small engine shop remodel (part 1)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- I like order and neatness. i have collected so many small engine parts and related small engine tools, that it was starting to look confusing in my shop. I have a hard time working in messy and unorganized conditions so I go to great lengths to keep things tidy. This will go a long ways towards that goal.
I am an amazon affiliate , Shopping through my link doesn't cost you a thing, but I get a small fee when you do. Thanks! amzn.to/2VKQjIV
Some of my favorite work is working on the shop. It's relaxing.
When I run out of projects, I work on making the shop more convenient to use. You’re right! It is relaxing!
My goodness! You have more energy than anybody I have ever known! Always busy doing something IMPORTANT! Wish I could 'enthuse' my hubby with just a little bit of that --- especially the ORGANIZATION PART!!! ;D
I can’t stand messy or unorganized areas. It makes it hard for me to do good work.
Spring cleaning and remodeling sounds like fun
I actually like it. Sometimes I find things I forgot I had.
Prayers said for you and the Mrs. for your health. My sis has thyroid problems with same symptoms as you were describing. Dr. did not want to remove so they were able to get it under control with meds. Hope they will with you also. Shop looks good.
Thanks very much!
Man I wish I had your energy and drive!
I wish I had energy!! I really have to force myself to do things.
I hope you feel better soon, Brad! The shop looks great! I love the stolen shelf/cubby space idea! I get really anal about efficient use of space as well, so I understand you hating to lose it, but it looks very efficiently allocated to me!
Well since then I e rehung all my tools and there is plenty of room.
Ingenious idea on the bin slots, I’m going to do that in my garage. I hope you don’t mind that I am going to borrow or steal your idea. LOL 😂
I hope you feel better soon...
I got these bins at Walmart.
Nothing like a nice and neat work area. Wish I had one!!!! (LOL) Lookiin good there Buddy . Can't wait to see the finished product. Might even get some ideas from you. :-)
You have a brand new shop building! I know you haven’t had to to make it un-neat!
Looks good so far.
By the way.....
Your added to my prayer list.
Have a Jesus filled day
Greg in Michigan
Thanks Greg!
Rest that back man. Mine used to get that bad. Yuck. Sorry about you thyroid, but I am very glad you're dealing with it and maintaining good spirits. Hope you keep it up and whoop it. Nice work on the shop, btw.
Thanks!
Welcome!
The shop is taking shape and looking good 👍 I hope that your medical issues work out for the best for ya 😊
Thanks! I should be done with the shop today.
Looks great 👍 Buddy
Thanks!
Sorry about your back and thyroid . . . . it ain't easy getting older. Take care, stay happy . . . . Rog
Getting old is not for the weak!
Shop is looking good BC. I'm a believer in keeping all the parts I came with until it's my time. I also think that trying to control your thyroid naturally is worth looking at and surgery should only be a final option. If it comes down to it having to come out I think we can get 'er done right there in your newly remodeled shop with all that fancy new LED lighting.
I’ll have an ultrasound on the 7th. I’ll know more after that.
Good, keep us posted, being pro-active and informed will make sure that the DR's know that your serious about your health and will do what's in your best interests, not their accountants.
the shelf is level, it's the shed thats crooked lol.it's looking good BC, coming together nicely
Thanks! Designing a swing away laptop station now so I can look up parts and watch vids in my shop. Got a laptop for free and fixed it.
Thyroid issues run in my family too bud. The shop looks nice...I wish I had the time and motivation to tackle mine.
New tools make me find motivation to get out there and clean it up.
Brad, nice upgrade. Hope you are better soon.
Thanks!
That looks nice and Yup the older I get the thicker my glasses get
So far, I just need reading and close up work glasses. I’m at 2.50 now.
Great idea with the cubbie spaces! I am sorry to hear about your health issues and I will be praying for y'all buddy!
Thanks!
Looking good!!!
Thanks!
BC Truck I had goiter and nodule problem with thyroid and found a good doctor to take it out I have refound energy and feel better then ever but the only down fall is they put you on a med that you take for life and i do have a scar on my neck from them taking out thyroid It was so worth it to me but glad i didn't have cancer of the thyroid. Its a pretty important surgery that only takes a very weeks to get better Do you research BC I'm glad I did and did the surgery Good Luck
Thanks Kieth!i get an ultrasound on the 7th. I’ll know more in a week.
Lookin' GOOD!
Thanks!
Belive it or not, I really enjoy cleaning and re- organizing in the shop. I spent a lot of time doing that on Sunday. I'll be making another one of those steel shelving units this weekend. Can't wait. LOL
I feel sorry for guys without shops. I would go nuts.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose are guys without shops really guys?
Lookin good driver
Thanks!
Looking good BC.
Thanks Robert! I’m waiting for UPS to deliver my bench lol get them I can paint my bench and call it done.
Looks great man...good luck with the thryroid. Have you ever used one of those workbench lighted magnifying glasses? I got mine at Harbor Freight for (if I remember correctly) $40. It really helps when working on stuff and you can see tiny little letters/numbers. Clamps onto the table or shelf
I have one of those magnifying lights on my knife making bench.
Thanks for the video. Hope the thyroid improves. Watch out for the hemispherical"rhoids"! Seasoned techs get those too! They aren't necessarily from Chrysler either!
Back so sore it hurts to breathe. Going to see the doctor today for that very reason, and at six and a half feet tall, I have a lot of back to hurt.
That’s me. I’m 6’2’’. My back got messed up when I was injured in a plant explosion a few years ago.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose I went to a chiropractor 15 years ago for a stiff neck. He did an Xray, and told me my bottom 4 disks were bulged... Oh well 1 too many motorcycle accidents I guess.
So you feel it OK to keep updating your shop as time goes by to make it more effective?
As time goes by , I find things or arrangements that work I r do t work.
Sorry to hear about the thyroid. Unfortunately I know how it feels to hurt when you breath
never saw shelf brackets upside down,interesting if they hold up because i might try it
I was thinking the exact same thing
You lose flat area on the shelf surface and they are designed for the most strength underneth.
I have no doubt the brackets are just as strong upside down but I can’t bet on the screws holding the board on. That would be the weak link.
perhaps using machine screws would be better?
+BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose
I do like how you made the compartments for the organizers though.
best of luck with your thyroid,heart attacks and cancer run in my family. i have had open heart surgery and a triple bypass and then 2 stents put in after 2 more minor attacks....
Sheesh! I hope your motor is tickling my fine now.
i have my good days and bad,my body has become a thermometer....lol it is better than the alternative though,i take things day by day now. some days i will feel up to tinkering and others like today i just relaxed,i am no longer punching a clock....
I must of missed something, maybe in an earlier video, but what is the battery for? The shop is looking good so far. I can not wait to see the finished product. Hope you are feeling better soon.
The battery is for the winch on my ceiling. I use that to raise mowers up.
Your thyroid is very important. Naturally your thyroid needs iodine, if not present in the right quantities it will use chemicals that are similar from the environment. Natural news sell nascent iodine, its a daily dose. I would try that for a while then retest. I've been using it for a couple yrs now. I feel it's my shield from the pollution. I.e. Chemtrail and chemical plants
Thanks! I’ll consult the oracle (google) on that.
Nascent Iodine might help you.......Thyroid problems are (generally) from low iodine intake........InfoWars has a vey pure nascent iodine.......Hope this is helpful.....God Bless.
Thanks!
Looks great, will the shelf hold up with the weight you add, being as the supports are upside down?
They are just as strong upside down but the weak link would be how well the screws hold the wood. I won’t have weight on it anyway.
Excellent work on the shop layout. Your camera probably has a slightly wide angle lens which tends to curve long straight object edges and lines. The more the wide angle the greater the curve. I am sure by now you have heard of the drug Synthroid. Once your thyroid is removed you will be on Synthroid for the rest of your life. Frequent blood tests at first till your correct dose is found. I understand it is a inexpensive drug. I wish you well with that issue. You should be fine. You do sound winded in the video. Slow down a bit.!!
Thanks! I’m winded at all times now. Part of it is the damage that happened to my lungs when I was in a plant explosion and inhaled a chemical that permanently burned my lungs gs, and I’m sure part of it is the thyroid.
You've joined the thyroid nodule club! The meetings are the 6th Tuesday of every other month. Seriously though I think they are not inclined to remove unless they really need to because I've had nodules for years and though they keep testing them, biopsies and all every 6months - a year. Trouble swallowing because they are pressing on my esophagus and still they haven't been keen on removing even the nodules. Mine slow me down though so when they speed you up they are more likely to remove them or kill part of the thyroid to bring down the over production of hormone. Were you losing weight recently without trying?
Losing weight??? HA! Double ha! I’m having a very difficult time focusing, concentrating, lethargic and out of air constantly. My heart flutters and races. I’ll get an ultrasound on the 7th. I’ll know more then.
I'll keep praying for you.
I know how it feels. For some reason doctors often think if you have some of the faster symptoms like racing heart that you can't have low thyroid but mine did that. My husbands sister had the opposite and after a life long struggle with weight loss she suddenly started to lose weight, was full of energy, lost over 50 pounds without even trying. As it progressed though she started to not feel well, was getting other symptoms that finally made her think something was wrong. Then they addressed it.
Like you there are others in my family with thyroid issues. My grandmother and cousin had to have it or part of it removed.
If you have questions about the tests l would try to answer them for you. I think I've had all of them that one can have.
Don't let them remove your thyroid unless there is no other option..my Brother had his removed for the same reasons they told you. Now he is on synthetic hormone replacement for life..if you don't take the meds after it is removed you die...What if there is a SHTF and no meds are available? He has had nothing but trouble since they removed his they can't get the hormone levels to stay normal. About the shop I am like you disorganization makes me crazy! I worked as a master automotive technician for over 35 years. My work space was always neat and in order. The rest of the techs not so much..
I don’t know how people can work in a mess. I have a freind that actually has to buy tools and parts because he loses them in his messy shop.
Bummer about the thyroid thing, gettin' old really sucks a lot more the the informative pamphlet explained...... Your shop is really making me feel bad, between you and Wayattoneable, I'm thinking I need to at least start hanging things.....
I have a freind whose name I won’t mention (dwayne) and his shop is so messy you can barely move in it, but he makes some beautiful things in there.
BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose I only have enough ocd for useless things, like never hanging up a shower towel crooked, or uneven with its mate.
Or for cutting firewood to a precise length, (needed or not). Apparently the shop doesn’t fit my mold......
JimsEquipmentShed my office/computer room is a whole nuther story too.
Yea, my office is actually pretty orderly, I run a camera loan center, so that has to be semi organized just to survive....
awh man,thats all they whant to do is take it out ,please take some time to think about it if you can,i ended up with mouth cancer and am still going through all there standard of treatment,and i really wish i didnt ,they took a lot more than what i was lead to belive ,honestly they didnt fill me in fully
Have no fear! i will know more than they do when it comes time to take action. I have a ultrasound on the 7th. I'll know more after that.
