I figured out why I enjoy these videos so much. It's because the videos remind me of the old mechanic shows I used to watch with my dad back in the day on TV. Thanks for sharing the info you do Joe. Keep it up!
I remember those days as well .....good times, and good company, especially when Dad would call BS on something he saw😂..... Old proverb..... something about apples falling.....🤷
I appreciate it !!.... This was something that needed to be done, cause there are VERY few "here it is, no sugar coat" motorcycle guys out there these days!!
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos because, 1. They are informative 2. Your kinda quirky like one of my favorite teacher back in the early 80's before I graduated high school
@JoeTheMountainJedi yes he made learning INTERESTING, I used to live in Port richey but moved back to Kansas where I grew up I've had the opportunity to meet Josh at the shame , I used to own a 07 yamaha royal star venture with over 124000 miles when I sold it for a kawasaki voyager 1700 that got ran over 29 days after I bought it, so this year I'm without a motorcycle but am determined to get a roadmaster next may
Hey Joe: I get that sizzly-pop thing all the dang time. Maybe it's time ta have the Grey matter checked. Not just you - me too. I'm glad to see you've got your own little place on the net now. It took me about 4 seconds to become a subscriber. Now, between you and Shadetree/Josh, I got somethin' more to keep me occupied as I sit in my garage in Yokohama, Japan with no tools and nuthin' ta fix. Oh, fine logo. I'd wear that on a shirt, if you decide to have 'em printed. My toolboxes are still in Canada, but I'd be proud to put a Joe The Mountain Jedi sticker on the top-box some day when I get home. Much luck to you in your new endeavor. We're all lucky you're sharing your experience with us. It fills up the empty space in the grey matter. Thanks!
That's what I'm talking about. When I get done with my hard day, I'll be sitting in my air condition laid back in my tighty whities, and a pair of flip flops, with a light coat of oil on.
Your welcome, your welcome, your welcome. Really looking forward to seeing you develop. Thanks for the shop tour and share as to how you solved your lighting issue. I like the idea of your amazon product review and link. I like your straight forward review and impressions.
Appreciate that sir!!... I'm always looking for "return on minimal investment"(it's a polite way of admitting that I'm a cheapskate!!).... If I find something I like, and feel good about, I make sure I spread the word, cause a dollar saved here, is a dollar earned there!!
Hey Joe, When you go to upgrade the parts washer to have a strainer in line, do yourself a favor and as a strainer you can use a ladies nylon stocking to strain your liquid. I have a parts washer that I made back in the 80s out of a fiberglass sink, and wooden frame, 20 gal barrel and a parts washer pump and put a nylon stocking on it as a catch all for straining the fluid and it still works great today. One good part other then it's cheap is that you just turn it inside out to clean it and you will find any part that fell off your parts. I use a hose clamp to hold the nylon on. You can do a lot with a small space if you think about it before you jump in. Later
Definitely your calling 🙌 you're a natural behind the camera.. reminds me of the shadytree mechanic show that I watched as a youngster after getting my first car .. look forward to learning some of your tricks of the trade along with a few laughs of course 😆
I was stationed just outside of Savana GA, on Ft Stewart, for a year. I dream of the desert ever since. I can only imagine what the humidity is like where you are.
Glad you started your own channel. Im going to be here supporting you the whole way. Like the crazy uncle i never had, I learn something every time from your videos even if its a task Ive done before, I learn a little tip or trick i didnt know before. Glad to be here from the beginning of your RU-vid journey and hope you get a lot of followers on here because you deserve it.
I was watching the video on the ran when parked where you was by yourself and said he should start him a channel. Low and behold here you are. Keep up the good work.
I have the same lights and, yeah it is almost impossible to realize how much they change an area if you have not lived it LOL. Best upgrade I have done in my shop.
@@JoeTheMountainJedi I’ve never worked on motorcycles (excluding very basic maintenance) but I am a former auto & industrial mechanic. I changed careers 27 years ago so your content, deep knowledge and skill is captivating to me. 👏👏
Thanks for the content joe i love the way you explain things with bikes very easy to follow and u keep me cracked up lol ur gonna be the vice grip garage of motorcycles good luck with the channel ill be watchin
HAHA, looks like a lightbright, that took me back! I have more room in my garage but also trying to store more vehicles so this video is super helpful. Keep it up Joe!
My last job (retired now) we switched to Zep, worked ok- just took longer to soak something was all. Purple Power was for spray bottles in the service truck. We had to use food grade, absolutely no solvent based in the plant.
Setting up a home shop in your garage is a lot different than a professional shop. The functionality is there without using up a lot of space and a whole bunch of space. Best of luck in your own channel, you already have loyal followers from the previous appearances on other sites. Keep up the good work and your Jedi Gym is going to grow 😁
Ramshot powders have become my go to for the majority of my pistol stuff......alliant needs to get their act together tho, cause I'm getting low on RL15, and RL17😭
I have 9 of the harbor freight version of those lights. they are stupid bright as well and not a bad deal. After working in a cave for the last 20 years it like ..... night and day.
That's a cool old Solvo-Sink > 8:02 = Might have to explain to the younger viewers what a "Lite Bright" is ...LOL!....Had one of the originals around 1967-ish. >>You probably already thought of this ... BUT... Depending on how thick the remaining basin sheet metal is around the pinholes...If ...IF it will clean up & not too thin = possible repair with torch & plumbers' solder...??? (add small sheet metal patches to any larger holes?) Maybe braze the pinholes?(higher temps might warp the basin or make holes larger with brazing...???) >Sludge build up at bottom was most likely sealing the solvent in basin short term...LOL!> Have a similar bench top parts washer from early '90s pre-"interwebz" purchase from "cheapo tool" travelling tent sales that used to come around a few times a year + a floor model around same era(Drain plug drip leaked since day one & don't trust it to leave solvent in it even with thread sealer,etc. Just had light bulb moment = wonder if a crush washer would work?) = floor model became a "junque" "catch all" much like your old Snap On cart.(One of those items = "Knew I was hanging onto it for a future reason...LOL!) These older version parts washers have what I would describe as similar to a fuse-able link...i.e. Fumes ignite = flame/heat burns away part of prop link & automatically closes lid to HOPEFULLY extinguish flame...
K1 is a little spendy round these parts, but in this "fisher price/my first parts washer playset", you may be onto something there!!!.... I'll look into that!
thanks for the video Joe, I like your personality... heck we might be cozens... I notice that miss Babe, dose not want to be seen with you, don't worry she still loves ya or you would still be waiting for coffee... love yall...
Already dropped another video. That's really cool man. Really good to see behind the scenes , it adds a sense of honesty and humility. I think if I could make one simple request it would be to try to stay away from the hour plus videos that s*** literally takes me a week to watch. I don't think I'm the only one either. it's actually not a really big deal, Just kind of a thought you know.
I appreciate that!!... And also, I agree with vids dragging out too long ....people tend to "drift" after a time, so I plan on trying to keep it to 45 minutes max, if not 30ish
@@JoeTheMountainJedi I love doing stuff like this. Setting up a well-thought-out workspace, using little funds, and some logic. Don't have to spend a lot. Keep up the great work. Let's get some scoots on the lift!!!

@JoeTheMountainJedi I've been watching Josh's channel for what seems like 10 years man. I loved the ran when parked vids. So I'm excited to see what you come up with. I kinda have an addiction to old bikes, man. I mean, I ride a buell daily. Weird ones to the front of the line 🤔
On your old solvent tank. Could you coat it with the same stuff you used for fuel tank? Masking tape the outside so it does flow out. Gasoline is a solvent so it should survive cleaner.
Thought about that, and while possible, it came down to a matter of cost vs performance....if it leaked in 6 months, I'd be back at square 1, plus the mess/cost of the leaked solvent 🤷
Thanks for taking the time to watch!!!.... I see what a lot of guys in your country are doing just to keep bikes on the road, and I feel spoiled at times!!!.... Y'all are getting it DONE!!👍
