I made one like this with one change. I ran the return pipe into an old pillow case hose clamped on the end. That way all the trash stuff ends up in the pillow case and keeps the mineral spirits clean longer.
Adam Batchelder thanks for watching... worked just fine and basically the same concept as the tractor supply brand. Probably not as durable... but breaks down easy and sits on shelf when not in use. Have used it a few time since this video.
Parts washers for all those times you don't have the equipment or time to piss around. Up to about my 3rd design for larger parts but an old washing machine seems to do just as good and means i can do other stuff (only issue is solvents)

The lid it held with a lead tab on an angled post, so if a fire happened, it would melt and drop, smother the oxygen.

I have seen $600 front disc brake jobs with pads and loaded calipers...so two sets of pads, one car. The dealer used factory parts and had it done for $165. No gloves, no glasses, no work, no time, no money, no problems.
Who wants to tell this guy you can buy a used Harbor Freight one on craigslist for like $50? Sell it after you use it if you don't think you'll use it again.
I don't understand the infatuation with parts washers. They're cool because they're large and they have moving components and they have a nice paint job and stuff that makes them manly but come on man! Who keeps dirtying stuff all the time to the extent they ACTUALLY need to buy one?
It reuses solvent that would otherwise be tossed or drained. It gives you a dedicated place to wash parts that you don't want in your sink. It's basically just a portable sink with a lid. If you do any refurbish work or have ever needed to wash out the carb for your leaf blower, it's a great thing to have.

I came here looking for knowledge and I left feeling like a genius.

Good idea!
"Jack of all trades, master of none, but better than one"
That should be the full quote
The actual saying was “jack of all trades, master of one” the master of none part was people making fun of it and it just caught on better apparently
A jack of all trades is a master of none but is always better than a master of one.
Praise god I'll make one myself thanks for the idea
@9:58 "As long as I don't catch fire, I'm alright" Wise words.
Agree, This is dangerous espectially with mineral spririt.
I guess that would be OK for water based solvent, but not anything caustic or flammable at least in my shop.

Like your dot parts washer
Is that "paint thinner" flammable or not?
Because in here we used paint thinner that very flammable. Or maybe it is different thing?
Up with hope down with dope!
I thought about building one but as much as ill use it... $75 (20% discount) HF washer will do the job.
So buying $30 in parts and putting it together for an hour makes it worth $75 to you?
@@woodworkerroyer8497 yup, and it works great...just as it should.
@@ricksspringfield45 I've found that most people put zero value on their time. Oddly enough it's only thing you can't buy or make.
use a truck fuel pump they don't catch fire
Awesome. Is that an old Kohler engine on your work bench? I have a couple and I’m about to rebuild 1 of them.
It is from an older golf cart... and runs like a champ was going to make a homemade cart but just haven't gotten around to it
Not clear if the red can was gasoline. Watch out for vapors or you could become part of a Mars launch.
hows the pump holding up. I trashed one using lacquer thinner..
Pretty cool. How did it hold up after a while?
Can you use PSC 1000 in it? Will it hurt the plastic?
Muy bueno
You better hope that pump is rated for solvents 🌋
I will buy one
Holy fire hazard
, Batman!
There, finished it for you LOL
No gloves or safety glasses?

This motor name pls
you can use a fuel pump from cars,trucks...

Sell it after you use it if you don't think you'll use it again.
A water pump for corrosive chemicals? Fire waiting to happen.
Thanks for watching and the concern...(watch again 9:52)
@@BigRedFishDad fuel pump from cars ,truck....made for those liquids

Yep...I wasn't paying $100+ for one; hence my contraption that got the job done just fine.
Any mechanic shop..
People like me that refurbish parts for a living lol
Obviously you have never done any mechanical/engine work. Why you even here....
