Hey friends I have a favor to ask....... hit that notification bell and the subscribe. 80% of you guys are here for the first time. Don’t miss out on another adventure.
Already subbed!
Did time ago but then I might dare to ask, is elmers glue a good replacement for tubeless juice ? (None at the stores :( )
I am subbed
Been subbed, bro. You’ll have to let me know if this tactic works to sway that number!
Done ☑️
Get some cutoff wheels for the grinder for the next cutting adventure.
happy someone said it
I’m honestly impressed he made it through with just a grinding wheel, haha
I was going to say the same, a Zip disc would go through that in no time.
😩
First thought lol
I can’t be the only one who is bugged by the use of a grinding disc to cut stuff
i know, wtf.
it was so painful to watch.
It's pretty terrifying watching someone operate a grinder with no guard, and no face shield...
My thoughts exactly use cutting disc for cutting and a flapper disc to sharpen a nice edge to cut roots and brush , funny that tool is called a rake hoe in australia .
Same here!!!😱🥶
Your buddy Seth seems to have a pretty sweet setup. He should try RUclips someday 😆
Or maybe less RC youtube LMAO
My hahahaha. His foot is really messed up in real life. Like a freak scary amount.
@@SteadySpin for sure, I’m glad that surgery seems to have him heading in the right direction 👍🏼
His RUclips channel is Berm Peak
@@atifahmad2959 he was being sarcastic
Did he just cut all that with a grinding disk
Hell ya I did. Sparks ⚡️ are cool.
that poor grinding wheel...
It got toasted. We needed cut off wheels anyways.
Bro. Pro tip : Cut Off disc next time on the Angle Grinder
At 35 I never heard of a cut off wheel. Weird concept
10% is a lot for sure. Every little bit makes a difference, when you're taking multiple swings/strikes at things. Looks awesome.
It for sure helped how accurate I can be with it.
Smartest.Tool.Ever.
About to build 2.0
please buy a 1mm cutting disk that was painful to watch.
But were the sparks cool ?
Thanks for the tip!! I made a Shorty out of an older McLeod I had. Now it’s my favorite trail tool.
That’s awesome 👏
That McLeod is high speed! Mods approved 👌
Got a 2.0 version coming soon.
The KevCleod
Nice
This dude looks blazed 24/7
Allergies 🤧............
A good way to live man, a good way to live
Steady.... more vids man!!! All the things!
How was this latest edit ?
@@SteadySpin Setting here, working, see the ping, and now i'm looking at my shovel to see how i can make a new tool because of you. If i screw up my shovel its your fault. Great vid once again sir! EDIT: I just realized something. Where the hell was this tool when I was building swimming pools??? I could have made the bowls even nicer.
Good job Kevin
Thanks bud
Kevin, thanks for the inspiration. Took out a stock McLeod and couldn’t help but feel like it was a bit heavy. Did a similar modification to yours and room about 1.5” off the square side and 1.25” off the rake side. Swings a lot better now with almost no downside. Thanks! Also sprayed camo colors for the stealth tool stashes
Nice work!
Omg. ive been looking for your channel, i finally found it
We found each other and will always be connected. How did you first see me ?
I wanna make one of these with a plasma cutter. Our family spent the summer working with the rangers at Paris Mt State Park and they have a bunch of those.
I wish the handle was better. If I was to do again. I’d weld back on the cut off piece to reinforce it.
Love the PBR Slush Slasher in the background of intro!
Old roommates board
Really smart and innovative!
I love it. Working on cars and bikes ive ground wrenches down thin or bent them in a vise to get the job done.
Got it done mentality will always get it down.
Nice modification. As a trail builder - I love it!!
Worked super well
Very awesome, love the "I'll build my own but better" attitude, looking forward the previews of the trails you''ll build with this thing!
Thanks bud
It's honestly surprising tool makers haven't caught on yet. It's not THAT niche (anymore). Proud 20percenter here btw!
Hell ya. I think it take a lot of hand work to find your perfect tool.
One of the best vids good idea with tool mods
Thanks
Awesome mods! It's always a bonus when you can make a good tool better for your needs.
💯
That’s ...... The-KOM-Emoji trail building tool!
Hell ya
You got another sub right here my guy
Too damn sweet you are. Thanks bud
@@SteadySpin ✌️
Yup thats Seth’s damaged bench lol
He loved the paint. Lol
Love it!
Thanks
Carbon fiber 🤯
Handle
I'm amused how many feeling you hurt by not using a cutting disc apparently 🤣🤣 Looks like it worked regardless 🤘
Thank you sir. Thank you !
I need one of those.
About to make a new version.
@@SteadySpin nice! Man I am glad to see you videoing again on your channel man! Plus you and seth got some great content at berm peak! Keep it up bro! Get at it!!!! Let know how much it would run me to get that new mod. I would support the steady spin tool time products! Lol
They are $40 on line and then you need a grinding disc and welder for the new one.
@@SteadySpin ill have to get one and buy a grinder. Home Deopt here we come!!!
Cutting with a grinding wheel?
Way to make it harder than it needs to be.
Get yourself some 1mm cutting discs, you'll love it.
But then you gotta promise to comment on something better ?
Just purchased it from the link, thanks STEADY!
Hell ya.
hell yeah
Thanks
Hey Kevin, from your buddy at Piney Mtn😂!
Pump track session ?
This vid was very helpful I picked up a McLeod and I am volunteering for the first time maintaining my local downhill park. Super excited to be part of it!! Hahah quack quack qwack
Hell yeah
You just inspired an idea for a new rake and shovel I might make
Do it.
The cutting part was so satisfying
Not for machinists or people that know how to use Angle grinders.
Sparks are cool
Imagine a world where people make videos for entertainment and they call it RUclips where huge sparks shoot across the room and someone has a tissue to hand you before every tear of disappears from your eye onto your cheek. But then there is the place where people don’t know the difference between a grinding disc and a cut off wheel. Are we in a blur between the two ?
Head weight is all about the moment. You've lowered the moment of inertia on that tool. You'll be able to do a lot more work with it due to the energy savings. I have an old McLeod that I customized with a 60" handle....I'm 6'4". I love that tool, but you've inspired me to stubby it up a bit. My trails are mostly rock....very little dirt. I've found myself backing off more often than not when pulling "molars" from the trail surface as the tines start to bend too much. Stubby McLeod.....with an extra long handle....will be an effective tool. Might even stubby up the tines on the Rogue Hoe (Sarah Palin) tools we have in our organization's inventory.
So much going on here lol. In the rock stuff watch your edge. It’s easy to weaken it by trying to get a larger “sharpened blade length “. I hope that makes sense. It’s a stronger tool not customized.
first time here for me! love the video keep up the good work!
Thanks bud.
More meowing at the end please! LOL!
😺
Anything with seth in it is worth watching.
What about I’m beautiful smile tho?
Right on🤘new video
Thanks
here i went through at the trouble of sourcing harrow disks, cutting, welding, heat treating and making my own handle for my trail tool. lol
I bet it a great tool and a fun process.
@@SteadySpin it was man! insisted on a 6' handle. can always cut it down.
Love the vid but I need that PBR snowboard lol 😂
Lol
Ide love to see a video on how its held up to the last many months of trail building
Coming soon
I'd like to try shorter teeth that are less pointy. Sharpened side edge would be handy for light cutting on roots/vines. Might have to mod a couple of ours!
Going to do a update and better tool soon
Hi, Kevin. I noticed when you were using the angle grinder that you used a grinding disk not a cutoff disk. The grinding disk is used for smoothing off welds and grinding high spots. The cutoff disk is made to cut pieces of metal. I bet Seth has a cut off disk somewhere! otherwise grate job and cool vid!
You didn’t like all the sparks ?
Nice Kevin, I have a stock McLeod, thanks for the tips. But please where ear protection when grinding, you will miss your hearing when it goes:)
I have been really about the eye protection 🥽 after two close calls on the trail.
Nice customization, curious to see how it holds up.
Great if you keep it out of the rocks lol
@@SteadySpin That’s the difference between the WNC Pisgah and the Fruita Desert, duff vs rocks.
10% of the whole tool, but a much higher percentage of the HEAD of the tool, which greatly impacts how the whole thing swings. Similar concept to shortening a sword and adding that weight to the pommel.
I’m going to try a new version where I weld the cut off piece back on to reenforce it.
Finally found Kevin's channel 😄
Yo it’s me.
@@SteadySpin your such a hero, I love seeing you on Seth's channel one of my favourite videos is watching you rebuild the rim with JB weld, happy I can now binge watch all your content while I'm still in lockdown in the UK
Hey Kevin when is the next video
You did a nice paint job to that bench in one of seths videos
Just being a good friend
You are so cool
Thanks
Man really went VVVVVVVRRRRRR
Lol
One of your most viewed videos then take a month off? Just show a time lapse of whatever trail your building. Those are massively poplar format videos. Seth's backyard, Berm Peak, skills with Phil. I know you are building or organizing a race, just film it. Love seeing you in action, you look a lot more comfortable hosting the video lately. Keep the content rolling.
Thanks man. Been down change but I got some video coming out soon.
And here we see the true cost of using Seth's garage for free... dance puppet DANCE!!! 6:15 XD But seriously Kevin you should do more videos because your voice is a lot less whiny than SOME people. Tee hee hee
Lol
Rouge has some interesting tools. I think Seth did a past video about them but have you tried them Kevin?
The Travis tool is my fav
Seth's wife must've loved the noise lol.
Comment look like he is wearing hearing protection either...
She loves me.
@@SteadySpin I imagine so...
Very nice. Would you recommend the Mccloud for building trails in a desert landscape or is there a separate tool for that?
Still a very useful tool for any trail building
I know I’m late but I met you at kanuga and you gave me stickers and I never properly thanked you so I’d like to say thanks.
No problem brother. Thanks for supporting me and the channel
@@SteadySpin yea for sure man your welcome ohh and is Seth doing better?
I wonder if the handle could be lightened, maybe a fiberglass handle would help, idk how you would make/gat one but its an idea
The handle is fiberglass
You should buy a rogue how they r awesome!
I have 3
2:12 that face
I got you
I have a couple of safety issues Kevin. Spray grinding down , my work vice hangs over the edge of my bench 🤷🏼♂️. Face sheild ???
Face shield was in the car for when I go shopping.
@@SteadySpin yer aye was on my riot helmet 🤘.
Thought you said you were gonna do a video on how to seal your camper shell
I ended up not really having much issue with mine.
With all the heat you put into the blade, it may have ruined the heat treat and temper. It may not hold an edge as long
Very true. There's also a chance that only a small portion of the edge was tempered to begin with, and all of those new edges are in soft steel
Hhhhmmmm might not have thought this through. You probably made the smartest comment so far. Nicely done sir. Yes I broke the tool already.
meeeeoooowwww
Lol
When I discovered how much better a sharpened shovel works... I could never go back. Only regretted it that one time when I cut the fiber cable to my house... oops.
Hhhhhhmmmm. That’s a real snake your head moment. Still totally worth it tho lol
Rouge tools.
Have their place for sure.
Oh hello Kevin
First
If you’re on mobile flip your phone upside down and watch from :06 to :18
Huh?
I could be wrong but it looked like you were using a grinding disk instead of a cutting disk. A cutting disk would have made quicker cuts
But not as funny or entertaining
I was looking everywhere for your acc
So glad we found each other. Check me out on IG as well.
@@SteadySpin sure thing bro
You likely build more trails than me, but can you share what you found better about the McLeod vs Rogue Hoe tools? I have the 70HR and 70AR Travis Tool and I love the 70AR as an all around tool. I am kinda wondering if I am missing something and need to get myself a McLeod.
Travis tool is pretty amazing. All around trail maintenance for sure. I use the McLeod all day long tho. Maybe one day we can hit some trail work one day.
Minimalizing the maximal material
Lowering the amount material it can grab
At 5:30 you can see Seths orange bike to the right of Kevin! Whats up with that? I thought seth actioned that off???
he will be doing a video about that soon
@@PedallingwithPaul Oh, alright sick!
Paul knows
What’s up Kevin
Wednesday rocking it ready for the weekend
@@SteadySpin yessir I’m up in nc right now myself
I noticed there was no huffing paint this time
Trying to grow it.
You like a bigger tool than the McLeod with that mustache.
Jk, good stuff steady.
35 and still can’t grow real facial hair
Isn't that a grinding wheel? if you use a cutwheel next time it will cut faster.
But then how would I have made all those sparks ⚡️
Go to 6:22
Ok
The weight is also lost from far end of a leaver...going to feel far more than a 10% difference.
True. Next one I’m going to weld the cut off piece back on to reinforce it.
Cutting disk maybe...
But less sparks?
"we are going to do pounds.. makes more sense" ... lol.. no ... let me laugh in metric ;) - Nice tool mod!
About to make a upgraded version
4:10 mc skeleton gets hit
Huh
Harbor freight : interesting....
They sell them there?
Jimmy Tatro's older brother?
Cute
Cool video, can anyone tell me the name of the calm musik at the start?
Epidemic sound
It's not just 11% weight reduction. It's 11% of the total weight, but that all came off the head of it. I would bet you cut the weight of the head by 30%. I split firewood with a splitting maul and recently switched from a 8lb maul on a 36" handle to a 4.5lb maul on a 32" handle. I can swing that lighter maul all day long. Only 3 times in 4 cords of wood did I wish I had a heavier maul, but I just grabbed my wedge and got through those rounds that way. I'd take a lighter tool I can swing all day over a heavier tool that burns me out in 30 minutes every time.
Totally agree. I need to put in a 8 hour day not just 30 minutes.
Whats up
Second
Anybody tried adding a section to the handle…?
No, but not a bad idea to reinforce it at head to handle
are we just not gonna talk about the ending??
Nope not a peep 👀
Wants to step in and help change to a thinner cutting wheel 👍🚶
I cut out the part where we tried a jigsaw.
@@SteadySpin 😂you rock bro, you're a bada$$ biker tho✊
Kevin I finally found your channel what’s up
Boom you have arrived
No way I just got the same pbr slush slasher
Boom
If your goal was to give every fabricator that watches this an aneurysm by watching you use a flap disk to cut pieces off your tool you succeeded
Killed it !!!!!
