Beginner Gasless Mig Welding
In this video, i have picked up a cheap mig welder (gas or gasless).
I have never welded before but always fancied having a go, so why not?
( Boys and their toys eh?)
How hard can it be??LOL.
The simple truth is...
It takes a tradesman a lifetime to learn but 3 years as a base.
I am a hobbyist and as such, just getting 2 pieces to stick together is my current goal!!!
I will succeed.
If you want to do something, eventually you will!! But....
YOU MUST PRACTICE.

FITTING EXTRA SOCKETS IN MY GARAGE
Переглядів 196День тому
In this video I fit some much needed sockets in my garage without cutting into the ring. By using a Switched fuse, I added the sockets on their own protected circuit. I surface mounted my cables and retro fitted conduit. ( you should fit the conduit 1st! Unfortunately I did not have any at the time of videoing!!) I used 2.5mm twin and earth cable and standard double sockets.
Rusty Hand Tools???
Переглядів 84День тому
In this video I give my block and smoothing planes a bit of a lift! They have sat, unused for an over extended period and were looking very rusty. Since the advent of power tools the use of hand tools has greatly decreased, along with the maintenance and upkeep required to keep them in good working order. Price work dominates the site landscape and has changed it. Quicker is the way of the time...
I installed a Combi boiler in my campervan
Переглядів 916День тому
In this video, I show the JP Heaters combi boiler I installed in a campervan. It was half the price of its European counterpart and works brilliantly. This is a diesel heater with a capacity of 10 litres ( again, the same as its European counterpart). It runs off 12v but has a 240v connection if you use a site hook up. This increases the output by 2kw taking it in total to 6kw. This is more tha...

DIESEL HEATER GARAGE INSTALL
Переглядів 287Місяць тому
In this video, I install a Chinese diesel heater in my garage after receiving it as a Christmas gift. This is an all in one type and comes ready built and ready to go. I used a 12v 30A transformer to run it as it uses a glut of power at start-up. Although I have run it, the weather has not been cold enough to use it much. As this changes, I will review and add a video with the results. #diesel ...
Citroen Nemo Starter motor change 2010 plate
Переглядів 369Місяць тому
In this video I show the trials and tribulations replacing the starter motor in a Citroen nemo. This has to be the most difficult starter change I have had to do!!!!! It is as though after they designed the van they said oh, crap, what about the starter. Or they have designed the engine first and plonked a body on top!!!!! If you have one to replace please ask in the comments if you get frustra...

How to make a Sleigh for Christmas
Переглядів 152Місяць тому
In this video I build a smaller version of my original 6 foot sleigh using off cuts of timber and ply, red and green paint and glitter and glue. This one is ideal if, like us, your outside area is on the smaller side. It is a simple build and you can literally make it up as you go! No Santa sleigh would be complete without reindeer so I made them also. I will have another video for the reindeer...

      @JackTarsJourneys 11 днів тому

      Thanks for looking. The ticking is not too bad as the seat tends to deaden the noise a bit. I have heard that there are quieter pumps out there but as I say the noise is minimal. You can't here it at all if we are watching TV. All the best.
