Ramblotron Entry for October 18 2018 - Get Back to Work you Slob!

Going back to work full time since working for myself is not working out, its good to be back at a full time job, all stainless steel work, machinist and welding work.
Once things have stabilized I will terminate the Patreon account and just causally upload videos as I see fit, this channel is just a side project at this point.
The generator project will be moving a long tho, and I have yet to upload videos of the power hacksaw resto.

[@nolowputts]

Yes, more autopsies please! That's how I originally discovered your channel, and they remain some of my favorite vids.

[@frankmcgorman962]

Curie is turning into quite a beauty. Good to hear you're back to full time work. Good luck!!

[@twocvbloke]

I see you have a Toy-R-Us sack trolley on a permanent borrow basis there, don't think they'll want it back now... :P

[@Aussie50]

yep I have 2, friend of mine manages security at the local mall and we had first pickings of the left over junk after the store closed. scored 11 sets of school lockers from the staff room complete with $370 of cash throughout them! I am still waiting to find out whats happening with the CCTV and checkout electronics

[@twocvbloke]

Can't beat free cash, especially if the lockers were free... :D I've heard that TrU may be coming back under another name buuuuuut, I haven't a clue how true that is, so, watch this space I guess!! :)

[@gmcnewlook]

twocvbloke here in Canada they never closed some company bought the rights or something like that ..... though came close .....

[@TheFlacker99]

Nice to hear you're working again Ed! I look forward to the teardowns and videos you have saved up!

[@LPFthings]

Good to see you back on the videos!

[@photosbychristensen]

Kurry say dad got full time job it mean More toys and treats lol

[@andrewkemp15ii57]

Time to get some LED tube for the lights?

[@Aussie50]

yeh the fluro's were on but the camera did not pick up anywhere near enough light

[@rupert5390]

Good on you - you are too talented as a machinist to be pisfarting around with wacky engineering - you need to recognise that you have many viewers who are machining engineering oriented - videos from your full time work as instructional vids like Abom may be the go - good luck with everything.

[@Oneupthesleevecustoms]

Like ya videos mate the shed looks perfect ;) just the right amount of stuff every where #Screwtyrepower

[@Oneupthesleevecustoms]

Super cheap auto have awesome wheel dollys that would move the genset

[@Biblicalprofessor]

Curie, fetch that generator

[@NiHaoMike64]

On the dog getting in the way and eating what it's not supposed to, Micah Elizabeth Scott will tell you cats are no better. :)

[@TheFurriestOne]

Whatever works for you is good for me! I'll enjoy the videos as they come! Curie's a big cutie! Yeah, sounds like you've got a good plan of action!

[@Aussie50]

hah yeh things will be done, given Curie allows me the time to do them :p

[@TheFurriestOne]

She's an attention-hungry li'l thing, isn't she? XD Have a couple indoor cats like that, they love to snuggle but I get too warm pretty quickly because of their body heat! Like little furnaces they are.

[@Imnotimportant555]

Good for you. I hope you like your new job. Also kurry is super cute. :3

[@Madmick82]

Still getting out and shooting mate?

[@Aussie50]

yeh, not as often as I wish I could tho

[@Madmick82]

Same

[@Aussie50]

ammo is expensive too :p, I would love to make a Delisle carbine clone on a SMLE action in 9mm, I can get crates of 1500 rounds of lead round nose target ammo for $300, pretty cheap plinking

[@Aussie50]

that and it could use Glock mags, 32rd 9mm mags can be had, just expensive

[@Madmick82]

I think it’s costing me about a $1.30 per shot now with the .303

[@HDXFH]

Puppotron update

[@rupert5390]

Like you, I am a mechanical hoarder - it can get out of control, you have to force yourself to throw things out.

[@Aussie50]

haha yeh, it does get out of control!

[@rmx77]

the n series of video recorders came around right before the vhs vcr. these are early 70's to late 70's and they were a little funky since it was a reel on top of a reel in a square case for the tape. strange design but they were doing all kinds of stuff in the 70's mostly these were more common in the uk then the us and anywhere else.

[@Aussie50]

yeh I looked this one up, Its mid 70's era, the tapes reminded me of an 8 track but not quite, its not a full loop.

[@HDXFH]

Video 2000 very collectible, a beta machine costs $ 2500 now

[@rmx77]

totally. very funky machine. whats rare is the tapes. good luck finding tapes if anyone in the uk has any around somewhere

[@maketheworldabetterplaceki4028]

Such a nice dog. I just want to pat her so bloody bad lol

[@maxstrainsfanssmash687]

What breed is your dog? he is cute

[@SamSitar]

i look forward to more informative videos. keep the fire extinguisher.

[@Aussie50]

yeh that one is good and charged, also getting a few CO2 ones out of Julians old shop server room, should be right for fire extinguishers for a while :D

[@MadOnions]

If your going to part out the extruder that angle drive gearbox looks like it would make a nice weld positioner. Dont know how much you would need one but they are handy to have. I made one out of a grain truck 40:1 gearbox and a Ryobi drill. Works great!

[@FourSeasonsHD]

I read your statement above about going to work. The problem, AFAIK, is that certain type of competent and enterprising people do not have a framework that could pay the bills for designing, testing and prototyping new cool things for a better future. So I try to come up with a solution for that. If you can find my web address from my profile, I explain this idea of a designers' framework briefly on the index page.

[@RolandElliottFirstG]

Your back

[@Tedd755]

What about his back?

[@deadguy237]

Keep up the great content. Wish i could make more. Soon i hope. Happy to hear about the new job. Keep on keepin on!!

[@travis4798]

Just like me, gets stuff expecting to use them, too broken or takes up too much space to keep lol! Always a balancing act. Currie is getting big also!

[@alex993cc1]

careful with the alucobond, you dont wanna burn your house down :P

[@iwtommo]

Fantastic news bud. Everyone knows that if you want to get something done you give it to the busy guy, thats now you.

[@Individualman929]

YEAH

[@quadcam24v]

Good to see you back to full time work. Gotta take Curie to puppy school ;)

[@tommee10533]

Come on Ed, with all the stuff that around that shop, you should be able to fab. a set of machine movers , itll make life alot easier moving that generator.

[@Aussie50]

you mean machinery skates? I have been thinking about that. would not be hard to make a basic set of skates.

[@DONK8008]

Curie really stealing the show here.

[@reddogsaws]

I saw that there had no idea what it was for

[@pow0006]

welcome back mate

[@ricksanchez6384]

Thanks for the video
