That guy has more knowledge than 10 guys in their 20’s know!
Make it a thousand.
He didnt have all that knowledge when he was in his 20s.
But thats not the point youre making.
Too bad this Canada is long gone
The idea of owning acres of land that paid for and free time to collect priceless artifacts is all but a dream in the new Canada.
@muira58 Lolol this Canada definitely l still exists, you just have to know where to find it. Just cus a tree fell in the forest and you didn’t see it, doesn’t mean that mf tree didn’t fall. Same goes for operations like this one.
Totally agree, I’m embarrassed to be Canadian now. Hope alberta separates.
In many ways this Canada is gone, first it became unaffordable, then unattainable, and then unknown to the majority. After all that happened it was easier to regulate into obscurity, however there are still remnants of it out there hanging on.
@@dryrockstudios3231 I agree, Canadas a shithole now…… thanks to people not voting. Open borders.
6v to 12v.....blasphemy !!!
Building a saw mill out of car parts.....genius !!!
Right! on both counts!
damned kids and they 12v cars!!!
Right?!
It wasn't ment to run that way .
Radial tires are just a fad!
I put in 47 Years myself on our Antique Club's Sawmill, 25 years as the off-bearer working with my Dad and the guy that took over when He moved away, and then 22 years as the Sawyer when that guy died unexpectedly.
Seriously Thinking of Buying a Mill of My Own, just because I'm Not Ready to be Done with it Yet and still want to shoot a few more videos.
Very cool!
A man after my own heart.
Awesome!
A reminder of simpler times.
Bud was an amazing man.
That he was.
My cousin just sold a very similar sawmill set up that was at a property he purchased. Cool to watch it run Thank you for sharing
You are very welcome.
Drove past Bud s place many a year,always wundered about what went on there,what a neat place he had. Reminds me of my Grandpa s place,God rest both there soul s in Peace, till we meet up yonder.
Thanks for such a kind comment Mike. You really should have stopped in for a visit had you known you could have. He would have enjoyed it, as would you have.
A man's man. They sure don't make them like him anymore. Your dad was amazing. I would have loved sitting with him and enjoying his company What became of all those old cars Rob?
Yes he was a man's man, something we don't see much of anymore. You really would have enjoyed sitting and chatting with him, and he with you. When you come for a visit I will show you what happened to everything!
@@dryrockstudios3231 That's a deal.
I never had much luck with a six volt system.
They work just fine properly maintained and being used for their intended purpose.
Great of the old days they’re long gone💯😎
Sadly they are, but it is up to us to try to restore those days.
@@dryrockstudios3231 to the ones who wanted to learn it😎💯
THANK YOU!
You're welcome!
The ladder side Fordson is real early model... nice collection there.
1918 is the year of that particular Fordson.
I read through all the comments and all i can say is good for you Bob i can tell you really loved your dad by trying to save everything that was important to him i just had a close friend that was very much like your Dad killed at only 32 years old. Wish we had more people like this in the world 🌎
Thanks so much. That means a lot!
we need more people like your dad these days
Yes we do!
I bet it was all sold for scrap metal by some boomer generation relative.
Nope, preserved by his son, the guy who posted this video.
Almost! Had the rest of my family had their way that is exactly what would have happened. I was able to save most of the things he had collected as well as the things that we had collected together, but in so doing I lost my family (and spent a lot of money). It was actually a good bargain as I was able to save what was real.
@@dryrockstudios3231 That's one of the happiest endings i've ever heard. My great grandfather had a belt driven shop.That was lost when my mother sold his ranch for pennies.
My mother did not sell out for pennies, but that is a common story. Instead she revealed her true self and her greed and jealousy took control, and that of her daughter's as well.
I've done my best to honour my Dad's values and way of life but it was at great cost, still I know I did the right thing and am proud of that.
@@dryrockstudios3231 You surely did and you surely should be proud.
My grampa, Norm Palmer was a good friend of Bud. Grampa fixed the cars in town after the war
Well that is very cool! I read that he worked for Chuck Beath Motors. I bet you have some good stories of those times.
I’m with ya
I respect this man, I hope he has a son and grandson that has the same interests and values
I have been doing my best to honour him. Unfortunately I don't know where it goes from here.
what happened to all of buds collection
a true pioneer and a man that I would have loved to talk to god bless him
I have been able to preserve most of his collection.
@dryrockstudios3231 yeah thats great I trip across buds videos a long time ago great man I can say I guilty iv got the old iron bug just like bud thanks for sharing
Your dad seems like my kinda guy. I'm 42 but have many the same desires. I kept scrolling until I found exactly what you just said about preserving his collection. I live in Ontario but have been through Quesnal many years ago. Should I ever be back that way, I'd love to see it in person. A very personal question if I may sir? Often times, when someone has such a connection to a place, after they pass, it's as if they are still around in a way. Have you ever experienced times where your sure that he's still around? Regardless of your answer, wherever he is now, I'm sure he is proud of you ;)
Probably dead now and that mill long gone
When I first got this comment I wasn't sure how to respond. It hurt, and I didn't want to respond reactively with a "if you have nothing nice to say......" comment. I think part of the reason it hurt was that the comments abruptness struck me as being rude. After a few days I received a couple other similar comments and it got me thinking. Another part of the reason was that I miss my Dad, and yes you are right he has passed away. But I think your comment was not intended to be rude, but rather to point out what usually happens in these situations, the collector/patriarch/person with morals passes away and the rest of the family sees dollar signs and the feeding frenzy starts. Now here's the thing, if that is what you meant you are exactly right! I was the only one that tried, at great financial and personal cost, to preserve his collection, his home, and his way of life. I got to see what my Dad's family (they are no longer mine) were really like, and even his friends who morally supported my attempt at preserving his memories were right there seeing what they could get for a hundred bucks. I did however succeed in preserving most of the things important to him.
The mill is now a high rise
Actually it isn't, however it does seem to be working that way, a thing that is out of my control.
Hard working man. Wish there were more people like him. A real inspiration. This generation would rather take government handouts, welfare, ect. Sad.
