Well done stu a brilliant job on the arched wall mate not a easy one by a long shot but the result and finishing looked really profesional .keep up the good work and keep the videos coming
Although I realize this comment got put in the wrong video (which is something I would totally do as well:-) I'm pinning it because when I read it in my email I knew exactly who it was meant for since I've watched @Stucrompton1 as well for a long time and also enjoy his videos. I appreciate you checking my stuff out as well!
its so nice for a change to see content that's just a guy making a living, making things happen. no attention seeking projects, no clickbait thumbnail, no catchphrases, no sponsored content, no product placement👍
Hey thanks for that, I appreciate it. My goal from the start was to make the content the focus no matter what I happened to be working on. I know I need to explain a certain amount of stuff along the way but it's by far the part I like doing the least. For that reason alone it's unlikely that Youll ever see me doing reviews and the like unless it's something I already use or have used for decades. There may be some product placement but it would be more along the lines of something that i've been hired to do anyway and the youtube part is a bonus. It is all a big experiment right now to see if it can be profitable and the potential is there but its deffinately a grind with highs and lows. There is a ton of youtube data for me to use ostensibly to benefit the channel but buried deep within it is a psychological element that (gone unnoticed) triggers an almost frenetic desire to keep creating content (which benefits YT:) I know i've seen it in other creators and when I started posting and combing thru studio I realized where it came from and what was driving it. So i'll just keep up the pace I can and the bonus will come from how well I can learn to streamline my system to cut time from the process along the way. Thanks again for watching and interacting with the video, it all helps:-)
Looks like "mostly work and some play, makes Jake a swell guy"! LOL!!! First I saw the downside up-stepladder trick on the staircase, now I see you can use a short extension ladder as a pry-bar!!! KICK-AXE JAKE!!!!
@@yourlongtimefan I'll throw it in again at some point when I can set it up and show the difference between ladders and situations. It's pretty handy if it's done right.
Another good one Jake! Definitely a cornucopia of projects and skills required for completion! I enjoy all the comments below, they all nail the scope of what you posted! Good job man!
Binge watching your videos since Tally-Ho's "saddle" installation when Leo introduced your channel. This is the last one, and I look ahead to see many more in '25. I am, however, as of this video, surprised you haven't manufactured a hydraulic press yet. Maybe to be continued in future episodes. Great videos, cheers.
Awsome Brian, thanks for the support! It's funny you should mention a press, I have been slowly collecting pieces and parts like big bolts and spacers and heavy steel for years to build one. Just never really closed the loop on it yet but i'm postive if and when I do there will be a video about it. Maybe i'll dig around and put everything into one box a build a pallet of steel so if there's a chance I can at least build the frame. I have a couple small power unit options but as long as the frame is done a guy can upgrade the hydraulics any time he wishes to.
Really enjoyed it all, but my biggest buzz was when you managed to procure the exact limit switches to repair the Pettibone Telehandler control... Thanks for sharing Jake :)
Hey Jake Great video my friend, you are truly a master at all trades. Been trying to catch up on your videos, seems like Thursday gets here faster every week, lol. I hope you are doing well, and keep up the excellent work. I never get tired of watching you do all types of different kinds of work. See you next week. 🤙
I am a finish carpenter hv no idea why I so enjoy these videos ? Maybe you will call me to trim it out in walnut and do craftsman headpieces for the rolling doors? Probably not? But I do enjoy seeing you put together complicated projects!
Awesome, maybe it's the scale of it or how it makes if from the pile of wood into some you can (or can't:) apply your own magic to? Either way, I appreciate you checking it all out!
It helps to have your mad skills. Carpenter, designer, equipment operator, electrician, metal fabricator/welder and that was only half way through the video.
Jesse Muller is overhauling his Pettibone, interesting to watch his channel. I think he got his when Andrew Camarata tipped his over on a steep driveway when the brakes failed, and he and Jesse got it back on its feet and now Jesse has it.
I'll have to check in on his progress. Over the years I've run at least 20 different telehandlers of all sizes and can honestly say that the pettibone 636 is just magic. Even tho I have two of them if another came along I'm almost positive I would pick it up and put it into the rotation. The brakes are tied into the main hydraulic system and when they go they really go as I found out one day. It pays to keep the active area hoses fresh and there's a couple on my list to do right now:-)
I think you need to go have a rummage around an electrical wholesaler for a silicone rocker switch cover for that mast control switch on the Pettibone, that groove around the top of the handle sure makes me think it should have one to keep the shit and water out, failing that chop the finger off a commercial rubber glove and shove that over it.
You’re absolutely right Simon, there was one there with a little circlip on it and I should just put something over it. I put a little roof on the top of the forklift and that helps a ton but not enough:-)
I know Jake (about the short extension ladder) I'm just messing with ya. I was told/taught in Minnesota that a long grab/extension tool is a Whiskey Stick!!
i live in central or. i remember doing a few jobs in the valley all the framers dressed like crab fisherman .working in the mud.luckilly im a tile cont.
That's a great way to put it and i'm still chuckling about it. Over the years I've noticed a great deal of culture shock from framers and carpenters from outside the area when they first come across it in the wild:-)
Jake, I told my friend all about your superior skills with the telehandler, but I think I’ll keep your forklift faux pas to myself 😉! 🤬Funny bone my ass.
Nah, the gray ford is a spare truck and the white ford is my old main work truck. The newer ram I normally drive is in the shop waiting on a new def pump…:(

@@ShredPiletop work from Stu Crompton. He’s as enjoyable to watch as you.
“Escape to Rural France” is doing incredible work also

Tight roping on the come-along cable like a Flying Walenda! Always impressive!
I was waiting for the backflip.

Haha, the next shortest thing was a 20' stick of lumber so I went with the ladder:-)
@@ShredPile I saw the ladder stair trick too, but I've already forgotten it

You are a 1 man building crew, im in construction myself and honestly you inspire me to learn more skills and work harder.
Another good one Jake! Definitely a cornucopia of projects and skills required for completion! I enjoy all the comments below, they all nail the scope of what you posted! Good job man!
Thanks Robert:-) Just plugging away over here.
@@ShredPile Here too and continue to enjoy what you post!!

That little guy has a sharp eye for that game. I enjoyed the mix of subject matter in this video.
That boy is really quick!
He is, Thats why I need to get on the board with a win before I can't :-)
Really enjoyed it all, but my biggest buzz was when you managed to procure the exact limit switches to repair the Pettibone Telehandler control... Thanks for sharing Jake :)
Yeah that made my day too Paul, the fact that I was able to get a pair with the heavier springs made it even better:-)

@@ShredPile I’m still here just a little more busy, my friend. But you still have my support.

Thanks Ray! If I just keep walking in circles it all seems to get done:-)
All I can say is you are so talented and skilled at what you do.
I appreciate that:-)
That was fantastic ... thanks for the bonus ... fun fun ... and of course the gem ... was that a jinx in the matrix?
I think it was:-) It sure hurt for a bit in any case.
You are one hell of a hard worker and skilled
Thanks Jan!
Thanks for a diverse episode , I cringe when I see methods of building that I might have used years ago . At least I get to see a master use them
Nice work and good job
Thought you were gonna get cross-checked into the board in that air hockey game Jake. Your competitor was brutal. You're lucky to have survived, lol.
Exactly, Coop's awesome and I wanted video proof that I won that game as street cred in the future:-)
Another Great video I used to love playing air hockey fab game 🙂
"Hey you want this cordless router to put some chamfers on that beam?" "Nah....hand me a worm drive and hold my beer while I send it". 💪
Lol, I'm not even sure I had my router with me. That truck was in the shop at the time. Didn't have to be pretty (and it wasn't:-)
Jake you play air hockey about like I do. LOL
And also great bonus 😅
Good times:-)

I learned a great new term, my old term “beats the shit out of me” will now be “it’s a fluid situation” -
Lol, 'live action design' :-)
Bonus: kid is good.
Jake, I told my friend all about your superior skills with the telehandler, but I think I’ll keep your forklift faux pas to myself 😉!
🤬Funny bone my ass.
Lol, sometimes I just make a mess out of everything all at once:-)
i think im gonna get good at tightrope walking and sell all my aluminum walkboards
It would be so much simpler to get around these jobs if we didn't have to play chutes and ladders every day wouldn't it?
Brazil i'am good affice
New truck? Sorry hate you had to get a new to you truck.
Nah, the gray ford is a spare truck and the white ford is my old main work truck. The newer ram I normally drive is in the shop waiting on a new def pump…:(
