You can"t beat the look of excellent old-school tools! Neither can you beat the production quality of your videos! Great job as always and thank you for sharing.
Ben- Be very careful pliers are addicting! =D Those came out fantastic, you really got the hand of feathering the flap sander and working the belt sander. I always loved the US shield on those handles. Awesome job!!!!!!!!
@@jasonm8522 I just looked up on ebay and found this. It looks just like them. Might be it. Vintage Smith & Hemenway "Red Devil" No.925 10" Combnation Pliers www.ebay.com/itm/201998252156
Nice job Ben! To prevent getting shocked, I bought one of those wrist straps with the grounding wire. It shunts the static electricity to the frame of the belt sander. I found out about it on a 357magdad video.
I am pretty sure i have that exact same tool, the narrow profile is super handy, at times. I got a little nervous when you were fiber wheeling that nut, i was sure it was gonna get flung across your shop. Cheers
Pliers yes well nice job...I'm thinking of a story where a orphan boy holds up his now empty bowl and says more...more please sir...can't think of the name of it...oh well...love the music...🖖
Nice cleanup Ben. It’s nice to see you doing videos more often now. I’m curious as to what grit did you use with flap wheel and what grit with the belt sander?
The flap disk was originally 65 I think. But it was worn on the edges. The belt was so old, I'm not sure what it was. But I'd say (guessing) it was about 100. Thanks Frank.
Yes. I'm not happy with it though. I had to severely tweak the EQ and compression to make it usable. I'm considering buying a more expensive boom mike. THanks!
@@mrbenmall what was wrong with what you were using before? Just the mike on your camera I assume? Were you just looking to get a little higher quality to your content?
@@timeflysintheshop I was using the microphone on my iPhone 13. The phone is quite far away using the zoom function and the volume would always be very soft to where I had to turn it up all the way in post. I am beginning to realize that there is no inexpensive solution. I probably need to spend the money and buy a legit, good directional microphone. I do not like the sound of the Lavalier mics. At least not the cheaper ones that I've been trying.
