Going Off Grid Ep 4 - Welding/ Making - Work Bench - Forme Industrious

[@popefang]

Love the shot of the meal, resupply with anti-scurvy food. Nup.😁

[@CraigsWorkshop]

I love this new offgrid series - it's brilliant 👍 Please keep 'em coming - you're doing a great job.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Craig! I thought I needed to do something a bit different and I'm enjoying the projects heaps!

[@Justins_shed]

The poo-kelpie washdown . . . I’ve done that a few times. Thanks for another enjoyable video, Scott.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

She was rank! Thanks Justin!

[@jenniclark1064]

Your workbench is awesome & Grandad would be proud of you using his tools. Love the roos WOW Halls Falls is stunning, how special it’s on your doorstep..

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Jenni! It is nice to use Grandads tools. I hope my Grandkids get to appreciate mine when the time comes (No grandkids yet though). Halls Falls is very special!

[@bigpuppytools4295]

Thanks for sharing more off grid, I'm enjoying the series, stay safe and Happy.👍

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Much appreciated BPT, thank you!

[@markcnc]

Best moment, i am torn between the beauty of Halls Falls and the look on your face at the first bite of that rice and everything meal. 🤔

[@JohnMillar5312]

Put an ear plug in the wire feeder, it wipes the wire clean as you weld . Great video

[@AndysDIY]

Totally agree mate! I use 2 earplugs on the wire as it leads into the wirefeeder and add desiccant packs in the bottom of the machine to help prevent moisture.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I didn't show it very well but the wire was rusty. I hadn't use this machine in ages. I should have just spooled off all the bad wire at the beginning but I got lazy. Good tip by the way, thanks!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Good tips, thanks!

Thank you!

Petit à petit l’oiseau fait son nid . Merci scott pour cette belle vue EN fin de vidéo .

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Merci! Tu as raison, c'est trop beau !

[@RobRobertson1000]

Wonderful series Scott. And yes, lots to give thanks for up there in the Tablelands bush.

[@spinyuk]

Very much enjoying this off grid build stuff :) and that birdsong! that and the waterfalls I'd never get anything done! I spent a few months in Australia in 2002 after getting a reduncancy payout from a job, bought a car and drove from sydney to cairns then back down to melbourne, and the quiet is what I remember best, just stopping literally miles from anywhere and just hearing a few birds and crickets, just amazing. Difficult to find that here in the UK, not impossible, but there isn't as much space without other people :)

[@Batti2323]

THe sounds of nature are amazing! It's hard to feel like you are alone. Love Granddad's old bandsaw! This is a great series, Scott!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Very much appreciated - Thanks again!

[@OleNavy]

I liked your use of the railroad spikes. There is some versatility in them but they are increasingly difficult to find. My last project was to make various figures with them and I had to purchase what I needed. Always enjoy your project videos, Scott.

[@yorkshirejoinery2869]

You’ve been blasting the editing recently! Great intro soundtrack! Great video! Keep it going!

[@laser-on-off]

The food and dog scenes are epic. And of course, there is some serious and enjoyable work. Great job !!

[@garagemonkeysan]

Nice video. Cool projects. Your camp food looked delicious to me. Mahalo for sharing! 🙂🙏🐒

[@dashingdonald]

Scott just found your site, what you are doing on your property is bloody fantastic, at 67 that's what I always wanted to do. True the sound in the Aussie bush is something you can only dream about.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thanks Donald! Yes the sounds of the bush is lovely indeed!

[@delbasidtimbers]

Sketchy dinner of champions, buddy. Love the new series

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Mate, super sketchy! Thanks Dale!! taking the lathe up this week end.

[@catey62]

Love your bench, simple but practical. Halls falls looks so beautiful, between that and the peacefulness of where your'e building, I can see why you bought your property. 😊

[@fabiohaddad2531]

Cool video! The place is beautiful, so nice to see those kangaroos around, loved. The bench is perfect, I have two made in the very same way, they are strong, rigid and quite possible will last decades.

[@vjaneczko]

I actually have childhood memories of that Coleman cooking stove and the yellow tent stakes. I'm a bit jealous, to be honest; the construction, the setting, the hands-on approach. Love it!

[@tjkoker]

Oh Scotty, thoroughly enjoyed this video and thanks for the flash back. Elvis and crunchy tacos. Couldn't ask for a better combo. Cheers.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Glad you enjoyed it! Great minds think alike :)

[@tobikruse11]

Thank you for another great video! I really like the way you are, you seems to be the most chilled and grounded person ever, keep on! Greetings from Germany ✌🏼

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you for the uplifting message!! Much more to follow :)

Thanks Scott, i'm enjoying going along on this journey with you guys.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Glad you are enjoying it! Thanks for letting me know!

[@technicalstudies.]

Excellent.

[@davestinyworkshop]

Wow, you live in such a beautiful area. Congrats! Totally enjoying this new video style!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Dave! Yes it is pretty special!

[@itempany]

Another great video.....good to see pest barrier going on...you don't need any surprises inside workshop. The falls looked really nice. I haven't been to them ...will have to go next time in area

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Yep shed is sealed now and it gives peace of mind. Those falls are amazing! can't wait for that swim in a few months.

[@phuongvo3051]

I really love your environment, I’m from California USA, the HALL FALL is so beautiful amazing, ❤

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

It is really beautiful up there. 5 minutes from our property.

[@GibClark]

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Glad you dropped by Gib, thanks again!

[@EdMeyer22]

Beautiful property you have - exciting to watch the progress!

[@annie-centrepiecefurniture]

Can’t get enough of this awesome series Scott! Lots of hard work will be so worth it. Great to watch 😀😀

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Awesome to hear Annie thank you!!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

I was thinking how amazing it is to have kangaroos right in your yard, but then it occurred to me that you would likely feel the same if you saw the white tail bucks and does that we have roaming around in ours. Nature. It's pretty cool.

[@apdj94]

It's so beautiful. I finally saved up enough money to go on a trip and it was between Australia and Iceland but ultimately decided to stay in the northern hemisphere since I'll be going in December. Maybe in another 5 years I'll make down there!

[@debramcknight]

What a beautiful falls!

[@joell439]

Beautiful landscape to work and relax in. Never pass up an opportunity to enjoy the sights and sound of nature 👍👍😎👍👍

[@josephharrington3530]

Those falls are beautiful! The place is coming along nicely sir. Cant wait to see what gets built on that bench in the future! Enjoying the series

[@paulmorton5542]

thanks again Scott, amazing

[@oldchev2850]

Living the good life Scott👍 Beautiful area

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Beautiful indeed, Thanks again!

[@royosborn7869]

Thanks for taking the time to document your projects - looks like this could be both a project update as well as an off-grid cooking video😊

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you! I'm pretty sure it would be a flop if I did cooking videos ;)

[@Farm_fab]

Scott, your clamps reminded me. We were working late one night at work, and the boss grabbed a bottle of dish detergent to wash his dishes at break time. I told him he was using the wrong detergent. He said, "excuse me?" I said that was the wrong time of day to use that. The bottle says Dawn, not dusk. All jesting aside, that table should be more than adequate. I live in a town of about 3,100 residents, but my shop is about 25 km from the house. It's on an old order Amish farm, so there's no electricity there. I have to run my power tools from a generator, and I have solar panels to power my led lights and smaller electric tools. I'll be building a waste oil heater as we're nearly into autumn here and already the temperatures are beginning to drop. I don't mind being off grid at my shop, as it's just a minor inconvenience. I wish you well on your endeavors there.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Bryant! I guess you learn to make do with what you have and I think it will all work out fine. Thanks for your comment!!

[@ozwald6273]

Livin' the dream mate. Enjoy.

[@Bear_Builds]

Great video, sorry about the burnt shell😁 I love the journey your on!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Huge thanks Barry! I ate them all the same :)

[@MauroSedrani]

Only quality time with your videos! Thanks Scott!

[@johnperrett8782]

Except for the taco shells I would have done all you did exactly the same. Always enjoyable to see what you are up to.

[@dougsaunders8109]

I have a family in Oz. As a pommie I have spent quite a bit of time down under, great place. You are the first Aussie I have heard talk about the unique sound of Australia, that was my thought when I arrived for the first time and still is Kookaburras and Magpies (UK magpies make a very boring sound) together, as Aussie as freezing beer and animals that want to kill you!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

The Bird life (feathered :) is amazing in these parts. They can make a racket sometimes but for the most, they just make their beautiful music. Yep, in their spare time they try and kill you ;) same as every thing else here.

[@charleshemsley4149]

Ya beer has got to be COLD mate.

Beautiful Nature! You are lucky. Enjoy your off grid life. 👍👍👍

[@ogogo4154]

You have chosen a very good place to stay. Very beautiful! I was especially impressed by the waterfall. 👍 P.s. My dog does the same. This terrible stench burns my nostrils. When you were washing it, I could smell it through the screen. 🤣

[@micmike]

That was really beautiful, Halls Falls. Gonna serve ya well in summer. Thanks for sharing always enjoy our visits

[@rasulmuratov6772]

Always a pleasure watching your videos! Beautifull outdoors!

[@BradleyMakesThings]

Loving these offgrid videos Scott! You’ve got plenty to do otherwise but I can’t wait for the next. :) Keep it up!

[@TheCaptainbeefylog]

I'm very happy that I've found your channel. I'm looking at doing this on my own in southern Queensland on the Western Downs. I can do carpentry, wiring, plumbing, mechanical, but I think I need to learn to weld. Most of the properties I'm looking at are lacking access to water, power or even mobile reception, so there should be some challenges there. Nothing insurmountable I believe. I've got the tools and know how basically. So now it's sourcing the materials which I'm pretty good at. You're inspiring me more and more.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Great to hear! Thank you. We have all the same problems on our block, but one by one we are solving them all. We now have plenty of water and off grid electricity. Those two make a huge difference. All the best and good luck.

[@kevinromania]

I've watched all your vids. And being a Pom enjoyed your Ausie easy going outlook. But then you included a clip of some kangaroos wandering around your plot. I'm now very jealous and want kaneroos to wander through my English garden and Romanian forest.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Australian Kangaroos in an English garden , in Romania! That would be cool. We are lucky to have all these nice animals around. Many thanks!

[@Dutch779]

Scott I live in Bacchus Marsh Victoria, and love the Australian bush, good series mate.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Thank you Paul!!

[@gsftom]

Love watching the projects that you work on!

[@douglasthompson2740]

When making workbenches I always leave a perimeter lip of good proportion so that a variety of clamp styles can fit and get a grip. Can't think of all the number of times I had to use every clamp I had down to the three and four inch ones as well. Can't do it with a thick table top.

[@rickmoore]

love that band saw

[@albertoscordo7367]

Muy buena vida Scott te felicito cualquier cosa por vivir así me haría tanta falta

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Gracias. Tenemos mucho que hacer. Hay mucha agitación pero valdrá la pena.

[@isaactalley2819]

I’m so excited for how it’s all going to turn out!!!

[@FixitFingers]

Certainly easier to build a new bench than drag the old ones up the hill 350km! :D

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

My thoughts too!

[@awesomearizona-dino]

Looks like flux core setup. I remember when i started with gas, i felt like a pro, welds were sooo much better. Great work Scott. Nice bench.

[@58Kym]

Gee I don’t know Scott, weldspit on that lovely clean painted floor? That would sure hurt my heart…..well the first couple of times anyway. And now….I am knackered too so off to get a rum and coke … with ice!

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

I was very precious about the floor, so I put the work on the plywood and I used a metal dustpan beneath the weld. But I had to push through the pain barrier :) Enjoy the Rums!

[@darwill7834]

Love your making regular videos again . Really enjoy all your videos and looking forward to following your new adventure. All the best darrall from UK.

[@OneManBandWoodworks]

Awesome series mate, I recently did a few jobs in the country in uninhabited homes that I'm getting ready for market and I know that feeling of eating alone every night on some dodgy folding table and chocking in a makeshift kitchen

Your content and lifestyle is very inspiring for those of us who like the world of welding, woodworking, diy etc. Thank you very much for sharing your videos, greetings from Mexico.👍

Scott, if you rub dish detergent on your pan before you use it each time, it makes it easier to clean up when your done.

Really? I was told veggie oil.

Hi Scott, Nice Bench I thought that the black board on the floor was 3/4" 19mm steel. But with the cost of steel now that would be quite expensive. I priced out a 6' x12' x 12 gauge 2m x 4m x 2.6mm for a trailer floor and they quoted me $616.00USD or $904.00AUD. I was going to ask if you had any kangaroos near your property, but I guess you do. I imagine they keep their distance from humans, but will they get into your things looking for food? Looking forward to more videos from your off grid location.

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Steel is insane these days. Thank you!!
