How long of bolts or what kind did you use to keep it flat on the bottom of the board?

The fun fact about the year of the newspaper made me smile, because I was trying to read it to figure out how old it was 😂

Great video !💪💪

Great information, all the things I now know but never knew I needed to know- thanks for sharing your knowledge 😁

I also recently bought a similar power supply, main for testing CB radios. However I hope to try some electroplating with it as well. I have some old tools I’d like to try nickel or silver plating.

I bought an old rotary style phone off of Amazon 2 weeks ago. As I heard the signals from DECT phones affect wifi signals. In a bid to improve my wifi, I'm hoping the rotary phone will do the job. That lock bought back memories for sure.

A great cutaway. Wow. Looks nicely and well done.

Geez almighty man how many pots of coffee did you have before making this video? I was listening to you explain the JB Weld and you are all over the place I actually checked to make sure my play back speed wasn't on 1.25 cause you sure was speeding through that like ya had a wet turd or two in the pipe and they was running into each other on the way out.

You could also deep-fry your soap

Nice valve, John! Jand

That power,supply would be great for plating metal. (in case you needed a new restoration skill!). I hate to see the valves destroyed but every one looks so cool as a cutaway.

That valve is so cool.

The valve looks great! You really did a good job of cutting away the parts so the function can be seen and all of your cut aways look fantastic. Thanks to you and Scott for this tutorial.

That's a couple of handy pocket countersink tools you made, Scout. I was taught to "deburr" the I.D. of any pipe/tubing on which I made a field cut. Being a good boy, I never asked why, I just did it. Finally an Old Skool hand (after I had "deburred" pipe on the I.D. a couple of thousand times) mentioned the reasoning: "deburring" the I. D. quieted the flow in the pipe/tubing. True or not, I've been running with that one ever since he told it me.

That valve is incredible! I saw your post on Instagram before I saw this video and thought you bought a new valve and cut it up. I was in the pipe valve and fitting business for over 30 years and never saw a manufacture with a cut away as nice as what you do.

One of my favourite episodes yet. Thanks!

can you do a show on your lionel trains im a old lionel and marx guy

Another fine educational post. I just want to add that the 277V ac is derived from a 480 voltage with brown orange and yellow wires idetifying a 480 volts, the 277 volt picked off the 480 volts is the grounded wire or called neutral just like 120 volte EXCEPT the neutral or grounded wire has to be grey NOT white. Have a good day.

The cutaways would be nyce in red

I've been thinking about getting a power supply like that to try my hand at nickel and copper plating small parts. I've never done it and don't have a clue how to do it but it seems pretty straightforward. Maybe you could do a tutorial on that if you know how to do it?

BEAUTIFUL valve restoration and cut-a-way!

Well, at least you found a good use for The New York Times.😂

Great show today. That valve is gorgeous, I love how brass cleans up. Your power supply unit is very handy for the things you show. Thanks John

You did an amazing job on that valve cutaway. Many thanks for the power supply review. 😀👍

I was thinking of sending you a HUGE solid brass ball valve from Canada, but it would have cost me an arm & a leg in postal fees. I'm a valve nut also.

I have an interesting piece of equipment a paper jogger from the 40s it is really cool a printer would use it to jog the paper reams to loosen them up

John, you could use the power supply to start electrolysis to remove rust from some of your finds as an alternative to Evaporust, vinegar or wire wheel. Great video as always and loving the valve.

Good Day Sir I'm so glad to see the little guy doing so well thank you for taking care of him.

I really like the cut aways. But, it kind of hurts to see the original destroyed. 😢

Great show today John love the cutaway that was one big valve very impressive Power supply looks really good to might have to get one of those god bless take care 🇺🇸🇳🇿🗽🦅🇮🇱🪖🐕🐝45-47DJT

That Jenkins valve cut-away came out so great. Nice to see how things work. Very cool power supply and fun with the bulbs.

Nice review on the power supply I got the same one from Amazon last year.

Your cutaways are great! This one was downright pretty. A bench power supply is very handy. I have an old suitcase electronics trainer that has a DC & AC power supplies and breadboards. Keep up the great videos, John! 👍🍻

Great way to display gate valve what a mess to start with now a great display

The gate valves are such a simple but beautiful design, but I still can’t figure out why they fail so much. I hear plumbers say they should be replaced.

Wow! That valve is gorgeous! You could go in business making cut-a-way valves.

Beautiful job on the valve John!! I still enjoy looking at the one I did last summer. Thanks for showing us how it’s done.

The gate valve cut away looks fantastic. What a great display piece it turned to be!

Love the show great work on the cut-away... Have you considered ever doing a walk through series of all your collections? (would love to see that). Keep up the great work!

Great cut away John, well done.

You are a maestro with the cutoff wheel. It always looks like I had my pet beaver chew it off when I cut anything.

Just found/picked up a Nestle globe mug for $1 at a local estate sale! Wonderful little mug. Thanks for turning us on to it! Blessings from Texas!

Thanks John.

John, that valve came out awesome looking. You really have the knack for cutting them open. I like those power supplies, believe it or not with all the electronics work I do I don't have one yet. I have all linear power supplies.

That valve is cool! Looks awesome now.

Hello John, nice power supply but the valve you did a great job 👍

John that valve came out spectacular! What a beauty! Be fun to know what a valve like that would cost, but most likely a bit eye watering. The DC power supply is a nice unit. Can't think of any use I would have for it.....everything I have that's DC is 12 volt and I've got that handy in a near by car or truck. Fun video. Can't wait to see what the BIG multi part project will be!

That power supply could be used to etch your logo Into something also! I know you have shown that with smaller power packs. Great video!!

If I remember right, 12 volt automotive bulbs were 1156 for single contact & 1157 for dual contact.

The cutaway is beautiful! A bench supply is one of the most useful things you can have around if you are doing any kind of low voltage electrical work. Very interesting video!
