My New but Old or Old but New Saw Stand Vid 087 6Aug24
This video shows an unboxing, assembly, and mobile base unit installed on a Now New-to-Me Miter Saw stand that I purchased 21 years ago but never opened. It's been down in the storage area above my kennel all that time. I sure do enjoy having it since I have room in my new workshop. In advance, thank you for joining me. Be safe, be kind, and keep having fun. 🙂

Modify My Harbor Freight 30 Inch Floor Fan Vid 086 11Jun24

Hey there folks. Sorry for such a long break between videos I've been working on the metal building workshop and I almost have videos to publish for your viewing. In the meantime, I have two large, slightly heavy Harbor Freight floor fans that are a 'pain in the rump' to move around so I will resolve that issue in this video. I hope this gives you an idea how to mobilize heavy objects that you ...

Hello folks. This is a video of me making a temporary fix of a leaking 6 ton bottle jack that raises my J&S motorcycle lift.

It did continue to leak but a modification to the release valve prevents the oil from slowl...

Hello folks. This is Part 2 of my Railroad Tie Rifle/Pistol Range Backstop build. During this video, I remove soil, roots and prep the ground for building my RR Tie backstop.

How's she goin'? Wow, what a neat surprise when you opened that box eh. Not only was there snake skin remnants but you had a great stand for your saw!! Making it mobile was a good idea too!! Smart thinking buddy!! It was an interesting title for the video Don, but a fitting one just the same. Take 'er easy!!
You're right, Mike. Glad that snake wasn't inside when I opened the box. Thanks much for the great support. Don 👍🏽🤠
Very cool. I love new old stock stuff like that. I bought a Skil brand cordless 3/8' drive ratchet new old stock. I bought one originally in the mid 80's. The batteries won't hold a charge but one of these days I'm gonna retrofit a lithium battery into it. You saw stand looks very well made.
Bruce, I too like the build of the Hitachi stand and I do like older vintage tools that work. The mobile base made it quite easy to maneuver the saw around my workshop. Thanks for watching and the comment. Right now we're in day 3 of steady rain which I think stems from hurricane Debby. We need the rainfall. Several months prior we had no rain and everything turned brown. That's not the case now. Take it easy, Bruce. Don 👍🏽🤠
Thanks for sharing. I will need to check out the mobile base for my stand.
Nordlander, this mobile base unit saved me from a whole lot of struggling to move an awkward built piece of equipment. Now I just scoot the miter saw from one part of the workshop out to the cutting area then roll it back to its storage spot when I'm done after I've cleaned off all the sawdust and grime. Hope you're doing okay my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting on my video. Take good care of yourself and the grand kids. Don 👍🏽🤠
The wheel kit sure made a difference, Don. I bought a small electric log splitter two years ago. Still haven't used it! 😅
Rick, that wheel kit was the right move. I just couldn't believe that I left this miter stand untouched for that long until I went up into the kennel storage area and saw It was never opened and my miter saw was tired of being hand-lifted every time it was to be used and placed onto something firm enough to hold it. Plus my back couldn't keep that action up. I hope you eventually bring out the electric log splitter to use or give it to one of the sons a week after Christmas as an "I love you son" gift. A gift for them, "just because". Alright my brother, take good care of yourself and take the grand babies for more rides on your tractor and enjoy every single minute of it. Don 👍🏽🤠
Good Evening Sir, ( I'm very Happy To See New Videos From You Sir !!!) LOL ( a necessity to have 🤣👌👍) 🚧🚧😮😮MAAAAN I HATE SOOOO MUCH SNAKES and I Knew that will be 🥴🥴🚧🚧Nice mobile Saw Stand 🧐🧐👍👍Be Well Sir Cheers 🍻🍻
Dave, what's going on, mon ami? Yep, those snakes take over whatever they can. i'm sure the rat snake honed right in on those field mice when they made the box their home and the snake invited the mice for dinner......his dinner. Thanks for stopping by. I'm still making my workshop the way that I want it so I'll have a few more videos to show folks. Be well my friend and thank you again for watching and commenting. Take it easy. Don 👍🏽🤠 08/06/24

Good to hear from you.
Thanks for your continued support, Gary. Don 👍🏽🤠
Good afternoon Don!!!
Hey there Gary. I was just thinking of you while watching one of Luc's videos. Hope you're doing well. It's been super hot here for the past several months. We're now in the 'Batten-down the Hatch' mode with all the rain from Hurricane / Tropical storm Debby. Gary, I'm still trying to get my workshop squared away and I think I'll have itclose to the way I want it but I think I'll have it close right before I get thrown 6 feet under the yellow daisies. Take good care of yourself, brother. Semper Fi Don 👍🏽🤠
Looks good Don! That wheel kit sure was a good addition, those stands are nice but they do take up a lot of room.
great video my friend
That’s almost an Antique Roadshow find 😉🙂. The mobile base is perfect 👍🏻. It will definitely get used more with the base on it 👍🏻. Have a great one 👍🏻🙂🙋🏼♂️
Where did you buy that clamp ?
I just did a double check to see if I had put links in the video's description box. I did. So please try the links to see if they still sell the clamp. If you have no success, give me a yell. 👍🏽🤠 07/18/24
Im awake now lol that was loud. That new one is definitely quieter. We have no garage so we have a crowded spare bedroom and small shed lol. Im a weakling can't pick up heavy stuff much anymore. That box sure was damaged. Enjoy my friend
Thanks Jeanie. Hope you're staying out of this ugly heat. It's unbelieveably hot and humid here now. It's been like that for weeks. The new air compressor has been great and of course, much quieter. 👍🏽🤠
That's a really nice fan. Smart putting wheels on it. Enjoyed Don. Have a blessed Sunday
Since I put wheels on the fans, I've moved them to many different locations throughout the workshop with so much ease. Thanks for cheking out the video, Jeanie. Enjoy the week. Don 👍🏽🤠
What are the wheels you got, and where?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I bought the four blue wheels from Amazon. I originally purchased four wheels from Lowe's but I did not like them b/c each wheel required four bolts to attach to the fan base. It's only been a month that I've had the blue wheels on my HF fans and they are absolutely PERFECT 😁. I've had to shift my fans in the workshop at least 20 times since installing the wheels and now the process is a piece of cake. Here's an Amazon link for the 4" blue wheels www.amazon.com/dp/B0BHYQWFH9?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 Thanks again for watching, Keaton. Have a great upcoming weekend. 👍🏽🤠

Great to see again, Don great idea with the wheels.,
Thanks J, I bought a second Harbor Freight 30" floor fan for my workshop and they're great at what I need them to do but moving them around has taken a toll on me. However, I must give credit where credit is due. The wheel concept was not a Don invention. The original idea was conceived by other heavy floor fan owners who deal with the same issue. Appreciate your view and support. Please enjoy the remainder of your week my friend. Don
Amazing! I thought it might be a moth. I'm happy you found the information complete with pictures. Nice save Houndsman. ✌️💛🤗
Hey there girly. Yup, I did find out the type of caterpillar that it was and since then, have never seen one again. Thanks again. Don 👍🏽🤠
Nice set up ! Thanks for sharing what not to do, too😉. ✌️💛
Dubs, I made this water drinking barrel for a freind I met several years ago. He raises goats and the barrel now makes the goats more civil with one another. I didn't know that goats were so aggressive until the goat sheperd told me. If the goats know you, you're okay-fine but I guess it's like any animal that has a keeper that they know and feel safe around. Speaking of such, I need to check with this goat owner to see how his goats behave now that they have a drinking barrel. Thanks for watching, Dubs. 👍🏽🤠
Good job getting everything secure. I'm happy to read you didn't get much damage. I believe you mentioned a few trees toppling, and you got them taken care of pretty quickly. ✌️💛🤗 to you and the Mrs.
I haven't had any issues with the pigs. They know they have a good home. Yep, just a few trees toppled but I took care of them and then made sure the animals were doing well. Be well, my dear. 👍🏽🤠
Shoot, I didn't know I had missed so many videos!" Nice practice. Full watch. ✌️💛😊
Hahaha, that's funny, Dubs. I've done the same thing with several folks whom I'm Subbed and I missed a lot of vids they published. Hey Dubs, since this video, each of these young lads graduated from high school, finished college, and are now members of the U.S. military. Guess what, they're very proficient in firing their weapons. You can rest assure, these young men are NOT followers of this WOKE bullcrap that's going on today in every institution. Be good, girly 👍🏽🤠
Great to see you, Houndsman! I always enjoy watching you work on whatever project you have going on. ✌️💛🤗
And Dubs, I always enjoy having CZcams friends like you watch me do these projects. Your watching encourages me to make project videos. Thanks so much again. Be safe out there girly...but keep having fun. 🤗
Good fix Don ! I am looking for a fan like that myself.
I think you'll be pleased with this fan from Harbor Freight. Just realize that it is a bit loud but I use it in my workshop which is not quiet safe zone (haha). Bottom line, I think you'll enjoy the performance of this HF 30 inch floor fan. Take good care of yourself, Andy. Don 👍🏽🤠
We had one of those fans that we have used to keep the horses cool. In fact, we used to put it in the dairy barn when we milked and it was super hot. Made things much more comfortable. We sold the dairy comes in ‘86 and it became a fan for the horses. Last summer , our new mare knocked it over and busted the motor and bent the shroud severely. The whole thing went in the junk this spring after many years of trouble free service. You’re right about the with Don. Ours was homemade and the base by itself was well over 100 lbs. I didn’t even try to pick it up and carry it. I went and got one of the loader tractors and let it do the heavy lifting I must be getting old. I use my head now where I never used to! 😀
Ha, as I heard someone in the Corps say to use the bump between my shoulders for something more than a hat rack. Well, I finally did. The fan is super heavy and I got so tired of lugging it around using my heavy duty dolly. Ha, sounds like your horse might have tried to reposition the fan's airflow and got a bit too heavy-hooved with it. Gary, as much as I hate having to admit it, but age is advancing at a rapid pace. The bad part about it is that my strength is collapsing in my arms and a little in my legs.
Good morning Don. Good to hear from you again. Full watch and a thumbs up! 👍🏻👊🇺🇸
Thank you and bless you, my brother. Don
A little creative thinking and alteration get's the job done Don and eliminates the sore back!!😎👀
Wes, I definitely had to do something different b/c that heavy fan was getting the best of me. I was always fearful that the heavy fan was going to win and it did many times🤣 . Thank goodness for CZcams. I thought of the idea and found other YT'ers have already gone through the same backache, so I used their experience and voila, shared experiences! Hope you're slaying the fish and continuing your skinny boat adventures. See you on your next trip. Don 👍🏽🤠
Great idea, Don. Thanks for sharing. - Rick
Thanks for stopping by Rick. Don 👍🏽🤠
Long time no see :) Good video, brother
Hey there BK. Hope you're doing well. Not much going on here other than getting older and chopping off a lot of tree bark growing on my old bones (haha). Thanks much for stopping by and I'll see you cruising on another great new cool bike. Later my friend.
Hey Don. That's a nice beefy looking fan, I'm sure the wheels will be a very welcome addition. Be a lot more likely to use it if you can just roll it over and plug it in rather than have to go get the dolly to move it. I was kinda hoping you had bought non locking wheels and it was gonna roll away when you turned it on. I didn't think you were that dim, but I hoped you might have had a moment lol I try and keep everything in the garage on wheels if I can. Take care and have a great week
Hahaha, yup, I should have shown a video of the fan going haywire when the wheels aren't locked. Bruce, that did cross my mind and yes, I did turn my head to reposition the camera for a split second, and then my fan was rolling in its own path toward never-never land. That would have been one heck of a blooper vid. Alright my friend, take good care of yourself. Thanks for watching and the support. Don 👍🏽🤠
Nice fix for moving the fan around my friend. Good to see you again. Later
Hey there Mech. It surely is a whole lot easier than lugging that dang fan around with a dolly. Take good care of yourself. Don 👍🏽🤠

Thanks GeigerFarm for stopping by. Hope you're getting a sufficient amount of rain for your fields and for your animals. It's been drier than a bone here lately (SE NC). Of course, after mentioning that, it will probably turn into a dang monsoon season for several weeks🤣. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🤠

Why do you and 90% of the people with a quick hitch leave the locking arms in the unlocked position to attach the implement.That defeats the whole purpose.
Thanks for the view/comment. I surely would appreciate it if you would create a video demonstrating how the quick-hitch can attach to a ballast or three-point implement w/o the safety latches being unlocked. Maybe you know of a quickhitch that can do what you're eluding to. If so, please share. Thanks 🙄

Rewatching this and I am brining my bike in for a lot of routine services I had not done of late.... I could do a few of the tasks myself, but I have a number of things I want done that I just cannot do easily without more proper tools (toy!) and such.
Ha, I know exactly what you mean, Ray 😊 . I prefer doing bike work myself but some of the tasks that were once simple now tend to be a challenge either in complexity, or sometimes a physical challenge. My body will not withstand the bending, stooping, and lifting that I enjoyed during my youth. Since my stroke, I've had to re-learn how to manipulate heavy objects in order to support them myself without falling over but that's the beauty of doing the work yourself. Only you know how much work it truly takes to complete a task. Thanks much for the video rewatch and positive comment. Later Don 👍🏽🤠 05/31/24
The old one woke up the cat on my desk! LOL! When you hit this one, the now awake cat simply looked at it! Looking forward to the update! Another LIKE for your video!
Thanks Ray. Please take good care of yourself and say hey to Miss Demeanor and your family of cats. Hopefully your cats are doing well. My friend had four cats and from my visiting him each Sunday morning, I've learned quite a bit about cat behavior. One of his cats (a tuxedo) took me in as its friend and the owner said he never did that with anyone except me. He said to me, "Don, a cat will determine who it wants to be around and the cat apparently chose me. take that as an honor. Don 👍🏽🤠
I've been considering for some time which canopy I wanted on my GC1710. Having a backhoe, I can't imagine a canopy more suitable. As we are also in SE NC, there is little you can do during the summer without protection from the sun... Thanks for the insight... BTW, where did you purchase yours?
Thanks for the comment, Gary. I purchased my canopy on-line directly from Curtis Canopy Industries and as you can see from the video, it wasn't too difficult to install. Ha, I did manage to put a dent in my canopy after about a year by not paying attention to what I was doing. You must always remember that you have a canopy on your tractor or you too will learn the hard way, Haha 😁. It only takes one 'Oh-chit!' to undo all the goodness that it provides. I will admit, I almost forgot a second time while driving near some widely-stretched branches. I guess I ought to give an update since I've had my canopy on my GC1710. I definitely love having the canopy. Strangely enough, I've only used my canopy once with my backhoe b/c it was so dang aggrivating connecting/disconneting the backhoe. That's just my take on it. Since my stroke, the simplest of things has become a challenge. Thanks for watching and your comment. Enjoy your week. Don 👍🏽🤠 05/15/24
Wow it's so quiet!
Moo, I don't know why companies didn't just make quieter compressors from the beginning. You should not have to search for health-friendly appliances. With all the concerns today about destroying the world, how about not destroying a person's hearing? Take it easy my friend and thanks for stopping by. 👍🏽🤠
Nice...
Thanks for watching and the positive comment, 1945jlee. Have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🤠
Nice set up. How big is your property foe the backstop?
Redman4u2njoy, thanks for watching and commenting. My property is slightly over 45 acres and there's another 261+ acres of wooded land that wraps around my land. My new range allows for a 200 - 250 yard shot. I've been doing so many other projects lately which has kept me from using my rifle-pistol range as much as I'd like. Have a fine week. 👍🏽🤠 04/24/24
Wondering how your setup is working a year later? Would you change anything? I have thought of doing one similar but had the thought of putting down one or 2 layers on the front to hold the sand in.
@Mtbambeno, so far the range has held up quite well. I don't throw as much lead down range as I thought I would but I made a few mods to the backstop to satisfy a few querks just for my liking. I did put 1 RR tie across the front to hold the clay-sand inside if it started to slide forward, however, it never-ever slid forward. Even with rain, the rain did not make the clay-sand break down and wash out. Overall, the build was a success and is still holding up. I need to do an update on many different projects to show viewers how several different builds I've done are still holding up well. Thanks much for asking and have a great week. 👍🏽🤠 04/16/24
Isnt water going to leak through your wood cover!?
Excellent question, Catherine. The rain water does not impact the performance of the septic system nor does it negatively affect the wooden cover. The wooden covers were built only to immediately locate the concrete access port holes directly beneath the wooden cover. Before I built these wooden covers, the concrete port holes were once buried by dirt and grass over the course of the years and I had to use a metal probe to locate where the septic access lids were. Now all I do is lift the wooden cover and voila (I immediately have access to the heavy concrete lids). If you get a chance, take a look at this video czcams.com/video/82X578px1xs/video.html It was my first time having to do a messy and dirty sewage filter cleaning. Thanks for watching and commenting. Have a great week. 👍🏽🤠 04/10/24
So I don't have to replace the cylinder on my J&S jack.
Matthew, I got my bottle jack to work for a short while then eventually modified the valve screw that regulates the fluid flow into/out of the jack cylinder. Since that modification, the fluid holds under pressure. It will be a year next month. Bottom line, a replacement cylinder would be necesary. If I had to buy one, I found a bottle jack at O'Reilly's that could fit in the J&S lift w/o too much modification. The J&S motorcycle lift is great product but their bottle jack is the weak link and I don't think you can get anything from J&S any longer. Though J&S claimed their motorcycle lift was USA made, it may have been but I think the bottle jacks they used were from China (just my opinion). I'll have to check and see if I can find which bottle jack O'Reilly's was selling that could replace the J&S bottle jack cylinder but right now, I'm still using the jack that I showed in the video.
Matthew, i was rummaging around and found the bottle jack that I mentioned could easily replace the original J&S bottle jack that came with the J&S motorcycle lift. The bottle jack can be purchased at O'Reilly's Auto store for much less than what J&S charges for their bottle jack. Here's a part number and a link for the bottle jack from O'Reilly's that should fit the J&S motorcycle lift. Part Number: PT34126. Link: www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/power-torque-tools/tools---equipment/lift-equipment/hydraulic-bottle-jacks/5120b48250d4/power-torque-tools-6-ton-bottle-jack/ptt0/pt34126 Hope this helps, Matthew.

Watch the finger tip location, had me cringing ...
Thanks @osi2484 for watching and commenting. There's pressure in the hydaulic line which does not allow the coupler to easily connect. The force applied to the coupler does not and will not mash one's fingers. Though it appears that it would sling shut and pinch one's finger, it will only clamp shut with a very limited amount of pressure and will not even pinch the finger. Applying pressure by the tool to the lines is like trying to connect two magnets with the same polarity. (i.e. two positive ends or two negative ends). There's little-to-no snapping pressure to crush a finger. This clamp-connector saved a tremendous amount of time and frustration connecting pressurized hoses with absolutely no injuries or mashed fingers. Again, thanks so much for watching and commenting. 👍🏽🤠 03/18/24
Great build. Thanks for the walk through. I'll be building one for my LS. Love this. Really like the extra pipe. Could hang free weight plates on it if you needed a bit more weight.
Brett, that's definitely a good idea as an option for adding extra weight. So far, the ballast has been a perfect weight and the compact size makes it easy to maneuver in tight areas. If you build a ballast, I hope you make a video and post on You Tube. Thanks much for stopping by and commenting. Have a fine weekend. 👍🏽🤠 03/08/24
Crazy loud. Nice new compressor
I agree Josh. That pancake air compressor literally could damage your hearing if you stayed near it for an extended period of time but the quietness of my new California Air compressor is remarkably quieter and vibrates less. Josh, I hope you and your lovely family are doing well. I guess you and Autum will be planning another adventurous trip to places unknown. Be safe and keep having fun. Don 👍🏽🤠
Excellent build, and great ideas! Do you keep the rain barrel covered? Another way to do this so the animals can't pull it out, is to put one pipe all the way through, with a nipple on each end. Then you would cut big holes in the middle of the pipe to let the water into the pipe.
Thanks for watching and commenting. I haven't had any issues with the watering system, however, the pigs enjoy pushing on the water barrel just for something to do (especially the boarlings). I must make another barrel for my other pig pen to allow for more water for the kunes. I like your idea and may try something like that. Also, your idea will always keep the pipe from being pulled out. When one of those pipes come out of the barrel, water gushes all over then there's a mess. Thanks again for the excellent idea @truthstands4ever. Have a great weekend. 👍🏽🤠 02/23/24
Great job off the list and glad you have a new air compressor.. you werent kidding thats very loud! Quieter one much better
Hey there Kate and Tig 🙂 . Yep, the new air compressor is much quieter and I'm surprised that I waited so long to replace the noisy pancake compressor. The older pancake compressor worked well but the noise was enough to give you a headache after enduring the loudness reverberate throughout the garage. Hope you guys are enjoying your adventurous travels. 2024 will mark a new year of exploration for you both, I'm sure. Thanks again for stopping by. I look forward to sharing your trips through your videos. Be well and see you at a local pub. Don 🍺🍹 😁 01/30/24
The bridge over my creek is pretty much washed up and there's no driving to the back 60 acres on my farm. My brother gave me a 21" galvanized culvert to put in a new bridge. Thanks for the video, heckuva project I've got coming this summer but this was incredibly helpful.
Yes Sir, you will have a lot of work ahead of you. I just checked my culvert bridge two weeks ago and the bridge is still sturdy as day one. Please realize, I have water that flows into the ditch but it is not a flowing stream. If there was a running stream, I would have used cement in addition to the wooden boards for the headwalls. The cement would stand a better chance if there was running water. You do not want water to get between the walls of your culvert pipe and the packed dirt/stone because once water finds a little pathway, it enlarges the opening and then all your material washes away. I hope you video the entire process and place on CZcams. Thanks much for stopping by and commenting. Good luck. 👍🏽🤠 01/24/24
@@houndsmanone4563 Yup and thanks. Same brother, also a master mason, helps me with advice and I do have a running creek and was intending to use stones embedded in concrete all the way up the headwalls on both end of the culvert. P.S. I am not a 'Sir'. ;) Thank you again! I will attempt to film as much as I can.
Sorry Ironmaiden, I should have paid more attention to the channel name. When executing your build, have fun and enjoy the moment. I think the embedded stone in concrete would look great. I've always liked that look. It reminds me of our older historic homes up in PA around Gettysburg. 👍🏽🤠 @@ironmaiden3751
@@houndsmanone4563 Yep, my farmhouse is very old too, it should all tie in quite nicely. Thanks again!
