Build an Old-fashioned Fence for the Garden - The FHC Show, ep 21

In episode 21 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show, Pa Mac shows how to build a practical and eye-pleasing paling garden fence, using the natural materials around him. Watch as he uses a froe and mallet (along with other old-fashioned hand tools) to split and rive some wood palings to keep chickens and cows out of his garden.

Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)

Also visit to find articles, posts, photographs, and encouragement for today's self-sufficient farm, homestead, or permaculture lifestyle. (And be sure to check out the General Store for Pa Mac's books or DVDs at
