Now this is the kind of content I like to see. Honestly I really do enjoy these random funny videos. Also I'd be funny if you made your trailer into a boat so you just back the trailer into the water and then just drive away on the trailer. I'd be even funnier if you had a stupidly powerful engine on and and the couch because couch. And a lamp. Idk why but lamp.
Here’s an idea. Craigslist/marketplace competition for who can get the best set of wheels and customize it for a budget (literally anything from a desk chair to a whole car), and then have a series of challenges to determine the winner
Bought a junker for 200, fixed it up for 200 and had it pass inspection. That tank got decent gas mileage. Was still the Era of iron frames, safer than anything. Lost an entire wheel on the highway, nothing was ruined and I safely and easily coasted to the breakdown lane. Took someone falling asleep at the wheel, and driving into it at breakneck speeds and sending both vehicles into my neighbors yard. Luckily everyone was okay. If it was for the bluebook value being so low, it still ran and drove, but no longer had its trunk. As that was pushed securely into the back seats. Still ran fine. Just not legal anymore. I would say less than 500 bucks for a car with a ton of more future in it was great. Now I have to spend that on a month for a car just to keep my job. By the way, thanks asshole.
@@youtubevanced1508 Literally not safe at all. If you crash in a steelframe car, you WILL get horribly f*cked up since there's no dispersal of energy between you, the car, and the car you hit. YOU get the full brunt of the damage as the car remains perfectly in tact and you go flying forward as all the energy is fully passed onto you.
I feel like they shouldn't know this, but there are spark machines that you can buy that are practically harmless, just imagine the weird stuff they would do with one.

In all seriousness having 2 round fire pits and a one long one actually serves a functional purpose. You can use the round ones for anything but you can use the long one to setup a spitroast or to line up bunch of ribs.
Of course ODS listens to Oliver Tree. A weirdly good YT Channel listens to a weirdly good Artist. If you don't know what I'm talking about he was singing "Cowboys Don't Cry" by "Oliver Tree" at 3:00

Well ya see there Reice in order to properly set the welding tool is to make sure you know the proper metal content of the items you're welding because that then determines your sweet spot so to speak of the temp and intensity of the arc. So when the sun is at 110° angle to the horizon you'll want to start on the top most setting and as the sun approaches the horizon you adjust the setting accordingly. Hope that was clear...
This video looks like its gonna tackle alotta different major scientific questions that have been eluding mankind since the dawn of time, truly I cannot wait.
I like how this double-functions as a way to harass your neighbors. Just put it down facing them, have a nice grilling night, and BAM, you've got an insult literally scorched into the ground. It will probably be there for years. Mission accomplished.
You should build an entire boat out of Legos and seal it with that wet seal stuff and make it engine that goes through the back and everything but a couch in there make sure it's boy enough and then go around the lake as far as you can with enough fuel or energy whatever you use for the motor that would be super cool
Buy eBay mystery boxes or Amazon return pallets and see what's in them! Buy the cheapest most sketchiest car on Facebook marketplace or craigslist then turn it into the ultimate summer cruiser. Cut the roof off, replace it with plexiglass. A banging stereo system and a chrome car wrap then.

How to Weld METHODS 1Staying Safe 2Preparing the Metal for Welding 3Using a stick welder Welding is the process of using electrical current to superheat and melt metal so that you can join two pieces of metal together. There are several ways to weld, but the two most popular ways to weld at home include gas metal arc welding, or MIG welding, and arc welding, otherwise known as stick welding. While welding can seem intimidating at first, it's actually fairly simple once you take the proper safety precautions and practice using your welding machine. Staying SafeDownload Article Image titled Weld Step 01 1 Purchase a welding helmet. The sparks and light that welding gives off is extremely bright and can harm your eyes. There’s also the possibility of metal debris or sparks flying into your face. Purchase an auto-darkening welding helmet online or at a hardware store to protect your eyes and face from the sparks and heat generated from the welding machine.[1] AD Image titled Weld Step 02 2 Get heavy duty welding gloves. Purchase welding gloves online or at a hardware store. Welding gloves are typically made of cow or pig hide and will protect your hands from electrical shock, heat, and radiation. Always wear gloves when welding something.[2] AD Image titled Weld Step 03 3 Wear a leather apron. An apron will prevent sparks from the welding machine from making contact with your clothes or potentially burning you. Get a durable, non-flammable apron online or at a hardware store.[3] Image titled Weld Step 04 4 Work in a well-ventilated area. The process of welding contaminates the air with vapors and gases that are hazardous to inhale. You’ll want to work in an open space with open windows or doors while you weld.[4] Never weld galvanized steel as it produces dangerous gas. AD 5 Inspect your welder before beginning. Look at all the wires, hoses, and connections on your welder. Replace any damaged or worn components before using the welder. Some welders require calibration at regular intervals. Always be sure that the calibration is up to date; there is no grace period. AD ADVERTISEMENT Get started with Betterhelp Affordable, private therapy. Anytime, anywhere. Betterhelp will match you to one of 20,000 licensed therapists. Get feedback, advice and guidance from your therapist. Take the quiz Method 2 Preparing the Metal for WeldingDownload Article Image titled Weld Step 05 1 Scrape any paint and rust off the metal before welding. Use 80-grit sandpaper, a wire brush, or an angle grinder with a flap disc and go over the surface of the painted metal. You can purchase the sandpaper or wire brush or rent an angle grinder at a hardware store or online. Continue to grind off the paint and rust until your metal is metallic and shiny looking.[5] If you’re using an angle grinder, be careful not to distort thin metal. If you’re working with thick metal, bevel the edges with an angle grinder to ensure the weld can fully penetrate. Paint and rust will inhibit the electrical connection created by the welder, and can also cause the weld to have porosity in it, which is unwanted Image titled Weld Step 06 2 Wipe down the metal with acetone. Your metal must also be free of any dust, dirt, or debris because they can inhibit your ability to make good welds. Saturate a cloth in acetone and wipe it over the entire surface of the metal. The acetone should remove any contaminants that could mess with your ability to weld.[6] Image titled Weld Step 07 3 Dry the metal with a clean rag. Rub over the surface of the metal, making sure to remove any of the acetone that was left over from washing it. Let the metal fully dry before you start to weld. Method 3 Using an MIG WelderDownload Article Image titled Weld Step 08 1 Make sure that your MIG welder is set up properly. Make sure that your MIG welder has a wire on the spool. Look at the tip of the welding gun to make sure that it’s being properly fed up into the gun. Ensure that your shielding gas canisters are properly set up and that your welding machine is in proper working order.[7] Image titled Weld Step 09 2 Clamp your ground clamp to the table you're working on. Your MIG welder should have a grounding clamp that you need to clamp onto your table. This will prevent you from getting electrocuted if you end up touching your table.[8] AD Image titled Weld Step 10 3 Hold the welding gun with both hands. Rest one hand on the table that you’re welding on and use it to control the direction of the gun while you weld. Your other hand should be gripping the gun, with your index finger ready to press the trigger.[9] Remember to wear gloves when handling the welding machine. Image titled Weld Step 11 4 Position the tip of the welding gun on a 20-degree angle. Positioning the gun on a 20-degree angle against the piece of metal will help you penetrate into the metal as you weld. This is also commonly referred to as a push position.[10] AD Image titled Weld Step 12 5 Turn the welding machine on and press the trigger. Put your welding helmet down over your face and press the trigger on the gun. This should create a bright spark the end of your welding gun. Keep your face away from the weld so you don’t injure yourself or inhale any toxic fumes. Image titled Weld Step 13 6 Move the gun over the metal slowly to create the weld. Press the tip of the welding gun against the piece of metal. Sparks should start to be created by the welding gun. Leave the gun in a single spot for one or two seconds before you start moving it down your piece of metal.[11] Image titled Weld Step 14 7 Make tiny circles with your gun as you weld. Work your way down the metal, making tiny circles as you move the welding gun. As you move down your piece of metal, you'll start to see hot metal start to pool behind the tip of your welding gun. Once you’ve reached the end of your weld, let go of the trigger and turn off your welding machine. If you move the weld gun too slowly, you may create holes in your sheet of metal. If you move your weld gun too fast, you may not heat the metal hot enough to melt it and your weld will be very thin. Method 4 Using a Stick WelderDownload Article Image titled Weld Step 15 1 Set the welding machine to DC positive. The polarity on your machine will determine if you’re welding with an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC). The DC setting on your machine will have DC negative and DC positive. DC positive provides a large amount of penetration and is the setting that you should use if you're just starting out.[12] The AC setting is used when your power supply only has an AC output. DC negative results in less penetration and should be used on thin sheets of metal. Image titled Weld Step 16 2 Set the amperage on your stick welder. Take a look at the instructions or packaging of the "rod" or electrode that you plan on using for welding. They will have a recommended amperage on them depending on what material they are made of. Use the knob on your welding machine to set the machine to the amperage that it recommends on the electrode’s packaging.[13] If the rods provide an amperage range, split the difference. For instance, if the range is 100 to 150, use 125. The most common electrodes for steel include the 6010, 6011 and 6013. Image titled Weld Step 17 3 Ground your welding machine to the surface you're working on. Clean the surface first to ensure there will be a strong connection. Then, take your grounding clamp and apply it to the table that you're working on. This will prevent you from getting electrocuted while you weld. Image titled Weld Step 18 4 Place your rod inside of the welding gun. Some stick welders will have a clamp for their welding gun while others will have a more traditional looking welding gun. Place your rod into the tip of the welding gun and tighten the tip so that the rod stays in the gun. If you have clamps, put the welding rod in between the clamps and close them.[14] Image titled Weld Step 19 5 Hold your welding gun with two hands. Holding the gun with two hands will improve your precision and will help you weld straighter lines. Wrap your dominant hand over the top of the welding gun and use your other hand to support the welding gun from below.[15] Image titled Weld Step 20 6 Strike your rod against the metal. Tap the tip of the rod lightly onto the metal and sparks should start to form. The rod will act a lot like a match, and friction must be present before you can strike an arc. Once you see and hear sparks, you’ve successfully started your weld.[16] Image titled Weld Step 21 7 Make a straight line with the rod. Slowly move down the sheet of metal with your rod. As you go along in a line, the melting metal should form a pool behind your rod. This will be the same size as the weld. A proper weld or "bead" will be about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick. Image titled Weld Step 22 8 Touch the metal with the rod for 1-2 seconds to tack weld. If you lift the rod off of the metal, it will stop creating sparks. You can hold the rod onto a piece of metal for 1-2 seconds to quickly create a rounded tack weld. This is useful if you need to create quick welds on certain pieces of metal.[17] Image titled Weld Step 23 9 Break the slag off with a hammer. After you create your weld, metal will form over the weld like a shell. This material is called slag and is incredibly hot. Lightly tap the slag with a hammer until it comes off in sheets.[18] Don’t slam the slag with a hammer, or hot pieces of metal can come flying off of your weld. Image titled Weld Step 24 10 Clean off the slag with a wire brush. Use a wire brush and rub back and forth over the weld. Clean off the remaining slag and make sure there is no metal debris left on the weld

Make a straight line with the rod. Slowly move down the sheet of metal with your rod. As you go along in a line, the melting metal should form a pool behind your rod. This will be the same size as the weld. A proper weld or "bead" will be about 1⁄2 inch (1.3 cm) thick.

Touch the metal with the rod for 1-2 seconds to tack weld. If you lift the rod off of the metal, it will stop creating sparks. You can hold the rod onto a piece of metal for 1-2 seconds to quickly create a rounded tack weld. This is useful if you need to create quick welds on certain pieces of metal.[17]

Break the slag off with a hammer. After you create your weld, metal will form over the weld like a shell. This material is called slag and is incredibly hot. Lightly tap the slag with a hammer until it comes off in sheets.[18]
Don’t slam the slag with a hammer, or hot pieces of metal can come flying off of your weld.

Clean off the slag with a wire brush. Use a wire brush and rub back and forth over the weld. Clean off the remaining slag and make sure there is no metal debris left on the weld
