  • This week I'm back in the shed trying to get another order out the door but the workshop seems to have other ideas.
    Follow our carnival ride restoration here: • I Bought a Carnival Ri...
    For the last 20 years I've been collecting equipment that makes small scale manufacturing possible. Sometimes referred to as boutique manufacturing, I've set up a number of workstations that enable us to turn out commercial quality electronic products in a 150 Square foot home based manufacturing space. The age of this equipment sometimes creates its own challenges, but then again, sometimes I think I enjoy tinkering on them more than actually using them for their intended purpose.
    We are currently building a number of specialized audio products for amusement parks

    These production runs in the shop take time away from our carnival ride restorations, but they also help fund them. Double Edged Sword. Check out our restoration projects here: czcams.com/play/PL9JRE2uksm9tonX17TZt38K6RH2EnDNf1.html

    I learned some things. I have a shed machine shop full of old tools.

    Watching Sleeperdude!!!! Love it! This seems like a mirror of my stuff, except I don't have an electronics factory in my garage. I do have stuff that breaks. Stuff that breaks for no reason. Stuff that breaks without me touching it and I have to fix that stuff no matter why it breaks! LOL

      I've always got CZcams playing in the shop and I have a wide variety of interests. Never know what you're gonna see in the background! lol

    Some days your the Louisville slugger and some days your the ball. But I know you will work through it. Good video.

      That's pretty clever, you should dust off one of those guitars and write a song!

    Hey Pete I haven’t seen or heard from you …. Just checking in on you … I love your channel and I do look forward on seeing your videos… take care friend. 😊

  • @notmuch_23

    I _do_ like the carnival ride restoration videos, but this micro-production for electronic products really interests me too.

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      Glad to hear it. There are only so many hours in the day so if I want to make a video, I pretty much have to make it about whatever I'm working on at that point in time. And, of course, the ride restoration has stretched on way too long because of it so I'm glad to hear there is still support out there! Thanks!

    Makes me feel better about myself when I see a genius like Pete make a simple, dumb mistake. (Just push that back. It'll be good) 😊

    You keep a lot calmer than I do in those situations. I did think it was 'Jedi' Pete when you showed up with hood up but I'm guessing you were cold in there with no heat.
    Your videos are better than TV so I always look forward to a new one. Keep them coming Pete !!

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      There were a few choice swear words when I realized I had been sold a returned unit but I like to keep it family friendly here. Thanks for watching!

  • @AndrewHelgeCox
    @AndrewHelgeCox Před 4 měsíci

    I know the ride restoration is your passion but for me at least, I'm enjoying this kind of videos at least as much. I actually found you from small parts organisation videos actually.

    Beautiful machine. Wish I had one like that. Wish I was closer to help out

  • @envisionelectronics
    @envisionelectronics Před 4 měsíci

    As a maker/small business owner that does similar type of work but also has an interest in amusement rides I’d like to see more of it. Even if you did it on a second channel.

  • @dananderson3077

    Was wondering...hope better. In Gibtown for maybe a few hours..great episode!

    Install a mini-split A/C unit and make a video about it :)

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      I have considered this and it may be in the future. Our AC from the last two summers is not really doing the job.

    I wish I'd known about your products a few years ago when I was still working in haunted houses.

    Always amazing seeing the assembly line, very nice pick´n place machine! For the drive, I bet the driving circuit of the breaking FET has a problem too...

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      Thanks, I believe it is something like that as well. I haven't traced the circuit yet- I'm hopeful it leads to the logic card rather than being embedded in the power module. Time will tell.

    Action packed video, glad to hear that you are feeling better!

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci +1

      Yes, much. I was never really bad, a few minor symptoms- but the big issue was it just stripped all my motivation. Glad that is over with.

  • @tomvoncharon6359
    @tomvoncharon6359 Před 4 měsíci

  • @marios2liquid
    @marios2liquid Před 4 měsíci

    wait.. i use fancy alpha metals SAC305 solder paste and i need to refrigerate it and manage it a lot. if i don't, the flux evaporates and i get solder balls and other issues.. i thought yours (QC10) also likes to be stored at 5Celcius. Unless your shop is the refrigerator 😂

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      That is GC 10 that I use. It is shelf stable at room temperature for one year.

  • @cdoublejj
    @cdoublejj Před 4 měsíci

    you checked out chinese diesel heaters? they have a seperate exhaust so no fumes and run more than diesel. i've been learning about alternative and cheap heat lately.

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci

      my only concern with them is that we heat the shop 24/7. I wouldn't be comfortable leaving that on when I'm not around. I have thought of trying them for additional heat while I'm there. Like, say we keep the shop at 60 degrees all the time and when I'm there use the diesel to run it up to a more comfortable working temperature. That could work.

    There is always something to fix, isn't it?

    • @PeteRondeau
      @PeteRondeau  Před 4 měsíci +1

      This is true. And the older the equipment gets, the more often it needs attention.

  • @dananderson3077

      yes, just haven't made it a priority yet.
