Shop Update and T-Shirt Display Cabinet Installation Time-lapse
I start this video with a mini shop update and discuss what I've been working on (RedCart, Lift Bridge Furniture, a Charging Dresser, a Lumber Cart that doubles as a panel saw), what I have in the pipeline, and end with a cool time-lapse video of a T-Shirt Display Cabinet that I installed over the weekend.
The customer plans on displaying many different t-shirt designs in the upper cabinet on mannequins and different size t-shirts (small, medium, large...etc) will be rolled up and stored in the cubbies. This is a waiting area for the Stillwater Escape Company (they do puzzle rooms for small groups) which explains the benches on the front of the cabinets. They plan on storing boxes of t-shirt inventory inside the benches which is why they are hinged and open up for easy access.

      Sadly, my software business of over 15 years needed a lot more attention and was dealt a death blow after covid hit in 2020. UA-cam was always fun and more of a hobby, but I haven't been able to focus on any hobbies for the last few years. Once we're able to get back on our feet with a solid financial footing, I'll likely be jumping back in the shop and making more videos.

    I’m 65 and have enjoyed using my 1963 DeWalt radial arm saw for years. RAS are not dangerous if you know what you are doing and have respect for safety. Jealous of your vintage router, but I am blessed to have a full shop of “antique tools” because when I was young and single I could not afford to go to Sears and buy new Craftsman tools like my friends. My 1948 Delta bandsaw and 40’s vintage Craftsman 6” jointer and shaper are built like a tank and still going strong. My prized passion in my 1914 Victor Koontz pattern makers vice. Too bad America does not build things to last like they use to🇺🇸. Loved the video! You definitely have a new follower!

    I want to thank You so so much! I had an error code in my keypad of a different stove and had placed an order for the piece in ebay and it was due to be delivered today and it was delayed. So God said go look on youtube and find a video on how to manually ignite the stove like back in the day. Your video popped up and I read the comments and I said a prayer over the video bc I really didnt have the money for the part. It was $250, and that was the cheapest seller. They package was delayed and I wad going to go all weekend without a stove and I asked my son humor me and help me get the panel off. It looked as though of the pins was cruddy, I had used the eraser but also a small pin to scratch lightly each pin. We put it back together ans turned the breaker back on and its meatloaf tonight instead if tacos! Thank you so much. Now I can get a refund from the seller when it comes and use that money to pay my car payment! Thank you!!! Praise Jesus for leading me to find you! ❤❤❤❤😊

    Caig Labs' DeOxit - invest. Infinitely better than an eraser, and it continues to protect against the very thing you're correcting. A small bottle will last you a VERY long time, until you figure out that it improves just about everything it touches, but that's a different story. Pull the ribbon cables, dribble a little DeOxit on, let it sit for a minute, agitate with a q-tip or lint-free-cloth, wipe off excess, and work the end of the ribbon cables in and out of the socket about 20 times with the deoxit applied very lightly, and then allow the empty socket to sit for a few minutes, then work the ribbon in and out again a few times, then seat the ribbon, pull the connector tight, and if you still have a problem, I guarantee it's not the connector or the ribbon cable!
