    I normally don't like music added to these restoration videos but this simple quiet guitar is really nice. Took until 2 minutes into the vid for me to subscribe 👍

      Thanks! I was running my CNC router (which is loud) while filming a few spots so I had to mute a bunch of clips. I thought the low music would kind of even everything out.

    Amazing :) this company is still in production today making this same can (still 0.5L and 1.0L). The yellow paint on the handle and the 76 would mean used in construction, the old "Hey Arty, grab your helmet and sign out a gas can, be sure to fill up your chain saw start of shift no loafing around". Building construction or city workers, rail etc would have been the likely users of this one :)

      That's kind of what I figured that 76 was for. It reminds me of checking out a tool kit from the tool crib in auto shop back in high school.

    Perhaps old timey chainsaws or mowers??
    Perhaps as a primer for old timey engines?? Just guessing. 🤷‍♂️

    Justrite also made Petrol/Gasoline pressure lanterns and pressure table lamps, so that can may have been for the lanterns.
    Justrite lamps and lanterns can be viewed on the Classic pressure lamps forum.

    The gas can turned out great. I am thinking it probably was for "kerosene" for hurricane lamps. It would have been a nicer touch, if the bushing was out of brass instead of plastic. Either way great job. Definitely came out nice

    We had these cans on our workbenches at a printing company I worked at. We kept acetone in them. Restore your oil can next. Is it a can from Dutton Lansing, Golden Rod?

    • @Fix-N-Stuff
      @Fix-N-Stuff  15 годин тому

      This is what I had imagined they were often used for. I repaired the plunger and bumped out a few dents on that oil can some years ago. I'll have to see who makes that one.

    Add a couple flat spots to that adapter so you can get a wrench on it instead of cranking on the brass schrader valve to tighten it and I think you're all set.

    • @Fix-N-Stuff
      @Fix-N-Stuff  День тому

      This was my original plan, but it was pretty easy to tighten by hand. Being a one off tool I just didn't find it necessary in the end.

      Loads of spare time? Not around here 😅🤣. These kinds of projects are a bit of fun for me. I know what I might use it for, but I'm curious what it was originally promoted to be used as. Thanks for watching!

    No idea who'd want to use one, good resto job though. But please leave out that Chinese Torture music loop next time, I had to watch without sound.

    • @Fix-N-Stuff
      @Fix-N-Stuff  День тому

      Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I had a lot of shots where I had too much background noise and had to mute sections. I thought the background music might even things out a bit.

      @@Fix-N-Stuff Thing about music tracks, they make videos into Music Videos rather than anything else. Even soundless asmr is just a music video (only a billion times more annoying leading to murderous rage). And without dialog the sound is more elevator than pleasant. Music can augment a video, but shouldn't dominate one unless your intention is to make a music video. Then you would title "listen to my music track ..." rather than "watch what I do ..."

      @baritonfelix after 4 kids, what music? You learn to filter out noises very quickly.
      Personally I didn’t find the music annoying in the slightest.
      If I do have a problem with the music, I use the volume control.
