I once loaned a heavy 1/2 drill Very heavy duty and the guy was drilling into concrete. Well the bit got hung up and the motor was so powerful it spun him around and broke his leg! I got the drill back from him and he cleaned it all up and was very thankful but he never borrowed it again.

Thank you for having content in the vault for a rainy day. Speedy recovery to you! You're in good hands with Mrs. W around.

The one thing about this video that really struck me was when you said that to just add an electrical outlet to your shop, you would have to get a permit, costing HUNDREDS of dollars. Pretty sad state of affairs when a man can't do what he wants on his own property without having to pay THE MAN. Really sad.

Howdy Cody, I just wanted to pop in and tell you I've been watching your channel for a while. I started watching when I was still and Highschool and I've long since graduated and moved on. Your knowledge for forestry and homesteading has always inspired me to take jobs upon my own hands. Just today I finished hanging my first handle to a vintage Hults Bruks hatchet head I bought at a hand made knife event. It turned out amazing and I used all of the knowledge you shared with KZread to do it. Someday I hope to pass this axe down to my kids hoping it's still on the same handle. I'm going to be making a leather sheath for it later myself as well. Thank you for all the quality content over the years and remember to keep on truckin!

I just finished rewiring my shop. Added more ceiling lights, changed everything to 20amp receptacles, and added a ton more, and added some 240V outlets for welder, table saw, and future purchases, like band saw.

Hey man I hope you get to see this in your time of recovery. I feel like it's good to hear when you make a difference, even when it's not always necessary to seek validation but to find it, is nice. You changed how I go about life. I was stuck on how I'm going to continue my learning and growth in life. I then had a realization that your videos new or old make me so happy. So I decided to do that. I went on a limb and took on a better job to earn for a property to purchase. Moved to a place that I'm happy in and has some land. Built a shabby wood shed. Fell some trees and am clearing the area for better growth and future farms. (Property I'm renting is the place I plan to purchase) got a little tractor and trailer. Good tools a work truck, and non of it would have happened had I not been sitting here getting happiness from your videos. I wish you a healthy recovery. Dont rush yourself and make sure your okay before you worry about us. In the meantime until your back I will continue the grind of waking up, Working, coming home and grabbing my little speaker to listen to your videos, while I work around the property. Thank you.

Our neighbors don't typically loan out equipment. They lent me their loader tractor last weekend and it got returned full of fuel and washed up Another neighbor loaned me a trailer and it got sent back with a new jack and all the bearings serviced Trying to do my best to bring value to others

When I started out turning wrenches professionally 20 odd years ago, I was told by an older tech after borrowing a tool that made doing alignments easier than my equivalent in my box “If you need to borrow a tool more than twice, it time to add it to your own tool box”. I’ve lived by that since. Seemed like sound advice to me.

hope your doing well after your surgery :) ... hope you and you family are well ... stay safe and try to not break anything else for a while :P

Professional homeowner and permit usually don't go in same sentence

As per your idea, it'd be nice for it to be an electro magnet with a switch on it somewhere or another type of disable-able magnet (like they use in magnetic lathe chucks) to avoid little metal bits constantly sticking themselves to the plug, but still be able to use it when needed. Also, once again, love that magnetic drill press.

Being a tall guy (6'8) the first time i saw those ceilling reels in a shop i just about passed out from joy, no more running cords around eqipment or having to crawl on the floor to plug something in.

I can’t imagine living somewhere that I have to pay for permission to put in an outlet. Hope your leg heals quickly!

Unfortunately, Aaron is right. Even in my small Midwest town we're supposed to. Can't say that it doesn't get ignored from time to time. The amount of regulation is asinine. You build a new garage and even though your 80 year old house always had gravel or rock parking. You now have to pave it to the road. I get that we need certain things in place for safety and what not. But really it's not going to matter if you have pavement where you park. Just prices regular people out of being able to afford things.

By the way: that's even before you get into how zoning restrictions in every state *also* affect what you can and can't do on your own property. There again, are no states without zoning codes.

Nice to have you back Cody! I don't know if it's just me, but the proportion of the Stihl chainsaw sitting on the shelf at the beginning in the video is very small compared to the Husqvarna. The Stihl isn't even on the shelf at the end of the video (unless it's a toy saw). Anyways, something I noticed that seemed a bit odd to me.

i tend to keep neodymium magnets around to glue to projects like this, i have an old metal power strip in my truck that has a few magnets glued to the back of it for use with the inverter in the truck, i can pull it out, stick it to the fender for charging tools, running lights etc, and we used it when we went camping last time the camp ground had a steel awning over the table and we stuck the power strip to one of the legs and had our camp lights plugged into it and a fan, magnets are one of those things that either get overlooked or come across as a "gimmick" until you need them, and the metal quad was what i had in mind right as you mentioned it, you could even make it better if the GFCI ever starts acting up, get one that wires in line on the lineset going into the reel, put a quad on the end of it with magnets attached, then you've got GFCI protection along the entire cord, and a magnetic end box, stay safe brother

Take 2 of them welding magnetic holders (looks like triangles, come in different sizes) and epoxy them to the side of the box, you have your magnets. I have to say, awkward shape of that box, why make it so "tippy", they could have made it wider and flat instead and it would have stayed standing easier.

A hook on the box wouldnt be bad either, so you could hang it.

Praying for you all while you are temporarily out of commission. The posting of this video clearly demonstrates you planned for times like these: just what I'd expect of you.

Borrowing things from the neighbors depends on time/item being borrowed and the relationship y’all got. My grandad loans a trailer to a neighbor whenever he wants. About 10 times in 40+ years. Never paid us by any means but helped whenever we needed it, usually calving season. Also this is near Yakima so should match your geographic culture.

Always improve what you borrow. Most recently i had some vehicle troubles, and a friend graciously offered a minivan for me to borrow until i got a new truck. I got it knowing it had some issues and swapped my battery into it to get it back and running. I had to jump it twice to get it home since it hadn't been run in months and kept draining my battery, but i had to stop and get gas since it was parked on empty. I also knew that it was in need of an oil change so i payed for 5 quarts of oil and a filter and changed the oil at home. I also fixed the electrical issue that caused the battery to drain and returned the van after i got my new truck and had it road legal, i e insurance and tag. She offered to pay for everything i did, but i refused. If i was just changing the oil and giving it back, than sure, but i had access to a vehicle to go too and from work and get groceries when i could have been stuck or had to leech off of others to get through my day to day life, and if anything I should have payed her. But she did not need the vehicle and trusted that the van was in good hands and that the vehicle was returned in better condition that it went out. You dont have to pay someone for everything they do, and you shouldn't expect payment when you yourself is receiving something free that you would normally have to pay for. And too this day i still do odd jobs in the hopes of repaying her kindness and to a certain extent would be happy to do anything that doesnt directly impact my own life or start costing me valuable time when something i need done comes up first that is more important. Go through life owing people something. And always have something to give, you will feel much better about yourself and people will look to you in need. Im not saying you have to give your life away, but saving someone from having to pay for a professional they dont know to do work that may or may not reach there expectations if well worth it and they in turn will be happy to help you if something in your life turns upside down.

Glad to see you back. Hope your healing well. Also does that mag drill have different speeds?

Just installed an air hose reel in my garage last weekend. So much nicer than having to coil up my hose every time I'm done using it.

Only borrowed something once from my neighbor (sledgehammer). Needed it only for a minute. The look on his faced when I asked to borrow it said it all. I took it nonetheless and used it. I made damn sure to clean up the top and Tung oil the handle. When I returned it with many thanks, he look at it as to find damage. I wished I had never asked. Since that day, I made damn sure I have everything I need for mine and my family's home. That sledge I bought still sits in the garage unused except when I remember to take it out to clean off the cobwebs. It's just not my dad's era anymore when neighbors help neighbors either on each others cars, homes, etc. No sir.

Have you considered dropping the power extension from ceiling? Out of way and you wont trip over cables? They do this in many office buildings

It’s a miracle! What a quick recovery!!!

You have to get an electrical permit to just add outlets? Wtf is happening over there on the west coast?

Not sure if anyone else already said this..but make sure you either don’t draw a lot of amperage through that extension cord or for long periods of time. If you do plan to, make sure you unreel ALL of the cord. If you don’t, the coiled up reel will heat up from induction and melt.

I know you are loving all your new Milwaukee tools. Did you know they make a M18 mag drill? Wishing you a speedy recovery also.

Flashbacks. I love a mag drill. They cut like butter, safety strap is a good idea but can be very dangerous as can the shavings. Pro tip is to keep those shavings shorter than 1”. Had 2 co-workers loose fingers. One due to the strap getting caught in the drill head, the second guy had a shaving snag his glove and pulled his hand in. Both had bad breaks and gnarly tears resulting in amputations. Looks like you were close with the gloves but camera angles are very deceiving. Love your channel. I respect your honesty and your willingness to try things outside your comfort zone. And your shop gives me an envious level of the fizz. All jokes aside you have given me loads of ideas for my future home when my bride and I get there. I keep having injuries that require surgery that end up killing the savings for a down payment. Praying for you and yours, that you heal from your injury, that God brings peace through this hardship, and that He bless every endeavor you set out to accomplish. In Jesus Name amen.

Lordy! dang it Cody you are in my head! I have a neighbor with a dump trailer, the first time I borrowed it I refurbed the battery with my ctek (he said later it was like new) and I greased all his zerk fittings and lubed up the hitch coupler as it was bone dry, but after having borrowed the trailer twice I have been looking for a trailer of my own due to some unknown barrier about asking him a third time, even tho he's offered as he was so thankful for the maintenance, but the basics laws of nature seem to apply, never ask a third time. Heal up soon Brother!

Nothing you likely wouldn't come up with on your own, but I'm thinking that square box outlet could use a powerful magnet on 1 or 2 sides.

How about the same magnet the mag drill uses? There is already power in the cord and have a switch on it to turn the magnet on/off.

I lend stuff out all the time. I also had a company where I rented equipment. If I need something more then a couple of times I tend to buy it as then it works out better for me. I can use it when I need it. Don’t have to ask a friend or find somewhere to rent it. And rental prices have risen. I lend to friends nowadays not so much renting. I also rent warehouse and garage spaces. It’s the same with people renting or borrowing. Example with equipment and tools how people treat them and give them back. With renting or buildings how they treat them and leave them after use. I have a warehouse for winter storage. Then a garage with 3 bays for working on cars. People can use the garage by themselves tools are available etc.

Swap that plastic box out for a steel box zinc plated, explosion-proof so it's got some weight. Then you can just use a set of loose magnets. The weight of the box will keep it steady in places like on the ground in a good wind. They make versions with the marine covers that open and stay open until you close them. You could have a super skookum drop line that won't get all beaten up easy and will hold onto a magnet really well. Hope you are healling.

That white handled ratchet is pretty nice. Every man should have at least one snap on ratchet in his toolbox like that.

Magnets on that box would be a great way to pick up all those steel chips you make while cutting or drilling… I’d scratch that idea…

What do magnets do in a shop? They colect every fileing and drill remnants in the shop! First you take the water sealed cap off your outlet, remove the GFI, then manetize it. Living on the edge, are you? I guess a broken hip isnt good enough. LOL
