I know it's been eight years, but I've just noticed the title of this video. It's a scandal that society should allow a small engine to go shop lifting and get away with it. I blame the parents.
Just a quick question about your Jump Starter. You use this starter a lot, and you haven't , so far, mention it as far as I know. So, this looks like a really cool tool, and as I see it, anytime a good mechanic uses a tool, or odd tool design, I'm all in!! As an Aircraft guy, I've had my share of tools that were welded up for a certain jobs, or designed to simplify a real pain job under the tin of airplane engines. That said, did you modify your Jump starter?? I know that if you can fit an 12V 12ah hour battery in the jump starter, that's my kind of road I want to travel. Like you, modify, modify, modify is the way you operate, and that is very good. You have many.many skills, and you have the knowledge and eye-hand coordination to do many things modern wrenches do not do! So, also as a horder, let me know what you think of a compact car heavy duty 12V 18 or higher battery in a home-made Jump Starter. These new model Jump starters are way, way out of a retired guys pay grade. Thanks for the time. And thank you for teaching me many things about V dubs. Great car, especially buses. Wrench-on, friend!!
Dear Mustie, love what you do, love the attitude, love the fact you really want to help people LEARN!! Hats off to you, bud! Gotta ask what type of Video camera do you use? I have an old mic stand, with a simple flat verticle mount with a hole in it. I also have the reverse "S" bar you use to mount your camera on. Don't know any more about your video's, except that they are excellent!. Keep up the good that you do, and I'm proud to call myself a "fan"!!
I too am looking for the brand and model number of the manual lift table/welding table. Can you please provide that information to your subs? Looks like there are three of us looking for that information. Thank you very much. Love your videos and content. Keep up the good work.
@@warddan2002 I was thinking take a motorcycle jack and build a table for it, but probably not strong and doesn't go high enough. They make other "atv table lifts" that are similar. Quite pricey though, I'll keep working on the ground or with jackstands for now.
Of course love all your vids, was wondering on any more info on your pump hydraulic/welding table, as you said, everything else I have seen sit too high when lowered.. Brand or model number,, I am up in Canada, so searching is a bit harder,,
just found this video,i am looking for a midrise lift for working on my car . sadly everyone wants alot of money for there rusty crap,so the hunt continues. i have a handy air lift table with homemade side extensions i picked up for $600.00 last summer,money well spent. i also have what i believe is a walker hand crank mini bumper type jack i got for tractors,golf carts,atv,s and such for $40.00. grey air jacks are selling here for close to 500,which is way to much coin
roger oconnor An on line auction just concluded last week and they sold A Grey for 150 bucks. Even had the rubber pad attachment for the top. They come in handy for tranny removal/install. I should have bid on it but I already bid 100 bucks on A box of Snappy puller's so my auction cash was tight. I won the puller's by the way. It was an old repair shop going out of business. They also had 3 service lifts but I didn't even look at what they went for. No sense making myself feel bad!!
You have used your head and spent a few dollars in shop equipment that would make mechanic and fab-work-welding much less labor and help you get your work done easier, faster, and safer to hopefully take the heavy load off the human body and reduce the high risk blowing out a back and be left unable to enjoy life or do any work at all.
Any chance you could tell me the Brand and model number of that little lift table? I've been looking for one for work, but haven't been able to find one that goes that low. I have to move bolt bins, full of hardware all the time, and I've been looking for a low profile cart that I could wheel under them, jack it up a few inches then wheel them out of the way. My poor back is getting too old for the old butt shove routine. I appreciate it.
I also would like a floor lift like that for the main shop since my ceilings are low also, I could use it for brakes, tires etc.....I have found a few but not really like that, they are more mobile with the big flat pads. I could use the other two also ....lol...lol....
EXCELLENT VIDEO !! THAT SHOULD WIN AN AWARD !!! Thanks for doing that man, I have a 12k lb Ben Pearson 4 poster but it is not in the main shop because of ceiling height. I want a cycle table to work on shit so I am not always on my knees. I think I am being cheap, I found one for 750.00 brand new, the guy ordered then sold his bike, comes with everything including extensions. If you price yours, plus ext. metal, and labor would be close. Might have to get out the wallet !! Damn !!...lol..Thanks
