Heads up on the pallet buster tool. It splits all the ends and a lot of the time ruins the board. I've dismantled at least a few hundred and find it easiest just to run a recip saw or circular saw right down the joint of the board where it attaches to the rail. You cut right through the nail shank. It leaves the head of the nail in the slat but you could pop that out if it bothers you. If you don't care about losing 1.5"x2 of slat length you can also just circular saw right down each side leaving the tiny nailed piece on the rail. You just pop the center rail off with the pallet buster or just a hammer. This is the super fast method.

Thank you, friend! I have been following your journey for many years, and I have learned many things from you, which I use in my projects. I also appreciate you featuring my airsoft bow at the end of your video.
Isofar as throwing stuff overboard: I used to fish some in the Boca Ciega / Skyway area (where you just left,) with my brother in law, and back in the '80's we'd throw our beer cans overboard but would crumple and tear them asunder before jettison, with the hopes that would accelerate corrosion but I think that was not good in retrospect. Nails in salt water I think would not last long.
Of the 2 machines that were the same, one had a 5 percent coupon and one had a 15 percent coupon. Its the difference of about 8 bucks off vs 25 bucks off. if you clicked the little box you would have paid $145.
Another great video Doug. Don't you just love some of the fantastic tools that are available these days! 👍I know you may not care, but just a little heads up: to have a mini bench grinder that is just for sharpening tungsten's, that is the way to go (no contamination from other metals) plus if you sharpen them end onto the wheel on an angle & rotate the tungsten, you will find it throws a more uniform arc. Believe it or not, the direction of the grinding does make a difference. Maybe you don't do enough TIG work to justify it, I just thought you'd appreciate knowing. Cheers from the long term follower from Down under! 😎
Doug, put a SPDT switch on those water pumps and then that can just be added to the general maintenance list to flip it once a month or something like that.
i've made a laser engraver i lay on top of plywood pieces or boxes when i had plenty of such tasks. Made it a little bit enclosed to stay away of stray beam reflections. Dont like to look at a laser with my remaining eye. the case made it slightly more rigid so i could handle the graver somewhat carelessly around. Usually these small toys are powered with grbl & arduino family, so you can tweak them easily. I've modified marlin 3dp firmware to fire a set pwm value on laser's ttl leg on g1 moves and set zero on g0, so i can build vectors from 3dp software like cura or simillar, just make the model of 1 'layer' thick. Playing with infill settings gives you vectors in g-code, with nice patterns inside if you need them, or just plain outlines if you fancy. Put dozen of pre-maid labels on the sd-card, it was fun to mark the stuff with it.
A word of caution with burning used oil in the diesel heaters. David McLuckie from the UK does some good videos about the burn chamber getting caked in deposits. Highly filtering may slow it down, but I think the overall gist was that it wasn't worth it.
2:40 Well in a couple of weeks you have a boatload of plastic totes laying around so you could repurpose one of them to act as a smoke catching thingy and connect a shopvac to it get the smoke moving either into some water in said shopvac or just outside...
You know what, I have my drill, impact, socket set, side cutters, etc, but I realized I don't have a hammer. How in the world have I made it this far without my own?! Guess I'm going to Lowes tomorrow!
The Japanese bought broken glass from China. The Chinese became curious has to what they were doing with it. Turned out they were not really interested in the glass. They wanted the wooden crates and pallets they shipped it in. Wood like that was unavailable in Japan.
As long as you are not too close to a beach the rust will actually be environmentally beneficial as rust promotes algae growth and that in turn sucks up the CO^2 from water, making the sea less acidic. Now before you go dumping your old rustbuckets into the ocean remember that too much is too much and rust itself will acidify the water locally and in high quantities might destroy your favorite fishing spot.
Fisherman's Friend cough drops work great and they give sea cred. Also take a couple of herbal Ricola cough drops and dissolve them in a cup of hot water or tea. sip on the liquid and it will sooth you throat nicely. can't wait to see how the sea chests come out! shouldn't you have a parrot by now? maybe one of those Monty Python ones.
well it's high time you got a sponsor and Fisherman's friend seems like a natural to me. Sail on, Sail on Sailor. Still waiting for the mini lessons you said you might do such as how they calculated knots in the olden times and how to use a sextant, etc etc still have your boat warming gift on my desk with no address....@@SVSeeker
I drove a bus for a while for some extra money and made the bus mascot 'The Invisible Bus Parrot'. The little kids would look all around the roof whenever he would squawk out 'Invisible Bus Parrot, Squawk!' and tell them things, or tell them not to do such and such, or to look at something cool we were passing.. I haven't seen that fella in years. I can put a word in if you want one for a ship's mascot. kek!@@SVSeeker
when the threads rip out on the door try rivnuts like a rivet but is a nut that is press fit that work great for thin metals love it when a new video come's out!
I'm not sure I understand why a gyro is needed for laser engraver? Do they try to run of the table or what? I have a SnapMaker 2.0 3D printer with CNC head and Laser engraver and there no gyro. But on the other hand it won't try to escape. Way to heavy! 🤣
All ships at sea must be engineer for operation by slightly intoxicated sailors. So why didn't you just machine a brand instead of getting the laser engraver? Just curious. I would have gotten the laser, too, because laser.
Yep some days your needs and wants get mixed up nothing wrong with that some days you need something some days you just want something most of the time if you want it you will use it at some point so your mind is telling you that you want it be for you need it justification 😂😂 lol
Who is complaining about putting iron in the water!? Probably the same people who complain about controlled burns and other fuel load management programs (looking at you city dwellers of Cali >_>). I really do not like people complaining about things they have zero knowledge of. . .
I’ve spent a lot of time in ‘Cali’ and have never heard a single complaint when smoke from controlled burns has engulfed the cities I’ve stayed. I think most Californian’s would be tolerant of a bit of discomfort from a controlled burn if it means less death and destruction from an uncontrolled burn. Have you spent a lot of time California!
@@briansaben5697 I lived and worked in both rural (Yosemite) and city (San Francisco) California. I grew up in the state and spend the first decade of my career there. I have seen first hand the activists who shut down controlled burns around Yosemite by lobbying in Sacramento, talked with coworkers who derided lumber harvesting in overgrown forests and watched policy set up our forests for crown fires that destroy the entire ecosystem. I have friends in CalFire who *to this day* complain about government policy hamstringing them in fire management, as politicians seem to prefer waiting or fires to start to allocate money rather than allocate money to prevent fires in the first place. California fire management is a SNAFU, and has been for decades, if not longer.
@@briansaben5697 Blanket statement or not it is an accurate representation of California forest management and how it got to be that way (i.e. "really bad" and "because the voters want it that way" respectively). Considering all the commentary from city dwellers (and their media outlets) on the topic I feel fairly confident that my blanket statement is more accurate than not. Or did you miss all the demonizing of the power companies during the last batch of major fires. You know the ones where the power companies warned about fire safety clearance around their lines but were blocked by a legal injunction form doing any actual work to keep those safety corridors clear, and then were demonized *again* when they turned off power in response to fire hazards under their lines? Yeah, those were pretty city-centric policies too, judging by all the commentary around it.
@@lucusloc It’s not an accurate statement, that is my point. In regard to forest management, it isn’t a simple or inexpensive answer. It would be great if it were but like most issues there are a lot of interests involved (some good and some bad) with millions being impacted. As for defending the power companies and ‘demonizing’ those impacted by forest fires, once again it’s not that simple. For example, PG&E has reported profits in excess of $16B the last couple years but has failed to invest in their aging equipment, which has been blamed for over a hundred deaths and thousands of homes and businesses over the last couple years. Rather than use their own money to foot the bill, they were given permission by the State, at PG&E’s request, to increase rates to pay for the improvements. So who is the demon in this situation?
What a journey, I watched this ship while it was built it in Tulsa and have been keeping up with it since it was plate steel in a yard. I bought a lathe because he and the late Superdave were keen on it. I drove past it all the time and you could see it come up from US 75 in the S curves by downtown. I took my son and his friends by it to see it and show them how to do Humaning. I miss it now, I drive thru the S curves and there is no longer a reason to slow down and check on it. I hope one day to see it again. Fair winds and following seas to Doug and his.
Now I have to get a nail extractor! And a pallet board remover. Thanks a lot Doug. Years ago me a buddy of mine disassembled A ton of oak pallets, planned and sanded. Then cut them to makes a hardwood floor. It was a lot of work, and could have used those tools 30 years ago.
So I do this green solar stuff here in California. And I want to tell you that there is just a endless Wood pallets. Not to mention tons of aluminum rail and copper and aluminum wire recycling and such. More too. Piles.
I love type of faucet that looks like a half pipe with the water flowing down the half pipe.... however, from experience I can tell you if you get air in the line, for what ever reason....as the bubbles come through.....it WILL spit all over anyone in range until the air clears.......jus saying...
A hell of a lot worse has been put into the ocean then cars or nails :) Just off San Diego, they are trying to understand how much WW2 munitions are dumped and what if any hazard they are. Off of SF they dumped nuclear waste..... You are in FL, go find some gold or silver from Spanish treasure ships! :)
Dough a piece of copper wire inserted with the screw in the worn hole will refresh the screw hole and hold a screw. Bend the top of the wire 90 degrees so it will hold position in hole as you replace the screw.

Doug, put a SPDT switch on those water pumps and then that can just be added to the general maintenance list to flip it once a month or something like that.
Try nutserts for putting thread into thin sheet metals. It's like a pop rivet but has threads so you can use a bolt into it.
why not attach the laser diode to your cnc machine?
i've made a laser engraver i lay on top of plywood pieces or boxes when i had plenty of such tasks. Made it a little bit enclosed to stay away of stray beam reflections. Dont like to look at a laser with my remaining eye. the case made it slightly more rigid so i could handle the graver somewhat carelessly around.

Because every tool can be a hammer. : )
@@SVSeeker You're 100% right. Not going to lie, my phone has put many nails into drywall for hanging things. Works great
Betsy makes a great first mate. 😊
You could have just bought a bare laser module and install it on your cnc router. I added a laser module to my cnc plasma table.
Shouldnt you use some acid in 304 and 316 welds, to make them pretty and not rust on salty envirorments?
"pickling" ...I think it's more for pretty than rust, but I should get some and try it out.
The Japanese bought broken glass from China. The Chinese became curious has to what they were doing with it. Turned out they were not really interested in the glass. They wanted the wooden crates and pallets they shipped it in. Wood like that was unavailable in Japan.

your right that nail remover would get old not now thou for real i would do more then one and still be good doing it.

K i now need those tools.. hand hammering nails out sucks
Did you click add the coupon?
