    A tip for drilling steel when there is concrete underneath, leave the steel bit hand tight in the chuck, when it starts to break through the steel it will stop, remove the steel bit and put in the carbide regular tight with a key. You will continue through the little bit of steel left and into the concrete. Learned this trick when installing storefront glazing into steel columns that are poured solid with concrete.

    One other Tip, never trust anyone that tells you the power / breaker is off...
    .I did a few times and one had a 600 lb gate open on me and fall on top of me
    when a car pulled up to get in the gated entrance......
    plug your grinder or a voltage checker gizmo in the outlet and check for power...

      Man that brings back memories. I was working for a guy when I was in highschool, that knew just enough to be dangerous.
      He had a brother that had just gotten out of jail, and had addiction issues.
      My boss would always send me out with his brother because I was the only one level headed enough to deal with him.
      TWICE! The guy went to monkeying around with the breakers while I was changing switches/fixtures. I got popped pretty good both times, but nothing to serious. I was very lucky, and the second time I had to whoop a guy old enough to be my dad.

    Normally with thin sheet metal applications similar to this, I will overlap the two pieces (new and old metal), secure / clamp everything as close to final positioning as possible, perhaps throw on a tack or 2, and then cut the entire seam in through the overlap which leaves a butt joint with perfectly mirrored sides and a gap no bigger than the thickness of a thin cut off wheel, which even that can most likely be brought to zero with the right amount of carefully applied "tap tap tap-ah-roo's."
    I definitely enjoy yr vids and wish you continued success. Keep turnin' and burnin' man!

    Do you figure out the time you spend standing around talking into your hourly rate or is that just something anyone who hires you has to pay for?
    Moving around a camera, giving updates every 15 minutes while filming it, and all the other time that gets used up on the TH-cam process has to be noticeable on the bill from a customer perspective.
    If you spend a half hour filming throughout the process, that's another 60 bucks they gotta pay.
    If that's how that works that's weak

It’s why I get every job in WRITING. I make a little contract with every customer.
