I love this list you've supplied, for the tools and other items you use. Some sadly can't be ordered outside of the US, but i have managed to find similar items that i need elsewhere. Based on this. Thank you! :)

The machinists tool box is one of my best purchases. It’s funny bcuz I have just about everything you mentioned except for the air compressor. It took me awhile to accumulate everything tho, but definitely makes customization so much easier!

And don't forget the Harbor Freight bench holding it all! They are cheap and perfect for the hobby. Comes with peg board and 2 drawers and also has a power outlet on the side and a florescent light at the top. Super handy and cheap workbench

Great video. Wow. Lots of tools. Curious as to what you’re using for your axles. Assuming they’re dressmaker pins??? What size and where did you get them. And what size are the axle tubes you use with them. Trying to find something as an alternative to stealing axles off other FTE cars. Found some pins but they don’t seem to be the same size as the hot wheels axle.

The only thing I've found locally is the wire in this link. As long as it's .032 it will work. I think Hobby Lobby still sells them fairly cheap. amzn.to/2i5Hjfn

Dear Lord! All these HW restoration/customizing videos, you load your own ammo....and you modify watches? You wax your own cars....i see the wedding band so I assume a wife.....you own a home and you are in the dental industry.....where do you find time to “relax”, maybe decompress....go fishing? I’m retired now from careers in the military and law enforcement.....my family paid dearly for that! But I suddenly feel like a slug! Anyway....excellent video....incredibly informative and like @John Day, I like your wooden box.....I’m thinking one for my decoy carving supplies! Thanks again....Take care!

Ha! My form of decompressing is working in the garage. Whenever I sit, I go nuts. Everything is after family time though :)

@WheelsNThangs 5 жыл бұрын

I may have forgotten it, I use just a punch and hammer.

@jedistreaming4006 5 жыл бұрын

@@WheelsNThangs it's OK bud, saw the other video I commented where the axle end is flatten out, I saw a comment on Beadalon crimp tubes #2, but, how are they used on end of axles?

@WheelsNThangs 5 жыл бұрын

Fonzies HW68 So many ways to complete axles. A lot of the time I just smash down the ends but sometimes I also use beads which are just glued on. You can also use crimp tubes and crimp them with needle nose pliers or you can glue those as well. Most of the time I just use the hammer and punch method.

Sadly for me some of your tools and items aren´t selled in Mexico or not used kinda anymore or hard to get. I even searched in Home Depot Mexico´s page and no good results, also entered to Amazon searching for some of your tools and the important ones aren´t shipped to Mexico =(. As customizer is frustrating for me doing projects improvising with some materials or fixing screws or cutting and not doing a good job with my pieces because some items can´t be acquired in my country and I have to improvise a lot.

@@WheelsNThangs thanks just looking what youre goong thru i was expecting much more. I thought Airbrush and compressor would be right at $75 already. I guess I gotta price it out better and pick out the must haves
