Muy bueno

Thank you, 😊

Doesn’t even show you working😂

I have the opposite problem. Trying to dig a deep hole in dry white sand is not gonna happen. I have to pour water into the hole and lift it out as mud. The wet sides won't cave in easily so you can set the post.

Spic and cpan CLEAN ..POLISHED THAR BOAT..! Amazing save..? Hmmmm

Hey Ted, miss your content, hope the trout attack didn't affect you too bad. That would explain the lack of posting though i guess. Anyway, miss you. Your biggest fan.

It works great, you can take it apart and put it in the back of a pick up truck, only takes a few minutes to get ready, if you set trusses all the time, you need a machine but for small jobs, like you said, this works and it's fairly cheap to put one together. As far as the safety part is concerned, I just made the video, It's not my crew.

Ingenious! We could use something like this for small construction projects :)

Simple and practical, this was very helpful, thank you. This is exactly what I needed help with and wasn't really sure how to do it.

Wtf

Had the Clamagor sub in Charleston SC, but is going to sunk off the coast of Florida of it already hasn't been sunk

Didn’t have the money? Why didn’t the government chip in for the restoration? They’re giving billions to other countries. Good God!

Baseball pants look scruffy sir

Utigi

great video to help with water in post hole

Great tour. I’d definitely visit if I was ever close. I just wish the kids weren’t talking in background because difficult to hear sometimes. But still great to watch. Thanks.

How tall does that hoist go?

Thank you

Can you tell us about where to buy these trus

Submarines are great as they double as great spaceships #Darkfleet

Sloped roof?

Most WW II fleet subs were named for fish: Tang, Silversides, Cod ect...........

I had the honour of touring the drum in mobile Alabama in 1988 along with the Alabama I have many photos and great memories love and prayers from Australia

Yeah she's the unsung hero of world war II and what is her thanks being beached I said all of her weight is bearing down on the keel of her hull instead of floating in water as she should be.

Oh hell no.

How can I volunteer... Just stunning how something so complex can be assembled and work efficiently 💪🇺🇸🇺🇸💪

Old Navy guy subbed here w/bell- this is outstanding Sir.

No Q

Looks like to much work for absolutely no reason, personally I wouldn’t piss around with drums at all, dig a 8 inch hole for a 4/6 inch posts and fill it with concrete 🤷🏻‍♂️. Quicker no mess and most likely will lasts alot longer, them holes you are digging for the that size/thickness of posts its massive and waste of materials..

I wish you had included the big (tall) rib in the cut. That part can make a preacher cuss on Sunday.

I salute anyone and everyone whos served as a submariner, thats gotta be one hell of a job that takes massive balls to do. I toured the USS Drum a few weeks ago, an i got this weird feeling inside me like i was walking on sacred grounds. Words cant describe it good enough but it was pride an respect.

Fairbanks Morse Diesel 38 1/8 ND Motor The take home bus they called it. as of 2020 something based on the ND is used. The take home bus is dying off.

I've a novel about the USS Tang submarine that was also a prolific hunter while it served in ww2

Drum is oldest U.S. navy submarine. I don't think the sailfish is still around

It was the USS barb that sank the train. Being on blocks is the best, it takes time with just two people. DeRosa past away a couple of years ago

If there is water in the hole why not use a barrel with a bottom still attached? Dig deeper to seat the barrel and you're assured of no water. Otherwise water can rise-up into a bottom-less barrel and dilute the setting wet concrete.

Joe Biden and kamelho wouldn't know what this boat is!

I'm sure it was the USS Drum that was the only submarine to destroy a train.

Subs had way too man men. Could have been operated with a lots less and still function.

We toured the Drum with two of our sons who were Air Force Master Sergeants. They were both amazed at how full the interior was. I served in USS Blueback (SS-591), one of the last diesel boats. The Blueback's displacement was about 200 tons more than the Drum; but inside there sure wasn't much more room! D B F!

Thanks! That was really helpful~

Sad to see something like this, this old gal deserves better than this. U.S.S. Drum needs better care than sitting on tinder blocks. C'mon people please let's start a restoration account for this veteran of WWll..

Thanks!

The only thing I don’t really like as she is now is only first deck and the conning tower are open to the public to my knowledge. When compared to BB60 in the bay, there’s not much to see. You could more or less go anywhere on the Alabama. I hope they get her to that point one day. It was still an honor to be aboard the Drum

If this is not preserved . . . it will be forgotten. Thia memorial, keeps it alive ! 🇺🇸

Matured in life . . . one hour from this missions evolution - New London, CT. Even had a brother-in-law, made a career working for Electric Boat - a producer of nuclear submarines ! 🇺🇸

100% the wrong way of doing this.

Very thin tin don't if that would work on thicker tin
