How about a workshop tour vid -overview of what you've got why and where / what you've mostly used a piece of equipment for etc. -your workshop looks great -it has my wish list -gantry crane, mill, lathe, heavy duty workbench etc -all stuff i'm planning / gathering bits for when i rebuild my workshop :)

I like watching your channel, you always talk in a way that people can understand if these jobs are all new to them, fantastic idea with the bracket system for the grinders, you are so right that where ever you fix them permanently they are always in the way 🤬🤬Like the way you showed the set up & the cutting of the timbers with the angles, rather than all cut off camera & the next we see is something just being fixed to the wall & we are all left guessing 😊👍A very unique channel, which keeps my interest in watching, Thankyou 😊

The grinder idea is brilliant, so simple but cool. I was watching Clint over at C&C and he was using the exact same jack that you have to put bearing rings into a digger arm. That speed pump was a really good buy, what age is it, it looks older than me and I'm in my 60's. 😂👍

The electric pump that you purchased at auction is identical to the pump used on my hydraulic hose crimper for attaching fittings on the ends of the hoses. Mine breaks out at 12,000 psi and the one that you have breaks out at 8 to 9,000 psi and it is designed this way as to not crush the fittings making them unusable and weaken them. I enjoy your videos and have been following you since i have seen you and Lord Muck on Diesel Creek. Keep doing what you are doing.

Is there a brand name on yours? I’m wondering if mines just got a pressure relief for the application it’s used on. It would be nice if I could use it similarly to the foot pedal if it can be used at higher pressure.

@@CalamityKim1 Mine was bought at a repair shop/garage" GOING out of Business sale". It was sold by Gates as a Hydraulic hose crimper kit. So like you I have no idea WHO or WHAT company built it. I have tried for a while to find information about it but found very little. I use a company called " Central Hydraulics" for a some of my hydraulic needs and NAPA parts store.

That's a very neat system! It sure beats using pegboard. Though it still has its uses for light things of course. I have seen people use pegboard for heavy things and it never ends well. (Points to self) 😅 Thanks for sharing Kim!

For the electric pump, you can get a valve that has a built in check ball so it will hold the load until you manually release the pressure. With that pump and the pull ram, you've already got 2/3 of an electrical knockout punch set. All you would need are the punch and die set and the pull studs to fit.

Hi Kim good informative video, I like carpentry as a hobby and have seen the french cleat system before. However it was a good call and very handy for your application, neat and tidy and not taking up floor space. The Jack system, I thought maybe some kind of cut off at a hight reached might also lock the ram rather than just droping. But I am confident that if that was function was needed, you would have no problem sorting that out. A small observation; look as if you are getting short of space in your workshop. But I supose that is only temporary as projects get finished out the door and somthing else comes in. Loved the video and keep them coming.

Good video as always Kim 👍 like some others have said the cleat systems is a great idea but 🙄 have known a piece of metal or even a chisel perhaps with too much pressure being applied causing the bench to jump a bit 😳 yes probably operator error 😕😁 as for the air pump the self lowering is a bit of a concern but im sure you'll adapt and overcome 👌
@CalamityKim18 ай бұрын
The weight of the grinders they won’t go anywhere to be fair. I’ve already given them a lot of use 😁 the pump is a pressure relief valve but I’ll just have to take it apart and try to remove it and put an external one on that doesn’t let all the pressure off like that does
