Hey Dan! One of our channel members pointed us to this video and your channel. We'd like to feature it in our Tool Show this Friday. We'll just mention the subject and point our viewers to this video. Any issue with that? Thanks for the great review! - Rob
They have SOME decent power tools too. The Javn 16v high-torque drill I got works great. It had no problem even removing some rusted in 2" deck screws. As long as you READ the description thoroughly (for size/dimensions), check the reviews (the lowest ones in particular), and look for videos of them HERE to see them work, you can find some hella deals!! I nabbed that drill for $28 and it's AT LEAST as good as some I've seen selling for $100...... You can SAVE a bit on stuff you're not in a hurry to get by not "checking out" right away. Leave stuff in your cart for a few days, and check you're messages on the main page. They'll tell you if any of the prices have dropped. Items come and go quite frequently, and prices change almost daily, so that's a good way to get a better deal. EVEN AFTER you've made your order, and you've gotten it, wait a day or two and click the "Order Details" for your order and click on "Price Adjustment". If ANYTHING in your order dropped in price you'll instantly get a credit. (that little trick has gotten me probably $40 or so over the last 8 months). On your "discontinued" glasses, sometimes they come back, and are only listed as discontinued because the seller RAN OUT of them (sometimes temporarily). If you search, you can also often find another seller that has them but they may be a couple % higher (and sometimes lower) than the price you paid. If you get a dud (garbage, broken, useless) item, don't be afraid to request a refund. Most people won't bother on cheap stuff because they expect it to cost more to ship back than the item cost, but MOST OF THE TIME (unless you do it a lot), they don't even want it back, and will instantly credit your account (I've had about 6 and haven't had to send one back yet). Yes that means you still have to spend it there, but that's a policy that even a lot of physical stores are taking up, even if you LEAVE THEM the item you're returning. I've bought a LOT from Temu, and so far am VERY happy.. My FAVORITE items are my $2 under cabinet rechargeable motion sensor lights (I not only have them under my cabinets, but in my door frames as night lights - I haven't had to turn on a light in my apartment in MONTHS!), my $8 40watt RMS stereo amplifier that's on 24/7 hooked to my T.V./Computer (they list it as 400watts but it's not), my $40 3 piece hair clipper/trimmer/shaver kit that I use every day, and probably my MOST USED item is my $1.75 stirrer that I use probably 3 times a day stirring those annoying powdered drink mixes that like to clump up.
Just been looking at this compressor. How suitable did you find it for spraying paint? I seen the primer video and the coverage looked quite weak like you’d need to go over quite a bit? Is the air strong enough to pull dirt up from carpets?
Which primer video? I haven’t used this compressor to spray any primer, only black and green military paint, but it easily does the job. With the synthetic military paint, you spray it on in thinner coats, unlike 2K paint which you can spray heavier.
@@Renovation-Dan I may be mistaken, I thought I seen another that was spraying gray! Would you recommend for smaller repairs? If I just needed to do a section of a bumper etc?
I think the only priming I’ve done on my channel is with a rattle can, rather than spray gun, so it may be another video. I’ve used it for big jobs and small jobs and I’d definitely recommend it.
I was coming on here to encourage you to take your own advice and replace those pliers. That was until the “dad joke” 😆. Now all I want to say is well done on that! 😅 Dad jokes are obviously safe in your hands 😂😂😂
Have tried this paint and other water based paints. They scratch off too easily and you will end up doing it every year like here. I did my door with oil based primer, undercoat and topcoat. Looked really good and doesn’t scratch off .
I used this on the garden room door also a few years ago and that is still going strong. The dog jumps up at the handle of the back door to let himself in, which is what scratches it off. I have no affiliation with Frenchic by the way, incase this reads as a defensive comment 😂😂
Hello. I think the van looks great. I am thinking of buying a Renault Master for a my own build. What has your ownership experience been like? Any problems with the van?? Thank you in advance.
Thank you. We have since sold the van to cover maternity leave costs but whilst working on it I was pretty impressed with it. No major rust issues and it was mechanically really good. We’re planning on doing another van when our daughter gets slightly older and I wouldn’t hesitate in getting another Master. I believe the engine is the same as the Nissan Navara, which I’ve had for the last 5 years and have never had any issues with that.
You should be able to, depending on how long the bit is. The table is adjustable up and down to suit the bit length, it can drop quite low for longer bits.
When I filmed it, it was just covering doing the service as part of the camper van conversion we did. If I was to do it again I’d definitely include more info like you say. I’ll add a pinned comment with the oil and socket sizes in for reference for people. Thanks for the comment
I use Q CLEAR from TM Chemicals, brilliant stuff but expensive @ £39 per five litres but is highly concentrated so goes a long way and most importantly it works with no scrubbing. Great video.
It would probably help slightly. I’m not sure exactly what it is that makes the yeast smell bad but a couple of hours in the sun seems to do the trick. I think it’s a mixture of the heat and time, so putting warm water in then leaving it in the sun would probably be the sweet spot.
This is a beautiful creation. If this is something that you hope to recreate, possibly as a business, I'll bet it could be done affordably and less laborious using something like an Aircrete method (it would be light enough for customers to realistically carry as well). Hope you continue this artistic path, because I think it will take you very far.
Thank you. It was my second attempt after a failed version one (I’m making a video out of the failed attempt too). I’ll definitely make more of these at some point. In terms of the cost, it wasn’t too expensive - I didn’t track it but I’d guess £30. The weight but be the issue but I think it could be made a lot lighter like you say. I’m not sure exactly what goes into aircrete, but my dad made a cast concrete chair and added polystyrene balls (the sort for filling bean bags) into the concrete and it made a big difference to the weight.
@@Renovation-Dan The polystyrene is an interesting idea. I recently saw a concrete cast artist use Baking soda in wet clumps that he would splat in the mold, but it was really only for a certain look, not weight. The basic concept of Aircrete (that I have seen on RU-vid), is a process of mixing concrete with foam from a simple homemade bubble gun, instead of water alone, and the tiny tiny bubbles, make it porous like a concrete sponge. I have not yet tried it, but it looks very promising.
@@monarchblack3004 ah clever, I hadn’t thought of adding air in like that. I might have to experiment with a small form and try a few different options, seeing what gives the lightest block whilst still being solid.
Cheers pal, never thought about using a normal mesh curtain with a curtain pole. We have always bought the fly screens you velcro to the outside but they need changing every year cos they get dirty really quick
Perfect!!!! Great video and very well explained step by step. Good health to you Sir!!! Thank you for sharing. I shall copy you and build one for myself.
