I do tea occasionally, with my two favs being dandelion and hibiscus...but I do SO love my morning and afternoon lattes!

Good to know some of the fake ones work. In general, I'm not against purchasing a clone. I am however against being mislead that I'm purchasing the real brand/OEM and paying for that when it's deceptively advertised. When I checked the file sizes of the real against the fake, there were differences, so I clearly got a bad fake. I just did a video on a coffee scale that was a $33 knock off/clone of the $250 version, so I went into that eyes wide open knowing what I was purchasing and at what price. It's the deception and lying or false advertising that irks me.

Interesting...as there were a number of folks in my "intro to welding" class that were clearly advanced and already welding practiced. One conversation the instructor had prior to the midterm was with a student was discussing his job (the student) had him welding all day. All students were treated the same (class was overflowing initially, can't say the same 6 weeks later towards the end). I will say even though a short class, the amount of time available to practice on very high end equipment with an endless supply of materials (steel, electrodes, wire types, etc.) was MANY times the value of what the class cost me IMO. Great learning opportunity I would not have done on my own at home with my low end welder.

@@ReLoadersBench I didn't want to eat the resources of having time testing etc, As it was just brazing for a week and a half Finished 2 months of that , I ran the exam pieces before I skipped school. Then a day and a half on the same Lincoln I have, that was no non graded section (basic familiarize). On the way out I ran into one of my instructors, now there is a man that can weld! I keep my hands busy, I redid my rusted out Suzuki Samurai . I was given it from my sisters ex, OMG I didn't know the ex was driving my sis around in a deathtrap. The rear main leaf springs were sheared! Passenger floor pan was a STOP sign taped into place! 3 popcans siliconed in one wheel well, 2 on the other. Completely and utterly unsafe, it was about 3 weeks fabbing and welding. It was redone properly !

@@PlayingWithFireOutdoors - what really planted the seed for me on learning how to weld was a project I had a local welder do for me. The welds were stacked dimes and looked amazing. Metal artwork to me eye. Took me long enough to take action and learn. One of my instructors was in the local welders union for 50 years. Talk about talent. His TIG welds looked like a machine/robot did the work.

@@ReLoadersBench Yes my instructor was a tool and die guy., nothing but artwork! The worst was aluminum on my back with TIG. I'd loose feeling due to neck disc damage from being team green

Couldn't agree more. I wish Hornady/Dillon would refresh their 750/AP to more than 5 stations...same design, only more stations...like 10 of them! FA had the right idea, time will tell if they executed well.

LOL. I had to watch my video in order to put it all back in the same order. Too funny. Tight packing. Yes, this was the rain forest. I see these Baofengs go on "sale" (special deals) pretty regularly. I know they have updated versions as well. Better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it IMO.

@@ReLoadersBench The Rapid Radios are more expensive, but they do have some that can reach over a 1000 miles. Other radios go further but you need a ham license to use, but not to purchase. But in a disaster I could care less about rules. My son lives in Virginia!!

I wonder how long range long range is ?

@@nickjm37fordel1 - my guess would be a fraction of the rating for urban (buildings/structures) areas versus flat or open land.

Ah...FINALLY someone who can understand/appreciate my wacky sense of humor ;-) Appreciated.

Where did you purchase it from? Vevor has a 30 day "window" to return a purchase. Amazon also has a liberal return policy. A cracked/snapped/broken bed would be an immediate return from my point of view. Hope it works out for you. I have gotten my $700 out of my lathe in both learning and machining/creating. Once this one eventually fails, I'll purchase another.

Will find out shortly at my next range visit, just finished a batch of 9mm, so there will be a follow up video (first on pistol probably and then later on rifle).

Love relatively straight forward DIY repairs...especially when it either gives me back functionality (e.g,, open/close window) or extends the life of this vehicle (e.g., oil changes) I'd like to keep for many years to come.

I have a roll of blue painters tape that is 1/4" wide that is perfect for masking off tight/thin/small areas. I bead blasted the top then used steel wool to get the finish I wanted before masking off and painting it. Made the best sense since the paint would always be scraping off any time it was moved/rotated and locked down.

@@ReLoadersBench Looks great :-))

Still watching watching the video :-))

WOW, you dated the cans for March, I'm watching this video August 5th!

@@nickjm37fordel1 - I picked up the Unisaw in early Feb and finished the restore in late July, about 5.5 months of nights and weekends work. I have SO many videos of the Unisaw restore and tangents as well as other hobby videos which means I have more videos than publishing dates since I publish twice a week. Have to stich in a variety otherwise I'll bore too many with one particular hobby. I will say the saw turned out amazing for being almost 75 years old.

All my reloading (and quite a few other larger tools) presses and bigger components have custom made covers. I pick up the heavy canvas (10 ounce+) aka duckbill at a local fabric store (mix/match colors or what's on sale) and then take the material to a local tailor with my "design" and about a week later I have a very durable and long lasting cover for less than what a cheesy plastic non-custom fitting generic version would cost.

Seller is on ebay if you search through older comments.

Has worked well for me.

To each their own.

@@ReLoadersBench Some of us prefer knowing we will be able to get into our safes.

@@stephenurban9880 - then you apparently did not watch the full video to understand none of my SafeLogix XTreme locks prevented me from ever getting into my safe. LED issues on #1, digital keypad issues on #2 and no issues on #3 (and this video is 3+ years old). They never prevented me from access, the benefit or exact point of a digital/analog combo lock (technically it worked EXACTLY AS DESIGNED - when the digital keypad was problematic, the analog/mechanical functioned perfectly - just try and open your safe with a mechanical lock when you're in a hurry...easier said than done unless you play games like always leaving it near the last number for a slight turn). As you learned, no guarantee on ANY safe lock (do a Internet search on failed MECHANCIAL locks) since your digital failed. And now they are $600, nice. Got and continue to get my values worth.

@@ReLoadersBench Why would I need to get into my safe in a hurry? Even when I lived in Commiefornia I had a couple of guns readily available in my house. And yes that was with kids and then grandkid there. Heck I didn't even own a safe until kids were all gone. The odds of a quality mechanical lock failing suddenly are almost infinitesimal compared to the regularity of e-locks doing so. And most that do are decades old and simply worn out. Which give warning signs prior. Unlike my digital that gave up the ghost with no warning at all. It seems you are trying to stay on Securerams good side so they will continue to send you free replacements when it fails again.

@@stephenurban9880 - like my original comment indicated, you do you, I'll do me.

I guess depends on barrel length. Better for a stubby than a 6” me thinks.

I actually like both, for slightly different reasons. The compactness and extra magnification of the G45 is nice. The G33 is better for my eye relief/set back for the rear iron sight.

Thanks. Paid more than I wanted to due to my state's limitations, but a lot less than what PPT's were initially going for a year ago (haven't followed current pricing, so not sure what they are now going for). Just north of MSRP/retail, so it wasn't too painful. They laughingly (I was literally laughing at prices I first saw for PPT's) started at $5k when first available "locally" and the hype was off the charts. I waited a year for the dust to settle and the price premium to collapse (nice pew pew, but even at MSRP it's priced too high IMO). I just uploaded my DWX Compact trigger job video. It will go public Tuesday morning.

Good idea, thanks.

Never confirmed with SA on the true mainspring weight, was going along with what I'd seen in other videos. The 17lb spring has worked for me, so it's a keeper.

They have two 6ah for 90ish after hack

LOL. I'm good with these "toys".

As an FYI, Harbor Freight has their "Apache" brand/label box that is slightly larger than the Meijia case and at $12.95 half the cost of the Meijia case. But to answer your question, the rain forest product (Meijia) is "MEIJIA Portable All Weather IP67".

Ah...Ryobi clearing out older stock/technology with the buy something get something free promotion. Considering frequency of this tool's usage, I'm good with that.

Because that's the way my mind works. Quite satisfying to "fix or even modify a poorly designed press" to work nicely 40+ years after it was designed/manufactured.

I'll have to remember that for next time as there is always a "next time" :-) Thanks.

I made this video back in 2022 when all the "normal citizen" handgun shipping options "disappeared" with UPS and FedEx... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f9OeaNOq2du3oY0.html

I've used this saw for a number of metal cutting tasks and my only regret is I didn't purchase this sooner! For me a great blend of price and performance. I'll have to check out Tree Top Flier to listen to my "voice doppelganger" ;-)

A more updated/modern (mine is years old) version is available from HD - RYOBI 8 in. Infrared Thermometer for $45

Thanks. I'm a fan of fiber optic sights but just felt the EB deserved a more classic replacement and felt the gold bead was a nice compliment to the firearm.

The Lee Inline Bullet Feeder is a standalone product. Can it work with Mr. BF? I don't know. I only use it for 9mm, but I believe it can do some rifle calibers.

@@ReLoadersBench man I miswrote that! Sorry. I was asking about the difference between three different bullet feeders that I've seen. The difference between Mr Bulletfeeder and this Lee Inline.

@@RichardSmith-kb3uk - ah, no worries. MBF is much higher (and much more expensive) end gear. But I can appreciate the simplistic (and less expensive, LOL) approach Lee takes to many reloading related tasks.

Agreed, unfortunately YT frowns on content providers (and penalizes them as well, which is not worth the risk) supplying purchasing links (especially for my other hobbies). A simple google search on "herocut plasma" gives you all the purchasing links you need or want.

I used a 15/16" hole saw to drill a hole in the bottom of my clear plastic powder bottles and put a plastic plug (T-13) in it, like the ones in the MEC shotgun reloader powder & shot bottles. Rolled up a piece of 100 grit sandpaper to to smooth the hole. Works great. Just take the plug out to top up the powder w/o disturbing the setup. I also bought some larger 625cc (21oz) clear bottles (w/caps) with 53/400 thread size (same thread/cap size as a std container #1 of powder comes in & the Lee powder bottle adapter) from US Plastics. No need to empty out the powder when finished reloading, just screw the cap on & put it on the shelf 'til next time. Cost w/shipping & tax for 12ea Bottles, screw-on caps & plugs was $33.84 ($2.82 per bottle/cap). Get a buddy or two and split the costs.

That's a product called the Mag-P by SocalSW. There website doesn't appear to be active any longer, not sure if they are still in business or not.
