In this video, I pick up an old bank of gym lockers from an auction, then get to work building a rolling base to set them on, as well as give the whole thing a make over. Using for tool storage, but makes a great repurpose or upscaling project for anyone with the patience to drill out all those rivets holding the doors on.

TNT #254: DIY Woodworking Pumpkins for Thanksgiving or Halloween
Просмотров 96День назад
In this video, I use up some of my pile of genuine repurposed Kentucky tobacco sticks to make some Thanksgiving / Halloween themed pumpkins. You do not need to use tobacco sticks, however I would recommend using slightly different thicknesses of boards for a more rustic effect. These would be great gifts, or for sale for profit.

TNT #249: Slowing Down and Organizing the Shop's Scrap Wood Pile
Просмотров 279Месяц назад
In this video, I take advantage of a rainy day to finally go through at least one of my piles of scrap / left over lumber piles to see what I have, throw away what I do not need, and put it back in a way that takes up a little less space. In doing so, I discover that I have enough left overs for a future build project I'm planning .

In this video, I use up some surplus hardwood flooring material to build a set of stackable produce bins. Gearing up for my onion and potato harvest, I wanted something to store them in for the winter as we use them up. I think they turned out pretty good, also my first time ever doing box joints for the bin corners. Over all size is about 14" x 22". Be good project idea for those into homestea...
TNT #247: Make any Gas Can work 100% Better / Swap Nozzle & Add a Vent
Просмотров 661Месяц назад
Amazon Link: amzn.to/3WkGKj9 In this video, I take some 'newish' gas cans that everyone hates because they are hard to use and have terrible fuel flow through them, and for really cheap, fix them to work 100 x better by simply adding a new nozzle, but more so, by adding a vent valve. If you have not done this already I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed.
TNT #246: Stone Patio Build Project using Limestones from the Property
Просмотров 132Месяц назад
In this video I take a few weekends to build a stone patio out of limestones picked up on the property. All in, I spent about $200 on landscape fabric, a bit of sand, and 10 bags of decorative river stone. Make no mistake, it was a lot of work, especially where I had to build a dry stack retaining wall first. Like the video, consider giving a Super Thanks, but certainly give it a Thumbs UP. Tha...

TNT #226: Troubleshooting my Electric Poultry Net Fence
Hey Chris..I saw the zero turn mower in the video...what kind is it and do u like it? Keep up the good videos!
Scheevie, got myself a "Bad Boy". Loving it. Had a regular JD lawn tractor (residential model) and I was taking a beating and taking forever to mow the new farm lawn (4.5 acres). This mower (video link attached) has improved my quality of life significantly. Issue, likely with all zero turns, is that it has a tendency not to want to steer going down steep hill. Will steer going up... not down, plan accordingly (lesson learned involving tow strap and tractor. It, and likely most, is also hard on the lawn as you zero-turn your way around a small tree, likes to tear up the grass a bit. This model has bouncy seat and front suspension, makes a difference. ruclips.net/video/VrSOIM62Gd4/видео.htmlsi=0uPTp8113bGKXz8W
You shopping for one? What are you considering to get?
@@TryNewThings...I will be soon...the bad boy is on the list...keep up the good work!
That turned out very nice. Everyone needs storage to tidy things up. You sure are able to find bargains.
I keep my eyes open for them. It is working out pretty good. 2/3 full already, have some nice magnetic labels I'm using to remind me what is in each one of them. Next I have to build a battery charging station for all my cordless tools.
Nice project. Your cut off scraps could probably be saved for snowman noses if your doing any Christmas stuff this year. 😁😁
Great idea!!
If you don't mind, where were you able to purchase the empty oxygen tanks from ?
Found them on Facebook Marketplace. Paid almost nothing for them.
Thank you sir
Glad to see others finding ways to use electric netting. Nice job.
Thank you Tillman family for the wonderful feedback.
How did it hold up over time and use? Thanks
Held up good for about one year. To make a lasting difference I would call this an annual activity. Still, that may be worth the effort. Thanks for the question.
Thank you!
You are very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, much appreciated.
Nice job god bless
John, thanks so much for the great feedback. Much appreciated!!
I have Hercules 20 volt power tools and they work great and . They work every time
Thanks Scott, appreciate the feedback!
Great upcycle project Chris. Those should sell well &/or be well received as gifts! I enjoy the production line method, appeals to my (somewhat)ordered mind lol I did the same when I made a slew of squirrel nesting boxes
We shall see, not flying off the shelves yet :) LOL
@@TryNewThings Give it time, it'll be all things pumpkin before you know it!!
We are almost to the 'ber' months. September, October, November, December. These are so cool. Well done Chris. 🎃
I'm still in the middle of a summer drought. Glad I added 1000 gallons of water storage. High of 94 degrees today and tomorrow. But looking forward to the first part of the brrrr season. Fall will not last as long as we would like I'm sure.
@@TryNewThings Wow! Now getting cooler here some nights
I’m a couple or three ours north of you Chris and about the same weather patterns. Needing rain ☔️
@@deanbarr5740 rumor is it may rain tomorrow night. No rain for over two weeks. At least I don’t have to mow this weekend, but the garden isn’t happy. Hope we both get rain
Brilliant tutorial, thank you for sharing !
ASC, thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice comment, very much appreciated!!
very expensive to run and lots of energy waste as any greenhouse not only has no insulation but there are cracks here and there. I think 'tube heaters' (mainly used in England) are the BEST, about 10 times less expensive to run (kW/h).
You are not wrong about the cost to run those little heaters. I'll have to look into tube heaters more. They are not inexpensive to purchase, but likely pay you back in electrical savings over time. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment, very much appreciated.
Just hooked this up and got it running. Saw in a previous comment you signed up for cloud service. to record video. Does one also need to sign up for cellular data in addition to the icloud coverage ?
Nice project. It's not my style either. If you are really thrifty, you can go to Lowes and ask for mixed paint that the customers didn't buy after ordering. They almost give it away. 👍👍
Will likely take a break from furniture flipping for a bit. Have made a couple hundred $ from it in the last year, but per hour of effort it is barely better than RUclips LOL
How to turn a Piano Bench into SILVER! Love it!
My granddaughter does some repurposing of furniture, etc. Her theory is not to finish something that she likes but know what sells and finish accordingly. Now if she wants to keep it, then finish to her tastes. Personally I’m not a fan of white either. Thanks for sharing.
I wasn't a fan, but it did sell. I would have been bigger fan of painting the base black, then stain and clear coat the seat... but I was 'trying' to listen to my wife on this one :) Having fun fixing up a bank of old gym lockers at the moment, not for purpose of resale though, thought might make good tool storage.
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing. Quick question: Do you think this would work through a wall or is it line of sight? I have a much smaller distance to cover (probably 40m or so), but would like to keep the device inside the workshop. The workshop is wood built, not brick. Thanks for the help. 😎👍
I do not have a direct test that matches your scenario, but I think it should. I know I have turned my pump off and on from inside the pole barn without direct line of site (walls covered in thin insulation and metal), but from a distance of about 10m vs your 40m. So I'm thinking it should work for your application.
That’s good to know. Thanks for all your help; it’s very much appreciated.
Have you used this company before?
I have. Been satisfied so far. Fairly well rated by the BBB. www.bbb.org/us/tx/dallas/profile/bullion-coin-dealers/jm-bullion-0875-90530215. They did not sponsor this video in any way.
@@TryNewThings thanks so much.
You can tune them by cutting them a certain length.
Very neat little video.
Was the change modern junk coins? Some of the old ones may have had more value as collectable than it did as currency. Last year I got a coin as change from a vending machine worth $400. I kept it 😬
All were junk modern coins, I pull the older ones out and keep separately.
I also kept all my "copper" pennies, not sure why, but only turned in the newer zink ones I had found.
@@TryNewThings Made me laugh. I keep the copper pennies as well.
@@TryNewThings Throw a magnet in your penny collection and see if you can find a steel penny. Near me at Barren River Lake, they open the dam every fall and drop the levels about 50 ft. Its a good place to walking with a detector but I've never had the time or equiptment to do it. If there is a lake near you, it may be worth seeing if they do the same thing.
Converting Zinc to Silver is always a good move, I just hate the digging part.
I vote to get rid of the Zinc pennies like Canada did....
Thank you for the video! I am very interested in these (both diesel and gas) but I am trying to figure out the logisitcs of filling them up at the gas station and then getting out of my vehicle once I get back to my place. I don’t have a truck any longer but have a Nissan Armada so I suppose I could still use the forks on my tractor with a sling to get them out of the back of my Armada.
Empty, super light, full, I can lift it but I would not recommend it alone. There are handles on each side, so two people could unload it full pretty easily I would think, or if you had a tractor you could slide it out and into the bucket if alone. I guess I'm saying I would not recommend lifting it full alone. I throw it on my trailer and run it to the pump, then I can slide it down the ramp when I get back, or use the tractor. Hope this helps.... I LOVE having the electric pump though, makes filling up the tractor / mower / jeep super easy. I guess you could slide it down a plank when you get home maybe(?)
@@TryNewThings Thanks for the reply! Back in my youth I “might” have been able to wrestle this tank around but five back surgeries later, no way! You brought up several ways to handle the tanks, all of which I am able to do i.e. tractor (with bucket and with forks), a utility trailer that I could hook up and take to the gas station instead of the back of my Armada, etc. At any rate, I think I am going to give them a try as I absolutely dread it when it is time to fill up my tractor or my side-by-side.
Wishing you all the best.
I don’t have herc tools but even my Porter Cable can drive long screws into treated lumber. Heck even 3/8 in diameter lag screws and they less than 2200 in lbs torque
How do you keep the weeds from growing up into it? Thanks for showing how the set up works!!
Christie I wish I had a clever response for you... I rely on pulling the weeds out of the rows, at least until the plants get well established (you should see my squash beds, hard to see through the weeks), and for between the rows I either run a small gas powered tiller up the middle or, more often than not I just use a grass trimmer and it ends up looking like a lawn between my rows. I do have one rule, no chemicals, so it has been tough fighting off the weeds. Friend of mine tried straw between the rows, but he found there was just too many seeds in the straw. If my garden was small, I would try cardboard and mulch I think, but where I want to just run the big tiller on the tractor every spring, that would be more work than worth I think. If you crack the weed control code, do let me know :) Thanks for taking the time to write the question, sorry the answer was so disappointing though.
those 2hr batt dont make enough power thats a diff tool with a 5hr batt or 4hr extreme batt
A lot of folks have said the same thing. I’m going to have to pick up a big battery. Save the smaller ones for the drill.
now they have that deal with a free 4hr extreme batt with the 21700 cells both good deals if you ask me
Very cool, I was considering finding an old tank for this purpose and love what you've done. I've made a chime out of a 3" piece of old copper pipe. One thing that I did differently with the final product, as with some cylindrical bells, is use sound slots -- meaning you cut slots up the sides -- this can let it resonate better. I saw this when looking at other commercially produced bell chimes. My first iteration of my pipe chime did not have the slots and I thought it was a dull sound. Once I incorporated this design change, it sounds much better!
Great recommendations, I still have 5 tanks off in the corner, was going to make some more this winter, I’ll have to look into the slots!
holy crap! no wonder I havent seen any of your videos other than just shorts.. RUclips unsubscribed me~!!! Im back baby.. and better than ever
Welcome back!!!! And I appreciate the feedback.
Hopefully you do not have too much to catch up on.
And what does Lte data consumption look like after a year?
I just pulled my info, and for the month of July, looks like the camera that used the most data only used 0.04G. Now that said, I do not spend a lot of time remotely accessing the cameras from my phone, I just pull it up when I receive a motion alert. So if you wanted to use them just to check on things, you may run double that.
Nice tools 👍
Thanks JW. How are things in your neck of KY?
@@TryNewThings Hot and avoiding most outdoor work right now. I've got plenty of projects waiting on me.
Can’t wait to see them
I already own a series of tools similar to yours only they are gas powered. Battery-powered tools I assume are much lighter - thus allowing the wife to handle them. Genius!
😉. You saw through the vail Paul. If I got some good Stihl gas powered units… I would be stuck doing all the trimming at the house! Downside is, battery powered does have a shorter life expectancy. Like the Huscavarna’s before the switch to Kobalt.
You gotta keep the wife happy! It's nice you like the kobalt stuff, it's all about the battery platform. Love your outtakes!
Why thank you Mark!
Great video Sir...
Why thank you Navy Mark. Was thinking about making some more, holiday shopping season is quickly approaching again. But today I was busy making pumpkins out of my big pile of tobacco sticks for Halloween and Thanksgiving.
❤❤
There should be a '❤' choice. Love these Great job Chris. A new challenge overcome.

Bigger battery FTW
Congrats buddy. 250 vids.
Thanks Dave! 3 years goes by quickly. What is fun for me is I do not have a clue what new videos await, because I do not know what I’ll want to work on more than a couple weeks out. So I’ll be as surprised as anyone.
Looking good. I never had much luck growing onions.
I was surprised as well. Ones at the house garden were a complete fail.
I was surprised as well. Ones at the house garden were a complete fail.
Learned something new today, had never cut roots. Think I left ours in the ground too long. I had resorted to processing in the dryer to insure onions to use all year.
whatever works David :) Learning a lot this year. More than doubled the size of the garden and I figured out a few things, one is plant more onions, two is plant less tomatoes and zucchini, and I guess three would be a question... are potatoes worth it? They take up so much space for something that costs the least to buy. Anyways, hope all is well, thanks as always for the feedback.
