Garcansdad's channel

Ed - great stuff! For a more violent implosion, why not build an accumulator tank using a refrigerant drum. Put a valve in series with the intended crush victim and open it when you have the desired vacuum. It might make the cans collapse quickly.

Brings back memories. I got my license at Addison airport in 1974. Cool video.

I have a unit like that but it has another problem. It says 'no signal' on either input. It works on the video input but nothing else. Have you ever come across a problem like that? Thanks.

Nice job! How many LOR channels are you running? I've been running LOR for 7 years now. My display keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Great work! I've been running LOR for 7 years. My Halloween display is an alien theme. I have an 8' alien face singing and two Halloween faces singing back-up. I just updated to LEDs and cut the current draw by about 80%. I used 48 channels this year. Next year it will be 80. My neighbors love it...

Nice job. I've been running Light-O-Rama for 6 years now. I just converted to LEDs. Are you considering Cosmic Color Ribbon for your arches? I'm using the ribbon for the roof line and a flag pole. It's great with the colors.

Kevin - Excellent job! 1144 channels - no wonder Light-O-Rama is still out of stock of the 16 channel controllers. I've been trying to buy more for several months. Really cool. Keep up the great work.

Hey roryj: Do a little research. Airbus has had over 20 fatal accidents that are not widely publicized. The fly-by-wire system they use is not reliable. Check the Airbus philosophy - design the pilot out of the system. I didn't expect this to turn into a shout fest. Several friends are A&Ps and t...

Great video! Seriously, take a demo flight and get your pilot's license. You'll love it. I got my license over 30 years ago.

Where would we all be without Coca Cola? Easy fix. Make your own cherry Coke. Buy grenadine syrup and add it to regular Coke. It actually tastes a little better than store bought cherry Coke.

Hey Jen, what's the Dave's farm situation? I haven't been looking for updates on You Tube but I figured you'd know. Thanks.

I'd go after them for infringement. I have two registered Trademarks and a local guy decided he'd use one of them as his own. I called a lawyer friend who wrote a letter to him. It scared the heck out of him and the infringement stopped.

Great music - otherwise total psychobabble.

Speaking of thread lock . . . have you used Loctite Quicktape? It's the tape version of thread locker. It looks like teflon tape only colored for the strength rating. Pretty convenient stuff.

That's as real as it gets. Those are power lines arcing. Nice video. The question is why didn't the substation supplying that part of town trip off and stop all that?

Excellent comments. It's not a rant. The first world countries need to eliminate political correctness and environmentalism. Thanks Ed.

I think you've invented a new appliance. You could market it as an apple juice or sauce maker.

It's really nice to see the old, heavy duty, well made equipment. You need to build a museum section on your outdoor building. As far as girlfriends are concerned - tell them your life is like a freight train - they can get on or off at any time.

Nice work! My grandfather made an anvil like that back in the 1920s. I still use it today. He was a conductor for Union Pacific railroad and had all sorts of railroad related stuff. Thanks for posting that video.

I had that problem on both of my PVW series Betacam units. The fix was simple. Some of the guide pins in the threading mechanism are press fit. They do come loose. When they do they move down just far enough to jam the mechanism during threading and unthreading. The pins can be locked in place wi...

Spectacular stuff. I like it. Out of curiosity when you are scrapping microwave ovens, what type of failures do you see in the ovens causing them to be discarded? Obviously the transformers are still working, but what usually fails? I've had a couple transformer secondary insulation breakdowns an...
