About Me.
In 2018 I decided to stop working for someone else full time and pursue my dream of building my log home and starting a small farm in the Ozark mountains. It's a dream that I have had and have been working towards for over 20 years, and due to life changes and unexpected events, I decided to make a leap of faith. This journey will not be without its challenges and setbacks, but I will continue to push forward each and every day to make this dream a reality. I try to upload videos 3 days a week but working mostly alone I am always pressed for time.

Nice!❤❤👩👧👧👩👧👧🤠
Brilliant. Not only does your new employer have a new employee who enjoys his job, but his clients will be blessed with someone who is methodical and knows what to do.
I am glad to see that you will still post a video now and again. I enjoy watching your progress. Good luck on the new job.
Glad to see you back!
Being a carpenter, no one uses the gaurd on a table saw. It gets in the way and is actually more dangerous. It's the only safety device I don't use. You are doing a great job.
Good to see you again. You've been missed. The kitchen looks amazing. Congratulations on your new adventure.
I like it! Will he let you educate us all about water wells?
Nice to see you back...everything is looking awesome 👌 👏 👍
wondered where you went buddy, I'm still in a wheelchair. Can't wait to see what's going on in your life. Aloha !!!!!!!!
Geez! Hope you have better luck with this job! Last one you ended up freezing, Covid, gall bladder removal, weight loss, etc,, I wish you luck 😄😄
Love the idea of slides on the lower cabinets! Thank you
You are making great progress. Looking very nice. I know you have a good routine with the milling and sawing. Just be careful.👍👍
Anytime you want to livestream critters, I'm game and would watch. 🐐🐐 Love the pull out idea for the lower kitchen cabinets. Very functional!!
Well actually I thought you being extra careful using push sticks to shove the wood through the saw. I can see having a guard over the blade but your doing fine.your not getting in a hurry while doing it so your doing fine.
Nice to hear that great job opertunity pop up for you too.
I'm sure the money flies out the door pretty quick when buying lumber and everything you've been buying for the cabin build. So now you can replace lots of it.
And of coarse April has been working all along so that definitely helps too.
Brilliant idea on the pullout draws.
That's the way they all should be in every home but the cost is quite a bit more I'm sure.
Good luck on your new job.
...good luck in your new adventure, keep safe and enjoy...
I am glad that you found another outlet for your creativity. You are doing something you like that is important and getting paid to boot. If it takes a little longer to get the house wrapped up so be it. Hopefully you have a many good years to put whatever finishing touches on the house.
That’s great news on the job!
I liked the idea of having the door pullouts from the cabinets. Thats a great idea!
Stephen it be awesome once you're comfortable with the new job, to see the well drilling process . I'm sure that would be interesting to view. You've got the Lemons ( new job) make a Lil lemonade
My wood shop in high school had no table guards on the saws :) If you can't pay attention, you shouldn't be using one. I never use guards of any kind, they get in the way.
More power to you sir. Make that money and have fun doing it! God bless you!
Thank you
Good luck with your job and your house is coming along wonderful nice to see you
A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do!😅
The job sounds like the perfect fit for you. Love how the kitchen is looking! It's going to be beautiful when it's done. The baby goats are adorable. Your turkey shelter is similar to Jeff's at Bobblehead. Simple yet very efficient.
Glad to see you back on here and congrats on your new job
😊👍👍👍It's nice to see you again.
Mate great news congratulations
Thank you
Your table saw work is just fine, pay attention to what you doing is right way to stay safe. On another note, you have a unique way of showing how you do things and you explain it well, that said, if you focused on TH-cam, you could make a very nice living. Do what you need to, but I thought your focus was on building the homestead. Put it out and I will still watch, want to see this home done. Thx
Wow Stephen the cabinets look beautiful! 😍😍😍😍
Great to have you back as we enjoy your meticulous work. Now that you have gone into the well drilling career, don't leave all your thousands of friends hanging out there. Post from time to time to keep us updated on your farm/homestead. We wish you well.
Nice to see you back. Your precise craftsmanship is a pleasure to watch.
This was a good video. You got us caught up with your building and critters. The Goats are lovers. I'm willing to check out the 24/7 cam. Should be easy enough to bookmark it into a Cam's folder.
I have never thought it wise to take a job that isn't enjoyable. You sound enthusiastic to learn drilling. Talk about it once in a while.
I really am and I will probably shoot some videos while I’m drilling as well.
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 Great idea.
A livestream camera would be fun! Kitchen is looking great.
Sustainable living is work! Nothing easy to keep up with. Good that you got a job close by! Hope you and the girls still get moved in by x-mas! 🐐 🎅
Love your router table . Good luck on your new job
A live feed camera sounds awesome, I love tuning into those👍🏻
Being an avid woodworker myself, I don't see anything wrong with your safety routine. I have the same Delta saw- a real workhorse. Push sticks, eye protection, outfeed table, good lighting and ventilation. No issues. Maybe some earmuffs depending on acoustics.
PS: Great set-up, precision and fit on your router work.
Ya happy to see you back
So good to get see you this morning. I always look forward to see what you are working on and also for a view of your beautiful property.
Good to see your having fun
You’re very creative - I love your work!
Good to see you Stephen. Loving the kitchen cabinet`s they are coming together nicely. Congratulations on the job, cool of the guy to think of you. The baby Goats are cute and the Turkeys are growing. Say hello to April and the Girls. Have fun!
So good to see you again, and nice to learn something new. Good for you. At least you are closer to home and your family. Love watching you work! You are so safe and you do all your cutting at once. You are so clever, impressive. Beautiful work. You are a perfectionist. The drawers are going to be so nice. Like you I hate crawling around cabinets to get to things. Love the goats are so cute. Oh I would love to see the goats 24/7. I love watching animals.
Your not the type to retire young congratulations 🎉 on your new job 👍
The cabin is coming together 🧡how it looks.
Cabinets are looking incredible. I just recently found your channel so I have been catching up. The quality of of construction around your place is awesome.
Thank you so much
I am missing seeing you on your channel and hope you can post an update on the cabin soon
Glad to see you back
The drilling job sounds like a good fit for your previous experiences and attention to detail. Have fun with it! The cabinet pullouts are so practical! The cabinets are looking good!!!
Nice progress on the kitchen
cabinets look nice
Thank you
Dam you are a man of many talents. who cares what some people say I would bet that they have no idea how to do anything they just want to always be right about nothing. Lol PS glad you are still doing the TH-cam thing I want to see this house lived in.
Congrats on the new job ph. Lol. And thanks for the update ! Take care Stephen
Love the look of your kitchen & the pull-out lower cabinets! Congrats on the new job. Glad the extra money during a home build and holiday season landed in your lap. Thanks for taking the time to film & edit a video update for us! Hope you & April have a terrific week.🙂
👍🏻👍🏻❤️great opportunity! Glad you are enjoying it and able to help do a good service for people.
good on ya mate
Love the pull outs !
You can express and opinion and someone on the internet will argue with you until they are blue in the face. But you lay all your cards on the table and deal with it. You live your life the way that you see fit and if the rest of the world doesn't agree then that is just tough. I quit trying to explain my position long time ago. On the rare occasion when I do go beyond a simple explanation I will usually use another resource to support my position.
Good to see you back at it ! Congratulations on the job ( have in fun ) and hope y’all is well with you and the family.
Cabinets look Awesome~!
Hi fantastic to see the kitchen coming together and congratulations on the new job that is fantastic love your videos keep up the good work Cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia from the big island
when I was an apprentice in a machine shop that's the first thing taught, no loose clothes, no ties, keep you hands, arms, fingers away from moving parts and safety first, above all. Spent 2 years on a number of machines and was never hurt.
it was such a pleasure to see you with the baby goats... you were enjoying it and so were they!!! Loved it! Thank you for sharing these sweet moments, makes a balance between the hard working, always thinking, go-and-do-it man that we know!
I really am enjoying them. Sometimes I go out in the middle of the night and sit with a lap full of goats. Lol
that is such great news!!! just do not over do it... and i am sure you will have great great success. Happy that you have got this to enjoy and have fun, there are not too many people that can say that their jobs is fun and like a hobby, so good for you, you more than deserve it.
Thank you
I get distracted sometimes don't watch as many videos as I once did,been with you since you went to Jeff's when they brought in his shed to house.You do amazing work sir..
Thank you
I enjoyed the video. The cabinets look very good. It sounds like you have a great job with the well drilling. I really like the turkey hut.
Good on you dude ,never to old to learn a new trade ..all the best in your new pursuit 💪
Your precise craftsmanship and it is pleasure to watch you make cabinets , Nice to see you back and was curios to know the module of the Router table and was wondering it has table saw , appreciate if you can share the module of the router table
Would be nice to see how it looks now
Did you quit the utube info ?
Goood Morning HRH !
Brother If you’re Happy with the job I’m happy for ya. 😁
Does this mean the channel content will suffer and the finishing of the cabin is gonna be significantly delayed ? Because I know those water drilling rigs sometimes are pulling 12+ hour days.
Just won’t be much time left over for filming a video when a man comes home worn out.
I like your router table. Can you tell me what brand it is? Any info on it. Keep up the good work.
It is an old Ryobi BT3000. It is a table saw router table combo and you can find them in garage sales fairly cheap, usually for $100 or less
I don't need 24/7 goats.. I've got windows to my own if I want to watch.. I'm sure somebody would like it but I live the homestead life
Yes to goats 24 7
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
yo steve, any progress on cabin/house? been at minute
any new updates
