"Hmmm. This video is nearly an hour long. May just skim through it." 3 minutes later... full screen mode and leaning back with a cup of coffee. Brilliant stuff every time from NYW.
Yes! There is something mesmerizing about the videos on this channel. Relaxing to watch without any gimicky music, and I learned so much.
No talking. No music. This shouldn't be watchable but is so addictive. A true craftsman that with a little thought can throw his hand to anything. Great work sir 👍
Brilliant job. Such skills and no annoying music. I so admire your workmanship and attention to detail. Great to have your little helper involved too 😊
It is watchable precisely for those reasons. Awful, inappropriate stock music, time-lapses, and egotistical presenters / commentaries are a major turn off.
No talking and no music is exactly why this is watchable. I don't understand how anyone thinks those things, especially music, would _add_ to the experience.
My sentiments exactly. The videos on this channel are mezmerizing.
Looking forward to seeing Tiffany start "New New Yorkshire Workshop" in a few years time!
With the same extensive voiceovers. I had to go back at one point to check whether I saw her peeking out of a box.
“I may do something more permanent for this later” Ha ha! Nothing is more permanent than a temporary bodge that works!
Exactly. Or as @WatchWesWork would say: "It is temporary unless it's fixed."
Is there anything you CAN'T do!? And do it all to perfection...you're amazing to watch and learn from
I was going to ask the same question!
Same. Usually one can have a rough guess from which trade somebody harks based on what they favour or shy away from. This is an anomaly.
Ich bewundere die vielen Fertigkeiten auch schon lange. Alles ist so durchdacht und wunderschön. Danke für das Video.
@@Stewart_Bell perfect way of putting it, yes you're right
He's also so much faster than most other "I'm doing my own house" CZcamsrs. I follow a couple and they do like 1 video a week, but then that 1 video would be like just taking down that old little wall
Imagine buying house of this guy after he’s fettled it. Absolutely incredible workmanship. Can’t wait for the next one 👍
It seems that there are no impossible tasks for the author. He clearly sets a task for himself, outlines ways to solve it and carries it out. I admire your hard work! Bravo!
Excellent work.
Those slabs are a brilliant idea.
I can’t believe you did all that in under an hour.
I was totally knackered and ready for a beer before you got to the fridges.
😂 that’s funny 🎉
Never have I ever seen a patio system like that. And never have I ever seen someone so dedicated to craft. Bravo
that offcut support on the inside of the planters was a helluva big brain move!! very nice vid again bro
You’re the most intelligent man on CZcams. You do all your jobs to perfection. 5 star 🌟 job.
I agree. York is so enjoyable to watch.
"Couch eco warriors"? Maybe not the smartest man per se 🤔🤣
Next weeks episode : Heating up the hypocaust for the first time .😉
BTW...the lilac Flower is a medical plant called Comfrey and yes bees absolutely love them.
And makes the best plant food. Wait for the flowers to pass, cut down and drown in water for 6 weeks. The plant will return next year.
If its the wild variety it will spread like crazy. Nightmare but yes bees love it.
@@tmyersf4 Yes, it DOES spread like crazy. Be careful where you plant it everyone and count on it coming up all around the original planting and beyond.
😊
Tiffany, at her "what my Daddy does for a living" school presentation: "My Dad is a multi-talented, maniacal, workaholic CZcamsr. Carpentry, masonry, and electronics are only some of his skills." Tiffany and her little sis will be winners in this world if they follow Dad's lead.
"He will also build you a £20,000 stereo if any of you parents are interested"
I actually can't believe that tap change went so easily.
Could have turned the stop cock off, no water flying about then.
I don’t know which I appreciate more - the incredible workmanship or the incredibly wry humor.
Your daughters are beautiful and Tiffany clearly takes after you. She’ll be in your workshop soon.
Never seen that patio system before.
Can’t wait for part 2.
These fridges would definitely take too much time to decompose by themselves. Key call throwing them out :D
I am constantly amazed by you. The craftsmanship, skill, editing, pacing of the video and sheer patience to do something right in everything you undertake is pure brilliance. You should be proud of this and every other project in this house. Absolutely 100% professional quality and beautiful work. I wish I had 0.5% of your talent.
"It was taking them too long to decompose.." xD
Always a pleasure to watch a true craftsman at work,you are the best on CZcams,well done mate!
I expected the careful attention to detail and mastery of - everything, but the thoughtfulness to leave the flowers for the bees and the careful shaving off of corners to save small heads was an added bonus. Brilliant job.
The archway at the bottom of that brick wall is intriguing!
Was thinking the same thing.
Possibly a sewer pipe that runs the length of the road maybe they put the arch in to avoid weigh sitting on it ? I know behind my house there is a 6 “ sewer pipe approx 5ft deep that serves 8 houses
Suspect either a Sewer, Gas or Water pipe
Or maybe an entrance to the cellar that has been paved over.
Really laughed when your daughter appeared in the cardboard box. What a great start to my Sunday morning. As others have commented, no music, superb craftsmanship and beautiful to watch. Can't wait for the next one.
Wow, Russ, that is outstanding. It's gorgeous and I can't wait for part 2. Thanks for sharing the girls as well. Tiffany is growing so much. Love, love, love it!
The lead topped nail was an early way of holding electrical cable to a wall. Tiffany is a delight and quite helpful for such a young girl, I'm curious about the arch in the garden wall, what on earth could that have been so low down? I think I may have kept it more visible as a feature, but the overall finish it both imaginative, very pleasing & as ever very well done
I thought the same about the arch, utterly fascinated. Up and over a drainage culvert of some sort, once upon a time?
@@coopersm2possibly but unlikely in a backyard between the two houses.
people were shorter back then
I assumed it was an opening for a 'coal hole' but can't figure out where it would have gone. Though the concrete is obviously a much later addition, so who knows what level the garden was before that was all poured?
Her instinctive understanding of the benefits of mechanical leverage are a credit to her and her parents. When that same keen intelligence grasps the power of emotional/phycological leverage, that's when the fun starts.
Also idea for a new series: "Decomposing Fridges in Yorkshire with Prof. Brian Cox" TV gold is that.
It's astounding the level of thought and foresight you put into your work. From predicting the outcry about plastic shavings, to insulating the pipe, to the softening of corners for safety, it's like you address every single potential issue before anyone can even mention it haha. Beautifully done as always
I like the way he talks.... His voice is so peacefully❤
I’ve got 3 kids and barely have time to take a number 2 so commend you for being a dad and a trade genius.
I mean, I'm worried about how strong those slabs really are and if they get broken somehow then it may be a pain to replace, that and the sudden drop might be rather painful, but... WOW, that's a great way to just make it so the entire patio outside just drains.
Yes, that was what I was thinking. You probably don't have to drop something super heavy on it to crack it. I was hoping that was going to make something out of wood. But with UK weather it's not going to last super long and turn into slippery algae magnet. Great work as always. Maybe a bit a bit more detail into the pointing but thats just nitpicking
Disclaimer: computer programmer and not a mechanical engineer. Yup. It would be interesting to look at the spec sheets for those but they did not look particularly thick. I wouldn’t want to be moving some heavy kitchen appliances across that patio, etc. Why wasn’t the void filled with gravel so at least if they break you don’t get a gashed up leg?
@lawrencemanning That would make sense to me. It would be a lot of gravel though.
Also the perfect space underneath for rats
@@brian7android985 They will have a tidier home than before this was put in :)
I just learned what tool makes those sets of scraping marks on stone and your demonstration for the umbrella mounts was perfect! Glad you kept that arch in the wall! There is method to this madness! Love it!
OMG! Tiffany has grown so much and what a gorgeous kid, she is a creator, designer, in the making. The patio is top notch design of course, so chic. Cannot wait for the next reveal. Cheers!
Adding my voice to the many others here admiring your work, your creativity, your talent, and your beautiful family.
I can’t believe so much motivation and talent can reside in one person!!!
The fact that you can do all this work in less than one hour just makes the ludicrously slow degradation of old fridges all the more ridiculous. 😁
It just blows my mind how talented you are and honest with how you do your work. I so look forward to your videos! Thank you for all your hard work in making these for us to enjoy! Loved seeing your daughter helping as well!,
That plant is comfrey,bees just love it,thanks for leaving it on behalf of the bees,
OMG I just watched 53 min of pure craftsmanship magic and am deeply saddened it‘s „already over“… 😮 looking forward to the next one, you are my hero in regards to overall skills but also patience… 😍💪
not only a master craftsman but also a master mime! That finger wiggling in the gap was hilarious and conveyed your meaning perfectly.
this video reminds me of the time when I was a child and my parents built their house. Besides the shell, they also did most of the stuff inside and outside by themselves and tought me a lot of stuff. Thank you for sharing 😊
This guy never fails to impress me.
You are the most exacting baboon among us. Your dedication to the straight and level in a crooked world is an inspiration to us all.
Amazing as usual. What a great concept, and What a great dad, teaching your daughter some Life skills. Memories she'll keep forever. Daddy / daughter time.
What a transformation. Beautiful. You're truly a craftsman. Watching your daughters enjoy the new garden is payment in full.
Good for you for teaching the little one to be self reliant. My grandpa showed me how to use tools as a little girl and I will always be indebted to him for those invaluable skills.
This man has the luckiest wife in the world. To have such a talented craftsman in house.
And he is the luckiest man having a very patient and understanding wife :-)
To be fair too he does seem to be left to get on with it, it's good to see though he gets some occasional help with the really challenging bits, lol.
Tell my wife the same thing all the time. Maybe one day she’ll agree.
@@swenbos7760 We know nothing about their relationship
A superb transformation and a joy to watch. Thanks for posting it - now I'll be waiting for the next part. 👍👍
The bit with your daughter hammering the block in half was like a Wes Anderson cut!!
Smart girl! You're never too young to learn home remodeling!
Of course…. You MADE the umbrella holders. No Home Depot stuff for you!! LOL. Excellent,, Missed your videos. Glad you posted a new one. LOVED your daughter helping.
That's a fair afternoons work, though you did have some help ! Good to see the girls help with the levelling off after you'd finished, lol. Great work as always and always an education !
Makes it look better? You’re being too humble. You made it look PHENOMENAL! I don’t remember the last time 50 min went by so fast. I am excited to see Part 2.
Daughters always love helping and being with their dad, I know I did. I miss him sooo much ❤
Looks really lovely. Very clever system. Love the planters. But your girls steal the show. They are adorable.
What a fascinating hour! As ever, I love watching you work, you’re such a perfectionist and know exactly what you want and how to do it. Thank you. And the patio looks lovely!
Brother, I always anticipate your videos. Every time I see a new one, I wonder, "what am I going to be amazed by this time?....I am never disappointed. Thanks much for your content.
I am impressed, as always. You never do anything by halves! A quality job.
Always helped my dad with his projects and learned so much about a lot of life. Good on you, dad! and well done, Miss!
You are putting a lot of faith in the strength of those tiles. Jeez
That style of elevated paving is used a lot commercially and for common area patios of large condo/apartment buildings.
I think the stilts underneath are going to be an issue too. 1. They're plastic, and 2. They aren't secured to the pavers they sit on.
@brians7749 Later on, he is shown using construction adhesive to secure the pedestals to the pavers, and the tiles to the pedestals.
That looks the absolute nuts Russell!!!
“Under cloak” - a word I have never heard 😳😬
@craigwilliams6734. I first heard the term “undercloak” with regard to slate roofing. Apparently the undercloak is a line of slates fixed with their long edge horizontally - end to end (along the line of the where the rainwater gutter will be). Then the rest of the slate tiles are fixed in the usual way over the undercloak. This gives a slight upward lift to the lowest/first row of slates and would seem to create a better run off for rainwater into the guttering. Nowadays the slate roofers use metal clips - rather than clout nails, to fix the tiles so a damaged tile can easily be replaced.I watched a show on the TV where Tommy Walsh was re - roofing an old building with traditional slate tiles, and heard him use the term. Stay safe and well.
Please continue with the little lessons for your daughters. They will thank you when they mature.
Man that looks amazing! What a transformation. Your wife is a lucky girl to have you around haha
LMAO "too sunny" what a crack up
Any day when Yorkshire workshop posts a video is an amazing day.. loving your content bro, the kitchen turned out amazing
Hello, a beautiful demonstration of efficiency and ingenuity. The result is in keeping with this. I look forward to the rest.
I don't normally comment on vids but I found this one particularly interesting. Great job, well done. Can't wait for Part 2.
nice idea , no more of the awkward conversations with the neighbor's at night while digging the hole for the bodies just slip em under the raised patio !!
The only problem is the stink will rise up through the gaps…
@@lawrencemanning lime or shake n vac , cone on man do the thinking !!! 🤪🤪
Shake and vac? That's new to me.
My favourite channel on CZcams. Great projects done to perfection by a true craftsman. Amazing skills on display. I’d happily sit and watch live feed of the workshop. Please don’t stop sharing your work.
Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant attention to detail as ever. Great to see your little helpers getting involved as well. Awesome!
Amazing Russ as usual, just great craftsmanship to someone who can do everything with such quality work!!! And it was so nice to see Tiffany....she’s beautiful and looks like she takes to working alongside you❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I so look forward to seeing ur videos🎉
You are doing a remarkable job a true craftsmen that house is going to be beautiful! Been watching your working on it since about the beginning.
Sir, Every project you undertake ends up looking stunning. I love watching you work. You are a very skilled man 👍
You're the Chuck Norris of DIYers... Love your videos...😎
24:20 you should invest in a multitool cutter. It's indispensable for small jobs and precise cuts on the spot.
Brilliant patio - I didn’t know it could be done like this 😮 it’s amazing! 😃
Curious to have an arch at the bottom of a wall?
That chimney stack would make a great bread/pizza oven chimney 🎉
Как повезло вашей семье - вы прекрасный хозяин с умелыми руками! Тиффани - очаровательная папина помощница!
So happy I found this channel everytime a new video comes out. Amazing work
What a Nice build! 😊
I love to Watch the videos, no Music and endless talk 😊
Thanks 😊
I admire your way of working. This is a way of life. The life of a mechanic. Most fulfilling.
Cleanest work I´ve seen in a long time plus bonus content of the two ladies stress testing it! Thank you!
Brilliant channel, I love to watch your work. You make everything look so simple. A true craftsman, so admiring of your ability.. Thank you.
I loved the finesse of removing the PVC door sill. Starts by neatly cutting it off with a saw. Ends by smacking it with a hammer.
Good job Tiff! You are so strong and smart! 💪🏽❤💪🏽
So i've realised what makes this channel so mesmerizing, for me at least. The internet is full of hack this, next level that clickbait fakery that could be watched back to back with not a nugget of learning gleaned. By contrast, New Yorkshire Workshop is tye REAL version of them all put together. Every time Inwarch a post, let's say on this occasion about am hour, I learn an absolute ton of stuff!!
Nice job, and good to see your daughter getting involved 👍
Tiffany is a great little helper!
Teach a child that they can do anything and nothing can stop them
“General Jankiness” - One of my favorite military heroes.
I've just found your channel, no annoying chatter or overwhelming music, so far I'm interested.😊
Loved the garden patio but adored your little helper! ❤
I'd be terrified to drop anything on those tiles for fear of breaking them.
They're one inch porcelain - would have to be dropping a kettlebell on them to do any harm. Super hard and sturdy.
What a transformation, the plant that you thought was a weed that the bee's liked is "Comfrey" this is an old very desirable
the plant that has certain properties and I would recommend you don't get rid of it. I recommend reading about it and then deciding. great job.
Great work mate!! Love it!! Those porcelain tiles are not easy to work with never mind cut!! Looking forward to the next part already!!
You are a living legend, mate… inspiring!
Amazing job on the renovations. Looks awesome
Very nice! It is good to have helpers as long as you can keep them interested. Thanks.
21 mins in and I’m thinking…..WHAAAT.
Then I think……..trust the process…!
The 'weed' with the purple/blue flowers is called Comfrey and is a medicinal herb. Good for poultices and ointment for bruises. It's other name is Knitbone which refers to it's ability to help broken bones to heal faster. It can also be used to make a liquid fertilizer for the garden. A very useful weed that's great for the bees as well.💕
Weeds are just flowers. Flowers are always good in my book, especially the ones the bees actually like.
