    While this video may be nearly 2 years old by now, it has reminded me of the passions I once had of my hobbies - working with my hands on cars, motorcycles, electronics. Anything I decided need to be done I did on my own, and as I've grown older, recessed into a pit of self-pity, paying others to do the work instead.
    You've reminded me that yes, I can do these things, and they are greatly satisfying. Applying yourself, having that mental fortitude - it never goes away. You just need to utilize it.

    My dad, who is a retired carpenter, and is incredibly talented, does this a lot. We have an allotment and to date he's made 2 sheds, a greenhouse and 3 cold frames out of reclaimed timber. You're not kidding when you say the quality is better than what you get these days. The shed he made looks like something you would buy out of a hardware store, and while he was making it he ended up rejecting a LOT of reclaimed timber because it wasn't hardwood. It's amazing what you can find lying about if you know what you're looking for.
    He's a bit doddery on his legs these days, so he moved it all with his bike. We still have one shed packed full of reclaimed hardwood. Probably thousands worth, just found lying about. It's awesome to see other people doing stuff like this too!

      the real trick is just keeping your eye out for that next channel that adds something positive into your life. Its too easy to get wrapped up in the giant heap of bad news coming from all directions. I took someones advice on this years ago and its helped me mentally feel better having hundreds of channels I've found over several years. some of the best stuff comes from topics I've never had any interest in. From physics to hobo's riding trains. The next trick is keep on pumping positive comments into all this. Just flat out avoid the muppets and TH-cam for me is an amazing place. Truly nothing compares to it in media.

    After watching your Retracing the Line video, I decided to start my own lockdown challenge with my Dad. In Illinois, we have a old railroad line that was converted into a trail called the Great Western Trail near our home. We decided to bike along it and it was incredible to see the old railway platforms and tracks hidden in parts of the forest that we hadn’t explored before. We biked 230 miles over the course of a month. I just wanted to say thanks for inspiring a journey that has added so much joy to my life. It is neat that on the other side of the world, there is another rundown railroad that that gives me the same opportunity for adventure that you had!

    This man reminds me of my grandfather's stories of when he was young and building a cottage.
    My grandfather was a great man by the way.

    This man is a rare cross between someone who can make an amazing video, while at the same time being one of this worlds truest craftsman.

    I watched my dad do projects like this, and work outdoors most of his life, and the body strength and resiliance is remarkable. People in cities, working in offices, etc, just don't have the spinal strength and stamina like Mr. Miles has.

    This will be so great for not only your wife to watch back but your daughter when she’s older. I hope you’ve filmed Helen’s reaction-Im new to the channel; yet highly invested.
