Good 4U!! What is that thing on the bench made from a Wiser's bottle? Cheers from the West Kootenays!😁🇨🇦🍺
It is a table lamp. Go to Instagram and search Gun Powder Lighting. He will custom make what ever you want!
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloonWhat the heck. When I see your smiling face I grab a beer and go along for the ride 😅
Bummer! Thanks for sticking with us on TH-cam! I feel your pain, work part-time at a farm store that fixes small engines. 98% of our cool, the other 2% make life miserable. Of course it doesn't help when your techs quit or get canned. If you need a job... Take care, you're stuck with us as "customers "!
45 years ago I had enough of working on cars. Packed up my tools and went home. Took 6 months off and latter became a engineer. Worked with a different set of A-holes but, sure did make way more money.
Good choice, people suck. When the next video going to be ready 😂
Some people are hard to deal with, some aren't. Glad to hear you'll still be helping us DIYers .
Thank You...
They sure are hard to deal with just hearing and watching in the last 8+ years working for another dealership after closing my repair shop down and have been thinking about reopening mine again now having a second thoughts
I closed a few years ago, best move I made. Still have my oregon belt sander blade sharpener in my garage at home.
no they are not hard to deal with, they are "Impossible !"
good teach people
As a former car repair service manager, I hear you, brother! My wife thought I was exaggerating about customers until she stopped by for lunch one day and saw it for herself. She then helped me do a career change. Much happier now!
Good for you. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
You married well!
Whata you doin now?
@@jraposo911 retired from 24 years in the security industry. Started out as a tech support manager because I knew how to run a service dept. Finished as a field engineer for large scale industrial security systems.
ASE Master tech here and I'll never turn another wrench on a strangers car again. Been making candles for about 4 years now and never been happier. Money is MUCH better too.
Steve. I get it man. Society has been dummied up. No common sense, courtesy, or decency. Glad you are still going to share your wealth of knowledge.
Years ago, at a veterinarian clinic, I saw a sign on their wall. It’s as true today as it was then. It stated, “the more people I meet, the more I like my dog!”
Keep up the good work, cause this old dog has learned a lot from you!
STEVE speaking as a 78-year-old female senior citizen with lots of physical disabilities, I appreciate you telling me how to fix my own lawnmower and small engines. I have saved so much money: so I for one, am extremely grateful for your videos. Thank you.
Damn Steve, ya scared the hell out of me! I am SO thankful for your videos and how much you help me. Sorry for your troubles. 🍻
Thank You...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon you could always sell beer
Some people's kids 😂 Ran into the same problems.. cheers 😊 That leaves more time to drink!!!😂🤣
Thanks for hanging in there, Steve. The public can really suck. At 72 I’m still learnering. We All thank YOU! God Bless.
You're the best thing that's happened to my chainsaws since the invention of the sharpening file. The hell with the public, you have an army of TH-cam fans.
Honestly man, the general public has been getting progressively worse and doesn't really show signs of getting better. It's great to see you and people like you that have the ability to simply not deal with the nonsense anymore. I firmly believe that if these rude and difficult customers were told how things were more often, our entire SVC industry would be in a much better state.
Great work, Steve! Love the channel and can't wait for more!
I think it's partly because collectively we are just dumber than we used to be.
back in the day you could invite them down to the local pub for a cold beer and give them an uppercut as they were about to take their first sip.
@@ozarked2363 actually, this was foretold in the Bible. but what does it know...right?
They aren't smart enough to fix their own but somebody else to fix it for nothing!
It doesn't help that the curiosity to fiddle and try to fix things was beaten out of kids. Who grew up not knowing how to do things for themselves
Don't let em get you down! Thank you for all the good advice you've given me through your TH-cam channel - -greatly appreciated!
You're Welcome...
No way eh? I can't believe it. Not only these people are lucky to have YOU fixing their equipment, who, if they have ever watched your videos should know by now the kind of man you are, honest and a professional small engine mechanic who doesn't play games like that. I'm thankful you're still making videos for people who want to learn about small engines and how to fix them. Thank you for all you do Steve i really appreciate you taking the time to do this. Keep up the good work brother 💪👍
Marco P.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Good for you. I have been repairing small engines for 40 years, and I feel the same way. People never are happy.
As an aging tradesman, I can 100% sympathize with you and your decision ! I am sooooo sick and tired of dealing with people and their issues.
Steve, you don’t need the aggravation. You are so appreciated here on TH-cam. We’ll never give you a hard time. You’re a gift to all of us.
I don't blame you at all Steve.
Thanks for staying open for the rest of us. We appreciate your service.
Of course the commenters don’t, all the haters and a holes just aren’t deciding to comment
Thks steve for all your help!!
Boy what a loss to your community but THANK YOU for continuing to help us! You’re terrific!
Hey Steve, a little story. I called a local tool rental/repair service to get a carb kit for a Tecumseh lawn mower engine and was told they didn't have one because Tecumseh went out of business 11 years ago, so I went to Amazon and found a complete carburetor for $11.00 plus S&H total cost $28.00. Replaced it myself and now my line mower ( powerful 2 wheeled weed whacker) is back in action taking down all the tall un-mow able grass. The head takes 140 gauge(I think) 22" string line folded before attaching to the trimmer head creating 4 strings to whack with.
Way to go Steve! Thank you from the rest of us who appreciate your teaching!
You're Welcome...
Sorry to hear your closing your business but I’m VERRY HAPPY your going to continue your you tube channel!!!!!!THANK YOU !!!!!
Agree 💯 %
Totally understand dealing with the general public!
Very relieved Steve is continuing with TH-cam.
Sorry to hear that your b.s. meter has hit the top Steve. However there are a lot of whiners, pissers and moaners out there. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos as they are great! Love my hat and Hoodie!
I appreciate that!
Do you have your shop rate posted.
$75 dollars an hour! & bellyachers $150 😂
sorry you are closing your shop.
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon I definitely appreciate all of your advice and trouble shooting tips. Yu have saved me many hours of frustration and have probably kept me from destroying many small engines and carbs with a hammer over the last few years
Hi Steve, I was just reviewing your video on "How to tip over a lawnmower" (75 hours, full fuel and oil, no drips), and this is my first time back. Sorry to hear about the idiots you had to bear with, and good riddance to them. Hope you keep up the good work though, I'm always learning ! Thanks from DownUnder in Sydney Australia! Cheers!
Can't blame you one bit , no-one should expect you to do this for free , that's total BS ! Thanks for all you do providing solid helpful info along the way.
Good for you Steve! Been there, done that! Everyone that has been in the people service business knows when to call it quits! On to bigger and better things! 👍👍👏👏
Right on
Great to hear you’re carrying on Steve. Difficult for me to calculate how much time and money you’ve saved me over the last few years but it’s considerable, so many many thanks 🙏🏼
I dealt with the public for over 40 years and nobody realises as to how low they will stoop to do over another working person. I feel for you and hope that you do stay on TH-cam.
Some people are impossible to please. Very glad your not shutting down your TH-cam. I’ve leaned a lot from you.
Thank you!
Steve… I appreciate your content. Thank you for serving us.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
I do not blame you at all Steve. You’ll be much happier and healthier without all the stress. Those whinebabies will learn what they’re missing when taken elsewhere. God Bless you brother!!
Thank You...
Let then whine now!
Ur the best!pop a top Steve 😊
People can't appreciate a good thing when they have one, only when it is gone then they realize they should have recognized what was available to them for their benefit, especially when it is obviously a service performed by a caring qualified person. Good for you Steve, glad you remain on youtube as I have certainly learned a lot from you.
I can completely understand where you are coming from. Dealing with the public is tough. They want something for nothing. They just don't understand what it takes to run a business and the overhead plus this is your job. Jeff out!
Dealing with home users is the worst in any industry: computers, cars, small engines. Glad you have moved on, and now more of you for us!
Thank You...
Steve, I get it! So glad I got out when I did. Hate to say it, but the general public is getting more stupid every year. I LOVE helping folks fix their own stuff now, online. A whole different ballgame.
I really appreciate all of your advice and help on YT. Please keep that going, we appreciate it.
The customer isn’t always right.
@edwardspaccarelli5944 true but in the Corporate world (upper management), the customer is NEVER right and they couldn't care less if youvare a customer or not
Thank heavens you're going to continue with your TH-cam tutorials which have been truly FANTASTIC. No moaning or whining from us! The advice you have given has been invaluable and has kept all my machines going. In addition to all that, the quality of the videos has been outstanding, zooming in to see the tiniest detail of interest as well as giving an overall assessment. I am one of your fans in the UK so your fame stretches for thousands of miles. Well done!
You obviously don't have a youtube channel and read your comments
Thank you, Steve. I'm 51, and you've helped me many times overcoming my crippling fear of helping myself with my mower. I want you to know that your fearless do-this {or rather, you can do this} attitude has helped me with other problems in my life, from house repair issues to my general anxiety. You are a down-to-earth teacher with a kind heart. I wish more of my teachers were like you when I was a kid. If they were. perhaps I wouldn't feel so broken . From my wife and I, Merry Christmas.
Sorry for the butheads, but glad you are still there for us. Thanks Steve
Steve - I hear you brother. I spent a lot of time throughout my 45 year career dealing with the general public; and I HATED IT!!! But please keep bringing small engine instruction videos!! They are very useful!!
Will do
good for you steve cant please anybody these days. i am so glad you are staying on you tube. you have helped alot thank you.
Thank You...and You're Welcome...
Please keep the TH-cam going! Your advice on small engines and whatnot is the oasis in the middle of the desert. Thank you for your service.
You had me!!! Thank God you are still going to do this! I've done weed abatement tractor work for the public for 20+ years and just quit this year. Same exact reasons! Always can get someone cheaper or want it done yesterday when the weeds are 4 foot tall and 2 days before the deadline! I'm done!!!!
The customer is NOT always right! Some people are just nuts. Glad you're keeping the YT channel going Steve. Sorry about your small business closing. We need all the help we can get! Cheers!
Customer used to be always right, but now it seems most customers are always entitled. You’re absolutely correct.
They’re almost always wrong lol
The customer is always wrong.
Business owner is always right. If the customer doesn't like it then they can go somewhere else.
No shortage of customers in this industry...
I don't blame you brother. No good deed goes unpunished. Wishing you all the best in your future endeavors! You're awesome!!!
So glad you are staying on you tube. You help so many !!!!
Working on equipment isn’t the hard part , it’s dealing with all the whack-a-dos out there! Thanks for keeping your channel going. I enjoy all your informative content. 😊
That, and dealing with the people who come in wanting stuff fixed, but want to tell you how to do it.
The other one is the people that bring a box of parts in because they decided they would take it up on themselves to tear it apart and try to fix it themselves first, and expect you to sort through everything and put it together just to figure out what's wrong, fix what they broke in the process of taking it apart themselves, replace the missing parts they lost in the process...then actually fix the $5 original problem LOL...oh and not charge them for any labor in doing so.
The fact that you get to fix it after they had a go. Now you have to fix the problem and the damage they did.
The best part about it is when you do it for free and they still complain.
Damn! Scared me! My small engine repairman stopped service on anything he didn’t sell. I’ve relied on you exclusively for past several years and all my stuff still runs - runs good. Thank you! I’ve learned so many things from you. You have been a great and entertaining teacher.
They're a lot of dealers doing that these days. In the summer, The dealership I work at only works on the brands that we sell, regardless of where you bought it. In the winter, we'll work on other brands as well. It's tough to turn people away, but you have to take care of the people that have invested in your brands.
@@eherrmann01 maybe so, but you should take care of the people that have used your shop for years and recommend your service and expertise. I’ll never darken his door again - guess he doesn’t need the business - sells Husqvarna - that alone should keep him busy I guess.
@@robbieanderson4674 Correct. I'm not taking any new walk in customers, particularly when they start off by telling me what the problem is. It's like putting you on notice. I rely on my regulars and word-of-mouth. I'm plenty busy.
Good for you. I retired from the collision repair business because it got to where people didn't appreciate the professional work done on their vehicles. Towards the end of my career, we had to enact a check-in procedure of documenting every little nick, scratch, smudge and stain on a vehicle at drop off. I don't miss dealing with the dishonesty of the general public.
I worked in public service face to face for 35 years. I hear you loud and clear.
Glad your staying on you tube, Ive learnt so much from these vids. Thanks Steve, your very much appreciated.
More to come!
You are outstanding Steve. You don’t need those kind of customers. Your generosity shows in the passion you have in sharing your knowledge. Thanks for all you do
I've realized after 56+ years on this planet that the complainer population is growing. There are people you could give a bullion of gold to, and they would complain it was too heavy to carry.
Good for you Steve, if people don't appreciate what you do for them, then let them go somewhere else. I'm glad that you are keeping your channnel going. You have helped me in the past, keep it up.
Good on you Steve. I moved my business from the general public to commercial cleaning and mowing. Sick and tired of dealing with whining people. Glad your channel is doing so well, you can leave all that garbage behind you. You are the best instructor on TH-cam hands down. Cheers from OZ.
You have seen every instructor on TH-cam?
Haha me too and never regretted it👍👍
@@davidrogers6287 I do spend alot of time on TH-cam....
But seriously, the smart arse award goes to you my friend. 👍😁
@@alanchappell414 Yeah, once you realise the people writing the cheques for commercial work don't have an emotional attachment to the work being paid for ( and some just don't give a damn), it's like a different world.
I’m glad you are staying in TH-cam and helps us out. I know how difficult it is to deal with customers. They want everything yesterday and cheap as possible. Wish you the best Steave
I feel your pain Steve. Ive always been the fixit guy myself and loved helping people. Until it became expected and not appreciated. Hope to continue watching your videos. You have taught me a great deal. Good luck in your future endeavors.
I used to help folks out with all kinds of engine issues in small equipment, vehicles etc. It took years, but I had to learn to say NO. Too many of these people just didn't appreciate my time and effort. These days I'm very, very careful about who I help.
yes, you have to screen your customers.
I applaud you Steve for making the move! Your TH-cam followers much appreciate all the knowledge you share with us. Very best of luck to you!
I Have always appreciated you teaching on TH-cam. I got a master's in small engine repair years ago. And for the same reason I quit offering my services to the public. But if someone asked me I still would work on it. But I also have the choice of saying no. Thank you for sticking around TH-cam for the rest of us. Many happy ales to you and your family.
Yes please don’t quit! I was self employed for 27 years and worked in big industry maintenance before that! HVAC service was the same. You ask on the phone “have you checked your circuit breaker”.
$35.00 you have only been here five minutes and reset my circuit breaker. My reply “you not paying me for what I did you are paying me for what knew how to do”.
I understand what you are going through. Keep the info coming. Thanks!
You’ve been a lifesaver for me in my small engine endeavors! I’ve never had a problem you couldn’t help me solve. I’m glad you’re still posting. I’m sorry about your personal business though. I hope everything works out for you!
Thank You...
So many thanks for the teaching. I live in the forest, I use chainsaws everyday and I do all my maintenance myself. I also help most of my friends with their issues. A lot of my abilities comes from you and I can't thank you enough to continue teaching us on TH-cam. Stay away from toxic people! Greetings from Québec !
More power to you brother! I've felt your pain. Thanks for staying online for teaching, I've learned a great deal from you and hope to learn more.
People can be a real pain in the butt sometimes. Thank you for what all you do. Your videos have been a help.
People are ruthless sometimes, I dont blame you for shutting it down. As a rule i prefer the company of dogs over people.
Don't blame you a bit, you were probably a bit more patient with people like that then I would have been. Happy your sticking around on YT, your videos have always been most helpful!
I feel your pain Steve, I repair mowers & line trimmers for pensioners here in Australia & get the same remarks, I have learnt a hell of a lot off your channel, keep up the good work!
Thanks for hanging in there and helping thousands here!
So glad you still on you tube.
Thank you for the years of service you helped me out a great deal in fixing my small engines. You do what you have to do sometimes in life to keep your sanity.
I agree!
Hi Steve, I have been a small engine mechanic for 40 years I know and feel your pain ! People look at guy’s like us as dummies that just fixing simple lawn mowers or taking much intelligence ! Funny how all these geniuses can’t do it themselves! Without guy’s like us nothing would run ! Your a fun guy to watch very knowledgeable I enjoy watching your videos very much!
I hear you! I have been self employed for 30 years. I work on boats sometimes when the owner shows up in a brand new truck with there new boat and whine about my price while my boat is 50 years old and my truck almost 25. I also have a sign that says. “ a lack of planning on your part, doesn’t constitute a emergency on my part”
what you said, excluding all the references to small engines, is exactly why i got out of being psychologist. too much whining... no self awareness, nothing but blame blame blame. good for you
Your channel is great! I'm glad you are continuing to post your excellent content. Regarding the public, I worked in retail years back and dealing with people is pain in the ass. All the best to you and yours as we approach the holiday season.
Thank You...
As a previous service provider business owner. I'm hearing you and agree. Glad to see you are staying online buddy!!!!
Don't think you're alone. I've been a carpenter for 30 years and have had to deal with childish uneducated unknowledgeable issues like that for 30 years. It caused me to create a new pricing structure. If you want ME to do the job...$75 an hour, If you want me to explain it to you as I do it...$150 an hour, If you want me teach you how it's done...$225 an hour. If you make unknowledgeable inexperienced presumptions during the process I walk off and never come back. It's all in the contract, sign it I do the work, don't sign it I walk away.
If you want it done any cheaper, then you can just do it yourself.
That Sir is the way attitudes are now and have been moving to for years. It’s harder now to find small operations that will do quality work and charge fairly, probably just for this reason. People who whine like babies about actually having to fork over reasonable amounts of cash. Best of Luck and appreciate all you’ve put out!
Man, I hate that for you! Years of being in customer service has taught me that the general public leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to human interaction...and I'm sorry you had to shut it down (but I'm ELATED that you're still gonna do TH-cam for us DIY'ers) :] Keep up the good work, buddy - lots of us love your videos (and beer critiques lol)
Scared me for a moment. So glad you’re continuing on utube.
Can’t tell you how much I appreciate your videos and how many times you’ve helped me.
PS. Another 30 days of questions with April would be great.
Good for you Steve, so glad you will still be making videos!!
Oh,. thank god! For a moment there I thought you were talking about your TH-cam channel. Glad you will still be online......👍👍
Your videos have not only saved me a ton of money they have gotten me out of a few difficult corners. Keep up the brilliant work.
There are so many of us DIYers out there that have learned so much from you and your TH-cam channel. You will never know how much we appreciate your help with our own equipment. Sorry those winers out there have forced you to stop doing what you obviously love. Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us. 👍
I 2nd that
Boils down to People are Idiots. Thank you so much for all your help you've provided on this channel.
It is SO unfortunate you have to deal with these disrespectful people! Thank you for continuing with the TH-cam videos!! You have taught me SO much! I truly appreciate all of your hard work, dedication and sharing of your knowledge and experience!!!
Im a Stihl mechanic from Finland, here people are mostly satisfied, only around 2%customers are like that.I wish you luck in the tube career mate!
The "never satisfied" taking the fun out of life 😆 Don't let the negative customers get you down Steve. Glad to hear that you will still be on TH-cam friend. Cheers to the future 🙌
Keep on keeping on. Dealing with the public sucks. I like what you do!👍🏻
Thank You...
I fucking love this channel! I’ve got zero mechanical background and found a lawnmower on the side of the road. I thought let’s give it a go. All these video’s allowed me to fix several lawnmowers now and it’s turning into this out of control hobby now (wife is not too happy, until I start selling them 😂). Great to learn new skills. Thanks bro!
You are a much needed asset to us for reliable information. Stay on TH-cam.
Know your pain Steve. I ran a service shop for 44 years and there are some customers that you just don't need. I'm glad you are keeping your TH-cam channel up and running. I have enjoyed it!
Beware of the customers that say they can’t find any good mechanics. That’s often because no good mechanics want them. 😂
Yes I just them to go somewhere else then ! @@BukitMan
Thanks for not giving up on us Steve, we appreciate all the info you provide.
I was an on site maintenance guy in an apt . building that was finished in 1904 . Literally hundreds of old folks from 65 to who knows. Some could be a pain ,but they usually weren't the problem. The one or two people working at the lobby were the laziest bunch . Someone reports a drip. Might be a leaky sink trap. Or a ruptured 12 inch cooling tower supply pipe flooding a couple dozen apartments on the way . People have no idea.
I applaud you for recognizing that it's not worth the hassle for you. It's better than blowing up on customers and being "that guy" at the repair shop.
Congrats Steve! I certainly understand your frustration. I’m a fleet manager for a landscape company and I hear it every time I’m in our local shops. They generally have a backlog of 2 weeks worth of potentially irate customers! And to think, I almost started my own shop at one point!😬 Of course I’m of an age where I can recall paying 89¢ for a spark plug, that was way back when $50/hour shop rates were considered highway robbery!😂
Bless’ns, you’ve earned it, Tedd
Don't blame you mate... Glad you're sticking around for us... ✨
Thank You...
Good moving forward. Years back I owned a few hardware store , 1 Sunday morning at 6am a customer yelled at me that propoxy was 6.99 and home depot sells it for cheaper , I snatched them from his hand and told him to get out . People suck to deal with.
I hear you. As a former small engine dealer myself. I don't miss dealing with them.
Just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your content. I've learned so much from your videos. Delivering loads of wisdom with just the right amount of attitude. Don't ever change.
Steve’s probably the most reasonable shop in his area. He will be missed. I’ve learned from him and appreciate him sharing his expertise.
Salute!! I retired three years ago from my professional career at 65. People thought I was crazy. It was a really good job, but the public is certified psycho. I’m the grey man now. Screw it. Best decision ever. Enjoy, my friend. Thank you for all you’ve done through your channel.
We love you Steve! You have helped hundreds upon hundreds , thousands upon thousands unselfishly. You have made a difference in this world, and a positive one. God bless you Steve
Wow,you had me worried that you were going to stop your channel, you have been a wealth of knowledge in the small engine world, keep up with the information and thanks, It's great watching your channel from Nova Scotia! 🛠
Thank you, Steve, for everything you bring to TH-cam! I love your channel and feel lucky to have the benefit of your expertise and experience. Keep the flag flying, brother!!!
Well, let them switch to electric stuff. I used to pick up the mowers people threw out and fix them with your help. Money was donated if I sold it. Thank you Steve!
