Amazing idea, I am absolutely stealing. Ty sir!

Looks good Alec. Remington 700 BDL. I’ve got one in 30-06. 1985 model. Had an ADL version in 22-250 with STD barrel but someone ran off with it one night from my home. Anyway, great job in fitting that butt plate! Thanks for sharing

I was skeptical at first, but great video. Well done.

Love the video!!!

Great Little Cabin ,can't wait for the Next one ......Good Job Alec

Hi Alec This is your "Man Cave" in the back 40 ,in the states they would be installing a moonshine still. Or perhaps The windmill ranch Air B&B. So many possibilities. It does look great, you showed the sides panels interlocking ends and sides, Do you also use nails or glue to keep them together or is it just the weight of the boards above? Add a beer fridge and a TV your guests (or children) will never leave. Take care Owen m

Looking forward to this series!

Wow!!

Great looking cabin Alec. Looking forward to the next installment sir. Thanks

I love this guy! Great attitude and personality

Good tip! toolless setup is so much more convenient!

Nice job my friend

Would have liked to seen the process of the wood putty repair of the stock.

Great Video Alec ,Keep them Coming ,Good Job .

I got the same model myself. Ive burned myself lm it 3 times. I didn't rush to tbe ER i just Said fu** it and carried on. Im 60 by the way. I have 15 steam engine of all types of makes and models.

I got a new battery and it die from me just trying to start it it was turning over fast but then then more I try to start it the weaker the battery got and the time befor that I was riding it and the battery die on me out of nowhere I need help

Thanks for the video. You are awesome. Take care

Great Video Alec

The step is north of $3C. I use a $20 HD plastic step stool kept at the tailgate with a couple $25 Tractor Supply ratcheting load bars. No link to HD load bar!

Pretty slick. Now we need an “ in action” video of you backing up to each trailer and hooking up! 😊

I have a B&W of similar design and I really love it. And yes, I do have a trailer that high. It’s a custom special for vintage farm displays.

Hello sir

I have two of those welders, one I found at a garage sale for $15,00. the other was sitting on the side of the road with a free sign on it. Both needed new power cables and welding leads. The work great and last for ever.

This was supposed to be a reply to a comment left by somebdy else and I accidently created a new comment. Thanks for sharing the information abd great editing of the video. If the requirements to design the motor included making it simple to work on then it would be. Engineers aren't always asked to make it simple to work on and sometimes it's quite the contrary. There's a reason they have service technicians who have specilialty tools. They can complete jobs quicker than the hours you may get billed for. They can also sell the specialty tool to the DIY guy and make money.

Hi Alec There is a reason that Forklifts are the most common piece of equipment around the world, they are just so useful and versatile. Many times I have used a forklift as an adjustable height work surface, One thing that comes with age is wisdom why bend down when you can lift up? Keep an eye on the straps the cheaper ones are not made to the same standards as the certified for lifting ones. Take care Owen m

Any concern standing under the tractor’s loader in the event of a hydraulic line blowing and it suddenly dropping? I’ve never seen it happen and probably very unlikely. Been advised by mechanic friend to put loader cylinder lockout in place in case of a failure. Some times I do…. other times I don’t depending how long I’ll be under it. Thanks

Thank you Sir. Great way to measure!

Where can I find it?

Great video learned a lot in a short time

Good one, can't wait to try this at the Camp to impress my Wife LOL Thanks Alec

Have you tried an iPhone and use The Measure app uses augmented reality (AR) technology to turn your device into a tape measure? Just wondering. The math is great to show thanks

Hi Alec That is a neat trick, I wish in my math classes in school they had done real world experiments with those trig formulas then I might have paid attention. I just don't care what Y divided by X plus the square root of pi equals Z minus my shoe size. I thought you were going to sight the top with a 45 degree protractor then measure the distance to the base, I guess there is always more than one way to "skin a buck" take care Owen m

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S. way back when. The timber cruisers in the logging industry of that area used that exact method of measuring trees. It works well and is pretty darned accurate.

Although I appreciate your effort, I would’ve just set the measuring tape on the top of the flag and just rise the flag up. Much Easier and more precise.

Looks good I’d like to get those plans

Still love mine.

They make filters that fit into these T baffles now, pretty cool. My mother in law has a failing leach field so im trying to keep all that gunk out of her new one im putting in. Her old one is completely full of black bio mat.

…and you go get a drink. I love this guy!

I'd be careful about putting that thing down while it's still running. If it contacts the surface or something else it's gonna throw itself around unpredictably. I'm talking from experience. Love your vids Alec. We're about the same age and I only have a few surface scars thankfully.

What kind of socket did you have on the torque wrench

Always enjoy your videos and sometimes pick up a good practical tip. Thanks

Yep those are vernier calipers. Or we jokingly call them “very nears” 😊 you successfully did what we call “ measuring over wire”. Thanks for sharing sir

Hi Alec your machinist friend got that idea from thread cutting on a lathe. You use 3 small wires to measure the depth of the thread you are cutting then compare it to an existing bolt of that pitch to see how much more to take off. Btw you are using a vernier not a micrometer they do the same thing only the latter is more precise. Neat trick though. Take care Owen m

Haha, watch till the end, hahaha

alway's Happy to see your Video's thanks Alec .

Enjoyed the video. I have a Bush Hog brand 5' cutter for which I have two sets of blades. I alternate blade sets about every 50 hours, dressing the blades I remove at my leisure so they are ready to install as necessary. I use an angle grinder with a flap disc, going slowly, and have gotten good results without ruining the temper of the blades. My bolts are specified to torque at 600 ft-lbs. My method which has served me well for twenty years is to use a five-foot cheater bar with a breaker bar and stop at OOMPH!

thks alec

Hes Blessed to have you

Thank you sir. Also, I love the life resume at the end of the video. Now that's experience I respect.

LOVE practical advice like this. It's like having an experienced neighbor/mentor who's "been there, don't that," so I don't have to. I wish you were my neighbor - I think if avoid a lot of frustration learning things the hard way. Keep on keepin' on!
