Thank you so much for the 'nice' compliment! I appreciate that.😊

@@rolsenn You're welcome! It's well deserved!!!

Been a while since producing a video. Got inspired by you! I'm way behind...

I have not added weight. Has not been a problem. If needed I could just put a 12-pack on the back and let 'er ride!

Thank you so much for the very nice comment. I just published a new one: Unusual Crosscut Sled. Check it out!! :)

You bet!

Thanks so much for the subscription! Best of luck wiring up your saw. Richard

Thank you so much. And they work great!

Thanks. And good luck lifting your tires with the tire lifting board! Richard

Best way to answer: go to my website and click on Bird Feeder at the bottom left and your curiosity shall be satisfied! Website: www.oldokieworkshop.com/ Tying it off to a cleat over on the tree trunk would be too simple!! :)

The squirrels can get to it. It's about 15' off the ground and 15' below the tree limb. They can't climb down to it because the line is monofiliment fishing line. There is a patio fence and a another tree nearby and they sit there and twich and bob their little heads up and down and wish...haha

I used a monofilament line because it is so hard to see. At a distance the bird feeder just seems to hover in the air.

You bet!

Yes! Class 2 lever. Being used to lift another great invention, the wheel.

Thanks. I have a shovel like that but never thought of using it. If I had, I would not have 'invented the tire lifting board!

Actually, that's a good idea! Thanks!

And some folks on KZbin install a spring-loaded latch opposite the hinge.

Thank you so much. It's a little bit complicated but it works!

You are most welcome. Good luck with your tire lifting board!

You're very welcome. It has saved my back more than once!

Great! I'm sure you'll like it.

Yes! Thank you!

You bet!

Thank you Brantley!

Thanks!!

I have watched that feeder for hours over the years and that has never happened. The birds always fly directly to and land on the edges of the feeder, never flying over it where they might hit the line. They sit on the branches of nearby trees and repeatedly make round trips to and from the feeder. It's quite interesting and entertaining.

My pleasure!

fred ve: Actually, there is an actual bird feeder! Here is the video of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHW7e4V6ibiZr8U Thanks for the question/comment. You make a good point and I've added the video of the bird feeder in the description. Thanks! Richard

Thanks Mark. Glad the video was helpful to you and good luck! Richard

You are exactly right. Nothing could keep me from watching Norm on Saturday afternoons. Loved that show!

Yes the line could jump off the shiv and onto the axle of the pulley. Need to keep tension on line at all times to keep that from happening. The monofilament fishing line should last for years!

James: The ring I used is actually from a 'coaster' for a potted plant. I got it at Home Depot. It had 3 little balls welded to the bottom of the ring which I cut off. Unfortunately I have not seen anything like that recently. Richard

Michael’s craft stores sell metal rings of various diameter. I buy mine from the aisle where they stock sand, rocks, floral wire and metal wreath bases.

Edward: That sounds like a great idea! Richard

Me too!

I installed two 30 amp circuits to the workbench because I wanted to provide for future growth. I have heaters, chargers, electric tools, a compressor, etc. plugged into them. I can divide/balance the load between the two circuits. Since there were two circuits, I plugged the saw into one and the vac into the other. That way I could start both at the same time without fear of tripping a single breaker because they are on different circuits/breakers. I could run both on a 20 amp circuit being careful not to start them at the same time, which I did for years in other houses. TWO 30 AMP circuits is certainly overkill. I guess it could be said that "I did it because I could!" :)

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it. It's so much fun swinging that wrench around and letting it fly! Been doing it since I was a kid.

Yes, Andy, I could! Thanks for the idea! Richard

Wendy: Excellent! Paper is thin. Needs a shallow drawer! Of course!

Thanks! It's my son's band playing.

Rick: You are most welcome. Good idea on the 2x3 to reduce weight! Richard

@@oldokieworkshop yes they are perfect and I'm so glad I did not buy any. None I could purchase can do what these can. I found them light enough I could kick them into place and also heavy enough they didn't move. Picking up one base and one ramp, totally manageable weight-wise. Perfect sir! Happy New Year!

Joni: It it a 2x8 just like the one two levels below (the one on the bottom). The portion of the top where the pins go is beveled to match the angle of the ramp. Hope this helps. Richard
