    Cap’n… those cans had to be Church Key opened… Pop tops didn’t come out until about 1975. If they are steel cans that would make them even older… pre 1970. Were they steel?

    I used to have only Dewalt tools and I have replaced all of them with Milwaukee, best move i ever made.

      The brand doesn't matter, it's the size. If it's. 1/4" impact, it's going to burn up driving 10" timberloks through oak over 500 times. It needs to be a bigger tool. 3/8 at the minimum.

    Mike that 3/4 sheet of particle board is very heavy and makes a good bench top. Back when I worked in a lumber yard in 1973, we sold a bunch of that stuff. I was 4 ft 6 inches tall and 96 lbs. trying to help load them into a truck. Not fun. They probably used the osb for covering because it was cheap at the time. Not so much now. Great content, keep it up.

    That green wall covering looks like ideal truck seat repair covering if you had a way to save it. I would add LED lighting to your mobile work bench on one or more corner posts and a hook to hang a long extension cord so you could have good light wherever you roll it. You can't have enough light above a work bench. You've probably already thrown out the material for a good tall work bench stool with a back. My father was a sheet metal worker and welder (I know you aren't but can fake it) and he made a couple and welded them up. I still have one at my work bench. One man's trash is another man's raw material. (that green stuff would be great to cover a seat) You just have to be inventive and innovative. You are that but we will give you ideas.

    I felt your pain as you found/defined your own line …then was tempted, re-tempted, and ultimately probably still crossed it (talking about the ceiling support). I had an electric garage door opener in my barn for the longest time and although I knew that I likely wouldn’t use it personally, neither did I find someone to take it…much less buy it. Several socialized the possibility of using it when [fill in the blank]. Seems that when they approached their actual need, they each wanted (or were told they wanted) new-new… not my older, never used new. It was a bit awkward to store it and eventually, it went to the dump 😞 when my son bought the property and barn.

    this video without any distractions. Ask yourself " realistically, what needs to be done here?" At this point in your life you have boundless energy, dreams and ideas. But look at the future
    and what is the long term goal. I am 78 years old and this video reminded me me of myself at your age. Since I retired, I struggle with getting rid of all of the stuff I have accumulated.

I came handy for repairs in other areas of the house, without a whole bunch of furring out the modern day dimensional lumber.

    You are doing a great job! Too bad you didn't have someone to give you a helping hand. I'm lucky my brother was always there to lend a helping hand. My dad saved many old barns for the area farmers...jacking and repairing them.

    You should make your own time capsule “display”…interesting things that you find during your repairs and restoration 🙋‍♀️💖🇨🇱

    Looking good! It’s clear to me you have a grasp on structural design but I’d like to suggest permanent cables as collar ties. The design of this structure is going to perpetually result in outward lateral pressure on the supporting structure. Just a few cables installed would help mitigate this even moreso than the buttresses in my opinion. They could be installed higher than the ones you have now and I’d prefer to see them like every third truss but I also realize that puts a damper on the basketball. Perhaps every five trusses with shorter/higher collar ties twice in between each of those. Anyway good luck and keep it comin!

    Really interesting to see how the frame for the corrugated sheets fixed to the concrete wall, am really glad the blocks were filled with concrete if they hadn't been I think that building would have fallen over by now. It's going to be a brilliant space for your world headquarters 👍

    I have watched all of your videos and always had faith that you would succeed. I had doubts on this gym project. But now i can see what your doing. In my mind this will work as planned.
    You best project ever Captain

    I must admit that I was sceptical of the true value in all the work you were doing, based on what we could see through a video. But I was wrong. The structure, even though distorted, is in remarkably good condition. Great work Mike. This is going to be a great shop/storage/HQ. Thanks for sharing.

    The oak arch you drilled through had no rot. It was plenty solid. Looks to me like a couple pieces of all-thread, bolts and fender washers on inside and outside then torque it up and the problem is solved. That's all you need to suck those laminations back together. Before you would add more laminations, you'd have to pull the original together anyhow.
    Likely moisture over the years caused the glue to fail. Waterproof glue was uncommon and very expensive in the 60's. Now it's everywhere. I'll bet these gothic arches were laid up with regular old school Elmer's white glue.
    If you find some have rot at the bottom, you can deal with those as they come. And there won't be any bend to speak of in the bottom 12 -16 inches. 😊
    Easy fix 👍
