It’s been said before but praise should be done when deserved. Doug is the example of a great neighbor and the willingness to share his knowledge and desire to help is a example we should all follow. Thanks Doug. And thanks Adam for another great video. I’ll say it again I sure am thankful that Mike Morgan told me about your channel. Continued success. Stay safe

On a previous video, I recommended either selling your existing thumb and buying a new one, or doing exactly what Doug accomplished. I was shocked when watching this video where Doug implemented one of my ideas. Likely he came up with the same idea before me? What an excellent job he did! He saved you between $800-$1300 per internet prices on a new excavator thumb! Ofcourse you can add shipping charges and taxes to the above! I like your channel for numerous reasons. You collaborate with interesting and creative experts such as Doug. Both of you are smart enough to know that repetitive videos that only buck, split, pile, & deliver firewood are extremely boring. I have never had to tell you this, because you already cover so many various video scenarios. I hope that Doug doesnt lose the love of doing creative stuff and then having to video record and edit everything, which is not that much fun! You guys make an unbelievable tag team. Dont change a thing! Share the proceeds with Doug, and dont let him start his own channel! You guys hit the nail on the head! Wonderful work!

As I've said before, your neighbor Doug is amazing. Everyone needs a neighbor like him.

Everyone needs a neighbor Doug! A couple of videos ago Doug showed his recip saw paint shaker. I liked the idea and copied it. Great help for those rattle cans.

Thank You Doug! Adam is blessed to have you for a neighbor.

Hey Doug, there is a house for sale in our neighborhood! The world needs more neighbors like you.

Wonderful modification on this thumb! Yes you are correct Doug is a blessing and a half. Not many people have a neighbor like that. He is literally a walking machine shop. I really like the orange raptor and the, I think it’s a Honda Ridgeline in the background at Doug’s place. Great choices! Keep up the great work. You are so brilliant having Doug on your channel because you’re giving him an opportunity to build his own platform when he launches his channel. I think you’re both going to be an incredible addition and inspiration to each other once everything is in place. Keep up the great work fellas blessings!

Finally got a chance to watch this one, big thumbs up to Doug! What an awesome neighbor. Looking forward to the garage project videos!

You scored a bullseye with a great neighbor who has not only great tools but also friend who knows how to use them

Great video Doug reminded me of my Dad who was a welder and fabricator for over 30.
The work he preformed was was wondful.
Have a great day from VA.

I know you realize this, Adam, but you're extremely fortunate to have Doug as a neighbor and friend. His knowledge and skill set is amazing!

[AdamsMom]

For anyone that previously thought Doug’s garage was too organized to do actual work…. This video proved his skills!!! Very well done!!!

[ralpharvin]

My wife and I do just about everything together, including watching you and your co-star Doug. Since we garden, cook, cut and split firewood...and quilt together...we watch videos about these things. We seam-lessly (pun intended) go from watching the latest Hometown Acres right into the quilting videos. No surprise that our big purchases last year was a quilting machine and a log splitter.

Doug is THE MAN! It's great having a neighbor like him. Sadly, my Doug passed away just before covid. He's missed by many, every day.

[mblind]

It's also super handy that your neighbor has a full metal shop AND the skills - excellent work.

[theElderberryFarmer]

The only neighbor that can rival neighbor Doug would be TubalCaine (Mr Pete, our Internet shop teacher).

Adam, you are blessed beyond belief to have a neighbor like Doug.

[Tstefancin]

I have a neighbor that’s just like Doug. People like that are an absolute gift to have around to show and teach things . It’s like having a library for a neighbor 👍

[michaelmullins]

Getting a full pen weld on that device was key. Hard to believe the workbrow folks still said it was the right thumb. Great job Doug.

[suehartwigsen]

Thank you neighbor Doug for helping Adam with the modification to the excavator thumb.
