Thinking outside the box

Great job as always Paul. You should sell that design to Kabota. I always look forward to your projects. How did you make the lip on the lid?
Bill

I agree...Nice job...Paul should at least submit it to Kubota and if nothing else maybe get some free stuff...they wouldn't dare just copy it ..or would they Really nice job !

Your project is very impressive, I wish I had one tenth of your skill. The world produces exceptional talent in a few individuals and I believe you are one. Michelangelo chose paint and marble to form his creations from, you have chosen metal.
I would love to see a tv show of you creating in your shop. You would not need to see anger rants or throwing stuff around such as some shows seem to do, you would have my rapt attention just fabricating things.

I agree with Dozernut about the TV show. I love to watch the shows about guys who create stuff - just can't stand all the anger that seems to go along with it!

I have seen a show called American Restoration, but to be honest, they have nothing on Paul. Paul's work is far superior! I also think the whole aspect of being located in such a remote place could play in well with the show. We'll have to all write in to the History Channel and see if we can get Paul's shop featured in a pilot!!!

Once again Paul - GREAT JOB!

Ok Paul. I'm just going to have to stop reading your threads because every time I do I end up having to buy a new keyboard because I've ruined it by drooling too much on it.:laughing:

These manufactures might be watching but they'll never acknowledge what others are doing to dress up there product or improve on an already great machine. I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed seeing it and thanks for posting.

Holy smoke I really appreciate your very kind words. It was very nice of you to take the time to post them as well so thank you very much for doing so.
I agree with you. These guys on TV these days are over the edge. I just don't watch it anymore. To much drama with very little content. When I watch something I like to walk away after and think I might have learned something from it but I never do.
All I know is that these shows do nothing to promote family. The language is terrible and why is there always a deadline. It's all so predictable now. They weld something and then send it out for paint. Why don't they do it all in shop?
Anyway thank you very much for your thoughts and I'm pleased to learn you enjoyed seeing the storage box I built. :thumbsup:

Nice!

Thank you sir

Thomas my friend. You give me way to much credit but I appreciate it very much. If you were around here in my shop you'd get a good chuckle. We have some unique people who come here to get stuff done and it's because of them I keep plugging away at it. If I ever get on a TV show you'll have to promise me you'll make a guest appearance. :thumbsup:

Tom you gave me the chuckle of the day and I thank you for that. The weather here is miserable and when I seen that photo I busted a gut laughing. Thank's again :laughing:

Ok Paul. I'm just going to have to stop reading your threads because every time I do I end up having to buy a new keyboard because I've ruined it by drooling too much on it.:laughing:

:laughing: Here's what you need to do. Get yourself a Piggly Wiggly bag and wrap your keyboard in it. That should keep the drools off of it. If that don't work I have some 3/16th plate left and I'll make you a drool drip catcher. I just need your head size :laughing:
Glad your enjoying the threads. Thank for your kind words.

Well after today I know I'm better at building storage boxes than I am at doing video's but I did manage to throw one together. I hope the sound works. Here's the link. It basically shows all the photo's I took of the project.

Paul, I just got done waching the video and noticed when you opened the lid it was dark in the box. You need to install a dome light. In the video you were using some welding magnets. Those are the strongest looking magnets I have seen and looked like they had an on off switch. What brand are they and where did you get them. BTW nice job on the video.

Thanks Bill. I had trouble with the audio for the video so I added another one. I think in the video you looked at was the first one. It took out my narration at the end. I think this new video should have better music and my narration should be there close to the end. Ya it was dark and cold in the shop that's why the poor lighting. An interior light just may be in order :laughing:

You got the eyes of an eagle my friend. Yep they're a good mag clamp. They do have the off/on switch which I like because it's easy to remove the crap from them. They weren't expensive. I'm thinking around $15 each at the time. I purchased them at Princess Auto.

This video might be better. YouTube - Thinking Outside Of the Box 1

Like others have said on this forum, I've gotten fed up with the American Chopper, American Hotrod, Howe & Howe Tech, Monster Garage, et al ad nauseum format of conflict, egos, etc, hack work show. I liked TLC's Rides; but that didn't last long because it didn't go for the conflict and melodrama. There is/was a series called Brewmasters on one of the cable networks that has/had promise as they focused on making beer and the history/inspiration for a particular style of beer while keeping the egos and personal back stories (e.g. TMI - Too Much Information) in check.

One other thing I've noticed about Paul's videos is that he understands the concept of editing to move a story along. How many times have we seen a vendor's web site video of whatever it is they are trying to sell that is linear in nature with unnecessary footage?
