All Kinds Of Shop Upgrades!! - Band Saw Is Working and New Acorn Table

Matt and Mike were supposed to be at the Grand National Roadster Show, but Matt purchased tickets for the wrong weekend!! Since we have an extra day in the shop to work, we are going to work on some things around the shop. Mike is going to wire up the new band saw with a VFD to run the 3 phase motor with single phase, Steve is working on Dad's daily, and Matt is working on headers for the Ardun 33 3W. After all of that is done, the crew works together to get the vintage Walker lift back up and running after some new wire rope. A few days passed and a new tool showed up after it was saved from being scrapped, an acorn table! Matt's been after one for a few years and we finally have one. Once Mike's 34 is off of the frame table we will be creating a fabrication/metal shaping area in the back corner.

I like watching you guys you are like a super group. Mike is the electriciain, takes care of orgainizeation in the warehouse, Steve knows everything old Fard, Matt is the super fabricator. You all have old car experience. ITG is a great show with great people with great skill sets.

[@IronTrapGarage]

Thanks for watching!

[@MrStacy1974]

Dad's daily sounds mean !

[@thomasst.martin3308]

Your horseshoe is mounted wrong! The open end needs to point up. Otherwise all of the luck runs out.

[@mopar4656]

Love those mid 50s Studebaker hubcaps on your Dad's coupe. Just like the Fred Steele 32 roadster; my all time favourite Deuce.

[@steveclark4291]

Matt , Mike and Steve you guys did a great job showing a everyday life at the Iron Trap Garage ! Thank you guys for sharing it with me !

[@chuckb9867]

Moon is definitely the best I love the fact that you guys saved that old car lift really cool

[@_Peremalfait]

I like these "day in the life" vids. Kind of gives an idea what it would be like to work at Iron Trap. I enjoy the banter. A sense of humor goes a long way to getting through a day of work. You guys seem to keep each other laughing.

[@IronTrapGarage]

We try and keep it fun!

[@Ecosse57]

nice time to be alive when you play russian roulette with chinese eletronics. i like the skulls on steve's cast... really enjoy these "day in the life of" videos too. hey moon!

[@danmclean3384]

Matt...just a suggestion for wood splitting from Alberta, Canada. If you were to place an un-split chunk of log on your concrete floor - you could use that to split on. If your axe doesn't go all the way through on the first strike...you could keep the wood attached to the axe - and turn the whole thing upside down and strike the axe on the opposite side of the splitting edge against the chunk of log on your concrete floor. This action creates a gravity force which usually splits those problem chunks - if they are not full of knots. Cheers!

[@johnkranz4004]

Very KOOL Table and All

[@LAsmogfree]

as usual good things don't just happen over night , small bites and then we see a completed safe project, well done!

[@jonflanagin6682]

Most acorn tables started out in Navel ship yards for bending steel plate.

[@davidvansickle563]

Great video to watch, sorry you missed out on grand national. 👍

[@wolfgangricky]

Isn't it a kick in the pants when you find that , everything you thought you did right & was proud of yourself, was wrong. Welcome to the human race. Ty for taking us along

[@terryeustice5399]

You guys Matt are so awesome building these Hot Rods.John got the band saw hooked up . The Lift is something used a lot. And must be safe. The Acorn table is great!

[@steveclark4291]

Dad will love getting out an driving his Hot Rod come spring !

[@donhoughton271]

Good video for what going on

[@motorfreaknew]

Nice upgrades guys! 👍👍

[@murdoc6501]

This made my Friday. Go Iron Trap, keep doing what you're doing and taking us along or the ride! Keep moving forward! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@frankjones4094]

Nice to see another bit of local industrial history make it to Iron Trap. Brings more collective zen to the atmosphere of the shop.

[@cliffordmarkell40]

Can't remember we used to make single phase to three phase with shed light fixtures

[@terryhodgson8798]

Matt get a stump to split wood save your back!

[@donames6941]

You open up the eye in the blue eye bolt, now its not rated as much should of made a coller for the cable clevis

[@fredkaminski3668]

Need to use your hydraulic press to split the wood for the stove!

[@rivercowboy]

I use an air chisel to make kindling or small stuff for the smoker.

[@chrisclark4813]

Matt, Mike, Steve, Weirdly different but still really great stuff. Great video. (Why did I ever doubt you guys). Love from Reading, England.

[@mrnobody6573]

You still have to bolt the lift to the floor.

[@balancingstarsncards]

Oh I hope you guys feel better soon… 🥣lots of soups and water! pac man … 🤭classic, nice upgrades guys 👌🏻

[@Channel-pi1bd]

"Why does it sound like Pac man taking a shit?" LOL!

[@michaelmcneese4072]

Hey Mike, Suspenders work great.

[@shotsrodder]

Keeping busy 😂😂

[@terryhodgson8798]

Mike's car looks like it's smiling!

[@donnieconatser1232]

Good mornin ITG..Have a great day

[@michaelguinn5736]

Morning Matt, Mike & Steve!! Matt, your DoAll band saw should have a hand crank speed adjustment, ours does, nice layout/fixture table, we call them Bed Plates where I work.....Y'all get better!! Be safe!! God Bless!!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Yes it does. We have it adjusted to the max speed we want and then we can use the VFD to adjust it on the fly a little easier

[@SpankysHotRodsandCustoms]

Good to see Mike back on the episode. Don’t keep him looked up so long. -Spanky

[@michaelgillespie1206]

OK, I'll sleep right on it, maybe buy some parts while I'm there.

[@cliffordmarkell40]

We made three phase into single phase with fluorescent light fixtures

[@seangavin8140]

Speaking of fixed to the ground, when y’all getting the blue lift bolted down?

[@IronTrapGarage]

Soon

[@paullabourne4803]

You could use the hydraulic press to split logs!

[@batterymakermarkii2654]

Baaaad Matt....Baaad, baaaad Matt....

[@andymasters7029]

Just noticed. You guys got that old lift anchored to the floor?? Be careful guys..

[@chuckster6513]

Hey Guys, This is a good video and you all deserve the "At A Boys" the viewers are giving, but I am gonna pour cold water on the glowing reviews. I have notice over the years and countless KZbin videos I have watched that a majority of people, including Matt say something I do not understand. Many people refer to their concrete floor as the "Ground" ! What's up with that ? It's concrete, not dirt ! The Ground equals Dirt. OK, that's my bit of grit tossed into the mix. Work Safe, Be Well Stay Warm

[@IronTrapGarage]

We’ll leave the semantics up to you

[@MF-rn5os]

Looks like moon has claimed the iron trap budget air b&b

[@gordonstroup882]

I was wondering if you guys ever got around to putting in the new fuzzy window tracks in Dad's hot rod? I remember the last time that you drove it around, the windows were rattling around and you guys even mentioned it.

[@usmclee65]

Matt do you use the tig for most of your chassis welding or do you use Mig on the thicker material ?

[@IronTrapGarage]

TIG for most automotive work

[@donames6941]

I see you have a blade repair welder on the saw you may want to run full power went you weld blades up so i would use the hand crank speed so not to hurt the motor with your add on inverter

[@pinwizz69]

You guys hane awesome channel and a really awesome job. Not everyone has a job that's basically a hobby for pretty much everyone else whose into it but you get to have a blsst doing it. Pretty much like me being a professional Arcade and pinball games, jukeboxes, pool tables and other amusement vending equipment mechanic/electronics tech. I to got paid very good wages mostly as a route service manager and my own side business doing home sales and repair business as arranged with the owners of every route I managed. They couldn't pay me enough not to allow it and didn't want the extra hassle anyways. On their equipment I'd sell I'd only get a commision. Bottom line is, I think it's pretty much impossible for Trap episodes to be to long at one hour plus if it's one of projects that really get us subs glued to our screens beginning to the end. We can always hit paise, get some munchies and drinks, hit the pisser and clic on play. Now for me this one is helping me stay sane in a hospital bed recovering from covid related pneumonia in my left lung. Hopefully I go home today or tomorrow depending on Doc's decision. Can't wait to see what's in the next episode. What will it be and what 3 Stooges highjinks Matt, Mike and Steve will get up to. Of course it's always awesome to see an apperance by MoonDude. Once again, thanks from this old Coast Guard Aviation Veteran. Ckear skys, Smooth runnin' guys.

[@haasfogle8425]

so when i rent the airbnb for irontrap can i rent an old car to tour around in too? i have never visited PA.!

[@IronTrapGarage]

Haha for the right price!

[@Dave_Boyer]

Booking any tickets, that’s my greatest fear, usually I’m worried that I picked the right year. Oh well, not much you can really do.

[@BrunoWiebelt]

MOON

[@buza1300]

😎💙👍

[@BlackheartCharlie]

Why is it called an "acorn" table? Is it a brand name?

[@IronTrapGarage]

Correct

[@raylarkin5004]

Another imtersting day at Iron trap garage.👍🏼
