We Found MONEY Inside this Couch that was at the Curb as TRASH! Repurposing Garbage 

Merlin the real Diesel Whistler!

What a fun video! Thanks for the laughs, Dave! Merlin hope your shoes dry out. Leather with patina will be great for your model A’s.

So many things in life we are scared of. If we just try more often than not we surprise our selves. Having someone around to build you up helps alot. Great job boys.

You boys be careful down there in that furnace…..the world needs all of your magic to keep us going!👍🏼👍🏼😃

Merlin for the couch win. Thanks for taking us subscriber's along for the ride. Always a adventure in every video. Love the channel. Keep up the great work. ✌️👍🤙🤙😁😎🍀🍀🍀🍀🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲.

That was the greatest motivational speech at 22 minutes I've ever heard. Merlin, your spirit is the spirit of America.

It so wonderful to have friends like McKay!!!

Try putting the opening of fuel container up top and pour. It works way better than what Dave was doing. It allows air to go in container and prevents the gargling of the liquids. Try it it will work. 33:35

truly awesome seeing Dave & Merlin back together, Dave was so greatfull to have Merlin work his magic and fix his car, honestly Merlin that was wholesome seeing his face when the car fired up, free leather is definetly a score, thanks for sharing

Stuff like that towel business are part of why I love watching. Also the diesel spill. Someone call Greta! :p

Chichen Merlin, I can’t stop laughing 😂, the dog peee on your shoes,lol funny stuff mam,,,, let’s go , brother, thanks BigAl California.

Glad to see my favorite semi old person work on cars & trucks and what ever else he does.😃👍👍

Kool tour of the rats house. killer cadet, literally. what a piece of magic model a. two old biscuits in the sun, makin money, and catchin the mouse. Thanks for sharing. Be well.

It’s been hot this month, 107 here in Vegas is hot enough for me. Got to carry a cooler every where you go, hot stroke is not fun. Be safe and hydrated guys !

Gotta love barber Dave he was always good for a laugh on the show.😂

I spray painted some parts yesterday 115 in the shade and then moved them to the solar oven to bake the finish on. 😂 The parts got up to 145 in the sun...not quite powder coat temps.

That was such a funny story- hidden treasure beside the road in an old couch!

I always learn something new every time I watch your videos, no since I reached the big 70 I have gone to get my ladder to get into the bed of my truck, even with the tall gate down, but when I watched you step on the tire first, I had to go right out(well next morning) to try it!! So I did and low and behold after the third trail "I did it!" Thank you!! Chud a lug, my head still rings!!🤠🤠

Dave is, without a doubt, a happy camper now that his Model T is up and running again. Merlin, you are a great guy!! Who'd-a-thunk picking up an old couch would be so intertaining?! LOL!! Yup, us south central Missourians have a good idea what heat and humidity is about. I don't like it either but it's better than snow!! LOL!!

Dave's ode to Merlin was hilarious!

It's a toss up between Rory, Colt Cever and magical Merlin 🤠

“Just like the bride you wanted for all eternity.” Bahaha!!!

I’ve always liked Dave on the show he didn’t know much about cars and he would admit it but he would try his best at whatever he was working on

Merlin, thanks for the unexpected 'Easter Egg' in the 1970s vintage Olds Vista Cruiser. 1973 Driver's Ed car during summer school; East Bay, Northern Cal. Sequoia Metallic Green, in the 'crate,' everything green interior. AC! Tunes! Memories!!! Good, clean, American fun! ;-)

I laughed so much the way Dave stressed. When it started, you could see the full release. Thanks for sharing this video!😅😊

It would be fun to take the stuff you found in the couch back to its home! Just stick it in the mailbox. I guess you could return the couch skeleton too! LOL

It’s only July and Havasu is getting Hot. You gotta love Lake Havasu. Thanks Merlin, you too McKay

$4 a gallon. Here in U.K. we $8.50 a gallon average. Anyway brilliant long video Merlin. 👍🏻🇬🇧

That deiseal motor sound almost like one of the original flat head 4 cylinder motors that the Model A's came with.

We love that Vista cruiser with the Christmas tree on top during Christmas in St George, he must be down from our old neighborhood, keep it up brother!!!

Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

Hi Merlin. That was great helping Dave out. Lots of good stories. He looked like he needed a friend. Nice score on the leather from the couch! The last recliner I salvaged had a bunch of good angle iron in it and I got a whole box full of 1/4x20 bolts and nuts out of it. I'm still using that stuff!

Merlin is a great moral pumper upper! It's like the old saying, if you don't play, you can't win! And if you can't win, you don't play! Dave's got a good friend in Merlin. Makay you and Merlin. Make a great team! I swear I don't know how you guys handle the heat! Please don't give yourselves a heat stroke! We need your videos and your knowledge that comes with it! Catch you on the next. ✌️ 😊

Merlin, the music magician you got that model running again you can just see by the expression on the guys face how happy he is good job Merlin

Had the same couch 18 years ago, but it had a hideaway bed in it. Belonged to a live in girlfriend that lived with me a couple years. I hated that couch, but it was better then what I had at the time. She moved out, I had a new decent cloth couch within a week. So glad to see her and her dumb couch I stuck to constantly in my shorts leave.

Merlin.... I just luv yer old stories... 😆

I love it when you get over there to fukk with Paul and the Crew. Good show, Good content. ❤🎉 Barber Dave is a total menace, Dennis the menace with a side show Bob.

Last summer, Texas was so damned hot that I was getting 160 degrees off of the DIRT in the sun. When I was a kid back in the 50's, I remember the summers being so hot that we didn't mind drinking from the water hose, everybodies hose. We hag to. You could watch an egg fry on the concrete. Mom made me eat it cause we couldn't waste food. One didn't go barefoot unless you had very tough feet.

Oh yeh,couches are great sources of leather,foam and fabric,the backs are mostly unmarked.👍😉🙃🙃🙃

My wife scored a "free" player piano a while back. She wanted parts off of it for an art project. It took me 3 days to take it apart. My lower back still hurts. Our humidity is way up with monsoon storms every day. We don't get your frying pan temps but 80% humidity at 92 degrees is awful. My buddies in Alabama and Mississippi are laughing.

Paul needs an alarm system!

Merlin is the friend who brings you up as you learn to fix up your stuff.

Actually that Monopoly money has more value than the American $100 does anymore

Boy he was one happy guy !!!

Right on Merlin... thanks

For a few years I worked on a mobile car crushing crew. We went from junkyard to junkyard with a mobile car crusher. Since they were all going to be crushed we always did a last chance scavenge. Change was one thing we always checked for. I became pretty efficient at it. Pop the back seat out, check under it. As you know the old front bench seats had a single piece of fabric that went from the seat back to the underside. The quickest way to deal with that was to jump in the back and just slice it open with a utility knife all the way across. Everything would just drop to the floor. I did that one day with a big Olds. $23.68 in change fell to the floor. We had coffee money for 2 weeks.

Humidity is the worst part of NJ summer. It doesn't even get that hot here, just high humidity.

Love it! I cant wait to see you use that leather material up on a project. What and awesome score. Thank you Mckay! Thank you Merlin!

Found a couch just like that and harvested the leather and foam pad for my 66 C-20 project truck.

I could not stop laughing the entire video. I remember watching you guys on the tv show yrs ago. Dave was the barber/upholstery guy. He used to get all bummed out when Steve wud hire someone else to come do the upholstery and not him. Lol. I loved that show.

Oh Merlin you had your wife surching for the hundred dollars that you guys said you found in the couch and when she seen it was Monopoly money she definitely did not think that was very funny and went straight back inside!! That was hilarious!!! Sorry mama bear!!!

Glad to see I not the only one that rips old couches and love seats , up for the leather to use on other stuff!!! door panels ,seats ,center consoles so forth and sew on lol

Back in the early seventies, the town of Forks Washington paid me to remove a old trailer from their trailer park. The prior renter had left it trashed pretty bad so it was deemed too bad for rental purposes. I towed it to my shop and figured to see just what might remain inside of it. From what I was told, the guy rented it and then sold pot from it. I pulled the drawers out from under the bed as this is one of those narrow twelve foot wide trailers. The guy who had used it before was in jail. I opened up the first drawer and found miscellaneous fives and tens in it. the middle drawer tho was score! twenty thousand dollars still wrapped in the strips from the bank. I am thinking this is as good as it gets. Well the trailer had mice problems and so we start tearing the wall out as its all going into a burning barrel and there was the score... more money the mice had packed into that wall. Over another ten thousand dollars that had chew marks on it but still able to take to a bank for replacement. Amazingly the mice had not ruined it completely as some was but for the amount of money found... yes I kept my mouth shut and put that money to good use as my old truck was dying and other stuff needed repairs so it all went to a good cause. I didn't think about using leather from old couches to repurpose for upholstery in old rigs... great idea.

Made me think of the Big Bang Theory sitcom with the Penny’s recliner and the Rat😂😂😂

"This is stupid fast! Is that the brake?" LOL Classic.

The diesel knowledge you have. Absolutely phenomenal. A wealth of knowledge And agreed, couches always have money 😂

Nice recycling video! And thanks for sharing a variety of stuff this week as always look forward to your videos!

This is the funniest video ever seeing you two fill up those fuel filters was hilarious

Man, you found it… the holy pump…. Generations looking for it, and you found it… so great to see 😂😂

I put a kids dresser on our corner with a nice TV with sign that said free. 600 cars drive by twice a day to go to Homer Laughlin China and it sat all week. So on Monday afternoon I changed the signs . Dresser $50 TV works as should $30. I was in the house long enough to take my boots off and they both were gone

Merlin you are a very knowledgeable man.

Dave was the only reason I ever watched Welderup......❤️🇺🇲

so Merlin when you hear about the military over in the sandbox. Think how hot it is. Beautiful place no one wants to be. Score on the couch and the bennies it donated

I tried to like this video 3 different times LOL Watching you guys tear this couch apart is reeeaalll close to tweaker TV LOL keep up the good work

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love and bless you guys, fun with Merlin and friends 😁 good work 👍😁 it's here cooking hot too in Poland.

I lived in Long Beach too , 4 th and cherry, for a for a while , and I had freinds at Paramount Street(cherry turns into Paramount) a place called Cougle shop, Dan mark and good ol Barney, he road a ol matchless side shift with a ol dog on the tanks with shag carpet on the tank, that was good ol days, thanks BigAl California.

As someone who has lived in the same area you’re currently in and now living in the south I’d take 120 with no humidity over 95 with high humidity

Thanx for sharing your experience with your business Great Find on the leather Stay hydrated, PLEASE Have a Great Day 👍 See ya next week 🤪

a Model A with a diesel in it just seems to be so right 😀👍

Had you found a "Get out of jail free card" I would have been impressed! LOL!

I couldn’t even imagine living there in the summer! Rest of the year I can see the perks!

Most people don't realize this but here in Southern Ontario it gets disgustingly muggy in the summer. You will be soaked through your T-shirt in 5 minutes. If it can go a couple of weeks without rain then it's not bad it's a dry heat.

dude it looked like the light switch for the shop was right there in the break room next to the door before you walk in hahahaha

Great fun, you had me remembering the times I found money in backs of old cars at the scrap yard, wreckers when I was a kid, my dad was hunting for car parts, and I'd be off with one of his Philips and a flat screwdriver taking back seats out all down the line, it was almost a guaranty I'd find at least a quarter in one but always more. Back in the 70s cars were used for cross country adventures and kids lost their match box cars and crayons and yes money. But the biggest cash find to date is 15 $20 dollar bills under the front mat of a $500 old work van I bought to store my tools in. Oh right , my brother in-law would come by on Sundays, rent dad's recliner all day and sleep ... I soon found out that he would lose all his change he did that for months, before I let on one time and then he stopped 😁 off the top of my head he had to have lost well over $50 maybe more. Lol! I looked at it as rent for the chair.😎 pss I have repurposed many old leather chairs 👍👍👍

How did I know that hunk of vinyl (leather?) was gonna be BROWN! Everything at MOSG is brown these days! 😄

You gave me such a good idea how to repulse for my Ford seat? I'm gonna keep my eye out for a leather couch. But yeah, Havasu is I'm just a little hot at this time of year. I used to run that river. River from Parker. To bullhead City delivering car parts for the junkyards.

Merlin is good at taking wrenches out of people’s hands like they don’t know anything

Sneaking Sally through the Alley.

Real leather is pieced together like the couch you found. Vinyl is one piece.

I feel Makay about "leaking" the heat index is 111 here in SC with 95% humidity. Its BRUTAL!

Thanks for beautiful scenery

Hello 👋 Merlin McKay you guys ALWAYS MAKE ME LAUGH THANK YOU 👍❤️💪🏻✌️☮️

Fun video! Love how you get excited over someone else's junk!! 💯👍

Merlin Today in Canada I bought2 gallons for my lawn mower and other half for Premix fuel 22.00 dollars , Can we all say Trudom PM -is a useless thief .

Entertaining as always fellas. Dave and his many ‘dudes’ and laugh attacks makes me wonder if he inhaled a little too much smoke! Diesel smoke, of course. 😆.. Florida holding steady around 90 degrees and 80% humidity today. Storms coming later.

OK, So you learned this old man a new trick! I'd never thought about repurposing a leather couch before! Now, if I only knew how to sew, and had a machine!

So great to enjoy the laughter with you !!! Snort, splash

Barn wood and couch leather makes the greatest rat rod interior

Do a video where you set a iron skillet in the sun and see how fast you can cook an egg!

Great video. I used to live at Atlantic Ave. and Artesia Blvd. back in the early/mid 70's. Went to Hamilton Jr. High. That was a great place to live back then. Haven't been there in decades. Try to stay safe and cool. That kind of heat + humidity can equal a really bad day.

i love daves wagon😊 455 killer engine

I used to live in Kingman Arizona. And I made it a habit not to go to Lake Havasu in the dead of the summer. Because the humidity was just killer there.

If the cub cadet was way to fast then why was Merlin grinning from ear to ear 😅😅😅😅😅😅

Thought this was a better help commercial when you got to Dave. “Don’t make me laugh or I will fall asleep”is the most terrifying thing I’ve ever heard… I’m in south FL, the other day was 98 but real feel 106 with 92 percent humidity.. It was a 6 shirt day. That’s how I judge weather here. By the amount of shirts I go through.. You can keep your 118, forget that lol.

I don't know how y'all can stand to be out in that heat! I can't take it anymore. Even when I still could, I left Death Valley after working there a few months when I was in my early 20s once it got up to 118 degrees. Stay hydrated !!

It's great to see Dave again.

That cow musta been HUGE. Easiest $100 ever.

Can tell when an Arizonan visits further up North even in the Summer. Be wearing hoodies//sweaters in the morning because it's 40-50 deg cooler for a given time of morning.

good thing you're not in Canada where fuel is over $8.00 a gallon

One man's junque is another man's treasure!
