Friends, thank your patients during these months I filled a lot of content at my log cabin camp which prevented me from producing new video. At the very end of this video, you can catch a glimpse at what is to come. Happy Holidays!!!
It is wonderful to see you back.😍
I'm so glad to see your back and have the ability to keep posting
Sorry to hear about your health issues Maxi, I'm impressed that it didn't stop you and just made you accelerate. I don't know if you plan things meticulously or you just have enough skills and knowledge to make it look that way but you never fail to Impress. Glad your back. 🇬🇧👍
Maxi, you have been missed and happy to see you again.
So nice to see you posting again, your videos are some of my favorites
This guy is on a completely different level. I think he is an actual genius.
I also believe so.
I have to agree. Thank you.
Yes, definitely, a person fluent in Russian and English - two wildly different languages - and highly skilled in carpentry, metalwork, toolmaking, building etc. It is incredible.
Max (Maxim) on top of that is a "Advokat" russian word for an attorney. It means his IQ is near genius level
I concur simply amazing
for about 23 minutes i felt like the world was both gone and beautiful. english is my native language and even still i don't have the words to explain just how much i value your videos.
!
I second that! It's beyond therapeutic. Mind, body and soul
Wow. Good for you! Are you taking something?
@@ZenMountain im just taking it all in. hopeully soon in the real natural world lol not just vicariously over youtube
@@ioiwut4874 All the best ;)
Great book for a beginner . czcams.com/users/postUgkxD-QRFQz730FJEh4f9BYSf-nkIMIC9hL_ this book really starts from the beginning, as in it explains what basic tools are and how to use them. But when it gets to the art of creating joints and how and when to use them this book really starts to teach you something. At least that was my experience.
"Nothing more permanent than a temporary solution." LMAO. Nailed it.
If only many native speakers of English could use such clear, complex and complete descriptions of any form of work! Thanks for some intriguing new thoughts and production methods!
Original and next-level inventions/projects. ✅
High quality trees/lumber ✅
Tasty accent (that cyrillic w sound /ʂ/ ) ✅
This is the perfect channel.
Greatest Christmas Present ever!!!
I'm so happy to see that you're doing well Maxi, I've been really concerned for you over these past 2 years with everything that's been going on and it warms my icy heart to know you're okay.
I'm super excited to what other videos you have in store. So from my family here in the US to yours Merry Christmas my friend!
Truly my favorite videos and such a nice person.
i posited to a friend that Maxi was in trouble. happy to see a video
Why were you concerned?
@@ZenMountain Karelia is in russia......
@@jacksonpark5001 So? Do you think everybody in Russia is in danger or what? Have you been watching CNN again?
I honestly cannot say this enough.. Your content is Amazing! your quality not only in making such beautiful wood crafts but your attention to filming and getting the shot and angle to show sad crafts and skills are amazing... These videos are hands down some of the best videos ive seen.. And I would like to say thank you for creating and sharing these with us..
Thank you for your kind words!
@@Advoko You deserve them, Max!
This content is amazing. I've spent 40 plus years in the mechanical engineering field and I tip my hat to your ingenuity. Well Done Sir!!
Thank you for your kind words
That's what I said!! I would have bet my LIFE SAVINGS he was mechanical engineer...NOT a lawyer!?? ... I'd be FLAT BROKE!!! LOL
Ccccikuu😊
I’m SO grateful he’s returned!!!!!
He’s unlike any other! Not only wood, nor metals, but materials of all sorts -- are made/recreated by him!
Thank you for this fine video!
Great to see another video from you again!
« …As you know : There’s nothing more permanent than a temporary solution » : Well said. Well said…
It’s really nice to see you back Max. Incredible work as always. 👍
Thank you, Adrien!
Very true statement
Friends, I want to ask you to share these videos with friends and acquaintances, let's link to Max's channel on social networks.These are amazing videos, they inspire and teach a lot.I think Max is worthy of new subscribers!
I'm a physician. I went to automotive school when I was younger and still build performance engines. I have a real estate business. And I have no doubt that I am not in this man's league. His ingenuity and creativity are truly impressive. (edit for typo)
Thank you!
You had to try a law school like Max did 😂
@@_Dwarkin lol I had two academic teachers in my practice who did an additional 5 years of night school for law. After 14 years in higher education I said no freakin' way.
Your ingenuity is legendary.
I didn't realize how much I missed seeing your videos until this one popped up.
Thank you so much for sharing your projects and even the mistakes you made along the way.
Honestly, after years of rehab from being hurt in a vehicle accident (not my fault), I have decided that your channel is the best one on CZcams.
My favorite by FAR.
Thank you for making a real difference.
Great to see you back on CZcams! Thanks for sharing your work and your progress. Best wishes for continued healing and Merry Christmas 🎄.
Orthodox do not celebrate Christmas on December 24, 25. Their Christmas is on January 6, 7.
@@AbcdEfgh-mw3nj Did you just assume zer's religion?
@@FelonyVideos yes, questions?
I found your channel in 2019, in that year I was in a creative drought not knowing what or how I could make my projects come to life, when I came across your channel I was hit with a epiphany, "what if I didn't follow the beaten path" and after that I have done a total of 27 projects that were inspired by your videos. I credit my lack of burnout to you my friend, so thank you for inspiring me.
I'm glad to be helpful ☺️
"The Way that can be followed (the beaten path) is not the true Way" --- Lao Tzu
What a great post Gen. Glad that you are inspired. If Max can`t inspire people I sure as hell don`t know who could. Happy for you.
@@MrPotatochips4 ,, I get that,, I have always bushwacked my own path, both figuratively and literally! I live it! Cheers!
Great testimonial! 👏 👏 👏
Along with Primitive Technology, watching Advoko Makes is my favourite way of escaping the chaos in the world for a few minutes on CZcams. Your work is mesmerising, your voice like honey, your footage like morphine. You are a balm for the senses, and I have missed your videos more than I can express.
Here here! Agreed! Nothing else quite like the two.
Im pretty sure his friend is doing the narration
edit: "A cascade of reckless assumptions."😁I wish my fellow Americans spoke English this well.💜
WOW. This from the man who can cut perfect freehand boards. Always pushing for excellence. I love this man.
I missed your videos soooo much over the last 10 months. So therapeutic. Please please post more often if you can. Best videos on CZcams!
Lance, thank you for such a high praise!
You're one of the best guys on CZcams! I hope everything is going well for you at home!
first of all it's good to see you well after an eventful year in your parts. probably most of us who follow your work in the forest have noted the long silence and wished the best for you
interesting to see your lumber milling evolve. it's pretty amazing how you're able to get that quality of boards milled with a chainsaw in a fairly primitive yet somewhat precise and very precisely understood setup. when i set up my sawmill in the forest (a regular gas-powered bandsaw type), i first mounted 30' (about 9 meters) of steel trackbed onto the ground at a predetermined slope, so that i'd only hold the saw to keep it stable while it cut, and gravity would do the hard work. of course my setup was not portable, which means you need equipment to drag timbers to it. your thing is bring the mill to the timber, wherever it is. but a gravity feed might still help you, and your design wouldnt be harmed by finishing the channel and guide mating surfaces with an oil finish mixed with beeswax. applied hot and wiped off, this would not only help preserve your hard work, but also greatly reduce friction
as far as your epicondylitis i have two pieces of advice: 1) there is a physical therapy device that reverses the condition. there are several brands out there, 'theraband flexbar' is what is use. but there is also logest, dmoose, viking strength and otrhers. they all do the same thing. you can look up the research on it if it interests you, 2) aspirin, by which i do NOT mean ibuprofen (motrin) or acetaminphen (tylenol), just plain old regular strength aspirin. this is not for its analgesic effect, which is salutary, but for its anti-inflammatory effect. one tablet an hour before work reduces injury by reducing inflammation while the tendons are being used. if you find it's right for you to try these, i've no doubt you'll see excellent long-term results and almost immediate benefits from both therapies
there's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution
Thank you for your advice!
I don't think anyone else has ever made a chainsaw mill like that before ...congratulations ..
Hello friend, happy to see a new video and hope you’re doing well!
You're back! I'm relieved that you are doing fine and I'm happy to see your world class videos again.
this guy is on a completely different level. I also think he is probably a genius.
Pure genius. I have had no role models, no mentors, no heroes....until Max. Off the grid for 20 years and I know nothing compared to Max. Even better, I like the guy!
Anything you wish to film and share is appreciated. You share confidence in how to be creative in problem solving, and it really shows how much one can do with very little. I am always puzzled by modern people assuming that just because our forbears didn't have our modern technology that they couldn't figure out how to build incredible projects like the great pyramids using the materials available to them at the time.
The 3 subjects would be very interested, but I must say I have a slight preference for the bee hive one ;)
Continue sharing your thoughts. It doesn't matter too much what they are about. Your interest in finding truth is contagious.
I am impressed by your command of the English language.
I am always so impressed with your content. you consistently think outside the box and are solving problems that I face throughout the year.
My video request is an update on the bottle bee hives!
Glad to see your quality content as well as unmatched drive you have
I like that you see a problem and solve it, not just keep having the same problem, its something the human race does but you do it many many times. Amazing.
It honestly doesn't matter what topic you cover, I passionately love every video you produce
Very happy to see you again, it was a long silent period, thanks for the video, I will see it now ;-) (just did it and I confirm, you are the "Da Vinci" of Bushcraft !), always pleasant to watch and listen, thanks again and take care.
Russian ingenuity at its best. The only Christmas gift I needed. Cheers from France!
Advoko MAKES and Oversimplified are the only two CZcams creators I'll stop whatever I'm doing to watch a new video of theirs pop up.
Thank you for such a high praise!
Advoko you are an incredible individual. Those bees are very unique.
Glad to have you back. I've been re-watching many of your videos over the last few days. I'm still in awe of your impeccable attention to detail and perfectionist mentality
It’s so nice to see another video from you, Max. That new boat is beautiful. I can’t even imagine how much time and tinkering it took to get that automated sawmill to work that perfectly. If anyone could do it, though, I know it would be you. You are the most clever, industrious man I know and you never fail to impress me. I’m sorry about your hands. I hope they eventually heal up as good as new. I wish you good health, peace, and excellent wood shavings from now on.
I have not seen one of these videos in ages, and thought I hadn't subscribed, but I remember doing it. I was surprised to see two projects in this video I did not recognize, so was pleased when you asked at the end, "which video to show". The answer is anything you seem to put your mind to is golden. So any video you wish to show us, as a Advoko MAKES fans, we will be impressed, by your skill, thought process and over all finished product. Good Day to you sir, and from the UK Merry Christmas.
OH very excited to see your name come up! And now to enjoy. welcome back
Had to restart video because I wasn't watching because I was too excited you're alive.
We will take any videos you make...no specific order necessary...all your projects are so inspiring and amazing!!!
You are a credit to your parents. Respect to you.
Max, your level of skill and sheer ingenuity is such a pleasure to watch. Thank you. As to your next video, of course I will enjoy whatever you choose!
I am fully interested in all three of your proposed future videos, so please feel free to release any of them at your leisure and discretion! We will patiently await 😊
What a joy for the tube to finally alert me to a new video from you. For me, you the best youtube has to offer. Thank you so much.
One of the few CZcams content creators who when they upload a video, it's not just a mere upload, but a RELEASE.
Mate, I don’t own a chain saw, or have need for one, and I’m not sure why CZcams has recommended your video to me…. But I’m so glad it did. It was a joy to see you logically go through the problem solving stage to get to the solution, bravo.
Wow Bro, from bees to boards, you never cease to amaze me! Your ingenuity, patience and precision is second to none. Try and pace yourself moving forward, injuries get harder to heal with age!
I’m sure it’s frustrating for Max the Genius, when the body can’t keep up w/ the output of his prolific mind!
I love following all projects, but the bottle-hive bees get my vote! 🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️
Gday AM, I"m glad you referred to your video on how you can make perfect boards without the need of jigs and the reason for this jig was health and time related. Cutting and milling the hardest woods on Earth have certainly taken their toll on my body over the last thirty seven years. Before machinery sawmills were always built on the side of a hill to allow for gravity feed.
Very glad to see that you are doing fine! Great content as always
You've been on my mind lately, wondering what you will do next, and here is a new video. I am wishing you continued and complete recovery for your hands. Thank you for sharing these beautiful ideas and experiences.
Son, each of your projects and videos is more captivating than the last. To say you are remarkably talented, skilled, dedicated and intelligent is an understatement. You're a modern day da Vinci.
I will happily watch any video you choose to share, but I'm partial to the bees, please.
Daine, thank for such a flattering comparison!
So glad to see you! I've made 2 long 11" x 8" x 22' foot long beams for my cabin in Fairbanks Alaska with your free hand method, so this means alot to have more options.
Your always welcome to migrate to Alaska in your boat...as has been done recently. I'll host you.
Genius, work smarter not harder.
Would love to see the bridge! Also much intertested in the bee hives. Love your videos, no matter what content you choose!!!!!!!
And the BEES!??? Blows me away as well!! How do you keep them warm and alive during winter temperatures? YOU my friend... are EXACTLY what my Father was talking about ... "CAN'T... NEVER COULD ... GET TO IT"!!!!
It is warm underground during the winter...
I very much enjoy and learn so much from your channel. There are not too many people like yourself, consider yourself special.
Not only is Max intelligent, but has a "feel" for wood and metal, and understands precisely how tools and materials work in principle and practice. He works WITH his tools and materials instead of with brute force. Using the vibrations or the saw to keep it moving along constantly with such light pressure is devilishly clever!
So happy to have you here again! I was really worrying about you. Welcome back and see you soon (I hope!!!) Many greetings from Germany
Michael
This is some serious intellect and problem solving!
You are our generation's Richard Proenneke. Thank you so much for bringing your journeys, knowledge, and learned wisdom to us all. 🙏 - a city dweller living vicariously through your experience.
Thank you for such a flattering comparison!
What a peaceful, lovely video. I wonder if you have seen my video on this subject - "Using a 'Gravity-Drag' to Make Perfect Boards"? It's a very similar method but uses a mass (say a small log) and gravity to exert the lengthways force. It's straightforward and has the benefit of a constant force - it doesn't change as elastic or springs do with their extension.
"There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution": very true :D Love your adaptability and ingenuity.
Peace, Bongo.
Watching from America. I really enjoy your channel.
Blessings and peace upon all the peoples of Russia.
Sorry to hear about your injuries but I am so happy to see you making videos. So inspiring! Cheers from Newfoundland, Canada!
he's back!
Glad to see you back. The quality of board that you can make with your chainsaw mill is really quite amazing. The part where the saw moves itself along the board was very cool. I think seeing how you build the bridge would be very interseting. Happy holidays! Thanks for the video!
Your perspective boggles my mind. No obstacles only opportunity to improve. Many thanks for sharing!
People like you who do these great teaching videos on CZcams are the salt of the earth. You freely give your ideas and knowledge and are a special kind of person. Keep up the great work and thank you.
So glad to see you posting again, Max. Can't wait to see what other projects you have in store for us.
I personally would love to see a video of the bridge
Well done as always .. . We live in a time where we need to get out of the cities and become self sufficient. U my friend are accomplished in that arena.
Max... YOU CONTINUE TO BLOW ME AWAY!! If I first watched one of your videos...I'd bet my LIFE SAVINGS you were a mechanical engineer... not a lawyer!!
The rubber band out of a tire!?? I'm amazed the chainsaw doesn't pull forward... but seeing is BELIEVING!! I watch in AWE at every video...and it dawns on me... THIS is how our ancestors LIVED EVERY DAY!! ... They MADE what they NEEDED!!
I knew I was watching this for something, and there it is. "There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution". Thank you!
So cool, now you need an in depth on that boat. That thing is so interesting! The bridge is awesome too impressive how long those boards are.
My jaw dropped not from your amazing mill but when you stated that you made your own chainsaw bar! Your videos are food for the soul, much Aloha.
Max, i hope all is well with you. You are a special person in this world.
Wow, the hidden beehive really surprised me. Free insulation and temperature regulation, colder in summer and warmer in winter! I can't wait for the video man, I just watched the previous one again.
Thank you so much for sharing your time, expertise, and life.
Fantastic setup, you could probably make a million dollars developing it into a product. I'd love to see the construction of your bridge, the boat was fantastic.
So glad to see you back, Max. You’ve set the bar so high, nobody else is a close second. Appreciate as you say, the quality of your videos, not quantity. You didn’t disappoint again, you never do.
Absolutely the best CZcamsr. A lot of our own old techniques here in the English speaking world are lost. I have a suspicion that in the Russian speaking world I would find books and information on how to accomplish tasks without modern tools (such as your giant wooden clamps in this video 14:08)
Finally. Dont let us wait too long again. All the best ❤️❤️❤️!!!
So glad to see you back! And safe- it was easy to fear for the worst!
Dear Sir, sometimes the simplest solution to a problem is the best one. This is your work, well done.
I for one am just glad your OK. It has been so long that I ( we ) did not know what to think.! Real good to see you back and look forward to your next update and soon. You owe us for leaving us hanging this long.! Merry Christmas to you and your family from Canada.!
Max - your tinkering talents are more of an engineer than those of an attorney in law. Woodworking, bee keeping, survival equipment.
Bro mastered all the possible techniques with the chainsaw 💀
I’ve been watching you for years now, and right when I think you’ve reached the threshold of your intelligence, I find myself confounded yet again!! Absolutely amazing!
My heart sings to see and hear that your craftsmanship is still blessed and welcome sharing any adventures you upload! Please keep warm and safe everywhere you fare💖
Brilliant contraption for milling lumber in the wild. I would love to see the next video on the bridge you constructed from the lengths of timber you were able to harvest using this method.
Maxi, your industriousness is continually amazing and inspiring. please take good care of your injuries; there are so very few worthwhile CZcamsrs. :D thank you for continuing to share your journeys.
FIRST CLASS WORK! You made something extraordinary out of virtually nothing, save your imagination and ingenuity. I especially loved your line "There's nothing more permanent than a temporary solution". Truer words have never been spoken.
It is great to see you making videos again Max. I just follow you here on YT. This video is another blood pressure lowering gem. Your skills are second to none and I learn so much from you. The self propelled saw in freaking amazing. Your underground beehive was a first for me. I have never seen such a thing. Keep on keeping on Max , you give so much pleasure to us here , thank you.
Glad to see you back, Max. I had to re-watch some of your older videos while I hoped for your safety.
I enjoy everything you do, but since you ask what we would like next, I vote for the bee video. I enjoyed your last bee video a lot and you've inspired me to start beekeeping myself. All the best from Norway.
