My dad gave me Stanley 10 1/2 plane he found at a thrift store. I used it to do some joinery for the weight lifting bench I made from an ikea table. Worked great for the evening the bottom of the rabbets after I used my table saw to clear most of the waste. Or my 1867 book Die Geschiste Der Erda. This year for got some thorogood boots, they definitely help keep my feet feeling well with all the walking and standing I do. But I would never wear a Union suit right next to my skin and especially not a red one, red dye runs, and wool even Marino is still itchy. I will keep a poly propylene layer under me for starters, would like to move to silk at some point

Please do some videos on the foods we eat now compared too years ago ,for instance ice cream is not really ice cream anymore it's basically whipped hydrogenated grease with artificial flavoring and just a tiny bit of actual cream in it ,what other "fake " foods do we have now ?

I bought a hand crank burr mill coffee grinder, probably close to 100 years old, on a whim in an antique store for $20, about 10 years ago. I made my first cup of coffee and gave my electric grinder away!

Seeing a newly posted video from you is truly the highlight of my day! It has been my lifelong dream to live in mountain country, gardening, canning, preserving, and living off-grid at a slower pace of life. Now I am! I'm creating a community food forest here on my 2 acre property in the hollers of Appalachia!

Yes, yes, yes!!!! I bought a pair of made in the USA Red Wing boots, took care of them and they were able to be repaired. Ya know they lasted almost 20yrs. Sadly they got rid of that style boot.
