Andrew you are the only youtuber with over 1,000,000 subscribers which have NOT turned into an A-hole.
I love your personality & content.
Totally agree, not once has he begged anyone to subscribe or smash the like button in the generic youtube fashion. It's an honour to watch his videos around the world and see a snapshot of his working day or projects
Nah. Cleetus is a class act.
100%!!! thank you so much!!! ANDREW!!!!!
Matt's offroad recovery has over a million and he is a good guy
No he isn't (the only one). You have a very narrow perspective on things, I suggest you go broaden your horizons. Markiplier, LordMinion777, Jacksepticeye, muyskerm to name but a few. There are others, it's up to YOU to expand your own narrow mind, not for me to school you.
A few years ago if someone told me that my favorite show to watch would be some guy cutting down trees crushing rocks building a house out of containers and best of all blowing up stuff and fixing just about everything that breaks. Thanks Andrew Camarata.
Nice seeing old Lacey. I just had to say goodbye to my 15 year old dachshund. Hardest thing I’ve ever been through. She was like your dogs…always with me, and always up for an adventure. I miss her so much. Peace.
Thanks Andrew for introducing us to Sam. She’s a hard worker. Appreciate your videos! Great scenery! Hope your foot heals soon!
She? i thought it was a guy.
@@galdessa1 hahahaha! what’s it’s pronouns?
Trying to look like Andrew I guess.
With the sheer amount of equipment you have it would save you time if you installed jumper plugs on the equipment you are constantly jump starting. Plug one end into your truck the other into the equipment. A good solid connection. Plus you could outfit you battery charger with a plug too. Just a thought. Great channel keep up the good work. And be safe.
They sell small solar panels with magnetic bands to stick to equipment. They are a battery maintainer. They are not that expensive. I believe he could use several of them.
Exactly, having those big Anderson paddle plugs on the front and rear of my trucks has made jump starting, plow and sander hookups and receiver winch use SO much easier.. not to mention other things like DC-AC inverters and a electric hydraulic pump…
ive been making light stands out of rock for some years, to stop splash back i used a flat piece of plastic around the shaft of the bit, also using extensions, largest one i made was a 8ft x 3ft x 1ft for out door lamp, many table lamps of granite, sandstone, marble and many other types of rock....
The great thing about that is it’s built to last.
Totally Tractors here. I had the honor of meeting Andrew at the Catskill Boat launch a few weeks ago. He is a nice guy and took a few minutes to shake my hand . Love his videos
Best part was I talked to him like we were best friends. Cause his videos see him all the time. But he didn’t know me😂😂but still took time out to shake my hand.

It was nice to see lacy, we all miss Levi. As always love the content.
Hey Andrew! I have learned a lot from watching you over the years. You’ve actually been a tremendous inspiration to me. I really really hope you see my comment.
I was disabled when I first found your channel. I have a rare, incurable autoimmune disease and was unable to walk for many years. At the time I found you, I had been sick for 12 LONG years. I couldn’t care for myself or my family. My husband did everything for us. That’s how severely ill I was.
When I started watching you, something inside of me was in the process of changing; a switch flipped. I can’t explain it. I found myself wanting to build and fix things. I started with small DIY house projects - something about watching your videos taught me how to repair things/do things myself. That’s when my illness started to go into remission and I began woodworking.
I had never thought of welding until I became inspired watching you repair your heavy machinery. After watching you weld your home and your video about welding, I knew I had to try it.
Well, here I am a couple years later and I’m in my last semester of welding school. I am 49 years old, was disabled for 14 years total but now I’m in full remission. I don’t think I would’ve ever thought of picking up a welder if it wasn’t for watching your videos. I love welding and am hoping to rejoin the workforce as an industrial welder.
I want to thank you for being an inspiration to me, for helping me explore ideas I wouldn’t have thought of on my own. I now have a fully stocked metal/wood-shop, can repair just about anything, build anything and am not afraid to try new things. I also have my strength and my health back.
I couldn’t thank you enough for being the inspiration I needed to help me change my life.
Please keep making videos. I enjoy watching you so very much.

Impressive story....Glad your doing better💪
Dear Shasta.
👍👌👏 Fantastic story, thanks for sharing! Congrats for being healthy again.
Best regards, luck and health.
That's an awesome story! Congratulations Shasta! I hope you have many more good years to replace the bad ones!
Fantastic. You could make videos also . Welding is a great trade and you can make art too. I am glad you are better . continued good luck on your schooling
What an amazing story! It's good to hear you're doing so much better!
Andrew, it's a good day when you come out with a video. It's a window of peace and zen in an otherwise busy day.
Would be less busy if you got off youtube ;) kidding
Who's Sam? It's not the first video I see this lady.
Seek psychiatric help.
@Freddy Muldoon I don't think that model is Sam. I wondered if it was, but then,,, no way,,, can't be.
@@tiddiesprinkles jjjj
Nice Vid as always! Small tip from an operator, only hammer about 15 seconds on spot and then move onto another. When you hammer on spot for a longer period you will heat up the hammerbit and remove its hardening. That means the bit will be wore down much faster and dont forget to grease the hammer
I'd agree with you too Tim and also don't use the hammer as a prybar. It puts stresses on the internal parts of the hammer.
At the beginning Andrew makes a stand for his hammer thing, and then tells us the importance of said stand, but at the end, his hammer is laying on it's side in the dirt, 😆, great video as usual Andrew, thanks for sharing.

Andrew it's too bad that you don't have a portable Rock crusher.
With all that rock on that mountain you could crush it and build a awesome gravel road to the top of your property without it getting muddy.
I would bet a dollar he recently bought one. I do not know just a guess
When they were widening Route 3 north of Boston they blasted out a lot of granite in the high spots, and crushed it to fill in the low spots and make the base for the paving.
there Is a guy in Montana makes small crushers on trailer truck body .
I need one.
Well, as they blasted the wall Andrew had enough gravel and crushed stone to build a few miles of driveway with it. XD
But the main part of it was used to expand Andrews parking space.
Dear David Wolf.
I don't know if I remember correctly but I think to have seen Mr. C. using such a crusher hanging on a skid steer or on an excavator. Or was it only a kind of sieve to sort out the usable stuff?
Best regards, luck and health.
I just spent 30 minutes watching little rocks made from big rocks. Loved every moment of it. Nice to see a young person learning skills. Wish I could get my grandson in the shop with me once and awhile.
Just turn off his wifi. :)
No work, no eat!
I wish I would find someone to take me into a shop to learn metalworking etc. lol.

🇨🇦 Hey Andrew, I doubt you read many comments if any but here goes…. Been watching for a few years now and it has inspired me to quit working that “good paying union job” and just strike out on my own… doing all kinds of similar stuff and loving it. Shoulda done it years ago….And woo! Wee! the paper is rolling in!!
Hey, where in Canada are you. I live in New Brunswick and am wanting to do the same thing. Any advice?
Sam, you are a heck of a hard worker.
I have very little experience “working” with solid rock…much respect to those craftsman who have, especially those before power tools!
Been a fan for years Andrew. Just wanted to say please be careful hammering towards the machine especially in an open cab. Love the content keep it coming.
I had total knee replacement a month ago and I’ve been on a binge of rewatchin your videos I really enjoy em and appreciate the time you take to make them I always look forward to a new one
Sam adds a great new element to the videos!
I think the only way to have equal force on the o-ring would be to hang it up by the body. As in, the chisel end must have no force on it. Currently the way the drill leans means there is a side force on the chisel.
or he could just cut the top surface perpendicular to the hole and voila
That’s exactly hat I was thinking. Cool idea but he’s better off Laying it on the side and then have a jack to make the chisel level with the jack and have no force on it
@@dantekeskin1512 or stack a few pieces of board and shimmed with a wooden wedge until pressure is off of the o-ring
@@Christoph-sd3zi yep 👍🏽
@@Fogyt121 in theory if the hole is the exact size it would be fine to. But it just looks very top heavy stood like that.
I’m lucky enough to live in the north of Scotland which is truly beautiful, but I envy your mountain hideaway when the trees are in leaf, it’s absolutely breathtaking Andrew 👍🏻🏴
That’s why so many of our Scottish settlers chose the Appalachian Mountains for their new homesteads, reminded them of Scotland 🏴 in many ways😊
@@tmacmi9095 There is way more to this than you speak of as the Scots-Irish were seeking total political and religious independence from the "powers that be" even in the "new world" as they had been persecuted in what we now call the UK. In the southern Appalachians We were the "Over the Mountain Men" or "Wautaugans" who specifically disobeyed the british royalty by colonizing an area "over the mountains" that by the monarchs of Europe had been agreed to as land that was not open to colonization by free white settlers. The rugged natural beauty of the mountains was surely an attractive feature to the Scots-Irish but the political, social, economic, and religious separation as well as a thumbing of the nose at the crown was a far more important reason for the heavy colonization of the Appalachians by my ancestors.
@@mrwrightoser8293 Yes I do remember reading something about that a while back. It makes perfect sense given what they went through in Great Britain. Thanks for the info! My Scottish ancestors settled in Nova Scotia, Canada. More specifically Cape Breton Island, another beautiful mountainous area. Still have some relatives up there.
@@tmacmi9095 Nova Scotia is bueatiful and strikingly closer in resemblance to Scotland than most other parts of North America. I was raised in between two small towns in Virginia (one so small that half of it is in Tennessee) and we were lowland Scots McEwens from the Isle of Whyte originally. Been all over Canada and the UK (excepting the north of Ireland in the summer of 1979) but I can see why the Clans would have seen the resemblance to Scotland in Nova Scotia vs. my Southern Appalachian Highlands home.

Glad to see you have help once in a while. Nice job on both rocks. Keep 'em coming. Excellent content.
Andrew loves your videos iam from stkitts the Caribbean loves watching your videos everyday I have to watch your videos before I go to work
Hey Andrew you somehow make mundane excavation really interesting. Your video skills are really impressive, it's better watching your videos than any Hollywood production. Hope your foot is doing well and stay safe ☮️🇺🇲
Those big hammer drills drink a lot of amps. When I was in the equipment rental business, I warned customers to not exceed 50' of 12 gauge extension cords though we liked 10 gauge 50' extension cords better. So many customers burned up those tools by running 100' of 18 gauge extension cords! Those big electric tools need both 120' volts and the appropriate amperage too. When they don't get enough amps, they burn up the stators and amatures.
Good call that was a 12g wire. Not sure of length.
@@AndrewCamarata I think a big part of the issue here was insufficient water. You showed a large chunk of dryish sludge and also got your new drill stuck too. This is generally due to insufficient water I had new staff kill drills and drill bits and cutting blades the same way . That sludge is like quick sand, it is also thixotropic meaning it gets thicker and stickier when it's agitated or spun.
Background, stone mason and owned a stone masonry business for a few years... retired now due to ill health,
I love watching videos where your girlfriend is involved. I wish my wife would get more involved in the various aspects of maintaining equipment like your gf does but she is not interested in that side of things. I have always been grateful that she wants to mow and maintain the yard and take care of the shrubbery/trees immediately outside the front of the house as well as help mow and maintain the back yard. I can't complain one bit about my wife cause she does alot that I would normally have to do. So I def respect your gf for what she does. Love the vids man.

Never a shortage of recliner engineers. Good job Andrew Looks great
There are core drills in ancient egypt, too. Twice your diameter, multiple times the depth, continouus spirals, best of all, drilled in granite.
Nothing is impossible when you have decades to build, an unlimited budget and thousands of slaves 😅😅

There's a saying that the person with the most toys at the end of the game wins. I think Andrew is well on his way. He has lots of neat toys that I only dreamed of owning.
No one wins, it's all stardust
@@Ljosi What ever???🫤
I love that part where Andrew is driving the truck down the highway thru the mountains then up a trail. That road looks like a beautiful place to ride my motorcycle. The trail looks like a good place to ride an adventure touring bike as well.
Nice job Andrew . That big chunk of slate rock made some decent material once broken up. Pretty soon you’ll have a nice road to drive on. Good to see you in action despite the foot injury. Hope it heals soon.
Aaaah, did I miss something ? What's with his foot ?? 😳

@BMW M3 S65B40 Prolly broke it in Sams ass after he seen she cut all her hair off? LOL
You are making progress! You do such a nice job cleaning and grading it back into the woods, it really looks good.
Wish I could make small rocks from big rocks then pile them together. This guys a genius.
Great video Andrew, Not even a serious injury stops this man living life. Take it easy and recover
Great video Andrew, was waiting for the next one! Sam has officially arrived now 👌🏻
If you want to make a through hole, it makes sense to cut the center hole completely with a long drill first. This way the water can flow out though the center hole, and you don't have the sludge built up in the hole. :)
They didnt care, they were just drillin that rock cause they had nothing better to do LoL
@@roblochjr3958exactly.
Andrew I love what you did with that huge hunk of rock, you turn it into a bunch of small gravel and made a nice road, nicely done, You're really inspirational.
Andrew, yet another totally absorbing video. I used to watch the Discovery channel to get stuff like this! Keep em coming !
Hope your foot get well soon Andrew. Always nice to see a new video once in a while :)
To steal a line from a popular song, “ Do what you love and call it work”. Andrew has it figured out. Also, Sam fits right in and contributes mightily to the videos!
Yes she adds another dimension of skill and ability. Nice to see her for who she is and appreciate her input without the stereotypes and pervy nature you'd expect elsewhere
I've never seen Cody and Blue so eager to get in the truck as when it was raining on them. Even though they are water dogs, they apparently like the water below them and not falling from the sky.
Another great video Andrew.
Yeah, and it has to be muddy, dirty water.
Food for thought... that rock has probably been there for a couple million years or more, and just like that in less than a day it met its Camarata demise, never to be forgotten and always remembered via a Camarata video :)
Nice to see Lacey.
Thanks for that.
cool. I literally bought a tiny excavator for my small city lot, and you just doing you was a big influence!
The driveway at the property has many sections that need rock broken up and dozer work .... how about a nice long video showing all the road improvements, I'm sure it would be epic
Myself at near 70 year-olds you are living the American dream where hard work and perseverance are a testimony as why the reward for honest work repays you for your effort. a fan for many years, make what you have work for what you need, a fan for ever , what ever your hard earned you tube gains are a fan forever.
The last drone shot was a 9.5/10. Great Video!
A rock drill attachment for the skid steer would be useful in your area Andrew. Even if you can't use explosives you can get a liquid that's poured into the holes that expands and breaks up large boulders. They also make a hydraulic feather and wedge that you can put into the holes to break up boulders. As mush rock as you get into while working for people and now on your own property I'd look into some of these things. As a business owner you might be able to get certified as a blasting contractor and be able to use explosives. Drill and blast like those guys did for you in the equipment storage yard. You're always buying different equipment to have just in case the need arises that you'll need it for a job this would just be something else you could advertise you can do. Another trick in your bag of tricks.
Certified as a blasting contractor? No! No! No! He only has a hurt foot now. Don't want him to lose life or limb.
What a beautiful property! I'm so glad you take the time out of your life to share what you do. I have enjoyed every video. You've inspired me to learn small engine repair, welding and even just getting out there and doing stuff outdoors.
You are very generous with your time and your energy is an inspiration. Thanks, we done 👍
For a moment there I was thinking you were making a base for the lamp post ?? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
Same here! XD Especially since he broke the lamp post he had set up as they blasted the wall.
I was hoping to see fast motion compacting at the end. Thanks Andrew for great content.
My toddler and I enjoy watching "Andrew Fix It" Hope all is well.
Gods Blue has gotten so big! Cody was like if you helped Blue into the truck then you got to boost me too.
I see you have a boot on. Hope you are doing ok. So happy to see a video from you today! Always interesting Andrew!
Great video as always. Hope your leg heals up fast! 🤘
I enjoy watching you work. Thank you for taking the time to film, edit, and post!

When I see you lifting the pups up into the military truck, it reminds me of you lifting Levi up into your pick up truck, and I get misty eyed all over again.
Andrew Camarata: The only man that can make a mole hill out of a mountain.😂
Mr. Blue has done some serious growing. Oh Lacy, you’re a beautiful gracious lady, it’s so good to see you again.
Excellent drone shots. Good to see lacy again but it got me remembering Levi. That pup is seriously missed!
Maybe a small tip: you should make a stand/stair for the dogs to get easy in the truck (and it's good for your own back ;) )
The intrinsic problem with using a hammer drill on rock is, as we see in your video, the second one: you have to put weight behind them. I had to bore out rock and burned up more bits than my boss was comfortable with. Don’t know if you were boring with an industrial diamond cutter hole saw but they sure work better that most. Great videos. Always look forward to “The Adventures of Andrew Camarata and his Machines of Awesomeness” videos.
The Florida pool pump motor repair guy, approved ! that was good info, thanks Andrew. The motor on that drill is toast !
Seeing a boulder disintegrate like a giant Butterfinger bar is so satisfying!
As Always, a joy and pleasure to watch. Thank you and hope your having a good summer Andrew.!
Get well soon!
How did you break it?..
Also, I've seen a lot of people doing a lot of jobs, but seeing you doing you is addictive.
The work is clean the videos are clean... I appreciate your work man.

Broken
Broke for no reason
with half the work he does I could only guess what he did to break his ankle.

The 1st question I have is what in the world have you done to your foot? I totally enjoy your videos very enlightening and very enjoyable keep it up I love what you did to your road and the proper use of The rock splitter is what I call it At the end when you brought Lacey out out and you said it was Levi's girlfriend , it brought tears to my eyes, Believe it or not I missed him
Probably sprained an ankle or something, it happens when walking on uneven terrain
Broke a foot bone, running at night with untied shoes, tripped in a hole breaking the bone
Miss levi also.🐾
I also miss Levi.
his ankle broke for no reason. he's making a replacement out of rebar soon.

I will never stop loving the zoom out with music at the end of the videos. We haven't seen what andrew is doing on top of the mountain this year yet... Is he doing grass, making a camping ground or just going to tear it up with the quads?? hahaha hope your foot is doing better
Sam is cool. I know a girl just like her. Not afraid to get dirty.

Another great video. I see the cast and in a friends video I see you on a skate walker. Must have bunged up that leg pretty good. any juicy details? Any footage? Inquiring minds want to know. Wishing you continued success and fast healing.

Just another great video from Andrew! I hope you are healing well with your injury. Thank you for all your videos and please keep them coming. Also I really like the link to the merchandise. Good stuff. I am looking to get a few things from the merch store. Your a great you tuber Andrew. Great stuff. Once again thank you
Was his injury mentioned in a previous video?
I dont know what happened or if it is even mentioned.
"this is stupid" sounds about right when it comes to rock drilling. I was called to help finnish a project the other day and drilled a couple of holes to split a stone in half and it took me a good hour to do it even thou the holes were small and stone was small not the mention the dust.
Being a retired underground miner, water is always required not only to keep the dust down but to cool the bit down.
Perfection and persistence as usual Andrew!
Seeing a new video out by Andrew is always a treat 👍
Nice to see you are making strides, having fun and able to work again Andrew. Although you should be mindful not to reinjure it. You certainly have a good assistant to be your third hand. Kind of reminds me of the way I used to help my Dad. She is very quick and alert.
