Well That Escalated Quickly!

[@joshrogan9854]

That style of hacksaw with an automatic off button was in every workshop in Australia in the 70s in my memory..

[@michaeltablet8577]

Absotively posilutely fantabulous!

[@joeeyman7503]

I NEED to hang with you for a few years.. hours… whatever, the wealth of knowledge blows me away! I’m learning Sir! Keep it up! 🙏😎🤙

[@michaelsimmons6138]

All old school if you don't have the right tool you make one ! These kids these days need to learn this from us old fellas lol love the old saw 👍👍🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@mattc.310]

Cool plans for the jeep. Should be a runner. That was an awesome cruise on the river. The cure for when Mother Nature tries to bake you.

[@jcnme]

Yet Another Excellent Video ! Love your Channel Brother ❤️

[@darenm617]

That postal worker probably scares the living daylights out of you every mornings when you turn on the shop lights 😂

[@chrisgriffin2587]

Man that Wienerschnitzel air fresher is cool as all get out. Love there chili cheese dogs!

[@skyepilotte11]

Great day Merlin...work, play relax. Thank you for the content...always something new.

[@TheOldaz1]

Jeep conversion should be great and always good to get on the water on a hot evening.

[@skipman8yard]

Great bit of RnR great way to cool off to merlin 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💯🏴‍☠️🤘💪🇬🇧😎😎🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@elroyelblander6277]

Interesting stuff Mister Merlin... thanks for another video feller...see ya later👍👊

[@tertessa]

Thanks for the ride up the River... YJ fell apart..😀🇨🇦

[@stephenlewis8143]

Loved that piece of history "in action" (instrument )that use to reside in a printing company? Lube, oil & then the art of getting it running; & then the move to under body work on vehicles; then the romp & ride on the water in the afternoon, adrenaline pumps and 2 stroke machines glide on the water. A good day for you hopefully & sorry re the big heat.

[@matthouse8499]

👋😎👍always something cool tks Merlin 👍

[@cameronjacobs3144]

That saw is so cool I love old machinery

[@travissweeney788]

Excellent time no doubt!! Love it!!

[@jb3536]

What I really like about your channel is I learn stuff every time and see old things I've never seen before.The first time I rode a jet ski was when we rented 2 stand-ups for 30 minutes riding in the Gulf of Mexico and we could barely walk when we got back. And we thought we were in good shape.

[@miguelgarcia5535]

My favorite KZbinr the man with the plan

[@johnkranz4004]

Very kool Merlin Beautiful river ride

[@bernhard8540]

You'd think for what those lockers cost it would definitely have something besides a thin basic cheap piece of copper tube.. lol I miss the days when stuff was built to last❤😂

[@toddhiggins6318]

Jewel 💎 of the desert

[@larryboy8821]

Don't forget to show us how to make an alternator a welder! Sure, I could Google it, but I don't want to! Sweet hacksaw!!

[@genehasenbuhler2594]

You have the most eclectic array of stuff😆

[@leehanzalik9033]

Love the sign "Assholes Garage". you have some cool old shop tools

[@johnperun232]

Great 👍content on the air lockers Love your Ideas on the new jeep Beautiful scenery Have a Great Day and God Bless AMERICA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@SteveLaVoy]

I thought I saw one of those old 3-wheeled postal Cushman’s in the background. My pop was a lot like you. If something was broken, he could fix it better than new!! He got one of those Cushmans, fixed it and we had a ball running it around the property and the neighborhood. And my dad also had an old power hacksaw similar to yours. But smaller. I think he gave it away when he got a chop saw from Harbor Freight. Thanks for bringing back the Memories of My childhood.

[@ricardoguerra9411]

Those old toys, patch them up, Enjoy , then patch them up again, rinse and repeat. Find another on and on. Sounds good to me.

[@keitharnett1766]

Love content killing it on jet skis , had old Yamaha stand up dad brought home brought back lot memories on Beshear lake , Dawson Springs KY .

[@JamesDavis-to1hn]

Love this channel. So cool!

[@kdgckg]

Love your license plate wall…

[@frankhage1734]

Don't forget to show us the hacksaw in operation with new blades. Other than the noise, the jet-skiing looks like awesome fun. I personally think 2-stroke engines for any type of transportation should be illegal. With jet-skis, all that oil ends up in the water.

[@stephenpoe2037]

Nice Jeep project coming up ! Thanks for sharing !

[@Bigcountry.2500hd]

That was a really awesome tip.

[@joesgaragedoorservice7506]

Last I saw a hacksaw like that was in a papermill I worked at in the 80s , nice find

[@waynewilliams839]

Thanks merlin ,I remember skiing thatlake 55 years ago

[@jasonkeith674]

Please tell me you have video footage of that XP build🙏. Not only are you working on and teaching me how to’s for my own ‘88 YJ build and upgrades, you reveal the 787 XP. I’ve had mine since it came off the showroom. It needs work after all these years though. Please teach me sir🙏 Like someone already commented, I’m learning every time I tune in. Subscriber for life. Thank you for all you do sir. Jason, from Texas.

[@robertkeime4907]

Love the old hacksaw

[@patrickcraig6032]

Cool to see the power hack saw. I have the same saw.l got at a city auction 20 years ago.$75.No paperwork.It's slow but fun to watch.

[@dennisrcole]

* * * * Put a peise of spring steel between the front shackles , like IH did on Scouts w/wide tires .

[@johnhornback7878]

Great video..

[@DependableAutoTruck]

you do a very good job no bells or whistles your content is what i watch for thanks hope you never change

[@thebeek123]

That saw looks like something an old timer blacksmith would have.

[@michaelheiser861]

LOVE THE HACK SAW

[@randytravis3998]

I have a CJ7 they played with the springs on it ,, I hit bumps it will send me up in the seat ,, seat belt keeps me from flying up and out ,, then I have a 97 Wrangler in my shop ,, I call it the Flintstone mobile .. floors are gone .. bought it that way ,, rust ,, needs a floor pan and body mounts ,, lots of welding .. it will be a winter job or 2 ,, I need a smother ride with my neck and lower back injury's like to see how you do the Jeep ,, thumbs up on the video ,,

[@1944chevytruck]

Cool old saw!... amazing little boats!

[@sleim754]

LOL we had the same type of hack saw at the high school I taught at except that we had a fluid catch tray and pump to lube the cut.

[@johnme7049]

I'm with you, That is a really cool hacksaw. I love that you are giving it a new home and using it as designed. Also, YEE HAW!

[@decentgarage]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Merlin!

[@marquisrichardson4222]

I really enjoy your channel, the hacksaw is awesome! I'm jealous.

[@Tate6788]

That’s a bad ass old machine glad it works just goes to show they don’t make anything like they use to

[@kevinbode6483]

The old blades are great for making knives. We had one when I worked foundry maintenance.

[@jamesmooney5348]

Boy, your logging now. That saw is pretty cool.

[@realplatinum]

That was fun to watch. Excited to see more on that jeep.

[@DB-yj3qc]

I wish I could give more thumbs up. By starting the video on ARB locker faults, I've seen so many times ARB failed do to leaks.

[@rememberthis8795]

I mean this very respectfully and in good natured fun… as I watch your videos, I keep thinking Merlin reminds me of someone from the good old days… I finally figured it out… Thomas Magnum left Hawaii and P.I. work; along with Rick and TC, then met Jimmy in AZ and started doing cool car projects after giving Robin Masters back the red Ferrari… just for laughs. Nobody get uptight… 😊

[@CorkscrewTrail]

Dad had an old hacksaw like that. It too came from a printing company. He never got around to putting a motor on it. I do know where it’s at, I might have to go beg for it back.

[@robertquackenbush5547]

The jeep upgrades sound real good

[@philbert006]

How cool is that old power hacksaw? I must agree, money well spent. Even if it had just become yard art, it looks so cool.

[@craigclark3279]

So cool to watch you on Havasu its great ,we mostly do Mojave bigger and better less traffic, so cool during the night sleeping on the h2o

[@steveschmitt2849]

Very entertaining Merlin, some shop work some jeep tare down and some of your relaxing time. Thank you for sharing and stay safe 👍

[@stuartwilson5634]

Fantastic, brilliant.😊

[@rickdavidson7951]

That hacksaw will save your butt on bigger pieces, the old blades make great knife material..

[@tylerpruitt1669]

You’re a smart man sir I learn something new everytime I watch you

[@jballenger9240]

Love the oil can!! And the USPS mail rehab looks 🤩🤩🤩

[@donlarsen9807]

Thank you for the video. Can't wait to watch the Jeep build progress. Stay safe healthy and happy 👍

[@gettingreasygarage2435]

I am eagerly awaiting your alternator AC conversion video. I always thought it was possible but haven't figured out how to do it. Keep the videos coming Merlin!

[@flyingmachinecustomparts8227]

Really enjoy your projects , your knowledge and skills and attention to details are really worth the watch !! Thank you sir for sharing with us.

[@veetwin75]

For years, i've been pulling seals exactly the same way

You are one bad ass fabricator you always impress me 👍

Good morning from Siesta Key Florida

[@harrytaylor6854]

Wow what a nice old saw you luck out on that one well done sir Merlin

[@williamjones9099]

Hell ya buddy good stuff good stuff

[@chrisfenner5949]

They made some pretty cool tools back in the day.

[@cameronskaggs4188]

Like that old saw

[@79tazman]

That looks like a hell of a lot of fun right there I live up on the great lakes on lake Huron but grew up on lake Erie and that was my teenage years were to ride jet ski's and go fishing all weekend long and head to Kelly's Island and Put In Bay in Ohio the over to Pelee Island in Canada and have a great time. I have not done that since the 2005 or so but I still get out every weekend on my boat to go fishing but the weather is changing now winter is coming soon time to get the winter toys out LOL!

[@marygrace5231]

Cool saw.

[@scottmcvicar7516]

Great videos Merlin ! I wish I had your knowledge ! Thank you . When I watch your videos it like I’m in a class room .

[@reinovator]

That saw will keep from heating up your material. a finer edge, good straight drop (Gravity) cuts Love that old stuff. I have a couple of old drills that will twist a car in half slowly if they catch you can't slow them down fast enough after it brakes your arms. Marvel 'Stan Lee' reciprocating saw, Well made. I Like the jeep build.

[@jb3536]

I'm guessing they are 1/2" low RPM drills that even when you let off the trigger there's no stopping them.

[@RadioMan666]

Merlin, Always great to see your newest projects. Not to mention you and your buds out playing. Glad to see your not golfing. 😂

[@fatboyfabs6796]

Merlin I really love the work you do. I do have to say that I find myself laughing out loud at so many of them because I sware you have A.D.D with the way you jump from one project to another. LMAO!!!

[@aarone3790]

Awesome to watch you all play

[@allover4309]

I have 2 YJs One I bought with the bolt on springs and it "rides like a lumber wagon" lol, best description ever 😆 The other one I did myself like you are planning and I love it. Soft, flexy and great off roader. Looking forward to seeing your master's touch on one 👍

[@calholli]

I put a 500cc Rotax engine out of a Skidoo snowmobile, onto a cheap 2 seater chinese go kart-- (the engines are very similar to those seadoo's, minus all the marine accessories.). We clocked that go kart on gps doing 74mph in a short city block. lol.. Rotax is one of my favorite engine designs. I always liked yamaha banshee's too, over the racing 450's quads.. But a rotax, how it has that rotary valve rather than reeds; it's just an excellent design and they are super reliable. They are actually so reliable that there are versions of rotax engines used in aviation; in smaller planes. One thing that can catch you is their 2 stroke oil pumps. I usually bypass all that stuff and just premix my fuel. You may have to re-jet it a little by doing that, but they stay 99% bullet proof by doing that.

[@chicnwing4519]

Man would love ride there once, I better get it done I'm 64 still riding stand ups

[@quigs59]

Adventures Made From Scratch on KZbin just took possession of a few of those Mail truck 3 wheelers if you need parts.

[@lonhoschar1943]

Your Jeep project is pretty extensive!! Going to be pretty awesome when you get her done!! Love the footage of Havasu. I miss that place! I've had a lot of fun out there!! I'll be keeping a close watch on the Jeep build!!😁

[@lchebuhar9212]

The Jeep project looks really cool. Thanks for taking us along for the ride! 💪👍🏼

[@twwtb]

That hacksaw has a pretty cool sounding rhythm. I think it just needs to be bathed in a big tub of machine oil.

[@letzrockitrite8469]

Wow Merlin... your vids are a great time..... with either ride alongs like this one or with great in depth info/vid close ups... can't thank you enough Bud

[@Nobody_Important_Yea]

Love the lake, love the river and the sandbar. Greetings from Topock 😊

[@willyporter7373]

Love the old tools! Another great video

[@b.s.adventures9421]

Pretty out there

[@blackbuttecruizr]

Epic ski trip, can't wait to see the jeep built

[@bigds6692]

Oh man I wish I had a bunch of friends to go jet ski with! That looked like a blast! Can't wait to see and hear that jeep when it's done, and that hacksaw was way cool! I've never seen anything like that!

[@_Merica_USA]

Looks like a lot of fun! 👍🏼

[@robertwhite268]

I used hack saw just like that one for about 15 years it cut straight not to fast but it worked well great deal for you it was still working great when I left that job 👍

[@rustywranglesarizona4310]

Jet ski ride looks like a good time. I used to winter in Quartzsite, had a small Searay 16ft jet boat I used to enjoy taking up the river from Parker. Sold the boat, started another business so not doing winters in Q now. But hope to get back to that sometime in the future. Really like Havasu also, hung out there a lot.
