@@brotherbruce I wish I could have recorded it, but my battery went dead. The fire got so hot that the rock wall started glowing.

@@NotmeGK123 I know. I hate to cut the trees. I’d like to keep them for shade but those up on the hill don’t have many roots in the ground. If we get a bad storm the wind comes right over that ridge. The bad thing is, most of the stuff that has collected there is not mine. I just got stuck with it.

Yes I’m interested.

@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative OK its a ways away from me but i will set it up. All i want is the gears, apron, etc.

Where are you located

@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative central michigan i can get you a steady rest as well

@@cyclebuster sounds good. We’ll have to come up with a way of communicating that is more efficient than thru comments LOL. You are a long way from me but I’ll try to figure out something.

Thank you. I think it will be very usefull. If we get any snow this winter, I think I might try to use it for light snow so I don’t scrape the blacktop sealer off with the big snow plow if I don’t have to use it

@@IT_Dinosaur thank you. I probably should have done a little more resource on this one before it started. If I had hooked the motor into the high flow like they told me. I think I might have destroyed it. Good thing I second guessed my thinking.

@@NotmeGK123 that’s good because I’ll probably be a little CZcamsr for a long time. LOL. but I’m glad you like my videos.

I have another build video posting tomorrow. I have just been so busy at work lately to have time to do any projects. I hope to get back on a regular schedule soon.

If I ever get another one it will be one with ac and heat. But thanks for asking.

I worked on the wall on and off for 2 years. I was so happy when I got it done.

@@rogerhodges7656 I built all kinds of crazy stuff over the years. A lot of it didn’t work out but some of it was pretty good useful stuff. It’s a shame I don’t have some of the earlier stuff recorded. I’d have all kinds of stuff to put on CZcams.

Thank you so much. I’m trying to figure things out and working out different ways to do my videos. I hope I can find the right way to do them and make them interesting. Sorry to hear that about your friend. I am getting used to the finger but still have trouble gripping things just right sometimes. I’ll figure it out. I just realized the other day that I can’t play piano anymore. I was never any good at it but I used to write some music. I was never much good at that either.

@@LifeWithButch you got that right. The last 10 months has been nothing but bad luck for me.

I want to try to do something like that but I can’t decide how best to do it so dirt doesn’t collect around it so it don’t rust.

@@NotmeGK123 your right. I got hurt last October at work. I crushed my hand and lost my little finger. I was down for about 4 months from that. I’ve still not been able to build my endurance back up to what I was before.

@@srenjensen3817 thank you for your comment. When I first started doing CZcams, I watched a lot of other channels, and it seemed like nobody ever made any mistakes. I almost quit several times because I was worried to death that people would never watch my videos if I showed any mistakes. I was spending so much time trying to make them perfect. I soon realized that if it took me 3 days to do a 30 minute perfect mistake free video, then it was a waste of time anyway. I have had so many people comment and message me to say that they appreciated my honesty for not hiding my mistakes. I can do a lot of things, but I’m not perfect so mistakes happen. I know that CZcams is supposed to be entertaining but I started my channel to try to help people who might be doing some of the same things I’m doing. I decided to concentrate on video quality instead of pretending to be perfect like so many others do.

@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative If I see a CZcams video of a flawless process and execution, it can be off-putting and unrelatable. It's OK if they mention that they have done the procedure many times before. Also, repair videos where they have all the brand-specific tools for the procedure - how am I to afford all those tools just for single use?

I’ve spent my whole life working on stuff that I had to look for something that might work or I had to make something that might work.

It worked really good. I just had to remember to let the skid steer run for about 20 minutes after I turned off the inverter to fully charge the battery but I usually let it idle for a while anyway before I shut it down so it’s no big deal. I put a thermometer in it one time just to see how cold I could get it. It got down to 50 degrees with the outside temperature of 101.

My bad I should of look in comments lol

That little bit of dirt is nothing compared to the stuff I have do deal with out on the jobs. I have had to put tires on rock trucks where I had to crawl thru 6 inches of mud. So a little dirt doesn’t bother me. Now having to work on garbage trucks while dodging maggots dropping on the ground all around me. That bothers me but sometimes you have to deal with it.

I take pictures with my phone a lot when I’m working on something new. It helps a lot. Saved my butt more times than I can count.

@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative yeah years ago had Polaroid camera just for me and my shop stuff lol

I was looking at it, trying to think of a way to do that. I’ll look for the video and maybe get some ideas.

Thank you.

Yeah the last 9 or so months have been pretty tough. I thought everything was related to me crushing my hand and the 3 surgeries I had and still losing my finger. During and after the surgeries, I was having really bad blood pressure problem. My doctor thought all the surgeries had caused some heart problems. He done a bunch of tests and sent me to a cardiologist. The crazy thing is, I was at the cardiologist office and he had just told me everything was good with my heart. 30 seconds later my family doctors called to tell me he thought I had cancer. Talk about a smack in the face. It sent me into a bad depression. I am still trying to get myself out of the rut and get motivated to do things. I’m starting to feel better now so hopefully thing get better now.

I didn’t get along with my dad growing up, but I can say without a doubt that I did learn a lot from him. He didn’t give me much of a choice. I realize now that I’m a lot like him. I think he would be proud of how I turned out. I hope so anyway.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. I went 4 months. It knowing and it really took a toll on me. More than I ever thought it would. Hopefully now I can get my act together and I can get back to my projects. I hope everything turns out good for you as well.

I just piled it up and burned it. I tried a wood chipper but it was slow and very expensive to rent one.

Thank you so much. I’m doing pretty good. The last 9 months has been a crazy time. With me letting the cancer scare get to me and hurting my hand has been tough. On top of that, we have been so busy at work and we are short handed right now. I hope to get back in the swing of things soon so I can get some videos out.

It works great but I do have to let it run for a while after I turn the air conditioner off so the battery can charge back up. I forgot one time and it almost didn’t start.

What size invert u have​@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative

2,000 watt I think.

Thank you. I’m still trying to figure out the right balance. Sometimes I fell like I’m talking too much when I’m explaining what I’m doing. Then sometimes I fell like I’m going into more detail than I should. I want my videos to be informative but I know if it’s not entertaining, then people won’t watch. I’m still learning.

I completely agree with you. Not everyone has or can afford brand new equipment. I have plans to fix the bucket but getting the time is my biggest problem.

I have trouble with my blood pressure but when I’m running my equipment it relaxes me so much. I don’t know what it is about it.

When I get it cleaned up I’m going to plant creeping vine on it. I can’t remember what it’s called but it spreads out and has little flowers grow on top that bloom out several times during the summer.

will look very nice when done what a lot of work

@@thomascampbell2207 it’s been a 2 year project. I just worked on it when I had time and the weather would let me. The more I look at it, I’m thinking about building a green house on the flat below the top wall.

Yeah I think I am going to. They are only about 15 dollars more a piece.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I can at least get it close and then I can put the adjuster back on to push it the rest of the way. I have searched the internet and CZcams, and I’m surprised that their are no good videos on working on the track system.

Thank you. That was my grandson. I tried my best to keep him from helping me but he wouldn’t take no for an answer. He loves to help me. I only let him do it for about 15 min and I finally talked him into doing something else. I might switch back to three phase if I ever get my new shop built but I will have to get another motor. The one that was on it, had wires inside that mice had chewed the insulation off of. I was afraid to use it.

That little scaler is not very loud. Besides that he didn’t use it for probably 20 minutes. I have a decibel alarm on my phone also and it did not alert me that the sound levels were too high. I think he was just fine.

​@@Janderson-AppalachianCreative is it louder than mig welding?? if that's the case, hearing damage develops quite quickly, because the noise level of mig welding is over 85 dp 0.5m from the arc...
