Starting in 2018 we endeavored over 2 years to bring life back into a machine shop that had existed for 100 years. We also decided to document the whole thing. Many of you who have watched our content for a while may be familiar with this series as it's what really kickstarted this channel. However, many of you are also new to our channel and may not know about this series! Well here it is, in all of it's glory.
2+ years of work condensed down into 4 1/2 hours. We hope those of you who decide to watch some (or all if you're crazy) of the series can appreciate the time and effort that was invested towards turning this shop into what it is today. Is this the first time watching any of this series? Are you an older subscriber who's followed us from the beginning? Let us know in the comments below!
Thanks for watching!
Special Note:
We had to remove the sound from the historical footage of the bullard machine due to a copyright claim! Sorry for the silent video, but we'd rather keep that cool old footage included than remove it entirely! Apologies for that! If you want to see the unmuted version it's available in the original upload of that episode (for some reason that one didn't get claimed): ruclips.net/video/NCwvvZ-ZlLI/видео.html
Hmm... building one of those bone braces from the books would probably be a neat project. And the joke suggestion is: build a WWII bomb shell to spec.
Neat video, bangin' soundtrack, and I wish you luck.
I suggest putting a text box at the bottom of the screen that says that there. I thought my TV’s volume shut off.
@Jamie Fales If I could find a way to do that I absolutely would! Unfortunately the RUclips editor doesn't seem to have a feature like that 😓 Otherwise I'd have to completely delete this video and reupload it, which I don't think is a good idea. Sorry for the confusion! If I can find a way to make it more obvious I'll certainly do so! - Walker
Should counterclaim because that's fair use. Also since it's now *your* property, you're using it for historical educational purposes.
Hello I love the soundtrack. Could we get a playlist or all songs used?
This video came up in my recommended list and I got completely sucked in. And for good reason--about 3 years ago I bought a circa 1937, 3,600 SF diemaker's shop that later became the shop for a mobile welding company. Similar to your shop, my offer was based on letting the retired welder leave everything behind. I did much of the same work you did, including cleaning the whole place out, saving a few stationary tools, then scrubbing and degreasing every last surface of the shop--wood ceiling included. My shop has most of its original hard maple floors (on sleepers, on a concrete slab), which I was thrilled to find were in restorable condition and can stand up to a towmotor being driven on them. Today, it's my ultimate hobby shop for restoring wood boats, woodworking, cabinetmaking, automotive repairs, and various other forms of doing/making. Congratulations on saving your shop--you did a terrific job. Thanks as well for bringing us along on your journey!
Living the dream! Mine too......
So whens your channel coming out?😂 I wanna see the shop! 🤘 hope i have a similar opportunity as I age, came across a shop sale to pick up an old welding table from a steam fitter/plumber the vice on the damn thing weighed close to 150lbs 😂 pry more like 90lbs i was just nervous to drop the thing on my feet. The old shop was the original steam fitter shop from 1930's in my city, with living quarters up above. Wish i had the money for the shop all together, all the old brick and everything. Sent chills through the bones when I first stepped in hahaha looked like endless possibilities to me but i was too young and too broke to know what to do with anything 😂
I'm from Roanoke and experienced the building before Tay picked it up. Roanoke is a railroad crossroads and this was a repair shop for that industry. The equipment was incredibly heavy duty, old yet still functioning, and made to handle most anything used by the railroad. The shop had a history that you could sense, see and smell when rolled back the main door. Tay's vision is to mix the old and bring what is needed for his shop into the current time. His training in metal work, among other talents was extensive and has allowed him to pursue his artistic visions. He has brought the building and his shop to a place where there isn't much he can't do. He and his crew are ready to take on most any project. I admit he has done a few things for me and all of them are one of a kind where Tay has taken my ideas and made them so much more than what I could have thought possible. Thank You Tay.
There is almost nothing more satisfying to watch than competent riggers just breezing through a job. One of my favorite trades to watch work.
I’m a Swedish gunsmith with a small shop, dealing mostly with rebarreling precision rifle stuff. Got a lathe, a couple of mills, toll grinder etc. Just got a few minutes in to this video and instantly know that this is something I will enjoy thoroughly 😋👍
Could I ask you a question just where are you at
@@timkent3891 As I wrote, Sweden.
I started watching this not really paying attention to how long it was or what it was about. The more I watched, I just kept watching about 1 hr. 10 minutes, I saw how long it was, so I have something to watch today. I enjoying this.
Being retired *and* stupid I guess you have to fill your days with something.
Weird, on suggested videos it says it's 52 minutes long down in the corner. Then I clicked it and saw it was 4+ hours.
Any modern, well-functioning country needs thousands of guys just like this.
They are some of the most important members of the society. They keep things running and once gone, can't be replaced.
i love listening to the "old timers". the knowledge and stories they can impart are amazing to listen to. i could (and have) spent hours just listening to how things were done. whilst not conforming to current health & safety guidelines, the knowledge can get you out of a scrape sooo many times! this is probably the best 4+ hours of video i have watched in a looooong time!
Most of the machines you got rid of are way better and will still be running than all the modern junk is clapped out
Well, I'd NEVER thought I would sit through a 4+ hour video (over 3 days, LOL ). You had me mesmerized especially during the tool haul out , when the old timers schooled us all . I am now subscribed and will follow you from now on. Thank you and I can not wait till the CNC starts humming. Loved your dad's business, your knowledge and great sense of humor. Have fun guys !
Totally agree. I cancelled an appointment so I could finish watching. I watched vicariously, hoping one day soon I could find a place like that. I would use all 3 wishes. I really would!!!
I'm totally not at all ashamed to say I just watched it in the span of about 6 hours. (Stopped to go get some food) XD
@@roberta4989 Ever heard of the pause button? 😁 I have to admit, I'm only a few minutes in, and hooked.
me too
In a time when products are engineered to become obsolete, it is refreshing to see people who value and use older machinery.
This is so awesome. I'm so grateful when people take the time to give these old buildings a new purpose instead of just throwing up a new cheaper metal building somewhere. It breaks my heart seeing these old buildings and factories abandoned and left to waste away when they represent how great our country, industry, and hard-working men used to be
The more I watch this, the more I think Jason from Fireball Tool would've been your best customer to buy all these old tools!
We just demoed a machine shop as part of a rehab project I am a part of on a 100+ year old brick plant in alabama. It broke my heart to the point I almost couldn’t watch the building come down.
This is BY FAR the BEST video I have EVER watched on RUclips man.
Anyone else spent 20 mins thinking “windows on a bathroom door? Sweet, we can see people poop!” Lol
Also how tf they got that scissor lift out of the office 😂
The very idea of windows on bathroom doors drives me crazy. Especially the proximity of those doors to one another. The fact that they're so close that the closing arm couldn't be installed without hitting the other door is a pretty solid clue something is a bad idea! Other than that, the shop is awesome.
I would have loved to hear more from the old timers.they deserve our respect and time to tell is the things google cant teach us.
"War Finish" referred to the paint and LACK of Bondo or "Filler" material in the air bubbles and casting flaws in the cast iron, machines were "Banged out" as fast as possible to help build tanks and planes and jeeps etc and the machinery manufacturers were told not to worry about making their machines pretty, just functional in those years
Cool! I had actually wondered a about those tags for a long time. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for explaining, I'm sure there's a good joke in there for others - meanwhile I'm just happy to be learning!
This video popped up and anything old, I love! What makes this video great is he just opens the video and gets to the point right away. No 15 minute suspense. Love this!
This old machine shop seems like a little time capsule that held all those machines from years gone by. Very cool!
Oh, the history!
Yes exactly, in some way it is also a testimony of a time when there were a shop like that could employ several more people (for instance the one specialized in surgical metals). With the cost per employee rising, the shop surely ended up overwhelmed by the sheer amout of specialized machinery to maintain and repair, and the inventory of equipment and material.
Each machine - an examples of human genius...
Ive been a machine tool mechanic/millwright for the past 30+ yrs. Ive set up about 100 shops, taken down about 80 shops, and throughly enjoyed watching this video. You had/have had some very good machines and you did good in moving them out and getting them to people who can use them. Btw.. planers/shapers came first as the universal cutting machine, then came the horizontal miilers.. then came the vertical mills we see today. I was looking at the ways on your machines (24" monitor) and they looked to be in darned good shape, so the previous owners took care of their machines. Thanks for the video!! Im now a subscrber.
From Ireland:- I love work. I could watch it all day!😅
I think your Editor definitely deserves a massive raise he makes this channel
Used to live in Roanoke work in Roanoke when I was in school and lived in South East glad to see someone still keeping Roanoke alive really miss it
As a former x-ray tech that worked in surgery who now is in a metal shop that medical device crossover was absurdly on point for something I would find interesting.
What an incredible opportunity to build your dream. Some people can’t get here. I’m glad you appreciate it
Even with the bent line shaft, I would have figured out a way to have a turning line shaft in the office. That would be so cool, running a fan or something.
this guy has a machine shop...what do you mean figure out a way, he literally is in the best place to make an adapter/s to get that up and running again
it could also turn an AC compressor to get air conditioning going
Thats what I was thinking. Would have been a cheap plumbing job. Crossing of an hour from the bill for each hour that it takes to fix that shaft.
That part left me aghast! I was surprised and disappointed that he didn't even seem to research what it would take to restore the shaft drive setup to full-length operational ability. Especially considering the lengths he's often willing to go, to have things _just_ so... And that he had neat plans for that specific section of it... It made me a little sad, after so much prior equipment had such emphasis on going to a good home over getting scrapped or trashed.
I mean, it's obsolete, sure; but he can't be the first person to have a shaft drive get hit by equipment big enough to bend a shaft. There must be some decent options to straighten it or replace enough of a section to get it running true again.
Oh well.
I love the Piet Mondrian inspired multi coloured vehicle, one of my favourite artists.
I've been machining for over 40 years.What the old shops make us think! I once worked in a shop that had plates on the machines mentioning regulations of the War Dept. The US hasn't had a war dept in so many years, But when I stated mching, the old timers that were teaching me would put time aside to tell me of their war years, when they were the age of the kid they were talking to!
I guess this is a new channel. I subscribed.
Hello Renovator Friend,
superb restoration of your workshop, I was also able to acquire an old full-power electric motor winding factory, a factory that remained inactive for 10 years and in its juice, 6000 M² on three levels, I created a training center for students in academic difficulty, the contract is 5 days a week they come to CEFA training, the school provides everything necessary for students and teachers of applied technology.
the first floor is the classrooms and required amenities and the second floor is my apartments.
I wish you all the happiness in the world because when I go down to my workshop I am the happiest man in the world and that is priceless and when I work there myself the days are a real pleasure.
Best regards Alain from Belgium.
Guys, you have some gems in this workshop, in fact it’s not a workshop it’s a museum, if it had not been taken apart it would have been an ideal teaching tool for schools and kids wanting to take up the skill of a machinist to know how the industry has move on, great that you have documented this, it would be good to follow up on these machines to see them reinstated into there new homes
I enjoyed watching you restore this old place. 😊 thank you
Epic series! Sat through the entire series minus a couple of drink fetches but otherwise non-stop. And I thought Camarata was the king of long form video!
Enjoyed seeing all those vintage machines from when American machine tools were about as good as it got. Practical Machinist forum is a great place for information.
It's so amazing he's got the same voice like his dad!!!
I could have used a lot of that metal that was scraped. I wish I would have known about this when it first happened. All those old machines are awesome They definitely need to stick around and be used. And they were so simple and can run forever. Love the video!
I agree (as a semi-serious hoarder/cheapskate). If it's something special, or over about 3ft, I don't get rid of anything. racks for stuff 10'+ are super convienient, vertical storage for shorter kinda sucks, but that tends to get used first anyways. all my off falls shorter than that get moved to another area for a couple months, if they don't get used by the time that is full, It goes to scrap. (then the next week I'll need just that one piece out of scrap mountain LOL)
Men like this are an American 🇺🇸 treasure. God bless them 🙏
I do believe I could have a real good chat with David. What a character. That was quite a place as you found it. One wonders (aside from the medical things you talked about) what they built or repaired there over the years. Hendey Conehead lathes are a work of art. I thought I spied a Henley T&G lathe early on, that's a nice tool.
4 or 5 steps to accomplish the original objective is a common theme around here. I call it one step froward, three steps back! Nevertheless it gets done eventually. Wyatt is the kind of friend that is rare to have. And finally I am glad I live where I don't need to have a simple framed wall or some new lights inspected by the city! Cheers
"That was fast, They had the right tools, truck" and experience. No truer words were ever spoken.
That was a long to watch, but very informative.. Love seeing the old machines still being used.. I am a master carpenter, but I have a huge old "Bertram Lathe" and I 90% use it for wood turning. It was left in the building that I bought and is my wood shop, It costed me $2,000.00 to get it torn down, reworked, re-aligned, repainted (all original factory paint) & retooled.. I even found 2 huge boxes full of tooling and attachments for it, cutters and all.. It runs, better then a new one.. I will never go back to using a regular wood lathe.. Sorry to babble on.. Loved it, now gonna check out more of your video's and subscribe.. Thank you for sharing..
This video was suggested to me by the Great God Algorithm. It kept me hooked for the whole 4 1/2 hours (over 2 days.) Rehabbing old properties and preserving old machinery, and the history behind them, is so important an this day of sterile aesthetics and too much reliance on tech. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to seeing true craftsmen at work!
Since you obviously have a love for old machinery you should come visit us at Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association's line shaft machine shop museum. We're located in Easton, Maryland on the Eastern shore. We are open most Saturdays
I am so glad I searched around and found your channel. When I saw you were still involved with Black Dog, my glad went to glee. Then Mike showed up, and to add to glee I went to found memories of Salvage Dogs and I hit a feeling of happiness I haven't had since before covid hit. Thanks Tay, I haven't been this optimistic about the future in a long time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
A new viewer to your content,

You’ve got just about everything I could dream of for a shop. The only thing I didn’t see, was a forge for knife making, or a moonshine still. Other than that, you’ve got a pretty decent shop there.
Je could easily make one with all that .
An hour in I realized that I never looked at how long the video was... I'll be revisiting this video
Cool journey. I recognized your Dad as soon as I saw him. Loved his show. The windows look terrific. Can't wait to see the end product on onward.
Well, I'd NEVER thought I would sit through a 4+ hour video (over 2 days, LOL )......brilliant instructional vid guys.
Windowed doors into the bathroom from multiple angles, eh? That'll be fun for whatever poor soul has to use the facilities. As quoted "These doors have really cool ball hinges." Can confirm, you'll definitely be able to see "balls" through those doors if you don't put shades on them or frost them at the very least lolol!
I am absolutely surprised that no one in the building process talked about it. There must be a building code covering this.
And his office desk is just 5 feet away from the toilet door 🙄
spent 4 hours and 22 minutes straight watching this ;)
The line shafts were driven by hydro or steam, once the electric age took root the machines were retrofit with individual motors and line shafts abandoned.
Those old railroad freight handling items, the wooden hand cart and, the pallets, sure brought back a lot of memories from the 60s when I was much younger and worked for a railroad handling freight.
David's a lot like one of my coworkers who became one of my closest friends despite a 42 year age gap between us. Full of batshit crazy stories that sound unbelievable, but some people just have insane lives like that and I think that's incredibly interesting to me.
didn't even know who tay was and youtube recomended this video to me and the past 2 days have been an amazing journey into this guys life. no regrets on watching the 4 and a half hour video.
David Richard here on YT has a very good explanation of this. He restored his own machines from the 1920s or before and built his own line drive system that is steam powered by a steam traction engine and a boiler. Really a cool thing.
What a great roll top desk
40 minutes in and I really want to see the old tools running, post restoration.
There was a huge amount of history displayed here. Both mechanical and Human.
I found your channel this past week while looking for cnc plasma tables, and have been watching a lot of your videos. This was cool to see the 4ish year transformation. Especially liked the "Editor notes" throughout.
Actually surprised I was able to keep my attention going for almost 4.5 hours and watch this entire video, great work
i watched the whole video, very cool. yes, the loader has bucket scales, we have the same machine at work. we have a very old machine shop at work too with some similar machines. the plant i work in was built in 1923, at least the building i work in. you have my subscription, looking foward to what you do.
As a modern machinist. This is amazing. I'd give up a lot for a shop like this.
As old as the building is and being a machine shop I was suprized the floor was not wood blocks
Just started watching the video and the guy that took the first machine is 10mins away from me. Can’t wait to see more of the amazing machines that are in the building.
Well I was crazy enough to watch the whole thing! Awesome that you were able to transform that space. I'd kill for a shop like that. What's the back story on the place like how long it was abandoned for, previous owner stuff like that. Can't wait to see what you come up with next. Well Done!
I just sat and lasered 766 fuel jets at work and watched your entire video. It was great. Nice work on the video.
@16:40 One of the things I only recently found out about my family is that my Grandma on my Dad's side was a turner during the war - running a vertical turret lathe, I think it was, making the huge turret ring gears for tanks.
The wife of a second cousin ran an overhead crane in a factory, and my mother-in-law worked riveting airplanes during the war.
they were both stay at home mothers who only made bagged lunches for their husbands
I just watched all of this in one sitting
I have sat here and watched the full video, with no skipping. And I have to say you have done an awesome thing. That ol' shop is an amazing piece of history. And You did it very well. Seeing all the old equipment really was neat. Thank you for putting this together! You have got you're self a new subscriber! Keep it up man!
Well I guess RUclips knows me better than I do. I would have never thought I would enjoy something like this but I'm 2 hours in still mesmerized.
You should be able to reuse the old shafts you pulled down to extend & replace the bent part. Don't give up on the line in the office!
Some great old tools & Machines laying around.
What a fantastic story. Very well edited and with a great soundtrack. Nice job!
Maybe is changes later in vid, but I"m 11 min in and the background music is way to loud. Is nice music, just its volume vs speaking volume seems off to me.
Shop restos are my favorite videos because I want to do one myself
Looks like the first machine shop where I learned the trade. The best thing about machining is that you learn something new all the time. Anyone who claims to know everything about it is lying. Lol
I can't believe I just watched this entire video in 2 days 🤯
I cringed when the mezzanine with oil soaked old growth easily resurfaced lumber was torn down rather than disassembled and sold. Depending on what kind of wood was used and how much rot had to be cut away they probably destroyed 20 to 40K with of lumber. Old growth barn lumber is hard to find and very valuable.
fuck that mezzanine!
Such a waste. Shame to see them not even bother to put in the effort.
probably did not have that much rot either with so much oil in it would have been so nice to make some furniture with it
You aren’t making much with that… hard as rocks and oil soaked…
Eh I mean there is always limited time and knowledge going into something like this. You can't do everything perfectly in life and you can't know everything at the right moment in time.
FANTASTIC soundtrack.
Yah it is, the only thing is I can't find the name of the song at 1:38:30 and it's driving me nuts lol
Bathroom doors should open out. In case of fire someone in a wheelchair can open the door much quicker and easier. Any doors leading towards the outside except the front door should always open in the direction of escape.

It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.
Epic video! have spent the last few hours watching it. The drive and vision you need to pull this off is immense and I'm really impressed. One thing though.. I do have to ask.. clear windows into the bathroom?!?
Yeah, I'm surprised the building inspector expected handicapped accessibility for the bathroom, but not freakin' _privacy!_
Those dogs are so happy, when they can hang out with you.
Excuse my impatience, 6m in and I wondering WTH you'd depose such a capable old machine? Looks a marvel to me...
Ive answered this question a million times, keep watching, hopefully context will prevail! Thanks for the support by watching our videos! Cheers, Tay
@@LiftArcStudios if your looking for homes for the line shop stuff both
OLD STEAM POWERED MACHINE SHOP David Richards and keith Rucker from youtube would be good resources . thanks for the video and good luck with the new space
You can’t possibly expect most people to sit through your 4 hour video. And maybe answering the people that actually support your content would be more helpful instead of those thanks you offered…
@@Karim_teran if they aren't going to sit through the video why are they here? Or asking questions for that matter?
If you’re not going to use something it’s a waste of space. It’s a working shop not a museum. He keeps what he needs.
My Dad's shop had a 100HP central motor 100ft of main line shaft and two sections of sub lines 75 ft , Slap clap all day long !
I love the new shop but I’d put window coverings on the bathroom doors for privacy. 😃
Love the Partridge Family paint job on the pickup.
If I was closer and had $20k disposable I'd be down to buy some of that old machinery. I love this stuff. Thanks for taking us along.
You have the title wrong ... it should say "Wrecking an amazing piece of history to convert it into yet another modern unit"
Nobody wants to work in a museum
Absolutely fantastic video!.... I just can't help thinking about all the metal dust, rust, etc. you guys inhaled throughout the whole process... Really really should'a been wearing respirators.
Can't wait to watch more! 👍🏻🥃
@@billmielke7395 The business prior to this had existed for 150 years. This business will be gone in ten, if not less. Historical places like that workshop cannot be brought back once removed. It would have made an amazing museum piece for future generations.
The interesting thing about preservationists is they never buy the architecture they claim to want to save or the machines they want to spit shine every day and keep running. I worked for an architectural salvage company for 15 years, and for every historic house, school, factory, or hotel that we salvaged, ill show you 10 years of it sitting on the market for sale with no action taken. Yet, when someone finally comes up with the money to do something useful in that space, all of a sudden, purists come out of the woodwork with pitchforks spewing the same nonsense you are here. "YOU RUINED HISTORY" "YOU STEPPED ON THE INNOCENT HEART OF PURITY" "YOU LAID WASTE TO THE EFFORTS OF GENERATIONS PAST". The fact of the matter is, the shop was run down to a point of being barely inhabitable, would never pass another safety inspection and was quickly being surpassed by more modern shops in the area. At least I had the common decency to return it once again to a shop that could fix and produce custom metal items for the community. I poured 5 years of my life into bringing this building back to life the only way i knew how. For fucks sake, i continue to use half the machines i found in the shop! The line shaft is still in the ceiling! The machines i dont use have all been restored and put back into service by their new owners! To you sir, i say congratulations, you got under my skin this morning. Silly me, i should have just kept scrolling. But ive spent 20 years answering the same stupid questions by people who sit at home and judge others while they do things they only dream of. I defy you to show me how any other developer would have spent more energy preserving the soul of the former shop than i did. Good day to you sir. - Tay
@@LiftArcStudios Well said!
I KNOW how hard it is to keep a work environment clean. If they don’t own it, they don’t care! Good luck!😀🇨🇦
I started out thinking wow, this kid is busting his a$$ trying to do his own thing. Then I started to wonder why he was cracking jokes and acting all goofy for the camera. And he doesn't appear to know squat about anything machine shop related. Finally I realized toward the end that family money is funding the whole thing. There's really nothing wrong with that but definitely not as impressive as someone pulling themselves up by their boot straps.
I have watched this video across 2 days and I have lived seeing it come to life
Not keen on the toilet clear glass doors
Dude. You nailed it. Excellent job salvaging all the machines, tools, fixtures, windows, and everything between. Very very nice work. Sometimes the RUclips algorithm blesses me. Cheers from California.
What an amazing transformation! I can understand that it felt good demoing that mezzanine but damn, that wood could've been used in so many other ways, the rot did not seem to be that wide-spread.
However, using no masks because you've been quarantining together, sure. No masks breaking up concrete; straight stupid food. Use the mask ffs, we do not want you to get silicosis. A real danger when working with concrete (and other types of) dust.
Always love windows on the bathroom doors so others can watch me take a dump.
My Mother worked in Royal Ordnance Factory #18 (in England) on a automated American Machine producing Munitions during WWII.
So specialised was her work that she worked alone in her own building, where even the Safety Inspectors had to watch her from outside the building and so good was she at her job that her output was three times higher that the American Manufacturers of the machine ever expected.
Thats amazing! Its obvious the people who ran these machines were part machinist, part artist. To get to know a machine that intimately takes a special person. Cheers to her!
I am 70 yrs old and as a young man about 22 yrs old my father a 1940's Dunwoody Industrial School graduate , as a machinist. He served for our country in the Island of Guam, he rebuilt military units . So I got educated very fast in moving that large equipment! For in the mid 70's he opened a machine shop on our farm near Silver Creek ,Mn. He was always finding a war retired machine! The biggest item we moved was a monster Carlton 16" column radial arm drill press that thing stood 9ft tall and the base was over 8 ft long. He had a very young lad in the neighborhood by the name of Doug Lundeen cleaning and scraping the 3/8 of paint that was peeling off the machine!. Our other monster was a LeBlond 24 ft long lathe he found in Osseo,Mn. I also attended Dunwoody and graduated in 1972 as a Automotive tech and machinist. I am retired but still love to :Play: with machines!! Thanks for great memories Duane Berglund AKA Dewey . owner Dewey's auto,truck,towing and racing supply's. I love to mentor young men in the multiple phases of general repair of all things!
Wouldn't have typically looked this up, but it scratches all the itch of restoration, history, knowledge, things well done, etc that I love about some RUclips creators. The math rock soundtrack oddly tops it off especially considering how many of these videos have generic boomer blues rock soundtracks lol.
You know, we got a lot of crap for the music in these videos over the years, nice to hear someone enjoyed the soundtrack like we did!
You scared me when you said plywood for the pallet racking! Thank you for being smart and experienced enough th use the MDF! EDDIE
not today but when im on flight or something imma watch this in one sitting
5 tons on a 2 ton chain hoist that thing was crying for help 😂 y'all did a good job and got it done 👍
