The wick “haircut” complete with mirror for the “view of the back” followed by the “sweeping of the hair on the floor” had me LOLing hard.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Glad you enjoyed that. Sorry about the other 30 minutes. Definitely should have broken this video up some.

[@dontridethatruss]

@@KeithsTestGarage No worries, watched a bunch of your other vids too. You're way of presenting is really appealling. Got me hooked. Smashed that sub button.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

@@dontridethatruss Ahhhh I was wondering what happened to it.

[@samuelscorso4820]

immensely detailed, dangerously distractible, and scary smart. Love it. Subbed.

[@clementdel2776]

Over complicated dust collection system test? I Love it! 😍 Clearly an underrated chanel!!!

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Yeah I lost a few subscribers on this video. It’s hard to compete with Marie Kondo.

[@markregan6772]

Loved the Mark Rober reference. 😆😮

[@matthewhoheisel4840]

Dude. You should have WAY more subscribers

[@weberwoodshop]

You pre-heat your microwave?! Lol awesome video!!! Loved all the Easter eggs ;)

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Glad you found some...

I work in automotive repair and we use a smoke machine for finding leaks in various systems. The machine has a 12V heating element that vaporizes mineral oil. I wonder if mineral oil would work in your homemade device?

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Interesting. That makes ..I'll have to give it a try next time I have the stuff out. Thanks for the comment. Does your usage rely on doors being open, good ventilation, etc? I'd guess it's better than the jet fuel / kerosene.

[@johnhanson974]

@@KeithsTestGarage We try not to inhale the smoke but we don't wear respirators or anything like that.

[@davesatosky5840]

recently found your channel, good content, thank you subbed

[@felixdietzCGN]

watched it all (like the rest of your vids), i really like your approach to projects and the humor, you definitely got a this-old-tony-thing going on there but with your own, unique style 👍💪🚀 awesome! one thing I'd love to see tested is the allegedly needed grounding of pvc pipes due to static charge buildup - really an issue or not?

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Yeah I'm interested in the grounding of PVC pipes too but so far haven't thought of a good way to test that. Thinking....

[@firearmsstudent]

A note of safety: Don't drop jet fuel into water, it will float on top of water, splashing fire as it goes down. It will stay lit. Maybe dry ice? (At least for localized smoke) That way you don't need to worry about stuff catching fire.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Yikes. That would be something interesting that I'd prefer not happen. Thanks for the insight. I'll add it to the pinned comment so it stays in view.

[@alroback5328]

Baking soda works well to kill oil fires. I'm assuming kerosene would react the same way... or napalm?

[@KeithsTestGarage]

I’d think kerosene would act similar since it’s something like 97%+ of the make up of jet fuel. (I waited to give my opinion in case the original commenter knows). I’m not sure about napalm...

[@firearmsstudent]

@@KeithsTestGarage Kerosene will. As long as it is an oil that floats, that will happen.

Tips, questions, comments - post them below! Notable updates: * "May the Schwarz be with you" had a good safety clarification recommending to *not* throw jet fuel into a bucket of water: "A note of safety: Don't drop jet fuel into water, it will float on top of water, splashing fire as it goes down.

$3.81/gal for JetA!! What airport is that?

[@KeithsTestGarage]

small town Missouri!

[@benbolin378]

Where in Missouri are you?

[@KeithsTestGarage]

North of Springfield. If we need to get more granular than that, maybe send a message through my website.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

And not to be a creep or anything...but, I just Facebook stalked a Ben Bolin in MO who I have a thing or two in common with. Particularly, FPU coordinator. If that’s you, cool! If not, never mind then.

[@benbolin378]

Keith's Test Garage nope, that’s not me, though I am a Dave Ramsey-ite, if that’s what FPU means for you. Anyway, I was curious because you mentioned Missouri and I noticed you had a lot of Grizzly equipment. Figured you were probably close to Springfield.

[@KeithsTestGarage]

Ah. Yes to Dave as well as the Grizzly tent sale wins.

[@MaintDocs]

I would have liked to see the questioned result: is it good enough to be worth it for your woodshop - despite all the nay-sayers?

[@grumblycurmudgeon]

Okay, so, FWIW: 16:46 is the HOW TO portion of this. BUT... I DO urge visitors to watch the whole video, if for no other reason than it's hugely entertaining and witty. But the Green screen is a bit of a nuisance to hunt down, so here you go. But seriously: take 5 to stop and smell the roses on this one.

[@Canesniffer]

Don’t worry it is awkward to ask for subscribers.

[@Canesniffer]

You have mine though. Ha

[@KeithsTestGarage]

You are very detail oriented.
