I would even watch Al and Woody do a cooking show. Thumbs up if you want a skid factory Xmas special

[@ddgarage7025]

Al spit roaster build! 2JZ powered

[@thegingerpowerranger]

@@ddgarage7025 7m-gze powered spit roaster. Hence why they needed to find TDC on it

[@samsonian]

Not sure I’d eat anything they made but I’d watch it! I’d be watching with rapt attention to see what kind of goofy shortcut/repurposing of stuff no normal chef would do.

[@darryl3392]

The Aussie BBQ Christmas with Al & Woody

[@thegingerpowerranger]

I reckon these two could knock up a bbq using only leftover engine parts including a turbo Bonus points for making a turbo jet as the heat source

[@smevox7490]

It would be really cool to have a MCM/SkidFactory/Tuning Fork collab that explains their history and how they all came to be.

[@tomahoks]

Marty came up with Turbo Yoda back in the day, when they lived in the same neighborhood with car stuff.

[@hotwire96]

I'm not sure how Tuning Fork met Marty but I think Marty and Al met through the RS Liberty Club forums, as Al lives in Queensland and Marty is from Sydney I don't think they've ever lived close to each other

[@tmmtmm]

Pretty sure we attribute this down to blown up subarus in some capacity

[@rileshardwood8971]

Marty and moog worked at a school together as music teachers

[@sireuchre]

How they all came to be? Well, when a man really loves a woman...

[@Wilbure]

I'd watch a review show hosted by Al - "It's a good bit of gear, you should get one". Also liked the sneaky mango amid the squash.

[@tomwhitington8737]

That one xxxx gold amongst the lemon squash.

[@paulyjohn7539]

always knew "lemon squash" was 4x.. when they first did that skit, you can tell by the cracking sound of the can that it was a beer

[@coolhandluke1503]

@@paulyjohn7539 I'm sure the skidfactory logo is a knock off of the Castlemaine brewery

[@wobblysauce]

that and the change from yellow to gold when in the holder.

gotta love Al

Tip for your lenses: Use cheap UV filters as lens protectors. Way cheaper to replace a filter than a whole lens.

@Mach1048 you catch sparks at weddings?

[@Moraren]

@@C2H5OHist Wait, doesn't everyone celebrate weddings with anglegrinders??

[@jamessweeten6926]

I'm currently using my dads tool box that I inherited when he passed... it's a 70s Craftsman bottom roller and an unknown top box that he's had since before I was born. Every time I look at it I'm reminded of all the projects we did when I was growing up and now I get to do the same with my boys

[@pauljohnson7382]

Ya listening Milwaukee? How could you pass up having Turbo Yoda as your spokesman? Borrow Cheryl and make some parts of the month calendars! Find them on MCM website now! 👌

[@BrandMalone24]

*Oof*

[@sireuchre]

Well, uh, see - this may be a special show of its own, but this channel is still MCMTV2, and one of MCM's sponsors is Ryobi. That's a direct competitor to Milwaukee. If TSF got its own discreet channel, they might be able to get it done.

[@pauljohnson7382]

Completely understand the dilemma, however, go to 6:10. Hear it from the man himself!

[@jaredanthony8070]

@@sireuchre who owns both ryobi and Milwaukee? Pretty sure it's the same company (black and decker is it?)

[@aussiebloke609]

Ryobi is a brand of Techtronic Industries, along with Milwaukee, AEG (AEG Powertools, licensed from Electrolux), Ryobi, Homelite, Hoover US, Oreck, Dirt Devil, and Vax. As far as I can tell, Black & Decker is still owned by/merged with Stanley Tools.

That Finnegan Speed and Marine shirt! Finnegan would be proud

[@colestowing8695]

ahhh, I thought that looked familiar! nice catch

[@Sharklops]

love the ending!

[@Puffalupagus360]

We want more video on the dirt squirter!

[@burnsbuilt2153]

Loved the end. 2 stroke for life

[@mr33spitnbarz28]

Awesome as usual guys... it doesn't matter what your videos are about, they are all very watchable, and never find myself getting bored... thank-you for great, useful, funny, interesting, content... peace.

[@brendanscott2564]

Pair of legends

[@danielodling1386]

someone sponsored these guys for tools and stuff already they deserve it 100%

[@Djrmc868Blogspot]

Love the tour of the shop all the way from Trinidad & Tobago.

[@diesel92kj1]

The best thing is how Alan is not a tool snob. Look at how much more he has because of it.

[@sscottphillips1973]

Reppin the finnegan speed and marine shirt

[@mbsnyderc]

He most likely gave it to him.

[@888johnmac]

yeah, spotted that

[@if66was99]

I knew I recognized that and couldn't remember where!

[@JDR1971]

Perfect timing. Was just binge (re)watching the Stagea build, before Woody was famous.

[@brandonb8543]

Who??

[@BubbaGTi]

Funnily enough I just rewatched them all yesterday too. What a car

[@64Pete]

When I first spotted that RM-X a while back I said to myself... "This Al bloke knows what he's doing." 2 strokes for life.

[@234er]

Man this Lifestyle is amazing.

[@andymcdo]

I love how simple his setup really is and there's nothing fancy about the tools they use. Shows that you don't need the best of everything. Like Al said, the best tool you have is your brain.

[@AndyRock1]

This was amazing. Al's commentary when he was filming had me in stitches. Love this.

[@SmithJolyon]

Imperial deep sockets are a godsend! Always handy on a mini

[@ole661]

"The only tool that matters is you brain." Turbo Yoda. Best quote of the show, series, period!

[@jakej7493]

I love this show because it's in Australia, I always find myself watching American car builds and it makes it hard to relate to the videos. I also like how Al doesn't buy the best gear, he gets what works.

[@newkindofviking6701]

I tend to like Australian shows more, in generel.. I'm from Scandinavia, so a lot same mentality. I'm growing tired of the "I'm always selling brands" mentality Americans have. About, THIS is the best, because!.... And so on. Here, the best is - again - brain, experience, and what you, yourself get out of it.. I really relate, and like Al's way of going on about stuff. Huge respect!

[@HMSITH]

Love the lemon squash stash great video guys love it

[@Ok2race]

Skid Factory and all bikes episode. That would be interesting to see!

[@Camhin1]

Can we get miles as a special guest?

[@Monsieur405]

I wonder if there is bad blood there

[@derrickquintal]

Who could have bad blood with either fellow? They're just great dudes.

[@ZVONIMIR172]

or old cock

[@LimitR]

In an earlier episode Al mentions that they asked if Old Cock wanted to be on the show but he turned them down. As for Miles I have NFI.

[@Worelock1966]

Great episode guys

Been waiting for this video for a long time. Love Al’s work ethic. Great to hear about his history and his setup.

Haha, love the mystery lemon squash hidden in plain sight!

[@bplail]

I'd like to see an LS go into a Subaru. Like a blob eye or something of a similar chassis. More of a how to style. Basically what you're doing already but some more details for those less in the know! Keep up the awesome work! Favourite KZbin show at the moment 🇦🇺

I gotta say I bought the Milwaukee 12m 1/4' and 3/8" drivers after seeing these guys using them (a months ago).

[@Luminaring]

2 stroke power band is exiting. 4strokes is cool too..rev to the end and shift!

[@wobblysauce]

Could change the spring.. but where is the fun in that.

[@MrKormend]

Love watching you guys from Canada, just left wife's Xmas party, she's sawing logs peacefully....keep on doing what you do Best!

[@aserta]

You can turn that saw in an upright, i had a very similar one and i modified the joint (which was crappy anyways) and built a small table that slid over the cutting table, holding the saw upright and at 90 degrees. It's incredibly simple to modify.

[@mickmiddle3331]

Really well done boys. Thanks.

[@paddymuppy]

Thanks for exposing your tools to us. They're lovely.

More enduro/ bike stuff!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@jamesweinel8471]

loving the one lone XXXX Gold can in the "special spot"!

[@aaronwells5080]

So many people are afraid of doing electrical work on their cars, would you guys consider doing a "special" on wiring? Proper cable sizing, crimping and joining the right way, fuses & relays, plug types and some basic stuff like that? Keep up the great work guys.. now go have a lemon squash ;)

[@tom_647]

Sick bike al, you guys should do some vids modding/making bikes dirt, road, anything. Also with cars it’d be awesome if you did some 4x4 stuff as well. Keep up the good work, loving the skid factory!

[@ToreDL87]

He did with the Patrol I believe.

[@BorisFett]

Great tour. You make some great points about tool and which ones to spend more money on.

Thank you lads. Lately I'd been looking for that 'thing' that made me proud to be an Aussie. You guy just made a video that nailed it! 😊

[@PlugUgly72]

When Milwaukee finally sponsors you, get a Portaband saw and a SWAG Offroad table for it. You'll be in love. I want one of your Dawn offset vises, apparently they don't export. :(

The Milwaukee power ratchet is one of the best things for any level of mechanic. If it can't break the bolt, use a regular one and then swap. It saves so much time and pain.

[@RacerRickxx]

Love the tool boxes. I still have my tool box from when I started as a tire and lube guy at 16. Being in North America, I have two boxes. One is imperial tools, and one is Metric.

[@65Coasty]

Our sheds are similar. Most of my gear is split between work (Toyota at Currimundi) and home. Your so right about moisture rusting everything.

[@Hanky_Bannist8r]

If Milwaukee doesn't get onboard someone there isn't doing thier job. Who wouldn't want Turbo Yoda and a bloke called Woody on thier team ?

[@RandomPerson-sb5mw]

Sweet Bike Yoda!

[@EMcL88]

Recently bought the same belt sander that Al uses for flanges, although I fitted a bigger pulley on the motor. More belt speed = good times.

[@adriankaren351]
