    from welder and a fabber of over 60 years, I must say you get an A+ on your skills, and you get bonus points for doing all this BY YOURSELF!!

      I don't have as much experience but I can see all the little details that a lot of people would never notice as well. His attention to detail and processes of building something is extremely pleasing to watch.

    This is why you don’t mess with farmers. The smartest most reliable most sane most logical most reasonable people amongst us have always and will always be farmers.

    Awesome! I'm 84 and I can say this as a compliment. There is just something sexy about a man with dirt on his face as he works building stuff for his ranch.

    Tyler, This 66 yo lady has known a few fellows with workshops. You are so productive and creative, love how you grab scraps and turn them to treasure. It's a craft, a mindset that not many have these days. I am not mechanically or ranch inclined, however love your videos.Please consider hiring/mentoring a helper. You are a wonderful teacher.

    You could make lots of money making gates etc for other farmer your good enough
    I would want to walk behind you and the jobs youve done so far and paint it all in the colour of your choice ..
    Little bit of my O.C.D coming out there ,
    but your farm would look spectacular the gates and everything painted
    Love everything you do
    My dad always told me to watch different work men his moto was look and learn I can do everything in the home and garden only thing I've never tried is tiling
    so I'm watching you and learning so much and for that
    I THANK YOU

    Loved your comment "And here is the Kilogram weight for those of you who are not from around here." Someday we really need to change all our weights and measures to metric. So much more logical and easy to work with! But we are so resistant to change...

    Big Project! You’re so smart! You use what you have! Wow 278 pounds! That’s a heavy gate! Bull Proof! Maybe? You’re really doing a Great Job on this Gate! Tractor to the gate! Smart! Efficient! I’m assuming that this gate is for the Bull open! That’s just where you placed the gate! No Footage, but we understand! Great Video! Thank-you! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤Nice new home for the Baby Bull! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

    OMGosh Farmer Tyler
    That project was so big and so heavy!
    I really liked that tool u got to mark the angles on the ends and how u had a simple way to mark the exact centers on both ends.
    A little off in quilting makes a big difference in the finished project.
    Celebration. A job well done

  • @TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew
    @TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    A few more observations:
    I like the giant lever because you can tell if the gate is latched visually from far away, even from a security camera. That would be harder with a small horizontal latch. I would consider adding some paint, white electrical tape,, or a cheap reflector plastic so I could see it from even further away. When it's time to lock up everything for the night it is a lot nicer to verify everything is secure. Eventually I want my security cams aimed at all of my locking points on my property to speed up my locking checklist
    I liked how you purposely lifted the gate off-center with the heavy sling strap and balanced the load with a smaller ratchet strap carrying a much smaller load. I am really starting to appreciate your tractor lift and I hope to build or buy my own someday
    Great work overall.
    I would not have noticed that this gate was homemade from a distance. Very professional 👍

    I would suggest that if a large bull head butts that gate really hard, they will only do it once and be begging for Aspirin after the head butt. Like always, overkill and I like it.

    Hey FT the gate looks great! Super heavy duty. I got a quick look at your injured thumb and it looks like you went ahead and drilled a few holes in it. Hope that relieved some of the pressure and hope you won’t loose that nail after all! Love all your videos and wish you and your family all the best.

    Super nice heavy gate. We always put a concrete block on the close side to hold them up. Buried a bit in the dirt holes to the side for safety or a solid block is best just sticking out enough to catch the gate.

    • @TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew
      @TqSNv9R0iG5Ckxew 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      In hindsight I think a square nut would be more useful because you could hook a tape measure to it for also measuring lengths. It will require more math to add two lengths and subtract to compensate for the width of the nut but I think it would be worth the effort to get a good measurement.
      I guess if you wanted to, you could attach a sign to the gate using the same fasteners. In that case I would drill behind the nuts before welding for bolt clearance
