DIY With Ron Swanson - Parks and Recreation

hey Ron morning Leslie do you have a good night I did I watched a really good docu what is that this is what I did last night after I got home I drank six more glasses of whiskey and then I finished crafting this small harp using a bandsaw a spokeshave and an oscillating spindle sander [Music] beautiful but wait there's more here are some photographs of me drinking the whiskey you'll notice I'm holding up yesterday's newspaper so you can tell that I'm not lying I feel like I'm in a spa lemonade please and thank you hey I'm sorry if I was Curt earlier I'm a single mom and sometimes things got chaotic around here and when you shut up from the parts department I'd understand completely this is delicious I got it from food and stuff so that's where we got these gloves right so how exactly are you gonna fix this hole just for my own edification I dug the loose gravel out of the hole now I'm using a jackhammer to remove the larger pieces then I'll spray down the hole to settle the dust and fill it with cold patch asphalt well thank you now I can fix the next one myself mark Brendan danowitz hey Ron what's up I have a wood shop and I'm planning a little expansion need my buddy mark the city planner to sign off on the plans sure I just gave the scheduling inspection that's not really necessary yes it is but you'll be fine as long as you don't have any code violations you don't have any code violations deal No Andrew are you aware that your bathroom faucet is leaking are you kidding me I just stuffed a saucony yesterday what else do they want me to do there's an exposed wire above the bathtub as well oh yeah shock wire I call it that because if you take a shower and you touch the wire you die yes that is accurate do you have a toolbox yeah no home is complete without a proper toolbox here's April and Andy's a hammer half of a pretzel baseball card some cartridge that says Sonic and Hedgehog a scissor half and a flashlight filled with jellybeans Ron what was wrong with that one it was too perfect it looked a machine made and the time I've worked here I've taken great pains to see as little of this building as possible turns out the third floor is silent empty and completely free of government work I can't think of anything more beautiful to share with my son if I had a toolbox I could take care of that faulty radiator this place is a paradise hey Mark welcome to my Haven thank you you were the first non me to set foot in this building in ten years none of this is up to code sure it is it's up to the Swanson code there's no drainage doesn't seem to be any ventilation you've got houses chemicals over here yeah which only I'm breathing the same liberty that gives me the right to fart my own car are you gonna tell a man that he can't fart in his own car there is a basket of oil soaked rags above a wood-burning stove good thing I've got a fire extinguisher which I can assure you it's totally up to your precious code this says it should be recharged June of 1996 those dates are arbitrary they're like those expiration dates that the government forces companies to put on yogurt medicine observe watch yourself yeah okay I'll replace this happy my fav new item is a deliciously bold chair my local artist run Swanson Ron Swanson is here he will be joining us after the break so stick around that woman call my chair delicious I guess we could go to a pharmacy but I really don't want to use like a cheap plastic ring I hate to say this but Ann Perkins has terrible taste in rings what is this it's a toe ring with a brown gemstone is this a ruby that's gone bad I am out of ideas jewelry store no that's closed that's why we're doing this perhaps I can be of service how how much you think Ann would miss the sconce I don't know it's part of her house well okay it's not rocket science I removed the sconce fired up my grandfather's torch heated up the pieces in a cast-iron bucket liquefied the metal poured into a mold obviously keep it over a low flame to achieve a nice temper cool didn't antifreeze and just forged and shaped the Rings any with a crucible and a sudden lean torch and a cast-iron waffle maker could have done the same whole thing only took me about 20 minutes people who buy things are suckers 5 26 27 28 violations come on brendanawicz relax let me make you a canoe uh well I don't need a kidney Ron I need you to fix this place up so I'll give you 24 hours [Music] hi there is there a project you're working on I know more than you all right when April and Andy married I didn't get him a wedding present in my experience wedding presents are nothing more than kindling on the divorce bonfire but I think I found a way I can really help them make a home just as we suspected John we repaired the valve stem seal and now all that remains is to tighten down this packing nut and that should do it can we help you no we have everything under control my crews redoing this whole floor were the only people allowed up here right now we'll proceed with your work you won't notice us at all well we're gonna be kind of loud my son is several weeks old he's quite familiar with the sound of power tools oh my goodness we are back with America's greatest leader Annabel Porter and her new favorite artisan local woodworker Ron Swanson hello I discovered Ron's chairs a few months ago and what I absolutely love about a Swanson is you can really use it for anything yes mostly you use it for a sitting make it a rustic accent piece in your solarium even better use it as a focal point in your yoga tent put it by a table and eat a meal we don't do meals in my home no every two hours we eat what I like to call a food tease like an oat wedge or a seaweed lozenge [Music] are you doing here the most important government work I've ever done sanding rat urine stains out of this floor there he is hello hello thank you for your kind words about my chairs miss Porter no thank us you are about to make a ton of money I want to license your designs we are gonna put Swanson chairs in every six bedroom home in the Midwest if my shares were mass-produced that wouldn't be Swanson chairs Swanson chairs are handmade yes and now they will be made by thousands of tiny Chinese hands there I think I got it you got it oh do you least tell me what you're doing I'm a homeowner right I would like to actually learn something yeah I'm tightening the valve stem into the valve shank I'm replacing the handle and then tightening the set screw hold it in place no oh my god that's a good feeling sense of accomplishment pride damn it I just love it so much are you okay great I'm gonna go around this house and fix everything I can find that needs fixing you want to help I really do good that's next oh look John it's red pine they were gonna put flecked linoleum over this beautifully preserved knotty red pine most people in this world John are asked this is the best day I've ever spent in a government building and luckily my son was here to share it with me he now has that satisfied look that only comes with the pride of Labor or he pooped either way well done John [Music]
