Wranglerstar the 3rd thing granddad had was a compound miter saw/ chop saw
Thanks for mentioning me about the LocTite Cody, your all class buddy.
#3 was a drill press. Just my guess.
The third was a drill press
what song is in the intro
"All I did was tighten up that bolt a little bit and very carefully." Hits it with the impact like he's in a Nascar pit crew!
Lmao
My thoughts exactly lol 😂
@Nedd Flanders He knows what he’s doing.
@@derekg5674
Yeah, if by knows you mean dosnt know.
Its not the impact hammer that i was confused by, i mean it really shouldnt break from it, its the fact he turned it on without realizing he just loosened the other side, if it actually broke in half there could have been some catastrophic failure there.
😂😂
I watched the whole vid and i'm not even looking for a grinder
I wasn't until I saw this video, now I feel something ismissing in life :O
Thanks wranglerstar, I've now seen the light!
Profile
I wasn't looking for a grinder and I watched the video and read your comment.
Me too.
Now I gotta get one.
Me to And now I've to get one 🙄
The shafts thread in with one side being reversed threads. Your impact gun loosened the shaft threads, starting the grinder tightened them back up.
Good thinking. Open the thing uptrow locktite in.
I was just going to say that, did the same thig my self
"The right tool for the right job". If you spend 50 hours a week working metals and making a living from your trade, the Baldor is worth every penny and it will pay for itself over and over. If your a handy homeowner who needs to grind and sharpen and remove some rust once and a while, the WEN should last you a life time with a little care.
Like my Grandpa always said...."Ya get what ya pay for"✌️
The third thing granddad had on his workbench was one of those dancing hula girls.
😆👍
@@franknada8235 ya LOL My grand ma would have beat him with that...(she was roman catholic)
@@brianmartin7964 Good for her!!!
shout out to hula girls
Haha my grandad had a hula girl made out of wood. 15yrs since he passed and a had forgotten. Thanks for the memories 👍
This whole channel is a ploy to justify to his wife buying the most expensive tools for his workshop.
Genius though.
I wish I thought of that, that way I don't have to fight every time I buy something, lol
I just went straight to the source of the problem and got unmarried. You start noticing a lot of problems that you had before start vanishing. "I can do this now." "I'm just gonna leave and not have to tell anybody where or when I'll be home." I can take extra time... all the time I want to do anything and not have it be such a buzzkill if I don't finish in time. Actually, I don't even know what that feels like anymore because I don't ask myself how long is this going to take me. I'm done when I'm done. I don't have to argue. I don't feel like a disappointment because I realized I'm not. I was disappointed. I'm not advocating divorce. I'm just saying it's so much better than being married.
@@ohms5054 Sounds like you just had a bad marriage.
No offense.
I've been in the same relationship for 10 years and marriage for 4 of them.
Also "not have to tell anybody where or when I'll be home" sounds more like *nobody cares if I'm gone* which is kinda sad mostly.
Hope you can find a relationship or person more suited to you though in the future.
@@Dangerpurple I was in the same relationship from 21 until 32 years , married for two. She was a good person and I may be exaggerating. For some reasons, marriage changed things. I'm just glad we didn't have kids to put through that. I had immediately jumped into another relationship for four years, bought a house, got engaged, she comes home and doesn't think she loves me anymore. Oh well. Single for the first time in my life for the past few years has helped me break out of autopilot mode. I'm glad for you though. Some marriages just work out better than others. It's not that they don't care that you're gone, you just haven't given them reason to worry. I wish you and your family the best.
Isn’t it genius!?
A drill pres is the third item needed as a minimum of three items for a small shop. By way, HF offers the same grinder but with shields for 19.00 USD cheaper. love your videos. I don't comment much on any of them because they are good. Thanks for the good videos.
I said anvil but drill press is prob it
“All I did was tighten it very carefully”
*impact go dakdakdakdak*
Not witchcraft. The threads on the left side of a bench grinder are reverse. when you used the impact gun on the wire wheel the mass of the grinding wheel wanted to stay still and the friction between it and the nut and washer was enough to loosen the nut when the torque hit the shaft. The threads are reversed on the left side so they will self tighten. That is why the problem resolved itself when you turned the motor on.
My thoughts exactly. Who ever wired a 3 phase grinder wrong knew that right away when in the best case scenario had to retighten the nuts rather than pickup grinding wheel pieces from the floor
Beat me to it BladeWorks.
this also has a benefit of ensuring that the nut isn't over-torqued (in my experience last time I changed a stone). Those loose/flappy gloved fingers really shouldn't be anywhere near that wheel...
@@AN-kg4ei yep, I was thinking the same thing. Especially with the wire wheel.
Seems like he should have KNOWN that. I mean, he already has one.
The third thing he had was a calendar with naked women, probably Rosie the riveter.
I thought of a drill of some sort, maybe a drill press, but yeah a calendar would make more sense
yea... my dad has those... bruhh...
if Rosie looks right, I'll rivet her!
nah thats on the wall so you could see it from every angle
Yeah pillar drill or bench/band saw maybe
I’m going to take a wild guess that the third thing was a drill press
Good guess
Since its an old timer, im going to guess file.
BEER.
Everyone is close but it's the friends you make along the way
that’s what my buddies dad had when he left the garage behind.
Bench grinder, vice 2x (vert. and hori.), and a drill press.
You're teaching me everything I wish my dad and uncle never taught me and I appreciate it more than you know. I'm a very grateful subscriber.
I’m here to learn because my dad left the world and my uncle never taught me. Basically I’m retarded.
I lucked out and found a returned Delta 8" variable speed bench grinder at Lowes for $39.00. The paint was chipped in a few spots on the cast iron base.
I have that grinder. It's been fine.
Just a quick bench Comment, I mount my bench grinders on a 2 x 4 that way I can set them in any vice in my shop that I choose, And not using up any permanent bench space.
joe Rogers that’s a good idea
I mounted mine on a piece of plywood and put it on an old Black & Decker Workmate when needed.
Sweet idea !!!
years ago I had an antique grinder, actually fit a kanoe seat swivel under it, with like a hundred ball bearings. Used valve springs to make the depth top side adjustable and a small cabinet door lock with holes at various favorite positions. Left it behind for the next tenant it was so well excuted.
Genius if space is at a premium,
"Unless you're walking a man's shoes, you really dont know what fits well for him"
Now, thats a good phrase right there
My first cheap bench grinder was a dual shaft motor from an old washing machine and two arbor adapters from Sears. No switch, just a plug in power cord. No tool rest or shields, just open grind rock and wire brush. I used that grinder for years, until I could afford a store bought one. I leader end safety and how to make things work the hard way. A lot has changed since those days.
Funny I see this comment.
Me and my father did the same thing last year to clean some large bolts and sharpen chisels. At the time it seemed perfect, but when I finally got a real grinder I quickly realized the danger I was playing with when using that ole washer motor. No guards, no lights, no covers.
BUT, you can't beat those old days with your pops in the garage making things. Wouldn't trade those days for anything in this life.
I'd say drill press. The main things people will be doing is cutting a material or putting holes in a material. you have the vice to secure the item to cut, you have the grinder to clean up the things you cut so logically the only thing left is to put holes in things. Yes you can use a hand held drill but a drill press is so much easier to use over all.
or a big old box of loctite and hair pieces
ive been a big fan of the channel for a long time now.. been tooling up my personal shop as of late. I find it amazingly funny how i have purchased the same press and bench grinder combo. Also went through the same struggles mounting the same wire wheel to the bench grinder. It all worked out in the end.
You might not see This but Hi from the UK. England. I'm a DIY person on a budget I love that you have taken time out to us explain the differances with cheeper tools.
And depends on what we're doing what I should buy..and pay . Big thank you xx

No! Can of Coca Cola, Mexican made with real cane sugar.
@@mohabatkhanmalak1161 or coffee!👍👱
@@sharronkelly115 Yes, coffee with doughnuts. Follow the adage "never do a job on an empty stomach".
@†ANGÉ|† nice! A bible to rip all the pages out, roll a joint and smoke some pot
Omg 😱 so true
I would put a small neodymium magnet on the underside of the tool rest to catch those loose wires. For a third tool, I would guess either a drill press or a miter box.
** Rams bolt with impact driver**
"All I did was tighten that bolt a little bit"
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
I was thinking exactly the same. I changed a dozen grinding stones and stuff and I never ever used an impact driver. It wouldn't even cross my mind, but hey... everyone has his own methods ;)
I am very new to the world of tools and making projects and even I thought that lol
@@marcodhaene -👍Same
@@SPECIALIZED95711 acting like a genius then what?
Event if has settings, the basic setting or not, hearing the impact (hammer) is indicative of a strong force acting on a tightened nut
Smoothly and gently indicate a sensitive hand feeling the nut cathing and no more, hope you get what other people are saying
@@SPECIALIZED95711 that is incorrect. Every impact tool does not have a torque setting. Impact drivers are just what their names are for, IMPACT! They hit like a hammer till tight. With or without a torque setting bro. Hits like a hammer. The internal parts shows why they hit like that and are called Impact Drivers. Just some quick info, not trying to insult anyone. And oh btw the manual does say do not tighten with an impact wrench.
I'm a machinist, and we have that exact Baldor. It is as reliable as the sun, which is what you need in a production environment. We also use DeWalt grinders, which deliver a great value for the money. The cheap ones just don't hold up - the proof of the pudding is in the tasting, I guess.
What's the wattage and size of the wheel on that?
@@AS-ug2vq I have a baldor 7" grinder that I think is either 1/2 or 2/3hp and 3 phase. It was left in a business suite that I cleaned out and rehabbed after the tenant was evicted. Luckily, I took it and figured out what a variable frequency drive is and spent $150 to get a $700 grinder going. It is a great size for a home shop or small business and it is very powerful and smooth as silk. I figured it was broken when I saw they left it behind, but it turns out it was 3 phase, so maybe they thought it was only good in a commercial shop. The 120v version looks like it only pulls 4 amps which is 480 watts.
Same here. Im a heavy equipment operator for a demo company and we are constantly breaking buckets and grapples ect. We have a couple bench grinders but usually go with our big and ref Milwaukee angle grinders. The dewalts kept burning out on us. The key is try to find the highest amperage angle grinder if you’re running it hard and for long periods
My graddad had a drill press. So i'll go with that as the 3rd item.
I hope that's part if the video series. Im desperately trying to get a small shed rebuilt into a small shop starting with the bench and this design is far better than mine.
Yeah, I'm betting drill press as well. :)
Drill press also.
My guess as well
I thought about it for a while and I have a bench grinder and a vise and when I buy or build a better and larger bench I will get a small drill press that can run at least 3000rpm. So a drill press is my guess.
My takeaway: don't judge others unless you walk in their shoes. I like that. You're right. For some people, a full line of Ryobi tools will be all they need. Sure, they're not Snap-on, Hilti, etc. but not everyone needs that. Thanks, Cody.
I have a lot of Ryobi tools and have been completely satisfied with all of them. I’m your average DIY’er and those tools have serviced me well. I find that people who bad mouth Ryobi are just doing so to justify spending Tool Truck prices for their choice.
On the baldor the main thing that makes it so superior is how far the wheels are frim the motor it gives you so much more useable space . VERY USEFUL.
The Baldor also has a much smaller motor.
Thanks for the blessings, and the knowledge on the Grinder, Well done!
I believe the Wen has an inertial clutch, a safety device which will stop rotation if jammed.
@Doc French Mr. W doesn't read manuals.
I tought that the bolt on the stone wheel was loose
Inertial..?? No... i got one.. one nut is reverse thread other is not.. when you tighten the one the other gonna loosen.. you gotta fanagle it to get em both tight.. he just loosened the nut on the stone when he used a damn gun to put the other nut on.. also your never supposed to use a gun on a bench grinder, especially the wheels.. ive cracked a stone by hand tightening.. on top of top the spacer should be put after the cupped washers because the outer washer would be putting a force around the spacer which was smaller than the washer.. needs equal pressure against both washers to keep centered.. the threads on cheaper grinders are cut different so if you put self centered washers on both sides they take up for the allignment issues of the. Nut...
@@Z-Ack yep was going to say the same thing! all the grinders in the uk have the same feature with the reversed thread on ever side :)
It's called lack of power. Or otherwise your "safety" feature
Put the spacer outside of the large washers. Large washer, then wire wheel, then the other large washer, then the spacer then the nut. That will give you proper thread contact and proper contact with the washers.
Dwarfracer88, I was thinking the same thing when I saw him do that.
On my workbench in addition to my Baldor I had a 6" vice and a drilling/milling machine. Way better than a common drill press.
@@CDNBVR1 Way more expensive too.
@@jonathanbetenbender307 But worth it. You can do so much more with a drilling/milling machine. IE: cut keyways in shafting, mill thicknesses to name a couple
I’m three years late but I wanted to reach through the screen and slap him for putting the spacer next to the wheel. I swear I just don’t understand how some people successfully survive in life without common sense the spacer and not understanding that the hut was loose on the other side had me shaking my head.
@@CDNBVR1 What do you mean by drilling/milling machine?
Is this what most people call a milling machine? I am just getting going and was wondering why not to just get a milling machine instead of drill press because it seems like a mill would do both.
Are there downsides?
Thanks
On my bench I added a midsize drill press ... though I also added a 10" compound miter saw. Great review thanks. I bought the DeWalt ...
Loctite at the end was funny! Great review - good to know what a $50 grinder is capable of!

I have a Wolf brand drill press, you can remove the drill for use separately. I'd say it's '70's maybe '60's judging how I got it. The rubber starting to perish however it works like a treat. I say starting as these things were maid to be repaired. I need a bench grinder. Thanks for the video.
My grandfather also had only this triple combo on the work bench (although technically the grinder was wall-mounted, but in the area).
I didn't have $50 back then, so I made one with scrap water pump motor
I made mine with a pool pump filter motor
Respect for playing Metallica in the beginning
I love the “Nothing Else Matters” spin-off for the intro. Love your video, as always.
Hiding a loctite bottle sounds like fun to me!
Good review, as usual. Thank you.
Love your thoughts on the priorities. Spot on
I’m Really enjoying this series!
The left wheel on the Baldor needs to be dressed with a wheel dresser. Instead of wearing gloves to prevent burning your hands when grinding, use vice-grips or pliers. The wheel can catch the glove and draw your hand or fingers into the grinder. You should replace the wheels when the wheel when it is approximately one-half the original diameter of the wheel. Keep the same face on the wheel as when it was original. Wearing the wheel unevenly can cause it to be unbalanced and disintegrate. Thanks for the tip on the Mora Chisel Knife.
I don't wear gloves with anything that spins; also on a table/circular saw you can feel when something is going wrong (something in the wood. pinching etc).. your literally cutting off a sense when you wear gloves. Also safety glasses always fog up, I've got a pair of goggles that fair well... point is I'm all about the face shield, if it's glasses I'll end up going without (I'm gonna get a face shield that's a bit more robust). Wanna get a leather apron eventually too (have a canvas one atm).
Btw he said repeatedly that the wheel needs replaced, and mentioned in the video about dressing the wheel (even said he'd make a video on how to do it).
Liked your video Thanks for sharing, my third choice for the work bench is a drill press.

Third thing you need on your bench. United States Postal Service bin to hold your miscellaneous parts!!!!!😉
"That doesn't inspire confidence" Lol! That was great! I would guess your grandpa had a bench top drill press, because he sounds like he was a logical man, and logical men, have drill presses. He also sounds like a logical man, who liked his work bench, so a bench top drill press would be the logical choice of drill presses. If not a drill press, he would've had a light of some sort. Thanks for the videos Mr. Wranglerstar!
Off topic here..I just wanted to say I had not seen your videos before, and you do a great job on them!! Even camera position is really smooth..super editing as well. Great job!
Plus you seem like a truly GOOD PERSON. That's rare these days.
God be with you and yours my friend!!🙂
"that doesn't inspire confidence.." I LOVED that!! 😀
To be honest..I would spend the extra bread and buy a good heavy grinder with the strongest motor I could find! I did in 1972, and that big B**ch is STILL to strong to stall down with a mower blade or a tire iron!! I HAVE tried!Great grinder! I paid $285 1972 dollars for it..no regrets ever!
I know a budget IS important..VERY. I'm simply saying brother that IF the money is there, or almost there..save a little more, and pay what you need to to buy a HD "quality product!"
Thanks for the video pal..great job!!
Third thing was a drill press ?? Or possibly a kit of some kind
I also bet my money on that.
Drill press was my guess too !
My money is on drill press too
Same
Yup, drill press is my guess too.
You loosened the nut on the grinding wheel side by using an impact driver. You might want to tighten that. Also, the spacer you put on should probably behind the other cup so that both cups are against the wire wheel.
Thinking the exact same thing!
The nut on one side is right handed, the nut on the other side is left handed. So when you tighten one you loosen the other.
my thoughts exactly.
@@stevedarnell8444 So how should you tighten both then?
Toffie47 you can hold the tight side and just snug the other side up then hold that side to finish tightening it. At least that’s what I’ve always done.
That intro of Metallica's Nothing Else Matters in banjo got my like already
Indeed.
Thanks. I couldn't put my finger on it. Great song for a banjo cover. Made me like the song more because I realize it would sound at home hundreds of years ago.

Your presentations are very interesting and very well done!
the comparison with the television amd the bench grinder in price was well said. love you wranglerstar🙂

Great review. You do great videos Really glad I found your channel.
Great video !!!
first safety rule working with a bench grinder, never wear heavy gloves.
No heavy baggy clothes,huge gloves,big hanging chain, no glasses ever.. loose cool points and last u must wear sandles while grinding.. prooves your tough 😂

Never wear gloves in general
Great video making some good points. I’ll guess the third tool was a bench mounted drill press.
I bought my 8” Craftsman bench grinder in about 1976. It was a bargain and in, my opinion, the additional machine size, wheel width and power was worth the investment. As a landlord who did much of his own maintenance, I had tools and blades to sharpen as well as wire-wheeling rust from old tools I bought from estate and garage sales. I think a mid-range price on a larger wheel worked out well as I still own it. It runs like a clock and 5 seconds to come up to speed is trivial.
One other thing the additional size permits is the construction of a shop-made hard-wood stage for resting parts on while working. The biggest hazard I found was snagging parts in the wire wheel. A stage the wraps around the sides of the wheel permits you to hold the part so it isn’t parallel to the front surface of it. The part is far less likely to get dragged into the wheel guard.
You were pointing a bolt as a demonstration. A larger shop-made stage bolted to the bench also lets you add things like a “V” block to hold the bolt at a specific angle if necessary or accurately space the bar-stock in relation to the wheel for reducing the diameter. On plain bar stock you can add a hand drill to turn the stock against the wheel far faster and reduce the time required to finish.
Thanks again for your great videos.
Good review!
I swear you've gone through my workshop and picked out my tools as I've got this grinder also and love it. The only problem I have had with it is keep a light bulb from breaking the filament due to vibrations when grinding some rough things, quick solution was just to use an LED bulb. I went with this for the cost and since I don't generally do a lot of grinding it is more than adequate for the little cleanup jobs I do with it.
LED
I'm going with a BFH or drill press. Though may favorite tool is my head lamp.
Great series of practical evaluations!
Third thing in the shop is a drill press.
For a machine shop --4th is a gas torch or if you are serious, a lathe then a metal band saw.
For a woodworker -- 4th is a table saw then a jig saw then a table router, or wood lathe.
For those that said "dancing hula girls" very impractical and distracting that is - but if you insist, they must wear safety glasses and I always made them remove their lose hula dresses (for safety)
hhhahhaha
doubt you still read comments on this old of a video. But, I just wanted to say thanks for doing a great job at being objective for the common man with your videos.
Let me point out a couple of things:
What happened when you impacted the wire wheel on, was that you loosened the nut on the opposite side. There is a left and a right hand thread so tightening one side with impact will loosen the other. The direction of the thread on either side results in rotation tightening the nut.... or rather it is to prevent rotation from loosening the nut. Any grinder will to this... but the very low inertial mass makes it more likely with the little one.
Second. the printed horsepower rating means nothing at all on modern motors. To know the relative power you look at amps. They lie about horsepower on almost everything.
A drill press of course is the next indispensable tool.... I own a floor stand drill press, two electromagnetic drill presses, and a light weight drill press stand that will take a half inch cordless or corded drill..................... I rarely use the latter, and use the floor stand drill virtually every day. I use hand held grinders far more than a bench grinder...
Yes! My 4 HP Craftsman air compressor has a 15 amp GE motor in it. GE, for obvious reasons, does not have the horsepower on the motor. I would believe the rating of a Baldor motor but not the HP rating of most electric tools. Fifteen amps at 115 VAC will get you 2.3 HP no matter how it's calculated.
You sir are a true workshop dweller, in North America its like a millwright, , its a cross between a mechanical ( practical) technician / engineer,
@@David-hm9ic yeah that's about right 2.3 hp,
freaking killing it lately with these VS videos!
Was the third thing on granddads bench a $700 flat screen tv?
My Papaw had a round grinding stone about 14" . You had to sit and peddle to turn the wheel . Old school lol .
I had the same exact problems that you had with the wen out of mine I tried to change the stone out for a wire wheel and it done the exact same thing that yours did!
I was instructed by the British Army bench grinding course to store you wheel on a shaft so that they hang free
you can tap the wheel with a wood hammer handle hang by a bit of string it will ring if dull get rid
Also let the grinder slow down & stop in its own time helps with the balance in the drive shaft
Drill press ofcourse! Cannot go without!
Would be nice to test these Drill jigs that hold drills upright, and definetely not the cheapest once (they will break just by looking at them) but the more pro stuff, really intrested if they would work
There called drill presses or mills
I worked for Baldor in Ft Smith,AR back in 2004 for like a week on their assembly line. We stacked the metal plates that were welded to form the core of their drive motors. Had never heard of them before that and didnt know they made really popular drive motors.
I always run a wire wheel for a few minutes when it's new, whether I'm using it on a bench or hand grinder to help any loose bits work themselves off.
Never wear gloves while grinding. That's how you lose fingers. The wheel catches the gloves and rips your hand in. Also dont grind in one spot on the wheel like this. That will cause gouges and grooves. You will have to redress the wheel more often and could lead to an exploding wheel in the right circumstance. But overall I liked the video other than these things.
I agree ! !
Add on: don't ever wear gloves with any rotating equipment. I will only wear gloves with angle grinders to protect my hands from debries or possible disk breakage, but even then, im still careful with that.
Great video cody! I'm gonna guess a drill press
I just ordered one of those it's going be my second bench grander
About 15 years ago, I bought a brand new Baldor 8-inch grinder that can turn a battleship into a pile of powdered iron in about 30 minutes.
It's probably one of the most versatile tools to have around...often just for fun.
Metal grinding is a great skill to perfect, and I'm still learning.
I also modified a Delta floor stand drill press to be heavier duty by swapping out the cheap Chinese coffee can motor for a 2-1/2 horsepower Baldor pump-house motor.
I can drill through damn near anything now without the slightest drag on the torque. Amazing mod!
As to that third tool you wanted us to guess...I'm gonna say an anvil...
Kudos on the flat panel TV comment. It IS all about priorities. I weaned m'self from TV in about 1992. Never have missed it, not one iota.
Oldman, so you don't know what you have missed since 1992 ? Nothing, but has gotten even worse.
Older than dirt :-(
What ever you do please make sure you have a shield or protective glasses on. A close family friend who was once an engineer for GM lost an eye because of a broken wire frome his bench grinder wire brush. His eye became infected atrophied and had to be removed.
Awesome review.. I like the Wen, especially with the built on light... Heck, I'm three months away from 83. what do I need with something that will last 50 years?
Thanks for this video. I also use bench grinder in our shop to sharpen cuticle nippers and nail cutter.. 👌👍🏼😉
Put a spacer under your nut. Nut. You can flip the outside dished washer over also. Most grinders won't have a big enough guard to let the wire brush run free after a bit of use and "blooming".

Third tool would be a drill press.
Move your spacer to the outside of the convex washer, the wire or stone wheel needs contact with both of them on each side to spin correctly, and not slip. awesome videos, keep em coming!!
CHEERS!!!
Awesome choice. I was thinking battery charger or power bar but I don't know how long ago he was talking. Then a radio but that probably would be on a shelf.
So true about the TV and priorities!
I was taught to not use gloves when working with spinning tools. We had a guy in the shop lose some fingers because the wheel grabbed his glove.
Dang! Scary!
If the piece im holding it too hot i just hold it with vice grips. No gloves
thats why you dont put your fingers in the wheel it will do even worse to skin also if you wear proper fitting smooth leather gloves you wont have the issue of them getting grabbed
No joke. I say one of of ex's get her finger sucked in a disk sander from wearing gloves. Took all the skin off her finger. It wasn't very good
keep the gap between your wheel and your rest less than 1/16 of an inch and you will be okay.
Drill press? That's what I would put on my work bench
I have my Dad's vintage Rockwell grinder from the 60's I believe. It's an old beast. I just built a table for it, cleaned it, gave it a new gray enamel paint, and new wheel and wire brush. She's a proud unit once again. And it has a light as well.
I got the same grinder, I thank its awesome for the price. I did the same configuration. I just snuger it up and the way the threads work it say tightens as it spins
I’m guessing the third thing was his wedding ring, cause safety first
💀😂
Yeah, the third item on my dad’s bench was a drill press, I couldn’t imagine it any other way.
"some sort of witchcraft"... funny you... yet, informative presentation, you explain things very well and raise good questions, thank you for taking the time to explain all this...
Am I the only one that immediately noticed “nothing else matters” on a banjo in the intro?
I was wondering if wranglestar knew what it was
No you weren't
I noticed it too, and now I want to listen to the whole rendition.
I have noticed and now want to play my guitar

I like to have an articulating work light with a magnifying glass on my work bench.
3rd thing probably wasn't a first aid kit 😂🤣 so a drill press
Thats the last thing in the shop... after the thrown (toilet) was built
radio
I bought my pap the wen bench grinder for his body shop. It works great for what we do with it. I would highly recommend it for people who don't need or want to pay alot of money for one
I bought one of those Ryobi grinders from Home Depot and I really like it. The plastic guards are pretty cheap. Seems to have pretty good power and seems better made when it comes to the main unit then that Wen. I do wish it had that nice big light like the Wen and not 2 cheap little LED's above each grinding wheel. I just do small projects I can't complain. I have used those $600 grinders many times before and they are absolute beasts!
I did notice one of my grinding wheels was a little off. I went to Home Depot to buy a grinding tool and they absolutely had no clue what the hell that was! I thought that was pretty damn funny. I ended up after a couple different places found 1 at Harbor Freight for I think $7 bucks? I just know it did the trick and now the little grinder whirls like a little champ!
Thanks for the video comparison.
The 3rd thing was a bottle of English Leather cologne, cus a mans always gotta smell good 😎
that was my grandfather
I think the Loctite Easter egg hunt is a good idea. 😉😆
Your impact wrench backed off the nut on the other end of the shaft, when you turned it on the motor spun it back tight.
Clever fellow!
I thought i was the only one to notice that 😅
You managed to fit 5 sexual innuendos in a single sentence... Color me impressed!!! Lol
The third thing was a bottle of goose hidden behind something so the Mrs. could not see it.
