- Today we rebuild an antique hand operated Well Pump, take it out to our remote OFF GRID property and drive a Sand Point well by hand. Nothing is more important to an off grid homestead than water. In this video you'll see everything you need to know to do this job yourself.

Did anybody else wince when Dave tossed those pump parts on the hood of his car? OUCH!! LoL
I was wondering what year the tool bench was and awd or not LOL
He’d say the radical part is IT’S NOT HIS CAR!! LOL!
That’s his wife’s car - his Ford truck is parked over yonder ...
I had to watch it twice just to make sure what I was seeing!
Yep, especially since I just spent a week doing my truck so it wasn't so ugly.
I've been watching you for about 2 hours straight now. I'm tired of living in the city. Thank You for reminding me where I want to be.
You and Brooke are an amazing team. I'll be 64 on Saturday and I grew up with an outdoor hand pump. I've been avoiding this one as I thought it would be boring. Dave, I swear that you could narrate a paint drying video and make it interesting. What can I say, this is one of your best videos and I loved it.
selbst habe ich noch nie gesehen wie das funktioniert! Danke sehr für dieses tolle Video!!!!!😊
I agree, wholeheartedly
They live in a mansion away from their sheds. Ha
Vids like this are the greatest benefit to a digital age. I honestly don't know how I would learn anything useful without videos like this. Thanks for taking the time and putting in the effort to make an instructional video like this!
do a thumbs up.

we r learning but its hard to get the machines in africa yet we need clean water
People never realize how important water is until you have to work to get it. Amazing job on refurbishing the pump and bring the water up.
So happy for you.
So true! I love bringing friends from the city to my remote cabin. They say... as long as it has running water. I don't tell them that It has running water, but only from an RV pump that draws from a drum that is supplied by a pitcher pump. It is great to see the look on their faces when they see that they have to pump the water for their own shower or to flush the toilet. 😂

Work to get it? I have money, I can pay for it. Isn't that what most people do anyhow? There are drills and services you can hire to do this easier.
@@buttercatz99 Yeah,you probably live in an apartment . Quite clearly you are out of touch with reality for a lot of people.
انتي ساعده كلام حلوه
Watching you refurbish the well from an antique to a usable piece of equipment was not only satisfying, but it also shows that you can reuse things and save some money. Thanks Dave👍🏼
Thanks ZA
When things were built to last. Now a day, we live in a disposable world. Hate it.

Thanks David and Brooke. I seen you on "Alone". My husband died 3years ago, he was a man like you, fixing things, making items for our home that we couldn't afford. He was a brilliant man, full of ideas to better our lives. I'm buying my 1st home, it's a tiny house in a tiny house community. I hope that I can implement your improvements and procure tools of the old-timers in order to complete tasks to become, God 1st, self -reliant.
I love the attitude that both of you displayed while you were on the television program. I would like to find a friend like, Mason Folven. He was the best friend I have ever had here. How I miss him so. Brooke, you are a blessed soul to have a man, as is described in the Holy Scriptures, that loves you as he loves himself and is full of wisdom and understanding.
I hope you both have repented for your sins, and have been baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and have been filled with the Holy Spirit. I will be searching for other videos from y'all on how to take care of myself with God's guidance. Lean not unto thine own understanding,in all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths... Proverbs 3:5-8.
If you're in an area where the water is too deep for a hand drawn well there's a great workaround. Set up a vertical axis wind turbine to draw the water up into a storage reservoir. Have your reservoir buried just below the frost line. Be sure to have some kind of disengage connected to a float so you only fill to the full mark. The wind will draw your water nearly up to the surface where it can then be hand pumped easily and yet not get frozen.
..
Could you, please, give us a link to the video of that (or to other sources)? Thank you in advance.
@@sakoupa I don't have a link. I simply thought it up. No reason at all that it won't work. What don't you understand? I remember I was at a state park where they had a really old hand pump. I was really thirsty so I pumped the water up but it took a long time because the shaft was very deep. This idea would solve the problem.
..
@@MrDavePed
You see.. I don't understand - and that's why I want to look at drawings and video of it. It would be interesting to know HOW it works.
@@sakoupa Wind turbines of all sorts have been pumping water out of the ground for centuries. I think the vertical axis is the best design. There are many vertical axis videos you can find easily. It can operate an efficient pump which can draw water from great depths. This is especially true since the water doesn't have to be drawn in anything more than a small trickle. You do not need a large number of gallons per minute, just a trickle from as deep as you need to go.
Your reservoir can be a food grade tank of perhaps 50-200 gallons. Bury the tank below the frost line and direct the pumped water into it.
You'll need some way to deal with the extra water. Maybe a float to indicate when the tank is full. Some way to prevent an unwanted overflow. Either to disengage the turbine or the pump when the tank is full. If you disengage the turbine instead of the pump, you can save some wear and tear on your pump.
However you do it, you do not want overflow to be pumped above the frost line and get frozen in your system. There are simple ways to do that which require no electricity, which is the whole point. No electricity required.
Then you'll need a hand pump similar to the one demonstrated in this video. Set it up to draw water from the reservoir which will only be about 6-8 feet below ground depending on your local climate. Very easy on the arm when the water is not so deep. Just a few strokes and you have all the water you need.
I hope this makes things more clear.
..
@@MrDavePed
I think it's just your theory. Otherwise you would drop a link to real such well. And your statemen - reservoir 6-8 feet deep doesn't frost - but how about tubes above???
From 1974 to the spring of 1979 my parents, my younger brother and I lived up on a very tall mountain called Beechy Ridge in Clay County, West Virginia. We had a well behind our home with a cast iron hand pump just like the one your video. During the blizzard of the winter of Jan. 1978, I was thirteen years old and we had 12 to 20 ft snowdrifts in our yard from the Storm. We had to dig out from around home and our well and use newspapers to create a fire around the cast iron pump to thaw out the water line that went down into the well before we could pump water out of it. You see, we did not have running water inside of the house at that time and that was our only source of water for our family. Those old cast iron pumps could take a beating for sure. When I saw you in the thumbnail with this pump it brought back so many memories fore about that time. I'd love to go back and live there again. The water from our well tasted so sweet. 🥰😊 Thank you for bringing back some good memories for me! 💖🧓
Still trying to figure out why you would make a fire to thaw a well with 12 foot snow drifts. I grew up onba farm and pulled many a well to thaw out pipes but ours was electric pump with dual 100 gallon storage tanks. Why not get a foot tub and thaw some snow or bring in a metal pale of snow and out it on a wood burning stove....and there you have fresh water. Seem like a lot of work for a hand pump when thousands of gallons of water are already laying above ground.
Sounds like a lot of work, you might be amazed at how much water there is in a 20' snow drift.
I remember pumping water into the stock tank when I was about six years old, my daily chore, 73 years ago.
I know of a family estate in NH that has a hand pump to a pipe going to a storage tank in the attic. It sits next to the chimney to avoid freezing.
The tank gravity feeds the house.
The house dates to the early 1800s.
And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men.
Mister we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Me too, and also 73 yrs.
wow you legit that old
@@hariranormal5584 Yep :)
Brilliant video it’s inspired me to do this on my own property here in the uk
Lmfao xD
That was an amazing video! I never knew it could be that simple to rebuild a pump and drill a well. Thanks for all your great videos and knowledge.
this is so cool - infinite water and wood for free - that's real freedom
True!
but this is stealing from Nestle
good job mate
@@ksenobite F that corporate company
@@ksenobite not likely, they’re using tap water
I can feel that energy when you do a job that never goes smooth and it goes smooth. Love that feeling.
me too!
@@Bushradical great job Dave!!! As an old Well driller, I enjoy seeing others drill(drive) a well, and have success!!!
Here's a few tricks....
Don't dig your hole until you hang your hammer and use it like a plumb bob when you have it steady then drop it so the stem sticks in the ground then you know exactly where to dig and it keeps your pipe straight...
The other trick is not really a trick but I would love to see you finish off the hole with a couple of bags of Bentonite.(you can order it from Valley Well Supply, I think they have a warehouse in Grand Rapids)
It usually comes in pellet form or powder.. it's basically a clay that the ground water and rain is absorbed into it, it swells up and seals the ground to your pipe... It stops contaminants from following the pipe down to the water vein... You can always add it by digging out some of the dirt around the pipe and then add a couple bags I think the bags are $10 a piece $20 is great insurance that you're well will never get contaminated if a can of gas gets spilled or whatever contaminant maybe in the vicinity...
I know you're careful and so is Brooke. But you never know..
Also if you hill up the dirt around your pipe it will help rain water and other things to run off. Take care Dave, like I said earlier great video and I'm glad that you and Brooke were successful in getting water on your new place. And I would love to come and help you on the next one.
Oh ps, when I do a hand driven well I always carry a half horse shallow well pump then I can just fire up the generator and put the pump on and run it for a half hour 45 minutes and that water will be Crystal clean.... You can also judge how many gallons per minute the well is producing.
But you guys did it with the hand pump so bravo!!!
@@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458 beautiful add on. Thanks
@@dirtroadfarmsjimmideanreen2458 Thanks for that information!
At very least i learned something new today.
David, I just wanted to add that you and Brooke are each a powerhouse in your own standing. Together, you are more than a National Treasure.

This video is, hands down, the coolest thing I've ever seen on CZcams. I grew up in Northern Wisconsin and am familiar with private wells for home, and even used one of these pump wells every now and again, but I never knew what went into getting the water up from underground. Thank you very much for putting this together.

I’ve seen cooler
Love watching you guys ! My wife and I watched you two on Alone and you’ve shown you guys know your stuff ! Now I enjoy learning more from you on your you tube videos! Thank you !
Really awesome video & knowledge! I restore tools quite a lot over the years & it was so great to see someone else do this , especially when the electric motor & wire wheel & grinder set up was pretty much identical as my own! Really loved watching you work it all out , very high marks on your way of explaining everything! Thank you very much for sharing your skills !
Brother, I find it hard to find adjectives to describe videos like yours.
The simplicity of everything we need to live just amazes me.
Much love for you and your family
My dads mom had a hand Pump in her kitchen and an outhouse and I was about 8 or 9 years old. I hated goi;g to the outhouse because of critters and the smell. She finally updated when I was about 12:or 13. Oh! Wood stove to cook the food. We take things for granted today. We must learn again…because this nation may be gone but we repent and I mean truly repent….God will help us. He doing it anyway because, for one, most churches have fall from Grace. There are few remnants but just a few. Lord Jesus please forgive us.
My Dad, some 40+ yrs ago, took a 1.5” auger-secured an appropriate handle on to it and worked it down about 14 feet in our backyard. He got beautiful freshwater 💦. At the time we were under strict water restrictions. Dad had the best 👍 veggie garden around and we could swim all we liked ❤️ in our small (even for those days) 10ft diameter 3ft deep pool. We didn't care. My Father had about the same pressure as town water and he maintained he could pump, at that rate, all day. All for a small auger (from a brace-and-bit system). He could divine water accurately.
Got to go but good luck with ALL your Off-Grid ventures.

I love these two. So glad i found both your channel. Its so enjoyable watching.
My goodness you are so resourceful. Watched one of your videos yesterday for the first time. I’m already hooked on. The sound of water gushing from the pump was music to the ear. Thank you
Mr. Whipple. I would like you to know that I appreciate your videos very much. I've been watching for some time and I finally realized that whenever I look down my list of suggested videos my eye automatically stops when I see you or your wife's videos. We (my son and I) are going to put in a hand pumped well on our remote property this summer and we have no experience. We've watched videos but today I saw this one and I told my son to forget the others - this dude is the guy to watch. I bet we watch this video 20 times until we learn what to do. When I build a little "house" for the pump to sit on, I'm going to name it: Dave's Well - to honor the man who shared his knowledge and seems like a very kind soul. Thank you. Sherrie in South Carolina
Awww, how sweet! Good luck, may it go as smooth for you too.
I'm very honored. Thank you
Make sure you buy a lead free pump. Agri Supply carries them. The made in China ones are full of lead (lead poisoning).
I love to see you and The Girl in the Woods working together to make your dreams come true. Can't wait to see how this place will look in a year.
I know I'm excited to see.
Thanks
Your simplicity is amazing you should have your own network show! I Appreciate how you go step-by-step with everything!
You are right, my projects never workout this good on the first try. It's nice to see one go this way.
The wife and I just put in our well in northwest Michigan yesterday. Used all your advice, and now have an 18ft deep well on our 10 acres. Thanks for the excellent videos !!!
thats beautiful!
Wonderful, you remind me of my Dad who loved repairing old things. He used to make his own leather seals for plumbing and made his own metal lathe so he could create his own turning tools for wood turning which was his passion. He made his own walnut stain from our walnut tree, ahh brought a tear to my eye, Dad passed 2 years ago at 93 and your videos remind me so much of him. Love to you and Brooke from Melbourne Australia 🙏🏻❤️
Thanks Jenny.
Amen Jenny! Thank you for sharing those wonderful memories and knowledge of your dad with us! That was inspiring! Many blessings to you and your family! So sorry for your loss! May he be at peace with God... 🙏🏻❤️
@@Bushradical Very resourceful great job
Lovely of you to share that story with us, Ty. I hope all is well there.
As a water, gas & oil driller myself, I find this absolutely brilliant!!!
Amazing job on refurbishing the pump and bringing the water up. 👍💯
I didn’t read through all 2k+ comments, but my dad and I did put in a number of wells. The very important item that you didn’t mention was how far to keep the well from septic drain fields or outhouses. It varies from state to state based on the porosity of the soil but 100 ft is standard.
...and that 100 feet is *uphill* of the septic field(s) for people not in the know that "stuff" flows downhill...:LOL
I love watching someone take an item apart and put it back together again. As someone who doesn't have a clue how anything works, to me it's an awesome gift.
I really like how you do things so simply and effectively. It's very efficient.
Goodness! That was a great video, I felt like celebrating the clean fresh water! Great job!
I love the work you did on this video, Dave. Congrats on your hard work, know-how, and working well system. 👍
What a great project refurbishing the old hand pump. I loved it! Thank you for this most useful information. I am looking forward to owning an off grid homestead in the future. Great videos filled with useful information, much appreciated. :-)
That's so awesome. I remember my Grandmothers Farm In custer Michigan on Hansen Road in mason county and the well pump was exactly like it at one time. It also had a windmill above it at one time that I use to climb. I use to hand pump water up out of it. Then they installed a electric pump to water to the house. Thanks for the memories and skill to rebuild a old hand pump. You's guys are cool! Marty down in Byron Ga.
man I wished my mom can help like your mom does. seems like a fun family activity we can all do and even you showed how easy it is! Great video.
That was awesome to watch you rebuild that water pump! Very interesting! Now watching you build the tri pod & putting everything together! "Let get some water!"!👌👍
Ever since I found you guys I can't stop watching you, I recently pounded out my own well out back with a hand pump and I am so happy and greatful for you input that inspired me to try this. I would love to send you my video.
Thanks for this video man. This brought back memories of me and my grandfather messing with the well in my backyard. Rebuilding the leathers and then priming and getting water out again. He taught me so much and I miss him terribly. Thanks for the good memory I forgot about.
This took me back to my childhood, I helped my Dad drive our well. This is also the first time I watched one of your vids and I love it! Ya got a new fan!
The tripod was genius! Still a helluva workout though. So glad that well went in without too much trouble. Great job, Dave and Brooke. 💪👍
Great job on fixing up an old pump and making it work again. The tripod was a great idea I watched u do the last well,seems u have definitely improved your method. Magnificent job Dave and Brooke.
This was amazing to watch! Thank you for sharing. This project has been on my list to do. I have two locations where I want to install a hand pump well. Blessings to you guys!
Great job guy's! I had some property and our well was 25ft down. The BEST water I've ever had..love this video!
Your narration is on point. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and insights with us. If I ever drive a well, I will definitely be cleaning the pipes and avoiding the last 2 threads.
It's been a while since I found a content creator that made videos that were not only informative but also filmed and edited in a way I didn't have to skip ahead or keep going back to catch something. I am glad I ran across your channel and you have a new fan for sure!
I love watching your videos. Your voice is calming, and I love watching things get built and restored.
This video was thoroughly satisfying. I love all your stuff.
Right on, you guys always release the perfect video at the perfect time. I watched the failed attempts at your friends and wasn’t so sure I was going to try it as I don’t have the manpower. But with this tripod, it’s on again, thanks for the inspiration! I got tons of alders that need to earn their keep, a long rope, a pulley a d who DOESN’T need a tripod?
Cheers from off the grid in Eastern Canada.
Nice Dave. Fans of both of you. So my father and his wife had a well drilled in willow AK and installed a 3 stage reverse osmosis setup. Having cleaned the first stage cannisters and changing the filter there was an oily residue.
So fun & amazing. At the rate we are going we might all need to dig for water & pump it out in this country! Thanks for this video!
Dave from another Dave,, when i was 12/13 yrs old I helped my dad drive a point for our well,, we went past the first water down into the second water,, all total was 25/30 ft,, thats one job ill never forget,, give that wife of urs a hug for me,,, she's a keeper
Great idea using the 3 leg tri-pod n pulley,saves the back👍🏽
Saves the back and pulling the rope down probably uses stronger muscles than lifting the pounder up prior to each drop. It got me thinking about rigging something so I could use my leg to lift the pounder. I'm think of tying a foot loop on a separate 10' length of line with a sliding friction knot (a rolling, taut line or Blake's hitch) tied to the main rope. This should let me slide the friction hitch either direction on the pounder rope as necessary to change the length as the pipe is driven deeper or reset when another section of pipe were added. Might work . . . maybe it'd just make a big, tangled mess! 😂
good luck
Actually doesnt save any energy the way he set it up, should have added two more pulleys, one at the weight and a second one up top to actually get some efficiency
@@Henryk5161 I can agree with you on a 3-1 or 4-1 pull.
GREAT VIDEO start to finish. So proud for yall!! Good sweet water, YOU dug for.
Thanks much!!
You make good points . Wow good thing you cleaned it up .
Oh yeah I did not know you could make your own well so simple and cost effective in this over inflated times .I found so much knowledge in what you have taught me and My family that's me my three children and 9 grandchildren.now they can show someone this very vital information thanks.
I really like these very informative, well-crafted videos. The only thing is, I considered myself fairly handy around my own house, but after I watch these, dang I feel so inadequate! Thank you so much for posting and keep up the good work!
Great video Dave and Brooke! It's nice when a plan comes together!
It sure is!
Wow! This is fabulous. I have a horse pasture far from the house plumbing. I'm installing one of these this week so I don't have to drag hoses EVERYWHERE!!! Thank you so much. I can't wait to get started. Home Depot has all this stuff. As you were narrating I was clicking on my cart for Home Depot!! You guys are great.
Very nice thank you for showing it on you tube have a good night 🙂
A fabulous project that demonstrates "can do" attitude, resiliency, and practicality. Satisfying work with practical and tangible results. Thanks for a thorough demonstration of not only the refurbishing but good old fashioned work ethic. Excellent video.
What a great video! The reclamation of an old pump, then the tripod you built, and the hard work getting the well driven! (Loved the Whipple engineering when you were putting that piece of pipe
on! 👍)
This is so exciting, seeing the first big step of building your beautiful dream together!
Your narration just gets better and better (if that is possible!) and seeing you and Brooke working together and living your dreams is why I’m here. Plus, I have learned so much from both of you and “visited’ two states that I will probably never get to see in person. Thank you and Brooke again for the top quality videos that you produce!
You are both amazing!❤️👍👍
Thanks
Bought one of those pumps , put it on top of my well cap pvc down 30 ft. Works great. Thanks for all your videos. John
Just found your channel and it is very therapeutic. The techniques, the music, the knowledge, keep it up and thank you.
Must be a good feeling to know you have water! That is so cool that you can get water that easily! I paid 15K for my well including pump and solar and it’s one of the shallowest around here at 200ft.
Must be a Michigan thing. It seems like nearly every campground we stayed as kids had one of those manual pumps. Bigger maybe, and self priming perhaps.
Oh wow!
easy water in a lot of Michigan
Ours are generally between 150-200 feet, where I live and the state regulates wells out here. It would be awesome to get water at 18 feet.
I never have seen a well done like that, all I've ever seen is drilled wells, Tiger Creek Farm Drilled one by hand with a post hole auger, I don't remember how deep it was but he put out a whole lot more work than pounding pipe in the ground like you did,I'm glad you got the water you wanted, that's great.
Dave, what a fantastic job 1st cleaning and refurbishing the pump. Then building that tripod. Digging the holes and driving the poles into the ground to get to the 💧 to see that water coming up was so extremely exciting😀! The crystal clear cold water coming up was a sight to see in the end. So glad it did not have any chemical taste to it😋. Well done Dave and Brooke, well done🤸🏿♀️.. 🦋🍎
Awesome .... Thanks... I plan on doing my own well on a remote property, as well and this is the video that needed!
Great vid. Just some tips. 1. If you wait until after wet weather to bore it makes it vastly easier. 2. You can use additional pulleys to reduce to felt weight (the force needed to lift it) of the "hammer", you were using just a single pulley (a single pulley setup is known as a "single whip"), by adding just 1 more pulley you could have halved the force you would have needed to lift the weight of the hammer (this pulley setup is known as a gun tackle). Or if you'd used 2 x double wheel pulleys (known as "twofold purchase") you could have reduced the force needed to lift the weight by 3/4, making it much easier (or giving the ability to use a much heavier weight to increase the boring speed).
How about depth? I think I saw a moose pissing on Dave's 15" deep well. LOL
Dang !!! That was so dope man !!!!! I wanted to grab your chubby smiley face and plant the biggest kiss on your forehead !!!! I was 100% invested in that drill , I swear I was there with you !!!! 🤣🤣And that was from all the way down here in Aussie !! So proud of you both. You stir up so many memories of my childhood on the farm with just your old fashioned approach to everything. Just like my old Dad, no training in anything other the school of "You want something done ? Do it yourself son". Love both of your pioneer spirit , infused with the Holy Spirit. 🤗👏👏👏👏🙏💞🇦🇺 ps I'm 1of his 4daughters but all 7 kids were addressed as "son".
Thanks.
Thanks, man..... the tri wood thingy..... helped me out greatly. Gotz all kinds of artificial joints.... and this made it kinda fun.....and not so much as a chore........ Partialy disabled but do a lot of my survival camping on my own...... Helped me a lot thank you.....
I’m glad to see you reach water the old traditional way with that beauty restored hand pump. Way to go!
Another job well done Dave!
Thanks
@@Bushradical you got it Dave
Good one Dave! I love things that can be reused, and it is such a treat to find "old stuff" cause you know it has been made to last and in good quality. Things that wont last you only for a couple of years, but for centuries.. Thank you for sharing as always!
Right on
This is really inspiring too me. I aspire to become this way. Calm and happy doing what I love.
This is such a great tip about cleaning the pipes. My grandfather taught me this many years ago.
Nice video, Dave. You're a natural teacher / instructor. My wife and I were watching this and we both concluded that of all of the You Tube channels and content that we watch, yours and Brooke's are the most entertaining. You both are very comfortable and the content is always good. Some channels seem to just make sure that they put up content, but not either of you. You take your time and it shows. Thank you! Please pass this along to Brooke, too.
You are the best teacher! I look forward to seeing your videos!
The world needs more people like you two!
I never knew how much I needed to hand drive an antique well pipe until I watched this video. Pretty amazing.
Nice! Can’t help but notice what hard working people this couple are.
Is it my imagination, or did he carefully paint the pump, but scape the hood of his car to pieces with the metal parts! Now that's a man who has priorities! LOL....... Great vid.
Excellent video. Having already dug my own well, 1 metre wide, cast my own concrete rings (mixed by hand) with 1 metre of water constantly sitting in my well to feed the ponies and garden.
Was really informative to see another method of well drilling.

I’ve gotta give it to you. You make some straight to the point, good quality, informative videos. Keep doing what you’re doing brother👍🏼
It’s great to compare this well with the previous wells. You definitely made many improvements. I’ll be sinking one on my Vermont property and now I have a better method of sinking it. Thanks Dave!
Amen to that!
you're welcome
Greetings from NH
I just posted on your wife’s page and popped over here. I love watching you two work together. It reminds me of the joy I get working with my wife as we create new thing at our urban farm in Pittsburgh.
Watching u and Brooke has been a joy u 2 together really did a dam good job I'm so happy w how much I'm learning about to buy from the amish community and how u can use free items thks so much
Wow, this is so cool! Thanks for sharing it!
I admire the way you repaired something useless back into a usable piece of equipment. I am also amazed that you did all that on the hood of your car! Is sanding and repainting your car the next video?
Love the old pump! Nice to see old things reborn. My grand parents had a hand pump in the kitchen. Probably original to the house. (1886)
Very cool!
Wow. That is so impressive. You guys rock!
A "well" deserved smile at the camera holding that cup of cold, clear water! Great job! I'm going to try this myself!
This video takes me back to my pre-teen days. I was constantly "building, or repairing" things. I must say that I am absolutely impressed. I love the bench you placed the pump parts on, after painting.
You noticed that bench too huh? 😁 I was cringing, cause I knew that old wagon was crying’ 😆
@@AfricanFlightStar Shineeeee...hahahahaha!!!!
I was just about to make a comment about that poor car hood
This was the best rebuild I ever saw you make...sorry for the scratches on you new (hahahahaha). Escort!!!!!
LOL thanks
I thought I was the only one who noticed! I guess soon we will see " how to restore you car hood riddled with scratches" hahahaa! and boy will that car not shine!!!
The fun part is: It's not new. That's how good Dave's home paint job is!
