The author does like to kzbin.infoUgkxkNYRBJuiJ6EwD-tQSAlxg0eFKsnR2cgz from scratch, shaping and trimming wood from large blocks into fine finished products. As another reviewer mentioned, most projects require a lot of high-dollar equipment that most of us don’t have the room or budget for. But, knowing how to do these things, even if we won’t be able to practice the full stack project, is still great.

Fill the forklift with coolant, make sure you blead it, and it has a thernostat in it.

[@TheHomeMaker1]

My insurance company says I own $70,000 + usd in tools in my shop I have spent maybe $5,500-$6,500 on Facebook marketplace and Craigslist lol

[@btrswt35]

I've never seen or heard of a magnetic brake before. Just discovered a new tool

[@EvanDunville]

That's how I get all my tools. I'm not spending my money im storing it in the form of a tool.

[@jeremyspecce]

Excellent reasoning🙏🏻

[@MRSketch09]

I'm going to remember this excuse when dealing with my wife. Tell her its an investment. lol.

[@mak4374]

I hope you don't mind but I am going to use your video as a template for excuses...I mean, good reasons, to use towards my wife to justify all my purchases...even for brand new tools. The ol' classic, "But honey, this is for the health of our timeless marriage!", is getting overused, and she is catching on, so... 🤣

Dude, this is a next level next level workshop. My metalwork shop has a 6" grinder, metal drop saw, 2000W mig welder, and a drill stand. A lathe is next on the list. Everything in Australia is stupid expensive at the moment.

I got my Pexto shear with the back gauge and front supports for $200. Now to air power it. Great score.

[@SchysCraftCo.]

Cris awesome job. This weeks video was very helpful and definitely useful video explaining this tip. Thanks so much Chris. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friends. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Forge On. Fab On. Weld On. Keep forge lit. Keep making. God bless.

[@nefariousyawn]

Ditto, except I tend to negotiate in person. I feel like it's easier for me to get a feel for what the tool is worth, what kind of condition it's in etc. Additionally, it's easier for me to read the seller's commitment to a sale or reaction to what I offer. I also don't want to create any hard feelings with a seller, but I find it easier to do that in person. Also be ready to walk away. As a seller, I have had the weirdest low ball offers on stuff - like $50 on something in excellent condition that would normally sell used for $600 - so I assume the seller I'm talking to has had to deal with that online too.

[@nefariousyawn]

Oh, and I have definitely made offers to buy something, only for the seller to tell me they sold it for more to someone else before I got to their location. That stings.

[@branchandfoundry560]

Same here. I like to hammer out the deal face to face. I would feel weird negotiating something I have not laid eyes/hands on.

[@jamesogorman3287]

Anybody that lowballs me right off the bat without asking questions or seeing the item wins an immediate block. I try to live by the Golden Rule.

[@MrHhhscott]

What recommendations do you have to help with search terms on the different sites?

[@MakeEverything]

I use very vague search terms usually, like shear, brake, lathe, mill, drill, etc. typically people selling things they don’t know much about don’t know how to properly describe them. Those are the best deals!!

[@MrHhhscott]

Thanks

[@nefariousyawn]

If you're good at scanning/skimming pages of results, you might catch people that misspell their tools really badly. Like if I'm searching for tools, I might find a lathe that was spelled "latte" because the seller wasn't proofreading their auto correct. Or someone spelled it "lath" and didn't correct it because it was their grandfather's and they just need to get rid of his old stuff.

[@gregbenwell6173]

Sorry to be so blunt but myself personally all I can SCREAM is "F__K Craig's List!!!"!!!!! I bought a table saw on Craig's List, the guy "showed me that it worked" until I got it home, then realized he'd removed BOTH knobs that controlled the tilt and the blade height adjustment!! I had bought THAT saw for $80 and spent another $80 on it for parts to replace the missing pieces, only to then realize, he'd never given me the rip fence for it!! So I jumped on Craig's list and sold the same saw.......for only $60!! I was out $100 on that deal! THEN I bought a miter saw on Craig's List, the guy again "showed me the saw worked" and gave me a baggie with the "wenches" and the owners manual for it!! I got it home and realized that there were a bunch of teeth missing off the blade, and when grabbed the wrenches out of the bag, they didn't fit my saw, which didn't matter anyhow, because the arbor nut had been welded to the arbor, so I couldn't change the blade if I'd wanted too!! I had wasted $150 on that saw, only to recover only $50 for it, back on Craig's List! In fact the last tool I bought on Craig's List was another table saw, that I got burnt on that again! In the end I finally wised up, went to Home Depot and bought me a brand new Ryobi 10" contractors saw, and a brand new Ryobi 10" miter saw!! I got my contractors saw for just $174 and the miter saw set me back only $99 on sale!! And Craig's List folks can keep their junk, I am fed up with hustlers, liars and scumbags selling crap on Craig's List in my area!!! If it isn't NEW, then I don't want it, and I am certainly fed up with buying junk I have to repair just to use it!! I don't have time or money to waste, and that is all Craig's List offers!!! And my last point is there are too many "shady people out there" that will sell you junk and smile at you as they do it!! And it really is "buyer beware" even on Facebook Marketplace!! And I have gotten some pretty lousy "deals" on both Facebook and Craig's List......so these days I'd rather pay retail, then get stuck repairing somebody else's headaches!!

[@mikemorgan5015]

Don't loan your tools to this guy! He runs over his own water hose with his forklift, multiple times, on gravel and brings out cast iron machines in the rain thinking a little WD-40 will make it AOK, talking about flash rust. IN THE RAIN! ...... Haha! Very cool score on both machines!! Well done!

[@fooddude9921]

You are primed for an awesome Shop Reorganization and Cleaning vid - everybody loves those (and anything that gets pressured washed-lol).

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Smokin' deal! Build a concrete pad maybe 10 X 10 under the beam. The landlord might like the idea too.

[@jerrybigrig9475]

Nice score on the tools .. Your forklift is freezing up because the radiator is low ..keep radiator full with antifreeze..if you use water you'll rust out the inside of the block..

[@mpirokajosephmgcokoca2355]

Foot shear makes one works more than its necessary, jump! jump!jump! 🙄 bad investment if you ask me 🙄

[@BenNawrath]

Put a maroon skootch brite on a palm sander (you don't mind getting dirty) and it'll take off that rust like nobody's business.

[@LarryAWolff]

I cringe when I hear the grit as you slide the sheetmetal in the shear. Next time try using a can of WD and hosing it down good to wash away the edge killing grit, and everytime you fold the part and it doesn't shear the blade gets bowed.

[@brucemitchell5637]

Why didn't you move the hose from the pump before you ran over it with the fork lift, halfa dozen times?

[@MakeEverything]

That hose split a couple weeks back I just haven’t had a chance to remove it. Now I just run over it out of spite.

[@claytondennis8034]

Did you get your blade gap set correctly on the shear yet?

[@jackkara91]

What makes you think you can "triple your money" when the guy was clearly struggling to sell at $1000? Selling tools is fine when you can afford to sit and wait for years sometimes.

[@MakeEverything]

He had the mag brake listed and no power to show it working, so just being able to demonstrate it to a buyer would make worth $1500. The 52” shear was never listed but other ones in my area sell For $1500+. I’m not in them to sell them tomorrow, but I don’t buy stuff that isn’t trading for more in my market

[@r.b.587]

Great channel, enjoyed the video. Thank you.

[@EngineerMikeF]

That mag brake is awesome! Next to zero obstruction, how sweet

[@shawnbuonarosa3188]

So you bought 2 pieces of KAKA for $1000 huh?

[@orobinczaia5527]

Shop filled with stuff made by someone else.

[@4rnorthwest]

So here is what you need to be aware of when using CL or FB Marketplace, etc…… At that price for both of them, its most likely their stolen. Ya, you helped screw someone buying stolen equipment. “But how could you steal heavy equipment!?” Think about it, small company or business, something not getting used much sitting in the back, unscrupulous scumbag makes a side deal and later pretends he has no idea where that shit is a month later when they want to use it again! $1000 for them pair? In the age of the internet?! Like he wasn’t a google search away of making 3 times that EASILY!!!! But he’s gonna make a quick buck because its not his and he has to do it quick. Ya, stolen. So buyer beware. If its too good to be true (ESPECIALLY in the used tool market) then its stolen. Did you get a good deal? Yes. Is it stolen? Obviously! You shoulda known better. You seem like a nice guy so I don’t want to also say, “i think you kinda had a feeling these were stolen but you WANTED them!” But i hope thats not the case.😕

[@donrozwick7367]

thanks for the tips about marketplace

[@UzumakiGarage]

That was very cool thanks man. I been searching for a metal brake too and now I know I really want a magnetic brake. Hello from Australia

[@phillipchambers8487]

Very Good Score! I only buy stuff like this New is there is just no other choice at all. I will spend months looking for good used Equipment/Tools first. There are way too many good Used Machines & Tools out there to be paying full Retail $$$ Great Video!

[@Stephen8454]

Definitely worth it. I recently got a massive 7" machinist vice, a pipe threader for cheap and even got a few slabs of granite for free for some of my machines to sit on

[@MRSketch09]

Dude, I hope I'm as lucky as you 1 day. Where I live, it's just a desert when it comes to cool equipment like this. (Unless I'm the one buying it new & then re-selling it) On a side note, if you had a small plasma cutter, would it be worth it buying the "Shear"?

[@brodi5367]

I know you said WD-40 sponsored the vid, which is cool....but I would use fluid film or something of the like for sitting metal parts. It sticks and actually works.

[@protect.your.digits.creations]

great video Chris , I'm sure many people will benefit from it ... Not everyone has a "Gregg Gets" as a friend hahahaha

[@charlesgunzelman3323]

Try Phosphoric Acid aka "prep n etch". It dissolves rust, and anything it can't dissolve will be changed to a black inert oxide in the deeper pits. It can still be taken off with a wire wheel later, but the rust won't get worse.

[@chetleonard169]

I found my Festool track saw, tracks and domino and dust extractor all for $300 at an estate sale

[@jeremyspecce]

Nice when the deal makes itself and you don’t have to push too hard. 🙌🏻I understand what you are saying about pre-negotiating to avoid bad feelings when you actually meet.
