Hi Chris, love watching your videos! It would be great if you could name the related videos as parts or at least leave the next and previous video of you working on a particular project as links in the description. It would enhance the viewing experience if viewers have some continuity or if they know which video to watch before or after a particular video.
Earth sculptor at work. I love watching you reshape and mold the land. You must feel so fulfilled at the end of each day you get to do these kind of jobs.
You definitely feel like you have invested time in his projects. I should add a multitude of tasks to my resume. I have watched at least a hundred videos by now. I qualify as expert in some tasks. 🤔
Watching the way you sculpt the Creek channel, meandering into the pond shows what a landscaping artist you are with that huge machine. A beautiful talent and skill, well done! Watching you work to create a beautiful landscape is truly satisfying. Thank you for bringing us along!
For the same reason I do. Watching someone doing something they're good at, and have a passion for. It's why a lot of channels like this exist, whether it be unclogging drains, excavation, restoring tools, building things or what have you. We get to share in an experience of a trade or activity we wouldn't otherwise do.
Not sure if you’ve ever gotten this or not but I legitimately use your videos to sleep, something about the way you work the numbers on whatever your working with is so satisfying and it’s as if you do everything the exact way I’d see myself doing it
That 4 inch pipe definitely isn't big enough for that pond. I bet it's ran full pipe the whole time. Your ability to see the end result is fantastic. Most do what they can. You do what you plan.
Very interesting pond reconstruction on this one, a whole lot more to it that at the beginning of the video, but as usual it will be gorgeous in the end...
Yeah! A new video and a new pond that now needs a lot of love and a professional to get pretty again! Of course, no one else can do that as well as you Chris. 🤭 Good night everybody! 😴😉
I've seen people on a construction site almost get hit by the counter weight as the Operator turned. I was the Bank Man on a pipe crew in Florida. Put in underground utilities on Sand Lake Blvd. Where Universal Studios are now. I still like watching this. We are working on the old pond on our place. It was full of Black Willow trees. The Dike was leaking, going to fix that. It had Water lilies in it. My Stepfather didn't know what to do about it. We are going to remove the dirt that contains them. We aren't going to use any type of herbicide. We plan to restock with fish in the spring. Love watching dirt work. GOD bless
👍👍👍On the one hand you are removing complete islands, on the other you put your attention to so many small details like grading these little creeks. That's impressive, thanks for sharing this with us, Chris.
What a difference in before and now,will make a beautiful backdrop for this new homestead.you do not disappoint in your work ethic.great video 👍👍👍😎😎😎 can’t wait to see finished.
Fantastic work. Wish I had the funds to get my pond & wooded area cleaned & cleared behind my home, I know it could be much more usable; functional and attractive- But I know it would cost a pretty penny. Maybe one day.🤞
It is one thing cleaning up the pond. But Chris you look beyond. The creek look great and after it greens up, it will be top notch. Its not Friday so it can't be fire day. 👍🇺🇲💪
Lots of work To get done Tho.the pond looks a Lot bigger now due To the Island being removed. Nice quiet spot To Go for a stroll or just To sit and rest. Nice job Chris.
I'm a new subscriber and I love your work ethic! I would like to suggest an idea that will help myself and others track project videos better. Would you consider making your video titles reference the particular project with a part 1, part 2, and so on. Thank you for your consideration and I really appreciate your work!
That thumb set-up is awesome ,over here in the UK they are not very common. I had to persuade my boss to get one fitted ,best £1,000 he's spent in my option in a long while .
I wish I had got to operate that kind of heavy equipment and do dirt work , I’m retired aircraft mechanic. Your an artist lol great job . NAVY VET IN TEXAS
You know I live here in Massachusetts I’m always amazed how much water work you do building ponds and or digging out islands like you did in this video I’d be like an act of Congress up here lots of money Great job as always be safe out there
With all of the trees you have taken down in the performance of a job, Have you ever had anyone or group show up to protest the destruction of trees? Several years ago TXDOT was clearing old growth stand of trees. A long swath of trees. A group out of Dallas showed up to protest the tree removal. Well they didn't like to listen to reason and after the local new station brought archived news footage of the destruction from flooding due to the trees falling into the creek and damming it. The 30' creek, 30' wide would overflow and make a rather nice size natural lake. It covered the highway several times also. The media filmed the protesters as they sulked away from their faux Pas. There was a 5 mile stretch of creek that had to be cleared in and around it.
Gonna be a major difference!! Looks great so far. Cant wait to see the driving range work if you decide to TRY to fix that mess. Love that baby calves they are so cute! Momma gonna get ya tho lol
We had one here in Missouri where they opened up a cave system and the whole lake disappeared into the cave! And it was one of the selling points for the subdivision. Not sure how they eventually solved it as the news lost interest before the engineers found a solution. That is why I kind of worry when Chris plays near springs. Could be a bottomless hole right below him but I guess the ground is a lot different down there.
You’ve removed so much old mud and silt in all of these ponds it’s crazy! I don’t think your clients appreciate the super high quality work you do!! I do the same thing! I always strive for quality in all of my work as well!

An artist with a grading bucket and mud as his medium. Very nice.
good job.. ive been a construction inspector for 35 years and your one of the best operators ive seen
Earth sculptor at work. I love watching you reshape and mold the land. You must feel so fulfilled at the end of each day you get to do these kind of jobs.
Im going to add pond maintenance to my resume. I feel like we did it together.
You definitely feel like you have invested time in his projects. I should add a multitude of tasks to my resume. I have watched at least a hundred videos by now. I qualify as expert in some tasks. 🤔
I know right😄 I may be the first woman to graduate from the video
Looking nice!
Lmao!
Good, skillful work, with just the right amount of quiet commentary. Thank you.
You sir are the Bob Ross of the backhoe! This looks like it would be an enjoyable career, shaping the earth. Great job!
Some artists work in oils, others work in watercolors, but the best work in Mud! It's a pleasure watching you paint in 3D!

Chris your work is amazing, in no time the island was history, the channel is clear and looking good. Thanks for sharing. Kevin
I would really like to see this pond in one year!
Me to ..
Same
Yes!
Yes a follow-up video please 🙏
Yea today-old subscriber here, ill be watching for an update on these types of projects he does
Can someone explain to me why I sit and watch an hour of someone else working, after I spend all week working.....mmmmm.
Because this fine young man is doing a most satisfying job. This pond maybe the nicest one Chris ever did. Not the biggest but so nice surroundings.
For the same reason I do. Watching someone doing something they're good at, and have a passion for. It's why a lot of channels like this exist, whether it be unclogging drains, excavation, restoring tools, building things or what have you.

I find it relaxing watching other people work.
😂
I enjoyed this video, thank you for sharing
Your skills in adjusting what you do and assessing and planning your work is nothing short of amazing . Thank you for sharing yr skills
Not sure if you’ve ever gotten this or not but I legitimately use your videos to sleep, something about the way you work the numbers on whatever your working with is so satisfying and it’s as if you do everything the exact way I’d see myself doing it
More than a pond, it looks like a nasty marsh lol...can't wait to see the finished product🤗
That 4 inch pipe definitely isn't big enough for that pond. I bet it's ran full pipe the whole time. Your ability to see the end result is fantastic. Most do what they can. You do what you plan.
Now your on the island. You need one of those umbrella drinks lol
LOL - I got in a little deeper than anticipated. A life's motto. :-)
12:23
I need a little more mud from somewhere..... Pretty sure I got plenty of it right here.
You, sir, are an artist!
Yeah Chris paints his work using mud.
Very interesting pond reconstruction on this one, a whole lot more to it that at the beginning of the video, but as usual it will be gorgeous in the end...
Yeah! A new video and a new pond that now needs a lot of love and a professional to get pretty again! Of course, no one else can do that as well as you Chris. 🤭
Good night everybody! 😴😉
Nite
I would like to sincerely thank you Chris for the therapeutic videos watching you run your machines like a master totally relaxes me be safe
I was watching a boring treatise on ancient Egypt and I saw the notification, thank you for your videos, hugs.
In the last few frames the reflection on the water is so calming! Absolutely gorgeous!
The Jedi Pond Master @ work........Bloody Well Done Chris.....
Awesome job Chris can't wait to see the finish product.

The pier to the island, must have been a nice walk and place to visit at one time. Camping on tha Island, too.
I would have kept the island, sounds cozy, imagine a little fireplace there
Hi all from North Wales in the UK
Hi From Jutland Denmark

@@juliesnook6998 OMG. So hope your recovering well. Been a terrible year for so many people including myself.
...always playin' in the mud..lol...good one, stay safe...
The Spring feeds the Pond but it is Obviously feeding that “Ginormous” Oak Tree 1st.😬 WOW! 👍
This man is an artist!!!
Fantastic job letsdig18
"oh dont splatter me" should be on a Tshirt
Just what are you splatter with?
😳💩
Thats a base for lots of "what she said" jokes
Weird how relaxing these videos are to watch, I cant get enough!
The creek clean up looks amazing, love seeing these resurrection jobs...
I have a pond about that size with the same messed up island.this vid really helped me. thanks 18.
Lovely results. Bet they much happier. A super water well too. Lovely video.
You're good, really good!!
Very good work Chris. I enjoy watching you work.
Chris, I’m very impressed with how fast you are getting the hang of the AMI grading bucket.
I think when they mentioned Mother Load, they were referring to the Amount your Scoop Moves.👍
I watched all your vids putting in an overflow drain brilliant. Thank you
So who want's to see if Chris can float a concrete slab, with the volvo?
Always entertaining especially the ponds🥰👍
Thanks for the video .
Wow another adventure young man Thank you🤙🏽🌺🍍🌴
Hello there, thanks for a wonderful video I really enjoy watching them!
Natural springs are cool for someone who doesn't deal with them constantly ;) Good video man.
Really looks good, great job.
Enjoyed watching your video Tim hope you are having a great weekend
A spring fed pond is a wonderful thing to have. Especially if it flows year around.
Looking great Chris! Can’t wait to see the next video
Fantastic work.
Wish I had the funds to get my pond & wooded area cleaned & cleared behind my home,
I know it could be much more usable; functional and attractive-
But I know it would cost a pretty penny.
Maybe one day.🤞
Absolutely incredible! You wear that excavator like a second shirt and the boom is your third arm and hand. Amazing dexterity. I loved it!
Coming along very nice !
It is one thing cleaning up the pond. But Chris you look beyond.
The creek look great and after it greens up, it will be top notch.
Its not Friday so it can't be fire day. 👍🇺🇲💪
It is amazing how much an experienced operator can accomplish with one of these machines in a couple of days!
Lots of work To get done Tho.the pond looks a Lot bigger now due To the Island being removed. Nice quiet spot To Go for a stroll or just To sit and rest. Nice job Chris.
I'm a new subscriber and I love your work ethic! I would like to suggest an idea that will help myself and others track project videos better. Would you consider making your video titles reference the particular project with a part 1, part 2, and so on. Thank you for your consideration and I really appreciate your work!
always impressed with the work you do.👍👍👍
Have you tried using the pedal to tilt the bucket?
With the pedal, tilt the bucket more smoothly👌
Thank you, I was looking for progress
That's one hell of an eviction notice there young man.
Great video's, encapsulating
Love to see someone who works on my free day lol
Power trowel for mud,I'm impressed!
Lol.
Great video Chris and u made it look nice so far.
That thumb set-up is awesome ,over here in the UK they are not very common. I had to persuade my boss to get one fitted ,best £1,000 he's spent in my option in a long while .
I think you should get you a gold pan and do a little panning in the stream near those springs, you maybe surprised what you may find.
You're an artist. Great job.
You make quick work of that. Nice handling of the machine.
I wish I had got to operate that kind of heavy equipment and do dirt work , I’m retired aircraft mechanic.
Your an artist lol great job . NAVY VET IN TEXAS
Looking good so far 👍
I was on a farm in Minnesota where they grated out all the sludge and dug down the hole for the spring and then back filled it all with 3” clean.
NICE JOB CHRIS. WELL DONE LIKE ALWAYS. SALUDOS. FROM CLIFTON N.J.
You’re an artist with that thing! TH-cam has decided this is somehow relevant to me lol but it’s interesting for sure!
If you're watching it, the algorithm wasn't wrong.
Really like watching your videos thanks for them
You do the best videos. Great job
You know I live here in Massachusetts I’m always amazed how much water work you do building ponds and or digging out islands like you did in this video I’d be like an act of Congress up here lots of money
Great job as always be safe out there
Great watching you ,like an artist with a .....grading bucket!
Looking good. Can’t wait to see it when it’s done. Hopefully it’s not too far from your house and you can get a video/ drone when it’s full.
With all of the trees you have taken down in the performance of a job, Have you ever had anyone or group show up to protest the destruction of trees?
Several years ago TXDOT was clearing old growth stand of trees. A long swath of trees. A group out of Dallas showed up to protest the tree removal.

Looking good bro that tilting bucket is worth it's weight in gold.
it's fascinating watching him use the bucket like a hand , He's very good at this
I always heard stay in the water as much as possible. The water cleans the treads off which allows for better traction. This includes tires.
WOW CHRIS you are doing a nice job with that bucket
I TOTALLY ENJOYED WATCHING THE VIDEO CHRIS 😊
Always in mud doing what you do best continue to stay safe happy holidays to you and your family
Gonna be a major difference!! Looks great so far. Cant wait to see the driving range work if you decide to TRY to fix that mess. Love that baby calves they are so cute! Momma gonna get ya tho lol
Man that machine sounds like a beast when you are in the cab....👍
Wow! What a difference removing the island made to the view. Much bigger looking now.
I your years of clearing out ponds, etc., have you ever "created" or brought to the surface a new spring?
We had one here in Missouri where they opened up a cave system and the whole lake disappeared into the cave! And it was one of the selling points for the subdivision. Not sure how they eventually solved it as the news lost interest before the engineers found a solution. That is why I kind of worry when Chris plays near springs. Could be a bottomless hole right below him but I guess the ground is a lot different down there.
A lot skill needed to make that creek flow properly, it should look really nice when you're finished 👌 👍
You’ve removed so much old mud and silt in all of these ponds it’s crazy! I don’t think your clients appreciate the super high quality work you do!! I do the same thing! I always strive for quality in all of my work as well!
TIL buckets can have additional useable axes of rotation!
What J Goody said!!!
But I'm still watchin.😂
It is looking much cleaner already.
