Sam and Angela, you guys have saved my emotional sanity. I had started watching your channel several months ago and enjoyed the content. My husband was sick, in and out of the hospital and your videos gave me a much needed break away from the stress. Unfortunately, he passed on September 20th and I have never felt so alone. I decided to go back to the earliest video I could find of yours and start from the beginning. I have watched you from NC to TN and just about everything in between. You two work so well together and reminded me of how my husband and I would take on a project and get it done. I have to admit, there were some tears watching but the "bloopers" have made me giggle and laugh when I didn't think I could. I have enjoyed watching you teach your children valuable life lessons along the way and watching them grow and mature right before my eyes. I reached this latest video and decided to add this comment to let you know that I am so thankful for the videos, content and company you provide. You are a true joy to watch! I know it's hard to work and video but keep them coming, please!! 😘😉 Bless you and your boys. Angie
Your comments show that video creators never know who will benefit. My story is a bit different from yours, but going through some rocky times and videos such as these are a spark of light that really helps a lot. Regards from the Ozarks.
I'm enjoying all of the projects. Wouldn't mind an update on the garden and fruit trees and such.
Agreed and you all deserve chicken and waffles ❣️
You two are so cute together ❤ Angela has the best giggle !!
Sam , your new workshop is going to be awesome. I’m not a mechanical/ technical kinda gal - but I’ve watched a few of your videos ; and you are so natural on camera, genuine and so dang intelligent !!! Angela got her a keeper 💕 !!
That is a brilliant idea Sam. Most people don't think about making a ditch to keep water away from your building. Water is a big enemy of buildings
That tractor has come in very handy, great investment for the home.
I actually started watching Sam on Samcraft for the laser stuff and then started watching the Homestead. Love both.
It may be convenient to have a breezeway or passage between the two workshops. Make it easy to move from one to another.
You're spot-on! I plan to do just that after the new shop is built. I don't want to tear into my current one until it can be sealed up very quickly. I'll have a lot more info on it on the Samcraft channel. :)
I can't wait to see that video. As they say Great Minds think alike! 🤪
You could make it a hidden door and still have tools and the like on it as to not impede on making videos. That would be a cool intro.@@GreenAcreHomestead
I love these two! 😄
“Ooh look there’s some marks on the ground “- it’s a start. I have enjoyed this great start looking forward to more updates. 🙏👍🌻
Love your ginger supervisor.
Still one of my favorite channels. Love watching you build your dreams and future.
Thank you!
Wow! Great to see you getting a bigger work shop. You do so many good things in it. So glad your finally starting this new build!
That shop is going to be awesome. 😆 it was funny watching the cat chase the tape measure. Wait what 😆 pancakes and nuggets. That’s definitely something I have never heard of 😂
Nice to see your ginger supervisor. Every building site gets a cat in charge
I know, right?
@@GreenAcreHomestead I used to have a ginger male, he was an absolute slave driver. But cute as
Can't wait to see how this project progresses. Everyone has a dream workshop and currently used shop.
Great job Sam! You’re being stalked! Lol
The cat wants to help you! Lol I love all of your outside projects. I’m excited for you all!
I wondered how long it would be until you needed the bigger shop. Don't get me wrong, I long the shop you built but even with my meager tool collection I have and want, I would overfill it pretty quick, and you have the better collection by far. I wish I could build a bigger workspace but alas that is what I get for living in a townhouse. I just get to live through your family's adventures which I love to watch all the things you guys do.
You should increase the size that way you can add a loft. Because at some point you will have to make more space for the soap shed .
Or find a way to combine the two to your new building. You don’t want to have 17 out buildings in the future
You should start looking at building a barndominium with a house up stairs and a big shop downstairs
It will be much cheaper in the long-run
Well begun is half done. Great start!
If someone feels you are being too picky, just remember you are build this for yourself, and the only opinion that truly matters is yours and Angela's.
Wow Sam this is going to be a really nice size for you! Looking forward to the build!
You and me both! 😁
Nuggets and pancakes sounds great! Perfect meal after a hard day's work.
Take care and God Bless.
I kept looking at that spot when the pole barn type structure was going up.
With it being symmetrically square for the most part with the work shed, I thought something should go there.
I thought more on the lines of some kind of landscaping feature
Sam had a better idea😊
Don't know what the future is for the current work shed. But it's possible to connect them together at some point.
Wishing you the best of success
I enjoy all of your projects you and Angela do and it’s your opinion that matters most you two are very special and amazing people ❤you’re superstars I totally respect and admire you both 💪🏻👊🏻👍
Good for you! You're growing your business! Glad you have the room to expand! 😍😀👍❤
Me too!!
Hi great idea with the screws 👏👏😎😎 work smarter not harder xxx
My boy enjoyed your last shop build series, I'll let him know you're starting another build. We'll follow on the other channel.
Sam is the fastest builder around or at least Angela makes him look like it. 😂Great job. Looking forward to this build.
Well I guessed wrong, never thought about a New SAM'S WORKSHOP But Awesome. Loved Watching but I was Intrigued by the KITTY CAT 🙀 & the plumbob and the strings !! 😂 Sam hoped it has cooled down there now, you were having heat memory lapse.. ANGELA I'LL HAVE PANCAKES & NUGGETS, SOUNDS GOOD 😂 God Bless You All
Good afternoon Sam and Angela , nice to see you again .
After your fourth laser, I knew that you would be building a bigger workshop. Looking forward to watching you build the new space on both channels. Love all you videos family fun and techinical.
Your Orange Cat is a big helper. at least it seems to think so.
He loves to supervise for sure!
Love your videos and enjoy watching them. May the lord bless and protect you and your family
Same to you!
Awesome new project. May I ask why you are bunching the buildings all together?
I like both your channels. Looking forward to watching you create your workshop. 💕💕🎶🎶
Thank you so much!
Looking forward guys to watching your progress. Cheers. 😊
Great progress
Nuggets and pancakes. Poor man’s Chicken and waffles! 😁 Love it!!
😁
Angela sausage or bacon are the meats that go with pancakes, yummy. I love breakfast for dinner 😁
Hi Sam, looking good so far. One step at a time.😊
You do you Boo Boo! Great job!
I have been busy today and just noticed you posted
Great job 👍
So funny to see your ginger cat in the background❤😂
Enjoy your new shop.😊 You need the room.
so glad you're building a workshop then leaving the other for filming 💕
You guys are just AWESOME! Love the videos 💜
Thank you so much!!
So happy for you! Thank you for sharing! Love watching your channel!congratulation on 100k love watching Samcraft!,
Thanks so much!!
So glad you know what you are doing I would be so lost. You looked cute trying to do it alone. I would have dropped my stuff half a dozen times but never saw that happen to you once. Must be a juggler also!!
Interesting project
I love your videos!! God's blessings to your beautiful family!
cat was there aproving every mark.
You are making me jealous. I want a new shop too. I'm looking to buy a new house soon, and I'm hoping to buy one with more space for a shop. It's awesome that you are building a new shop and I look forward to seeing the build. Stay awesome.
Hopefully you can enjoy living vicariously through me while you house shop. :) Who knows.. maybe you'll get a great one with a shop space already built!
Yea 🎉 a new project. So exciting!
Sam you have done amazing job everything you have done I am 60 years old I couldn’t done all that your wife is amazing too your place is going to look beautiful when you get done ❤
Very exciting!
I enjoy seeing all your projects get done, but I'm wondering when the outside of the mobile home is going to be painted?
I’m looking forward to when they do that. It will be a brand new house then 😃
Awsome! im curious if you two are still able to do all of these projects without financing/borrowing money. It may not be any business of mine but you did make that a big point in the beginning. Great videos!
Agree. If they are willing to talk about money I'm very interested. I think a lot of us have very similar interests in building stuff like this and likely similar incomes. It's nice to have an ally who isn't super wealthy who keeps budget in mind.
I've worked hard to grow my business and other income sources with jobs and saved money for a while for this and our carport project. They've been big hopes of ours for the last year and we're blessed to be able to make them a reality now. We have not taken on any debt for this work. If we cannot afford it, we tend to not do it and occupy ourselves otherwise while we save money.
@@GreenAcreHomestead that is wonderful!!!
I ❤ the two of you and your channels!!
Angela for your protein with pancakes and some crumbles up bacon or sausage into the pancake batter.. yum!!!
You're really going to enjoy having a big shop again. I'm happy for you!
Yall are always doing more! Awesome.
Glad to see you getting a bigger shop😊
That’s going to be a big building 🇬🇧😊
LOVE watching youse “guys”
fun productive projects!
Thanks for another great video
I just watch and subscribe to both!
Hello from Ohio, enjoy watching you all,
nice i enjoy both channels yall have a super great day
Nuggets and pancakes 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love it!!!!!!
Good job❤
Love your energy! Good luck!
Thank you so much!!
Youz have done so much already. Love the channel. I first ran into you when you were putting a metal roof on the house.. stay well. Bobby
My wife and I really enjoy watching your videos but one thing I think would be nice ,and many other you tube bloggers do, is actually name 😢the people that send you the amazing presents you receive. Times are hard for lots of people and for them to send you something to help you in you homestead building it would be very special to them if you actually remembered their names when you say your thankyou on your channel. You usually say ‘someone’ sent you this and that and ‘you know who you are’ and ‘thank you’ but actually remembering their name would be really nice. Just a suggestion to show your appreciation to subscribers and people who send you things so you can continue to add all the amazing things you have.
No one has sent us anything in over a year. We do not run off of gifts or advertise such things. That gets into the realm of eBegging and is not something we do.
Just build nice big peers. Remember they don’t have to be circular peers. The forms can be made out of wood. Square peers don’t that much more concrete.
Love watching your videos
Your building again that's wonderful.....hugs
How’s the raised gardens producing and the fruit trees are growing.
Great idea looking forward to following this build. Will you eventually connect access to both so you have internal access
Yes, absolutely! That will be done after the new one is dried in -- or very close to it. I don't want to open the current workshop too soon to the weather.
Will you ever be changing the siding on you home? Was just wondering.
It's on the "someday" list, but not a necessity and low on the totem pole.
Hopefully, this hasn't been asked before, but can you give a link to the leveler/plum tool you were using in the video? I looked at the link for the "Our Tools and Gear" and couldn't find it. Thank you!
Are you going to put a door in the back of the 1st building, so you can get from one to the other? Or even connect them
What are the dimensions of the new workshop?
Awesome
You do build your work areas very well, and I appreciate that about you!
I have a question, I’m not sure if I missed it, but are you keeping the prior workshop, and if you are, then why didn’t you add on to that building?
The current workshop is staying and will become a video studio. I'll build a connecting tunnel between the two workshops when the new one is dried in. :)
Looking back in hind sight, you could have just painted the tops of the screws orange, and saved a ton of paint. Just poke them in a piece of styrofoam to hold them while you're painting the tops.
Guckt mal zum Beispiel bei Laura Kraft rein mit ihren Videos auf englisch, die baut auch vieles und verändert sich immer wieder. Augenblicklich ist sie sogar in den USA und hat bei einem ersten Spaziergang an ihrem Urlaubs, -, Arbeitsort schon was von den Strassen aufgesammelt um damit zu bauen.....ich sag's nur, weil ich Sam so ähnlich umtriebig erlebe wie Laura............immer wieder neue Ideen umsetzen....das habt Ihr gemeinsam.
Dont forget the z flashing this time! Lol glad you're expanding!
Hahahaha! Yes!!!
Shall we plan on lunch here at the house? Poor Dad has been suffering since the early morning hours and has been blowing his nose all that time. He had finally suffered enough he was willing to take a Zyrtec. Now he is fine! ( I think he had more than one piece of the cake yesterday)
She sure has the joy of the Lord, you are a blessed man.😃
With shops there is a rule. Spend hrs maybe even days drawing and calculating. And plan to build it 25 percent bigger than you need "just in case" And then build it...and realize you should have doubled your original estimate lol
Hey Sam, as every really interesting... why not use the uprights of your tractor barn and build off those with a roof and then new walls
I love watching your videos, I even follow the Sam Craft page, even though the tech stuff isn't my "thing", I think it's good to learn or at least watch. lol Just a question I've been wondering, Is there a particular reason why you decided to go with so many smaller outbuildings vs having 1 or 2 larger buildings with separate rooms for the different areas? We're buying land soon & I'm just wondering if there's a benefit to multiple smaller buildings vs just 1 larger building?
Mostly it's because of cost. We had a very limited amount of money to work with for my first workshop on this land. I built as large of one as I could afford at the time. Angela's soap shed we already owned and paid the $400 to have it professionally moved. Those two buildings are key for our small business. We added the green storage shed after we finished our home out of necessity for home storage... again.. cost. It was on sale for a cheaper price than the raw materials to build one. Now here we are about two years after building my workshop and thankfully blessed enough to be able to build myself a "real" workshop now. :) If money is no option, go big! Otherwise do what you can as you can, is our motto.
What laser and receiver are you using?
It's a super cheap one I was given a while back. Never used it in this way before, but it's been helpful! I wouldn't buy this one if it weren't a gift, not durable feeling. But it's worked okay so far. I think it's kiaweets name brand?
good luck on your project. With being a workshop, I am curous about your choice of doing pier and beam rather than form block and pouring a slab. Cost?
Absolutely cost. :) That and I can do all of this myself without hiring anyone else or relying on them.
theres a saying amongst machinists : if you cant make it perfect at least make it adjustable
i dont know if you have one of those laserlevels that sends out a horizontal cross , but if you do . you might be able to use that to get the corners at the right angles
are you attaching the buildings with a passageway
Are you going to add a bit to the height of you workshop so that you have mezzanine storage space?
This isn't on topic but, how are your feet doing? I know that you were having a lot of painful issues awhile back & you made some changes in your supplements. Are you doing better? I hope so. 😊
❤️👍👍👍
