That was very educational and a treat to see, many thanks! I have a mini grinder not working. Saved from the dumpster. Wonder what it could be? Most likely a loose contact as it does not look used. Please save your hands. You will find as you get older your hands turn arthritic from overuse, esp the right hand. For this job, you would have been better off doing a sand blasting to remove the gunk instead of wire brushing. That angle grinder vibration does a number on the hands. I'm going tos set up a sand/glass bead/ soda blasting station.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Yeah, a sand blasting cabinet would be nice but I an angle grinder was my only option. If you end up buying a sandblasting cabinet, let me know which one you got. Hopefully the issue with the bench grinder you found in the dumpster is something simple like loose wiring or the switch, let me know how it goes. Thanks for the comment!

Sorry to hear about your dad. My first car was a 1970 Opel Kadette Wagon (bought in 1979)and the second car was a 1973 (bought in Aug 1981)OPel Kadette Wagon. I loved them both. It's interesting to see that your driver's side rrear wheel was locked. My 1970 opel had that issue too. When you engaged the parking brake, the shows would not always retract. I would have to remove the drum and get the shoes to retract. I tried to not to use the parking brake. It was funny how you did not notice the ring that you pull up to put it in reverse. GM used that ring many of it's brands, including the Daewoo I bought in 2002. I would love to own anther Opel.

The black stuff is carbon. That's what a 4 stroke engine looks like when it's oil ring is gone & begins burning oil. I assume the piston ring got stuck due to carbon build up perhaps the person was using the wrong oil, as i use a rich mix (has more oil than required running 25:1 rather than 50:1 simply due to the fact of not wanting different containers & using the wrong one)

The race that you hafta cut off of the shaft is half of the inner race of the old bearing. It's designed to split during removal. The new bearing already has everything you need. So, after cutting off the old race, just press in the new bearing then press in the hub.

Always nice to get old nailers for free or cheap and rebuild them. I have a Senco SN325 I rebuilt and was amazed at how many o rings they use in the trigger, about the same amount as in the rest of the gun. It is a great nailer. I also own 3 Paslode 5300 Plus nailers, also great guns. When rebuilding them their is only one o ring in the trigger and that is only to seal between the trigger and the housing. Complete it only has 10 o rings. I really like both of the older nailers from these companies. Thanks for the video.

Handy having a metal bandsaw. I only have a wood bandsaw which I've barely used, so I doubt that I would have a lot of use for a metal bandsaw anyway. Besides, my metal shop is only 100 square feet and set up nicely for my needs, so no room for a metal bandsaw anyway.

Both the bandsaw and the bench grinder attachment were a bit pricey, so it took me a while to talk myself into buying them. I'm glad I did though because I use them for almost every project. I made a wall mount for the bandsaw, so it hardly takes up any room at all. And, if I need to use the saw elsewhere, it's lifts right off of the mount.

I had to fix a shaft with threads, My file did not have the correct thread count. I had a extra nut that was correct. I sawed one side of it open, ran a tap down it to clean it up. I used a drill bit one size larger than the shaft and drilled out 3 threads of the nut. The shaft could then get started straight and acted as a adjustable die. Finished it up with a actual die and the threads were great when done.

I found an $8 mini spy camera on AliExpress and had it setup in no time. It streams video directly to a cell phone - without even using my wifi router - and I got a wrist strap mount so I can watch easily but still have the use of both hands! So now I can see how things look and if I missed something. I thought this was cool before. Now I have taken it up a notch!

IMHO, it would be worth showing how to remove the feed rail to clean it without the feed guide attached. Behind the quick-open nose, there are two allen cap screws going back into the rail. On my roofing stapler, I could JUST get the allen key on the top of the two of them with the nose swung all the way open. The bottom one was no problem. Additionally, if youre putting the feed mechanism back on the body with the rail still attached, its probably worth putting the guide support strut (connects down near the air fitting) in order to support all that while reinstalling the nose to the body. Takes quite a bit of fiddle-factor out of getting everything lined up and flush.
