As a retired plastic surgeon, I explore many areas of my current interests including repair, restoration, wood working, metal working, tool review, hunting, traveling, and farming. Please join me on my journeys through these different areas of interest.
I also purchased a hose, and shut off valve so when the 20 lb tank is upside down it is easier to fill, and less cumbersome trying to get to the valve on the 20lb tank.
Yes, you are absolutely right. You need to take the extruder off of the carriage to access the torx screw. To release the nozzle. I should do a video on the five head now that I have it. Thank you for your comment. Consider subscribing. Joe.
Thanks for the video. Great information on the Pulse Bar. That's a very clever idea that Polaris came up with. I've seen those connectors advertised but wasn't sure they would really work.
Thank you for your nice comment. If you wish to buy those connectors, I have a link to it in the video description. I do get a small royalty from that but you pay exactly the same price. They work really well. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
So you ask a great question. I am not sure where to find that replacement part. I would have to do an online search or possibly eBay because I don’t think the readily available. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thanks for your question. I think our batteries lasted about 10 years believe it or not. When yours fails I hope you find the video useful and replacing it. Consider subscribing. Thank you, Joe.
I bought the exact same tub and was having so much trouble understanding the manual about the faucet part. I didn't know half the English terms, pictures were in black and white in manual and also I've never touched a wrench in my life before. You give me hope. Hopefully it goes as easy as you made it look. 😅 Also thanks to you I don't have to buy a hole-saw to cut out the holes😂
Thank you so much for your kind remarks. I know you’ll have success and putting yours together and mounting the faucet. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
You ask a great question. I assume you can, but I do not have a bamboo printer so I’m not certain. Be sure that the parts aren’t too big for your printer sheet. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Engine braking is very useful and you don’t put anywhere or tear or heat up the brakes. The descent control is using engine breaking but also intermittent breaking of the individual wheels. I hope the video was useful to you. Descent control is an excellent feature. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
You’re OK you ask a great question. I do not believe 3M tape is included with the doorbell, but it’s easy to get on Amazon Amazon or eBay or any HomeGoods store such as Lowe’s or Home Depot, etc. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
I contacted Stihl and asked if the files could be replaced with different size files for different chain pitches too much they stated no. But much to my surprise you can’t even replace the original files once they wear out with the same size file. Below is exactly what they wrote. At $47 I will pass. “. Thank you for contacting STIHL Inc. Regarding your inquiry, we regret to inform you that the files in the STIHL 2-in-1 filing guides are set from the factory and cannot be removed/replaced. We maintain our availability for any further questions you might have. Kind regards, STIHL Inc. 536 Viking Drive VIRGINIA BEACH, VA 23452
That is so incredibly disappointing to hear. Although the files are incredibly good, they’re hardened and they will probably last a long time they’re not gonna last forever. I am very disappointed. You can’t replace those files. I did not know that. Consider subscribing. Thanks.Joe
@@JosephHunstad Hello Sir, please look at my follow up comment. Several people commented stating they thought I was wrong and I found it hard to believe what I received in writing from Stihl. So I called them. The rep said the exact opposite. The files can be replaced, but not with a different file size . The rep even provided me with part numbers for the flat and round files. I emailed Stihl back with what the rep said and they replied that they were very sorry for the incorrect information and yes, the files could in fact be replaced. I stated I was disappointed that Stihl would provide incorrect information about their own product. Sorry for posting misinformation, but I was only going by what I received from Stihl in writing.
Good video i have one recommendation tho i was always told not to drag a file backwards it dulls the file and most likely the chain I would assume also
You make a good point. I understand that dragging the file backwards, particularly with significant force would doll the file but the files are hard and steel harder than the teeth so if you’re dragging it back like I tend to do with minimal pressure it’s probably OK. Good point consider subscribing. Thanks.Joe
Why in the world this was installed incorrectly, spline key position is not correct? Protip for the spindle length: it is always a set distance from the lock mounting surface, so measure door thickness and and this known number to it and cut the spindle, no need to install it by threading it on and off.
You make a really good point. The reason that I had a locksmith do this as I knew I was going to get quite a bit of controversy generated by this. Your point is correct it could’ve been done better and it was an ideal, but it does work well and I hope you found the video somewhat useful. Thanks for your Analysis, which is right on. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you for your question. Yes I’m pleased to say that the DeWalt vacuum still works very well both dry vacuum and wet. It has a very strong suction and is very useful in my shop and elsewhere. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I hope you found it useful. I have really enjoyed this battery powered grease gun actually makes greasing not only easy but fun. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
When you start your build or better if you have a shop glue / tape a magnet on a wall or on your desk and that magnet is now the master magnet for the rest of the build. Now you will clock all of your magnets off of the master magnet so they all attract / repel in the same direction. Also at the beginning of the build take a permanent marking pen and mark all of the magnets on one side so they are all installed with either the marked side on the outside or the marked side on the inside of the hole.
Thank you for your absolutely excellent idea that would make placing magnets so straightforward and you would never mess them up. Thank you for your suggestion. It’s great. I’m going to employ that with my next bill. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
That sounds very dangerous. Please check the polarity to be sure the battery is put in the correct orientation. Otherwise I don’t really have an answer for that but it sounds like there’s a short circuit. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
I have a 2018 Polaris XP 1000 and after the local Polaris dealer installed a heater last year I have now realized that the performance/standard/work and the 2 wheel/4 wheel/1 wheel switches aren’t working. It is stuck in 2 Wheel drive and I’m guessing standard performance. Do you have any suggestions on how I could fix it?
I’m sorry that’s happened to you. But since the dealer seem to have changed the situation, I would return it to the dealer and have them sorted out. Who knows what they did but it’s probably not that difficult for them to figure it out since they installed the heater. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
@@JosephHunstad Joe, that was the first time I’ve ever asked a question in comments and I thank you for responding! I did subscribe and like. It was over a year before I needed and realized I did not have 4WD because I rarely drive my Ranger since taking a new job. Sappington pro outdoor in Jackson, Missouri is my local dealer, but I will never take anything there again. They arrogantly took no blame for the problem, but would look at it for a service fee. Also, they charged me twice What their estimate was for putting the heater in. Meanwhile, I realized they put the switch in backwards so now I do have four wheel/one wheel/2 Wheel Dr. but the performance/standard/work button still does not work and was click in the correct way. I’ve checked every fuse and relay that I could find and finally gave up. Again, Thank You! Have a blessed day.
Thank you for your comment. I do frequently replace the battery and check it to be sure it’s working but in this case the squirrels unfortunately had chewed through the wires and the plastic main basin and the purchase and I had to replace those. It has worked well since then. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Yes, I will help you. Look up online a diagram of a six stage reverse Kosice water filter. You will find many images many examples of this some better than others, but that will clearly show you all of the water connections and help you. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Oh, that is so sad. I understand not wanting to remove the rivets because it’ll be difficult to put them precisely back the way that it was made. If you can see that shaving possibly a jewelers forcep with an ultrafine tip - they are actually very inexpensive - might be able to remove it. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you very much for your comment. This is a useful tool admittedly I don’t use it that often but when I needed it it really has worked well. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
If I send you my jack, will you rebuild it? 😄 Serious though, How many turns did you back out the screw on the right ( with the needle valve)? I think my screw is all the way in.
So great question. Typically I I bottom the screw out and then back it off six turns that’s just a beginning point and then you can you can bring it out more or less based on the function of the Jack but it’ll probably work well at that point. Six turn seems to be a good starting point Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you for your nice comment. I was actually disappointed that I obscured the view and probably needed to zoom in more on the individual steps. I might reshoot it. But I have the links to the directions and the STL so you can print those parts. They seem to work a lot better for me, but I’m still having problems with TPU. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
If you are using a different kind of plastic gourd that doesn't have those dimples that he was drilling under, you can drill a couple of 1/2" holes in the same area and install a 90 degree plumbing PVC street elbow into the hole, with the outer hole turned down. The plumbing hardware guy at your Lowe's will know what that is and show you. Rain will not enter and the gourd will be many times cooler than not being drilled even on an 85° day with sun, temperatures can rise within the gourd that are well over 100°. This causes some babies to jump out so hot. Avoid that from happening and install plastic elbows into your gourd. I glue them in with caulk. Also clean out my gourd a lot more thoroughly, to prevent any disease being transferred to the next year. It's easy to do, after dumping the old nesting by hand, simply use a hose to get the worst out and then take a bottle brush or new toilet bowl brush to the inside. There are lots of spray cleaners that you can use on them, but I like simply a mixture of white vinegar with a little water sprayed in with a utility pump hand sprayer. Wet it down completely and then let it set for a few minutes, then use your hose, the thoroughly flush.
Hey, that’s great information. Thank you very much for your comment. We had a very successful year this year with more than 20 martins currently in the house. We’re blowing away. We need to add eight more gourd for next year. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Hey Joe great video! Another question for you: Our gate stops after tapping the hinge/ lock but closes about an inch shy of where it should to engage the locking mechanism. Do we need to reset the open and closed positions manually to fix this?
That’s a very good question. I believe you do need to reset manually the open close points to fix that. I hope your Gates working well. I really like my new one. I think it’s a vast improvement over the previous one. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
This is an old version of the Inspiron 3000 laptop. Dell no longer makes them this way. The keyboard is not removable from the front and the battery is not accessible easily unless you remove the back panel. This video is for 2022, about the same year I bought my Dell Inspiron 3000. Must be a very old version of the Inspiron 15.
Thank you for your comment. I did not know that it was an old version when I put the video out. I think the laptop at that time was current but time does March on. Thanks again for your comment. By the way, the addition of RAM did not speed up, my computer noticeably. Thanks. Consider subscribing. Joe.
OK, you ask a very good question. No one really knows the answer to that however, you should make it such that the temperature becomes stable. Probably probably a couple hours is all you need but typically I leave it overnight. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you very much for your kind comment. That is a great file. It makes it really easy and I’m glad you found the video useful. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Hey, I understand this is not the very finest piece of machinery but for basic grinding, which is what I use during metal working it works fine. Thanks, consider subscribing. Joe.
Oh that’s funny. I understand. Yes, it was a bit of a challenge. I used to find screwdriver once I positioned it to get it to pop in there. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Hey, you are so welcome. Yes why not save some money instead of having to buy directly from Prusa. Thanks for your comment. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Thank you for your question. I’m sorry that you have a leak. Number one you can reuse the current weights you have on your new hose and I believe you can buy a new spray hose at Lowe’s Home Depot or other stores like that. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
If the jack appears to look similar to the jack, I rebuild I believe the kit will be just fine. It actually comes with extra O-rings and seals that allow it to be used on multiple jacks. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Glad I stumbled across your channel. New sub here. Curious, what size and brand of electrical wire would you recommend for connecting accessories? I recently bought a 2023 Ranger XP 1000 crew Northstar Ultimate and I plan on adding a light bar and a couple 5” cubes. Is there a particular brand you like? I’m a DIY’er for most projects except electrical. I tend to let the smoke out of things. Should all my wire be the same size of the bus connector wire? Thanks for the video
Excellent question and congratulations on your RANGER. You will love it. Yes, I would use the same wire gauge that’s in the pulse bar connectors. That way you’ll be safe. There are so many brands of lights to choose from. Take a look at the video. I did on the light bar installation for the Ranger it lists the brand which has worked well for me. Thanks for subscribing. Take care. Joe.
Hi Joe. Just bumped into this video. Twenty years ago I got a free mortising attachment with my Delta drill press. Never used it because someone said something negative about it. Well yesterday I install it and found it works great! I'm a hobbyist with a nice 1/3 basement shop and I have no more room for tools. This attachment fits the bill. With knobs and such attached it's not going back in the plastic case. I'll find drawer space for it. Should take but 5 minutes to reinstall on the drill press. Anyway, thanks for the video. Great refresher and all the info in one place. I like that. :). I did see someone stick a ruler using a magnet to the chisel and then measured the distance from the ends of the ruler to the fence to get the chisel square to the fence. But your way work fine also which is how I do it. Thanks again Jim - Atlanta
Thank you very much for your comment. I’m glad you found your attachment and now with properly sharpen bits. It’ll be super fun to use. Consider subscribing. Thanks. Joe.
Hi Joe thank you for the video. I'm going to be putting a led front bumper light on and want it to be on with the switch, on the bus bar plug go i just leave out the red and slice in the blue and black?
Thank you for your question. First of all, I have a video that you might want to check out uninstalling a front bar LED light with a switch. It goes through the step-by-step. Thanks. Joe.
