    A quick way of cleaning dirty threads, is to get a long piece of rope or string, doubling it or tripling the string as necessary to fill the thread. Then spray the string with light oil, and make a couple of wraps on the thread just beside the nut. Screw the thread into the nut, and the string will clean all the loose debris out of the threads. This also works great for cleaning the screw advance on a lathe before doing any threading.
    I would love to have that 57 Chevy cab forward truck pictured at the beginning of the video. I already own a 55 Chev Cameo pickup, but you can't have too many old Chevy trucks.
    Interesting video, as usual.

    Make a giant bolt head or nut and mount it to the wall or a post, then put the wrench on the bolt head (or nut) and hang a sign for your channel from the extended handle. Great channel advert! I have really enjoyed these scrapyard find videos, liked!

    Some great finds. I must say you have much more restraint than I do. Every time you go to the scrapyard I'm saying to myself "grab that! Grab that!" I would have taken that whole grocery wrapping machine and tried to make a 3D printer out of it. I hate to see tools in the piles. Like you, if I see them I save them.

    " I can't help myself" oh I have said those words so many times. The drill which Frankensteined itself into a power saw was pretty interesting, I'd like to see the other tools related to that. I almost skipped on this video glad I didn't. Keep broadcasting!!

  • @emmah6045
    @emmah6045 5 років тому

    The saw that attaches to a drill is really useful, especially as a small table saw. . My brother wanted to make some dacron sails for his boat, but the sewing machine motor was not very strong, so he used a heavy drill as the motor, and it worked very well.

    This is just to suggest bringing along a pocket radiation detector or at least a dosimeter when sorting through the scrapyards - as you are aware sometimes things can look perfectly good to the eye and pass the sniff test but still spewing neutrons or gamma/alpha or beta rays 24/7/365..there are junkyards in the East full of such equipment.

  • @matttradie1341

    Cotton twine or similar type string works well for cleaning threads such as lead screws on lathes, but you need to be careful on lead screws not to get tangled or u can lose a finger.

  • @jafinch78
    @jafinch78 3 роки тому

    Nice finds as usual. The C clamp has me thinking using for other purposes with the lead screw basically. Somewhat like the inspired linear actuators that I've acquired two Mercedes Benz wiper motors and the larger jacks (210 583 01) all $10 ea. for what I planned to be used for the garden tractor front end loader electronic actuated/controlled model that's a Ford YT16 SVT custom I'm restoring and upgrading to make more heavy duty multifunction utility. There was a period I wanted to make an old buzz box as the grill and a dedicated generator engine welder yard tractor... thinking that will be another platform for that use though still with the intention to fit in the back of the pickup.

  • @LunarHermit

    I love watching you restore and repurpose stuff from the scrap yard! It inspires me to do similar stuff myself. I really want to build a silent air compressor; I already have an old AC compressor, I'm just waiting for a good tank to come my way. Keep up the good work!

      The rules for recycling are: 1.Re-use 2.Re-cycle 3.Replace - So, re-using/re-purposing is the first priority as it retains the energy and effort invested into the item in the first place.

    Creepy recording but the truth is much stranger than fiction. I’m all about repurposing just about anything I’m able to get my hands on so I’m with ya brother. Sooner or later this “throw away” world thought process is going to catch up to us. ALWAYS reuse what you can in another way shape or form. I envy the scrapyards you’re allowed access into, stateside in Massachusetts they’ve pretty much shut us down from free range scouring on our own due to worry over injury. Only a few car scrapyards where you pull your own parts allow us access which is nice because I refuse to pay someone else to do work I can do. Ok, enjoy your day and thanks for sharing...
