@W! Old Ninny.. You the Tax Payer can not have that or use it!!!!! Whammbulance time with their cries!! Guess they forgot who the US GOVERNMENT belongs too!! The US Citizen ( Joe Q tax payer.. I say keep them for just in case.. they are yours by right anyway!)
What happen to the 100 dollar chainsaw the extreme power brand?
Crikey, brother. At least your grandpappy worked for Ford. My ex-wife's uncle was the head mechanic for the Pike's Peak incline railroad. I ended up with all of his cabinets and boxes of partsand oddball tools. 30 years I have had them and still working on sorting through them I have hauled them across 7 states and not yet finished with culling the unnecessary stuff. But it is on my bucket list. Bad news is I am now 70 years old and not much time left to finish this project. The bonus is that about once per year I find a nugget inside the pile of junk that fits exactly what I need. Good luck and Godspeed.
Wranglerstar, why not start a WS discord channel? It's simple to do, you can assign people as admins to help moderate and it's free. You can have different channels for different projects or playlists and people can upload pictures and chat.
If you haven't thrown those USPS totes away already... Just hit them with some random spray paint you have around the shop like most of us have laying around. Then the cry babies won't know.
I work for UPS, and just like USPS? We toss those things out all the time when they get to the point that someone using them might get hurt if they're being careless or not paying attention.
Should you HAVE to conceal what they are and where they came from? No. But it'll shut the crybabies up and make your life far easier.
Just saying. Thanks for the great vids.
I thought I was the only one with those USPS totes around. I too have been back bitten by hundreds of people. Little do they know we mail tens of thousands of packages per month out and have nothing to do but be a tattle tailing "ninny". My goodness I am so glad someone is sharing my rage.
I tell ya, I felt tons better after the rant and I don't even have any USPS totes! :) :)
I work at UPS Worldport and see so many of those things laying around.
I'm partial to milk crates...
I love how you honour your grandfather by talking about him, always good to hear the stories. I still think about my grandparents every day, they were such a massive part of my childhood
Those "grease gun" parts are actually crankcase ventilation check-valves. They usually are inserted into a rubber grommet on a valve cover and then attach to a hose that goes to a vacuum source so that all of the compression gasses that leak past the piston rings are run back through the engine to be burned rather than into the atmosphere. There is a small check valve that slams shut if the engine backfires so the fire can not travel into the crankcase and ignite the gasses in the crankcase. That prevents the oil pan and valve covers from being blown off.
My husband and I Love your videos and have been watching from Tulsa, OK for about 3 months!! Try not to get frustrated with “knit pickey” people who watch only to criticize!!
You have such a good wholesome family channel!! Thank you and your beautiful family and God bless you all🙏
"I'm Not A Smart Man" -Cody Wranglerstar 2018. That is by far one of the funniest things you've said this year! Keep up the awesome content!!
yes hilarious moment :D
Yes, his modesty might be my favorite thing about his channel!!
🤣🤣
This is a sign of intelligence. Dumb people tend to do the opposite, going around claiming they are smart.
When my dad passed he handed me down an assortment ranging from machinist to carpenter to auto mechanic and everything in between! I totally cherish all of it and even so having triplicates is a bit much so over the last year I’ve been thinning and cleaning and organizing myself. I took over my garage and now have a wood shop, welding area and two bays for vehicle repair and it’s heaven. Evaporust is the answer to whatever your rust questions are, man does it do what it claims and even though I wear gloves it’s safe to get on you. Sure beats hours of time on the wire wheel or using harsh chemicals that’s for sure! You’re a lucky man to have the stuff your grandpa left you, he could probably fix ANYTHING which is the same standard I like to follow as well. Thanks for sharing and I’m looking forward to seeing more😉 Enjoy your day
Not certain of the wisdom of a battery charging station right over the top of your stored gasoline... perhaps a rethink is in order.
In the idea you sound right. But as an electrician I would say the probability that something bad happens regarding that is so low that it wouldn't matter that much.
Now if it bothers it's and easy fix anyway but not necessary.
Agree, the likelihood of a gasoline vapor LEL and a spark are pretty remote - but not zero. Why take a chance?
@@doormanindustries8277 I would be more concerned with the abrasive saw.
Somewhat agree: there are several spark sources in an ag type shop, as well as fuels, solvents, oils...
Common sense management and practices are called for. Our host seems pretty capable of both.
you didn't notice the metal chop saw right over the gas? next to the batteries....
When I moved out some 20 years ago I got a similar tool-set from my dad. Many of the things I still have.
Can we please get a shop tour
Garrett Waters that would be great
I have been doing a similar shop rat out and sort. Evaporust is a miracle worker. I kept my extra 10mm and 9/16” wrenches and sockets as I am always using misplacing those two sizes in the shop. What are doing with spray paint and other cans of lubricant and cleaners? Need ideas.
@@robinhoff4598 I made shelves on an angle with just enough space in between to fit a spray can. Slot them in at an angle, and they catch on the next higher shelf instead of falling down.
Yes, for sure. Let the dirty laundry hang out before you evapo-rust it. Stop the edits-we deserve the truth.
That’s a neat picture on your name
Great to see as I’ve been doing a little shop organizing myself. A lot of what I have is from my grandpa and it is tough to get rid of but you are right you just have to make the hard decision. Keep up the good work!
I don't know what they are?? PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) valves
Exactly!
I was wondering if someone said it.
Me too
+
That's the one
Did this five years ago, I have a lot less stress now. I used to work on heavy equipment and fork lifts so I had up to 3/4 drive 3 1/2" sockets, torque multipliers, wrenches to 2" , Mico hydraulic quad gauges 0-5000 psi, vac gauges , and much more, I had a couple heart attacks that left me on disability and I couldn't mess with that stuff anymore. I kept a set of combination wrenches SAE up to 1" and metric up to 22mm , 1/4 " drive ratchet and sockets sae and metric, same for 3/8" and 1/2 " drive. I tried selling my tools and had to deal with so many ignorant people making offers of like $20 for a gauge set that cost $400 or $5 for a Simpson 260 meter. $10 for a set of Mac angle wrenches to 1" . I ended up taking a huge loss but met a young man through church that was just starting with working as a truck mechanic. He was married and a kid on the way. I knew he couldn't pay me what they were worth but figured what the heck. I made him a deal he couldn't refuse . Before I let somebody rape me I"d (almost) give it away, I used to hear about some guys that would hear about some mechanic that died and then they would go and just rip the widow a new one, I couldn't work with tools that were gotten like that.
Wasted my day watching you clean out your shop instead of cleaning out mine.... 😉 thanks for sharing.
I too, have and love that media blast cabinet. The number one best thing I ever did was replace the plexiglass with a piece of plate glass, or even regular window glass. Yes, eventually it will become cloudy, but mine has been in use for more than two years and is still very clear. The best part is never having to deal with the stupid plastic sheets! Do that, and you will never dread using it because you 'can't' see what you're doing!
To easily keep tools in place in tool drawers. Pour molding silicone in drawer. Much easier than cutting foam plus very durable.
100% correct on flat surfaces becoming dumping grounds. I fixed this at my old work by changing all the shelving to 45 degree angles so only the item intended for that spot would fit there. A bit like a shadow-board system but for everything larger.
My grandfather had a whole garage stuffed full of things, squirreled away from the 30's to the 80's. It was always an adventure to paw through different shelves, boxes and drawers! You never knew what would be found.
I’ve been sorting bolts nuts screws washers etc. finding a lot of stuff I just don’t need. Also have been restoring rusty tools with vinegar, takes a little longer ( 2-3 days ) but it works very well. Found that I need to wash them is dish soap to keep them from flash rusting . Great inspirational video.
"I don't care what's in your shop, why do you care what's in mine?"
*Proceeds to show us all everything that has ever been in his shop*
Be... Because you make these videos?
But, yeah, the Postal Service boxes are easy to come by. Post offices throw them out by the dozen all the time. Just show up and ask if they have any that they're disposing of. They'll probably ask you to take all of them.
Thats the only reason I watch these Videos. I seriously do not care whats in his shop. I Always watch his videos when I have something to do in the house which is super boring. I then let him talk, knowing that there is no point in seriously listening to it as it is nonesense anway, while I do my work haha
Great activity for any shop!
I can tell you why the V8 vehicle emblems went from bolts to adhesive. Every hole you punch in an exterior body panel is additional corrosion risk. Even before ED coating and top coat
The braided cable clamps are known as “Crosby Clamps “. Always used in pairs with the application reminder “never saddle a dead horse “
A suggestion might be to make some small wooden dividers to separate each individual type of clamp...it just seems counter productive to have to search through the bottom of the box for that one small fitting which inevitably you end up pouring the whole box out to find what you want.
Really inspiring video. When I cleaned my boxes, I sort things by material (rubber, plastic, ...) first. And I didn't know what to do with it next, so now I have boxes full of junk sorted by material. I now what I have to do next.
And as someone says some dividers/plastic bags for same items in one box will be useful, at least you will know how many of specific clamp you have, if you need more of them. Now you must search whole box first.
Ya know Cody, it's rumored that back in the day when you were stealing those USPS shipper boxes you invented the hash tag. Why all this modesty?
Obviously I'm just ribbing, but because people are sensitive and easily offended I wrote this lil disclaimer.
Enjoyable series......I keep all of my box end wrenches on a carabiner. When a job comes up I just grab it and go and have all size with me. The smaller wrenches, ignition wrenches and such are on one of those cable key chains that screw together. Works great!
If you want an inexpensive solution to somewhat waterproof the labels. You can use clear packing tape or clear scotch tape.
You just need a marker that doesn't smear for that. Milwaukee markers or the sharpie industrial does good work for that. They're wayyyy better than regular markers. Marking somewhat abrasive materials like carpet they would get destroyed so fast if they weren't one of those two options. and slip materials they would hardly ever write without smudging.
Write on the paper, then tape over both sides/edges.
@@wobblysauce Write on the tape, then tape over *that.*
I absolutely love these videos I'm one of those people that believes that everything worth doing should be done with a system and an organizational structure. Way to go
HAHAHA, the rant was great. The thing about the USPS totes is that it's actually illegal to have those and is also illegal to throw them away. My whole family works for USPS, and we have them too 😶.
Her Eric, at 11:24 the "more of these, what are these" as an Automotive mechanic of 10 years, i can tell you, to are a PCV valve. Or a *positive crank ventilation valve* that what allows and crank case pressure built up in the engine to not blow out your dip stick or oil seals, it take that pressure and redirects it back into the air intake tube :)
Great videos! I am also organizing and setting up my shop for the first time. It is a 40 x 60 that I built 4 years ago and was almost full within 2 years. The struggle is real, as they say! It has been a lot of work, but I'm finally getting organized for the first time. It is satisfying work. Keep up the good work!
Exactly where I am also with my shop and all that's in it.. Wranglerstar is my guiding light, and thanks for all you do and for being an inspiration!!!
I recently inherited my father in law's shop when he downsized a few years ago. He was an appliance repair man for 40 years and accumulated a ton of little bits, tools, and things into a similar super drawer unit. I've yet to go through and sort that all out, yet here I am watching another man do what I've been procrastinating about.
All the oil you go through I'd get a waste oil heater for the shop
Or convert it to diesel
Impractical. If only 10 gallon of feedstock is available for fuel conversion or WMO oil burner, it is a non-starter.
Poor cody will probably roll in his grave over this... lol. But fairly clean oil changes I use the oil for bar oil in my stihl. Never had a problem. Anything dirty I keep in a 55 gallon drum. Drum has a snap on removable lid which I use ( now environmentalists will roll in their graves) but I soak my wooded 7-8" fence posts in. 6 months on one end, flip, 6 months on the other end. Then those are my fence building posts for the next year. Think old telephone poles ( yes I know different chemicals, but same idea). I'm sure our beloved cody would get lots of grief for doing either of these, but it recycles my oils, and hey, dont have to show everything on camera ;) wink wink
@@doormanindustries8277 well I figured between the oil changes in the van, the truck, the SUV, Jack's dirt bike, small engines and tractor multiple times a year plus what neighbors may want to get rid of it would work out pretty well for heating the shop for a couple hrs here and there for vehicle maintenance
Bar oil is dispensed on the top of the saw, right where the chain comes off the drive sprocket.
Proper bar oil has an additive to make it sticky, so it doesn’t sling off the bar tip. Engine oil will pretty much sling off as the chain makes the small radius 180 degree turn at the tip, so the hardest working and hottest part of the bar sees almost no lube oil.
But, it’s your saw.
I agree with others about storing flammables in one area away from sparks, etc. I keep gas containers and 20# propane bottles next to the chainsaw station where I store the oils etc in a cabinet under the chainsaws. When I started on my barn re-organization, as I found stuff that belonged somewhere else it was moved to the area, as I got to that area I would clean and organize it. The last area is the machine/tool area and its a disaster, but gathering tools into the rollaway which is also a disaster area! cant wait to see how you will organize your rollaway!!!! I need to clean and seal my 4x8' worktable with something too. It has the vise on the corner and a chop saw mounted in the middle which needs a new stand somewhere else! Thanks for doing this series!!
I love your rants. I really do. It is the real Cody. I rant and it is a relief to do so. Nobody gets hurt and I feel better after I let out some “steam.”
That's all I need. This ashtray, this paddle game, the remote control, matches, this lamp and this chair and that's all I need.
Those half moons are called woodruff keys
I went to my old job yesterday to visit and when I got home I cleaned my kitchen and now it's spotless. It's been a while since my kitchen was that clean and it feels good.
I never noticed the USPS boxes before. They look pretty lightweight and handy.
Time 5:25 tool draw, right in the middle the deep socket holder...with the arm comes over the top, I want it. Looks like my dad's ! I grew up pinching my fingers on that thing... get him sockets! when I was a kid (late 80's-early 90's) helping fix on cars, trucks, tractors! Oh the memories!
Love the idea of the online community page to share ideas and solutions subscribers have implemented in their shops. Maybe a Facebook community page? I know Wood Whisperer has one of these set up that I’ve been following for a while now. Lots of great people there. Thanks for the motivation to get off my butt and get my own shop in order.
Bolt that V8 to your tool box, Also have you seen the throw all bolt bin hack where you take a metal bake pan cut one corner off it so when you dump your bin in it you can poor them back in the box?
There's also the trick where you dump the bin onto a rag of some sort. When you've got what you need you just pick up the lot of it by the corners and put it - rag and all - back in. When you need something again you pull the whole bundle out and can spread it, find what you need and put it back (without dumping bits of dirt on your work surface as well.)
When I saw that emblem my first thought was, "that sure would look good on my tool box."
Grab the V8
Cody I'm an engineering major that does nothing but math and science and you are still one of the most knowledgeable and wise people I have ever seen. Please don't ever say that you're not a smart man again. Also thank you for teaching me a heck of a lot about hard work, craftsmanship, and what it means to be a good man.
LOL< thank you Krause. Now, get back to your studies,
I'd try ebay with that old V8 emblem. May really help someone.
That’s a gem there.:
Agreed I'd be happy as hell to have it soo many were taken off the cars or stolen
Another great video. Your rants are always on point. A couple suggestions. 1. Keep on the lookout for a flammables cabinet. 2. Compressors normally should be mounted with some type of insulator between it and the concrete. It helps lessen the noise transmission through the floor.
I cleaned out my great uncles shop, also my grandfathers shop. Ive sorted more bolts and random things then i ever care to again. Lol so many hard choices on things to keep or throw away
Wow, love that air compressor. I also have one of those drawer cabinets but mine is metal. Filled with all sorts of stuff my father in law collected over the years. I've at least labeled what's in the drawers, next is to eliminate the stuff I'll never use (One drawer is timing chains for some old cars). You about made my ocd head explode when you poured that sorted out container of soft clamps into the drawer. :)
metal cutting saw close to gas cans, not the best spot.
Whats wrong with that? I have my welder and welding table right next to mine!😁
Thinking the same thing
That was cool, to have stuff like passed down to you by your grandfather that can still actually still be used. Seen some of the other tools you've gotten passed down but Especially the odds and ends come in handy you may not think about having on hand. But its there for ya just in case. Especially when the parts store just isn't a 10 min drive away and not having to spend the money. Thank you for the video
You can create a Facebook page if you haven’t already, to post the photos of the work shops and such. Create a community the people can connect and talk to you and each other
I just made the common man's Workshop FB group. Would you like to be an admin. I will need help.
@@Prepare2Prosper nice
@@Prepare2Prosper I can be and try my best at it I work night shift hopefully that don't affect much
Those allen key multi-tools are made by Eklind Tool from Chicago. They have been making hex keys for almost 100 years, exclusively, and are the Snap On of the hex key industry.
They are the only ones I know of who make metal bodied ones, and not giant, over-sized, "comfort" grip ones, that you can actually use on the daily if you need to.
I have a few of them I got from my grandpas garage too, I use their Uni-Key one (I think the same model one you had with the 5/32 being the highest, and 1/16 the lowest) almost daily, it has every single size Ive ever needed on any of my firearms, from putting a new rail segment on my AR handguard, changing scopes on my long rifles, to adjusting the laser on my .380. I keep it ontop of my multitool, laying flat inside a leather sheath, so it kind of looks like a T, but doesnt take up more room than the sheath itself.
But it has come in handy for a lot of things over the years other than the firearms too. Out of all the tools of his I have now, this one is by far one of the most sentimental, as odd as that seems.
Another EVAPO-RUST convert, if you watch any of the other TH-cam channels that restore tools of any kind, EVAPO-RUST is always hanging out somewhere. Just don't forget to coat the tools with a light oil or you will need the EVAPO-RUST again.
Great stuff, that Evaporust!. Got my first sample at a Farm Show last summer. USE FLUID FILM on the metals after you get the rust off. Nothing else like it in the world. I also coat the underside of my trucks to effectively fight road salt and corrosion. Made for the Navy ships in saltwater back in WWII.
I have the same set of Allen keys as ones you soaked in the Evapo-Rust, mine are in need of a good soaking too, although I use a homemade Rust Remover recipe of equal parts carbonated coke & white vinegar with 1 cup of baking soda stirred in, soak your tools in the mixture overnight, then next day give tools a light rub with cloth or coarse brush, works good and at a fraction of the cost of these fancy products, and is still enviro-friendly.
I found a time capsule at my local park and it had a bunch of 70's and 80's porn in it. VHS, baby.
found a "time capsule" in my garage when I was cleaning up to sell the place (70's porno mag)
@@rbmk__1000 I bought a house and in the rafters of the garage I found an old army chest from the Korean war era. Had all of the persons military belongings in it.
On the waste oil front, might I suggest asking some of your local auto repair shops if they heat with waste oil. I have a diesel truck so between my truck and the wife’s car I get about 5 gallons of waste oil in a shot. And I have several shops that heat with it and are glad to take all the used stuff I can give them. It helps my neighbor and keeps my garage free of used oil at the same time.
Mr W. I'd like to offer a suggestion for all those old odds and ends you saved, the old house things like switches and plumbing fittings and hinges and such, many people could use them still, where I live, many of the houses are turn of the century (1900) to the the mid 50's.
Many people cannot afford to upgrade their homes due to fees, ability, and such, but they can replace an old switch with a similar functioning old switch if they can find it for the cost of the switch.
Habitat for Humanity would love to get those old odds and ends if they are still usable, They were super appreciative last summer when I went through my collection and donated all that old stuff to them. Even old wood pane windows.
Shop's looking great! Merry Holidays!
Those were PVC valves! I figured being a Jeep guy, you would have known that! You live in a beautiful area! I love the bread baking company down the hill from you!!! And the guy with the antique truck with headlights that is in his front yard!! I was visiting my daughter in Tacoma area in 2016. Mt Hood was covered that day as was "Mt Fuji"!
Hmmmmm .....do you want charging station (and chop saw etc) right near the fuel cans? My Spider Senses are tingling. I would feel better if gas cans are of all off on their own in their own area.... just a thought.
I use takeaway food trays to help organise my tool chest drawers. But I'm also a weirdo toolmaker so everything HAS to have it place. This really helps when my daughters or wife are looking for something in the toolbox and I can tell them exactly where it is. Really helpful when working as part of a team or with a TA or Apprentice. Not that the apprentice has ever been allowed to use my tools...
Pcv valves
Bump!
Okay, I just got teary at the thought of Jack leaving, and he's a year younger than mine. We'll be facing this soon, won't we? As one of your 2% female viewers, I'm doing the same thing, but it looks a little different. I'm setting out the extra sewing machine, and getting it overhauled. I'm fixing old furniture and figuring out what pots and pans she'll need. She wants a dowry when she leaves home, and I think that is a wonderful thing. She'll be ready to start her own family.
A poor man's workshop Facebook group would be an awesome place.
I just made the common man's Workshop FB group. Would you like to be an admin. I will need help.
I have a friend in his 30's that hasn't come to this realization yet but desperately needs to. You should create a playlist of all the videos once you're done with the consolidation. Has definitely inspired me.
I agree with most of your workshop intentions and I absolutely loved your rant. Your Grandads drawer cabinet is beautiful, maybe a light resoration with some wood oil and some labelling using aged car and copper plate writing? Anyway fantastic film thank you. Regards Gareth Wiltshire UK.
Hello Gareth! Bruce Bello
@@brucebello9892 hello Bruce very pleased to meet you . Thanks for reaching out. Regards Gareth Wiltshire.
Cody, excellent job of restoration of your grandfather’s toolbox parts and sorting through and getting Jack’s toolbox together for his future adventure going off to college! Congratulations on putting/finding the Allen wrenches foreign and standard sizes! I don’t know one from the other as far as which is foreign or SAE? I wondered what SAE stood for until you mentioned it in this video!
I'm already missing the postal containers !! :(
I enjoyed seeing all that cool old stuff. I have one old tackle box dedicated to what I like to call my “Macgyver” box. Keep at it you’ll get it done . 👍🏼
You could create a Wranglerstar discord. Plenty tutorials on youtube to show you how its done
This is exactly what he needs. I have been scrolling the comments to see if someone would say the name. For the life of me, I couldn't remember. But yes! A Discord.
Or a reddit page.
Very enjoyable, I love watching these relaxing and informal videos that make me want to go out and buy a ton of tools to probably never use. Once again I love watching your content.
Old ninnys... Lol
I like that organizer, you’ve got. It’ll be fun going through all those drawers. All the talk of waterproof paper makes me think you’re worried they’ll get wet. The coating on the back of the envelope is glue that will activate when it gets wet. Maybe repurpose the other side of the envelopes. :)
The "common mans" shop. lol The guy appears to be loaded and has all the amenities most common people do not. Just saying. I still enjoy the channel though.
It's what the common man can aspire to, perhaps with what they may have some of already.
I kinda think a dude with a solid income could get there with time and hard work
most people with a shop like his have plenty of things and as he says so much of it is from his grandad and dad that's 3 generations of peoples stuff. many people where I live have 3-4 gens of stuff in there shops or barns. not sure what you're seeing that you think he's loaded lol yes he has money to live comfortably but it's not like he's bought a new house to tare down the old no he fixed the old with skilled he knows.I also think that he has worked very very hard for what he has and deserves every last bit.
I'm guessing you've not spent much time in the "country" with country folk. Shops are big, full of "stuff" from the last 100 years from hardware to equipment. It's a lifestyle of necessity...
I'm 32 years old and have just as many tools as he does (with the exception of the wood working stuff). I've been buying tools since I was 15, work hard, let the tools make you money to buy more and then fix your own stuff for free. Not everything needs to be new, you can get great deals on stuff if you're patient, shop garage sales, auctions and trade with friends. I would say what he's got isn't out of reach for most people if they make it a priority...
I'm really enjoying the shop cleanup/organizing videos, very inspirational. Not to be a safety sally, but you may want to rethink having the metal cutting area (sparks) directly next to the fuel storage area. Especially in the heat of summer making more gasoline vapors.
Why not just start blocking people
It's like trying to hold the tide back,
Cody, on the jump start battery pack. In real time 12/13/18 20:30 EST. My wife ran her battery down, using the battery, while my son was at sports. The pack would not start her car. She when into the gym and plunged it in. 10 minutes later, she was able to start her car. I thought you might like to know.
Those Postal containers aren't for personal use.
Why not? They only put that there so they wouldn't be stolen. The penalty shouldn't apply once they have been written off.
@@user2C47 Their property of the United States government.
Says who?
We paid for them. If he wants to use them it's fine by me.
If they gave them to him cares
i had a similar situation that i collected over the years a bunch of bolts. nuts washers screws , so what i did one day was took 5 different containers and had 2 of my kids go through them and separate it all .
and once it was separated i just maintain the order!
Maby a tree cutting or any axe vid ?🐢
Evapro rust followed by a bath in Ballistol. I put all my tools thru a tub of Ballistol. Works great.
Your Grandad was part of a generation that, having lived through the Great Depression, was unable to throw anything away. Not having any money, anything that was acquired was kept because it was clear that you wouldn't be able to buy it in the future and, you might need it. He has brothers in spirit all across the country who've created multiple versions of the same time capsules.
For mice issues, take the drawers out and put a bottom board on or in the bottom and mice can’t climb on them. And but a back on if no back. And give it a good oil or varnish. And pull out bottom drawer and drop moth balls in bottom.
I had a dresser with drawers that mice kept getting in and climbing from drawer to drawer. Putting a bottom on kept them from getting in if the drawers were closed. Moth balls are a simple deterrent.
Watching these videos makes me feel so much better about my own mess. It's nice to know us disorganized folks aren't alone. I was bummed when you finally put the trim on your front door. We finally have the trim for our interior doors and windows, but now we need to find time to do it. This weekend... or next... Allen wrenches. I end up buying new ones every time I need them. I don't have any with me, and couldn't find them if I tried. Then I toss the new ones into a drawer or tool box and the cycle starts all over. Don't even ask about screwdrivers.
That oil sending unit from the looks of it is an oil pressure sending unit to slant 6 Dodge. I'm not sure where else they were used but I am proud to say I am still running one in my slant 6.
maybe you could make a short series of videos where you build small slotted wooden dividers for those drawers. It would help you keep things organized inside them. Good luck on the shop work.
I wish I could steal you for a week to come help me get my shop sorted out, but these videos are the next best thing! Thank you. So much fun.
I believe that is a 50's vintage ford v8 emblem. On line worth about a hundred bucks. You can also dump your small parts out on a towel or rag that way when you're done you can just pick up all four corners and pour them back into whatever container you are using. Oh yeah, Amazon prime has 5 gallons for 69.99 but with out the basket.
Looking forward to seeing more drawers from your grandfather's wooden chest. I used to spend hours in my grandparents' garage looking through old tools and tins of fasteners.
Regarding your waste oil, you can get (if you might have need for) a oil heater or smudge pot. They work great as an outdoor heater and will use up all your used oil. Just an idea.
So, that cabinet of your granddad's is pretty slick! You should try making a duplicate one for bench top use for small parts.
A tool wall is super handy, especially for guest needing some basic tools. My uncle had one and us kids knew we could use those and to ask if we needed something else from another area.
Why not keep your battery powered stuff in the woodshop?
A tire shop in my town takes everybodies used oil to heat shop. He said he saves 1000's per year. Goes through a filter system before going to fuel oil tank and filtered again before use.
Thank you! I burst out laughing when you added the ! point to center the word. I thought I was the only one that had those types of issues. Great producing and editing touch too.
I've had a rock chip in the lower left of the windshield since mid summer. Been in hot and freezing cold weather with no change. My dad last week says better fix that chip. 2 days later I have a cracked windshield now that needs replacing.
In parallel to that Cody comes out with ratchet strap vid; a how to that I just couldn't get through figuring I never use those. Now I have 2 ratchet straps floating around in the back of the Sub. Such is Life!
Waste oil contains a ton of water that will separate out and rust your ailing Jerry cans in short order. Consider purchasing a plastic 55 gallon drum (or whatever size you want) from a facility that will have one. Places like car washes or something will have them. Meat processing facilities, restaraunts, etc. I have two, one for waste oil and one for coolant.
I did not even know my father never mind him leaving me this kind of thing. Your a great example for other men, I have a 15 year old son who now will have something similar now. Thanks and bless you and yours.
That's really great Jack will have a set of tools to start off with. Sweetloaf will probably get a nice set too someday down the road. Good job dad.
Guys! Guys! Listen! We need to take a step back and observe for a second... How lucky are we...that some of our biggest complaints are...the use of postal service containers. Remember when we had to (complain about) struggle for basic needs like food, water, shelter? How thankful we should be... I'm thankful, are you?
In your rolling chest use silicon drawer liners, I live in Texas and the kind you have stick and melt to tools. Make the switch to silicon flat cut to fit liners.
By the way I like the light and shadows.
My dads toolbox is super organized being a boat repair and dealership all by himself it’s super neat!
Cody, the V8 emblem is from an early '50s Ford product. The front fender insignias on my 1951 coupe were identical.
Use hockey pucks instead of bolting the compressor, will help with the vibrations
Adam Savage was specifically talking about draws are where tools go to die. Which is unfortunate as draws are a good dense storage space. I've planned for a while to try something like pin/peg board on hinges so you can have a proper place for tools with no temptation to just drop it on top of the rest, but they can sandwich together like vertical draws.
