Listening to you talk about anyone can do anything. In 1983 i lost both hands below my elbow. Did I stop living,stop wanting to do things myself. No. Since then I’ve ridden motorcycles in the woods,built n flew RC aircraft,taught myself to do all kinds of leather items. Even make a few dollars doing that. My mind is still active. Invented joy sticks fer my RC transmitter. My desire exceeded my disability. So thanks fer the talk on that. By the way before I lost my hands I did much of what you are doing now. Thanks fer bringing back memories.

At 49 you discover the stud has come loose. at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmsAXGInl5I&t=1685">28:05</a> you loosened the stud yourself.

I've gotten a lot of fasteners at the scrap yard, and I've organized them in empty peanut butter jars. I persuaded a coworker to save hardware from jobs that we did. Our line of work was mechanical systems demolition, so we had to unbolt a lot of stuff over the years. He would just go to the hardware store and buy new for a project. I asked him how hard it woud be to but some in his pocket and take them home (he was the boss's son) and put them away when he got home. He had a surprise for me one day. He took my advice, and made storage bins from ice tea jugs, and had the hardware organized. I was impressed.

Great vid I agree you need to replace the unloader valve. I was a maintenance tech in a factory for around 15 years. The last 5 as a supervisor. Many of the equipment ran on air. Our rule of thumb is a pressure gauge should be rated at twice the working pressure. So if your working Pressure is 125 the gauge should read at least 250 which saves the gauge from wearing out prematurely. just a tip from me to you. You always have good content and I wish it was more often.

Great job. You never need to worry about your videos going too long as far as I'm concerned.

The nice thing about these compressors is you can always find the engines, the pumps, and basically all other parts for them. They can practically run forever as long as the tank lasts.

"I have a mentality that there is absolutely nothing I can't do" How I love this sentence! Yes, everything is "learnable". You don't need to be the best at making something to do it, you just need to start making it. And once you're started, you have to finish it if you need it. Often, the reason is money, but not always. Also the pride to think " I could do it by myself, I'm not depending on a professionnal - or so called- to have what I need". Your way of thinking is the path that drives DIYers, and I hope that many will walk it!

Teflon tape doesn’t fill the threads it just a lubricant to allow you to tighten the fitting till the threads seal. Pipe threads are cut at an interference angle to make them seal when tightened. You don’t need training just mechanical aptitude and critical thinking. My saying is a person built it and I can take it apart and fix it.

well, I got 40 minutes in, paused and went and finally stopped putting off installing new chinesium carburetors on to two string trimmers and a post hole auger. So, Matt motivated me to do something in the shop in the rain. SO yeah they all run now, when I get my rebuild kits I'll fix up my originals
