm a father of 4 daughters, and my wife and I are working towards purchasing land in Idaho in the next few years so that we can start our own homestead. Your pole barn is the inspiration for what I plan to do once we're on property. The barn is the 1st project!
Once again, thank you for allowing to see into your world, and I'd love to see what else goes on in your homestead. The day to day life fascinates and inspires me. God bless, and see you down the road!

The best playlist I have watched in a long time! Thank you!
Woowhoo! Gotta get my Farm Hand's Companion fix. It's a beautiful pole barn and I would venture your Pa Mac would be very pleased to see the hard work you put into it.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed watching you build the workshop.
Hello pa Mac! So good to see an update after a long winter. Your videos are such a blessing- I like to curl up with my wife and kids to watch each one. Your work is truly an inspiration and blessing to us all! I can't wait to see your next project- and while I get a little impatient between them, it's always worth the wait!
I some how missed this posting, glad I decided to stop by your channel and found it. Its been wonderful watching you build the pole barn and I'm inspired to give it a whirl after we build the house on our new little slice of heaven in Maine.
Man I just love watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Your videos are very unique and very much fun to watch, I am enjoying them greatly, thank you for creating them and sharing!!
Wondering when I would see more of these. Great series. Keep them coming.
This is better by far than anything a person could watch on TV . I have been anxiously waiting for your new pole barn episode. . Love what you do on here thanks for sharing with us .
Absolutely fantastic video. I've been waiting for this one for awhile and you nailed it by including so many things.
Watching this video brought up so many memories of both my father (who was handy with everything) and my maternal grandfather (who had an old workshop filled with tools and snakes back in the 70's). Both have long since passed away but the lessons they instilled in me haven't.
Thanks for taking your time to give us a vision of your handiwork.
Shon McEachin So glad you enjoyed the show, Shon.Memories of grandpas kind of live forever, don't they?
That was extremely enjoyable, and I believe it improved my reading skills ;) man I could see myself sitting with my pup in front of that wood stove surrounded by my favorite tools dreaming up new projects and as soon as I'm done with "her" list I'll get right on them !!! Thank you ~
Yes, it's always advisable to take care of "her" first.
(Until her list is completed, your list won't be much fun.)
My best to you, Daniel!
Very nice. Have enjoyed your whole series of videos. You must have done this professionally to be able to produce such high quality. Keep 'em coming! Thanks for all the effort. It's definitely worth it.
Your talent, and down home knowledge makes us out here really think deeper between the lines about the work you put out. Truly inspires us all to do a little more, with a little less and watch that become more than ever imagined.
Thank you for all the long hours, days and more you spend to get this out. Much appreciated Pa Mac. God Bless you & your Family.
Thank you for sharing this! It is a beautiful work shop!
As a mountain boy, I love watching your videos on days when I can't get out to work on our land. You're making me want to march down to the county office and get a permit for building some sort of outbuilding right now! (yeah, silly permit grumble grumble...)
I can only build so many sawhorses and cut so much firewood before I need to get building a building, you know?
Keep up the good work, and I hope you're staying nice and warm this winter by your stove.
That's why I bought forested land. You don't need a permit if nobody knows what you're doing 🤷♂️
Always worth the wait! Thanks for another excellent video!
You and your vidios are very inspirational, Thank you very much for taking the time to make them.
I appreciate that, Shaun; thanks for watchin'!
You are truly have amazing craftsmanship. I am amazed an inspired by your work to do more on my future homestead. This is amazing.
I love the way you make things , and make them work too. I try to build my projects simple , as much wood as possible. I've even made wooden hinges, and latches. Thank you for sharing with us. I'll be looking forward to Future videos.
I appreciate you watchin', Stacy
You are my role model, sir. I thoroughly enjoyed all six parts to this. Your presentation is funny and detailed. My first TH-cam comment.. I actually just created an account to let you know I truly admire you😀
Well, what an honor, Andrew.
Thank you for watchin' and creatin' an account!
Absolutely love your videos. I watched the entire Pole Barn series and I cannot wait to see more. I plan to build a Pole lean to against my garage for my tractor-- and if it goes well eventually build a full pole barn inspired by yours. Great craftsmanship and truly entertaining videos and editing.. Love it all- thank you
+HomeSteadHow
My best to you on your upcoming project, HomeSteadHow!
the right amount of info and laughter thank you
I cannot express to you how much that I enjoy your videos. Thank you for sharing.
absolutely amazing video....your "yes you can do this" type videos are very inspirational. ty for putting these together....and you have a way of making them fun to watch too
Pa Mac, I watched with tears in my eyes. The moments I spend watching this show are like time spent with you and your Pa Mac. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said you play a large role in my life. Helping me recall the importance of self-sufficiency, motivation, perseverance, resourcefulness, knowledge, and a good grasp of history most every time I pick up a tool or reach a seemingly dead end. I thank you for compiling your experience into these videos for us. It's an absolute joy.
Lolita's Garden Thanks so much, Lolo Fe (and dear parents)!I appreciate yall so much. Keep your camera rolling.
