I am fortunate enough to have "one of those flash saws" but it has nothing on a brobo. Do you (or anyone who has a Makita cold drop saw) find the reverberation really noisy? I always wear ear protection, but the neighbours, I pity them (but fear their wrath)when I'm doing a lot of cutting.

Quite complicated design.

oil and grease must be very expensive ....

If you're that worried about that kind of concentricity for a simple screwdriver why don't you use a four jaw Chuck. You'll have it exact and be able to reproduce it no matter what happens

Puedo escucharlo en español

Hi Scott. nice build. i noticed you didn't install a grid inside. Seems like its working just fine or would you install a grid next time?

Awesome work Scotty :)

Nicè job and nice stout lathe you found !!!

Great job Scott, I just love my Man Cave which I call my Shedroom, haha. Seeya Rob...............it's my very happy place.

What? No brand new, high tensile, super duper, chromed, super polished bolts?! Your standards are dropping, Scott... *Rolls eyes and looks away in mock disgust"

I just got one of these the other week

Nice job

Fixing things is a dying skill. There are many KZbin channels dedicated to fixing and restoring things so maybe it will carry on.

Another great video - you remind me so much of my 2 uncles on my fathers side. Both great fixing and making things, one was better on the large equipment and the other better on the smaller stuff.

Keep on fixing it until it's broke.

That FOD bin, brings back memories mate!!

Nice one Scott, glad you're all ok, take care bud.

merci pour cette vidéo. Fait plus de vidéo car ton savoir mérite d'être partagé. Merci encore et bon courage 🤩👍💪

Loved the video, Scott!

Geeze....that's the most dangerous mower blade system I've seen! I'm sure it's a lot easier on the motor, though.

Not many folks have the skill and patience to do such a variety of repairs these days mate, very well done. 🎉

Good work mate. Seriously ❤

This was an awesome setup doing the same can I have a detailed how to please .. like how’d u plumb the hot water into sink , howd u sort the pump to turn on with the tap any info appreciated please thanx

Skills from another generation, Scott. You're a modern antique! lol It really is satisfying to bring something back to life. I fear this is something the newer generations will never know, with the Amazon era replacement ethos. Keep up the good work!

Good onya Scott, you're a real goer 👍🏽 You and Judy take care there, I see the bushfires are starting up your way, and we're having some here at Mount Isa too 🔥

Great vid.I enjoy watching you repairing every day items.Keep them coming

For the non Kiwi's or Aussies "Munted" origin: possibly comes from the combination of "monged" (to be drunk) and cunted (a person possessing a vulva) meaning: When referring to a person it means intoxicated or disgusting, when referring to an object it means damaged or unusable.

You should also try the built in embroidery automatic :)

Thanks. I have been making bags to carry ammunition to the range in. I think the waterproof body bag would be a big hit

Nicely done, saved yourself a small fortune.

Good for you Scott! I especially enjoy these kinds of videos. There's always more to do! 😅

Being an all-around Mr. Fix IT has become a lost skill to much of the younger generation. Like you, I rather enjoy being able to fix many things around my home and property. Haven't had the energy to tackle some things as of late, but I strive to do what I can. Cheers to you, Scott.

Always enjoy your videos. Well done!

My grandad was born in 1904 and could fix anything, he told us stories about how to make repairs to model T Fords on the roadside. I’ve never seen a lawnmower with a brushhog style deck on it, brushhog is what we call that thing you call a slasher in the US. The joy of success and the desire to repair something is what makes a good mechanic. Thanks for sharing.

I like your blue socks !! 👍🏻

The Grandfathers would be proud.

a very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing :-)

I usually find that things fail in threes. But you managed a quaddie. Nice to see you back on the tools. Regards, Preso

G'day Scott, in the last three or four years, I started watching your channel with my 80ish yo father in law named Brian. We would watch your videos after family Saturday night dinners every week. As the lady folk would retire to the kitchen and wash the dishes, we would lounge on the couch and enjoy your content immensely. My FIL praised your skills and invention and ability to troubleshoot as he, too, would tinker and fix all and sundry that the family presented to him. From cracked porcelain to small engines. He could not speak of you highly enough and could not wait for a new video from you. He passed away a few weeks ago at the grand old age of 84. I miss the old coot and just wanted you to know that one of your biggest fans is no longer watching you. When I sat on the couch and turned on KZbin today and saw your latest video, I was overcome with emotion. This video is exactly what he would have loved. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the excellent content. Never underestimate the power your videos have to make people happy, and may you live long and prosper with the force always with you. From your Cairns fans.

Nice video. Things just want to break. Cheers! ❤

I always enjoy following along on your travails. Thanks for sharing. Thumbs up.

Triple polished, love it.

First time I heard you say you had an aviation background. Were you a sheety or a AP Tech? I was a AV tech for many years and have the same attitude on fixing things. The only thing that stops me hoarding stuff to fix is my wife. She would go crazy if I was left to my own devices fixing things.

I almost thought you were going to go Doctor D.S. on that mower blade thing.

You probably would not be able to live the lifestyle that you are living if you didn't have the tools and the skills needed to fix things. It's a shame that most people are living in this throw away society. Interesting video that anyone considering going off grid needs to watch. Thanks for the video.

Yep, they got their money's worth out of that seal.

It's endless, isn't it, Scott. Perfect timing as I got my large rototiller back today, which has been on long-term loan for ~2yrs to a friend. He owns a tracked skid steer loader and a sawmill, so I foolishly assumed he'd be good with equipment maintenance. I honestly don't think he did so much as clean the air filter in all that time. I spent the afternoon degreasing it, then ordered seals, filters, spark plug, fuel hose, oil & gear lube. As disheartening as it was to see it a mess, it'll be satisfying to tune it back up.

Everything cost so much to replace nowadays. I fix everything I can . Thanks Scott

I'm reminded of a book I read some 40-50yrs ago called Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. In this story (forgive me if I've remembered wrong after so many years) two guys are touring the USA on BMW touring bikes. When something breaks on one of the bikes and it's going to take a few weeks to get a replacement part, one of them (the purist) wants to wait for the part. The other guy is practical and says they can make a shim with a bit of Coke can and it'll be better than the original part. I think we all know who Scott is in this picture. 🙂

Truly munted. They chunk out. I've learned some new words today! 😅 And a masonry bit as a boring bar????? Many's the time that I've watched your videos, Scott, and thought to myself "Why haven't I ever thought of that?" The masonry bit definitely wasn't one of those times! 🤣 Nevertheless, I do always admire your capacity to get the job done in the absence of all 'the right stuff'.
