My week this week, my workshop videos.

Thanks Thomas, I got over the virus in about a week, but it has left me with a sinus drip and the associated cough, which I get whenever I get a cold or flu! I will be better come spring!

Hi all, Just a short video to bring the 2022 fun and games to a close! I am not a great christmas fan, mainly because of the cold weather, the rampant consumerism and the cynical exploitation used to extract peoples cash! BAH HUMBUG!! Having said that it is a good excuse to do nothing with lots of good food and glasses of port and brandy, to aid the digestion and keep out the cold you understand, and strictly NOT to be enjoyed in any other way! Hope you all have a good time and don't over indulge too much
A merry Yule to one and all!!
It's flippin freezin in East Yorkshire Phl
 
Hi all, I set off to Langtoft on Monday, feeling more positive and healthier, and actually got a few little jobs done, then the weather closed down again, and towards the end of the week a freeze set in, and reports of cars sliding down Tigh Hoe hill ended my weeks optimism, I will have another go next week, weather forecast is better!

Hi all, another short video on some very interesting repairs to some metal antiques, preceded by a view of our freshly decorated front room ceiling wrecked by a pesky leak!! These things are sent to try us! I have been looking through my past (go pro) videos, and I am going to shoot some footage with it and do sound overdub because the wide angle effect on the go pro gives a farmore immersive experience! Feeling much better now as spring approaches and raring to get back in the shop full time!

Hi all, Repairing a broken hinge on a pair of sunglasses hardly seems like a worthwhile task, but the are the wifes favourite pair of Foster Grants from back in the day, So off I go! then we pick up where we left off on the Holbrook, and start wprking towards the reassembly of the saddle and apron, and there is the small problem of the knock off rod that puts the screcutting feed out of gear, which is ever so slightly bent in more than one place, and needs to be straight!! :phil, in rapidly warming East Yorkshire
 
Hi all,
Do you ever have one of those weeks when you start out with the best intentions, but somehow get derailed by the wants and needs of others? It's called life! I did much more than this, including house calls to fix various electrical problems(which I couldn't film) Sorting my water pump on the workshop rainwater system, which is a tedious fault which refuses to show up in testing, but manages to trip the RCD after the pump has run for a few seconds! I have now a workaround, connect it to a non RCD connected supply for a few moments, and it cures itself! This happens if I am away from the shop for more than a couple of weeks, but at all other times, used regularly, no problems! Anyway, I get the dowel pins bored for the Holbrook, and slowly we are staggering forward into spring!

Hi All, Volvo V70 mot work, fitting new steering column U/J which everyone seems to think you need to lower the subframe to get the lower U/J bolt out, you don't, it is just accesible from under the wheel arch but you will need a good fitting 10mm socket and two 12" extension bars! Having not worked on cars since I was in my twenties this weeks work left me with aches in places I never new I had! Conclusion and back onto the Holbrook next week! Welcome aboard to all the new subs, and thanks to all the old ones!

Hi Chaps, many of you have suggested that I post all my videos in one thread, and I have decided to give it a go and see how it works out. From now on I will post in this thread every week, starting with these offerings. As usual some things go right, and some don't. You do have to be carefull with the Gopro as the tiny touch screen makes it really easy to touch the wrong button without noticing, hence there is a second slideshow of the pics I took when I thought I was shooting video. I think a second camera may be on the cards! Hope you enjoy these, and remember to like, comment, and subscribe! Thanks for watching!

I'm surprised that little booster fan didn't make a bigger improvement. I wonder if you would have mounted it in a "y" type in line connector instead of a 90° flange it would make a difference? Either way it was a good video. I'm going to head over to your channel and subscribe.
