The end was amazing 😆
As in, it was amazing when it was over? 🤣
@@CaptainofmyShed "straight cuts and...Deez nuts". 😆
First half of the vid made me laugh, but the 2nd half the watch came together nicely. Love your attitude and love the look of that watch it really pops. Like n Sub from me.
Awesome, thanks for the sub!
@@CaptainofmyShed My pleasure, nice to see someone on youtube just enjoying the experience without all the hype and adverts etc.
Does the case you linked to in the description come with AR coated glass? Sorry about the first dial.. When you pulled out the glue, i was like surely he's not gonna try to do that....
It just says “thickened sapphire crystal”. It does have a slight blue reflection so there is some kind of coating on it. What is AR coated?
I got the RE140 last year to replace an old petrol one. The stihl works great, not as powerful as the petrol one but still did the job. 👍🏻
Yeah its good for domestic use but I cant see how it would ever stack up against petrol power. As long as the job gets done!
Ehhh… pilot watches are about legibility, granted you can be a pilot who enjoy watches that aren’t.
It’s just a bit of fun. It’s just the paper plane design which indicates anything to do with flying but it’s not supposed to be a serious proposition. I’m a pilot and it’s a watch for me so that counts in my book! 😜
Best jet washer under £250? Nope. Your link takes you to £275 less than a day after release. Rip off Britain at it's finest. :)
Haha. It’s obviously gone up. I found it yesterday at £207 somewhere while I was looking for pictures for the thumbnail.
Very smart, I love it!
Looks good with the uniform too !
Thanks for your review, could you tell me what size is the base? as I would like to get one of these, but would rather have the trolly ready before it arrives, just lifting it once onto the wheeled base' Thanj you
57cm x 45cm is the base size. Enjoy the machine and if youre buying direct from Axminster please consider using my link. It’s a great machine!
Great man I love skx 007 watch but I sold it after 5 years of use
Cheers. I really like it. Painting the face was really fun and gives it a unique feel.
@ ❤️
Can you tell me about your thumb 👍 ring? Did you have it made, or did you purchase it?

You knows it!
Well, Captain, i see what you do, and try to keep it fun and interesting. Thank you for that. I wish youre house-move will happen soon for you and the family, must give you quit some stress and impatience. I get that. Happened to me to, and you will see, those things happen with reason. All my best to you and the fam. Keep it up!!
Thanks for the encouraging words. You are correct, what’s meant to be will be.
Hi Mike, Wow !! lovely watch build, a 1 of 1 I do like the paper plane on the watch face, nice project build ans some thing different and enjoyable to watch. As always a great video, catch you soon take care
Thanks. I think the videos coming out right now may not be quite up to scratch but hopefully a bit of fun to watch all the same. Once the chaos of trying to move house is done, I’ll be concentrating on a step up in my content.
I love this kit to adapt vacuum and tools. The hose is great, ribbed exterior but the bore is smooth. Fewer clogs and more efficient. I thought the Rockler kit would solve my problems but it was a bust. This actually works. I have mostly Makita but also 3M, and an assortment of generic off brand tools. They all fit.
Yeah I remain impressed by it.
Nice video. You confirmed everything that has brought me to this machine. Been looking at Charnwood and record power but for around £500 less and 13amp instead of 16 amp this gives me all I need as a serious hobbyist. I think i'll be getting one. If i do I will be happy to use your link. Many thanks.
Great. It’s been really good to date. Only thing I’ve noticed is that the knife block (not the cutters themselves) can rust somewhat easily. Not a big problem but perhaps look into ways of protecting that component from rust.
When you said mallet I was thinking rubber mallet not Thor's Hammer. Awesome! Cheers.
Haha. Sometimes you just need to hit stuff like it was Thanos!
This was a great match Mikey! And the watch is nice too!
Cheers dude. Nice profile pic!
that looks amazing !!
Thanks a lot. Really pleased with how it came out. Good fun to put together too!
what next watch..😊
Well I was hoping to have filmed it by now but I had a whoopsie and ruined the face. But eventually it will be a seiko.
Where did you get the replacement faceplate from?
skxmod.com lots of good Casio modding stuff but a bit pricey.
Does the Centec hose fit Festool vacs? Or do the Centec connectors fit Festool hoses? Thanks fo this post.
I don’t own any festool gear…..yet, so I can’t test this but I feel like I’ve seen a comparison on TH-cam before now. Sorry, I don’t have an answer though.
That's a beautiful custom
Thanks very much.
The water depth resistance can be helpful for people who want a backup to their dive computer, though most divers dont use basic dive watches, especially on their own. A small number of them do, though. Not a bad idea to use a backup, and more divers should use them.
It would be awesome to get it tested at 100m to see if it would stand up to it. My nephew is a diver, it would be cool to give him a Casio to dive with and film it.
@CaptainofmyShed very true, I suppose I was referring to the more popular analog diving watches that come at a more premium price. Either way, great video 👍🏽
it was interesting seeing you do it but I'm not a fan of the color choices... I liked the original.
To each his own but yeah the original is a great watch too! It was fun to do so I’ll probably do another colour scheme in a different video! Thanks for watching!
@@CaptainofmyShed oh I absolutely agree... as a tinker, I love making things my own... I guess that's why I make so many custom watches.
I was about to buy the 120v because it was cheap but it has a bad rating, looking closely I realize that the 60v has a better rating although I don't know if it is the same.
Where are you based? This Saw is 240v in the UK.
@@CaptainofmyShed I am from Colombia. It says it was made in the United States. It says it was made in the estados unidos
@. Yes but power supply in UK is 240v
I tell my son it's my Casio Cubitus.
Haha. Is the Cubitus an AP? A few quid more than this undertaking!
@CaptainofmyShed Cubitus is the new PP. So you know how much more that can be.
@yeah the square one. Only $125,000. That’s a lot of Casios!
How do you combat static and shock?
In all honesty, I don’t do anything. It’s not a big system so it’s easy to blow dust off now and then. I’ve never had a shock from my setup. I can’t remember who did it but one of the bigger UK based woodworking TH-camrs I think, did a video diving into how necessary anti static measures are in a small workshop. Their finding was that it isn’t really needed and many of the go to solutions aren’t actually very affective. So being a bit lazy, I decided that was excuse enough not to do it.
I liked it better before the mods, 😊 lol..
Yeah it’s still a great watch unmodified, but that would have been a much shorter video. Basically “hello, look at this nice watch, bye”. I do like how versatile it can be though. You could have a 1200 for every occasion!
Nicely done! Slick looking update. Creating with limitations, i love it!
Cheers dude. It’s so frustrating being in between workshops.
What a fun little detailing/upgrade project. Turned out sweet. After almost fifty years of steady alcohol consumption something like this is beyond my capabilities. Those little screws would have ended up in the vacuum cleaner and the watch in the bin, I'm sure. :-)
Thanks. Sorry to hear that. Maybe a wall hanging clock mod would be an option?
Classic upgrade.
Thanks very much.
That actually turned out alright, nice transformation.
You sound surprised 🤣🤣
Happy New Year.
To you too!
You talk about sharpness - is it actually possible to sharpen these things, and if so, how would you go about it?
Good question. I guess sanding the face on a flattening plate of some sort would work but you might loose the text over time. Im only going to get light use from it so it should last a good amount of time before i need to sharpen.
@@CaptainofmyShed Thanks! By the way, I don't think you're a cock at all :) Keep up the good work!
Never thought I'd see a Bohemian-looking Stone Cold Steve Austin unboxing a plunge saw in 2025 😅😃
Haha! That’s a new one on me. I’ll take it though!
This is a really neat little bench, and I appreciate the budget nature as well. Do you have plans, or is it all just from an idea and a sketch?
I did at one point have a cut list but no I don’t have plans sorry.
Sorry to hear about your house sale issue. Our system seems to be designed to cause the maximum possible hassle and stress for the minimum amount of houses that change hands! Hope 2025 brings a good resolution...
Yep it’s not exactly designed to aid the process of selling houses is it. Fingers crossed for this year!
Happy New Year from San Diego, California. Sorry you aren’t moving (yet) but I am sure that the right buyer will be found soon. My shop is 7’x11’ (just over 2 meters x just under 3 1/2 meters) so I guess I shouldn’t complain if you can work out of the middle of a moving storeroom 😁. Since I’m fairly new to your channel I am looking forward to whatever you post. Thank you for sharing, stay busy and be creative!
Haha, yep I should add that my diamond slippers have been chaffing recently too! Welcome to the channel, there will be all sorts of nonsense posted this year. I hope you like it!
All up for vids on painting and drawing :-)
You got it!
Man that sucks! The stress of selling a house isn't fun. Hopefully you get a new buyer soon!
Viewing on Friday, fingers crossed. 🤞
Hi Mike, sorry to hear your house deal has fallen through, gutted for you, hope things work out soon for you. I wish you and yours all the best for 2025 catch you soon, take care
Thanks. Happy New Year!
Awesome shop! Can't wait to see what you do with the knowledge you have now with your new one!
Thanks dude. Hopefully I’ll do it justice!
Sorry to hear about your house sale falling through, absolute nightmare. Good luck for the future though and A Happy New year to you and your family. I hope 2025 brings you happiness and a move. 🙂
Happy new year to you too! What’s meant to be will be!
Nightmare on the house move front. Cool.pressies though :)
Yeah a real pain. We’ll see how it all pans out, some fun projects on the way though.
What are the dimensions of your shop and was it overly restrictive? I’m planning to build one in my garden so just looking at options
6m x 3.7m x 2.7m, a little over 2.5 in height required by permitted development but no complaints and headroom is valuable.
And no, not restrictive for most small to medium projects.
Cheers, im looking at roughly that size so good to know 👍
Captain, don’t leave packing you workshop to the last minute, we moved 18 months ago and I underestimated how long it took to pack everything away properly, it a actually took longer to pack my workshop than it did packing the house, 😂 good luck with the move 👍🏼
I hear you. Ive started already but the move may fall through now so I have nowhere to create!
Leaving an old friend behind but onto the next chapter! Excited to see what you build for the new shop. Best of luck!
Awesome! Thank you!
I can’t wait. I have some smaller projects in mind in the meantime.
RE Wood storage. The racks look good but I find storing wood in my workshop a waste of valuable space. I built a kind of lean to shed out of 5mm acrylic sheets that were ex covid office dividers. If you had space for a basic garden shed or could build something external for wood storage (doesn't need to be acrylic!) it's good to keep your stock separate in my experience as wood in the workshop always ends up in a mess! I also built a rolling cart for sheet goods. The advantage of that is you can access the rear sheets much easier and move it out to slot sheets in & out, which is tricky against a wall. Mine lives in my wood store but you could build one for the workshop too. I can't remember whose design I pinched from TH-cam. Possibly Peter Millard. I'm a bit of a hoarder when it comes to wood & keeping it organized is one of my biggest challenges & when it gets disorganised I can waste half a day faffing about, moving it from place to place endlessly.
Yeah I did think about building some kind of shelter at the back of the workshop but just didn’t have the space. Hopefully the new place will have a few more possibilities because I agree, it’s a waste of space.
This is a very well planned and nicely thought-out project. You have really made the most of the extension possibilities. That dual saw/router table was a damned good idea. In smaller areas it's so easy to paint yourself into a corner (I do that all the time🙄). How are you finding the Axminster saw? I'm looking forward to seeing the changes and tweaking you're going to do to the fence- as they usually need something done to them. Looks like you've got yourself a nice organized work station. Greeting from France.
I am between workshops at the moment as we are in the process of moving house. The fence upgrades I have planned should take place early next year all being well!
Good luck on the house move. Looking forward to watching your new workshop being built.
I cant wait to get stuck into a new build!
