    I don't comment much. But every time I do you do reply. That's amazing. You have one of the best TH-cam channels out there. This video came out a little late today. I found myself checking the feed more times then I would like to admit. Great content. Great style. Great attitude. Add sponsored products to the channel if you want. This is a business. You need to provide. I'll be here. Waiting for the next upload. See you next week.

    I’m a 68 year old woman, who LOVES a good shop. I’m also a tool girl. I also do all the yard work. You just never know who likes what. ❤❤❤❤

    I know exactly why, given the time (and sometimes I do, health issues keeping me from my own massive Project List) binge anything that looks interesting that comes up on the sidebar with your channel logo: it's relatable, exceptionally well-produced, you obviously have a passion for it, but most of all, you are a genuine Good Neighbor kind of guy. By that, I mean you're wholesome yet infectious that I'm always curious to see what you're working on/sharing with your audience. I actually started listing what Good Neighbor really meant to me, but as a reformed author and you being a smart fellow, I'm sure you know what values are dying out in America that I love seeing on your channel. TLDR: don't change a thing!
    Consequently, there's a handful of channels I'm putting on a shortlist for our next product launch, and I'd be genuinely honored if I could add you to the list, but me being me, it won't release until it's as good as it can possibly be. It's one of those spin-off things that ended up being so interesting for the Million in 1 Uses kind of deal that it's taken over primary development around here. Anyway, I'm not looking for exposure unless it's earned, we're a small family company so I can't/won't shower you in freebies, but a pint sample can is very doable. Don't know if you've set up a PO Box yet, but it seems a common item that a lot of youtubers who accept freebies from subs or whatnot will offer up from time to time before they get too big and need to rent out a warehouse 😁
    At risk of being extraordinarily long already, I wish you the best of future success and will enjoy your passion projects before this channel blows up. (Afterwards also, naturally, but with size you'll have to hire a PR person to monitor your comment section. The trivialities of being too good at something, eh?)

    • @digdrivediy
      @digdrivediy  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Well I appreciate this comment very much. Thanks for such a thoughtful take on things and yes; I feel as if I have a sense of what traits are dwindling in neighbors across America. That community pride and togetherness is still out there, we're just not t seeing enough of it.
      Thanks for the consideration of being included in your product launch. I am intrigued to know more for sure.
      I don't foresee my channel getting too big anytime soon, but I'll be glad to help out other small business owners in any way that I can.
      You can find me via snail mail at:

      Thanks for the great comments and for following along with the silly stuff I record.

      @@digdrivediy Can't guarantee when that may show up, we're still trying to figure out if it pertains to hazmat requirements even though it shouldn't, but if one day next spring a small can in a square box shows up with suspicious labels from Texas, give it a chance before calling the bomb squad. 😉
      Long story shortish, I was working with a small team to fabricate stronger composite jet engine parts right before Covid hit and wiped out our project. I continued working on stuff at home and ended up with this spin-off product that every time I test it on something, I find a new use for it. It'll come with fairly thorough paperwork, but it's primarily designed as an additive for strengthening anything that can be mixed (concrete and 3d printing resin have responded phenomenally above expectations thus far) or painted, and as a side benefit, it doesn't corrode under extreme heat (just discovered it also reverses rust to a point last month!)

    Neil, loved the shop tour. I watched you on your episode with Tractor Tim with Tim and became a subscriber before the video ended. Your videos are entertaining, educational and often times inspiring. I know each video takes a lot of time and effort to create, edit and finalize. I want to thank you for making them. I look forward to them every week. I hope 2022 is a great year for you and your family.

    Found your channel about 6 months ago? I really enjoy what you do, the garden tractors, diy, shop content, family life, it's all things I do myself and you do a great job of sharing it. I like that you don't put out videos just to make videos... it's always much better when there is a purpose. It gets old when other channels make videos that feel like there isn't a purpose other than getting people to click. As far as product advertisement goes, I don't mind it as long as it's not over the top. Keep doing what you've been doing, I always look forward to your new videos. I wish you well with '22.

    • @digdrivediy
      @digdrivediy  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      That is great feedback. I feel the exact same way as I've watched a few others where I felt it was a bit forced. Personally I would rather have quality over quantity but unfortunately TH-cam rewards you more for the latter. I hope I can still sustain with just doing purposeful videos so I value your thoughts on that. Thanks a lot Keith and Happy New Year to you and yours!

    I’ve been dipping into your channel more and more lately. I have a small property, with a small tractor & a decent shed. Thinking of an excavator (“digger” here in New Zealand), and off course a dump truck, neither of which I need.
    Anyway, I like your manner Neil. As many others have said, very relatable. Thanks for making your content for us. Cheers, Tom

      Thanks so much Tom. I'm very humbled to have someone else watching from New Zealand. Hard to imagine for me really :) By the sounds of it, you and I would get along just fine! Good luck with all that stuff you don't need ; ) I think you'll find you won't know how you got along without them! Take care and thanks for watching!

    I don't comment on many videos on TH-cam and no other TH-cam channel besides yours have I watched every single video. My wife and two young boys watch your videos along with me every week. You do great work with all your projects and your videos and editing are great as well. I really like how you seem to highlight your family and show how important your wife and daughters are to you. You guys are a great team! Beautiful shop and homestead by the way. Your place and projects around your place have inspired and given me many ideas for own place while maintaining it and doing yard work on the 2.5 acre yard. I only have a 24x40 shop that tends to get very messy and unorganized during my small projects but also hope to do a better job of keeping it clean this year. Also hope to get it insulated in the future. Keep up the good work in 2022 as I know you will! Also don't worry about what viewers think about you promoting a product or using something in a video a manufacturer has sent for you to test. It's your channel so do what is best for you and your family. If it helps fund you putting out this great content I don't have a problem with it!

    Hello Drum Brother!!! Had to find the video with the music explanation. New viewer but had seen the gear in the background once so took a few minutes to sniff out your video on it. Cover band and church drummer here. Been doing it a long time and it makes a great hobby AND it's how I met the love of my life. She's piano, vocals, guitar player/teacher so music brought us together. Keep drumming!

    I think you should do a video of the band. Or at the very least a drum solo. I think the garage door timeline is a great idea. As for sponsors, I'm happy to know you'll only promote the things you'd use. Happy New Year!

    • @digdrivediy
      @digdrivediy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I may do a band video some day but never felt it was a good fit for most of the content here. I'm really not a great drummer so a solo would probably not be exciting for anyone! :) There is a video on my channel of us setting up an outdoor stage and you can see the band up close. Thanks for the great feedback and thanks for watching!

    Cool video Neil, your shop is amazing. I don't watch all your videos, I try but time is always limited, but I say that to say I didn't even know you sponsored anything. But I agree, having sponsors is cool I would imagine but you are right, it's gotta me something you would otherwise be using, otherwise you can lose credibility quick. I always look forward to your tractor and shop/building related material. I've said it before, you're a great story teller and editor as well, your channel will always shine. The editing does eat up a lot of time for sure, but I'm always impressed with your videos. I look forward to seeing more of your projects in 2022. Happy New Year.

Between watching my brother’s creative use of his 755, and watching you, Tractor Time with Tim, and Dirt Perfect, I’m getting John Deere curious. Maybe I’ll find a 318 some day.

I know I've been scratching at it for a while and it keeps coming back! The 318 is a great entry machine to get your feet wet. Be careful though as they tend to modify... At least for me they seem to :) Thanks for the very kind words and taking the time to say hi. Happy New Year!

    Thanks for the tour of the shop and the look into your life. Always enjoy your videos. I totally understand your stance on the sponsorship videos. In other videos when the channel plugs a product that they have no ties to it loses its authenticity. It’s not genuine. Keep doing what you are doing. Happy New Year And good luck

    Neil, I'm a year late, but I love everything you're doing. As a fellow believer, husband, and dad, I want to commend the way you model so many traits that people need to emulate.
    If you want to break in new leather boots quickly, take a hot shower with them on your feet and wear them around the rest of the day. Feels weird at first, but wool socks help. By the end of the day they'll be molded perfectly. Let them air dry in front of a box fan, apply a good coat of your favorite shoe polish, and you're set for a while.

  • @MrThomasfouraker
    @MrThomasfouraker 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would prefer you take on sponsorships for a few reasons. This provides an additional tangible benefit to you in a form of compensation for your efforts, and us viewers can get honest and transparent reviews from a trusted source with no vested interest or preconceived bias. Continue to stick with what you've done, if a product is applicable and of benefit then by all means endorse it. I do this on my own dime all the time so why shouldn't you if you can get the product discounted, free, or even hopefully compensated for receiving. Happy New Year and looking forward to 2022 content!

    Hi Neil, this is the first time I have been visiting your channel and I have to say how much I enjoy watching. I found the 8hr log splitting and your comments on the downsides of using this particular machine make a lot of sense especially the amount of debris that gets caught up in the hydraulic leads. I dot think it would not be to difficult to create some kind of cowling that prevents this from happening. I would be interested to know if the rental company had any comments on the issues you flagged up and have you considered getting in touch with the manufacturer? I would be interested in what they thought of your feedback because you have made some valid points. I look forward to more content from your channel and wish you continued success in 2022 and beyond. Best wishes and stay safe J.

The Firewood processing, heating with it, the older Deere L&G & compacts, Ford trucks, an endless array of home projects. Great video content that was presented with your attention to editing/ video quality. Please keep going with your same format and looking forward to what you share in 2022!

    • @digdrivediy
      @digdrivediy  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey thanks for checking it out Anthony. Oh yes, I most certainly worry about it once in a while. Any of my videos on TH-cam can make us vulnerable I suppose. We try to take comfort in knowing that we live in a place that really isn't heavily populated and the fact that anyone that pulls into our house is on video and if they go in any of the buildings they are also on video. I have asked other TH-camrs about this stuff too and the majority say there haven't been any problems. There's always risk I suppose but I'm gonna hope for good rather than worry about the potential bad. Thanks for watching!
