Drilling a hole in a bolder to make a stand for a hydraulic excavator hammer. Then hammering a bigger rock into small pieces.

    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 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
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Thanks Andrew for introducing us to Sam. She’s a hard worker. Appreciate your videos! Great scenery! Hope your foot heals soon!
  • 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

    Sam adds a great new element to the videos!
  • 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....

    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.

    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. ~Shasta

    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.
  • @jerryb1234
    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.

    🇨🇦 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!!

    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.
  • 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 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
  • 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.
  • 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
