Despite careful planning and preparation, obstacles have arisen...

MORE ABOUT ME
I'm Anne of All Trades. In NASHVILLE, I have a woodworking, blacksmithing and fabrication shop, a selection of furry friends, and an organic farm. Whether you've got the knowledge, tools, time or space to do the things you've always wanted to do, everything is "figureoutable."
I became "Anne of All Trades" out of necessity. With no background in farming or making things, I wanted to learn to raise my own food, fix things when they break and build the things I need.
8 years ago I got my first pet, planted my first seed and picked up my first tool.
My goal is to learn and share traditional techniques and skills while showing my peers how to get from where they are to where they want to go, how to do the things they are passionate about, and what can be done TODAY to engage their own community and grow deep roots.
Whether it's carving spoons, making my own hand tools, restoring my antique truck or growing heirloom tomatoes, the farm and workshop definitely keep me busy and support - whether financially through Patreon, through shopping my affiliate links, through buying merchandise, plans or project videos, or even just liking, commenting, and sharing my content with others helps me GREATLY to keep producing quality content to share.

"Self-sufficiency" is a misnomer. We should strive for community-sufficiency. Asking for help is ok. Having a community that you thrive in is better than surviving alone. Much love Anne
The Amish work that way. You can see them literally build an entire barn in a day, its truly incredible.
Absolutely! No one can be everything or possess all the necessary skills. Community is crucial!
Ann, thanks for being awesome!
Watching you on this journey has been such a privilege. No matter what mistakes you may feel you’ve made, those of us who get to witness you can see the many facets of your vision, motivation, skills, and strength alongside the circumstances and challenges, and to us you have NOT failed at all. You’ve triumphed against all odds. We’re so grateful for your honest reflections and for the honor to be part of your community, to benefit from your inspiring work and to contribute to what you create. We love you!
I had learning disabilities when I was in school...had learn by doing..it took longer and my teacher said I was "stupid"... now I'm 66 years.. I've had my own business as a contractor.. building houses and stuff like that.. teaching others to build.. because of my disabilities I know how to teach others.. You are a gift in teaching others how to do stuff in a traditional way... thank you for your videos..
Stop making me cry every time i watch one of your videos!! :) Such a great video Anne... Thank you for your vulnerability and your ridiculous determination.. Keep going!!
Aww, you're the best! 🙏
Yes, well said!
My daughter is 12 and she has learning disabilities. I have been watching your channel with her to help her see that it's going to be ok and help her relate to others like her. With this video, I think, you have just managed to convey the most important lesson, that I hope my daughter will take to heart. Thank you and good luck.
Doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will.
Yes! 1000x this!
We fail when we give up. Who knew this pandemic would change everything. These are lessons learned. You said it being self-sufficient requires a community
So happy to be a part of this and I can't wait to get back down to good Ol'Nashville to lend a hand again. This building is going to be AMAZING when we get it done. I get so excited thinking about the knowledge that will be passed down within the walls of that shop. Excited to see our maker family and do some learning! My two favorite things.
What part of NY? How cool that you joined in to help. Wow!
@@chowe9 I'm from Suffern NY! Border of NJ.
@@RojasCarpentry me, western NY.
New Yotkers are very neighborly folks! Let me know if you want to visit the Olympic peninsula in WA. State. I could use your help! Be well. ⚘️
I love that you share everything. It’s truthful and real. We need this in a world of chaos. Thank you for sharing a piece of yourself.
You got this, girl. Step by step, day by day, incremental progress. Massive respect for your skills but even more so for your honest reflection of this journey. That is what makes us grow more than anything else and is the measure of real success. With you in spirit!
I found your channel this morning during my coffee and youtube time. I don't know if all your videos are like this, but you are very inspirational and easy to relate to. I look forward to starting at the beginning and watching your story. Blessings
Anne, all of your so-called imperfections are what we love about you. You are truly an inspiration and any new video post is the highlight of my day. I really hope that all of the problems you are encountering with finishing the school could just vanish and let you turn the corner. Keep the faith, all your fans are pulling for you.
I love y'all so much! Rooting for you every step of the way!! Can't wait to come learn something from you in your school one day! You guys can and will do it! I believe in y'all!
I know that everyone who has been following along would agree that you would be the first person to help others if you see a need or were asked. You should never feel ashamed to ask for help when you need it. I believe in giving others the opportunity to receive blessings of helping others. When we are doing service to others, we are in the service of our God. Keep up the good work Annie, you have a heart of gold, I only ask that you stop making me cry. God bless.
Fellow Tennessean here. Not failure, just delayed satisfaction. Keep plugging!
Thank you for being so vulnerable and open 💛 Sending you so much love 💛💛💛
In an ironic twist, being vulnerable takes great strength. Thank you for sharing how things are going in your journey with the building! The internet is a weird place, but just by skimming the comments section for this video I hope it is obvious to you that there is a great community that supports you as a person, not just as a content creator.
Keep going Anne...we all love you and care about you.
I have a great deal of respect for you. It has been amazing to see what you have accomplished and how much you have advanced your skills. It is truly impressive! You will make it.
Thanks!
I cannot wait till my next trip to Tennessee so I can lend a hand again!! All of the struggles and setbacks so far will only make the finished results that much more satisfying.
I cannot wait to get to texas to lend a hand with the magic YOU are creating.
If I could call you one thing it would BRAVE! You are so incredibly BRAVE to venture out, test your bounds, admit your failings, ask for help. Too much online is of everyone's success. They are standing on the podium they build themselves. Admitting failure, heartache, dissapointment and showing once you fall off that horse you get back on is BRAVE! GO ANN!
I'm literally crying. Thank you for opening your heart like this ❤
Anne, life is a never ending learning experience. Asking/allowing people to help is NOT admitting failure or lack of skill. It is a sign of wisdom. Knowing you need help shows that you understand the complexity of the task at hand. Wish you all the best!!!
Your raw truth is refreshing - one day at time.. we all struggle and the best they say, what we learn in the failure make us stronger and that is the blessing. You blessed Lady. I agree with Billy you inspire. I subscribe today YAY
I took away that it takes a village to become self sufficient. That is not a bad thing as it builds community of similar minded people or people that just want to help others. Thank you for not giving up on your dream. You are an inspiration!
You're an inspiration, Anne. It's our vulnerability that makes us human, but our strength in spite of it that makes us warriors
Your an actual force of nature… keep being you! You got this. Thanks for sharing!
Hang in there, Kid. You got this.
Thanks
Oh my goodness. Thank you so much for the gift.
You have the right idea, “One day at a time!” You’ve got this.
9 days? Going to be tight but I’m betting on you guys.
You are a strong, confident woman !!! So talented!! 😂🇨🇦👍
Living in Australia obviously prevents me from being able to come and help but I would if I could.
If anyone can get it done in 9 days, you can. Keep the faith Anne!.
Thank you for contributing in such a vulnerable way to the narrative of interdependence. Your school is already sharing important lessons. There is NO SHAME in imperfection. That is baggage inherited from our culture. Thank you.
Stay positive...You got this girl!
I don't have childen, but something I learned from some dear friends watching them raise their 2 daughters is, "It's OK to ask for help." Their kids turned out great and excel at helping others.
Wishing you and Adam all the best!
Anne, you inspire me. I don't know how you do it all. You are very gifted. I feel exhausted just watching you work so hard. Take some time to sit back, rest, and watch the community you have created. WOW
Thank you so much! Very kind words and generosity. 🙏
Hey Anne... in short, you're my hero. I've watched for years but the videos about your struggles with the school and move are very meaningful to me personally. The past few years were tough for me as well and I like to say that I'm 100% on bonus time at this point. The only reason I'm here is because of love from my family, friends and God directly. Without it I wouldn't be here... I would've given up on everything. Even terrible days are a gift at this point. So thank you so much for your honesty and sense of humor.
It has been quite a struggle Anne. I am sure with your perseverance you will get it done
Dear Anje, I can't say much more to this vulnerable yet beautiful story other than WOW. A huge, meant, determined WOW from the Netherlands.
You are a rock star. And I have faith in you.
Dad of Some Trades. Priceless
A friend once said to me the only people that don’t fail are the people that don’t do any thing and when we come into big challenges break them down in to little prices and work at each one. Very true words and words that now mean do much to me. Keep pushing and u will get there. Love ur channel and what u are doing. God bless
I am feeling your pain. I lost a lot due to the pandemic and the hits keep coming 4 years later. I almost wish I could have seen what the results would have looked like if it hadn’t of happened so I could feel a little justified that I made sound decisions, but never did I factor in the world wide pandemic and the chaos after. We will recover and be ok. Just a painful, humbling experience. I appreciate you sharing your struggles, as well.
We cannot truly learn without making mistakes. Sometimes life throws things our way that we can't blame ourselves for. Be kind.... especially to yourself 💜
Your father’s advice is of great value; its just as valuable your able to listen and implement his advice. It creates a life lesson and solution.
Never underestimate your value to many thousands of others. Almost a quarter-million subscribers. I can’t even get my dog to listen to me…
🖖😎👍
your a true inspiration , you have done an amazing job so far and while there are set back you seem to have worked though them. hope you get things sorted for you friends wedding and hope and pray its a wonderful day for them . wishing you all the best and look forward to seeing the updates . Just one day at a time like you said .
You are a blessing to the world.
Aww Anne you’re a big sweetheart ❤️💫✨
geez I think there are some onions in the room or something! Great video, thanks yall
What great dad advice ❤
I still have the sign hanging high in my shop. "Dreams don't die, they PIVOT" Super inspired by all the hard work and dedication it's taken. Both physically, and emotionally (including all the personal "at home" stuff.}
You are an amazing person. Your journey is an inspiration to people who think that things can't get better. Keep moving forward and know that every step, forward or backwards increases your knowledge and skill set. You have made a huge difference in your life and you have allowed us to be a part and we are grateful. Keep your head up and know that you are loved and respected and that you have family all over the world. Keep up the hard work! You rock!
This is a noble task and will serve the world well. I'm in Arkansas and look forward to supporting your work in years to come.
Your reach knows no boundaries,
Your kindness shines so brightly,
Your heart warms up the coldest of days,
And your smile brings light where there is none,
Keep plugging along. For it is not the time in which one finishes their dream, it is just simply,, they finish.
All the best!
This is incredibly inspiring, thank you so much
It's our flaws and imperfections that make us unique. Celebrate them! There is no question in my mind that you will achieve your dream. Patience and persistence wins the day!
Even though you couldn’t just do it yourself (which I feel is not reality) you had to take a step back and ask for help.
This is life and I feel this is how lessons are taught. I watch two different boat builders of wooden boats and they wanted to build these boats and found out help was the most valuable commodity for the project.
You have taught more than you think. Keep with it the classes will come and at that time it will mean so much more. God bless.
When you ask for help you’re giving someone else the opportunity to do something that makes them feel helpful, feel included and possibly saving their life. Yes there are people that are that depressed when you ask them for help you are helping them. This school has taught you many things… so in a way.. it opened when it broke ground. Hell it opened when it became an idea in your head and I can’t think of any better way to start than with a wedding. A ceremony for the community and friends to come together to support a couple that want to help each other grow. This will be awesome no matter what? Stay tough little one!!!
Love ya, Anne! Best of luck & a happy journey preparing for your besties special day
Hey gorgeous human! The fact is, *not* showing or talking about the tough and the rough bits also just passes that sense of failure along to those of us who will inevitably fail when we’re inspired to follow in your footsteps. Mistakes and hurdles are great learning tools, no need to gloss over them. Of course starting a new life on a brand new farm is hard (even without all the extra work you’ve given yourself!), but if you don’t talk about the struggles you’re only telling half the story and you’re selling a fantasy.
Anne, you’ve taken on a shite-load, but it’s that over-exuberance that will get the job done! Even if it ends up looking different to what you originally imagined. Besides, we’ve all learned by now that things change. Sending positive vibes and gratitude from 10,000 miles away 😊❤️
What doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. It is going to be ok. Somehow, someway you will prevail. Stand Strong!
I for one am happy to cry with you, for you, along side you. We all have something to cry about, so let's get on with it, get through it, and get back to our challenges and joys. You're very brave Anne. Thank you for sharing so much of your life.
Your accomplishments are astounding. You could quit today and you will have done more than most ever. Your vulnerability is what is relatable. Please, however your path may change or not, never stop showing us your humanity in all you do. I admire you and relate to you because of your struggles more than any finished product.
Loved the video! The world needs more people like you, advocating that setbacks, failures, mistakes are not the end, but means that let you redo something, with better knowledge and upgraded skills. And I must say, WHAT a cliffhanger! :D
Your honesty about the failure is what allows those around you to see the very real and human side of setting big goals and not always having a paved, easy path reaching those goals. It allows us, your viewers, to realize our own dreams in life while being real about sometimes having to face defeat but also being mindful that we will rise up again no matter how long or how many tries it takes. Next time I'm feeling down about a goal I'm not accomplishing when or how I set out to, I'm going to remind myself, look what Anne did. If she can do that, I can do this 💪
oh my, what you have been through... I understand a small portion of it. We started a major remodel and addition to our home a year and a half ago and now we are up against a deadline to have 40 people here for a family reunion Christmas Party. We are currently waiting for shingles and tile and the list goes on. Honey, I come from a long line of doers who bite off more than they can chew. congrats, you're in the club! I'll pray for your deliverance.
I feel you. We started building a farm not too far away from you in TN and we are now entering year number 8 and still have so much more to do. Failure is how we grow, without it we aren't pushing and learning. And I've learned a lot in the last 8 years.
I will plan to be here in that nine days, never a problem. Anne, one of mankind's great charms is his of her lack of perfection, that not even the best of us could not be better tomorrow than today. You never stop reaching for your better switch- rather you seem to draw it out of others. Hold your tears for what will be, what you and those close to you will have brought to be. And if it isn't quite what you first saw it as, well, it too can be improved! Tomorrow! FR
MY son is going through similar issues with his 40 acre homestead in Virginia. Hang in there Anne. In the 2020's it still takes a village :)
In Australia we would call you a battler, a complimentary term referring to your stick-to-it-iveness and belief in a dream. Bloody good on ya!
So proud of you! Watching your journey makes me feel like I have a third daughter. You'll get there.
One thing to remember is we are all flawed and imperfect. I, in my life love helping people in need. I tend to get as much out of it as the people I help. It’s not an admittance of failure to ask for help, it’s realizing your limits and being strong enough to ask for that help.
Girl... failure isn't shameful. Failure is the best way to learn. It's the fastest way to grow. If you're afraid to fail, you're holding yourself back. Failures should be celebrated and shared to help others learn with you.
It IS hard to ask for help, though. I learned the same lesson you did that DIY often means it'll cost significantly more than if you hired a pro. Knowing your limits is an ongoing challenge.
I'm glad you put out this video because I have been thinking about your last one for a while and wondering how you're doing. I'm glad your community has stepped up to show you that you're not alone and that they've got your back.
Congratulations on your growth. It’s not comfortable and not easy.
Thank you for sharing. If I lived close by I'd help you in a heartbeat.
Anne your a Legend keep going Live the dream we only get one life don't let bastards grind you down.
I wish there was a button that was more thank "like". You're doing an amazing thing!
Anne, you are an inspiration with your honesty from your deep down in your heart. You are a beautiful person and will do great and wonderful things in your school as soon as the barn is completed. Please keep plugging along and reach the desires of your heart.
Keep it up sister! We've all been there, done that. You are an impressive person. You skills, insight and diligence are inspiring. In all honesty God is the only reason I have gotten as far as I have, and He is there for YOU! Love, Faith and Diligence!
We feel your pain, Anne! Persistence wins- it’s the only thing that wins, actually. One day at a time is right on.
You are amazing. Thank you for your passion!
I think the most uplifting thing I have ever read, is the comments on the video 2 years ago. The amount of kindness shown there is almost overwhelming. You are a great inspiration, both as a crafts(wo)man and a person. Keep it up!
Hi Anne, my family and I live in Arrington. I’m def happy to help. I’m sure my wife and daughter would love to help too. Let us know. Be well, M.
Thank you for sharing the naked truth and disclosing what could be considered a failure until you compare what "failed" to what you have achieved including the community building ! Congratulation for this 👍
I'm confident for the wedding (and Insta possibly spoiled your cliffhanger 😋)
Anne, I admire your courage and the strength to show your vulnerability.
I know how it feels to be labelled as slow educationally. My teachers never really understood me,neither did my classmates. But I have lived a pretty good life since leaving school at the age of 18. I have worked at so many different jobs. I have worked at Buckingham palace and met most members of the royal family including Diana, now I am retired and living in the Philippines, been here since 87.
We are so far from controlling just the weather, why do we believe we can control everything in our lives. You CAN control how you interact with others. Showing the courage to ask for help, to say “I don’t know,” and the humility to say, “I may have been wrong,” is what opens us up to the generosity and kindness of others. Your school is already a huge success in that you have learned so much. I look forward to the day I can take a class from you and your maker circle at your facility and bring a group of good friends with me. Chin up! Life is a challenge but the rewards are so much sweeter when the bar is high. Love seeing Greg P there helping out. Such a class act. I will be at his shop on Monday.
One of the hardest things to understand is, by letting people help, you give to them.
Thank sis for sharing sometime we thing we can do it all by ourselves not knowing that we need other people to help us fulfill a dream. May God help us above all.
Nothing to be ashamed of. I didn't take on any thing as big as your project. Just a major extension doubling the size of my house. I estimated it would take 6 months start to finished. It took 2 years. Most of that was fighting to get council approval. in the end I probably knew planning and construction standards better than the roadblock who had to give approval. The actual build took 6 months including the inevitable delays scheduling trades on site and weather problems plus the fact I did most of the work myself with the help of family. Dig in and keep going. You'll get there.
I believe in you ann
Ah! Good to see Dando in this!
Best of luck to you, pulling for you to come through the challenge.
Heart of gold….
What a beautiful video Anne. 💖
im in the same boat in a lot of ways. bought a house and 54 acres in a quiet community, went to put some nice hard wood flooring in and .... the house is a disaster. had to repair and solid fill the basement block, replacing subfloor right now and some framing, fixing the hidden water damage, i didnt realize i was completely rebuilding the house... ive worked my butt off on this house , no help =), bought it in December figured id be in February or early march. ill be lucky if i have enough done to move in by December of this year. i know its hard, i know how those overwhelming moments feel. keep your head up, you have a ton of people behind you . wish you the best of luck.
Hola! 🖐Thanks for this update video. I join many others rooting for you. I hope your friend has a nice wedding, I'm sure you will figure out how to get it ready. Take care and have a good one, Adios! 👊
Sad to hear, I stop watching at that time you released that video and though you walked a way from RUclips. Glad to see you have been able to adapt and over come your problems, hard to do. Thank you for your story and putting it out on RUclips. Have a great week.
Yup. You are an inspiration regardless of where you are on this journey. Up or down. Achieving or heading back to the drawing board.
I am on a similar timeline as I too left Seattle to build my dream elsewhere. It's been like standing on shifting sands. Very difficult. Very expensive. Vendors over charging and being disrespectful. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone and that I'm better to connect to community rather than isolate.
Your an awesome person, an inspiration. To keep moving forward when the odds seem against you is testament.
