The project of infinite setbacks
Maybe it's not that bad, but I feel a lot of pressure for multiple reasons to go ahead and get this project done
I got this laser for free. Is it any good?
Now for something a bit different. I get these poorly translated spammy emails all the time so I started taking advantage of them. This thing is a heck of a lot better than I expected it to be, so that's good. Now let's see what other surprisingly useful crap I can get from these emails. I a...
I'm a bit stuck
I'm stopping on this go kart project for a bit to switch gears and work on something else. Turns out spit welding a high current battery pack together isn't quite as straightforward as I thought

The video should be coming in the next few days
Aging Wheels Tool Tour!
You asked and I answered. This video had no cohesive goal or point. I just walked around my shop and talked about various tools. I could've talked way more about this stuff, but the video would be an hour long and significantly more boring. I hope you enjoy. If not, the next video will be back t...

Can I Power This Go Kart with a Used Car Alternator?
I may have accidentally made an educational video. I learned a ton from this project and putting together this video. And I filmed it wildly out of order. I'd learn something new and have to go back and re-explain some older piece of information. There are several back to back clips in this vide...

My Stupid Coda Keeps Breaking
I know. You're shocked.
I Broke My Window Cuz I'm Dumb
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/je_BSzojDFoMore of a casual video this time. I think I should make more videos like this. It was fun and relatively pressure free to make. It certainly won't be a viral hit or anything, but I think it was worth making.
This is a Glorious 1/2 Scale Foden Steam Truck
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/PFKa8K9qZBQIsn't this wonderful?! As far as I know, this is the only one of its kind in the states, and the owner invited me down for a look at it!
Help!
Ya know, if you can. If not, continue enjoying your day.

It's going to take a while, but it's coming along!

Cones and Things!
And yes, my floor is wet. My shops have a tendency to flood a bit
My Coda Already Needed New Wheel Bearings, So I Replaced Them
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/QXw03ZLg2nQMy Coda needed work done (surprising, I know), so I did that work. Now it should be good to go for at least another mile.
My Third Coda
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/jRGrQryvKaoHere's a short little video about my third (and final, hopefully) Coda. I also add some missing details about the whole EDI storyBy the way, I'm finally working on the bus again. It'll be a while until this work results in a video, but progress is...
I Made a Ton of Drawers for My Shop Cabinet
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/h8isJPCw4FEThis was a big project. I thought I could have this done in a couple days, but it took far longer than that. It's a little rough around the edges, but as I said in the video, this is a learning experience. I haven't filled up the drawers yet, but I th...

Getting My Dilapidated Coda EV Back on the Road
Direct Link: https://youtu.be/w9SciIRD3fUHere's everything I had to do to get my Coda back to being roadworthy. A whole host of issues (including the wheel bearings, again) popped up after I made this video, so it looks like I have more work to do!
