He’s living the ultimate dream - having so many grinders that there is always at least one with the right disc on it.

my last job before retirement was at a steel fabrication plant, and in the last 3 years I worked there I repaired grinders almost every day, 28 400-600 amp welders, 15 cranes, 5 forklifts, and 3 buildings. Every day was an adventure, and I built /rebuilt many grinders out of various parts. One of the last things I did before retiring was to senf 2600# of broken and unsalvageable motors, welders etc to the recycler.

Angle grinders are like potato chips, you can’t have just one!😂😬

How many grinders do you need?
TPAI: Yes

Excellent job. Making three useful angle grinders out of a jumble of otherwise useless parts is a key part of tool restoration. Thank you for saving the other tools and equipment. Your tool restoration videos are my favorites, and your understanding of mechanics and electricity is impressive. Thank you.

My older brother (rip) was always working with various electrical devices in the mid 1950s till he passed in 2014. He decided to test the selenium rectifier he removed from a piece of equipment. Wired it to the end of an extension cord. And with a bang it was done. Scared the heck out of my parents sitting next to the power meter on the wall. The surge caused the aluminum disk in the meter to ring. Somebody gave my dad a dead reel to reel tape recorder for my brother to play with. He figured out how it worked and ended up as chief engineer in several well known recording studios in hollywood. He had a swiss pocket knife given to him personally be Willie Studer. The tape recorder manufacturer owner.

That big screw thing with a geared motor could be part of a screw separator, used for separating the solid and liquid parts of slurry and other smelly, gloopy thing.
Slurry is fed in one end and there's a wedge wire sieve surrounding the screw that lets the liquid out.

I think I used to own that model step-up/step-down transformer you saw in the junkyard. They're pretty chunky with a massive transformer inside.

some excellent finds and repairsthere..Another use for the solder hammer was for soldering the tanks on radiators and we used a similar thing to melt the pitch on the lids of repairable lead acid batteries in the 70's before mass produced throwaway ones chased us out of that line of work..

Hey post apocalyptic inventor!
You opened my eyes with what we throw away, and last day Iamaged to rescue a drill support for hand held drills
It was in fairly good shape and all it needed was a clean up and lubrication, though the lever that moves the drill down was loose cause it was missing a few washers, but its an easy repair
It didn't have any sticker nor stamp that said what brand it was sadly
A brand new one costs 30 bucks which isn't much but still I'm glad I got it for free
Its a shame people were going to throw it away
Thank you for teaching me how valuable rescuing a tool could be

I am so glad that at least one person is taking old, broken things and giving them a new life. Way to be resourceful and not wasteful.

This is one of my favourite series in YT! Always happy when a new vid is out. As others mention, am so jealous of your cool scrapyard.

That soldering hammer is aptly named! Not only can it fix copper roofing, it can drive in the errant popped nail! Such a treat to see you finding stuff in your amazing scrap yard, then bringing the finds back to life! Well done!

These Hammer like solder irons were used to solder gutters. I have to of them from the GDR but they’re doing great for normal bigger solder jobs.

Using that white background is a nice touch for viewing new project items.

10:12 I really LOVE how idly you're starting to grind TOWARDS another angle grinder, just minutes after yourself found some scrap metal particles inside the failed ones :D
