Really you aren’t supposed to use brass knuckles in a punching motion. That will hurt you just as much as your target. You are supposed to use your hand in an up and down hammering motion and hit with the bottom of your balled up fist. There’s much less chance of you breaking your own hand that way.
We didn't make fancy brass knuckles for people to be punching people with. We can make far more effective devices for less effort and money. I have money to wager that most, if not all of you, has ever punched anything with set of knuckles on. Some really dumb and uneducated comments on here.
So far everything is going great with it. No wheel hop on burnouts and handling is as expected with a little truck like this. A panhard bar would be advantageous.
I saw this truck in person last weekend. I had to do a search and see who built it. Truck is bad ass, as is the Pierced Ciderworks tap room. You guys killed it!
Thanks!! If you haven't been in there already, they not only have awesome Cider, but you'll see a ton of our work there. From the floors, to decor, furniture/fixtures, to the huge truck/container stage out back.
I'm hoping to ask a genuine question regarding twisted flat bar steel- does the twists make the bar more rigid or does it result with a more flexible core?
That's a dynamic question. Twisting a bar will make it stronger. If you held a 6' piece of flat bar, like what's in the video, out in front of you, you could wobble it and see the flex. Do the same to a twisted flat bar and it won't wobble the same. But that's simple aspect of it. Depending on the pitch and number of twists coupled with the direction and location of bending force, a flat bar could have some very weak and very strong elements in the same length.
Thanks! I'll have to go back and look at the build pics of it, I can't remember. It even took a minute to remember engine was in it and I have it in the title. 🤦♂️
To the morons in the comment section: braceless dusters have been a thing for a long time. They are used slightly differently, but are just as effective as traditional dusters with a palm swell.
My 72 C20 came factory with 2 link the pan hard bar is the weak link, can’t keep any bushings in it. Ended up using heater hose lol lasts longer than rubber or neoprene
Only problem is you won't have any axle articulation with bushed rod ends, if you go over a rock or a bump on one side the whole trucks gonna lift with it and slam down
There's Heims on the axle side of the rod ends. This gives it all the articulation it needs. Zero issue with suspension travel. It's a street truck with limited articulation space regardless of suspension setup. We weren't looking to have this compensate for rough terrains.
@@Sinister_Reaper I absolutely get the jackass award on this one. I didn't even look back at the video and just responded off of [bad] memory. You're 100% right.
Please punch a hard piece of wood with them (it shouldn’t damage the brass) this will show you the importance of a palm stop and you may have to change the way you use them by readjusting your grip and placement or else they can and will break your fingers
Gave this clown 2 months to respond. We found this comment humorous because we rusted this sign by laying it out behind the shop for about a week. We did nothing else to it except seal it under a clear enamel. There's literally nothing else that could have made this "patina" more authentic.
I’ve been wanting to make awning over my doors and windows. It’s been very intimidating! How did you attach the hood to the wall? It looks like it is welded?
Tomorrow when I get out of bed, I'm going to reflect on how we can make ourselves cooler for you. Your approval is important to us so please feel free to interject your opinion on all of our videos.
