At the 7:58 Mark in video, you tossed a Magnalite pot in the scrap, check EBay next time, those heavy aluminum pots are collectable in estate sales, the sets include the basic pot set up but they sell individual pots bigger for stew or hens, I've fried catfish in mine, but if you see them in an estate sale they won't be there long, I still have and cook with the set my grandmother gave me. Estatesales.net is what I use here in Memphis. Great videos you have.

Wow, Mike, you really know how to stack it up. I thought for sure that you were going to get the head and foot boards. Oh well maybe next time. Have you ever thought about putting some of the smaller scrap inside of the refrigerator or freezer? It'd give you some more room. Food for thought.

Mike a lot of tables are made with Portugal board and they have a Veneer Wood finish on top. The only way to tell if it is real Oak is if you take out one of the screws you look in the hole you'll be able to tell if it's particle board also. Now I believe the pedestal part may be solid wood. Nice fine though I like it

Dude. 10min mark exactly. The neighborhood probably doesn’t know he’s talking to his KZbin watchers. Indeed he does make comments to the physical refrigerator. I do that myself at home. However, we are apart of a group discussion between our buddy Mike and the heavy ass refrigerator. The homeowner I imagine see him ONLY conversing with the fridge. Not to mention he throws a Karate combo towards the fridge. I found that amusing. Again. Scroll to the 10 min mark and enjoy 😊
