Hi Guys, I'm "Damo" and this is my channel "The Shed Sesh" all about the shed. Being in it. Using it. Loving it!
The shed always has been, always will be and always should be a place for designing, inventions, building, making, mateship, contemplative thought and relationship making.
I grew up in the shed helping the old man build and fix things. I learn't how to use tools, look after tools, how to be safe around tools and have the confidence to create, to look after my car, my house and generally everything.
This channel will be based around the shed. I'll video all of my projects and explain a bit about how I did them. I'm no expert at any one thing. I'm just an average guy. I am a Professional Engineer by Degree but in general it's all about getting out there and giving it a go. I just love being in the shed!
I'm going to give a solute to my old man who put the time and effort into me as a kid and taught me to be hands on and that anything created by man can be fixed by man.
Know this video has been up for a few years but thank you for taking the time to film. Great video and you are a real bloke. I like how you explained all your mistakes, your assumptions and errors. Then moved on. You also didn’t ramble and try to sell everything you touched. Mate, I do have one question; how much space do you have from the hoist columns to the back of the shed. And how much space do you have between the front of the car and the back of the shed?
You're the only one that's done the install the easy way. Every other video I've seen has people pulling the top part of the dash apart just to get the bottom trim off. About to find out firsthand myself
Howdy Shed Seth , I am trying to FIX my 1968 HOLDEN KINGSWOOD HK Window Winding Mechanism . Rare Spares don't makes these parts . Thanks for your video . ROBBIE 🐎🏁
Awesome mate, I was searching for White Knight 300g Pot Belly Black and this video came up cool, was checking to see what it looked like, going to maybe try this on my extractors of the new HJ I picked up 😂
Put a very similar looking 2-post lift in my new "shop" as we call them in America. Can't wait to actually use it. Thanks for sharing your experience! Question: why are Aussie sheds uninsulated metal? Seems it would get terribly warm, or cold. Or is it a building code thing?
Thanks for the vid. I have a BA ute and I was thinking about tub removal and putting a tray on, but liked the idea of a tub trailer since no one is doing them these days and scrapping the tub seemed wasteful. But I had no idea what to do about trailer frames, suspension or axles so your vid was very helpful for me to understand some key points. By the way nice holden coupe in the background?. LE or HQ monaro?
So do you have to maintain the horrible indicators if you put a Hq bumper on? I don’t want to put the commercial bumper back on and want to use the Hq one.
Hey mate, dual system, maybe 2.25, with no cross over and standard headers. Don’t know what the muffler are. We’re on the car when I bought it 25 years ago 👍👍 A bit droney at 100 but reckon a crossover should sort that.
I bought a 100+ year old comfort potbellied stove that was in great condition but rusty, I just applied stove polish right over the rust.Its just carbon black and a soft wax. Use a damp cloth and it polishes to a high shine. it is fireproof and just needs to touch up every year or so. Barbecue paint will grey out .
Hey bud, nup. Just what I did in the vid. They seem to handle the weight ok. You’d hope that jayco chose them to take the weight of their own options. So far so good 😊
Common problem on 308's with high km's on them, happened to me, the taping noise on my engine was the valve pushing the piston top down as the top separated from the rod and pin
Ha, geez. Makes sense. did you save it or too much damage? I was surprised this didn’t explode but unless I’ve missed some cracks she should live to power another old girl. Thanks for watching 👍
As far as home wiring jobs go, yours is one of the better examples. You didnt use a vice or angle cutters to try and crimp the wires.. Only changes I would make is to use heat shrink instead of electrical tape, and expose a bit more of the wire going into the anderson pins,, (use heat shrink to secure the braided sheathing to the pins as well.. Over al, well done. (P.S. I am picky with wiring/crimping, as I an an RAAF trained Avionics Tech/Elec fitter of 50 odd years experience)
Hey Laurie, as far as I know this is what you do with potbelly stoves. Without paint they will rust. A cast frypan can get away with seasoning but I wouldn’t have thought a potbelly would. I suppose they call the paint “potbelly black” for a reason 😊
It can be heated up with a good hot fire and coated in bacon grease, tallow, or just crisco. The cast iron will soak it up just like a skillet. Apply with a paint brush. Reapply every once in a while. It'll be black and rust free. Also, no toxic fumes the first burn like paint.
Question…I have the same stove. However, I’m missing the middle piece with the door. Is there anyplace where I can get this missing portion? Thank you!
Hey Laurie, not sure where to get parts for these. They aren’t a popular item now a days. Maybe just keep an eye out for one that’s wrecked but has the part you need.
any reason to not crimp the Anderson lugs in, done in like 30 seconds vs soldering? from what I've heard soldering can fail - at least when done DIY, so crimping would seem a better idea for DIY
Hey JB, you are correct. There are 2 camps with wiring. To solder and not to solder. Problem with the Anderson 50A pins is they are huge compared to the wire going in them so the crimp would have to be VERY good. If you were poking in a 50A wire then crimp all the way 👍
Hey mate. Would it be too much to ask for the plans or dimensions of your bottom under-tub parts? Mine has a canopy and it's VERY heavy and I cannot flip it over to measure it
I can mate but might take a few days to get. Of course I never wrote them down haha. You after the bolt hole locations? Spring hanger locations etc? Anything else?
@@TheShedSesh Yes please mate, width and length, bolt hole locations, hanger locations, and anything you'd be willing to add for a young player. I've never done anything like this before and I'd be so grateful.
