    I bought a big Honda brand tiller and when we moved into a house I became attached to the soil just by tilling the land. My aunts and uncles were farmers in those days and all they talked about at the get-togethers were crops and weather. When we leave this earth, all that is left is our children and that time and love spent with them is part of the gold in life. You made the right choice to direct life to be with the family. These years when children are young can only be taken one time. Good luck.

      It's almost the same here, as my mother and father both came from farming families. Growing up on a farm is great so I wanted my kids to have a chance at the same thing, though farming changes dramatically over the generations. When I was a kid it involved lots of hand work and help from friends. Those days are gone.

    One of my favourite channels is "rainfall projects", and I find his videos about farming at least as interesting as those about building projects

      Life is about making the right choices, It seems you are a natural at woodworking and farming but that shot of your son riding in the tractor with you shows that you are putting Family & Farm before the self/gratification of woodworking. 👍👍👍

    Timothy, I find myself re-watching many of your videos as I continually update my own woodshop. Hoping the family farming is going well, but also that you're finding time for your woodworking. Your content is missed, surely. All the best.

  • @toddbailey5198
    @toddbailey5198 6 лет назад +2

    I grew up on a farm as well and became a carpenter. Even as a retired carpenter now, I still wish I had gone back to the family farm. I would happily watch videos from out and about on the farm! All the best!

  • @WelshRabbit
    @WelshRabbit 6 лет назад +2

    Hello Timothy, unfortunately I discovered your channel only 2 days ago when I was looking for inspiration for my workshop equipment.
    You are a very gifted craftsman and it is a pity that you leave it now. On the other hand it would be a shame to give up your farm. Do as much as possible to make you happy.
    I will now watch the rest of the videos I do not know yet. Thank you for your work and greetings from Tirol / Austria

    Glad to hear you will continue with woodworking videos. Your videos thus far have inspired me a great deal and I thank you for sharing them. For what its worth, I'd watch farm videos as I find them quite interesting. All the best to you and your family in your future endeavors.

  • @raxxo69
    @raxxo69 6 лет назад +2

    Sorry to see you go. You were one of my inspirations to "think different" about woodworking, and one of the reasons I started posting to RUclips myself. I wish you the best, and thanks for everything, sincerely.

  • @Jimwho77
    @Jimwho77 6 лет назад +2

    Great stuff and glad to see you back. Funny how things go. I did less woodworking this year because I spent a lot more time in the garden. I went as far as buying a small Kubota tractor and have enjoyed it a lot. Totally understand your position. Look forward to future content.

  • @howardbecdove9780
    @howardbecdove9780 6 лет назад +1

    I just came across your video on the MFT cart and thought, this guy really knows what he’s doing. Then this one came up on my feed and I thought that I’d discovered you too late. After watching the video I realise that you just turned a negative into a double positive - win, win!
    I just subscribed, and I’m buying your plans, even if I don’t build the thing.
    Warmest regards from Australia mate.

  • @jeffcalaway7837
    @jeffcalaway7837 6 лет назад +2

    Love the farming video. I grew up on the farm and I am in agri-business. Now I have so many questions about farming in Belgium in regards to regulations, markets, labor etc. Hope to see a few more videos about farming mixed in with your excellent woodworking videos. Thanks!

    • @TimothyWilmots
      @TimothyWilmots  6 лет назад +1

      I have many questions too though, regulations, especially in organic farming are incredibly complex. Agri business is what destroyed conventional farming, now it's about avoiding those traps in organic or go a step beyond. My goal would be to develop local markets, as I feel that sooner or later the business will ruin organic as well.

    How great that you will be feeding so many people! I love both woodworking and food gardening. Way different than farming, I know, but still, there's something about seeing the food grow throughout the seasons that is enchanting.

  • @artatworkorg
    @artatworkorg 6 лет назад +2

    I am happy to see you are busy on the farm, my family are farmers and I know how dangerous the work can be. I was worried you had been hurt and so no new Videos. You are, as many have said a very inspiring designer and inventor. I love using my MFTC and appreciate the time and effort you put into this. As a maker, I know it is very difficult not to make things. I go crazy if I can't get the stuff out of my head and into the world. Keep up the good work on the land we need more organic farmers.

    Love all your videos, thank you so much for sharing them. I too had to give up woodworking as I moved into management and am just now getting back into it again. Your shop, organization and methodical approach has been very inspiring to me as I return to the craft. Farming is just a different medium with different tools, the dedication, skill and care is all similar. God bless, and continue the good work, which ever way it goes

    Nou breekt mijn klomp haha, jou RUclips kanaal net gevonden en me bij de vele video's al verbaasd over de grote schuren en massale ruimte die je creëerde voor de houtbewerking en nu lezende dat je fulltime agrariër bent vind ik gewoon geweldig!!
    Succes met je nieuwe uitdaging en nog meer succes met het houtbewerken in de vrije tijd (winterperiode) die er ook wel zal zijn!
    Zal je blijven volgen want zo te lezen word het heel interessant wat komen gaat in de combinatie van houtbewerking en het boerenleven!

Good luck in your future endeavors.

It's beautiful and I enjoyed watching you build it. I am sad for the goldsmiths who will not have the pleasure of working on one of your workbenches.
