[@HODGEPODGEDODGEGARAGE]

Awesome job Wendell 😁👍 I like how you used the vintage rollers and gave them a new purpose 🔧

[@tractorman4461]

Yessir...over a hundred years old and ready to do another hundred !!

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

My word Mr Wendell, you are a true craftsman!! Those turned out absolutely amazing!!! I have to admit, I have found many uses over the years for those pipe clamps, but never anything that creative!! I can't wait to see the next step and the track!! Thank you sir for bringing us along!! 😁😁👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@tractorman4461]

Well Nelson, there's potential in everything. We just have to look at things differently to see it. LOL. Thank you for always the supportive comment my friend.

[@Pennies_on_the_dollar]

@@tractorman4461 😁😁👍👍

[@loodusefilm7881]

Nice to see that there are still people left that care about decorative parts of barn doors. For sure they will look really nice. Great job!

[@tractorman4461]

Thank you, that's very kind. I think of you every time Estonia is in the news. Hopefully you remain safe and secure over there.

[@ricksmith-iw2op]

Nice job Wendell. Using what you have to get the job done. I like it.

[@tractorman4461]

Yessir. No reason to buy new when there's some stuff to make 'em out of. What else is an old wore out retiree gonna do with his time any way....(-;

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

They turned out great 👍

[@tractorman4461]

Thank you...sometimes a fella gets a bit lucky I guess.

[@akquilter3519]

My goodness, I actually understood everything you were doing! Beautiful work , sir

[@tractorman4461]

Well good deal !! Thankfully this one wasn't too involved. The next portion of the project is a little more challenging though. Thanks for watching once again.

[@greghomestead8366]

Like you, I also like doing projects with " stuff" I have laying around. Enjoyed the video. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

[@tractorman4461]

If you're like me, then you have a LOT of 'stuff' laying around. (-; Its not a bad thing though. Enjoy the beautiful Spring-like day !!

[@tonyjones9715]

Another great video and a great job it's going to look and work great. thanks

[@tractorman4461]

Thanks Tony for the kind words. Hopefully the Missus likes the end result too.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Nicely done Wendell!

[@tractorman4461]

Thanks Matt. Just a small project for the Missus. She's not seen 'em yet.

[@tomfillmore9710]

Good job buddy very nice work but wouldn’t expect anything else from Tractorman you have a great week and I will be watching for the next video

[@tractorman4461]

Good Morning Tom. Thanks for the kind thoughts. The next one will be totally different once again. LOL Too many projects...too little time.

[@gatorsworld]

Thats well done and saved a bit of money. That hardware is getting real expensive. I did a door at the camp a few years ago and it cost some good coin. It pays to save up a lot of stuff....CHEERS

[@tractorman4461]

Yessir...anything to save a few bucks this day and time Gator. The best thing is the parts ain't worth nothing until something is made with 'em.

[@arkansas1336]

Looks good, a fun project!

[@tractorman4461]

Yes, I enjoy quick projects like this one. Makes ya think a little more than normal. (-;

[@treepop1550]

Excellent work !! Your skills are in direct competitionwith your creativity, determination, and resourcefulness !!! For Wendell 's next project he will make the missus an electric bicycle using only a hammer,anvil, and a chunk of raw iron ore !!! Lol ! Have a great day!!

[@tractorman4461]

Hahahaha....now I wouldn't want ya exaggerating my humble abilities ya know....(-: But thank you for the smile my friend !! I appreciate it.

[@royreynolds108]

Good looking project. The way I understand it, to machine that UHMW, use very sharp tools to get the best results. It looks like you do OK.

[@tractorman4461]

It trims up pretty good but I like to 'fine tune' it a file though. I just ground a HHS cutter to a 60* and ran with it. It works really good for drawer slides.

[@chestypuller9614]

That’s a nice bender, where u get it?

[@tractorman4461]

I got that one at Northern Tool at least 20 years ago. I don't know if they have the same one anymore at all. I have it anchored to the concrete. When not in use I just remove the bolts and push it to the corner. The flush anchors stay in the floor.

[@richardjacques6370]

Is there anything your not good at. Sorry I should be asking the Misses. Great work. Your amazing

[@tractorman4461]

Hahahahaha....I ain't too good at keeping the Missus happy...LOL. Actually that's not entirely true. She's pretty easy to make smile.

[@Wheelloader__]

Dag nab it tractor man. There you go again. Making something out of nothing. Really cool.

[@tractorman4461]

I kinda enjoy ....what's the new term.... 'repurposing'....?? Actually I'm a bit of a cheapskate so anything to save a buck or two is fair game. (-;
