    Congratulations to the winner of the helmet. Thanks for sharing with us Brandon, I see your OCD kicked in and you just HAD to put those cord hooks on your grinder rack. Excellent job and SO much better. Gonna definitely copy you on this one. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻✋🏻✋🏻

      @BrandonLund  3 года назад +2

      Thanks Fred! Yah it's a curse and a blessing at the same time. Every time I looked at it I obsessed that I needed to add the hooks because it looked sloppy with the cords on top. Now I have them under, I'm at peace lol. ✌ have a great weekend buddy!

    Great addition to the grinder rack . Now to change out the coat hanger hooks that over time straighten out and the cords end up behind the bench caught on other stuff LOL . Good video, to the point as always not too complicated perfect . I'm going to have to watch\ re-watch before making sparks 🤔 on your other projects now that I have retired. Love them all thanks .

    I remember back in the middle 70s they only put short cords about 12 inches long on power tools, it really sucked getting out a 25 foot extension cord to work at the bench.

    • @BrandonLund

      Thats a great idea @bart bley. The green cord on the right is about that long and I find it handy. It actually started out as an extension cord that got damaged 🤣🤣🤣

  • @theidahodian4518
    @theidahodian4518 Год назад

    lol at the OCD... My Daughter has it and claims "It's a Gift". I like the way you were able to change plans when the hooks were too far forward.
    Can't wait to build mine. I bought your stickers "Why does anyone need more than one Grinder" ... said No Welder Ever. I have 6 myself and I haven't even started welding yet.

    • @BrandonLund
      @BrandonLund  Год назад

      @theidahodian4518 thank you so much for your support! I agree with your daughter, it IS a gift....not so much when i was younger and in school though. I easily got bored and lost my attention span so I found myself getting in trouble by not paying attention, being talkative and disruptive. They put me in some advanced classes and that helped keep me interested. I bet your daughter is very detail oriented.

    Nice rack!
    Think I'll build one, however I have a different approach re: the cables.
    I wrap them. First pass around the arbor, and then round and round the grinder body, sticking the plug through the space between the body and the cable where it first comes on the end. Not tightly mind you. Tidy and doesn't harm the cable.

    • @BrandonLund
      @BrandonLund  3 года назад

      Thats exactly how I stored mine Frank but the thickness of the cord around the body makes it rough getting out of the rack. Maybe if you used 1" wide flatbar instead of what I used but it doesn't work that great with this setup how it is built in this video but I agree that's an awesome way to store your cords

    I love and prefer corded power tools but when they design them they should make them to where instead of them having a 8 foot cord or whatever instead just have a electrical plug on every tool and so then you can use one cord for all of your tools.
    I might chop all of my cords off and redesign them to have electrical connectors. .
    , most my tools are old or cheap anyways so no feeling guilty about chopping the cords off.
    Also that way I can choose how long the power tools cord is , I can plug a 8 foot cord in or a 50 foot cord no problem.

    • @BrandonLund
      @BrandonLund  3 года назад

      I could definitely weld your block but the price to ship would probably not make it worthwhile. Anyone with any cast iron knowledge can do this. Being from California it should be fairly easy to find a reputable shop that is knowledgeable about cast iron welding. It will likely require machining afterwards and I would recccomend a nickel rod or a specialty rod like Muggy Weld.
