I make stuff for a living, what you see me do here is my Job. I have been using tools for over 50 years. I have developed my comfort level with tools through years of experience. Thank You for watching and subscribing!
Only bigger bandsaw I've seen was in an old (1900ish) redwood lumber mill near me! About 3 stories tall. They also had a completely isolated railroad, for which they had to high-wire in the mostly assembled engine over steep mountain ridges using steam donkeys. Shame they clear-cut the old growth, but what an industrial marvel.
I didn't see you.Cover, what type of thread you used, You're supposed to use a wax string it can be water tight and stretch the leather you You normally wet and stretfrederick and then sew it together then you put it on the seat Or block it to format its shape and like everything you do is like it and artist not as an artisan.
Walmart has some inexpensive reproduction Oilers with a trigger pump and fairly long spouts you can fit a rubber hose over to reach goofy / hard to reach spots they are bronze and i always keep a couple of them in my Boat Engine Rooms with MarvelMystery Oil to keep things. lubricated one of mine. has been in service for nearly 20 years and it’s very often it winds up rolling around in the bildges ! the nozzle is great for reaching into Spark Plug openings and all kinds of crevices i kind of use the Marvel as a general Penetrating Fluid /Lubricant and it’s cheaper than WD40
When you teach someone a trick or a skill and you see them years later using it. In my opinion, there's no better feeling in the world. Everyone can teach somebody something and when you do it makes people's life's better. You're a humble Saint Duresta.
That's crazy.... Just had someone ask me if I could build them one... Gonna definitely be coming back to your videos.... Do you have a place to buy plans from?
Mr. Diresta, you can be very proud of what you are doing with the Graveyard house and the graveyard. You have integrity, the skill, determination and do great things. Before I became an old man, like you, I was not afraid to tackle any job or project.
i usually dye the leather beforehand, and dilute it 50/50 with IPA. that way it goes on more evenly and also you can control the shade more as you can do multiple passes without it getting too dark.
Hey Jimmy, little trick I’ve learned from staining leather for years: dampen the leather first, like you did before making the impression. The moisture in the leather will help the stain disperse more evenly and you won’t get the streaking.
probably most famous in world leatherwork: the Italians. However, a socialist gov't came in , the Chinese jumped in and bought all the companies, then imported illegal china labor, the quality suffered, Italians protested, and i think brand Fendi or similar was a major issue in the fashion world globally, the downfall of quality......
Hi Jimmy, ive now watched your video so many times so i can bould my own whit my eyes closed. Already your video is 1 year old, in this time ive made a insulated workplace/shad in the garden and collected small planks and everything needed for such boat. A litlle bigger and wider and a high fore-end and back-end they called it castlles in the midlleages.. one-two-or 3? small masts whit selfmade sqaresails and a small stationaryoutboard and a rudder whit steeringweel. So my wife and me can go exploring and fishing whit it, and go play whit the sails to see if it sails too?! Ill uppload some pictures here.. Thank you and greetings from the netherlands 🍻
One thing i would've done different is centered around the marker lights. They always end up leaking. So, i would've moved the support that the outer ones cross to the side, and i would've made (from the scrap aluminium) a simple tray that would've lined up with the bottom half of the lights, through the plywood, glued in place with aluminium glue and had that tray run to a 15 mm copper pipe in the center and all the way down under the trailer to dump to exterior. Essentially future proofing this camper for years to come. I've never not seen those leak. The quality of that gasket is just too poor, they don't make these things like in the olden days when the rubber remained pliable for decades and even into our days. jm2c
Hm. Interesting way to make that curved piece. A bit more work, but you get a very clean outer (curved) face as a result. A lot of times i've seen these done (pie cut curves) it results in a messy line as the grinder isn't a precise affair on curved surfaces. Nice, i like it. Into the knowledge tool bag it goes.
Oh, I’d love to see a version with the straps through “belt loops” like you mentioned. I could also see a slightly larger diameter bag helping with some of the issues. Nice work!
"I bought 8 of them and I really did think I'd have more than I need" if only... if only there was some way to know if the amount of wood you have is enough... some way... some way discover the area and volume of things, perhaps a calculation of sorts could be discovered, perhaps there's some relationship between the b x w x h of lumber that could be used in some fashion to know?
Wow so incredible the smile on your face Jimmy is priceless Congratulations on the new saw it’s amazing. Hats off to Keith for the amazing restoration job so amazing how these old machines function and still exist and works so well.
