lol. Yea, sometimes a vision of a bigger picture project needs to come to mind. Too often my mind goes to panels and more panels and if I can’t fit them in that, I just save for some future brain storm. That’s also why I love watching other people’s builds or comments in this video series. Because they open my eyes to what I did not see on my own.

If there ever was a a game of “Greebles storytelling “ you would be the all time winner. I love the clever and unique uses for the Greebles wrapped up in a story that you seem to weave so easily. So Rad !!!

Admittedly, yes, that can be a critical aspect of the job, which can be daunting if you have never done it before. This was my daughter’s first time. She was nervous, but did fine. I think a spotter helps a lot. But saving a few dollars on an Oil change isn’t worth damage to your car. So it may be better to take it to a mechanic. But at least you know going into it, what’s involved and how much it costs.

I agree. Totally interesting shapes on the case side. In the inside it has very similar parts to things we’ve taken apart many times before…even though their uses may not even be food related. I find that interesting to see how the mechanisms and electronics are used in various devices

Yes, I did a portable battery charger about 4 weeks ago. Lots of Greebles greatness therein. And I think converting the look of your ring doorbell is genius. Instead if people avoiding it, you’ll have everyone turning into it to check it out…and thus getting a perfect mugshot of qmy would be porch pirate

I am so glad to hear you say that. I can get a bit Boba Fett crazy and see it in everything. So I am not the only one that save slave 1 in the pizza maker. The landing platform is totally a great ESB touch (or episode 2 Jan go Fett scene). I love that idea. And I have never been one to shy away away from darker props (like my Skywalker hands display). I think the headstone idea is very clever. A little arebesh on the face. A few LEDs lining the edge of the top (maybe asymmetrically). Maybe some armor plating to match slave one. Awesome idea !!!

Yea, a lot more than I expected. I like the canisters and pumps the most

Your welcome I too find that doing oil changes yourself ensure it was done right and at an affordable price. From all my years, I’ve found the simplest thing to keep a car alive forever is oil changes (and scheduled mx).

I’m pleased to hear it has helped you. You should find this one straight forward. No curve balls with this one

Yea, once I saw Aedo’s idea, that was the only thing I could see. He very clever. And thanks Shawn…I try to find cool stuff to share

The innards are what really caught me too. All the hoses and wicked cool canisters. The bacta tank idea is cool. I could totally see it as an access panel on the tank. Or a med tech station as you suggested (maybe even in aliens world with some cool emoticon stickers on it)

Dang Dude, you are way too good at this!!! I love that idea. I was thinking merely as a background detail for depth. But that’s a whole prop. I totally see it now. Sweet idea

I agree Dave. That is cool. And if the lighting is strategically placed it might give some cinematic shadows…all ESB brooding type of lighting

Love these ideas!!! I could only think of an alien habitat like Tony makes. But drew a blank after that. However, I love your galaxies edge cooking roaster idea

Leaking?

I really like that idea. Making a ship never dawned on me. I guess I’ve been trapped into the hamster wheel of panel making. 😂

Totally ! I see the shape of that droid in book of boba fett at the Jabba palace

I 100% did not expect the coolness within that red housing. The heat sink parts of the gear housing was one of my favorite parts. But so much if it was absolute gold. The spring assembly was super cool. I just need to get a good cleaner to get all the oil grime off. Then again…it might just stain the mdf in a good way upon assembly. 😂

Yea, he one was an air fryer. I think led implementation would make it pop. I liked the cool depth the pieces did. Whether for a diorama or background piece in panel cutout…there is definitely potential. Wait till next week. I have an item that looks so boring…until you open it up. Tons of goodies

Everything I used is in the video description. Hope that helps

Yes it did help!

Is there a video of the break pads replacement for this car?

I’m glad. Have a great day

I have not done one. But I am sure there is one out there. If I see one, I’ll let you know

Agreed , I think that would be cool. I really liked that fan blade thing too…but can’t quite figure out how to use it without it coming out too mad max…and OSHA starts calling

Dude, those are all Gold ideas. I’ve seen some creators (even Star Wars…I think in a ship that drops troops) use them to great effect. I’ve taken a metal shop heater apart for this channel before. And you are 💯 correct, they are wicked cool. You ever post these finds? If so, where. I usually go to the fb Greebles page. So many awesome finds people show off

Thank you Brian

Thank you James

Yea, this puppy was brand new. So I’m glad it at least had cool Greebles. And Happy Hunting…I hope you post what you find !!!

Awesome idea. Yea, those shells are awesome. Great for recessed panels. Or nice bump outs if using just half at a time. Once the 5 ton battery was out, I thought it would be a cool trooper backpack. Maybe binge watching Bad Batch lately contributed to that thought. 😂

Supplies: Oil Filter: - Many can be used, but I used the WIX WL10514 from O’Reilly Auto Parts Store Oil: - Use a 0w-16 Full Synthetic Oil. - 5.5 quarts are required, but make sure you check your dipstick to ensure proper fill levels. First clean the dipstick, then recheck. The oil should be visible between the 2 round detents on the end of the dipstick.

@@garlandsworkshop thank you for this information , but i use 5w30 it good for 122F wether it good or can we use 5w40????

The manual says that for outside temps of 120 degrees, 10w30, 5w20 or 5w30 will work. But when the weather cools down, those may have too much viscosity.

Thanks Dave. Coming from you, I take that is big praise. Thx Brother

I appreciate you taking the time to hang out and catch up on some vids. And thx for the praise Dave. I’ve been closely watching you remake galaxies edge this year. Love the attention to detail. You are rocking the fusion tools and 3D printing!!!

You are very welcome

Yea, hobbies…no matter the type can accrue big budgets. So keeping things in the low budget to start wasn’t always my Modus Operandi, . But it’s how I roll now.

Yea, a lot of 1970’s and newer stuff is built that way. But don’t dismiss this beauty just yet. It has inspired me for not just one build, but two. Super excited on this find…more to come. Thx so much for this 💎

Thank you so much my friend !!!

Yea, I seem to be more attached to items that I have sourced all the Greebles. Which is 90% of the time. This one was extra special because my wife found it for me. I’m pleased it turned out Now time to look for more to build from my collection

😂 😂. Yea, you don’t need to get killed over a projector …however, one long spa weekend away should afford you the time for her not to notice….yes, I know…I live dangerously. Probably why everything that comes up missing makes every project I’ve ever worked on as number one suspect to the crime

I considered that, but like you said, the filter sits awkwardly. And since I was sharing this to the internet…I didn’t want people doing that and then coming for me because oil spilt all over them or their driveway. 😂 Excellent catch though.

Yea, there is always more to add. Time to move onto a new project

It is almost therapeutic just tinkering in the shop taking something apart. Finding Greebles is just an added perk

I’m pleased to hear you liked the build. And yea, it’s not an Earthly HUD so to speak…so thanks for playing along with the stretch of imagination. As for the connections, you are right of course. Clips are easy and provide a good connection. But like any maker…we tend to lean to what we know and have. I have friends who only use jigsaws for cuts, where I prefer table saws and routers. In another video u changed it up by using the Wago connectors in my empire panel from a water sprinkler box. It made for quick work. Thanks for watching. Cheers

I didn’t set out to make an ad, but I can see how it can be viewed that way. However, as I reflect…the video short in respect to the topic at hand, it provided info and was persuasive in the value of purchasing things. Sadly, I get no proceeds from any purchase. I only offer this info as a means to share things I found valuable. Thank you for watching. Hope I sold you on the value of breadboard accessories. Was there a topic you would have liked to see or more in depth?

😂

Those all sound like awesome finds. Foam packing is always a score. I haven’t seen a commercial heater, but I have taken apart a commercial building boiler. Way cool As for this one, ai already have ideas for a fun build…but may have to postpone that so I can finish the video editing on my current build I just finished. And as for Greebles… will always be in the lookout. However I want to present content that is ground I haven’t traveled already. So finding newer free things to take apart is more challenging at this point. But for now, my garage is full of a few more baubles to take apart and I will share soon

@@garlandsworkshop Yeah the foam packing that came along with my NZXT tower is interesting for sure. It's not high density like the pink foam stuff but has knock out areas where the case had access to the ports on the mother board and the front. Maybe if you know someone in a computer business they might have something like that around. One day I will have enough time to actually put something together, lol. Keep posting.

I have come across a lot of tv and stereo foam. Even though I purchased a sheet of XPS foam years ago….i keep using the EPS foam. Using grout, plater of Paris or even just by itself with only latex paint. I have a shed full of it. As of late…I just like using them to make galaxies edge type rock surrounds for panels I make. There really is no bounds to its use…only limits to imagination I guess

I’ll have to check in some setting to make sure the notifications are pushing. But yes, I am still at it. For the most part a video a week or two. Another electronics one comes out July 1st. And there should be a build video and another hunting for Greebles episode coming up very soon. And lastly, I post extra notifications on my Instagram and channel Facebook page for every video, in case those are easier for you and others to see. Thank you for watching and posting all your comments…it means a lot. Cheers

Coming from a person with your credentials and skills , that is high praise. I appreciate it Dave.

Thank you so much Dave

Thank you Kelly. I appreciate it

I’m happy to hear that Shawn. I plan on doing more of these in the future

Thank you. I try my best to keep improving and expanding my skills in this relatively new hobby. I can see advantages that come with the 3D model, print and paint method. Maybe one day I’ll try to learn that, but the old school way will always be my first go to methods. Creature of habit I guess. I’m glad others like you enjoy it as well

Thx for the information. I love using the limited medical baubles I have used so far. But, based on your info, I think I need to double my efforts to investigate more medical items. Probably need to find the right keywords for searching online thanks again !!!

Thank you. The hopes is to create a thoughtful path that is easy to follow…even from episode to episode. But be succinct in delivery yet fun. These few episodes I have made have been the hardest to date because I want to earnestly ‘get it right’. Thank you for the feedback. It means a lot
