    I think Jim was in a great mood, for take your kid to work day. Sun was out, daughter was along, Brenda packed a nice lunch, sled was working great. Who won’t be acting 20 ish again.

    Love the teasing and humor shared in this video! Who says you can't work and have a bit of fun while you accomplish your goals? I also loved the camera angle from in front of the horses while Jim loaded the sled and used the chainsaw, because I enjoy seeing the horses' soft eyes and their ears shifting back and forth like antennae . Great video perspective work as always from Brenda that makes us feel as if we're there.

    HA HAHA Jim is feeling like a bit of banter in this edition. Great to see you all together. I must say I do like the way the sleds are coupled together. Looks to me like Bill and Ken are getting along well.

    ........Hello to Jim, Brenda, and Abby from Australia.
    What a fun video, and the performance of the new sled was MOST impressive. I am looking forward to the "drone in the woods" video contribution from Abby soon.

    Another great video Jim Brenda and Abby, glad the mods to the sled worked out ok. and as far as Engles Coach and Dave I have been watching him for years now. small world isn't it. guess YT makes that possible. go watch his video's on making the Borax Wagons. I'm sure Jim and Brenda will remember the old TV program Death Valley Days. depicting 20 mule team Borax wagons, well Dave built two new ones and the water Trailer to go along with them and they are now in the original place for permanant use and display. parades etc. Thanks for sharing ECF

    Jim, I live not too far south of the big woods of Mn&WI.There many stores about old days when logging started for the first time.There were many stories about a big man and the animal that helped him cut and skid many many logs in a day .Paul Bunyan and Babe would would be proud of how you work in the woods!! Stay safe with those big logs. Thanks 😊.

  • @rickcline2762

    I never miss a video from Engle's Coach Shop. Dave Engle is an incredible craftsman . He has built huge wagons from scratch and repaired coaches that are over one hundred years old that are true basket cases. I highly recommend his channel, along with yours.

    @tracyjohnson2992 ปีที่แล้ว

    Its good to see you guys working together, its never a dull moment with you. Great job unloading those logs by hand Jim. I have a saying for you to use when someone challenges you to unload by hand "Challenge accepted" thats what my Daughter says to me on if something is going to be a bit of a challenge for her. LOL Such a great family Keep up the great work. Your doing a great job! Good to see you too Abby.

  • @thirzapeevey2395
    @thirzapeevey2395 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm glad Dave was able to help you with the bobsled. He is amazing at what he does. I always wanted a bobsled. Sleighs are so easy to turn over (trust me, I've done it) and can be disastrous when you do it (the one I overturned came back in baskets), but bobsleds are supposed to be much more stable. I know this wasn't your ideal team for the winter, but I think being forced to make it work is improving both horses. Bill is finally learning to relax, and Kenny is learning to pick up the pace a little. Aren't you glad you don't have to load the sled with a peavy and ramps?

  • @garyarmstrong4597

  • @tylerwells9953
    @tylerwells9953 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always love to hear the chains on the sleds, takes me back to when I was a kid . I’d be waiting on the landing for dad to come back from unloading, it was always so silent and crisp in the mornings. When I could hear the chains , I knew He was really close to returning. Not like today when you can hear the engine running at all times and the smell of exhaust. The only sounds and smells back then both came out of the back of a horse😂

  • @kirbygulbrandsen4507
    @kirbygulbrandsen4507 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always enjoy you and Brenda’s videos. I actually thought the sled was working quite well in the last video ( shows you how much I know). I love the horses and as a city slicker I’ve learned a lot ( knowledge never to be used) but a person never knows too much. Even though it’s called, “ Working Horses With Jim” I always enjoy your sawing of wood. So please fit another sawmill video into the mix when you feel it’s appropriate. As you know, always watching from Panama City Florida, USA. 🇺🇸 No Snow Just Breeze ! 🌴

    I just watched this 19 Feb 24 . Noticed I did not comment before. I especially wanted to see how the improvements Sam did on the new bobsled using the (old) new tongue devices, not sure what they're called. Anyway Sam has the reach hooked into the front bunk much better now. would like to see that improvement on a similar turn that you make in this video. Nice work All!

    Hey Jim and Brenda, great video as always, thanks for sharing. You mentioned that you comunicated with Dave Engels, He runs his coach shop in Joliet, Montana. I subscibed his channel over 3 years ago since he has rebuild a set of huge borax wagons. Dave knows everything about any types of horse drawn coaches.

    @jawnTem ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Did anyone notice the horses ears pointing back toward Jim waiting for his voice command when he was messing with the cart? I suspect, (don't know for sure) that the reason the cart sticks to the ground is when its moving, the runners heat up from friction, melt to the ground, and then freeze.

  • @RaymondWKing-dn8wf

    The Sled is a good Idea, looks like you're moving more timber easer on your Team and you, Dave Engels Coach Shop is in Joulat Montana and His Brother-in-law Rick lives nearby and does Horse Drawn Carriage Lamp restoration and make fantastic Carrargh Lamps at the Luminary Shop, lots of fun watching TH-cam Videos from both..

    Jim take a chain welder flat plate with a hole drill out for your steel rod . Them cross your chain like a X HOOK up behind your front bundle. Like a choke chain hook up on your chain . It’s fast and easy to under hook or length out the back bundle for different length of logs Jim .
