    It's new equipment day at the cave! Adam tests and upgrades a new piece of equipment he picked up based on watching some of his favorite UA-cam channels that feature old machine restoration. It's a benchtop cabinet parts washer that Adam can safely use to cycle degreaser through old hardware and antique parts. And not to be content with the parts washer out of the box, Adam makes several upgrades to improve its versatility and mobility around the workshop!

    A word of caution: Face Shield (two words). I have tasted things humans are not supposed to taste and have probably dissolved some skin vigorously washing parts by underestimating the chaotic nature of fluid dynamics. Fortunately I wear glasses, so I was spared potential blindness. Be safe, my friends!

      Oh, and if it's something you really don't want on your clothes, definitely a lab coat is a good thing to have. I use one whenever I'm doing dyework because, even though the dye I use is perfectly harmless in terms of actually damaging your skin or clothes or anything, it stains real heavily (as it should).

  • @Stunturtle929
    @Stunturtle929 3 роки тому

    I know for a fact I have seen pre rusted items because I have rust blued a few firearms. The process literally requires the stripped firearm to be rubbed in a solution which greatly accelerates rust formation and then boiled in water to convert the rust into a deep blue. Those fake rusted items would have been pitted if they were actually their age, whereas if you catch the newly formed rust fast enough like those fake vids then you simply sand and polish away to leave a great finish. You can tell just by the color of their rust that it was formed extremely recently and is only on the very surface of the metal.

    Best way to take golves off is to just roll them inside out. That way the sweaty inside dries out before next time you put them back on. To put them back on, half roll the glove right side out, then use the air compressor to blow it up like a balloon to get the fingers back the right way, then you put it on. You can blow them up with your mouth too, but then you have to blow the warm humid air out before you actually put them back on, otherwise they feel gross

    convert a smaller one to go on your lathe, so and have it so the pipe comes up round the back, in the bottom place some rare earth magnets to collect chips. then you have a cleaning fluid pipe. Set the drain to go back into the tub. So you have one coolant pipe, but also a cleaning pipe so using the lathe to learn is an option.

      Strange, unlike media blasting I have never found any utility in parts washers. Seems like most grime requires a more aggressive scrubber and/or solvent, or could just wash off with soap & water. In a pro shop where you generate enough waste that you need to properly dispose of it, I get it. But for the home gamer, that's a lot of shelf space for a job you could do in a random bucket.

      Well, with rust that looks like that rust, either it's real, and then you have holes through them or it's fake, and has some minor pits on it. Most of those tonka truck channels are fake rust. Take a piece of rusty iron, dip it, and reverse the electric process most use to clean rust off, and you'll get a genuine looking rusted tonka truck, that's rapidly made.

  • @cowcar87

    Adam, as a former vintage scooter mechanic, I used a parts washer regularly. One modification we had on our parts washer was and shut-off valve inline with the flow through brush that proved very useful. Not so much for it's on/off functionality, but more for adjusting flow rate. This comes in handy when trying to clean small parts and prevents too much flow from stripping the part out of your already slippery hands. Another tip is to keep a set of cheap nylon/brass/steel bristle brushes in the tank as well. Perhaps with magnets on them to keep them attached to the sides of the tub and off of the work surface. Thanks for making this video. I didn't even know smaller, portable benchtop cleaners were available. I may have to pick one up for my home garage.

    • @TheReal1953
      @TheReal1953 8 місяців тому +1

      You are dead-heading the pump that way if you shut the valve completely. If you can't get flow through the pump, it won't cool properly. You probably had a big industrial machine and it might not have affected its pump. In these small, cheaper pump units I think a shut-off inline valve might be problematic. If you didn't fully close the valve, maybe you'd be OK.....but have to be mindful of that.

      I never did get the restoration genre - if I wanted to watch someone scrub down rusty tools, I might as well go to the garage and watch myself do it and actually accomplish something in the process. Every restoration is like the last, strip the old paint and dirt off, dunk it in the definitely sponsored 55 gal drum of evap-o-rust, paint, reassemble. Ok, that's nice, but it's fairly obvious how to do all of those steps. I'm not learning anything.
