- Just a quick video about the way I came up with to carry and store the M18 chainsaws on my RTV-X. Old bicycle hitch carrier and bought a nice aluminum toolbox from Vevor that fir the 3 saws perfectly. Nice to have them out of the way and protected.

This is the rivnut tool I have been using amzn.to/44qNmQr
These are replacement nuts that work good amzn.to/49WlmVO
This is similar to the Grizzly punch set I use amzn.to/3Qj7JJu
This is the box I purchased but from Amazon amzn.to/3UAKBZx

My grandfather was a depression era man, he would be 104 now. He was the most handy man I’ve ever known, your a close second. There’s not a lot you can’t do and that’s high praise to say someone is as good as him. Love your channel sir.
That's how my father was. He would never throw anything out and could fix anything. Thanks for watching.
Ed, I love how you explain to folks what you are doing and why you are doing it. A lot of people don't know anything about dissimilar metal corrosion. Using UHMW is the perfect material to use in this situation. First of all, it insulates the two metals from each other as well as being extremely wear resistant. I have an old Gorton vertical mill. I don't have a DRO on it, though. But it is a CNC. Crank 'n Crank😂
Pays to play it safe when mounting anything to aluminum, especially Chinesium Aluminum. I have play in my leadscrews so the dro helps me eliminate error. Milling machines sure are handy for stuff like this. You could easily make yours a real CNC for when you get too old and weak to crank handles 😲. Thanks for watching.
I have been watching you for a few years now ,, you are amazing,, I can't believe how many times I do a search for a how to and you have done the video,, so many! first found you after I bought my ortur laser! thank you for all the videos
Thanks. Those Ortur lasers were an amazing invention that really have gone far in a couple years. Thanks for watching.
You’re an excellent craftsman 👍🏻
Thanks. Just an old man having fun. Thanks for watching.
Maybe put some of the felt circles with sticky on the bottom onto the lid so it doesn't scratch the tailgate.
I enjoy watching your builds and have learned some things from watching your videos.
Have a Jesus filled day everyone

That's a good idea. It stops just as they touch. Thanks for watching.
Ed, as always there is something interesting to watch and a perfect execution of the plan!
Thanks. After having the big saw bounce off a load of firewood rounds hitting the ground I had to do something as it wasn't the first time. Thanks for watching.
Ed, the best rivet/cherrymax/rivet nut tool I've used is a DP Equipment Model D-100 (military surplus). It's for attaching blind rivets in aviation panels but it also has the heads for rivet nuts and regular pop rivets. Hydraulic, but hand powered and super smooth and easy to pull.
I have been happy with this one so far and it was the cheapest I could find last year when I had to put SS inserts in the aluminum trailer. There definitely are better ones but this sure beats the old way. I will keep my eye out for one of them.
Just found one. $400 and it doesn't do metric nuts. Ouch
Thanks for watching.
My man is a genius!
Just an old guy having fun. Thanks for watching.
A nice solution, as always well-fabricated 👍🏽
Thanks. Just a simple solution to make the saws last longer. Thanks for watching.
Hi URHC I hope you are both keeping safe and well,
Thanks. We are trying to.
That was a great idea, very nicely executed, My floor is down, now, in my workshop, I have got to close the front in so I can start working on making doors and frame, I have been looking 👀 at electric chainsaws, the Milwaukee looks very nice,
The aluminium box looks very good , You’ll have to get your 3-D printer out and make some holders for the chainsaws and bits and pieces in your box, Keep up the great work, look forward to seeing you next project
I really like the battery chainsaws. If you are open to different battery systems there are quite a few 80 volt ones out now that are nicer. That's good news. I bet it will be an amazing shop with the equipment you have and your craftsmanship. Thanks for watching.
@@unemployedredneckhillbilly2023 I used to have quite a few Milwaukee tools, especially the big angle drill For going between joist and beams, and a couple of very large floodlight, but sadly in 2019 in December when I was up in Paris trying to help somebody with a large water tank that had fallen off the wall, Luckily, it got Flexi pipes on it,anyway I got burgled I lost around €15,000 of tools and equipment., I think I might’ve said in a previous chat probably last year or the year before, Luckily, they didn’t take the two battery chargers and three batteries I’ve still got as they were in another part of my building, so I might be going for the Milwaukee chainsaw, I know this should be a day of rest, but as most people call me a heathen, I am working trying to build a sub frame , but I am trying to scribe in to the old part of the building, and then I’ve got to make a frame that will fit the sub frame, Which is now upright, I know the stuff is not very good, but I’ve got some OSB board left over. I’m going to try and close it in today., and put some plastic sheets over the front of it, stop the weather whilst I finish building the frame and a pair of doors, it was all supposed to match my front door that I made around 15 years ago, but sadly I do not have the funds available, And especially as the price of materials has gone up dramatically,
My front door is made of oak and Douglas for , I think just the materials alone nowadays for the garage doors and frames will probably cost an excess of 2000 €3000, . I’ll let you know how I get on next time you released a project. Hope you both have a great weekend.,
Nice work, as usual
Thanks. Is working out great. Thanks for watching.
Hi Ed.... Great stuff as usual........ I've got a hook up on my sub compact tractor instead of a bicycle carrier I'm using the 3 pt hitch with a car carrier (750 lb. capacity) trailer hitch hook up but which currently is without a box but need one as per your similar usage. I plan on adding a box, putting it on with (hasp and clasp) connectors for easy on and off of the carrier for other carrier usage and easy storage. I've been thinking about adding battery holders and rivet them to one of the sides on with an easily removable bracket, so they won't bang around and possibly get damaged. Vevor seems to offer the most reasonable pricing for adding a box. Thanks for the Vevor info as I hadn't previously identified a source for purchase. They seem to have an answer to most equipage needs at very reasonable prices. I always look forward to your next video. Take care and have a great week.
I have one of the carrier's but it was to deep and stuck out so it made loading tough. This still let's me load things easily. I though the price forthat Vevor box was very good. nice welds and forming with good handles and lid supports. light gauge but strong enough for my use. I am finding Vevor has been good about fighting inflation with their prices. Thanks for watching.
I like that man. I really lile people like y'all. Y'all hillbillies are cool and awesome.
Thanks. We have fun doing what we do. Thanks for watching.
Really great idea and well executed job. Well, done my friend just a couple of thoughts. What about putting a pass-through on the hitch receiver so you could still tow a small utility trailer without having to remove the toolbox
Also, what are your thoughts as it’s hard to see in the video any reduction and approach angle with the toolbox hanging further back and lower not sure if this would be an issue for you taking steeper inclines
That hitch is very light duty with a 300 pound tongue weight so you really can't piggyback anything. I have no problem on my property with that angle. A very rocky trail may be a problem but this machine is not made for that kind of use. Had to keep it low and tight for cooling and bed access. Any higher and the lid wouldn't fully open. without moving it out from under the tailgate. may move it to the front once I grind open the area that was welded together wrong by Kubota. Thanks for watching.
Your handie with tools are you a machinist good ideal
No, just like using the right tools to make life easier. Thanks for watching.
