Reached 3000 subscribers on 4 May 2023. Never thought I'd see that many. Thanks to all of you. I hope to see my other channel reach that someday. @OregonOldTimerWOODTURNING.
Old retired folks have time on their hands to spend on projects and repairs that working people hire done.
I make things, fix things, and sometimes screw things up. But mostly I have fun.
I try to keep the crap in my videos to a minimum. I probably have more time to spend editing them than you have to spend watching them. Life is short, so I like to keep my videos short. It saves both of us time for important things.

Weird Doors for my Dirt Floor Shop
Windows and doors, and the shop will be closed in from wind and rain. Windows are in, now for the doors.
Normal doors are rectangular, square and plumb. Not these doors.

A Repair and Resawing Battens on My Woodland Mills Sawmill
Переглядів 7182 місяці тому
All siding boards on my dirt floor shop are up and waiting for battens to cover the gaps. Resawing 2x8s would be quick and easy, but first I made a repair to one of my sawmill modifications. When you've seen one batten nailed on, you've seen 'em all. I sped that part up 20X. I guess that's the same effect as time lapse. I said I'd give you the link to the video in which my sawmill's dust shield...
More Resawing Siding and a Bird's Nest in my Tool Belt

I hadn't used my tool belt in several years and there was a spider in one pocket and a bird's nest in another. I kept changing the window plan as I built the outer walls. How many and what size? When I finished the walls, I still hadn't made up my mind. Regardless, I needed to resaw more siding boards.

Resawing Siding for my Dirt Floor Shop with my Woodland Mills Sawmill

I have lots of nominal 2x boards but very few thinner boards suitable for board-and-batten siding. So I selected some easy-to-get-at 2x8 and wider boards to put back on the sawmill and saw each one into two siding boards. It didn't go as well as I'd expected, of course.

If we put things off long enough, we won't have to do them at all. That's because we'll be dead. As we age, time passes faster and the to-do list grows faster. Each year, there are things I don't get around to doing because there's plenty of time, and then it's next year already. This year, I will definitely scratch to projects off my long list. First is to enclose one bay of my large equipment...
Old Timer's Voice Is Damn Near Gone
Переглядів 7933 місяці тому
Sinus infections and bad colds affect voice. Many years ago, when I worked in radio, that transition between normal voice and laryngitis was ideal for recording commercials. It's been a long time since this has happened, and tomorrow, I may not be able to speak at all. I flew airplanes when my voice was completely gone and discovered that whispering into a microphone was as clear as voice. All ...
Should a Man In His 80s Be Up On a Ladder With a Chainsaw?

Old age slows all of us. Thirty years ago, I routinely went up a ladder with my arms full of building materials as though it were a stairway. I can't do that anymore. I recognize that ladders are probably the most dangerous things most of us have around the house, and, combined with chainsaws, the danger is probably doubled,but that doesn't mean I don't use either one, singly or in combination ...
My Flood Control Flume Finally Finished, but Will It Work?
Переглядів 1,6 тис.5 місяців тому
I thought I'd finished and published this final installment of the flume project weeks ago. Some water has always seeped into our basement during heavy, sustained rain. There is a seasonal spring under the floor that we discovered before the floor was poured some years ago and laid drain pipe under the footing to carry that water outside. This winter, that spring flow more than filled the pipe ...

It wasn't the first time water has come into the basement after sustained, heavy rain, but this was more water from more places after less rain than in past years. Where was all the extra water coming from? A seasonal creek that flows down the mountain and is piped under the driveway a few yards from the house is different this year. When the rain-fed springs that feed the creek came to life th...

Basement Flood Day 4

Rain continues. The problem is not surface water entering the basement and the crawl space. It's ephemeral springs that pop up in different places and in great profusion when prolonged rain comes to our little patch of heaven. Trying to plug them all is playing whack-a-mole.

Flooded Again, Days Two and Three

It was with trepidation that I went to the basement the day after my basement shop flooded. Rain had eased, but water still flowed from the spring that erupts under my shop floor during heavy rain. Day Two was promising. Day three brought more water from more places than ever before. Identifying sources that will have to be sealed was, to put it mildly, challenging.

Laguna Revo 12/16 First Year Lathe Review
What a breath of fresh air, thank you for sharing it. I also appreciate the lack of 'modern language' that is so common these days and so difficult to understand. You prove that us oldies aren't a waste of space, and we can still get the job done.
Good video. I have a 37 year old Bachtold mower and a 1 year old Pro 26, 14.5hp DR. You’ll never convince me the Pro 26 is better than the old Bachtold, even with no brakes and no reverse.
I had both break on my 02 the other day. The front one was still holding the tank up, and I put a strap around it to get home. Waiting on the new ones.
👍 I like the craftsmanship and the effort you put into everything you do Thank you very much.
Hard to explain the satisfaction derived from viewing to the last frame. Anyone wanting to "escape" for 30 minutes, this is the video. I was (briefly) thinking you were going to build that door while on the hinges; a piece at a time! I was slightly disappointed when you took the partial frame down to finish it (haha).
One thing is always true no matter what: you can never have too many clamps.
well done
Thank you.
I love it! Always great to see your projects! Our Oregon trip this year is going to be soon, we will go to Astoria, then travel down the coast toward Tillamook. How is your dory holding up for you?
No problems, no issues. Well, one problem. I don't get it out on the water often enough.
Lookin forward to see you out on the water soon!@@OregonOldTimer
Great project to accomplish before the weather gets nasty. And this winter you will have a nice dry place to work on projects. Did I hear you mention a boat? New crabbing skiff? Door two coming up I hope!
Considering a remake of the sailing dinghy I build for my grandsons many years ago, but lapstrake as designed, not plywood.
👍👍👍 it's coming along 😎☕
Hey Eric, mighty fine door you assembled there. I was wondering if you might have considered a barn door configuration? Anyway really enjoy you getting things done around your place. Thanks much for sharing!
I considered several styles, but this is the only configuration I could come up with to conform to land slope and roof line yet allow full-width access, just in case I build a boat in there.
Now that is a classy door:!
Wait 'til you see the next one.
Eric, your video work is great. Lots of editing!
I spend way too much time editing, I think, so it's nice that the time and effort is appreciated.
You are such an inspiration😅 Gives us somewhat younger folks hope! Keep going 😊
Things like this are easier when you're younger.
wow lap joints are you building a clock?😊
Just trying to keep it simple.
man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man man
you were right I still call them and doors😮
The work on the boat is never "done". 😉👍
True.
I watched your fishing and crabbing videos and am intrigued with your boat! 🙂 She's lovely. What's her history and make, do you know? Or did you perhaps even build her yourself? Length? 18(?) Love the flat bottom and dagger/center board set up. I've had several flat bottom wooden boats with centerboards and loved them all. 👍👍👍
Here is the link to my building the late Jeff Spira's "Tillamook" dory. ua-cam.com/video/4zZbsgFyyI4/v-deo.html I've not seen daggerboards in any boats other than sailboats. I didn't think I could be the only person who thought of it.
That was a great balancing act.
Have you considered using a segmented belt? That would allow you to make a belt of the correct length while mitigating vibration.
I sold that lathe two years ago, so it's somebody else's problem now. But, no, I hadn't considered the belt you describe. I didn't know such a thing existed.
Just watching you on your knees made mine hurt! I built a 20" platform to raise my mill up so i dont have to bend over much to remove my lumber. I have a small excavator to load logs so i dont need a ramp to roll logs up to get them on the mill. Its about the same height as the trailer frame so it gives me lots of room under for the clamps to hang down.
Mill height is a trade-off, all right. If I had a tractor to lift logs, putting the mill higher would be better. If I milled only small logs, loading onto a raised mill by hand would be doable. But by having the mill on the ground, my back gets plenty of exercise.
Your wooden boat with a dagger is good in rough water..watching from the Philippines
I don't go out in really rough conditions, but I've never been fearful or even concerned crossing the Tillamook bar and fishing in the ocean.
Man, that opening was like the start of a horror movie. Had me hooked though! Great video and great storytelling. I got a brush mower pro 26
That's one movie I'd like to forget. Sold the thing for $100 and was glad to see it gone.
Cool looking boat!
Thank you. Building it was satisfying.
Nice work!
Coming from you, that's a real compliment!
Eric, is someone doing your camera work?(besides you)
Nope, just me. That's why filming almost doubles time needed to get a job done.
Very good job .
Thank you, Frank.
Looks very nice.
Thank you.
Good light, and good air are more important than what is underfoot. Looking good there, Eric!
I have to have plenty of outside light. No power except a generator.
Looks a whole lot better than I thought it was going to, looks real good 👍👍👍😎☕
I surprised myself with the appearance, too.
The windows makes the job look great.
I think so, too. Better than I expected.
Looking good! “Getter done “
Thank you.
HooRah!
Doors are next. That may sound boring, but, they won't be normal doors. I'll be making them up as I go along, of course.
Those should keep the weather outside where it belongs. I saw the strap to hold them shut...is there a stick to prop them open?
Two straps on each window, Paul. A two-foot stick, notched at both ends, for each window. Works fine.
Looking just like the outside of my house! Only mine has stain on the boards.
That's a luxury I can do without on this.
well done
Thank you.
Thank You. And that was codger not cougar! I hate the spell corrections!
Gotta keep an eye on the robots, Robert. They're out to get us.
👍👍👍😎☕
May I suggest you purchase a couple of Rigid brand saw horses with a 2x4 top piece. You make my back hurt watching you bend over to pick everything up😂
I regard bending over and picking things up as a free version of what others pay gyms for. When I was 15, I was a scrawny pin boy in a bowling alley. After one busy league night, I calculated I'd picked up 19 tons of pins and balls from floor level to waist height. I couldn't believe it. Showed my calculations to the boss. He looked them over and said I may have figured it too light. A few years later, a doctor remarked on the musculature of my back. I told him of my early job. Ah, he said.
Good job as normal. Glad to see you doing more videos
I'm getting older and slower. With two channels to feed, I keep busy, and I'm forcing myself to be less perfectionist in editing. More to come.
Ha! I'm an ole cougar myself and I knew there was a better clamp. I called and talked to Woodland (and I do like them a lot) but they said no. I was about to order anyway and and suss it out but your video sealed the deal for sure. Had there been any issues? I am new at this and having fun building my shed as first project. Thanks for your knowledge ....for what use is it without sharing?! (retired teacher)
The only negative to this installation is, the size of the log or cant I can use it on is less than with the standard clamps. However, one viewer suggest that, if I'd mounted it UNDER the track, I'd have more travel. I use the cam clamp all the time and seldom need to also use the screw clamps.
Ahh, sacrificial log or in this case board supports for better clamping and support...you are a tricky Old Timer! 😁
I learn from others, Paul, though I do sometimes have an inspired thought.
I mean right, he asked why I called his last video motivation. East texas is no joke this time of the year. Ha
I got warm here today, too. It got up to 72 and we opened windows to let the heat in.
I Like seeing an "old man" pound nails! LOL Gives me Hope! Been 90+ degrees here for a week and o relief in sight. Last rain was May 27 and that was 1/4 inch. Garden getting baked. Have to water evey 3-4 days now..
A friend in Virginia is watering every other day, and the heat dome is just arriving there. We haven't had to water anything yet. Happy in Hebo, Oregon, that is.
Crazy! I have the same tool belt. 35+ years old. Worn almost out!! Best belt ever. I have about three new ones that have been given to me as replacement gifts. (Have no idea where they’re at). I also just got a Woodland Mills 130 Max, with the power head option, delivered!!
Keep it inside where the birds aren't.
Let the ends rot! Probably won’t be your fix in the future anyway.
Yeah, I know. Don't need a 35-year roof, and lifetime memberships are no longer economical.
WOW!! What a cooler full of nice crabs. You are good sportsmen always throwing the females back insures crabs for the future. The best of luck for future crabbing trips. Take care and be careful from the mountains of East Tennessee.
It's not just good sportsmanship, Jake. It's the law regarding Dungeness crabs.
👍👍👍Keeps me interesting it did not seem like 10 minutes 😎☕
Glad you're still with me, David.
well done
Thanks.
