My grandfather had a two bay shop where he worked on peoples cars and tractors in East Texas. As a kid, I use to go visit him and grandma every Summer and tag along behind him soaking up the knowledge. In the lower twenty acres he had approximately 150 old cars and trucks and just about anything else you could think of. He called it the " Bone Yard " . He had two 40 foot containers shelved out just full of different parts that only he knew was there. Sadly he got sick from Cancer and had to retire and sell his shop to pay the medical bills. He died in 1999 and I still have the majority of his hand tools. They're like Treasure to me. The Fab Rat's I know he would have loved the show just as much as I do. Thanks to all of you for keeping it Real.

I'm from Canada.. we lived near the border at maine and would often go over there to shop, as its cheaper.. we went to McDonalds and my young brother (would have been like 4 at the time) ordered the hot dog happy meal... when he saw the hot dog, he cried and said "thats not a hot dog, this is supposed to be a happy meal, I'm not happy at all"

[@davidrice5016]

Old machinist advice; if you have to use a file on a lathe you want to be using it on the side of the part spinning away from you. If the file grabs it'll pull it out of your hands and safely into the machine. If you have the file on top where the part is spinning towards you it can send that file right through your guts. Open bed engine lathes are the most dangerous tool in most of the machine shops I've been in.

[@SK8VE]

The reason New England hot dog buns have no crust sides is so you can butter them and then put them on the griddle to toast. Done right, the outside of the bun is toasty and the inside is soft and warm. Everyone has their way of cooking a dog but one of the New England ways is to boil water, remove from heat, add hot dogs (for like 10 minutes). Then you put them in a bun, wrap the bun in tin foil (aluminum wrap) for about 15 minutes. Bun and dog fuse into a unique taste. Ben got it right about putting your beans on the brown bread.

[@stantilton2191]

Red hot dogs are a staple here in Maine. Most general stores have them in steamer boxes and offer them all day for snacks. Hotdogs, Moxie and brownie whoopie pie. Enjoy everyone!

[@Janer-52]

I so appreciate the easy humor! Watching the builds restores my faith in craftsmanship. Good job, guys.

[@seanworkman431]

I was really enjoying that episode but then at the end we got just a little bit of bragging for the work on Ben's jeep and they should be proud, both craftsmen and all round good dudes.

[@oritrond]

Ya, those red hot dogs are pretty good. Looks like you had the trusty "Hannaford" frankfurter rolls as well. Great combination. Usually when I eat them, I just put the mustard, relish and ketchup to them. Never tried putting the beans on top of the reds before though. To me, Moxie tastes HORRIBLE! lol. Whoopie pies are great.

Being raised an only child in the 60's, I still long to have a brother like Ben. It sucks to see other people taking each other for granted when there are those on the outside looking in that would give half of the rest of their lives just to get to experience what you have for a little while...

[@Sanderly1820]

I'm an only child, but mum and I were on the verge of passing away has my birth went downhill rapidly, so dad said no more even though they both wanted 2 children Mum got pregnant when she was 41, both and myself were really excited, but she couldn't keep it when they found out the baby would be extremely disabled, it really effected them. God's way of saying no I spose

[@rossmeldrum3346]

I'm 68 and I think the key words are "like Ben". I have two older brothers and I hardly ever see them. Growing up they wanted nothing to do with their little brother. Now one just lives ten miles away and I have not seen him in 8 years. Having brothers is not all its cracked up to be at times, depending on the person.

[@MS-ht9it]

I'm an only child and words of wisdom that I follow: you don't need anyone and nobody needs you! 🙂 So don't long or want things that will never come to pass, because that will only lead to loneness and sadness. Be kind to everyone and be grateful for what you have and what you've experienced.

It's funny, originally produced in Lowell Mass, Moxie was sold as medicine called "Moxie Nerve Food".

Nice job.

Mmmm- toasted brown bread with melted budda! Locally made red "snapper" hotdogs who's innards expand when they're boiled but the casings don't so they snap when you bite into them. A moon pie with a pepsi. A delight to the taste buds. Never had moxie as the people who drink it can't even descibe its taste other than "like cream soda, but different".

[@neilfromclearwaterfl81]

Carbonated Gentian Root Nerve Tonic claimed to help resolve brain issues and insomnia. Granma might end up ordering a few cases for the boys for the first benefit... In the welding shop you do well to have a large bottle of Gentian Violet Aqueous Solution for burns. You put it on fast enough and you'll get instant relief and may not even get the slightest blister or any scars. You know its working from the Violet Stain with a Green Tinge to it that it will leave behind. It can rub off so you can end up with and interesting pattern on your face from it if you rub your eyes, etc. It can take weeks afterwards for it to wash off. Tip: Don't get the Alcohol Solution Gentian Violet for burns or you might be singing soprano when you apply it. ;> Grew up on Moxie, Kist along with a bunch of regional New England brands of Tonic Water. Now I want some Red Dogs, Kraut, Beans and Brown Bread along with a Moxie to wash it all down. Best!

Are they originally T8 or T12 fixtures? If T12, theyll be 4 wires between the two tombstones on each end, just wirenut all of them to your hot or neutral, and same on the other end,one or the other.
