I build a backhoe Thumb from Scrap metal I picked up at the scrap yard for $34. Will it pickup toilet paper?? The answer is in the end.

Always enjoy your videos. You have a knack for fixing things on the cheap that seem to work so well. You also put a dose of comedy for even more entertainment. Thanks so much for sharing your video with us. It was awesome!!

I have a thumb on my 38hp Kubota and it makes the whole machine 1000Xs more versatile. Beautiful work you'll love it.

I don't know about anyone else but I'm gonna give you a "thumbs up"! This is like many of my own projects over the years - CBE - crude but effective. I agree serrations would be helpful and make the thumb more versatile.

i am pretty hard on things and i tore the steel on the backhoe. the weld didnt break, but it is so handy its worth the time. i think for 150 buck you can buy one off ebay.

answer the door in your underwear sporting some morning wood and invite them inside with an evil smile and laugh, they will NOT be back !

Tip for torch shut off, always turn off the gas/ acetylene before the you shut off the oxygen. Excess gas in tour he can explode. I really like your videos!

Not bad for scrap steel. The main thing is, it works! Set my pants on fire the other day too. Good thing I was wearing high top boots.

i tried to show in the video some fails at first and then toward the end the torch work is like it should be. thats real life . i dont think anyone can be proficient with something when not being practiced on a regular basis.

@@mikekisch5563 I confess,, I did not watch the whole video,, :-),,,, It usually takes me about 10 to 15 minutes to clean up a ratty tip,, as long as it has not been used as a hammer,,, With a tip facing tool and a new set of tip cleaners,, I can get a cutting stream that is 6 to 8 inches long,,, When you get to that point, the torch will make a very special sound when pressing the cutting handle,,
