I enjoy being creative in my home work shop. I like working with wood and steel, making projects that come to mind and off my sketch pad. I post videos to gauge feed back and to hopefully inspire the maker in you. It is extremely satisfying when you finish a project and people ask where did you get that. I make stuff that will last and last. Aren't we all feed up with buying garbage from the "Big Box Store" that falls apart and breaks after a short while? If you are reading this far, you must be a maker or a maker in the making, that's terrific. We are all at different levels of skill and knowledge, but we are having a go at doing something that we love. All the best and I hope I hear from you and learn about your projects too.

I'm just out from a 3 month stay in hospital, and i'm gagging to get into my wee workshop and fix things again, it will be a couple of weeks before I get back at it , but watching you as usual certainly wets the whistle and inspires to do stuff. always good to see how you do stuff. keep the tilt in yer kilt. Keep on fixing.
Eeek Gad! 3 Months in hospital! I hope that is where you work and not the patient, if so I hope you are recovering well. I can't fix people, well except I'm pretty good at getting splinters out. All the best mate.
6:48 I've noticed missing drip hole at the pump-crankcase joint. It might be wise to grind a 0.5mm, 1mm wide channel for a pressure relief if water comes through the seal again, or engine oil... lot of pumps I've seen have that feature.
Think only of the fun you had repairing, the sense of achievement in beating the stubbornness of things to come to pieces ,the satisfaction of completing a repair, and of course the cash you saved Well done Scott,I feel the same when the farm repair level go’s exponential but I’m always ecstatic after. Cheers from down south
Hi Scott. I find it amazing to watch your ability on repairs excellent video & so much better than people throwing things away & buying new. Hope your all well & keep up the video work. Take care.
I lashed out on a brand new ride-on for the acreage we had, it was a twin-blade version, but it didn't take long to destroy the deck, it was just a flimsy pressed steel thing, so I fabricated a plate version, that didn't break in a hurry. I swapped out the plates and small blades for a 1 piece solid blade, 2 of course, they don't swing out of the way when you hit something, but tend more to ride up and over rocks and just chop off small low tree stumps. My biggest problem was the ground had so many rocks in it and running over them all the time would just keep working them to the surface. 😏
Yes the pressed steel decks are for those perfectly flat, beautiful lawns. Bush blocks need the fabricated decks for sure. Kudos to you for making one. Rocks and tree roots!
A man of many talents indeed!!!......Nice work ......I recently repaired my Clipsal CBUS Audio switcher....its power supply was blowing fuses, watched lots of video,s and replaced 4 components and brought it back to life....Was all chuffed ....
One of the main reasons I've watched your channel is because I'm the same way. I love fixing things and making stuff! I will say you're at a much higher level than myself, but I still feel a kinship! When I was 12- 13, the dryer stopped working and Mom was rather upset about having to buy a new one. I asked if I could check it out. My brothers always had me fixing their bikes or other stuff they didn't want to mess with, and I'd discovered I had a mechanical bent for such things. Anyway, Mom read me the riot act about what could I possibly do to make it better? I suggested it wasn't like I could make it not work even more. She shrugged and gave me the go ahead. I started unscrewing things and removing clips and before long I was back upstairs telling Mom, "If you'll call Sears (it was a Kenmore), give them this serial number or this model number and they should be able to get you another one." "What makes you think this is the problem?" "See this burnt section where the coil is broken because of being burnt through?" She ordered the part and I had it back together and blowing hot air in short order! The parents were very pleased, but not enough to give me some extra allowance money. I saved them from buying a new one or an $80 service call or more, and she wouldn't give me $5. However, from that point forward, anything that broke came to me 1st, AND my new nickname was "Joe Kenmore" for the rest of her days. Probably more than anyone really wanted to read, but thanks for stirring up some good memories of days gone by! Keep up the good work, brother.
Thank you "Joe Kenmore" for your message! I love it! When you mentioned dyer I thought "Element" straight away. I've had to change two over the years. Like you say the problems often become obvious once you take a look. Stuff with computer chips are not as easy. I have fixed a few washing machines by changing the circuit board, saving a huge chunk of money. All the best!
I had exactly the same on my Waeco cooler some time back. Broke all glas bottles when I started to deep freeze. Bought a cheap NTC 10k and fixed it myself.
True. I had replaced the deck as it was all rotted out a few months earlier. Seal area was dry at that time but I have to admit, I didn't check closely when I changed the top seal.
Hi Scott - I grew up with a "Make do and mend" mentality as we couldn't afford 'new' - Even though I'm lucky enough to not need to worry about that now, I still fix everything I can as I get a real sense of satisfaction from it. I do love a 'bodge' 🙂
Thank you. I bought it second hand off Marketplace. I'd prefer a bandsaw mill but this gets you into slabbing at a much cheaper price. The trade off is it's a lot more labour intensive.
This is a great video. I now understand how to remove the cam mechanism, didn't understand it until I saw what you did. I would love to see a slower version and an explanation of how you managed to replace the timing. Is the nylon top gear cracked?
Thank you. The top shaft has to be removed to get the new chain over the shaft. It's the only thing I don't like about the machine. I show this in the video. There are manuals on line that help get the timing set right. Sorry I cannot be of more help apart from the video.
Hey bud love your stuff hey don't forget that Angle isn't square l shaped it can be one way some l channel is dead nuts square you know at a 90 and some any it works thow iv got a few I made this way
