The stereo that was supposed to fit his truck, didnt, but a chainsaw made it work.

The chainsaw was obviously for humor. A grinder or sawzall would have worked much better. As far as hacking up the dash it was already broke all to pieces and the whole truck was junk. What was there to loose?

...A grinder or sawzall would have worked much better...

Obviously an Oxy-Acetylene torch would have been far better....

Or just go old-school with an Axe!

-SNIP- An awful lot of equipment for a quy that doesn't have one employee from what I can tell.

I've often wondered if he had a few off camera employees making all of that equipment pay for it's keep.

I have to say thet he's adjusted the way I work now.
Iover thought everything, and was an **** perfectionist on most projects that led me to not do some projects
for fear of the project not being 'perfect"
The way Andrew slaps things together and gets away with it make me say - what the heck, do it and forget about perfection.

Remember when her screwed his truck fenders together with sheet metal scres then painted over the rust with gray paint
and then say "PERFECT"

No one on this planet would spray over rust and say that was perfect, but it works for him.

I've become an avid watcher of 'Lost and Forgotten Places on You Tube. Gly Coolness really does things I cam only dream about. He's obviously an accomplished geologist and really knows his abandoned mines and goes into places and video's them constantly. Never been a fan of going underground but his video's are very enlightening and educational.

Something about rappelling down a 600 foot deep abandoned mine shaft and exploring every nook a cranny on video is very interesting, least to me it is. Must be for others as well with over 100,000 subscribers. I watch Andrew's video's too. Always interesting with just enough New England humor to keep it interesting.

It think his rattle can painting has a purpose.
When he does a job, he wants the customer to see clean looking well maintained equipment (even though we know it is just patched together)
Presentation is a part of every job!

I’m more like Andrew. My dad is more of a perfectionist. The problem is if he can’t find a cost effective way to do something right he just doesn’t do anything. My thought is when the option is to do nothing or to do a hack job the hack job is better. Example. I cut a trailer in the side of my beater Suburban. A pro body shop would probably charge 2k. Well that wasn’t happening the vehicle is barely worth that much. I fixed it myself and it certainly wasn’t perfect or even close to that but it was a lot better than nothing.

:thumbsup: My dad was an architect and over designed and over built everything. I swing in the other direction... for sheds or covers; purlins laid out by eye, if it ain't square (and I bet that it's not) no problem.

Not saying it's one way or the other.

Clearly, we live in an age maybe more than ever where impressions are everything. To heck with reality!
