To all potential safety apparel companies that would like a sponsorship opportunity. Ants Pants is a great opportunity. Growing channel, outstanding content, and Andris needs some serious help in the area of safety apparel. Using this video as the perfect example…using a welder and plasma cutter only protected by t-shirt, shorts, and crocs.
As Mike Rowe says: “Safety Third”. Which is about being TOO dependent on safety equipment. Example…I’m a soap maker, it is recommended that you wear eye protection, gloves, long sleeves, long pants and shoes. I forgo everything but the glasses and thus am very conscience about spills and cleanup.
Absolutely love the interaction with your kids. Mine is grown up now but used to come into my workshop and hassle me the same way…golden moments when I look back today. Greetings from Denmark 🇩🇰
A plasma cutter uses electric current to melt metal, and then the air-pressure blows the molten metal away, creating a clean-cut. If done right, the metal cut should be blown free of metal and not need to be hammered or otherwise broken free. Try playing with your air pressure settings if it is not cutting cleaning and all the way through. Your travel speed can be too fast or too slow. It just takes practice like welding. To fast travel and the metal does not have enough heat to completely melt and/or time to be blown from the cut. Going to slow can allow metal to blow back into where you already cut. Tip: ALWAYS grind and clean the edges of plasma cuts before trying to weld to remove the impurities introduced by the plasma into the metal. You will be making great cuts all the time now.
I really like how one things lead to another in your videos, it's just like hanging out with a friend in his workshop! Great new addition to the tool fleet, call yourself lucky to be sponsored with this sweet machine! Thx for the vid! 👍👍👍 Btw, these bugs that scared your kids is called a "ear-pincher" here In Germany, maybe you can make some fun to the kids with that information... 🤣
The vibrations off the metal eat up the discs on your grinder. Fireball tool made a video about that, he shows how you should use your grinder to make the discs last longer.
I'll give you an idea with heating. You could place firewood stove in other room or even make a little room outside. You just need a special stove for that, which I've seen on a market, or it could be a good video idea to make. We made one ourselves, just from a big diameter pipe (maybe 600-700mm). Ends welded with a plate, made a spiral from a steel strip around a pipe, about 50mm height and welded a sheet around. Put a fan which sucks air from the room, sends it through the spiral several times around a pipe, which heats air, and then via air duct you send it where you want. We're heating around 130 square meters of pre-soviet era shop, which leaks air everythere and it works perfect. Pipe is around 1,5m long, but your space is smaller and insulated, so pipe could be way shorter. Best of luck from LT!
I stumbled on this channel because I bought deiisel vevor heaters×2 and wanted to see others installations.now I'm hooked and subscribed.cant stop watching. Love all the real problems and humor. Great vids glad I found your channel
The children are adorable and they mind you so well! 😂 I like watching you make stuff, you are so creative. Take care and have a fantastic weekend Andris p.s.- I still love the rock wall !!
The one modification I would recommend you look up and do to your cutter is get rid of the clamp and go to a magnet. That way you can put the magnet ground on an item instead of clamping to it.
Andris, All kidding aside this video shows your intelligence and resourcefulness. As a result we are upping your allowance!. (Patreon). On the other hand, is that the Soviet chair in disguise spying first from the ceiling and then lurking on the sidelines? We miss him! Keep us entertained! Tony & Kathy.
Try using stainless steel cutting disc and try out ceramic flapper discs and with the plasma cutter which I have used for many years you can make an adjustable circle cutter attachment
Such a wonderful welding area in the workshop! I Like it. When welding, I always put a spray bottle of water next to the working area. For small burns (e.g. on wood table) I can cool it down / avoid fire. I also have a fire extinguisher in my workshop. In the plasma table, just put some sand in there. And always wear good shoes while doing plasma cutting ;) Plasma is 16000 °C hot. Some days ago, sparks go through my safety shoes... but nothing more happens, it only hurts.
Nice cutting table! And congratulations on getting your plasma cutter! I just picked up a plasma cutter last week for doing some major repairs to a trailer. It's an unused Chicago Electric 40Amp 240V non-touch pilot-arc start model. A fellow posted it on Craigslist, and I picked it up for $200 US. I then spent another $135 on getting a selection of plasma "consumables" (cutting tips, electrodes, swirl ring, and insulated retaining cup) for it, including gouging tips for cutting welds from components while keeping the base metal. The benefit of a non-touch pilot-arc plasma cutting version is that the electrodes will last longer if the tip isn't shorted against the material being cut. It also can supposedly do cleaner cuts, and can start cuts on painted or rusted metal. These are also preferred for use with a CNC table. A DIY CNC plasma cutting table is a project I plan to make in the not-to-distant future. Unfortunately, the model Vevor sent you is the slightly less expensive contact version. But heck, as they saying goes; "beggars can't be choosers".... You'll just have to replace the electrodes more often. You might be able to use a standoff to minimize electrode wear and only "touch" to get the arc started.... One thing I learned that might be helpful to you -- you can buy different width tips to cut at different amperages -- useful for cutting thinner materials so you can cut them with a smaller kerf and also reduce the cutting slag on them. I got 20, 30 and 40amp tips for mine. I also got an insulated retaining cup and tips so I can make cuts while touching the material without damaging the electrodes or having to use standoffs. It'll also be easier do plasma gouging using the insulated cup and tips. One other thing I learned is that to be careful of where you buy your "consumables" as a lot of the really cheap ones made in China won't last. There are some Chinese suppliers that make higher quality consumables that don't cost much more -- you just have to find a reputable manufacturer and supplier and buy from them.... One such manufacturer seems to sell consumables under the name "Theia Plasma", called Shanghai Theia Technical Co,.Ltd. I am sure there are others. You might also consider getting an inexpensive in-line desiccant "air dryer", as moisture is also very damaging to the electrodes in plasma cutters. These desiccant "air dryers" use the blue silica gel dessicant beads that turn pink when they need to be re-activated. Re-activating them is as simple as putting them on a shallow tray in the oven and baking the moisture out of them at around 250F or 120C. Packets of these dessicant beads are available from many places and don't cost much. Just make sure you get the blue "indicating" ones that turn color when they need to be re-activated. Here's a link to one that sells for $8 in the US -- I am sure there are similar ones available for around the same price in the EU: www.harborfreight.com/inline-desiccant-dryerfilter-64637.html
Andris sa päästsid päeva. Olen Uk's ja nii hea on kodust eemal olles, midagi kodust näha. Mis sest, et Inglise keeles :) Saangi mõned uued sõnad ja lauseehitused õpitud :) Andris, you saved the day. I'm in the UK and it's so nice to see something from home while being away from homeland Estonia. Even if it's in English :) I learn some new words and sentence structures :)
Regarding the cut off disc mystery: I saw a video some time ago, where this exact question was answered. But for the life of me I just can`t remember where I saw it. Anyway, you need to score the metal as long as possible and the discs will last as long as they do when cutting thicker material. When you stick the disc through, you basically cut away the cutting disc on the thin edge of metal.
I have a Lincoln 180 mig welder,it’s really nice to work with!sand would be better in the bottom! Plain steel, the slag spray would stick to the steel bottom! It would be easier to clean the sand out as it gets build up! Pretty fancy if you’re going to start a fabrication shop my friend! lol 😂 😂😂😂 Nah it looks great if that’s what you want Andris! 👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻
i think you need a forced air wood furnace. still wood powered and can be located farther away maybe in the woodshop end or by your boat. with ductwork in the attic. bonus keeps the wood mess out of the shop.
Also, look into a outdoor wood boiler. Its an outside firebox setup that circulates hot water and then you can have a radiator in the shop. This way, you can save floor space for a fireplace and also won't need to bring the wood inside the shop to burn it.
27:03 you need to run the nut first against the wall to open up the anchor wings and then you can use it in the table. Better yet leave it against wall and weld the the table end.
They used to tell us to go wait by the road for the red truck, but run around the barn is a little safer. Next time you see a piece somewhere, grab some floor grate for when the table slats are worn out. I use an inverted piece on my hand cut table as the top. I use a water pan under it but sand or wet sand is a good idea.
How about an external wood fired heater that has a heat exchanger that circulates the hot air by fan into the workshop ? You could weld it up yourself and set it just outside the wall? ❤make a sauna out of it too!
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………….…………………………………….I’ve had a Cut50 sitting on my welding cart for about a year. Watching you use yours just inspired me to set mine up and use it instead of grinding. And one more thing, the happy discovery of hanging the grinder off the angle iron , I hung c channel off the wall of my workshop just to keep my grinders organized. ( I have about 8 grinders in various sizes and with different wheels) Works like a charm!!
Andris, rule of thumb, multiply psi x 7 = kPa. It’s actually about 6.89 but 7 is good enough to get you a ballpark number. Good cameo by the nieces, you’re such a good Uncle. I’d leave the table empty, it’s a good volume so no need to fill it. The plasma will save you so much time on the projects you do. Great job of the extraction system. Have a good week mate
Hey brother, you should see what our shop has, it’s a water jet! It’s really cool because it cuts anything even rubber or plastic or wood! Our shop has three water jet tables! It cuts with water and garnet! Garnet is like a fine sand! It cuts so close to the machine size! You can probably look up water jet machines! Thanks for sharing Andris! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏻
Great job! If I may suggest shorting your scrap casket in case you need to check for sparks. And also some kind of curtain over the front of it. As always good video!
I don't know if it's a thing in Estonia but I might suggest putting in a Wood-Fired boiler for your whole house set your boiler up outside pipe it into your house and Heat
Hi Andris, maybe it's a late comment but I would really like to see you build a brick workshop heater and I think you wouldn't regret it. And I think you know when its heated it will radiate heat for a long time , but a cast iron is great too.Really like your videos and will wait for more of them. Cheers .
If you are certain about your tack welds on the box, I'd put in a inch of sand. And given all the sparks involved in metal working, I would recommend a couple of fire extinguishers.
Are you planning to build a stone chimney? Because double-wall steel chimneys are also possible with wooden constructions, and take up way less space than stone chimneys. The stove itself will really be the only thing taking up space in that case.
I think it should be water, but you would have to waterproof your box. Standing water however brings mosquitoes, so a continuous drip of water into the trough by circulation would resolve that issue when not in use for extended periods of time. Very slow drip is sufficient. Using a magnet to collect up the slag will make cleanup simpler. Good video. Nice addition for your workshop..
While adding water sounds like a good idea it is actually useless, unless the water is touching the metal you are cutting and it will splash everywhere because of the pressurised air. Leaving it empty is a much better choice
the quick grinddisch useage can be that you use to big disc if cut thinnsheets use 1mm and only go 1direction away from you...if want to see a disc really disappear very quick pluge the disc and pull it against you ^^ and on the heater... try look into Diesel infraheaters they dont put out that mutch offgas as you would think have hade one for 2years in a house for added baseheating and its very effective.
Cutting discs - don't put them through the sheet metal any further than necessary. They last loads longer. Any pinch from the sheet metal on the sides of the disc wears it away, so the effective width of the cutting edge is tiny and wears in seconds. It took me years to realise this. Top work ss ever Mr Pants
Ur nieces are adorable! Great video i laughed thru the entire thing. I would use liquid nails to seal that tank or somethin equivalent. Its great stuff. Sand would be good to put in it i agree. My ocd went a little nuts when u painted over all that dust and rust on the hood😅 I love the wood stove idea too! Lord knows u got enuff fire wood to last long after ur gone hehe.
There are moments when I laugh out loud. The washer was the one today 😂😂😂 when are you going to start selling stickers? I was thinking it may be a good time with whats been going on in Paris 😊😂😂
Good luck, it’s nice because you can cut any metal like aluminum, brass, stainless or cast iron and copper! But the thickness depends on the size of your machine! Moving too slow brother, they’re meant to cut fast! It’s going to take practice Andris, you got this my friend!
When you were asking about the grinding wheels I was thinking, I would like to know this too but why not use the plasma cutter to cut them right now. 😂
Also as the sheet metal is so thin you tend to cut it with the cut off disc plunged deep in the material. Some RUclips channel (I forgot who), did find out, that by cutting just with the disc on the metal surface (disc is tangential to the surface) the discs lasted waaaaay longer
Put some water in the bottom of that table. As for the cutting disc on thin metal, i think it is twisting as it goes through. Try cutting with the metal on a sacrificial piece of wood. And weld some round bar on the bottom of your hood. It makes it stronger, and gets rid of sharp edges.
Move your bender/press away from the right of the double doors & put the log burner there, then sort out the old wood n glass cabinet by the power switches for the laith & put the bender over there??? Or the other side by the desk?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I used a plasma torch that would cut 4” plate! Just take care of the tungstens, you’ll know when it’s time to change them because it will start cutting a wider cut in the metal, it’s called the kerf!kerf is the gap the machine cuts! The little plasma torches we have are on roll around carts and they are 175 amp torches! They cut so much smoother and with less slag to grind!
I think Funk would give you a 10 out of 10 with two thumbs up. 👍😁 👍 Great video, I have been looking for an affordable plasma cutter, but keep putting it off due to cost.
You might want to put a drawer in the plasma cutting box, for easy cleaning and when something falls inside. I am not sure about the wooden box underneath, sparks will fly once in a while. I try to stay away from wood when cutting.
I’d recommend building a grid of the vertical slats on your plasma table so it’s removable. To clean and service beneath it. Also maybe look into building a used oil heater. Seen a number of people in the northern states build them. They work sort of like a diesel heater but burn used oil. It’s an idea. Plus a use for all that oil that comes out of Joseph.

While wearing crocs you get a plasma boost of 26%
PS: Check the description if your interested in Vevor mig welder and plasma cutter.
Have a nice weekend everyone.
If you cut your welding table with your VEVOR plasma cutter, use your VEVOR welder to fix it. Everything comes around as intended!
if only you had some kind of ventilation when you were spray painting lol
You should also add slats going the opposite direction to keep parts from falling into your tray.
cutting disk on sheet metal probably wears faster because the sheet moves more pinching the disk edge as it flexes. thanks for the videos
Avoid wear out of cutting disks by using your plasma to cut sheet metal 🎉😅❤

That home made angle grinder blade was terrifying...keep up the good work!!😁
😅
The vibrations off the metal eat up the discs on your grinder. Fireball tool made a video about that, he shows how you should use your grinder to make the discs last longer.
That is the video I saw, but forgot by who.
that video shows the gouge technique which Ants uses, unless this is a different video
Wear out bearings leading to repairs....but yeah.
I'll give you an idea with heating. You could place firewood stove in other room or even make a little room outside. You just need a special stove for that, which I've seen on a market, or it could be a good video idea to make. We made one ourselves, just from a big diameter pipe (maybe 600-700mm).

Pipe is around 1,5m long, but your space is smaller and insulated, so pipe could be way shorter. Best of luck from LT!
That is a great idea for a video!
👍👍👍
That’s about the same idea I was going to suggest, putting it in the other room and piping the heat into the garage area.
good idea i just need to ask if the "housewives" would be okey with a extra room outside
as always,and every friday,my favourite show.
hello!
Dude that cutting wheel just blasting through that wood and the helmet drop right after had me howling
lol, like a wolf!

p.s.- I still love the rock wall !!
rock wall is disappearing behind tools 😂😂
@@Ants_Pants I know, slowly but surely!
The one modification I would recommend you look up and do to your cutter is get rid of the clamp and go to a magnet. That way you can put the magnet ground on an item instead of clamping to it.
good call
Have great weekend too, enjoy playing with your new toy😀👋🇬🇧
thanks
Andris, All kidding aside this video shows your intelligence and resourcefulness. As a result we are upping your allowance!. (Patreon). On the other hand, is that the Soviet chair in disguise spying first from the ceiling and then lurking on the sidelines? We miss him! Keep us entertained! Tony & Kathy.
oh m8 about the soviet chair... oh i won't spoil it :D
Yes the squarish pin's on the plug are what we use in England/ Britain/ UK
Worlds best plugs 👌
I thought it was North American lol🤦🏻♀️
Type G for the win
i was thinking when you were cutting that large sheet of steel. "how much easier would that be if you had a plasma cutter😁
😂😂😂
oof :D
It is getting very cold now so you definitely need a Stove in there to keep warm. Great job as always pal 👍 👏
but if i put gasoline in the pool under the plasma table then i could get heat into the shop while plasma cutting? win win situation there
Nice addition to the workshop.

hehe
Thanks for the show Andris 🍻🇦🇺
No problem 👍
It’s a uk plug 😁
Indeed, but a non British safety standard acceptable 3 pin plug at that, the earth should NOT have any insulation.
You definitely will get a lot of use out of a plasma cutter! I’m really happy you finally have one. The shop is looking really good!
Thanks Mike 👍
Nice job adding to the workshop. Thanks for taking a break to help out the kids - I am sure they look up to and admire you, and your skills.
love em.

A wee tip: where you have like wooden drawers on wooden rails, take a wax candle and rub it on the rail. For metal zips, use a graphite pencil.
ok thanks sir
Even more upgrades for your shop!?! This is fantastic news! I hope this can make your life much easier for future projects!
need more space soon :D
If I had done that caulking job, I would have ended up with a nice line of caulk across the front of my jacket. Nice work again.
Thanks 👍
How about an external wood fired heater that has a heat exchanger that circulates the hot air by fan into the workshop ? You could weld it up yourself and set it just outside the wall? ❤make a sauna out of it too!
Building a sauna heater would make no problem to Andris, nide idea!
🥵👍
:D
sauna good
Install an outside wood burners and pipe the heat into the shop with a blower. Thermostat controlled damper if to hot.
You are too unpredictable... Love watching you
Congrats on the new addition to your workshop. You did a great job with the hood/table/box for the plasma cutter. Great video as always.
Thanks as always
😅😂🤣🤣 you're having way to much fun using your NEWEST toy, the plasma cutter... as I did 😮😊
haha :D
And here’s me, again, falling asleep to the sound of your power tools. Nice. Have a great weekend 🌸🌸
Best sleep ever 😅
That is an awesome BBQ, fireplace, plasma cutting table. You can just use the plasma cutter to lit the coal or firewood on fire.
:D

I don't know if it's a thing in Estonia but I might suggest putting in a Wood-Fired boiler for your whole house set your boiler up outside pipe it into your house and Heat
Its becoming a thing here yes
Hi Andris, maybe it's a late comment but I would really like to see you build a brick workshop heater and I think you wouldn't regret it. And I think you know when its heated it will radiate heat for a long time , but a cast iron is great too.Really like your videos and will wait for more of them. Cheers .
i will see next year, too late for this year
It's great to see you having so much fun!!!
Always!!
An air to air mini split vil be the best option
Happy for you!
If you are certain about your tack welds on the box, I'd put in a inch of sand. And given all the sparks involved in metal working, I would recommend a couple of fire extinguishers.
got 3
Great video, even if a device was presented, your way of making videos is just cool to me and yes you are a celebrity 🙂
hehe :D thank you
Evolution also makes hand held circular saws for cutting metal, may be handy for sheet goods.
yeah iv seen. WOuld love to have one
Nice project smart guy.
thanks Robert
Simply AWESOME!!! LOVE THE CHANNEL.
Glad you enjoy it!
Are you planning to build a stone chimney? Because double-wall steel chimneys are also possible with wooden constructions, and take up way less space than stone chimneys.
The stove itself will really be the only thing taking up space in that case.
Mhm yup that's true
Thanks!
Say hi to supper Mom and Kids. love the buid plus two hats Bro.
hehe
I can smell the workshop envy that you have created around the world all the way here in New Jersey USA! 😂❤
hehe

lol
I think it should be water, but you would have to waterproof your box. Standing water however brings mosquitoes, so a continuous drip of water into the trough by circulation would resolve that issue when not in use for extended periods of time. Very slow drip is sufficient. Using a magnet to collect up the slag will make cleanup simpler. Good video. Nice addition for your workshop..
While adding water sounds like a good idea it is actually useless, unless the water is touching the metal you are cutting and it will splash everywhere because of the pressurised air. Leaving it empty is a much better choice
hmm i thought so too, that the air pressure will just blow all the water in my face
the quick grinddisch useage can be that you use to big disc if cut thinnsheets use 1mm and only go 1direction away from you...if want to see a disc really disappear very quick pluge the disc and pull it against you ^^
and on the heater... try look into Diesel infraheaters they dont put out that mutch offgas as you would think have hade one for 2years in a house for added baseheating and its very effective.
Ooooh! Another Ants antic,cool. Added to watch later, cheers dude!
Hope you enjoy!
That vent hood with the light in it turned out so awesome!!
Thanks bro
Nice welder and shop. More subs coming. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Thanks 👍
Cutting discs - don't put them through the sheet metal any further than necessary. They last loads longer.
Any pinch from the sheet metal on the sides of the disc wears it away, so the effective width of the cutting edge is tiny and wears in seconds.
It took me years to realise this.
Top work ss ever Mr Pants
Thanka m8
To use the vacuum cleaner's cleaning tub, please make a small hole.
Absolutley awesome build ants!! My dream workshop just got even better!😅
No problem bro is there anything else you want? I was thinking a boxing ring in the center 👍
I thought I recognized the name "VEVOR." I just bought some sliding barn door brackets made by Vevor. Fancy that!
hehe
It really is a nice setup looks good
👍
Ur nieces are adorable! Great video i laughed thru the entire thing. I would use liquid nails to seal that tank or somethin equivalent. Its great stuff. Sand would be good to put in it i agree. My ocd went a little nuts when u painted over all that dust and rust on the hood😅 I love the wood stove idea too! Lord knows u got enuff fire wood to last long after ur gone hehe.
haha yes. Thank you very much
There are moments when I laugh out loud. The washer was the one today 😂😂😂 when are you going to start selling stickers? I was thinking it may be a good time with whats been going on in Paris 😊😂😂
Ants Pants.The Eesti workshop and a pic of Andris like that:🤷♂
😂👍
hehe, if only i had more time to deal with a e-shop
lol.. bro
Good luck, it’s nice because you can cut any metal like aluminum, brass, stainless or cast iron and copper! But the thickness depends on the size of your machine! Moving too slow brother, they’re meant to cut fast! It’s going to take practice Andris, you got this my friend!
Such an interesting video. Always interesting!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
You are amazing. I want to be just like you when I grow up...
i will never grow up !
When you were asking about the grinding wheels I was thinking, I would like to know this too but why not use the plasma cutter to cut them right now. 😂
😂🤣 oof
Place chimney outside. To wall 😅.
Only suggested.
👍
sheet metal cut flex and also produce high frequency vibration which eat up the wheels.
Also as the sheet metal is so thin you tend to cut it with the cut off disc plunged deep in the material. Some RUclips channel (I forgot who), did find out, that by cutting just with the disc on the metal surface (disc is tangential to the surface) the discs lasted waaaaay longer
Put some water in the bottom of that table. As for the cutting disc on thin metal, i think it is twisting as it goes through. Try cutting with the metal on a sacrificial piece of wood.
And weld some round bar on the bottom of your hood. It makes it stronger, and gets rid of sharp edges.
Cut some round pipe in different sizes and add handles. This will give you perfect templates for round cutting.
Shop is looking awesome
good idea, the offcut disc aint that good
Move your bender/press away from the right of the double doors & put the log burner there, then sort out the old wood n glass cabinet by the power switches for the laith & put the bender over there??? Or the other side by the desk?? 👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
Need to think this plan over
I used a plasma torch that would cut 4” plate! Just take care of the tungstens, you’ll know when it’s time to change them because it will start cutting a wider cut in the metal, it’s called the kerf!kerf is the gap the machine cuts! The little plasma torches we have are on roll around carts and they are 175 amp torches! They cut so much smoother and with less slag to grind!
Ok m8 thanks for the tip
yes firewood no doubt. The kids are your nices or daughters? you mentioned i think but i don't remember. Go run around the building..... amazing!
nices, thanks bro
I think Funk would give you a 10 out of 10 with two thumbs up. 👍😁 👍
Great video, I have been looking for an affordable plasma cutter, but keep putting it off due to cost.
😅👍
CHIMNEY a thought, build it out side and use fans to duct the created hot air into the workspace, might help with the hot air and space ... perhaps
Hmm
i think for your heating have a look at diesel heater vevor has them too
You are very handy with alot of different tools. Great Job
Thanks 👍
You might want to put a drawer in the plasma cutting box, for easy cleaning and when something falls inside. I am not sure about the wooden box underneath, sparks will fly once in a while. I try to stay away from wood when cutting.
Osb panel does not catch on fire easily. I tried to burn the flat surface with a torch for 5mins lol it did not catch on fire
cool 😎
Cool video bro, those little devils are growing up fast!
Yes they are
Love your vids; informative and family comes first with you.
I’d recommend building a grid of the vertical slats on your plasma table so it’s removable. To clean and service beneath it. Also maybe look into building a used oil heater. Seen a number of people in the northern states build them. They work sort of like a diesel heater but burn used oil. It’s an idea. Plus a use for all that oil that comes out of Joseph.
😅😅 all that oil that comes out of joseph goew straigt into the fuel tank 😂
