I build things and fix things. I work alone. You'll see house building, woodworking, metal working, fixing a toaster or a lawnmower, or a tractor, welding...lot's of things I do with my hands. I hate to call an electrician or a plumber or a mechanic...I try to do it myself first. You never know what's coming next...but it'll be interesting to watch! I promise.

The longer you let it sit after mixing it, the darker and redder will be the resulting stain. I've found it will start to give pine a light gray bleached look by letting the mix sit just 18 hours. And if I want it darker, I just let sit a few more hours, and give it another coat. I only strain what I need for each coat, leaving the steel wool in the mason jar to continue reacting with the vinegar for the next coat.
Brilliant T it looks amazing great idea building the scaffolding to keep you safe to mate I’d hate to see you fall. So looking forward to seeing part 4
Great work! Love the window detail. When you brought out the rolling box and put it on the roof, all I could think of is “Is this going to end with a visit to the hospital when he falls off?” SO glad you had some kind of safety line on because I couldn’t see it most of the time. Amazing how you do all this yourself!
Really incredible build. And One Dude means One Dude. No one is helping you. That is incredible. I hope that your wife at least makes you a sandwich for lunch. If not Door-Dash is on me.
I am exhausted just watching you go at this build by yourself. Especially the concrete. By hand with a shovel and a wheelbarrow. If that was easy everyone would do it. Impressive job on all of this so far.
@@DDs878 The diamond stones are pretty good for the price. Use them on anything that needs sharpening except small chisels that catch in the holes. I wet them with water to carry away the filings. Wipe the water off when done.
The old saying if you don’t use it you lose it that will never happen to you. And it’s hard to believe you haven’t built this earlier with a view like that. I did wonder to why you didn’t just run a water level around to get your levels a very cheap but accurate tool
I always use a hoe for mixing concrete. I make my mix about like cornbread batter that I can pour into the pan. Love what you're doing. How about making some whirligigs. You're living my dream, living on a lake.
@@crankycarpenter1 I got rid of my old Rockwell 10” table saw to save space in my tiny shop. Rarely miss it. Use cross cut miter saw and fence on bandsaw. Works for me!
Great band saw I have a 14 inch but I’m chasing a 10 inch for making patterns i hate changing blades all the time and a bit lazy to thanks for posting T
@@bradleytuckwell4881 Hey Brad! I have an old Craftsman 12” that I keep a ⅛” blade in. Comes in handy to cut more intricate patterns without having to change blades. Thanks for watching!
Great band saw. I love mine. Did you make your throat plate? That's the only complaint I have with me. Plus, the wooden throat plates I've made have taken way too much adjustment to fit well.
The vinegar dissolves the coating on the steel wool, allowing it to oxidize/rust. White vinegar is 95% water. The iron oxides color the wood. And I really wish the
I AM SITTING HERE WONDERING WHY I HAVNT ALREADY THOUGHT OF THAT? WHY NO ONE ELSE HAS SHOWED ME THAT? THEREFORE WITH A *VERY BIG SALUTE AND THANKS*, I GO NOW TO MY SHOP TO BUILD MY OWN. I AM DEFINITELY A NEW SUBSCRIBER. HAVE A GOOD ONE. WHAT OTHER GENIUS TRICKS AND IDEAS ARE YOU SITTING ON?
Enjoyed the video. That's the kind of stuff I do around the homestead. AND that's the type of music I listen to while I work around here. I played this several times just to enjoy the music.
I have one of these and am very surprised at how well you can get an edge, and how well these diamond surfaces last. I don't think Matey here is any good at sharpening, however.
I was looking around trying to figure out the tree type. I think i found it. It looks like an American basswood. The leaves are very similar anyway. Great video. I enjoy your channel.
I found a busted up Craftsman level ( in Canada), much like yours.The tools were guaranteed for life at Canadian Tire. Brought the dead one in, they gave me a new one of the best quality.
@@onedudeonehammer temperature doesn't have to be exact but yes that's it. Doesn't have to be oil, I often use bee's wax to do it. I showed a couple of young guys how to chase the colors when hardening some chisels we had made. I couldn't believe they had never heard of doing that. Next thing I know they are turning the little leaf key fob's we made blue. You never know what someone missed in their education... LOL... PS...I went to the grocery store this morning and apparently bumped my head on the lift gate of the car. I got home okay but I don't remember how I got home. Blood running down my face gave my wife a real scare. I suppose we need to be more careful as we get older.
