Hi Josh - sorry to be a geek, but what bit of software did you use to plan and/or draw out the plywood and stud cuts you show in the nice diagram at the beginning? Just want to know your methods because they look so organized.
Josh: What do you use as a cover for the stanchion? I would think some kind of rubber? Also I assume that you put a natural sealant on it too. Excellent video *favorites*
@kaisenji We use rubber mats on the stage area that way we can remove them for cleaning, and since our stanchion lives inside the barn we don't find it nessasary to seal it with anything. Thanks for the compliments I hope yours turns out great.
Great job, would have loved to see you put a goat into it for the last shot, proof of concept. Not that I doubt it works. Some of the plans I look at try to make the movable piece cut out to fit the neck (rounded)...do you do this?
@jveteran I use this stanchion as is for both our Nigerian Dwarfs and for our full sized Nubian. My only worry with cutting a rounded slot for the neck is that our smaller goats could possibly wiggle their heads out out. One modification from the video that I made was to the key. I ended up cutting it down so that one side opens the neck brace slightly more for our Nubian.
Super video. Is there a downloadable measurement sheet available?

Thanks for posting this. Perfect for our pygmy.nigerian goats. I'm going to weather proof it with stain so it can stay outside near the goat shed.

Very professional video, Josh!
I would say it's Tim the Toolman Taylor meets Bob Ross. Meets awesome.
But honestly. Very professional and informative.

@maggiefranz Thanks! I was going for Bob Ross/Mr. T, but I'll accept Bob Ross/Tim Taylor.

very informative video! We needed a stanchion but they are so expensive. Now I know we can build one.
