I wish there was a scrapyard like yours near me.

[@richard1165]

There are many junk yards in the States that don't even allow the public to go and purchase scrap (more along the lines of straight recycling centers). You might be lucky to at least have a pick-and-pull yard near you, but they don't charge at scrap value like a scrapyard yard would as they charge by the part type in many cases.

it's funny you both assume Dennis is in the USA. I know it's probable but there are a lot of other countries in the world lol

[@1_GigaWaffle]

@@dfpguitar Yep) Here in ukraine "scrapyard" means a place for utterly unusable junk. Because often anything that is usable/repairable doesn't get anywhere close to junkyard. When I moved in I had a lot of stuff to clean out. Old bed, sewing machines, whole kitchen, old women's clothes, pots, 60 year old TV, lots of junk. I would just put everything near a dumpster and every time I come out, some of the stuff would be gone. The next morning the dumpster is still full of garbage, but everything I brought out is gone.

[@akronmakerspacetreasurer3150]

So, here is your comment from Ohio, USA. I very much enjoy your videos. As my domain name says, I work at a Makerspace in Akron Ohio. I am in Northeast Ohio close to Cleveland. Akron is called the Rubber City due to being the original home of Goodyear, Firestone and B. F. Goodrich tire companies. In fact, our Makerspace is in the old B. F. Goorich tire plant. I find your videos very inspiring as we also tend to recycle old tools and equipment in order to obtain machinery that we could not afford new. We refer to this as obtaining machines that are "lovingly Pre-Broken". WE learn a lot by repairing them and putting them back into a useful condition. Keep up the good work!!! We love it.

[@H4zuZazu]

That drill probaby came from UK, since they have to use a Isolation Transformer that outputs 110-115V on Construction-Sites.

[@wilburt6131]

Yes. It's a centre tapped 115v transformer so that any live to earth shock will be only 55v ac

[@grantrennie]

They sold those hammer drills here in the UK around 1999 to 2003 for about £100, Chinese made branded bosch, I think at around the time they moved production from germany to china and the factories generally added chinese text in addition to market country text. The lead will have been changed on a construction site or by a hire shop after being damaged and the 110v commando yellow plug would have been removed to use on something else such as a site light or another tool and then just not replaced and the drill got set aside. For a while many different drills on the market were notorious for not having a safety clutch mechanism inside and so they would get stuck drilling concrete when a bit of metal rebar/re-enforcement bar was hit and spin violently causing wrist injuries drilling walls or floors and additionally if drilling above head height could cause a fall from a ladder, a facial injury or the drill could fall. Electricians used to use these to drill concrete floors for fitting industrial power cabinets and cable ladder and tray runs between walls and plant/electrical equipment and would wedge the drill between their lower legs so that if they jammed they could let go of the trigger button and it would be less likely to spin violently.. Trainee/apprentice electricians usually got the drilling tasks.. After makita made a big move into the market around 2005 many people bought those as they had safety clutches that would just make a ratcheting noise if jammed instead of the drill rotating round the jammed drill bit. Looks like nobody was too fussed to use the drill and it was cast aside years ago..

[@moodophile]

Yep, and the early to mid-90s saw lots of UK builders in Germany, there seemed to be quite a shortage at the time. I'm surprised one would have bothered bringing over 110v gear and the necessary 'site' transformer, but I suppose you have use what you got... As Grant Rennie explains below, these UK tools feature yellow 'Commando' or 'Cee form' plugs, which are almost never seen outside the UK, the more familiar ones being the blue (230v) and red (400v).

[@zoidberg444]

That was what i was thinking. 110V tools are pretty common over here. You can get a used 110V transformer for as little as £30 with a bit of luck.

[@Basement-Science]

Those 110V site transformers exist in germany as well. I don´t know in which cases they are mandatory though. Normally the tools come with a special type of CEE plug on them that only fits into one of these transformers.

Love your use of the smallest reused components. Many people think its a waste of time to scrounge fasteners. But I find there are many opportunities to sort small parts during a working day. It's a great way to clear your head, or cool off after a big day wen your head is just over stimulated.

[@knottreel]

Whenever I'd watch the home renovation shows on TV, the contractors would always scrap perfectly good wood. It was explained that it was far more cost effective to use new lumber. I can see this changing only when wood becomes scarcer and time is less of a commodity. Old world craftsmen seemed consider their time like this.

[@5084204]

Following the spirit of your channel, yesterday - before dumping my 10 years old microwave (faulty encoder - spin and press type), I decided to salvage a few parts. Transformer (remove HV coil replace with thick cable --> spot welder), cable (good quality), two induction motors (with fan blades), DC filtration module (not sure why I need it), 6RPM 230V motor (not sure yet why I need it ;) It was a simple and very refreshing activity.

Viewer from WV , not quite Ohio but as a ham radio op I have made MANY trips to Dayton OH for the Hamvention, USA’s biggest Hamfest. Praying it still exists after CORONA is done screwing everything up! I like this step down isolation transformer project. Fairly certain I have that variac in my junk box , but need the 120/120 isolation transformer itself. You have some amazing scrap yard! I am not sure of any near me but it sure looks like great fun scavenging for materials. Lord knows new materials of about any kind are ridiculous expensive! I was an IT guy many years and now regret not taking more time to salvage good stuff from the hundreds of dead printers and scanners I’ve had to dispose of through proper channels. So how’s a guy become so well informed on what and how to find the gear you collect and the amazing diagnostics you are so capable of? Very much enjoy your channel and innovative work

[@SeanBZA]

Got that exact same drill, just the 230VAC variant. It is very capable, and is light, so you will find that you use it for all work that needs concrete drilling, as it drills the holes so fast. Best is to use the matching Bosch SDS bits as well, they are much better than the clones, and last a long time as well. I also used a old 8mm SDS bit ( it had a good life, but the electrician finally killed it after 12km of lighting installation) and put a thread on the broken end, and put a keyless chuck on there, so that I could use the drill, in non hammer mode, to do things like put in screws and use regular non SDS bits. Very useful, and the chuck was free, from a dead cheapie drill I picked up in a lot, and lucky for me I had the right ( old, imperial specification) die nut to cut the thread it needed, or at least the die nut was close enough to not matter.

About the Wagner, that thing is basically a vacuum cleaner in reverse and in your paint test of it you either used a spray gun that requires a higher pressure to use or you didn't thin the paint down enough. If you ever find something like a easy sprayer/little beaver paint gun (quite easy to tell, its all plastic with a very large inlet port) you can just use a reversible vacuum cleaner with it just fine. The only trick with these things is whatever you a using with them needs to be quite thin, almost water like in consistency And I also had a thought about the step-down transformer: could you make a 240-110v step down transformer using 3 microwave oven transformers? I have a feeling that it is possible

Your opening comments on repairing and essentially prolonging the useful life actually contribute to my desire to see a faster switch to the production of electric cars in lieu of petroleum-powered cars. I want to see machines, expensive to manufacture, used to their lifespans, not junked-out in a few years, if they are not ridiculously expensive to repair. There may well come a time when a given machine is not worth repairing, but that time should be a long way off. So with that said, that's why I feel it's important to manufacture electric cars as soon as practical, and to build cars with useful range and servce-life, such that people get started driving those cars and maintaining them for the long-term as soon as practical.

The Drill is most likely from the UK.110-115 volt is the safety voltage required on building sites using a transformer that has a grounded center tap so that there is only around 55 volts to earth making a sub lethal voltage in wet conditions.

I really like the way you started this video. There is a growing culture behind recycling cans, plastics, reusing plastic bags, etc. However, people turn a complete blind-eye to throwing away useful items that will take up land fill sites. My dad has this passion for giving old items, which were perhaps thrown away, a second life. Fixing them, re-purposing them, or perhaps removing the useful parts for another project. I am glad I have 'inherited' this passion of his. It pains me to try to throw away still useful items, I would much rather re-purpose it, fix them, etc.

Your approach to the plumbing of that turbine was bang-on appropriate. When it comes to proprietary fittings, usually my first order of business is to take said fittings and turn them into adapters for industry-standard fittings that can be relied on. As for anything with plastic fittings... cut that shit out and replace it with fittings that are made out of *real* materials that are solidly anchored to the enclosure. It's usually not as hard to do as most people would think. I would only tinker with anything that has plastic fittings if it came from a scrap-yard, mind you. I would never buy anything that hokey.

Beautiful boxes, those are quite old school, great score! Unless it’s a “go bag” or tool backpack though, tool boxes are where tools go to die... (Not including in shop cabinets.)

That’s exactly why I prefer wall boards for wrenches, magnetic strips for other hand tools and French cleats for cordless and corded power hand tools... Always visible for use AND accountability.

i know this is a late comment but i just wanted to say i love these videos, such a great use of materials. it's amazing how much useful stuff gets thrown away

Great video! And I fully agree on your wise words in the intro. We should all learn what we can to repair and reuse the wonderful machines we have build. Inspired by you, I instead of replacing my cheap Chinese powerdrill with another cheap one, got an old German one for 50kr or 6-7€. I got to work (I have only cery basic electronic skills) and it would benefit from a full makeover, it outperforms the cheap Chinese one.

Keep up the good work with these videos, very inspiring to repurpose rather than discard and buy new.
