Homestead Shop Talk is a weekly audio podcast hosted by Jason Contreras (@sowtheland), Ben Hollar (@thehollarhomestead) and Al Lumnah (@lumnahacres). Three dudes with different homesteads talking about homestead life, content creation, growing a homestead and building a life worth living for. Thanks for listening! #homesteadshoptalkpodcast
Jason, I will watch you work on your fence as long as it takes. I enjoy your videos.
Me too❤
Same.. Love Watching Jason @SowtheLand his big funny smiles crack me up....
I'm old enough to remember party lines! Lol
"Embrace the packrat" .... That's golden ! Almost lost my bits with that one!
Jason never miss your content.. you make us smile.. bless you and family ❤
Im sorry here, but SO relieved to find out young men store & save too!! I thought us old ladies were the only ones who still do that! Lol. You youngins are so adorable!
Due to the fact that I’m moving, I saved too much. But I come from the air that you didn’t throw things away just because you didn’t use them for two or three months.
I was raised by parents who grew up during the Depression. They didn’t have the money to buy new.
My nephew once asked me if they had colors when I was a little boy. All of our pictures were in black and white.
Ya I'm seeing the podcast now,and I say all three of you men have major projects on right now, AL doing big barn building,Ben building a house,And Jason building high tunnel and pulling fence,clearing land,and I must say that brush mower is so cool. You're three of the busiest men I no.and all of you work so hard on your property its refreshing to know we still have hard working men in our world. Hats off to y'all the projects y'all take on are crew worthy and you do them solo.👏👏👏 just be careful out there.and keep sharing, I love watching y'all.
The old saying better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it
When I was about 12 I decided to clean up my dad's shop. I had it all organized and my dad got so mad at me for cleaning up. He was looking for something he knew he had.
I love the fence building its like a comic with your input. And the chicken addition to the barn is like a high detective novel waiting for each post, The trailer overhaul was sure quick maybe you will be inundated with friends for this as soon as you get it framed Ben. Who could pass up all this high tension like women soaps... lol Thanks for your friendship a lady alone (my dear husband went to heaven this summer and I need friends). Have great day.
I just KNEW Al was going to figure out a way to get a tractor in that barn to clean things up. 😅 👍
Yup on our Bronze Medallion Tom Turkey. It got WAY too big and we needed a Sawzall to get it in the oven. We said.."never again".. UNTIL we ate it. 😅Mmmmm. 🦃
Jason, keep your videos coming. I enjoy them. I wouldn’t worry about showing us the fence build being boring because your humor is enough to keep us entertained. Al is been showing us the same stuff and he has viewers that keep coming back. And let Ben know I really love his videos too.
I watch all of You guys. Juist love seeing you all talking together. This video was just great. Thanks so much.
On my retirement home I will have a stationary coop. I have a number of existing buildings which one is being converted for chickens, another for rabbits, etc. because I already have balance issues and I don't anticipate becoming stronger with age so there would be a good chance of me having a misstep and falling while trying to move a chicken tractor. I should be able to handle a stationary coop for much longer.
Jason, on the fence videos, it would be great for a step by step tutorial video which you might be able to edit from what you already have. You could start by introducing all the tools you are going to use, go over how many and which supplies you will need for like 100 feet (easier for novices to calculate what they need). You could then show digging only 2-3 holes, move on to putting in your poles and the steps needed. Then finish with hanging the wire between those poles tightening, how much space between, etc. and end up with troubleshooting info. It would be great for those of us who will need to put in fencing in the future and 5 years from now it would still be pulling in steady views which will probably have higher numbers than the more casual fencing videos you currently put out which are great also.
Just my unsolicited and probably unwanted opinion. Enjoy your show.
Squirreling is the sign of a good gardener. You could grow enough in your garden to eat from it while in season. Most homesteader types grow more than they need for fresh eating so they can squirrel away by preserving so they have food in the off season. Keeping all the scraps can save you money and time in the future even though you have no idea when you will need it. The tough part is developing the best organizational system so things don't get lost.
Watch the old Charlton Heston movie called, "Soylent Green.". It was about a new food product to eliminate starvation which they said was created by soy but they were actually recycling humans. A movie before it's time.
You three should stagger your videos so us viewers have awesome content to watch every day of the week.
Memorial Day is in May. Labor Day September.
First time watching. Transitioning from a roughly 180 year old log home to a manufactured house on my grandsons property. Weird learning curve but doable. Good podcast!
Count me in I always watch and enjoy all your video's.
Ok...you hit my hot spot! You have an inner knowing (especially now) that if things go south...you Will Have What You Need! When my husband began to go downhill....he purchased things that he KNEW I would need on the farm.. . . til I die. Well, my son came to live here for a bit and he burned, scrapped and sold all that was in my barn. When he moved and I went to get some things I needed and ALLL WAS GONE! Even my tools!!!!!!! Relax....things could get so rough. Relax!!! Pray and listen to the Lord tell you. It is all about relationship! Cultivate that Relationship and see what He says. He provides and we must steward. You lovely Stewards!!! I have a new name for you all! Stewards of RUclips!!!!! Organize and Utilize and Steward
Jason, the 1870 Homestead did an awesome video last week on tapping different kind of trees, not just maple. I think you’d like it. Very informative. Get ready to tap in Dec. and Jan.
Thank you Jason for asking about the maple syrup.
I look forward to these episodes/podcasts all week long!
I collect too. My parents kept very little. Use or give it away ot trash. My dad save his wood, he wood carved, make furniture and remodeled the kitchen, bathroom. He never had a mess. Cleaned up each day.
They were PERFECTOUS.
I never was. L.O.L.
Jason, you could make planter boxes out the wood.
Sale them. Everything you made sold in second's. You're gifted. You're all VERY BLESSED with TALENTS. GREAT FRIDAY SHOPTALK ☕☕☕👍👏
Until your next VLOG.
THANK YOU.🏡🏡🏡.
I watch every Homestead Vlogs. ALL, your fencing JASON .
Good morning guys.
Ben, I remember back in the day when I was a little girl, my brother who was 10 years older than I, used to melt down lead and make his own lead soldiers. I'll bet your boys would love to do that. Hand on to those ingots. LOL.
Ben the cherry could come in handy for trim on the new addition
Memorial Day!!! Labor Day in September. I used to confuse them too.😊❤️
It's great that you have a subject every week, but just know that the conversations, even off topic, are the best!
Happy Mother’s Day to the wives!!!
Al ,Ben & Jason ,We love listening to your Podcast and we follow your family channels 😊
The more you build, the more tools you neeed. Win,win.
I work for Frito lay as a merchandising and super bowl is the busiest day of year for sales
An elderly friend of ours was clearing old his old Aunt's house. She had lived through two world wars and the depression and saved everything. This was in the 1960s, so really ancient for you young fellas! But even they had to smile when they came across a box marked string too short to be used for anything.
I use milk jugs filled with water as frost protection . Also with the bottom cut off and the top just the top of the handle off so a stake can be pushed in to hold it. Lid on or off. The plants do not burn as they do in a clear plastic bottle.. 💕💕🌻🌻
Shoot! You fellas are just mere children! Ha! I turned 76 at the end of January, but I feel 28 in my mind. When you talk about "way back in the '80s..." I just wrinkle my brow. I retired from university faculty in the year 2000, but as I think about how long ago that was, I realize that there are some "children" who were born in 2000, yet they now have grandchildren! WHAT??? How can that be?
So, age is just a number.
I really, really enjoy your RUclips programs and can hardly wait for the next iteration. Good on you for keeping these conversations going. I can only imagine what it would be like if y'all did a LIVE show! Oh, boy! You generate so much thought in our heads...and I'll be every person watching has comments we're making as y'all discuss matters.
In my retirement, I've gone back to some rather serious woodworking (I taught junior high Industrial Arts (AKA "shop") for 8 years before I became a middle school principal. So, now that I'm retired, I get to do a bunch of "making." Guess what? I have several boxes of "cutoffs" filled with exotic and precious hardwoods. Somehow, I cannot bear with the thought of throwing away all that mahogany, walnut, cherry, bubinga, padauk, oak, jatoba, purpleheart, hard maple, sycamore, ash, .... well, you see where I'm going with this. One of the best things I've done is to give away some boxes of those "little treasures" to some boy scouts and other young people who just love making trinkets with the cutoffs. And, I get to teach them stuff (I'll always be a teacher at heart). Oh, and I"m pondering making some things for y'all, but the problem is that I don't know where I'd ship it. Ha! OK, until next time....thanks for what you all do!

I love this ❤❤❤
I guess I can call you a youngster too, sir. I was 85 the end of January and as they were talking about the telephones of the past, I was remembering the days of the "party line". Where several people were on the same line and you had to wait your turn if someone was talking when you picked up the phone to dial a friend. LOL. I also remember Dick Tracy's talking watch....that will never happen we would say, and look what we have now. Thanks for the memories. By the way Dr. Anderson, my brother was a wood worker and he would take the tiny scraps of precious wood and glue them up then cut slices and make pendants and ear rings. Now that was using up the last of the scraps. LOL.
I love your wood collection. amazing. My dad loved Cherry Wood. He wood carved. Make anything out of wood. His windows trimmed wood. Was like glass. Pella Windows wanted to make the trim
My dad said, no thank you.
They came back. They said they never saw anything so nice. And stated, they would not have made them like his. I watched how the touched it and stayed an hour talking. They sure learned a lot. My folks were from Germany. I have never seen purple wood in person. Only once on a show. Thank you. I turned 70 a few weeks ago. GOD BLESS YOU and YOUR FAMILY 🙏
ncptlarry ~ I loved your reply almost as much as I love their Shoptalk Podcasts. I'll be 76 this summer and my dad was a college professor (of sciences), so I know where you're coming from.
I’m 76 also 👍🏻living in UK 🇬🇧 I love the way these three go at 😂it in life 👍🏻
When we moved across country I threw away a ton of the “I’ll use this someday” stuff I had acquired. Now, since we’ve been here building our house and farm, I have accumulated a lot more stuff but still have a bunch I am missing. Can’t wait to get the garage done so I can find all my stuff again that was packed away.
No, Jason, not tired of fence building!!! Especially when you add Lorraine's dinner at the end!!
We had a chicken roost on hinges in a larger chicken coop that would fold up against the wall. Fold it up and take the loader and scoop up the litter.
I Rember when we had an 8 party line so you had 7 other neighbors on the same line and you always had a nosey neighbor picking up and listening to your combersation
Creativity leads to utility but needs opportunity in order to eliminate accumulation… I save everything and so struggle holding on to the right things then letting others go
77 year old granny and I just went to my metal yard just this morning. You must save pieces of fencing, post and plumbing supplies, wire and other bits of stuff.
ONLY podcast that I have the patience to listen to !
I’m with Al, what my husband saves as scrap wood from wood working ends up in our wood stove at the beginning and end of our burning season! My husband also hits up the garage sales for hardware such as bolts, hinges and cabinet hardware! I figure he knows what he needs! But I think he is running out of space in our very large barn! I know he does get overwhelmed by stuff in the barn! My seed starting lights become shop lights after I plant things out! If and when we downsize we will have our work cut out for us! Sad to say I still remember letters in my parent’s phone number! You guys are not old 😂
Distance between t-post depends on the size of your livestock. You got this!
I so enjoy this podcast!! Thank you for sharing your time, experience and common sense!!
Thanks so much
Enjoyed the video. Blessings to all three of you. 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Laughing out loud when y’all were discussing turkeys. Great show! Keep it up.
Thanks, guys - good info!
😊 thanks guys, I love the chats, I watch all three of you on your own podcast, two of you more than the other one, but not saying which is which, please keep going with everything you’re doing on your patches land with animals , Building, we love it all, by the way, I am 76 this year, with a very full life behind me, but you lot make me feel young again, don’t ever lose your enthusiasm 😊 keep enjoying yourself, even though it’s hard work.
I can remember when my Grandmother's phone # was 5 digits. To dial her long distance you did have to do 7 numbers, but locally it was any the 5.
Jason, I like watching the fence installation. I need the repetition of the process for it to stick. We are putting in perimeter deer fence then chicken yard fence and garden fence. Whatever challenges you encounter, our attention is riveted!
Spring is junk removal time. We’re all guilty of hoarding stuff. Y’all have a better excuse than I do.
God bless each of you and yours.
If you cut the bottom off of the gallon jugs you can use them to cover your plants (one per plant) and that will protect from frost or freezing both inside and out. That's what we did on our vegetable farm when I was a kid to protect our transplanted plants from frost.
It comes down to seeing the value when you use that first saved item 😊
Old freezers are a great place to store feed if you keep them covered. Mouseproof and dry...
Memorial Day is in may too.
We built our coop like a house cinder blocks, rebar etc with a ground level door. Easy to hose the whole thing down.
Ben, get the girls out there to help with the fence. I really like to watch Ben's baby girl to help her mama and Daddy. I notice that the boys let her help and are so kind to little sister. Now Al well his Gina is amazing to watch with that big saw but would love to see his little daughter in the video's. Al, I liked watching the container build and wonder what it is used for now. I noticed the Louisiana Bald Cypress has a distinctive green haze to the branches today. Thanks for peaceful channels where I can forget to turmoil of the world and the foolishness of seeing Just Parades, festivals, crime info and car jackings on the afternoon Bias news in South Louisiana.
Old freezer: broken down ones are wanted to store grain and such in to keep rodents out. If it's in good shape, a good cleaning may be all it needs, the outdoor is just the water sludge.
Back in the day, they called junk piles "bone yard" With today's prices on wood and building materials it's a must.
MA9-4365, MA stood for Marion County, that was before they came out with area codes, let alone country codes. I think that number is ingrained within my DNA, a part of my childhood. Loved listening to you guys talk about your junk piles. I do the same thing... hold onto everything because I know it'll be exactly what I need someday.
I look for this first thing Friday--admire you all and wish only the best to you all and your families. Aloha
The fencing I’ve done for our cattle /hay fields have a wood post every 50’ and T posts 10’ on center but we are also 7 strands of barbed wire
hey guys good to listen to yas, thx i enjoyed it
Love the discussion on the stationary chicken coop. Thank you gentlemen!
Al! You can go into the editor and save any frame as a photo
Ben... have you thought about a lean-to situation on the backside of the barn by the pig pens??? Might be able to store stuff there
A lean-to would be a cheap build
Pennsylvania trees can still be tapped were still having nights below freezing. Actually snowed yesterday and today! Im starting my spring 🌱 seeds Tomorrow! Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots. March 15th I'll start tomatoes, peppers, herbs & summer squash
I don't have a whole lot of room on my quarter acre, but I'm about to move soon. My rule is if I bring in some things some other things have to go.
I do have stuff sorted out, but i save a bunch of odds and ends. I'm going to need to have a better plan for organizing and protecting items when I get a bigger place, for sure!
The junkyard game is epic around here! (Cincinnati Ohio area) Most of them are just called "salvage yards," but There's one place down the street from me that's been named "Everything But The Barn!" 😅
They do have some Antique goodies, but its mainly a big scrap shed. I've found some really neat pieces from there and some pieces that actually helped me complete projects. I don't want Lowe's to keep an inventory of new things for me to go and buy, but I'm willing to check marketplace, next door, and Craigslist... or go to a local place and see what they've got!
I don't know I need something until I see it!
It's like looking at clouds😂
I say the same things as y'all do. "Oh, this is a good piece! I can do ___ with this!" Or even worse, "somebody is going to call me asking me if I have one of these if don't keep this!"
Watching organizing videos and minimalistic videos has helped alot!! As far as minimizing having to "MANAGE" items, that's the exact reason I keep a constant rotation. I'm a 52yr old woman that will be starting a homestead soon and I don't want to move that kind of "DEAD WEIGHT" like those buckets full of lead weights😂
So if you look around my entire house at the moment, open any cabinets or drawers or closets, you won't find a single thing that I don't use within a year. I'm hoping that when I move I'm doing the same with my scrap shed. I can have one as long as the pieces stay organized and useful and ideally it keeps getting rotated because it's getting used or rehomed!!
Great chat!😊
We squirrel stuff away now because there so much talk about preparedness . But also when I was little my uncle was shell shot. Ww2 language. He walked everywhere looking at the ground and I would walk with him. He picked up every screw, nail, washer he would say someday I’ll need this. Always looking for treasure he called it. We develop habits lol
I lined the whole interior of our box-style brooder with a big piece of vinyl flooring. It cleans up really easily, can get most of it with just a plastic putty knife followed by a broom.
Jason I like your fence building.
The freezer was probably never used. Many farms use old broken freezers to store feed/treats/etc. They are perfect rodent proof containers to keep such things.
telephone numbers in the mid 50's started with the first two letters of several different words like BLackburn, CHerry, CRestwood (2,5- 2,4 and 2,7 ) then the last 5 numbers. I guess they thought it was easier for the seniors to remember. In the 60's, people had both Color and Black and White with glass (?fuses) that could be manually changed when they blew up or popped.
Three of my favorite homesteaders. Watch all of you each time you post. I try to comment each time but miss sometimes. Keep it going guys! You're doing great! I think the "keeping stuff"........means we're starting to turn into our parents the older we get....LOL LOL
Blessings to each of you and yours!!!
I'm 65 and I still remember my grandparents' phone number! That's 63 years of memory.
Al, that's called Soylent Green! YUK! (It was a movie from the 70's... look it up!)
My brother helped me un-junk my garage by saying, "If it's plastic, get rid of it" It helped!
i remember when we didn't even have to dial the 3 digit extension... 4 numbers were all you needed.
As a Veteran I shop at Lowes a lot, I just got an email the other day that the same is happening now with our Veteran discount that we earn points to us at lowes and still get our discount. As a woman i always park in the Pro are if i need lumber lol I am a Pro Woman home fixer upper so why not !
Hey guys maybe this will make you feel better. I remember phone numbers before they had 7 digits and I do remember my grandmother's phone number. Again a great pod cast.
That was an excellent pod as it shows someones trash can be someones treasure. Want not waste not. How you guys homesteading is great. Fan from oz watch all your channels this is a great get together hearing your weekly projects
I visited a farm here in Oregon and their barn had trap doors in the animal stalls so you could sweep the waist and hay into it and it would fall into a hay wagon.
Love this channel! You guys touch on some great subjects, and have fun doing so. Some podcasts put me to sleep, but you guys keep me smiling and share great information.
Love this podcast guys, I listen to it while working (my day job) and it feels like I'm just part of the conversation. You validate the saving and things I do to build my homestead! Jason, love the fence building and everything you do, it's great content and it is what the rest of us are doing as well. Keep it going guys! Subscribed to all 3 of your channels, but this is just bonus content!
Great to hear!
Ben, you might find some of that cherry useful once the addition is built. Shelving comes to mind. A desk for Buggy, storage for the boys, something useful for Meg's needs.
Old not working freezers make good mouseproof feedstorage bins.
Until i was in high-school around 1986 we had a party line still.
We all need to keep a bunch of stuff.
Thanks guys
Like the new border effect with your podcast. Looks slick. 👍
I enjoy your fence build Jason!!
I 💕you guys and your wives.
We all have those piles 😂 Just my food preservations supplies knocks me out of ever being a minimalist. I’ll be 50 this year but my kids are similar in ages to yours. They love to say back in the 1900’s when you were born…. 😂😂😂😂
Haha I memorised phone numbers from the 80’s and 90’s too😅😂😂😂
For cardboard amazon has a heavy duty paper shredder that works awesome on cardboard! -Mike
Omg the Friday,Saturday before Super Bowl grocery stores were ridiculous but for me we do watch the game and I like to prepare early so whatever I had on the menu that day I made sure I had it ready so I didn’t have to go out that Friday Saturday. I made it I made it I always do whatever is holiday or if we’re inside because of a really bad cold storm and weather ,whatever I make sure that the week that they tell the city you stay in I’ve already prepared my house for Everything
🛒🛒🛒🛒
I actually like the commercials, the best
Now you have made me feel old, I grew up with Black and White TV lol
Love all your videos. Keep on fencing Jason. Blessings from Australia 🦘🌏
My dad always calls my place "Sanford and Sons" because of my "junk yard". It's not a "junk yard". It is a "resource yard"! -Mike
Soylent Green, the 1973 Movie. The ultimate processed food - the people's favorite.
Good morning guys ☕️ happy Friday… I fell asleep before halftime 🫣 on the job at 4a and according to the news I didn’t miss anything
I’m late watching this podcast, I’ve watched the chicken coop door build. It was a great idea!
Jason, I'd put shelving in one of the stalls and place the pieces of wood on the shelf designated by size. If you just toss pieces into the stall you're just making more work for yourself..
Totally enjoy listening to you fellows.
P. S. I also watch you all.
Jason you have so many barns to store stuff just have to store in a designed storage system. as for lead ingots they are valuable for a guy making jigheads or fishing weights or for dive weight belts.
