Huge Wood Haul & Coffee By The Fire
Просмотров 1,3 тыс.4 месяца назад
As winter starts coming to an end, collecting firewood becomes an essential task for those who rely on wood-burning stoves or fireplaces for warmth. The process involves selecting the right type of wood, which should be dry and seasoned to ensure it burns efficiently and safely. Hardwoods like birch are preferred for their long burn times and high heat output. It’s important to gather wood earl...
Building A Simple Shave Horse / Tools Of The Past
Просмотров 9494 месяца назад
A shave horse is a traditional woodworking tool that combines a vice and a workbench. It's primarily used for green woodworking tasks such as shaping chair legs or preparing wood for a pole lathe. The user operates the shave horse by sitting astride it and using a foot-operated clamp to secure the workpiece, allowing both hands to be free for tools like drawknives or spokeshaves. This setup pro...
Coppicing, Homemade Tools & Trading Time For Heat

Hello all! Welcome back. If this video we head out on the snowmobile in search of some firewood. It's only small trees I'm collecting here but as we don't own our own forest yet I have to take what I can get! These trees overhang into the field which causes the tractors problems in the summer so will be cut down anyway. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #firewood #win...
A £30 Inspection Camera... Any Good?
Просмотров 6585 месяцев назад
Bit of a random one today for you. I treated myself to an inspection camera which is something I've wanted for many years but never bothered as they were so expensive. I spotted this one for around £30 and thought it was worth a bash. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #inspection #camera #workshop
I Made A Huge Mistake...

Well what can I say? You live and you learn I guess. Do your research! In this video I discuss how I managed to break my new snow blower and probably damage my vintage Nuffield universal tractor in the process by using the wrong type of pto shaft.

Broken Husqvarna Chainsaw Left For Years. Can I Fix It?
Просмотров 9585 месяцев назад
I was very kindly gifted an old Husqvarna 350 chainsaw recently that had been sitting broken in a garage for many years. The previous owner thought I would have some fun getting it running again so sent it over from England. PATREON www.patreon.com/ashpollard INSTAGRAM Ash _ _ Pollard #husqvarna #chainsaw #willitrun

Welcome back all! In this video you join me in the workshop where I show you a simple but very effective toolbox organization solution made from foam that most people would throw away.

Surely it will still charge even in winter?!
We get no direct sunlight at all on our land for around 3 months during winter 😊
No burn to hardening 🫤
😍
If I had to spend 10 hours chopping firewood I would hate my life. But just one hour on this lake and everything would be fine again. This silence must be a dream. 🙏
It's a balance for sure. Living here in the way we do is a lot of work but is also very rewarding
Awesome Ash! As always your photography is beautiful. Enjoy the rest of your summer.
Thank you 🙏 You too!
Lovely. Captures Norrland summer well. And no rain ...
There's been plenty of rain this summer 😆
@@ash.pollard Haha. End of May beginning of June was summer. It skipped directly to autumn this year :)
Lovely, thank you both.😮
Glad you enjoyed it😊
Absolutely heavenly. All the best to you.
Thank you! You too!
Your depiction of summer in the Swedish countryside is a breathtaking escape into nature's tranquility. The way you capture the serene beauty and charm of the landscape is truly enchanting. It's like a gentle reminder of the simple joys and peaceful moments that summer brings. And I am Floating Village Life, Hit follow and let's explore together!
Oh what a beautiful, calm video! Swedish summer lakes, lazy bathing and fishing, old tractor in a field, a relaxed Ash working some more fire wood. I loved this one!
What more could one really want haha
Beautiful. I envie you so much. This was my life before. Mvh.KJ
I used to be a Honda mechanic, good bikes these. Main problem which I used to address is behind the silencer, is a bolt that will seize, I would take out at first service clean up and copper grease. The bolt is only Threaded near head then goes smooth. It locates onto hub to stop it turning when braking. Seem to remember it’s 14mm spanner.
Good to know! Will have a look at that next time it's on the ramp 👍
Loved every second of this. Thank you for giving us an insight to your life 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hiya you lovely people. Just curious to know are there cranes in the area you go or have been. A quest for you to catch them on your trips. If you choose to. From a older lady with a broken leg. Lots o love xxx
I live in this area and yes there are many cranes. Now in the middle of august they are gathering in flocks preparing for the trip to Africa.
@@ebptube thankyou
There is actually two of them standing in our field right now 😊 I think they are getting ready to leave now as I've not heard as many the last couple of weeks
gorgeous! I'm thinking the water is pretty chilly. That would be an exhilirating swim....The fish are probably big and firm......Nice.
Most of the time during the summer the water is around 20c which is quite nice after the first dunk 😄
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Simply beautiful, this is life as it should be. No second thoughts now about did we do the right thing but you did and then some. Recent events should confirm any doubts and you left a country that's in total ruin. No choice and no hope here, now that we have a dic tat man in charge. Your life and lifestyle will be envied by many viewers I'm sure.
I stopped looking a the news a long time ago. Even here I'm sure there is plenty of bad stuff going on, but if you don't look then you don't know 😊
Enchanting beautiful pictures of Scandinavian heavenly summer magic,, 💖🥰💖 I feel sooo blessed to be a part of this country,, 🇸🇪 Thank you ever so much for your time and work,, ❣🙏❣ Cheers,, 🍻🍻😎👍👍 ( Estrella Sourcream and Onion, Crisps,, 😋++ )
Those crisps are her favorite 😆
That was a nice compilation video, thank you. Moose have faces only a mother could love. 🤣 The high drone shot of the boat just shows how insignificant we are in the scheme of things. Hope all is good young man!!
Surrounded by that and Marie is still on her phone.. =)
@@user-mc8js1uj2p 🤷♂️ What can you do haha
I asked an MOT inspector (uk) a few years ago about brakes. He said he's only interested in brake efficiency and not how much pad was remaining. Every day's a school day. Check out how BJ and Seth do a tyre change: ruclips.net/video/I74KQ4601iA/видео.html
This brings back memories of my teenage years, where I also serviced my bikes. Very easy to do as you said and it was very enjoyable. Serviced and fixed my first few cars too but once they made it really difficult for the weekend home mechanic to work on, then that's when I lost interest in doing them.
05:36. The rumor says, theres a special oilplug, wrench and filter magnet, hidden in all catchpans,, 😅 Engine TLC, I love it. Whatever sort or size, they all seems to run soo smooth with a lick of new oil and filters,, 💖 Cheers Ash,, 🍻😎👍
Hahah it doesn't matter how hard I try, something always ends up in the oil 😆
@@ash.pollard 💖
Have you not got any ratchet spanners? They have saved my bacon on several awkward access nuts and bolts.
Yea I have a few different types, they are awesome 👌 problem here was I couldn't fit a torque wrench in for accurate tightening.
god vid on channel thanks lee
Cheers Lee 👍
Awesome job👍
looks good hard to believe its the same place without the snow on the ground
Wow, you have things going on! 😀 It really is looking like a homestead now.
Always something going on here!
Brilliant this Mate…hopefully there will be more videos on the cabin 👌🏻💪🏻🤞🏻
I'm sure there will be many 😊
@@ash.pollard happy days mate 👌🏻🙌🏻
3:00 mars rover has finally found life, as primitive as it may be 🤣
Looks good! Maybe invest in a more sturdy ladder😮 I keep worrying you would fall! 🤦♀️ old lady problems! 😂🤣
I think that would be a worthy investment 🤣
High summer in northern Sweden...enjoy it while it lasts.
Luckily we enjoy the winter just as much 😊
Cinematography on point as always 👌
Thanks 🙌
Brilliant bit of work Ash. Nice one 👍
Cheers dude
That turned out truly excellent with no real plan and odds and sods. You now have your own holodeck, being whatever you want it to be and videos made inside it, with the out of town feel. It should take on a nice wooden odour too, making a joy of a place to unwind.
Will be lovely in the winter with a stove going and looking out the big windows
An awesome man cave ! Well done, absolutely brilliant!!! A worthy successor to am-bol- east !!!!
As messed up as that time was, I really miss that little camp!
Oh ive always wanted a log cabin in the woods. ❤
Is it a bolt hole for you ash if you upset marie !!!! lol
Haha🤐
Good job Ash That’ll be a great spot in the winter with the stove going maybe an old gas bottle stove like your Iveco van
I was thinking that. Need to find me a bottle😄
good vid on channel nice build will nice ad of a build to the home stay thanks lee
Thanks dude👍
The swedes makes soMe awesome axes. They last a lifetime 👍🏻
Where do u buy 30 watt solar panel for 30$?
This is not a restoration 😂rather a good clean
What's the difference?🤷♂
Brilliant that will become a well used machine as you develop it, and your skills, it's only downfall, it makes an awful mess! 👍
That's proper good young fella, ĺove your resourcefulness. Very inspirational...
Thanks 😊👍 Seems to be holding up well so far!
Brilliant! You could add a lock nut on the tail stock as a minor addition.
Yea that's not a bad shout 👍
Brilliant Ash - love the speed controller ha ha! Thanks for sharing, Ringo
Keeping it simple 😄 Cheers 👍
Well done Ash I have done things like that Cheap Lidl work mate with a bit of ply on to and a circular saw and router screwed under I like your style
I'm not afraid to try anything haha 😄

Great mygyver lathe
Cheers 👍
