Am I the only person who got a fucking roblox ad to get free robux?? What is this bull!?
Cat litter works great for traction in getting out of snowy situations.
Where is the British flag?
When you forget your origins... hate wannabe Americans.
All the money you spent on the tool kit you could have just bought a wench.
It physically hurt me a little bit to see them dry cutting all of that concrete.
7:44 The REAL Jackhammers
Alec you should get a wrench to put on the front of your truck this will help in case you get stuck again can wrap the cable around a tree and hit a button and have someone steer as it pulls
If you have so much of sunlight in background why dont you use the light. its actually very good to see that light.
Return the SLAAAABBBB
7:25 A few episodes ago : "It's a little truck amongst big trucks" YEAH RIGHT ! ^^ That thing must drink a lot
Just curious, how much does a job like that cost? Cutting out that concrete and getting the new slab poured.
Somewhere there is an OSHA inspector tearing their hair out reciting the silica standard by memory hahaha.
*Returrrnnn the slaaaab*
instead of cutting the one work bench down, why didnt they just swap the benches around? put the lower one against the wall.... just a thought
That's off-roading bruh!
ALSO! Make sure to keep a warm blanket in the truck as well! You don't think about it until your heat conks out in the middle of nowhere! Also nice if you get stuck and can't run the heat for safety reasons, (like, possible death from carbon monoxide poisoning)
What goofball sold you a garden spade to use in a winter weather car kit? The first time you need to use it for moving snow around you will curse them! Put the spade in your garden shed and get yourself a small snow shovel that will enable you to move a decent volume of snow.
That concrete thickness might be alright for a walking pathway. But an industrial shed? WTF where they thinking?
the slab is only there to provide support for live loads that may be out and about but for things like where the posts land there will be a thickening (footing) underneath to provide support. The people that made that building did not account for any dead loads like your machinery which is why you need to thicken it where they are placed. good on you for doing it dough most people don't really give a dam and just damage the foundation with dead loads without proper support. If the building has compact fill underneath you need to make sure to dig a bit deeper and re compact the ground so you don't see your new slab slowly sink over time
Tell us about Wills. He has skills and quiet perseverance. Much like Dr Watson! Is he yours?
American products: Nicely displayed, cheaply made. Same with building construction all too often!
I had just assumed that Will was going for something similar to a Jewelers workbench where the bench is essentially a standard standing workbench height but the Jeweler sits in a regular chair to stay at eye-level height with their work.
Need a wintch on your truck and chains and u will be fine
Reminds me of mounting new doors in my house... (post soviet building, built using dry reinforced concrete .. I'm guessing they made too much bunker materials...)
Now you need a 10mm Auto, a .45-70 gov't Lever Action, and a Remington 12 ga. Pump...THEN, you'll be good...Aren't you so very very glad you left the Queen so you can protect yourself now?! Lol
I just binge watched episodes 1-8 on this cause I couldn't sleep! Amazing job on that beauty, proud to say I subscribed.
I carry a lot k in my pocket
This dude's posture is insane. I've never seen someone stand up so straight in my life. Maybe there is something wrong with his back and he has to keep it straight?
"Having tools and education to solve a sticky situation."
Alec, you should make this your new slogan. Damn I love this channel.
why wouldn't they use a air compressed jackhammer or a breaker attachment for their bobcat makes it a lot easier
9:49
Would you say....
The union... got jacked?
You look like a buff blond Harry Potter on speed
Alec you really need a wench for your truck
I've been wondering; If they assured you it was 6" deep when you took out the lease, how did you discover it was only 3" deep, since you started to cutting it and digging before anything got broken?
He drilled the holes to mount his hammer and ended up drilling completely through the slab, that's how he learned how thin it was
No offense to the workers who were tearing out the slab, but it looked like they were taking notes on how to swing a hammer when you 2 took over with the sledges.
Amateur concrete cutters. Lmaooo. A day to remove that small area. LMAOOOO.
Need a winch.
That boy put those guys to shame with that hammer
Being prepared and not needing it is always preferable to needing it and not being prepared. And remember, two is one and one in none. Cheers mate! Welcome to America.
The concrete cutters are les amateurs inc.
Hand warmers in the truck kit? Welding lens for cameras? Paint booth for clear coating metal?
dont forget a winch! =D
Too bad they couldn't have used cutting equipment with dust extraction. Now you have concrete dust all over the entire shop.
Чел попиздеть ни разу не любит
Nice to see you shopping the HD. Thanks for supporting me in an oblique way. I also wanted to thank you for putting that bar across the bed to hold your gear in place. So many times i see open tailgates with all kinds of stuff floating the the bed. Makes me nervous to follow those guys. I have been enjoying all your videos and look forward to some more new stuff.
Ok, the shinpad made me laugh so hard. Well done.
montana well very pretty there just stay away from the locals cuz there prb on meth remember mexco ic just iver the border but just buy a gun and get ya perment keep it with ya
Is it me, or did the slab pulled out look to be 4-5" or so thick? Didn't look 3". But still not 6" though.
Alec must be the best talker ever or Montana must have the nicest people. Jesus Christ. Everyone apologizing and offering to fix stuff. Here in VA, people tell ya to suck it up.
Wtf? that concrete cutting wasnt done right, dont u have any laws in your country?
Is it just industrial building or all of the buildings in america has thin concrete foundation? I am just curious... i live in country and ma dad builds houses(partly his job is too pluming the house? I dunno but making waterways in house) the concrete foundation is quite thick like 30centimeter sometimes 50cm if it is more then one story building
Quite surprised you did not remove the concrete yourself.
JUMPER CABLES!! just in case the truck dies!!
Concrete cutters are a joke... These guys wouldn't have a job in my town.
OMG I live in Montana
Heeeuurrr
Whos the american
Will Stelter
What state do you live in??
I believe that would be Montana
might want to invest in a winch sir
I curious to know why you chose Montana as the place to move to ?
My sir name is steele to
Keep your receipts for insurance purposes in case you ever come out a store and your truck no longer has tools....
12:53
Now is the time to add an extra jacket, blankets, food and water. You don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere and have to rely on a half eaten snickers bar and a 33cl coke can.
That shovel would fit diagonally!
Might i suggest a wynch for your truck makes getting unstuck much easier
Where's your hat?
have you tried forging 440C yet?
Isn't that knife illegal
I've got to say, Alec, your spontaneous laughs never fail to crack me up =D
When he was flipping the piece of slab over i thought that if he's not careful the pipework on the wall would be damaged. Also, when i saw the bobcat in the hole wondered if it would tear up the edge of the cut concrete driving in and out. Yup to both. Everyone he's employed so far has caused further problems so moving to the states has clearly not improved the level of workmanship, as we're led to believe in the UK.
Wait this is the first video of yours ive seen. What exactly are you doing here? was that concrete just not good enough or??
+Timothy S. Thanks for the thorough explanation! Started watching his videos and quickly realized what the power hammer was and that you'd definitely need a solid foundation for that haha
He has a large power hammer that he plans to use for his blacksmithing, due to the size and weight of the hammer it needs to be on a slab of minimum 6 inches. The current slab in his shop is just under 4 inches, with it being this thin he can not safely mount and use the hammer without risking cracking and breaking the slab so he cut out a section and had a 24 inch deep slab poured for him to mount his power equipment to.
When did Alec became a Trap Beat Enthusiast ???
You ever see a 3000-pound machine twerk? You have now...
A winch is worth its weight in gold! Nothing like being able to recover yourself.
You need a winch
Love your shows...now you got a little taste of US inferior building codes such as concrete floors.
Welcome to merica!
I think you should install a overhead crane
To prevent entire shop with no air, add shot off valve to slip the system into section.
Those dudes look like some really unprofessional concrete cutters
If you insist traveling off road, you need a wench to pull yourself out, and a set of tire chains for the worst situations.
Am i the only one thinking its weird that Alec has a 3in thick slab but judging by the vid and thumb nail image, there is a 2ft slab under the wall? That seems odd to me
What is your favorite forging tool
1:22 the bench on the left looks like it's higher on its left legs
Got an electric winch?
Why did you move to America Alec 👍🏼 great video mate
Nice choice moving to Bozeman. Great town.
American slabs are just like American politicians thinnly veiled.
Alec I’m 62 and not getting any younger down here in Alabama. Your public is suffering from the the lack of proper English! Please put us out of our misery!
