    Merlon thought summer was over... boy was he wrong! Temperatures climbed back up and it is time for watercraft activities! The season is almost over.. there will be plenty of work in the winter time and the weather will be nicer!

    That style of hacksaw with an automatic off button was in every workshop in Australia in the 70s in my memory..

    Those old toys, patch them up, Enjoy , then patch them up again, rinse and repeat. Find another on and on. Sounds good to me.

    What I really like about your channel is I learn stuff every time and see old things I've never seen before.The first time I rode a jet ski was when we rented 2 stand-ups for 30 minutes riding in the Gulf of Mexico and we could barely walk when we got back. And we thought we were in good shape.

    @frankhage1734 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Don't forget to show us the hacksaw in operation with new blades. Other than the noise, the jet-skiing looks like awesome fun. I personally think 2-stroke engines for any type of transportation should be illegal. With jet-skis, all that oil ends up in the water.

    Loved that piece of history "in action" (instrument )that use to reside in a printing company? Lube, oil & then the art of getting it running; & then the move to under body work on vehicles; then the romp & ride on the water in the afternoon, adrenaline pumps and 2 stroke machines glide on the water. A good day for you hopefully & sorry re the big heat.

    I mean this very respectfully and in good natured fun… as I watch your videos, I keep thinking Merlin reminds me of someone from the good old days… I finally figured it out… Thomas Magnum left Hawaii and P.I. work; along with Rick and TC, then met Jimmy in AZ and started doing cool car projects after giving Robin Masters back the red Ferrari… just for laughs. Nobody get uptight… 😊

    I thought I saw one of those old 3-wheeled postal Cushman’s in the background. My pop was a lot like you. If something was broken, he could fix it better than new!! He got one of those Cushmans, fixed it and we had a ball running it around the property and the neighborhood. And my dad also had an old power hacksaw similar to yours. But smaller. I think he gave it away when he got a chop saw from Harbor Freight. Thanks for bringing back the
    Memories of
    My childhood.

    I put a 500cc Rotax engine out of a Skidoo snowmobile, onto a cheap 2 seater chinese go kart-- (the engines are very similar to those seadoo's, minus all the marine accessories.). We clocked that go kart on gps doing 74mph in a short city block. lol.. Rotax is one of my favorite engine designs. I always liked yamaha banshee's too, over the racing 450's quads.. But a rotax, how it has that rotary valve rather than reeds; it's just an excellent design and they are super reliable. They are actually so reliable that there are versions of rotax engines used in aviation; in smaller planes. One thing that can catch you is their 2 stroke oil pumps. I usually bypass all that stuff and just premix my fuel. You may have to re-jet it a little by doing that, but they stay 99% bullet proof by doing that.

    That saw will keep from heating up your material. a finer edge, good straight drop (Gravity) cuts Love that old stuff. I have a couple of old drills that will twist a car in half slowly if they catch you can't slow them down fast enough after it brakes your arms. Marvel 'Stan Lee' reciprocating saw, Well made. I Like the jeep build.

    • @jb3536
