great video. I was lucky enough to get to cowboy with both my grandfathers. I got to spend days and days in the saddle with each one of them when growing up and even as an adult after the military. I would give anything to have some vids of it tho.
Cody, I shared this video with some family and friends. It is one of your best, not because of the content but the meaning behind it. It has long been on my favorites list and hope others can see the meaning behind it. Spend time with the generation we about to loose, a generation without computers and knowing the meaning of work. Again thank you for sharing your time with your Grandfather, both of mine were gone at an early age. TPC
reminds me of working with my grandfather your a blessed man to still be able to spend time with yours charish every minute because you never no when it may be the last
wow Cody you are talented with gifts. If ya'll dont mind i pray to God to learn me the same gifts talents He gave to you. God willing, your knowledge will be passed onto me then my sons :)
I have been watching many of your videos. What you are doing is very inspiring. Although the work is hard it must be exciting to be making your future home with your own two hands and the help of family and friends. Stay safe and good luck.
What are you planning on doing with all of those planks made of the exterior of the logs? I would imagine they would make a nice looking siding with the bark facing out and the nice roundedness for dimansion.....then again without some sort of sealant the bark would probably fall off and the wood would rot.....but it would be cool none the less.
But there must be something cool to do with those end pieces.
Nice work. I love working with the logs. I could tell your in Oregon right away spent most my life outside Eugene. Now up in the Sierra Nevada's and used the chain saw mill for our own housing project. I like the idea of using the ladder as the mill guide, that's smart. Never seen the vertical chainsaw mill you used, but looks like it makes the job quicker. I have my own house project I used cut logs in but not timbers, Best wishes.
I so wish my grandfathers were still here to help me build things. I lost one at 69 from leukimia & one at 92 from prostate cancer. I'm so glad yours is there to share this with you!
My Dad will be 83 in September & he is a great teacher, so I have learned alot from him.
This is what life's all about. If television aired material of this type and less of the current garbage, we'd all be living much better lives in a much better country.
Cody, I loved this video. The best part is you've captured that time with your grandad. I hope you've already burned the video onto a CD to preserve it forever. I really enjoyed seeing how you cut the timber. I was fascinated. Thanks for going to the trouble to share the adventure with us.
Very much enjoyed this...As I was watching, I could not help but to think about all the technology advancement your Grandad has seen over his 90 years...cordless drills, cell phones, computers ect...Be fun to sit down and talk, well listen would be more like it...we can all learn a lot from our elders...Thanks for sharing...Todd
He reminds me of and looks exactly like my dad. They don't make em like that anymore. You guys represent the true American Spirit. Thanks for sharing. :)
reminds me of working with my dad, he is 70 and can still wear me out. We dont yet have the time in to know what these old guys do. I still have not found anything that feels better then working hard all day......weird
Very well done Cody. You put that together great. The fact you had your grandfather there with you helping wth the project was over the top awesome. Really enjoyed this video. Thanks
Well, that's just magical. There are not enough eloquent words to convey the joyous impact of observing this video.I never knew my grandad, and my father has been gone for 23 years but this brought back some wonderful memories for me. Thanks for making and sharing it.
god you sure picked the right song for this video chester you dont look a day over 70 i know see where all this knowledge comes from another happy ending god bless you all
thanks Cody great video. just wondering how your chain and bar held up after a days work, because i know i always have trouble cutting down the grain. thanks again =)
Although we live half world apart, perhaps we share that same good feelings. You make beautiful video Cody. You are able to capture the good feeling n emotion in your video. Btw, What video camera are u using? HD ? Perhaps you should consider making a series on how you do camerawork, video editing, angle shooting, devices etc. in the future. Thanks for sharing.
Cody, not kwel makin a grown man cry !...... thanks for the heart warming video and it reminded me of the wonderful times i've had with my grandparents too....god bless you and your family bro !...peace
It's amazes me how some people can have such a lonely,un-happy life and to be so petty as to always "dis-like" even vids are great as this one.What's not to like about it?
Cody,I know I don't have to tell you how lucky you are to have your Grandad still here.He looks to be in great shape for a man that's been here almost a century.Mt GrandDad passed in '94 and I still think of him everyday.I wish you many more years w/ yours!
God bless Chester at 91 years young!!! My mom's 78 and 92lbs soaking wet and climbed up on the ladder to make sure the roofers put her new one on correctly since her and my dad built their house. Nothing like those moments. Great vid Cody, thanks.
I too had a tear in my eye watching this video. My grandfather and I were very close also, he was my insperation for being a carpenter long ago. I was 15 when he pasted away. Great video! Cherish all the time you have with him Cody. Take care, Tim, St. Paul, Missouri.
I wish my granddad was still here, so much i could still learn from him. I got a tear my eye, all i can say is wow how lucky you are. i'm so envious of you.
Cody I look up to you in every way, what you are doing is truly amazing and beautiful. You are the type of man I want to eventually become. I greatly respect you and wish the best of luck to you and your family.
Beautiful vid man. This is the sort of thing every child should be able to experience......having a good and loving grandad. Interesting to see at present there is 3 douche bags that down rated this, they probably never had what you have.
It's awesome working with other people when you both know what you're doing. You don't have to talk much, things just get done. It's awesome to see it in action too.
thank you for bringing back those treasured memories of my hero my dad. At the age of 14 work[ng in the garage on a saterday with my dad well i got t admit i was wishing i was out with my friends at the lake but now i got to say those were golden times and the cat stevens song was new on the raido when we were out there. again thanks
Wow Cody this is definitely a keepsake video, it's wonderful to have such moments, my grandparents were gone by the time I was 16 but I still have fond memories of them Great video thanks for sharing this special time with us.God Bless you and your family and I hope you have many more years with your Grandpa.
Cat Stevens.... Haven't hear him in 40 years. Strange isn't ! What those words meant then and now. I will be a Granddad for the first time this Summer. Thanks for sharing!
Priceless memories and precious time spent with your grand dad Cody. Both my grand dads died before I knew them, so this video was nice to watch for me. Thanks for sharing with us.
your best video ever Cody..really enjoyed it. I'm 42 and my grandfather is also 91 just as yours. I enjoy our moments and cherish each and every one of them. Thank you for sharing.
@phillipgaley Seriously, you haven't taken a moment to make your own video ever? And you make a negative response? Especially while he's making a family video? I'm speechless. Go somewhere else.
@wranglerstar When you live to 91, you get the privilege of wearing whatever the heck you want. ~hikes pants up to chest~ Thanks for sharing the vid--neat background music too!
Very cool setup with the old ladder. What do you do with your scraps, firewood? Your grandfather seems like quite the guy. It's always special to work with someone like your grandfather.
When I started watching this video (and still) I got a tear in my eye. Yeah, I said it. I lost my grandfather over 18years ago. And I truly wish I would have had more time to spend with him. Heck, I haven't seen my mother or father since 1997 and they are still alive. Well, I'm not sure about my father.
Anyhow, good video Cody.
I'll end it with everyone should cherish every moment they are able to spend with friends, family and live life to the fullest. You never know how long it will last.
Awesome Cody! So great to see you and your Grandad working together. I am sure are many great memories together! Cherish every moment together and thanks for the great videos. :)
WoW! I'm 34 and I just lost my grandpa last month. While we didn't do these things together, I have plenty of great memories of him growing up. Congrats to your grandpa for getting out and living life. By the way, a spitting image of your grandpa if you ask me. Take care the both of you. :)
