Extremely disappointed. Can't believe you've abandoned the superior metric system.
Sorry, but rugby is the best sport in the world
I started getting super busy in October 18' because I was moving into a new house etc, having a child, so I missed about 3 months of your vids, till now, when I've almost finished binge watching your entire shift to Montana, and it's been fucking awesome
Now I know what the true use of a power hammer is . . . . to make kindling so you can light off your coal forge. Forge on Alec
"How much does that weigh? 8 oz? 1 lb? How about gram and kilograms?"
Definitely the coolest way of making tinder wood to light your fire
Why dont you sell all those toothpicks?, have fun and a little profit LOL
Save time when cutting misters by just going straight to the miter saw... It cuts two miters in one cut and you don't have to wait for the band saw to finish all of its cuts... Could save you a lot of time.... Just take into consideration the thickness off the blade when measuring up stock
Alec, celsius does make much more sense; 0 freezing and 100 bolling. The rear irony is US using the British Imperial System. So, you can truly feel at historial home.
I should mention that that in Montana the freezing and boiling temperatures are not the same as at sea level. Boiling becomes 98 degrees c and 208 f, freezing temp is about -1 c and about 31.5 f, so high altitude makes it all confusing.
But . . . the imperial system . . . started . . . in . . . Britain . . . O_o Why do people blame America for it? ESPECIALLY Britain's, like . . . we learned it from you.
And today we forge TOOTHPICKS!!!
Uhhh, I think what we have learned is that not only can you not stretch a 2x4 which has been cut too short, you cannot draw it out, either!
I can’t tell if Alec is memeing the whole temperature thing
36/12's? So 3 feet?
Rugby, like American Football but for men...
Ah im glad you got it running considering the massive fanny on it took to get there!
Stop making fun of us using your old imperial standard you limey bastard, LOL
11:04 he's gone nuts!!!
That fucking hammer is scary 😥
LOL!! Most expensive kindling maker ever!
I'm Canadian eh... Celsius is the way to go
The metric system makes perfect sense. You're a bit off bud.
I love you to bits but 0-100 makes far more sense to me BUT I have spent my whole life using it so I am biased I suppose
I DESPISE the imperial / SAE system!
Every kid has to break something lol
youtube has become one big circle-jerk of money-hungry people..... the passion for performing the trade is gone unfortunately...
Oh thats nice that Lincoln gave you welders and a plasma cutter but will is using a esab hood. Shaking my head.
Mericua !! F**k yeah. Freedom !!! wooooo lol
Imperial huh? So... why microMETER calls like that even it uses an imperial system? :D
Why did you buy brackets, for the grinder belts?
Should of made them
I love that fuckin shirt.
Only dumb countries use imperial...😂
Metric FTW👌🏻
long time since i laughed out loud with a youtube maker vid. gz
No Alec. Celsius is easier.. 0 is freezing 100 is boiling. Thats it..
How old are you Alec ?
He just turned 21 a couple of months ago
Love the new shirts
Power hammer and wood looks like the snare section in pep band
Expeliarmus!!
What a great emotional payoff for all the struggles.
you realy should stop beating up your wood what did your wood ever do to you yo deserve that kind of punishment
I just gravy'd my bald eagle steaks and Freedom fries with all that 'Muricana sarcas-machismo while waving my American flag and blowing illegal immigrants back to Mexico with red, white, and blue Independence Day fireworks out of my Trump tattooed butt.
Well done, sir!
(Seriously... I have never wanted merch so bad. It's HILARIOUS!)
xD
gonna miss the pilkington
Impérial ? Métrique ? Aucun des deux n'est meilleur que le système pifométrique. Un peu de ci ? Une pincée de ca ? Un verre de ceci ? Une lichée de cela ? Une chiée de machin ? Un max de bidule ? Ca fait combien en oz (éventuellement liquide), en g en moles ? Et pourtant ca, ce sont les unités les plus utilisées au monde ! (and sorry for all who don't speak french, many words aren't available in Shakespeare system, but fully understable by Molière system)
Your videos right now remind me of home improvement! Awesome stuff keep it up!
haha! that face!... Like a Kid, with new toy!
Damn your color grading is off!!! No real contrast at all... everything is kinda mushy... did you change something?
Just a shame that the American people still reference Celsius rather than Fahrenheit
Did you consider just flipping the argon shelf over so the tabs would then be out of the way under the shelf?
I am still so stoked that u live in montana now I live in Helena and I really want to come visit your shop 😆😁😁
Yesssss
I’ve made up my own temperature system. Freezing point I call “Hard Water”, boiling point I call “Hurt Water”. Everything in between I call “Watery Water”, until I reach warm water. I call that “Yellow Water” because it feels like when you pee in Watery Water.
just a thought and i am sure you know this but if you put the nut half way on the all-thread rod before you hit with a hammer it will not mess up the threads.
Fun fact: when farenheight was first devised, 100° was meant to be the average temperature of a human body. But he accidentally measured that on a man with a slight fever.... So.. its wrong. Maybe we should all switch to kelvin or centigrade.
The metric system rules.
Anyone know the song at 4:55?
Not quite sure why you let the "grunt" take the first hits with the hammer... lol
Alec, you really shouldn't play with your nuts on camera... lol
The freedomheight is pretty cool too.
Could you make a video on all your tools and what they are for?? 😂
I am glad to see you embracing our freedom units.
rugby > football
At first I thought you were serious in slagging the metric system, then I realized you were being sarcastic. FahrenSHITE!!
13:35 is the face of a man with a very expensive and very powerful new toy.
Good one. The belt storage is awesome.
Steele toothpicks!!!
I know it's so stupid like socket sizes 1 through 10 so confusing 1/4 5/16 3/8 7/16 1/2 9/16 5/8 11/16 3/4.. it makes so much more sense.
Metric system is sooooo much easier and better lol.
Will don’t forget to clean the band saw 😂😂😂😂😂
How does 32 degrees Fahrenheit as freezing make more sense than 0 Celsius?
Does he live in Montana
Metric system sucks for everyday life...it's better with math and science but for everyday stuff Imperial system is better.
How about a video on how the power hammer works? I'm very mechanically-minded, but I can wrap my head around the mechanism that controls the height, stroke, and power of the hammer.
Welcome to the land of.... er... quasi-freedom. We are happy to have you!
I quite like the metric system
Alec's accent is becoming more and more American.
As an American, the shirts are hilarious.
Mr pilkington still had a certain unmatchable charm.
Imperial? Metric? I'm broke in both systems, so why bother?
One way of making kindling
nice kinderling machine
SI units they are called... doing math with them is a lot easier but K not C in temp you will find...
"In 2019 kelvin is to be defined by taking the fixed numerical value of the Boltzmann constant k to be
1.380649×10−23 J⋅K−1, (J = kg⋅m2⋅s−2)" wikipedia
My favorite one is time
One second is
"The duration of 9192631770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom." wiki also :-P
To be fair, the imperial system is based on 100 as well. 0 is the temperature at which brine freezes, and 100 is the approximate temperature of a healthy human being. Granted when you use that scale you end up with weird numbers, like water freezing at 32 and water boiling at 212, but it is what it is. xD
I usually laugh at silly Euros that smug about C and throw out the "butbutbut water" argument, when F is objectively superior when it comes to outdoor temperatures. (you know, what you deal with daily) But being from the UK, I'll let you pass (even if you arent a big tea drinker), as I can see why people in the UK would be more worried about boiling water than outdoor temperatures. It makes a thermometer into a nice percentage of the way to boiling indicator for kettles.
Funniest thing is when Americans get all gung ho on defending that they use imperial...they use the meme that they were the country that put people on the moon....yeah and the calculations for that were done in metric! it's just a better system, has nothing to do with who uses it....
Quick tip on the hammering the all-thread. Put a nut on it so you don't peen over the threads.
Fantastic job on the welder cart. Epic!
That hammer is a dream tool
I use the metric in my shop cuz fractions fuk me up.
I want a power hammer just to crush 2"x4"s or is that some crazy stupid crap like 50.8x101.6s? Just rolls of the tongue.
I feel like the entire unit discussion is just Alec being facetious 😅
Expensive toothpick maker lol.
Lol from mankind swords to making shops you guys are legends this is the American dream.... make a stripper pole all American dreams have strippers
Love the esab Sentinel Hood. I've got one in love it too.
Loved the sarcasm
" It's alive!"
Hammer time!
Rugby, a game very like American Football, but without the pansy armour.
Damn, that's a really nice power hammer! I want one
Clean the wood chips otherwise its gonna look like what you once did with the bridgeport
