A great idea is to install an air dryer.

Nice to see Mrs Summers smiling! She is so serious in your other videos.

I'd like to know how your system is running now that you have had time with it? Would you would change anything if you has to doing it over again?

Seeing less and less of Steve, hope were not losing him --

First thoughts, what a score and boy all of that looks heavy🤣

Thanks for the video Just starting out with this type of thing and that Norton manual is invaluable to have found after watching your video Vintage machinery has a downloadable copy

Still missing your usual Sat posts but these always work for a Steve fix.

Still missing ya on Saturdays so a tour down memory lane brought me here today. I love shop made tooling. Money in the bank old friend.

Thomson shafting is material for linear guides / linear bearings. If you have the material you should already know this. It's probably R c 60 or so. Trying to cut it in a band saw or checking the surface with a file will likely ruin the shaft for use as a linear guide. Next time, pay attention to the material you select. Know what it is and what it's for.

I've been missing you these days without our regular Saturday visits my friend so I just meander around these older posts that are always a bunch of fun. Thanks again and I hope things slow down enough to see you on Saturday mornings Steve and coffee time. When Plasma torches came to be I wonder how much the accetylene manufactoys hurt from their sales going down, down, down. I just use it with my rosebud now. I have a new us postal story for you. I pour pure silver in my little forge where I use shot/grain for my casting materials. It (50) ounces left Montana and promptly dissapeared. After a long hunt and track they found it in Oslo- Norway. At least it is still in system but Vanderhoof BC Canada is a little bit different than Oslo. It is the first time I have had any troubles from your Postal Service.

Steve, good to see you're still kickin, life happens and you deal with it, when you post new content we'll be here! 👍

It was nice seeing you at the Hot Rod Power Tour, thanks stopping and seeing if you could be any help when I was replacing my fuel pump at the speedway.

You can fix oil burners with a garden hose with a sprayer on mist. Get the engine up to operating temp and rev the engine up. Now slowly start spraying water do this for about 10 minutes. This cleans the carbon out of the ring lands and allows the oil control rings to work again.

The frame is strong enough, but the tongue is less than desirable. I would of put a A Frame built out of 1/4" channel. If you love your dog, keep her out of the shop while you're working

Just caught up with this series and I'm mighty impressed. I had a remodeling business for 20 years before retirement and put on 2 or 3 composite roofs, usually heavier architectural style. That was enough to convince me that hiring roofers made more sense and was usually less expensive for my customers. Even on my own house I just couldn't afford the time for DIY roofing. And, yes, I can attest to the inevitable rain anytime you cut a hole in a roof!!!!!

The "edge finder thingy" at 21:00 is called a Chair (because thats what it looks like!)

Add a cheap $10 one way check valve in the suction tube. Problem solved

So, just discovered your channel yesterday & have been up all night watching the square body vids for tips (off duty, but i work overnights, so… 🤣)… Just recently picked up an ‘87 recently. Actually have an appointment at 8am this morning to replace the windshield & seal (wish i’d watched THAT vid last week… i’m sure there will be rust, but this place doesn’t do that kind of work)… anyway, I like the look of those headlights. What are they, how do you like them, and where can i find them?

Well, it’s not a great idea but it’s not a really bad idea. When the hose won’t retract in the cold, you’ll just have to lay it on the ground in front of the door until you feel like getting out the ladder to go up there and deal with it.

Wow. Nice work sir

Steve I always enjoy your segments, thanks for that what you give us to view . Someone once told me life can be heavy if you carry it all at once ; we do what we can and move forward

Thanks for making the video.... 1) Make sure your dog is out of the way - they have no eye protection..... 2) I make mine and turned the C channel facing outside. That gave me square sides on the inside and channel on the outside for the wiring - so if and when my wiring goes bad I can access it easy. 3) There are plans on the internet for 3500 5x10 utilitrailer. I use C-channel, bought a bigger axel etc. and used pressure treated 2x8 on the floor. End result is a beast that probably weighs close to 800lbs. - but I have hauled some pretty heavy stuff (probably a hair overweight considering I have no brakes on the axle - but I pull with a 1ton pickup) 4) I went with torsion axle. Note, to make the mounting brakets on the inside, you have to order them that way..... I made the mistake of assuming C-channels were 2" wide. Not sure why I did that. I had to adjust with custom mouting plate. That plate/mount is stupid heavy duty.

You may want to seal up the hole for the air line coming through the outside wall to keep wasps from nesting in your attic.

Core went out you say? Puked All over the interior you say? That sounds rough. Mine went out other day. Was a rear heater in a van though. Puked All over the interstate! I assume anyway... I didn't notice until I warped both heads and was coasting through construction praying for a lane to open up!

I gave a thumbs just for the 2,000lb axle joke.

The kind of mind that can figure out how to design a tool like that tapping head just amazes me.

america's throwaway economy is so unsustainable, im very interested in techniques like this to salvage used parts. i want to develop a machine shop specializing in adding bearings to all the bearing-less aluminum overhead cam cylinder heads.

STEVE WHY IS THERE SUNLIGHT?!?! Attic work is after sun down only! Do you have those little frogs that climb glass too? We live in DE and find them on the sliding glass door to the deck after every rain.

👍

Steve you Skipped the spring mounting details & tips.

Genius

👍

👍

Just mount a NEMA box on the left side wall about 4 ft above ground level. mount a ball valve and quick connector inside it. Put a hose hangar on the left side wall. No need for hose reel.

Nice upgrade Steve

Hey Steve, you can buy those fittings!

We want to see more of that old red geo metro

Wishing you and yours all the best take care from bonny Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A technique I came across recently that I thought I'd share, really blew my mind, and the few pro machinists listening as well. If you're surface grinding a part and, for whatever reason, none of the surfaces are close enough to "flat" for your liking, or you've flipped it over a few times and seem to be chasing a high or low you can't pin down, try this. Take one (or 2 stacked sheets, depending) of paper towel or shop towel, and soak in water. Lay them between the part and mag chuck and magnetize. Depending how janky the part is, you might want to take a light pass, flip, light pass, flip, etc. just until there aren't really deep lows or highs. The science behind this being, the saturated towel will help even out the highs and lows by allowing highs to sink further into the towel. Also, from what I've seen of this trick, for whatever reason the finish will be so much better than normal! 🤔

Good To see you again, smilling as usual ! Wish you and your familly the best.

mount a brush across the hose reel opening to keep birds and maybe wasps out hose will still work well with this mod. my2cents

Steve i had to resubscribe to your channel, your channel name was erased on my computer even though i showed as subscribed while watching

SSteve, I hope you have survived the tornados wthout any damage or injuries. Let us know.

Attic Steve.. "If I get heatstroke, can you guys carry me back down?" made me chuckle :) As a very un-limber, overweight guy though, my brain couldn't quite comprehend how you hopped up on the top of those cabinets like it was nothing to do the leak check!

Put an outside socket outlet in... Good video 😐🇬🇧

Steve, guess there must be a reason why you didn't run the airline down the outside corner of the shop wall, clear of the sliding door and mount the reel at chest height on the side wall? Would be more convenient access, (no ladders involved) if you have to work on the reel, just thinking out loud. Good to see you back in the saddle. Cheers from OZ 🍻👍
