@@DIYGene I've been having a series of health issues the past 2 years and I am finding it far worse than merely frustrating always dropping things, etc. We continue watching because you're easy to listen to and provide quality content.
I have to admit, when you were finishing assembling and placing the gears, the gears look so good that I forgot they are not made of metal. This is amazing. 👍
Hello again Raptor Nerd, Good to hear from you. This was a fun project and I kinda had an idea but really designed it as I built it. Thanks again for watching.
Hi Gene! I don't know how I missed this video, when you posted it. I'm glad I found it, this morning. The crusher looks so much better with your special touches. The gears look so realistic. Nice work! I'm glad the cbd oil is helping. I've suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for years and it got to the point where none of the medications doctors prescribed would help. One doctor suggested I get a medical marijuana card and try it. I was reluctant, at first, because I've never been into drugs, but I was at my wits end. So I tried it and it has helped immensely. I do it mostly at night, before bed. I used to wake up, sometimes 4 or 5 times a night in pain, but now I sleep straight through the entire night. I also recently have found that certain foods, chemical additives, and dyes in foods can trigger auto immune and neurological symptoms in some people. I began a carnivore diet, eating only meat and what a difference! I'm slowly reintroducing vegetables, one at a time, to see how my body reacts. I believe that I've narrowed it down to products made from wheat, but I still have some more experimenting to do. I don't know if maybe something in your diet could be triggering the tremors, but I wanted to let you know, in case it could help you. There's a doctor Shawn Baker, that has a UA-cam channel, where he talks about all the diseases he's helped people with. Sorry for being so long winded. I don't tell many people about me using marijuana, but if it could help you, it's worth putting my personal life out there. I'll be keeping you in my prayers. 🙏 🙂
Oh my word! I swear we must be brothers from a different mother! LOL. I am going through some similar things. My wife has me on a Keto diet that is pretty much meat and vegetables. “ when she said I could have all the bacon I want, I was sold”. But we are talking about an all carnivore diet as well. I have been thinking about the medical marijuana too. The drugs that where prescribed for me had side affects that are worse than the tremors. Plus I just don’t like taking that stuff. I agree about the diet. All the process foods out there is slowly killing us. I am thankful that my wife studies nutrition and has really been a big help. How do you take the hemp? I glad it is helping and so glad you reached out. You and your family are also in my prayers. Thanks again, Gene
@@DIYGene Wow! We do have a lot in common. Like brothers from another mother! I would like to take the marijuana in pill form, but it's so expensive. I don't like smoking it, but it's what I do, because of the cost. I can be so tense from the pain and stiffness of the arthritis and I'll get almost instant relief, when I smoke just a little. I'm hoping they legalize edibles, like gummy bears with thc in them. It would be so much easier for me. It's great that your wife researches and helps you. The diet has changed my life. I've started exercising and I'm more active. I want to get back into guitar building and maybe some small projects around the house. Good luck with everything and take care!🙂
@@DIYGene There was another thought i had. I was just thinking about something you said. The side effects of the meds. That's what made me decide to use the marijuana. It seems like every medication the doctors prescribed, gave me side effects. The one pain medication even increased the swelling my joints! And one arthritis medication had me laid out on the kitchen floor and I couldn't get up without my wife's help. It was horrible. I've never heard about any bad side effects from marijuana, other than getting the munchies and eating a whole bag of potato chips!😂
@@74dartman13 ; Suffering from the same thing as you. I’ve never been into drugs or alcohol. A few years back my doctor prescribed those marijuana pills and like you said they’re to expensive. I am from a generation that is not okay with it. I started to smoke it and my dad that is 88 years old disowned me….I’m heartbroken. Our whole family was close and now I’m considered a drug addict. I just wish there was a cure. But I read what you said about wheat…my mom was heavy into macrobiotic diet when I was younger and by my preteen years she switched to vegan…I was Vegan up into my 30’s and when my mom passed away at 49 I just started eating other foods. My mom was very witty…she would say things like if it has eyes and a anus don’t eat it! Or that Sh*t will kill you. I do believe that the processed foods are what is causing so many ailments and it’s hard because when you walk into the store your surrounded by all the empty nutrients. As far back as I can remember when I would go to the store with my mom she would have me read labels on products; she would say if you can’t understand the word in the labels it’s no good. Your comment hit home with me.
This is so cool. All of the steampunk upgrades you do are awesome. *That cbd oil seemed to help. 👍 I had found some other videos first and was going to suggest you try CBD to see if it helps.
Thank you and yes the CBD oil helps some. But I’m still looking for the answer. I have been invited to participate in a medical study to try Botox. We will see. Thanks so much for watching.
Thanks Deb, this was a fun project. I had a rough idea but for the most part,I kinda made it up as I went along. As always, thank you so much for watching the channel.
I haven't looked at all the comments but if you put the glue on one piece and spray the activator on where you are going to place the glued piece it will work better than spraying the activator on the glue itself. I like how your steam punk art turned out. My wife has essential tremor too.
We had one of those can crushers when we were kids. I like all your videos! I’ve been watching your vids for quite a while and I’m in the middle of painting my shop around the garage doors to look like wood planks.. I am so close to finishing! I bought some of the supplies for the next project which is your steampunk garage doors. By the way I have bad hands and my doctor recommended cbd cream…I don’t like getting cortisone shots, but my wrists and hands swell from doing just about anything so it takes a little longer to complete whatever I’m working on…. They are coming up with great products to alleviate pain but I hope someday they come up with a cure for conditions like what we suffer from. I tend to overdue it just to try and complete a project and suffer for a week or two afterwards. But I get real excited when it’s completed! You are a big inspiration to me! Thank You!
Thank you so much. I am still looking for relief from the tremors. The CBD oil helps a little. I have completely stopped drinking coffee. (I love coffee) and am trying to eat all natural foods. But I still have them. I have been told they are starting to use Botox injections so I will be looking into that. Does the CBD cream work well? I’m so happy you are able to find some of the videos useful. I would love to see how your project turns out. Thanks again for watching. By the way. Did you find the sander you where looking for?
I was searching for steampunk projects to do and UA-cam got me here, and guess what, I inherited family essential tremors too, I have to see about CBD oil... I'm from Monterrey Mexico, your projects are super cool 👍🏻I just subscribed to your channel, stay well!
You did an amazing job on this DIY with those gears. Awesomely done my friend, so realistic! Now that CBD...you need to try some vape stuff. Appears as though its a nerve thing and when you put pressure on your hands like using the muscles in them to put pressure on squeezing some glue or whatever. I might suggest a keto or even Carnivore diet and see how you do that but I am sure some vegan somewhere (maybe even yourself) might not appreciate me LOL but the CBD oils I've tried were ineffective and the vape stuff can contain more of what really is what helps you relax and your muscles and nerves benefit. Thanks for another great DIY Gene!
I have what is called Essential Tremors and I wont take the prescribed meds because the side affects are worse than the tremors. The CBD oil really hasn't done much. Short of surgery I am willing to try anything LOL. Funny you mentioned Keto, I am doing that right now so I will let you know how that turns out. Thanks for the kind words and thanks so much for watching all my videos.
@@DIYGene I caught that early on in the video. Your honesty about the product you were given to try is also appreciated. I had done Keto for about 5 years and then was more carnivore before my mom got diagnosed with illness and I use it as an excuse but I fell out the wagon hard. Notice I didn't say fall off...sorry my sick humor makes me feel better bout that fact, however for health reason I am trying to get myself back to that way of life. It was amazing for so many things as I had experienced and that good feeling I didn't have otherwise is what kept me going and even when I would fall off and eat some garbage I would get right back into ketosis by making my next meal keto. I feel I have severe arthritis in my hands. knees and hips. But a bit more than a year ago I was at least 30 lbs lighter if not more and I didn't hurt all over. Anyway I love your style, the videos you have here on your channel are right in line with things I collect. I happen to have a real 1930's Railroad Telephone that looks a bit like the one you made from scratch you made a hidden cell phone charger from. That awesome steampunk fridge video you have is how I found you and I thought cool I might try that look with these shadow "risers" I've been thinking about making to house each of my 4 guitars I have collected. Then I see you have guitars also and you just so happened to have made those mounts to replace the crap ones you had yours hanging from. I'm hooked! So thanks so much for putting out such awesome content! Not sure if you do your editing but you really have a great HGTV or better worthy presence.
@@LosingDrea, Its been a bit of an inconvenience, but I'm getting by. I notice you have a really good channel with some great content on it. I will be checking out some of your videos. I am wondering why you have not posted on it in about a year?
@@DIYGene Like I said y mom was diagnosed with an illness and the ongoing treatments, and me being the only wage earner, etc.. but the main reason is I didn't have good enough internet to be able to upload content anyway.Now I have moved I am hoping to get back to it. It was the best tool for weight loss for me and when I stopped doing videos I stopped being accountable, got complacent and this is why I am going to have to get through the initial struggle again to get back on track.
@@LosingDrea, I know it’s hard to get back once you “fall out of the wagon “ LOL. I’m sure you can get back and I hope you mom is doing better. My mom has been very I’ll too and I am spending a lot of time flying back and forth to Phoenix. It’s hard to maintain a regular life sometimes.
Sorry if you have discussed this before but I'm new to your channel. I was wondering what was causing your hand tremors? Is it Parkinson's or is it those had shakes that doctors have no explanation for? My step dad has the latter and I was wondering if CBD might help him also. By the way I'm loving all your projects so far.
Yes, they call it Essential Tremors. And you are right they really don’t have a good explanation for it. I’m just thankful it’s not Parkinson’s. The CBD helps some but it costs about $100 x for a little tiny bottle. Thanks so much for for watching.
@@DIYGene Wow that's a lot but thank god it's not Parkinson's. Thanks for the info and I'll see if I can convince my step dad to try some CBD and see if it helps. Sorry you have to deal with those. I know it makes your projects more difficult but you still manage to do awesome work.
I had a former business partner that was diagnosed with ( involuntary tremors) the fillings are toxic but medical community won't come out and say it . I imagine it would be the largest class action suit in history
Where did you get this idea? I love your videos, You're pretty ingenious / artistique. I have ET as well. I used Propranolol. Side physical effects can be brutal for the first 3 months(vertigo, tiredness, weight gain) it also change your brain chemistry, which also takes time to manage. It was a though decision to make but it has reduced tremors by 50% - 80%. depending on the day. It looks like CBD had some positive effects on you . In the past year I tried micro dosage of mushrooms. You should research that. I don't use that often but I find it helps (also for clarity, PTSD etc...) good luck and continue what you're doing!
Paul, Thanks so much. This idea kinda came as I went along. It was fun making this one without a real plan. I’m sorry you suffer from ET too but it is nice to talk with someone with the same affliction. I also tried Propranolol and hated it. I felt listless and even depressed. I told the doc I would rather have tremors. So I am looking for a more natural remedy. The CBD oil might not be the answer but I think I helps some and I don’t feel any side effects. You said after about 3 months your body adapted to the drug? Maybe I didn’t give it a good enough chance. But I just wasn’t me. Thank you again for the comment and for watching. Please keep in touch and let me know how you are doing. Gene
The hand tremors practically stopped 👌👍
Hello Shane! It didn't stop the tremors completely, but it definitely helped. As aways, thanks again for watching.
@@DIYGene thank you, great build as always. Stay safe buddy
The gracefulness you show despite your physical condition with the tremors is truly humbling to behold
Thank you so much. But I am the humble one that folks still watch. Thank you again

Nice finished product. And thanks for sharing about your tremors. Appreciate that might have been tough.
