Next time when you're putting glue in a crack try sticking a thin piece of plastic, tape or paper in the crack to work the glue around. It really helps work the glue far down in the crack.
Very nice! (and those hand trucks too). I built one like that out of walnut (twenty years ago, ha). It hangs on a giant oak and is six feet long (so you can lay down). I enjoyed the music too. Thanks.
There are a bunch of bunnies in the briar patches at the park around the corner from me. They’re always out of the patches, and munching on the grass in the open area. Sometimes in the morning when I go for a walk I’ll bring my vegetable scraps (lettuce, celery, carrots, etc.) and toss them along the edge of the patches as an extra treat for them. 😁 🌱🐇🌿🐇🥬🐇🥕🐇🥒🐇🌱 P.S. You should’ve added Raman to that glue. 😉😆
Good job I am all about repurposing stuff I find. Found a huge floor mirror with the fancy carved wooden frame, took it home cleaned it and re stained it in a light red mahogany. Found a nice piece of mirror glass a company was throwing out, cut it to fit and ended up trading it to antique collector.
Awesome job Brad! Watching you repurpose that old porch swing into a bench is genius! Giving thrown away things new life! This reminded me of spending time with my Papaw, when I was a boy we would go to the local dump and find treasures others had thrown away and he would repair or repurpose thing's and give them to whoever could use them. Growing up poor can have some great advantages, that old dump and finding treasures with my Papaw was priceless! He is dearly missed! Today I can't pass by a garbage dump or junkyard without thinking about what treasures might be there! Thanks for rekindling some great memories Brad! If more folk's were like you and saved disregarded items the world would be a better place!
My Papaw would save everything. He would find a way to repair something you thought he should just throw away and he'd get another 10 years of use out of it. He had a deal with the local grocery store to pick up all their discarded vegetables that were bruised they couldn't sell. Kept his hogs fed for free. I miss him every day and I wish I could be more like him. Papaws are irreplaceable.
Hey, a little suction cup can help push glue into cracks like that. It can be more effective than you’d think. Also thinning the titebond with a little water can do wonders to get it to seep in and run down into a crack. Ps. The suction cup trick i lifted from twoodfrd.
Pretty cool resto-mod :) Just wanted to drop a Thank You for the DeoxIt Fader F5 rec. Vista Series Jagmaster (once my Robben Ford go to) needed help. Worked like a charm !!! Thanx, Brad !!
That's the way to recycle Brad..! Great job and a lesson to all of us..Re-use stuff guys, everyone should do the same. Throwaway society will get us in the end..Peace..Ed..UK..😀
Nice job very satisfying to brink junk back to good use. I found a wet tilesaw at the curb the other night havent checked it out yet, LOL Im like you like to fix junk but mostly old outboards,LOLL!!

@brad for tight areas like that a diabetic insulin needle works well to squirt glue in , it was dickey betts or warren haynes who kept one in their case with wood glue because they would squirt it in to shore up the headstock of their 59 les paul
Love you attitude Brad, taking the time to restore an old piece, instead calling it junk and throwing it away. However... Could you have picked an uglier color to paint it with? It would look great with natural finish, just some protection would be enough.
I didn’t pick the color. Its what i had on hand. Some of the wood had large cracks that would have otherwise required filler, sealer, etc. this product is an all in one deck “saver”, so it’s made for this kind of thing.
Nice job. Even disregarding the cost of lumber there's way to much useable goods of all kinds piled in dumps around this country. Sadly, I don't think the present generation is being raised to realize "old stuff" doesn't mean trash. Or maybe they just think their time is too valuable to waste on saving it. BTW that's a nice use of a shade tree out back too😁👍
Great job Brad as refreshing for you as the bench - almost a meditation based on your skills, knowledge and effort. Wonder what preservative you used ? Stuff we can get in the UK doesn’t seem very effective.
@@TheGuitologist would be interesting to compare formulations. We have a lot of outdoor. Structures to house our poultry et but find wood preservative less effective these days. Wondering what has changed and why
@@TheGuitologist thanks for responding back man, I have an old oak swing very similar to this that was my parents when I was growing up.

Hey Brad, recently got back into electronics and found this vcr the otherday, after opening It to my surprise theres a tape in it, to my lesser surprise it read "Ass Lick Alley" in plain black lettering which got me thinking...maybe i shouldnt salvage this mechanical marvel for stomp box components, I could fix it instead? Its just the power chord was cut and im not sure which is + and - , whats left of the cables inside is a black and white one, the black one seems to go into a fuse i assume is the + but not sure, is there anyway to tell? Its a panasonic VCR, from 2003 nothing entirley special but maybe it'll be worth like 5k in 50 years.
Nice out of doors project!! Guess I'm gonna be cleaning and painting my benches this weekend! LOL? ? 😆 Might keep my hands off the Devils Business!! Also thanks for the loose wheelhub tip... might be what's wrong with my lawnmower tire. Didn't know it was a thing.
We can restore it, but we live in a society that tells us to just throw it out and buy another one. But there's a real satisfaction when you restore something like this, or build something for yourself that you'll never get out of buying something new
I always love a great project♻️ but somehow I always manage to never do the things I really need to get done🤦♂️ accomplished 😆 funny the way our minds work like, if you add something to the deck it takes your eyes 👀 away from the chipped and fading paint🖌️ 😆 I do the same shit man. Least you have a nice place to sit the way you attached it looks like it was built that way nice work 👍👍❤️
That part of the deck had a hot tub at one time. Paint is bad in that area. Painting the deck is probably a project for later this year…if I can afford paint.
Hey Brad, great video as always! I love the fact that it isn’t just guitar/music related stuff on here… You really do get a bit of everything!

@@TheGuitologist I’ve heard a few people say the placement of certain components could be improved. For example, in the combo, sometimes the power tubes can be pretty close to the speaker.

Isn't "relic'ed" items worth a few hundred dollars more than new? Now its gonna take about 10+/- years of neglect to reach its former "patina ". If anyone asks if you want to sell it, they're probably just planning to put a BIGSBY on it.

Nice repair job. I would have used titebond3 glue for an outdoors project, you might find the titebond original will let go.
