Mike that quote at 19:32 are very powerful words! I have lived by this rule since I was young you can never be afraid to try something new! Put time towards what you want to learn and you can do great things…. This is a motto I hope everyone is teaching there young ones.
Very satisfying watching a guy work without complaining the whole time
It's really not hard lol. More people should try
Captain Kleeman, Firefighter, mechanic, carpenter, operator extraordinaire, and now stone mason 😅
Adding to the list!
Brother, if they can dismantle the London Bridge and rebuild it in Arizona, you can make the Kleeman Bridge a draw for people to come out to see with that limestone. A regular bridge over troubled waters since it came from a church!
Looks like fun. i bet you, as a kid you loved to play in the mud, now as an adult you still love it. LOL I wish that I was there to help out and enjoy the moment. Looks like fun. Take care and be safe
Captains Life Coaching is the next channel, and Im here for it!
Lol
I have to tell you Mike, there's not a better bucket made than a TidyCat bucket!! They are built STRONG!!! Loved the video and thank you for bringing us along on your adventure!!!
I love how easy the triple nickel starts.
You and me both!
Now that's a great idea with the "new" stone. It's going to look OUTSTANDING!!!
You might be ado it yourself anything but I would trust your work anytime. Happy that TH-cam is working for you. 🤠👍
It’s always fun doing projects with “free material “ . It always makes you get creative in the build process.👍looks good kleeman
Always fun to try something new, I can vouch for that. This is going to be one sweet build/construction project, if you go by the way I envision your build it is going to come out awesome, who knows, it may turn out better than either one of envision it, now wouldn’t that be a sweet deal ehy? Loving this series young man, your doing a great job. Thanks for the update sir.
Man I’m so excited for the video of a gully washer rain flowing under this bridge!
Well that got really fancy all of the sudden.
I think you'll be happy with that for a long time.
Me too!
You never cease to amaze, that is going to be a good looking bridge.
Thank you sir
Now THAT is what I was talking about. Good use of the church stone. Looks great!
Thanks!
Started out a simple bridge...Gonna be a work of art.
💪
Captain Mike, the Motivator, Love the development of trails through all of your properties. Going to be decades of relaxation and enjoyment for the whole family. Peace and quiet, when you want to get away with Mother Nature. I get it Mike.
Vision! you've got to have it. Some people can stare at something all day long and have no clue what it could be. Others can look at it and instantly think of "what it could be"
Well if ever there was a Bob Ross moment on this channel it was those two stone footings being that close to level. Looking great!
Great ASMR video. This type of video is what I call "Rough ASMR". I've taken a couple of naps already listening to this video.
Good job captain you right don’t ever quit learning
💪
Hi, well did you are in the woods you are doing it how you want it, in keeping with its surroundings, it not a rival to the golden gate, it’s not trying to be, it will be safe it will be fun & it will be yours. Well did. 👍🐝🌞
Always enjoy your ingenuity and desire to try doing things for yourself instead of paying or asking someone else. Great video and yet another fascinating project.
Very very cool project, wishing the videos were a bit longer though! Tx Captain 👍🏻.
Noted!
Really appreciate the hard-work on the video with multiple cameras, excellent editing and great commentary. Great thought process of working with all existing resources and being frugal. Being frugal is something not a lot of people know of or even appreciate. It's just some more thinking needed to avoid some waste, or use something that is already there or rethink things and come up with an innovative solution.
Doing a project just for the fun of it! All good!
I would have never guessed the first sand stone project would be a stone bridge arch in the middle of the woods. 😂 Very cool. 👍
Cut the front and back off an old school bus. Make really cool looking relic bridges.
That would be cool!
I love that view of the river. The turkey looked like it wanted to help you mix up some mortar.
It will eat anything including mortar 😂
Should make for an interesting thanksgiving turkey with a side of portland@@CaptainKleeman
4:29 how convenient, thanksgiving dinner just walked up!
Captain Kleeman, when we see smoke rising from your shop. It's just you brainstorming. 😅😅😅😅😅😮😊😊😅
Lol overheat sometimes ya know
This is the season for Jerusalem Artichoke bulbs. Just got mine after a 3 month wait. I recommend planting some around the homestead. Roots are like potatoes, they spread and look like sunflowers when in season.
Well this is interesting
What a awesome idea useing the limestone. Cant wait to see the finished product. Your awesome CAPTAIN
Love'n it! Classic & Rustic, combined! Very cool! Great video. Can't wait til the next installment! Thanks Mike! Lee
Thanks lee!
Cap’n she’s a looking stout!!! T’won’t be long till the Triple Nickel will be rolling across with ease!
Ya did a rather darn nice job on those pillars. Comparatively, I’m sure glad that TH-cam wasn’t a thing when I did my first brick and mortar job. There are mud fences straighter and purdier than what I produced.
Keep plugging along, and you’ll have a full blown tourist attraction. Not a bad thing iffen yer trying to attract tourists!
Lol, bad masonry jobs make great videos though!
Awesome,! Really cool that you're working in some of the limestone into the bridge. It looks exactly like the plans from the catalog.
Fabulous, Mike! You never know if you can do something unless you try! BTW, if that metal sign "TWC End" came from a local railroad, it indicates to a locomotive crew that the "warrant" that permits the passage of a locomotive or a train is no longer valid or under the direct control of a dispatcher. "Track Warrant Control," or TWC indicates that this particular section of trackage has no signaling to protect a locomotive or train. In other words, the trackage must be used ONLY with the permission of a dispatcher who knows whether or not the upcoming track is occupied by another locomotive or train. Typically, Track Warrant Control is used on trackage that sees limited use, or where the track connects one line to another and there are no passing sidings available to necessitate remote signaling. In effect, the track handles only one-way traffic at any one time. "Short Line" railroads with limited miles of trackage often use Track Warrant Control to ensure train/crew safety. Al het beste! All the best!
I love how this bridge is coming together. It's just like the things you would've seen out in Appalachia. Ya just use what ya can use.
Absolutely enjoy your attitude. At 72 I’m still a sponge for new skills. The body isn’t in as good as yours is, but I’m in no hurry to finish the work, it will get done a little bit slower 😂. Love the new project!
Mike your a man of many visions,quite impressive as to how you have built the bridge.just keep doing what you do best and carry on 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Thanks Tom
Wow, you are a talented and creative developer for your land!
I would love to come up and see that stone bridge in person…. Maybe when the TH-cam yacht guest house is complete!
An inquiry…..
That Turkey you have running around the property now is HUGE!
Is that TDay dinner? Do you sell them … to the local butcher?
How about an update of all your critters and what will be happening to them…
Your food storage or selling to others for their food storage……
😂
Doing wonderful creative content as usual!
The turkeys are just expensive pets lol
Your very own London bridge, looks really nice Captain and I'm with you on the whole learning and doing stuff thing. When you think about all those famous inventors from Jethro Tull to the Stevenson's, to Etienne Lenoir, to Alexander Graham Bell, to Thomas Edison, to John Logie Baird and Philio Farnsworth and Tim Berners-Lee, if they had given up at the 1st failure or not even tried where would we be.👍 At the end, had to listen again as I thought you said rock fridge, 🤣as it happens I am going for a hearing test tomorrow, which might not be a bad thing. 🤗
That is starting to look like a very fine pizza oven!
😂😂 that would be a plot twist
Mike, when you start getting older and greyer you will look back at your projects with pride, remembering how hard you worked towards what you will have then. Your kiddos will remember their Daddy and his hard work and ingenuity and brag to their friends about you. I have more and more respect for you and what you are doing the more I watch. May you continue to be abundantly blessed and whatever you do, watch out for falling rocks 😁! John here, from the back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
Excellent work Mike. Love the mixture of natural stone and shaped stone. The rebar and structure you are creating will definitely help reduce the erosion from the water. Thanks for sharing.
There’s a T-shirt opportunity there “you don’t know everything when you’re born, you don’t know everything when you’re unborn” would make a start of captain quotes line of shirts 😇
loving the project. Looks somewhat professional, I’ve seen worse from a so called professional lol😂
Lol thanks!
you make hard work look so easy and fun, i think it's going to look amazing, thanks for sharing 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌👌
Thanks!
Ok, Mike. Didn't expect you to use the lime stone on the bridge.. but I am liking it! Will this be another great looking bridge you built, Guess we'll find out! (The answer is yes, yes it will be)
💪
Dirt perfect could not be quiet for that long 😆. Great vid!
wow is all I can say.i now know why you did the church job this looks great
We call them ‘Clapper Bridges’ here in the UK, (apparently,) and have surviving examples from the medieval era, so if built well, they can last hundreds of years!
When finished, The Rock Bridge Crossing will look AMAZING! I can see it already! 👍⛏🔨⚓
Thanks!
Well I'm no brick layer but that's just great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😊
Thank you!
I'm way older than you are Mike but I learned the things I know today because we could not afford to have things fixed. So I had to try to fix them first. And without TH-cam. LOL That was why I started my channel. Not because I am an expert in anything. Just because I have had to do a lot and figure things out a lot on my own. My dad was an airplane mechanic in the Air Force for 21 years so he was great at fixing engines. Everything else I just had to learn on my own or be taught.
Being completely useless is a luxury of the wealthy. Or so I've been told lol
A hundred years from now someone's going to be rolling over that bridge wondering what it was like to build it.
Absolutely no doubt that it'll still be in darn good shape given all the hard work the Captain is putting into it.
From a wood bridge to a stone bridge with limestone columns.
Maybe a steel cross beam trestle one next to round out the Captain's bridge series ?
I do love building bridges!
Pretty high class columns there, Mike! A little upgrade in the woods.
You sure lucked out with the beautiful weather you have had
You aren't wrong!
First time watching your channel and I just had to subscribe! I am thoroughly impressed with your willingness to try something new out without hesitation and I also respect your humble attitude! The bridge turned out great! I think it will hold up well with all the reinforcements.
Your hands-on experience reminds me of my late father who wasn't afraid to try new things, he improvised when he didn't have the materials on hand or the $$ to buy some of the materials.
We built a lot of things together as I was his young helper, and I ❤'d working on building projects together!
I want to watch your videos from the beginning of your journey. Looks very interesting! 👏👍
Hey appreciate the feedback and welcome to the channel!
I need more of this. Something about block laying is so satisfying and it’ll be there practically forever.
Love that "Patented" "Knees Ease" Cushion there Capt.!
I’m unreasonably excited to see that Indiana Limestone being used for the bridge. God I’m weird.
I'm pretty happy about it myself
Looks great Captain. Maybe span the gap with boat anchor chain welded together. Keep the theme going.... Lol That can be an arch! Hmmm
That would be cool
Hi Mike, you are definitely a man that puts the time in. You think of something special and make it happen 👌you are an inspiration. And you make the coolest stuff 👍and have an amazing Sense of humor!! hope you all stay safe and happy.
🇨🇦 Craig
Thank you Craig!
That is a great job,
You could put a toll both up, just kidding!
Lol, it would be funny!
I love that you are using so much found stone. I refuse to buy any rip rap or river rock for a drainage/culvert project because I am sure I can harvest all I need on my property over the next ten years or so. 😂
Lol exactly! Pay for it? Heck in growing it over here
So looking forward to seeing this bridge progress, excellent project Mike 👍👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
OK, that's it. Vevor needs to sponsor you a generator that will allow you to mix that concrete where you are using it.
Unless they sell a well drilling kit as well, gonna need more than electricity lol. But it would be handy!
Added bonus that the limestone ads other than looking nice it protects the structural component underneath.. =)~
Definitely!
That bridge is turning out great 👍
Thanks!
This is a cool project. You will have to offer tours to all of the projects when you rent the cabins.
i hope everyone has a great day
You too joy!
Free concrete mixer still hanging in there like a pro.
Sure is!
Really enjoy listening to your comments..perhaps it's time for the next spin-off "captains vlog"..without stardate i'll hope!
It looks good so far. I cant wait to see what it looks like when your done
You and me both!
If you use a bottle jack you can lift the side your working on and get cement between the joints then lower it onto the wet cement so it's not going to move
It's already pinned
Looking good Cap'n Kleeman.
Beware of Trolls :)
I know an arch would be cool but I think if you used trunks of the trees on both sides it would be more forgiving if you slid into them. Sorta keep it looking like nature did it. Like they would use on a rustic bridge. Just an idea...but great work and it's your project, your ideas. Keep up the good work
I think you're probably right
Nice ranger pickup captain 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks Mike,peace brother…
💪
Mike, it looks like once again you are having a lot of fun with this project!
That's a lot of work for a bridge in the woods . But if you have time, I guess it's worth it.second point if anyone needs a mini excavator, you are him captain ! I know because I'm 65 and I like projects like you do and my yanmar 35 allows me to do a lot more then I could without it .
It won't be in the middle of the woods when it's all said and done 👍
There’s going to be trucks going over this bridge! I would HOPE there’s going to be a lot of work put into it!
My grandpa and I built a bridge this exact same way when I was a 6 year old kid on our farm in the backwoods... I am 46 years old now and that bridge is the ONLY thing left of our old farm.. tractors, grain trucks, etc drove over it. Still do and never has failed...
Concerned about you being underneath that big rock with such tenuous support. Take care.
It took a move to the mountains of NC to learn the value of that 5000-psi mix! Love the bridge, can't wait to see what you do with the joint between the large stones.
Looks good Mike, thanks for sharing! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Appreciate ya watching
"CONCRETE VIBRATOR" Good to clarify!
Excellent job.
Thanks!
Hello Mike, I’m trying to follow along with every video on your rock bridge. I live my life kind a like you. Could say I’m in your camp.
Thanks Jim
Hi Mike, I don't comment very often unless I think my 2 cents will help. If you're going to be doing a fair amount of gap filling with mortar - look into getting a "pastry bag". They make projects like this a lot easier. Big box stores will have them with the bags of cement & mortar Love your videos! You always get a "Thumbs up". Stay safe. Jim in Phoenix
"Pastry" definitely work well. Used them several times for tuckpointing stone work.
Your talents are endless. Great job. Like you I enjoy building things and like you, I'm self taught, but at 85 my building days are over. I love your videos. If you get tired of fighting fires you could always become a stone mason.
Doing something creative like this, I could get very excited (and carried away) about too!!
I think it's an awesome idea!! 👍👍👍👍
Looking awesome Captain! Y'all take care.
💪
Rock on!
💪
Coming along nicely 😃 see you on the next one.!🤠
💪
Great idea using your Bedford Limestone to build the “walls”.
The design you described will look great if it works out and I’m sure with your determination it will.
Looking forward to your Monday video already.
Hope so! Appreciate ya watching
The Rock should be saturated with water before you mortar
Building of the arch on the crossing should be good watchin I bet✌️ Napa California
Cat litter bucket are handy. We have 3 cats and they keep us in buckets.
Can't have enough of them!
I thought about the lime stone but regular stone would match but use what you have looking good
That’s going look great and work nice . What a in vision. 💯💯💯
Het ziet er goed uit geweldig gedaan top job 🎉👌👍groetjes uit Holland 👋🏼🇳🇱
