If I am not mistaken, the US flag when hung like you have it, the field of stars are on your left side when looking at the flag. You have the field of stars on the right. Also the US flag comes first I.e. to the left and then the state flag goes to the right of the US flag
Good Afternoon I noticed you have an American flag on the wall. When you stand in front of the flag, and you are facing the camera the stars should be on the left. yours are on the right. I am a retired Marine and I notice things like this. Love your show and watch most every day. Good luck with the new tractor and new land.
Nathan, really appreciate your videos. If you're going to hang the National Colors please hang the Flag correctly, The Blue background and stars go in the upper LEFT.
Coulda used that newly found axe to tap that hinge down on the gate. You oughtta add some dirt and white rock around your driveway. Bring it up flush with the top and it helps a lot with mowing and I’m sure the UPS driver will appreciate it also😂😂
Nathan, I believe that hatchet you found is a roofing hatchet. It is designed that way for sliding up under the course above the bad shingles that would need to be replaced to repair a roof made of wood shingles. A very good find none the less.
My dad did some roofing when I was a kid. I remember asking him why his hatchet was bent. He had a reason, but I don't remember now what it was. It might have been for splitting wood shingles. Dad's hatchet also had a pin in the side of it to set the shingle spacing at the right dimension.
"When it hits the door"....that was funny and thanks for not editing it out. It makes it real because everyone has done this. We enjoy your show. I miss east Tennessee, God's country.
Nathan, Long time watcher and hopefully a longer time supporter. Save yourself a lot of time and a lot of shoe leather by maybe keeping a small canvas bag with some basic hand tools, hammer, channel locks, vice grips, crescent wrench, screwdriver w/ assorted bits, good flashlight, hacksaw, WD40, and anything else you might think of in your Tracker. Then anywhere you go on the homestead you will have the basics to handle most common chores without having to return to the tool shed . Take good care of yourself and your family, from one old retired cop to another.
Nathan, I love the channel, and I appreciate how meticulous you are about putting up links to where we might get some of the nice stuff you’ve got. But I have just one complaint: you’ve got your new American Flag hung up backwards. The blue field should always be at the top left with just one exception, and that is when the flag is draped on a casket. Then, the blue field should be over the Veteran’s heart. Sorry to catch you out, but I figured you’d want to know. Thanks for all the years of entertainment and information, and may God bless you and yours.
Nathan, a minor critique. The US flag should be displayed on the left and the Union on the observer's upper left. I am not sure if it is a mirror-image thing with the camera, but I just wanted to pass that info on to you. I am enjoying the barn and new property! Lots of fun projects to be had in there.
When starting a fire in my wood stove, I hold a burning sheet of newspaper just below the opening to the flue in order to get a positive airflow before lighting the wood.
Try white vinegar to clean off rusty metal. I have used this several times to remove all the rust from any type of metal. I have a plastic tote. I pour white vinegar in and let the piece of metal set for a few days. If you've never tried it before, you will be amazed. I enjoy all your videos. Thanks Terry Gardner
I loved seeing your axes. A few years back I couldn't afford Granfors Bruk, Halts Bruk , or Wetterlings axes. A lot of Bush crafters found out that Husqvarna offered a few hand forged axes by Haults Bruk. I went to the local Husqvarna dealer and had a splitting maul, large splitting axe, and small splitting axe ordered. The three together were a special deal and where many specialty suppliers couldn't keep them in stock, those 3 were well under $200. I also bought the multi-purpose axe which is my go to axe. I have other older US forged axes and an unmarked Granfors double bit not yet hung. Thanks! Love the channel!
I'm a big fan of the Channel, have been for years... Just an FYI You have the American Flag hung wrong.. the star field should always be in the left of the stripes.. Again thanks for all the entertaining content and congratulations on the new Property... God bless
Even though I’ve been a woodworker by trade for almost 30 years now, I love your channel my friend!!!! You would think that after doing most of what we see here for 8-10 hrs, I wouldn’t want to watch MORE with my time off!!!! The hilarity of when it hits the door, a few minutes of the glorious axe collection, and even the special moment at the end!!! I’ll tell ya straight up, I watched the fire clip at least a half dozen times!! Thank you for creating a fun channel!!!
8Fed88, you're correct. I had to research this issue once upon a time. I learned that one should consider Old Glory as a person. It's ensign (blue field) should always be on its own upper right hand and if displayed with other flags should be above and/or to its own right of the others. The "person" thing has helped me remember whenever I get confused as to protocol...which is not an unusual occurrence. 🇺🇸
after you get your door free fluid film the track rollers. squeaky house door remove pins fluid film them that way your wife won't know you're going to sawmill after she is asleep.
When displaying an American flag vertically, the Canton (blue part) should be in the top left. It looks backwards, but proper flag display etiquette says the Canton is always top left, otherwise it is considered to be "upside down" which is a symbol for distress. Really enjoy the channel and would love to get some wood from you, but it always seems to be out of stock!! LOL
Nathan. The American flag is improperly hung! The blue field should be to the left. Not sure about the positioning of the state/national flag but that info should be available online.
I think many of us say things and then struggle to figure out why we said it the way we did. I get a kick out of your self- deprecation. It's a good trait to have. You can get a stump bucket for your tractor, and dig out those pears, no problem. You may be able to buy one for about the same cost as renting the mini-ex.
15:50 WD40 Is actually a solvent and will evaporate before long. I would recommend a spray can of either white lithium grease or silicone lubricant. It’s what you may already be using on your garage doors.
Nathan, the stove door is like a butterfly valve choke on a carburetor. Starting cold, you want to leave them both just slightly open, creating a venturi effect. Both stove and engine will reach operating efficiency far faster than leaving door (or butterfly valve) wide open. BTW - I realize this analogy probably doesn't mean a thing to the younger, fuel injected era crowd!
Go to some flea markets and make up some more basic tool boxes for areas that are without. Pliers, hammer and adjustable wrench are a good start. A side arm with shot cartridges and hollow point ammo works great, too! Just a thought, Greg.
That Plumb hatchet is a roofing shingle hatchet. Noting special about it. Probably not worth $12-15. Sometimes the blades are curved & sometimes they're straight. The blade is used to reach under shingles to pull roofing nails.
Nathan, not to be rude, but you have the American Flag hung wrong on the wall. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. Thanks for changing it in advance.
I have the same wood stove. I removed the handle stop so I could adjust the handle any time to allow more air inside. I turn the handle in to make a door gap when starting a fire. Once going, turn it out to close the door tight. Other than that, it's a good stove.
The American flag is hung incorrectly. The blue field is always displayed on the left when hung that way. The American flag is also displayed to the left side! Nice little barn. I've never seen a hay loft so clean and void of hay. Lots of possibilities there!
Your barn is likely in such good shape do to the gaps in the boards. The building is getting lots of air which keeps it dry. That’s A very nice property you got Nathan.
I highly recommend you loo k up and start using the "top down" fire starting method. It will get the secondary reburn going much sooner for a cleaner and more efficient burn. Plus you don't have to mess with the stove as much.
When I got out of high school in 1977 and started in construction the first deck we built was made from redwood which was the wood of choice for decks before pressure treated became the new material. In fact, trusses were made of yellow pine (at least where I live in upstate NY . Yellow pine is used for pressure treated lumber and trussed started being made out of regular pine\spruce lumber . So pressure treated . So, pressure treated started being used in the early 1980's .Those yellow pine trussed were heavy and were like nailing oak . And no, air nailers weren't a thing until a few years later . everything was hand nailed from framing to shingles.
You have one of the nicest shops I have seen, with all the great equipment to do anything a builder could want. As well as being spotless, no buildup of sawdust or planner shavings. That's one of the many reasons I like your channel.
Maybe take the ladder out and use the room to put in a staircase to make the upstairs for he barn really easy to access. Not sure about the space you have to work with.
The lack of battens on the barn could be for ventilation, keeping it dry and helping cool the livestock. It looks very well built so I'm pretty sure they knew what they were doing. Nevertheless, it's yours now so do with it as best fits your needs. I don't know why I said that...😉
Yes sir I’m always watching. The flag looks great & so does the Timber Frame shop. Wow that’s a serious AXE Collection. I had to look up the spelling on the {Grand Champion } axe. GRANSFORS BRUK Scandinavian American felling Axe. WOW great website full of information.
My wood stove is the same way they make them so efficient that it's hard for them to get going right away. But once you get a rip roaring fire, you're good to go. Only thing I do is set a timer. Sometimes I forget if I go upstairs or away from the stove and it gets a little too hot.
Hello Nathan! Great video as always. I love that new barn. It reminds me so much of the old barns I grew up wandering in and out of as a kid and teen. I miss the smell of them! Good luck with the new tractor. I can't wait to see it.
Nate congrats on the new property. The exictment of adding to your property holdings always adds to the possibilities of what comes next. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Nathan that’s a drywall ax and it could be a baby plumb which is rare and would be a great find on your part. Been in the drywall business for over 40 years.
Sorry. I wrote that before I continued with the video. Looks like you know the trick with the ashes. Maybe someone else needs to know it. Great barn and new property!
hello Nathan & Bruno & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks Nathan friends randy & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year's & The Best in New Year's 2024
I have an axe like that one Nathan. I think that’s a roofing axe. I’ve used mine a lot. I love your collection of axes! Nice barn on your new place. Cool video. 👍❤️

If I am not mistaken, the US flag when hung like you have it, the field of stars are on your left side when looking at the flag. You have the field of stars on the right. Also the US flag comes first I.e. to the left and then the state flag goes to the right of the US flag
I was just looking to post the same comment.
With all due respect Nathan, Gerald here is correct.
Gerald is correct. The U.S. flag is always on the left of any other flag and the field of stars is on the left as you are looking at it.
+1 Gerald is correct.
yes, you are correct, I missed that part :)
Good Afternoon
I noticed you have an American flag on the wall. When you stand in front of the flag, and you are facing the camera the stars should be on the left. yours are on the right. I am a retired Marine and I notice things like this. Love your show and watch most every day. Good luck with the new tractor and new land.
You need to turn your American flag around. The stars are supposed to be on the left side when you hang a flag like that.
Hi Nate, the flag should be hung with stars up and on the left. If you heard this already my apologies,always good to see the flag up. 👍
Nathan, really appreciate your videos. If you're going to hang the National Colors please hang the Flag correctly, The Blue background and stars go in the upper LEFT.
Coulda used that newly found axe to tap that hinge down on the gate. You oughtta add some dirt and white rock around your driveway. Bring it up flush with the top and it helps a lot with mowing and I’m sure the UPS driver will appreciate it also😂😂
Nathan, I believe that hatchet you found is a roofing hatchet. It is designed that way for sliding up under the course above the bad shingles that would need to be replaced to repair a roof made of wood shingles. A very good find none the less.
I was thinking they used the roofing hatchet for wood shingles, too. Greg
My dad did some roofing when I was a kid. I remember asking him why his hatchet was bent. He had a reason, but I don't remember now what it was. It might have been for splitting wood shingles. Dad's hatchet also had a pin in the side of it to set the shingle spacing at the right dimension.
I agree. I have some experience as a roofer. Long time ago.
Do you have a damper in your stove pipe? They a handy for controlling your stove performance
"When it hits the door"....that was funny and thanks for not editing it out. It makes it real because everyone has done this. We enjoy your show. I miss east Tennessee, God's country.
🤠
Thank you
The blue field on the American flag should be on the other corner when placed hanging down against a surface.
Nathan, Long time watcher and hopefully a longer time supporter. Save yourself a lot of time and a lot of shoe leather by maybe keeping a small canvas bag with some basic hand tools, hammer, channel locks, vice grips, crescent wrench, screwdriver w/ assorted bits, good flashlight, hacksaw, WD40, and anything else you might think of in your Tracker. Then anywhere you go on the homestead you will have the basics to handle most common chores without having to return to the tool shed . Take good care of yourself and your family, from one old retired cop to another.
Nathan, I love the channel, and I appreciate how meticulous you are about putting up links to where we might get some of the nice stuff you’ve got. But I have just one complaint: you’ve got your new American Flag hung up backwards. The blue field should always be at the top left with just one exception, and that is when the flag is draped on a casket. Then, the blue field should be over the Veteran’s heart. Sorry to catch you out, but I figured you’d want to know.
Thanks for all the years of entertainment and information, and may God bless you and yours.
16:05....kindling, schmindling...I LOVE that stuff!!!

I am not sure if it is a mirror-image thing with the camera, but I just wanted to pass that info on to you. I am enjoying the barn and new property! Lots of fun projects to be had in there.
According to the etiquette on hanging an American flag the field of blue is to be on the left not the right. Love your axes and adzes.
When starting a fire in my wood stove, I hold a burning sheet of newspaper just below the opening to the flue in order to get a positive airflow before lighting the wood.
Try white vinegar to clean off rusty metal. I have used this several times to remove all the rust from any type of metal. I have a plastic tote. I pour white vinegar in and let the piece of metal set for a few days. If you've never tried it before, you will be amazed.

Congratulation on the new property and barn. P.S. The star field on the American flag goes to the left.
Hi Nathen, great video. I did notice the American flag is not hung properly. The blue field should be top left when hanging down.
8Fed88, you're correct. I had to research this issue once upon a time. I learned that one should consider Old Glory as a person. It's ensign (blue field) should always be on its own upper right hand and if displayed with other flags should be above and/or to its own right of the others.

That is a roofing hammer. Hook pulls roof nails out, flat side cuts roof tile, and hammer for roof nails.
Nathan, don't know if anyone has told already, when hanging the American flag the blue field should be on the left. Enjoy your show.
Yes, the field is only on the right side when on a casket. All other times it's on the left as seen from the most viewed orientation.
That plumb is a roofing hatchet mostly used for shingles b4 air guns . Sheetrock hatchet have a shorter back blade & a round nailing head
after you get your door free fluid film the track rollers. squeaky house door remove pins fluid film them that way your wife won't know you're going to sawmill after she is asleep.
When displaying an American flag vertically, the Canton (blue part) should be in the top left. It looks backwards, but proper flag display etiquette says the Canton is always top left, otherwise it is considered to be "upside down" which is a symbol for distress.
Really enjoy the channel and would love to get some wood from you, but it always seems to be out of stock!! LOL
Dexter's are the way to go. Good for lactose intolerance people and good for babies that would normally need goats milk
Just for your information, WD40 is not really a lubricant. It is meant to be used as a moisture/water dispersant, hence the WD designation.
I have found Fluid Film to be a much better, longer lasting lubricant.
As soon as it hit the door, I knew this would be another good episode!
Nathan. The American flag is improperly hung! The blue field should be to the left. Not sure about the positioning of the state/national flag but that info should be available online.
I think many of us say things and then struggle to figure out why we said it the way we did. I get a kick out of your self- deprecation. It's a good trait to have.

It’s what you may already be using on your garage doors.
Thank you for the Quiet fire.
It was Softly enjoyable.
When hanging the National Color, the Blue Field is on the Left not the Right
Good morning from Rochester, New York.
its obvious they had horses and that small room is called here in australia a tack room where they kept all their gea
Get a couple goats to put out behind the barn they will clean that mess right up for you.
small essentials tool box on the side by side would be nice.
Nathan, the stove door is like a butterfly valve choke on a carburetor. Starting cold, you want to leave them both just slightly open, creating a venturi effect. Both stove and engine will reach operating efficiency far faster than leaving door (or butterfly valve) wide open. BTW - I realize this analogy probably doesn't mean a thing to the younger, fuel injected era crowd!
Keep the pear trees and make brandy or cider with the fruit.
Nathan looks like 👍 you’re always so busy with work but all work and no play will make you a dull mess 😮😊❤
A wheel barrow is a good find. That’s worth a minimum $100 bucks.👍🏻
That be a plumb roofing hammer for wood shingles.
Use your wood ships to start your fire
Thing about those old pole barns is, it's really tough getting livestock up them ladders!
LOL carry one goat at a time, the hole in the floor is for getting them down quickly .
Go to some flea markets and make up some more basic tool boxes for areas that are without. Pliers, hammer and adjustable wrench are a good start. A side arm with shot cartridges and hollow point ammo works great, too! Just a thought, Greg.
That hatchet is a shingle’s hatchet, for wood shingles installing
Nathan your US flag is hung improperly stars always go top left. so they should be touching the Tennessee flag
That Plumb hatchet is a roofing shingle hatchet. Noting special about it. Probably not worth $12-15. Sometimes the blades are curved & sometimes they're straight. The blade is used to reach under shingles to pull roofing nails.
That's a roofing hatchet, my grandpa had many of them.
You want to measure the height on the barn and check it against the ROPS on the new tractor.
Roofing hammer or hatchet. You could split a wooden shingle if need be.
You have a free gate to use to keep the cattle in when you get them love the Bigfoot sign behind the Ax
Nathan, not to be rude, but you have the American Flag hung wrong on the wall. When displayed either horizontally or vertically against a wall, the union should be uppermost and to the flag's own right, that is, to the observer's left. Thanks for changing it in advance.
Stay red on the barn - traditional is really cool. Stay safe.
Nice old barn, always a lot of history inside them.
Yes they are!
I have the same wood stove. I removed the handle stop so I could adjust the handle any time to allow more air inside. I turn the handle in to make a door gap when starting a fire. Once going, turn it out to close the door tight. Other than that, it's a good stove.
That's a great idea!
Nice Plumb roofers axe. My first finish hammer was a Plumb. I still have it. So, its about 45 years old.
That hatchet would do a really good resto video ...
Thanks for sharing.
The American flag is hung incorrectly. The blue field is always displayed on the left when hung that way. The American flag is also displayed to the left side!
Nice little barn. I've never seen a hay loft so clean and void of hay. Lots of possibilities there!
Your barn is likely in such good shape do to the gaps in the boards. The building is getting lots of air which keeps it dry. That’s A very nice property you got Nathan.
Thanks for the tips!
We had a sliding door that was a problem. So a guy put silicone in the track and wow those doors were slick. Opening with one hand.
I highly recommend you loo k up and start using the "top down" fire starting method. It will get the secondary reburn going much sooner for a cleaner and more efficient burn. Plus you don't have to mess with the stove as much.
My dad always said my mouth would outrun my brain lol ! I can relate ,thx

Nathan, your American flag is hanging backwards. The Star field is always on the left! From a Vietnam era Army veteran!
Nice fire!!
Those hangers look like my guitar hangers. Very similar...
Hi Nathan, great video, love the new property, that was an inspired purchase, very well done
Ives got a friend in Northern Kentucky that raises Dexter cattle. He loves them
Try Pam kitchen spray on rollers 🤠💪🙏🙏
Good idea!!
@OutoftheWoods0623 seriously the stuff is amazing using all over on equipment
You have one of the nicest shops I have seen, with all the great equipment to do anything a builder could want. As well as being spotless, no buildup of sawdust or planner shavings.
That's one of the many reasons I like your channel.
I'm telling Mike. I'M TELLING MIKE ! 😄😄😄😄
Not to be picky, but the US flag is backwards in the video. Blue field should be top left regardless of hung vertically or horizontally.
Mr. Elliott: hand scraping your walnut braces and using a vacuum for cleanup is faster and cleaner than sanding without breathing the dust.
Wood stove fans help if it's really cold inside or out. Your stove has plenty of space to set one down.
I'm surprised you don/'t keep a small tool kit in your side by side
Maybe take the ladder out and use the room to put in a staircase to make the upstairs for he barn really easy to access. Not sure about the space you have to work with.
Beautiful boards. Really happy you got the three acres with the barn. You have enough to keep you busy all through next summer.
I have a buck stove in my garage to start the fire I use old used engine oil and an Oxy acetylene torch The instant inferno!
The lack of battens on the barn could be for ventilation, keeping it dry and helping cool the livestock. It looks very well built so I'm pretty sure they knew what they were doing. Nevertheless, it's yours now so do with it as best fits your needs. I don't know why I said that...😉
Yes sir I’m always watching. The flag looks great & so does the Timber Frame shop. Wow that’s a serious AXE Collection. I had to look up the spelling on the {Grand Champion } axe. GRANSFORS BRUK Scandinavian American felling Axe. WOW great website full of information.
That ax is a shingle roof hammer it has a little bend on it by design.
Install a tool box on that UTV with standard tools.
My wood stove is the same way they make them so efficient that it's hard for them to get going right away. But once you get a rip roaring fire, you're good to go. Only thing I do is set a timer. Sometimes I forget if I go upstairs or away from the stove and it gets a little too hot.
Hello Nathan! Great video as always. I love that new barn. It reminds me so much of the old barns I grew up wandering in and out of as a kid and teen. I miss the smell of them! Good luck with the new tractor. I can't wait to see it.
Excited to see the model he chose
I would love to do something with my 20 acres. Unfortunately, it's very steep and I am landlocked with crappy neighbors.
Nate congrats on the new property. The exictment of adding to your property holdings always adds to the possibilities of what comes next. Can't wait to see what you do with it.
Nathan that’s a drywall ax and it could be a baby plumb which is rare and would be a great find on your part. Been in the drywall business for over 40 years.
Nathan, really enjoyed the many different camera setups you used here. A lotta work taking the time to do all that.
Much appreciated!
Love you shop and new property, looking forward to seeing the new tractor.
Thanks 👍
Sorry. I wrote that before I continued with the video. Looks like you know the trick with the ashes. Maybe someone else needs to know it. Great barn and new property!
That hatchet you found is a shingling axe or hatchet. I had one of those hanging from my tool pouch for almost a decade, so I'm sure of what I say.
hello Nathan & Bruno & it's is randy and i like yours video is cool thanks Nathan friends randy & Merry Christmas & Happy New Year's & The Best in New Year's 2024
I have an axe like that one Nathan. I think that’s a roofing axe. I’ve used mine a lot. I love your collection of axes! Nice barn on your new place. Cool video. 👍❤️
Nathan, Yo may want to consider a woodstove fan for the top of your wood stove for heat distribution..
Always something interesting
