    Adam, congratulations on your new adventure in life. It's always nice to see someone follow their dream in life, you deserve every bit of it.
    I was waiting to see how you would unload the heavy chunk of steel you picked up at your brothers work place. Curious if that magnet you use to pick up steel with was going to lift that chunk of steel. You've got a really nice heavy duty hand truck, I'm a retired truck driver, I used a hand truck similar to that one in my job, it was made by American Pulley Co., I used it to moved some pretty heavy things.
    Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Always a pleasure to watch.

    Couple things Adam, first your mom looks awesome. I've always thought it is the sign of a mature grown man when he proudly introduces you to his mother! Proud to say mine is 90, and my wife and I live adjacent to her house so that she can remain in her home.
    Regarding your storage shed, I recently did the same thing and I picked up couple of those heavy duty shelf units at the Home Depot, the ones that are all welded, there's no hardware, you just knock them together, and they can hold several tons, then put that treated plywood over the metal shelving, they're easy and fast to put up, or take down if I move some day, and it seems like they were under $200 ea. for the standard height. And they don't sag over time like wood, plus the insects don't like them.
    Lastly on the argon welding helper, thanks for showing the 4 flute endmill and why people use two or three flute mills. Excellent unintentional demonstration. Lastly thanks for clearly demonstrating the virtues of Helicoils and the right way to install them. I now feel totally confident in using them Scott.

    Total liberation, Adam... When you spend years working the 9-5 stuck inside a building and forced to do errands on weekends with everyone else, getting out on a weekday when everyone else is working and places are empty feels like total liberation.

I can't believe the way they go after just you because you use what's given to you by the gov. The fact that you used the landfill to dispose of what's left is about the best step can take, my .02¢. Anyhow, loved the vlog and look forward to many more to come.

My great grandpa build a coupe like that he used moving furnaces and air conditioning units and everything else for his wholesale hvac business. I was the 4the generation of that business up until we sold it in 2007. They were old and heavy, but by far the best rolling most solid hand trucks we ever had...and we had many dozens over the years. Amazing to think about when I see some of this stuff. So cool.

    That Starrett 204 also seems to have a lot of clearance around the anvil.

It was ground down almost exactly like that to fit a specific measurement he said he had to do regularly. It's still accurate enough for the work I do, I hit several of my gage blocks all right on so I kept it in case I need to get into a tight spot to measure something.

    Got that shed ready for big wind, won't blow away now! BTW: I like the fairly long videos, compiling a how-to with segments is very cool for reference. Hi Mom!

    Adam, you might want to get those vises and that shaper table up off the concrete and onto some wood. The concrete can wick moisture out of the soil beneath. Good luck going independent. See you at the Bar-Z. Jon

    You might try building some shelving on pallets that you can move around with your pallet jack. Another thing I have thought about is putting shelving on tracks. That way I can maximize storage, but if I need something I can move the shelves on the tracks to get access to it.
