I dunno this guy is, but it's proly listen to anything he had to tell me about. Just hearing this man's voice just makes me feel like mankind is going to lose another lifetime of knowledge again when he passes away. Not because he's keeping a secret, because no one anymore cares to learn from him. Hope I'm wrong and i hope he's still around, this was made in 2012, it's 2024 now. We're building our world today on a very, very sandy foundation. All we gotta lose is electricity and i fear millions, proly billions of humans will die. We have lost our ability to be self sustaining and in doing so we've become slaves to a few menw who buy their power with money. Just because we're paid with pieces of paper and trinkets, they have no real value, if we are working for another man, we are essentially slaves. If we are free, why do we do something we do not like to do day in, and day out, or whole lives? Just so we can be put out to pasture the last few years of our lives? They rob us of our time and our labor, just to make themselves richer.
Thank you so much for this instructive video. I am in my late 50s; my father died 16 years ago leaving me the contents of his garage and much teaching over the years about DIY. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying much attention the day he told me about grommets. I have never needed them until today when I suddenly remembered they might be useful for a repair I am doing. Having studied them and the contents of his father's first world war munitions chest that he kept his tools in, I could not fathom how to use them. From this video I have learned that I was right about how to use them - I just didn't have the tools. Goodness knows what dad did with them. Off to the hardware shop to add to my collection of tools I'll only ever use once!!.
Nice shooting, Tex! You made this look easy! Yesterday morning, I discovered I had lost my new, leather wallet! What a drag. Thankfully, I found my wallet last night around 10 pm. The night before, I had taken the wallet out of my front, left pants pocket because it was sticking out, thanks to my telephone being in the same pocket. I put the wallet next to some books, on the passenger side of my car. The hour was late and I was tired. So I forgot I had moved my wallet. So I moved my wallet because I did not want to lose it. Then forgot about it, and so lost if for a day! Oh, the irony. I decided I need to put a grommet in that wallet, and add a chain and a carabiner, because I am so good at misplacing things. I have a foot of blue rope and a carabiner for my keys. This method works very well! I have not lost my keys since I added the carabiner. I did lose my keys one evening when I was at Lake Harriet for an evening concert! I retraced my steps, and thankfully found them in less than five minutes.
Excellent video. This video also does a good example of showing the difference in quality tools and grommets vs cheap. I see a lot of videos of grommets splitting around washers, people driving them all at once. Not rotating. Things like that. Watch this video closely. This is who it's done!
Fantastic video. Can I ask a quick question? When I use the washer and grommet, the end of the grommet 'split' (crack) into several sections and curl outwards after I use the tool to set the grommet. So the cracked sections curl and splays outward over the washer and doesn't look right. Any pointers or recommendations welcome and appreciated. Thanks! ---- Update: Just figured out my issue. I need to shorten my grommet tube (by using a sander/grinder) to prevent splitting prior to setting/pressing; and perhaps apply a touch of oil to the outside of the tube prior to setting/pressing. A grommet tube that is too long can split. The grommets aren't meant to split, so the issue is length.... tubes too long for my application. Another recommendation from the internet is to apply some WD40 etc to the outside of grommet before pressing, to allow metal parts to slide over each other easily.
i know this is an older video now, but just want to say thank you for making it. Simple and to the point.
