I've watched most all of your videos and am often intrigued by your "on the fly" designs and methods. At 75 years old and being a field mechanic for 60 years of that, I sometimes watch you dive down that rabbit hole and think UH-OH!!...but a couple of minutes or shows later...out you come with a fried up rabbit and all the fixin's. I not only love watching you be successful, but I learn some new tricks for this old dog. I have worked in both oilfields and gas fields here in Alaska so I mostly understand the what and why in the things you do. Isn't it kool what we as Americans can accomplish if we just take the word "can't" out of our vocabulary? And I'm with you on chinee parts, but sometimes it's hard to eat steak when you are paying for it with a baloney billfold. Keep on keepin' on!!!

[@Rusty_ok]

Man this guy can do almost anything. And it looks like he does this all day every day.

[@Greggers123]

I thoroughly enjoy watching how you process things and how you create and build things. It’s pretty darn awesome. Hopefully you might make a cover to protect your command center from the elements.

[@kevinkoepke8311]

I thoroughly enjoy watching a humble genius creat. Watching you reminds me of when I was young. Don't stop what you do and you'll be young long. Thanks, Zach!

[@Bob-mm9sm]

Tuber here….. absolutely enjoy every video you make. Thanks for taking us along with you to work. Kinda like “Take a Tuber to work” day. 😅

[@Farmerscott]

so much fun to see an old iron made to work once more

[@assassinlexx1993]

Zack put a railing around the station and a umbrella stand or a fold out weather steel/ tarp. Oh pull out all the gages put sealant on them. This rig is coming along right smartly.👍🏻💯

[@jamiemudry]

"work twice as hard and wrestle this up there" I like to call this the BFI method, aka Brute-Force and Ignorance.

[@DMSparky]

You have a real engineers brain. Not the modern kind who can only do differential equations, but don’t understand how machines actually go together. You have the old school, 60’s, grew up on a farm engineer brain. This sort of creative work is my absolute favourite. Too bad building things, even when you do it yourself, is so darn expensive! If you ever get tired of the nuts under the console you can always throw in Rivnuts instead. Good for you for keeping the momentum going on all your projects. Too bad I live in Canada, if I lived local it’d be fun to lend a hand. I think you and I have a very similar mindset.

[@richardlincoln8438]

I enjoy Your engineering and fabrication Zach. Your work over rig is a very interesting project. Thank You for sharing Your time and effort. Best Wishes to You and Your Family.

[@chuckh.2227]

Very well thought out layout and excellent craftsmanship! Let's drill some holes!

[@RobsWorldWV]

Turning into a sweet rig, saved a boat load of money and better than most 2nd hand rigs floating around out there. Nice

[@johndowe7003]

Definitely add a dog house for the motor. Itll quiet it down a bunch. Definitely better for the crew. Id also do a remote mount oil filter if you plan on running a lotta hours.

[@TheDrewCharles]

Please enjoy this happy congratulatory comment to tickle your algorithm. I enjoy your episodes very much and I want you to keep making them keep them coming baby you're doing great I love your show.

Not gonna lie Zach. Your videos are awesome. No job too big for you.

What a fantastic project. What a great show.

[@chrisingle5839]

The gopro spinning on that casing was pretty neato! Well done!

[@geoffreykail9129]

that is a well thought out and very serviceable control station. WELL DONE!

[@robertbullcarmichael9856]

Zach you forgot one thing that goes on the right side of the console. A cup holder. Great looking work right there.

[@chrislindquist2003]

Quite a project Zach. Coming along very nicely. I like the way you think things out before you build them. I am much the same way.

[@jorgeholland8329]

What a amazing and creative mind you have Zack.

[@Jdigger4130]

Fan named Justin watching ya in FACT doin Zach thangs! pure talent and just wow. find it hard to imagine you cant find a solution to ANYTHING! cheers from Santa Cruz ca

[@wellscody86]

Those 2 steel 90s are about the most expensive exhaust 90s Iv ever seen😂. At least they’re load bearing 👌🏻

[@TheZachLife]

Truthfully I bet they were cheaper the the actual exhaust ones.

[@wellscody86]

@@TheZachLife. Why put lipstick on a pig when you can tailor that ole hog a whole suit. Excellent work on that console

[@DanielSilva-jj2lz]

@@wellscody86 We are actually living in strange times. They said that over time productivity would increase and things would become cheaper, but what I have noticed is that building a suit to put on a pig has become cheaper for many things in recent times.

I used to power wash these things back in high school.....good times, 5$ an hour

Coming up nice. Can't wait to see the next one

[@advancednutritioninc908]

Excellent Video!! Beautiful / Functional Work!! I am no expert on oil rigs but from a control panel stand point seems very functional and practical! Thanks for showing us your design and work!

It's the great pumpkin, Charlie Brown!

[@Blazefork]

Duel the sequel love the pipe! Console looks nice.

[@TheDrewCharles]

Keep these episodes coming I love them 😅

[@Brad.whatthe]

You could fab up an exhaust flapper out of a hub cap it’s that big or cut a hole and weld a valve on the lowest point to drain the water

[@Lucky4wd4840]

Zach, Can't wait till you trip some Pipe!

[@morgansword]

Wow, just minutes for us and a month of sundays for you. I enjoy you showing and talking but if ya feel uncomfortable to talk to a imaginary person/microphone then its so be it. To have that much hanging in your head at night would boil beans without the stove. Keep em coming Zach

[@nodaky4659]

Looks like he’s going to be drilling some shallow wells.

[@ahmeds7345]

Beautiful setup, never imagined that you could put so much controls for a small rig, salut 👌

[@imchris5000]

receipt paper is the trick to measuring stuff like this it also works really good for measuring trim for super exact finish carpentry just roll out how long you need and cut it to the length then you can transfer that to the stock your cutting from a journeyman who did finish trim for 30 years taught me that trick during my apprenticeship one job

[@DanielSilva-jj2lz]

When it rains, the rain will fall inside the engine.

[@billgolcher2537]

Man that is an awesome setup great job

[@wdcjunk]

Damn. Makes me wish I had cool projects to work on.

[@goldcountryruss7035]

Ah, finally you started squirting wire, I 100% quit pounding slag 45 years ago. How great the controls turnout will be determined more by how well they are labeled than whether the paint has runs. I wish there was at least one Murphy Gauge on the panel, I have loved their control parts for a long time.

[@steveladner4346]

Looking good 👍

[@RichardThompson-gc1cf]

MAN OH MAN YOU did A GREAT job ON THAT TRUCK LOTS OF SMARTS IN THAT BEAT UP HEAD love YOUR VIDEOS HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY

[@RustyorBroken]

No rain flapper on the top of the exhaust. Deduct 10 cool points.

[@matthewforrey9956]

Love the idea, you might want to figure out how to prevent weather from entering exhaust system, flapper or tee assembly…. Don’t know

[@laytonpackwood5950]

Love the video. Keep up the good work.

[@AIM54A]

looks awesome.. you might consider a guard over the gas pedal on the ground/base below the console in case if something ever drops down there it wont hit the gas..

[@stephransley4371]

Great progress, very interesting to watch.

[@reg2022]

Good job. I really love your videos. Creative and fun to watch.

[@every-istand-ophobe6320]

Glad to see you being unburdened by what has been.

[@kevinmoore342]

Zack that Exhaust could not have turned out any better if an Engineer planned it but you just might want to drill a small hole somewhere on the bottom of the pipe. Just in case water would happen to get in there. That Console gets two thumbs up, possibly three.

[@billsmith5166]

That thing's gonna be nice. Really well thought out. One thing though, I don't think you completely understand paint. Looking forward to seeing you run all those lines. Thanks for the video.

Fabricator Extraordinaire I must say! LOl!

[@robertschemonia5617]

I busted out a wrap-a-round a while back, and my boss was mystified about how it could possibly help with pipe fab. I was using it to help fab up some custom temporary air to air piping.

They are a must have piping.

Zach you have to come up with a name for that rig , it's a one off for sure , very cool ! Oh and you need a giant rain cap for that stack ,LOL .

[@imchris5000]

dont forget to drill a tiny drain hole at the lowest point it will keep you from shooting a geyser of sooty water out the exhaust all over everything when it rains

[@alibronx2112]

Pretty rugged exhaust! Bet that thing ain’t going anywhere

[@Failure_Is_An_Option]

Lets not allow rags to burn under any circumstance. Largest prairie fire I ever dealt with was under similar circumstances. Guy welding structure under a trailer deck. All work was done in large gravel area. Paper towels caught fire. It may have been the entire roll. He eventually noticed it and stomped them out. But the updraft caused a ember to carry. Dropped into a patch of cheat grass on the other side of the shop. Beyond the fence line... dry land wheat further than you could see.

[@laserflexr6321]

welding above a can of enamel paint with partially cured, on surface, same said enamel paint. Looks like he made it. I was waiting for POOF! OH Chet?!. LOL

low exaust have to be careful with dry grass and a low exhaust could start a fire

The only problem I can see is he going to create a blind spot but you're not going to drive on the road much anyway so what the hell's the difference

[@joepeppers1920]

Love these videos... takes me back to watching my dad work on and build stuff.... I'm hoping I didn't miss this in the video, so I'll ask, were the "precision cut" parts for the valves and gauges, I'm guessing those weren't hand cut, so CNC, but was it plasma? laser? Were the parts sent out? to a local shop? or maybe to somewhere like sendcutsend? I'm just trying to imagine myself setting up a straight edge and guides to try and hand plasma out all those shapes, and nah, not gonna happen....

[@jasonbillings7997]

I'm starting to get jealous of your setup go on the auction and buy a base beam for that rig lol

[@wlogue]

Nice!

[@danmartin9558]

When you were working on air tank noticed you didn't mention about using ICC check valve for air tank.

I wonder how those valves will stand up to the elements and time. Do they seem pretty solid?
