Man it's never about the quantity of the crew. It's about the quality of the crew. It's cool to know how to build one of those and that it doesn't seem that hard with practice and patience. I would rather watch it being done at a slower pace because it may take longer but the retention rate is much higher and it feels like one on one instruction. Never sell yourself short. This is absolutely entertaining.
Man thank you! Makes my day knowing this is entertaining. That’s what I’m hoping for, but I watch rack one about 10 times before I post it, and I guess it’s hard watching yourself, but I’m never quite happy with it, but I go for it anyway. Thank you sooo much! We’re gonna keep it up! Have a great day!!!
Shane, throwing out a tip. At 25.58 in this video, use a line up punch and vice grips when you're trying to run a bolt through several pieces of tower. Much easier. :-)
Interesting! Grandpa had a wind mill above his hand dug well off his side room - laundry/2 iron butcher plate stoves when I was born in 1942. The now metal brake handle was wood, Grandma would struggle to pull it down then slip the a metal ring up so nothing turned. Water could be routed into the house or to a sistern for the farm buildings. The vertical was attached to a gear tooth rack pump, the handle would slide sideways disengaging it's toothed arc. Water by the bucket could be pumped by hand. There is a grist mill in New Park, Pa that has an Air-Motor that provides only rotary motion, no capability for vertical travel. Against my NO recommendations in 1980 I fitted helical gears in a butchered Air-Motor for a rotary conversion to power a generator. A tool and die engineer, I was able salvage the castings it's owner had gutted for the gearing. Mechanical it functioned until wind gusts would bend the long drive shaft ! He wanted the generator on the ground and wouldn't fit mid point bearings around the driveshaft.
Man those were the good days weren’t they! We love the nostalgia it brings people to. We also like that they still serve a purpose. Not as much as they used to, but still are amazing as ever! I’m love seeing the way people used to use them for the old house and barns. Man thank you for commenting and watching!!!! Please stick around!
