Fish, Hunt, Cook, Tinker. Do what you love! I have grown up fishing and hunting every chance that I get. With that passion brought a love to cook my catch. When I am not fishing or hunting I am working on any and everything. Most of the time something to help aid in my fishing and hunting addiction.
$40 Table or Countertop!? [DIY Custom Tabletop]
For a few years now. Building a rod building table has been on my to do list. Since it is going to be in a area in the house it can be seen. I want it to look good! After looking at many premade countertops and seeing ridiculous prices. I decided that was not going to happen. I was not spending $400 dollars on a tabletop to build rods on! After all it was going to get drops of epoxy and tip top glue everywhere over time. After a few years of use. I could just refinish it anyway.
After some thought and a trip to Lowe’s. I decided I was going to just use the cheapest thing I could find. What that turned out to be was just a couple 2”x6”x10’ SPF framing boards. I did spend a little time and pick out the best boards of the bunch. Even though there were a few knots. That was nothing some wood putty couldn’t remedy.
I don’t have an elaborate wood working shop. Just a table saw, miter saw, and some clamps. I ran the 2x6 boards through my table saw to clean up the edges. Then glued and clamped them all together. After everything dried I pulled it outside and sanded everything nice and smooth. Now came the hard part. Deciding how to finish it!
I did multiple tests to try and figure out the very best route to go. I tried tongue oil, two types of wipe on poly, mineral oil, and a mix I have used for years. I was very surprised to find that there really wasn’t a huge difference in all of them. In the end I thought my mix looked the best, but it wasn’t enough. It just didn’t have enough character. I wanted something more. So I whipped out my torch and took it to yet another test piece of wood. After I applied my mix and let it dry. I was surprisingly satisfied with the outcome. Character with a nice light finish. In my opinion. It looked better than any $400 dollar counter or table top I have seen!

A few years back I started building my own fishing rods. Since then I have been wanting to build a table dedicated for building rods. I keep putting it off due to my lack of free time.

My old 8n is in need of some love and care. She has had oil in the antifreeze for some time. I have been just to busy to tear into it.

Boat Top On a 68 Ford?! [[Old Red Part 5]]

My old 68 F100 has been a project of mine for over 15 years. It has sat idle in multiple locations for years off and on. Now I am kicking myself in the rear. With all the sitting outdoors we have developed some rust. I had intentions of getting a carport for it probably 100 times. Now I am paying for my procrastination. Mother Nature has left the top of the cab with multiple ventilation holes. ...

This old 68 F-100 is proving to be a challenge to get back together. On this one I am just trying to keep my head above water. I am going through the electrical and putting the final touches on the motor. It seems like I spent most of the time staring at a wiring diagram. Since I didn’t take the truck apart. The challenge seems daunting. Thankfully it’s a 68. Therefore the wiring in minimal. Af...

Old Red has spit and sputtered here and there. Now it is time for some fine tuning and a good roar. I can’t even express how excited I am to hear this 390 run. When I bought the motor it did not come with a carburetor. I borrowed one to try, but it would only spit and sputter. I never could get it to run right. Assuming it was the carburetor we gave up and took the motor completely apart. At le...

After 15 years of waiting. It is finally time to hear this old Ford F-100 roar. It will be a short one since it is a bit premature, but it has set in silence for far to long! I started this project in 2016 or 2017. It’s been so long it’s all a bit fuzzy now. I am even struggling to remember if it is a 68 or 69. Regardless, it’s been a long time. The original 360 was rusted so bad the pistons ha...

Carolina Skiff Rebuild In 60 Seconds!

Skiff rebuild in 60 seconds! This old Carolina Skiff has been used and abused for 16 years. It has finally gotten to the point where something has to be done about the water in the hull. The foam core is saturated with water. Freezing in the winter has caused the deck to swell and crack. Which means a total rebuild! I had never done any type of fiberglass work prior to this rebuild. It was one ...

Sixteen years ago, I started restoring my Great Grandfathers 1968 Ford F100. I worked tirelessly cleaning, sanding, and painting this whole truck. It was a beautiful Rangoon Red.

Carolina Skiff Rebuild Part 17 Motor and Steering Final
Skiff owner as well. Fiberglass doesn't really rot. What your seeing is lazy manufacturing. Every channel could be filled with water and the original foam and the boat will still float. That was the point. Really its just the weight and the chance of the soaked foam freezing being the issue. Drill then dry once a season and these boats will probably be eternal. Yours turned out very nice though. Awesome job.
Dude's speaking Alabama ease. He doesn't have an Amana (Uh-man-uh) dryer, he has an (Ar-mon-uh) dryer. I thought he was servicing a new brand of dryer. Keep up the good work Buddy!
Do auto zone gotem
Getting ready to tackle this as well
Did Sears or Montgomery Wards sell DB?
Do the Zerk fittings still work after the Roll Pin is installed and can I grease the PTO adapter that way. Or, do I have to grease it just slipped on, remove Zerks, install Roll Pin? I was bewildered until I found this CZcams. Thanks!!
Great job
I have a pitman strap coming loose from the knife bar head. Is there a way to fix this issue. I replaced the strap with a eBay, took it to a metal repair shop, made the adjustment my self was a little better. I used hose clamps tighten on it that helped more with belt super loose. Tighten the belt some and back to the same problem.
Pull the valve cover to put new petcocks on/in. It's just a few nuts. (I do like your idea, though!) (Edit: The valve cover'll roll out over the valve rack..)
Did you ever do a performance review???? I'd like to see it in actual use....
Great looking project. I came across your channel and saw you tried zionlabs 2 in 1 convertor primer. You mentioned doing a review on the product. How did it hold up on your horse trailer? Thanks for your time.
Did you ever figure it out? I had a old mercury that seemed to misfire. I didn’t like battery cables and changed them and boom ran like a champ. Also was there old fuel in it?
Have had many failures of the large o ring. Bought several cut offs and replaced o rings several more times, always the large one. Will hold for 3 or 4 weeks then slow leak. Fixed it though, replaced tank with a tank made for 8n or 8oo. It has a side mount for the sediment bowl type shut off. Works great and if ever need to change no disassembly required.
I'm gonna try this. What was it that your wife made that you put on after the Frank's? Thanks. Peace, Love and Wisdom to you and yours.
Man I just want to say, I went down this rabbit hole with you yesterday and watched all 20 vids. Bro, you did a hell of a job. I know everything didn’t turn out like you wanted but that’s building anything in general. I truly wish we were buds cause I can tell the kind of person you are. But anyway I really enjoyed the series. I hope you got the motor straightened out and I truly appreciate your candor and thoroughness in these vids. I didn’t know it was going to take me 5-6 hours to watch them all but I couldn’t stop watching. I’m about to get one of these boats on trade for a deck job and I learned so much from your vids. Seriously grateful you took the time to make these. You’re a hell of a good content creator. Just the way you went thru step by step. Your sense of humor about things as they come up. Your approach to the task. All of it. As a builder of many things myself. I truly value the work you did. Thanks man! 10 stars. lol
If you plow from the middle every year you will have a high middle because your throwing the dirt to the middle and the youll have lower outer edges Not a low spot or a dich as you call in the middle.
Air in the fuel line? Seen that before. If you used hose clamps change them out to squeeze or compression clamps. Great job on the boat, it looks great.
Appreciate the video. Working on a J16 in Florida for flats fishing and the deck built by previous owner needs replacing. Was going to mount flush but it IS too much for beauty’s sake 😅
Excellent hack! Thanks for posting. Just modified mine and it worked great. This became a necessity for me because even the new petcocks I buy arrived with dried out o-rings.
I wonder what putting in some "Heat source" of some kind under the hull and drive that moisture out. High enough to drive the water to vaporize over time but not enough to do any damage.
Probably wouldn't want to have to beat it off 😅
You like the smooth teeth better?
I know nothing about tractors and even less about farming/plowing/discing/harrowing, ...... but I am a very good mechanic. I purchase a tired but unmolested 1954 NAA (Jubilee identical). I have two acres I want to take care of and plant a garden here in the southwest. I'm fixing up the "Jubilee" (its easier to call it that as then everyone out here knows what it is even though technically its a NAA) and have fixed the the hydraulics and running. It has "draft control". Does the 8N? Does draft control really works so you don't have to have your hand as you demonstrated so well for when the tractor bogs down? ANY advice would be helpful as I know nothing. Which implement should I try to purchase first? Why? My land has never been plowed. It was an avocado orchard for 100 years and now it is just land. It is pretty hard and doesn't look like all that beautiful soil you guys have with that deep brown color. I just can't imagine a blow like yours would cut into my soil. Do I plow first or disc first? Again, anything would help. Thank you.
I’ve come back to this video twice in the last 2yrs. You’re the man
Thanks. I had never used one of these on my 8N before and was wondering how they attached.
They sell pistons that can go directly into the block without sleeves, your probably not going to run it enough to wear them out again, we don't run them for ten hours a day like old timers did, they are hobby tractors for most of us, mine has got 130hrs in the last 12 years, stay strong guys
I make a lot of different whitetail recipes sir, this looks good but why the plastic liner ? NOT being judgemental just inquiring fella. I carve my harvest, as well as my son's & his buddies. All learnt from utube. I also cook my harvested grouse . 👍 good times. 74+🍁 hunter Yorkshire expat
I was thinking about the plastic liner too
Thank you for putting up that video.Love it keep up the good work
Buying an 8n a bush hog tonight. Thanks for the info. I was 16 the last time i was on a tractor and it was green.
Could I be doing something wrong? Rivets would smash square but not break off. Is the rivet on the top of the vice or IN the vice? Update. Got it. Bigger hammer.
This mixer is absolutely amazing. I did in 3 weekends 140 80 lbs bags. Mixing 3 80lbs bags at the time I put a little more water than recommended. I bought it at Walmart. I highly recommended.
[thank, you for you're great helpful video]👍
Good information right there. In way to be patient when talking about it.
What are the signs of your filter getting clogged for your transmission?
Kudos for owning up to the brain fart. Almost all of us do that and the ones that don’t are liars 😉 How long is that skiff? It does look real heavy
Thanks for the great video. I'm rebuilding my 501 i just bought . Also got a complete rebuild kit from Webb. I was lost in a few areas, but after watching you I got it figured out. Thanks a bunch. Your friend Tom from Ny
I'm in the same boat as you. I just got one as well. Gonna need a little work to get it going again.
I have the same tractor. Only had it for a year. Thanks for the great information
👍
You have to line up the top wheel to the back of the drum? Thanks
Okay, Brother! Get OVER the transport position (or fighting it!). When you are prepared to move your 580B to the next digging position - Center the Backhoe. The Boom lever - next to the righthand outrigger needs to be pulled back right and up to when the boom is almost to the top...then force the lever forward... the boom will lock into position. It took me 50 passes to figure that thing out... now - LOCKED before I move EVERY TIME. It just takes practice and once you get it... you will snicker to yourself!
I do NOT have the bar on the backhoe that we have 1973?-ish 580B... I will use the Travelers in my transmission - we'll see if it stops screaming... hoping for the best... as to the holes in the backhoe arm... he was using it as a lock-pin... or so it looks like.
Great planting music! Can't dance a jig while planting, though. I got a 3 point 2 row john deere 246 from a guy off of Facebook market place. He used it for sweetcorn, as the guy he got it from. I just planted my sweetcorn with it yesterday. Had it on my ford 860.
Ordered one several months ago, finally installed it a couple of days ago. Pretty easy job!
Y boss has a Kenmore dryer, but itshe same as yours. Thanks for this video. I believe I can fix theirs and save them a ton of money!!! Keep up the great work...

God Bless you, Sir! I’m replacing a fuel shutoff when the parts get here.

Great video. Looking to get a 580b soon
just wanted to thank you for putting this out there. I have the same dryer, same symptoms, your video helped me fix mine flawlessly. All squeaks are gone. thank you again!
