Oxtools Epic Egress 1

[Music] welcome back to ox tools i'm tom so i just want to give you a little update so we're going to do some updates as we go through the moving process and those of you that didn't catch the last meatloaf i'm moving the shop we're moving from the san francisco bay area kind of up north about 100 miles where i found a a house with a shop and a little bit of property and that's going to work out great anyway i don't know about eight months ago or so we got hit with a big rent increase here and um it was functionally a 40 increase so you know first cut it's annoying right and uh you know honestly it was manageable but um i guess i'll thank my property manager uh for getting me off my rear end to go out and have a look at some other options and yes there's other options and uh we found a pretty good one so uh we're pretty excited about it now we'll be out of this place at the end of the month so uh we're we're just in october now and uh so we'll be uh located uh relocated in uh in early november so now uh a lot going on behind the scenes um and uh there'll be an opportunity for for viewers to participate and help out um i guess a couple of guys working on some some new t-shirt designs to kind of commemorate the uh the uh titanic egress uh the move out of uh out of here into the new place so uh kind of uh give folks a chance to help out if they want to help out so anyway let's take a look at some of the other stuff i've been working on i built a new mobile gantry crane for the new shop and didn't shoot any video that sorry you'll get to see it getting put together and um and a few other things so uh and i got a little clip of the of the new place too i ran out of battery but i got some some footage of the uh of the new place that i'll show you guys okay so let's go check it out all right so here's here's the new gantry frame so what i did was um i bought a an existing gantry crane off craigslist for about the same price that i could buy brand new steel for and then what i did was i modified it to increase its capacity and i did that by reinforcing the the beam connections it's got a deeper s-beam for the main beam now so we basically increase his capacity from 4 000 pounds to roughly 8 000 pounds so um so that's pretty heavy duty and i got you can't see it you can see the chain here but i have a chain fall here that uh will be on the new beam and um it's on casters so i can move it around in the in the new shop and uh so anyway i'm working on that um by myself you know heavy steel this will be one of the first things to move up there and we'll assemble it so that it's it's there so we'll assist with the uh some of the unloading operations of uh some of the smaller pieces of equipment so anyway that's the general idea so i thought you guys liked it and i'm going to put a second trolley on it too with a second hoist this is useful for uh balancing kind of uneven loads and stuff like that if you have a second trolley on the beam it's uh it's pretty handy so uh this is this one from this is a one ton uh from harbor freight actually it's pretty good price actually i checked checked it against mcmaster and it's like okay i i can't ignore this so uh i gotta go with it so all right all right so that's uh that's one thing so let's take a a little look at the clip of the new place and i think that's about it for this video a little update video okay so see you soon all right that'll work for now all right what do you think so uh we're here at the box tools new shop ranch okay just christened the gate the front gate to the place let's uh take a run up and uh take a peek at the shop let's cruise up the road now you guys know i don't uh typically do a lot of handheld stuff but uh in this case it's uh warranted so this is the entrance let's go up the back way here come up behind the shop there's a shop i'm carrying a bunch of stuff here so bear with me [Applause] so we got a little bit of property um nice shop nice house studio from art studio for my wife and uh we are pretty excited at this point this is the back of the shop coming up to the back it's uh 40 feet by 60 feet it's at 20 to 2100 square feet like that um let's get oop just tripod there mr wizard a two roll up door so it's kind of set up for rv and you could drive through oh let's uh you don't want to hear me huffing and puffing let's go around [Music] [Music]
