ROADTRIP 2024
Hello, my friends, Keith Rucker, Mike Wiggins, and myself embark on a journey out west to the Bar Z Bash.
We got to see things from the road we had missed in previous trips when flying. From mountain goats(or Rams, I don't know the difference) to road runners and spectacular scenery.
We were on the road for two weeks, and stayed with some awesome friends on the way.
Anyway, I had a long break from work and must say I really enjoyed it but now back to work in the upcoming videos.

USS IOWA WALKING THE PLANK!
Переглядів 3,3 тис.16 годин тому
Hello my friends, and welcome to the USS Iowa. I found this most fascinating and hope you will too. Keith Rucker, Mike Wiggins, and I got a personal tour of this ship after I got lost and then found. After being returned to my party, Mike Getsher gave us a well-informed tour of the steam power plant of the USS Iowa and takes us to the battle room as I call it to see how old school technologies ...
PLASMA CUTTING GATES AND RISERS
Переглядів 6 тис.14 днів тому
Hello, my friends. This video concludes a project I have been working on for a greenhouse in West Virginia. The greenhouse is Victorian, and Chris Voleck of the Elwood Estate needed 5 different castings of numerous pieces to complete this project. I have been missing use of the plasma cutter due to construction, which cut off my supply of air. www.everlastgenerators.com/product/plasma/powerplas...

USING CREALITY FALCON 2 PRO FOR LASER CUT VERTICAL FLASK
Переглядів 11 тис.4 місяці тому
Hello my friends, Creality was generous to me once again and provided us with the FALCON 2 PRO. This laser cutter/engraver is a really nice machine for home and shop. Yes, I said home because this machine keeps the smoke in the machine and out the duct, a very nice touch along with a camera to easily and accurately position the work without the need of running a frame cycle. If you would be int...

As with any mold we make for the first time, things don't always go as planned and like this capstan, the plan is made and changed every minute as we experiment to see what works best.

Engineers don't know how to weld, they think a mig welder, is the right welder to use. Stick welding is the right way to go! Get your prostate checked out mate
Thanks to you all for another great video. By the way, Clark, I don't know if you are aware but you got something sticking up out of your hat! 😂
At 20:02 the panels on the ground reflect the sunlight to focus at the top of the tower heating the material in the chamber (I think it is sodium) to very hot temperatures which flashes water to steam to turn a turbine and make electricity. Thanks for sharing the road trip Clarke, Keith, and Mike.
Great times with Great Friends. Thanks for sharing your wonderful trip with us! I still can’t believe the USS IOWA wasn’t made in Iowa…classic…
I know right🙄
Would have loved to join you guys! Maybe another time! Loved the sharing!
Funny as xxxx, a great video.. Cheers 👍
That grinding wheel balancing system is INCREDIBLE. As an aircraft mechanic, I am very familiar with the INSIGHT line of aviation products. Thanks, Clark.
Rex that is Mr. Insight himself. Very clever man👍
👍👍😎👍👍
I am glad you were able to see the part of the country I live in.
ya know, I run 12 miles a day so, so, that's another story ... 😂
👍👍👍
22:09….. I know that voice. I have the greatest amount of respect for Victor Davis Hanson. What a brilliant man. Super intelligent and so very humble. 🇺🇸 I’m going to hit the 👍🏻 for that at minimum ! Hahaha
Thanks for sharing Hope you enjoyed the trip
I did👍
You've got to do a cross country road trip at least once. I've done them many times both as a kid being drug all around the states West of the Mississippi and then again as an adult with my wife both in the Porsche and on the Honda Gold Wing motorcycle. Even if you only do it once the South West of the US is indescribably a sight to be seen and then there is the Rockies and the Tetons mountains, breathtaking. A bucket list item for sure. Do it before you jump out of the airplane or bungee off a bridge, just in case!
Anything requiring jumping off is not on my list 😁
Man you guys sure had a great time 👍👍 Had to crack up at HD cart with square wheels, I think they source from the same supplier as there nice straight 2x4's 😂😂
I made the effort to push that cart all the way around the store and annoy everyone😁
Pleasure meeting you Clark! Thanks again for the full-day casting demo!
Any time!
You got a lot in this video. It was so cool to meet you all at the Bar Z Summer Bash and then have you over as guests at our home and truly having said goodbye to great friends. I know Brendon is thankful for all the good discussions and that you were a tremendous help to him and his ambitions. *Christina
It was awesome meeting you and your family and really enjoyed the dinner you prepared also👍
My dad worked on the solar array. He was aligning the mirrors to the tower. I was about 15 at the time.
Space X out of Vandenberg AFB (Elon Musk, not Bezos)
For those solar plants, y'all had it backwards - the mirrors reflect light up to the central pillar which generates power (I think via heating salt up to melting point, then using that to boil water to turn steam turbines). Really cool to see that!
Neat, I didn't know. Mike Wiggins was the voice explaining it
Same concept as in movie 'Sahara'
Yeah, it toasts a lot of birdies.
You didn't include the answer! (edit: or maybe you did...I need to watch the rest) I got 26, 24x24+8x8+6x6 = 676 which is 26x26. Long multiplication is a pain and the square root was a guess based on 25x25 being 625 and assuming the answer was a whole number 😁
I forgot what the answer was🤣
@@windyhillfoundry5940 Oh well, time to get the calculator out! 🤣
Yep - 26
@@shandylynn1 That's a relief, I can still do long multiplication. I did check 26x26 but assumed the rest was correct, assuming the answer was an integer. And this is why we use calculators nowadays 😄
That was a great trip. As usual thanks for the video. 😅
Great trip for all of you. Thanks for stopping in for a night, Julie and I really enjoyed your visit. At least you each had your own room.
Thanks for having us Randy! The pine cones made it back safely👍
@@windyhillfoundry5940 Good deal
It look like you had a great time. I am glad you got to see the other side of the country. Have a good day Clark.
WOW! What a great trip. You guys are so lucky. Thanks for the videos.
Это здорово,я смотрел все видео как вы делали брашпиль для лодки,просто какой то релакс от просмотра.Классно когда все на одой волне.Привет из России.
The dissertation at the end was golden. Good thing I had finished my cup of coffee before it started. LMAO.
I wish you could have included a day with Tally-Ho on this trip...
That balance system looks really interesting
what a great crew
Good Times ! A delightful presentation. Thanks for sharing.
HaHa- that opening shot of the agriculture check station is hilarious, when they have millions of illegals crossing the border with nothing being done.
maybe having 4 pivot points in the mold it self, that way , when you pull up that first mold since there are four points on the mold hopfully this maybe can help? maybe the humidity and the cold is playing some factor in how the sand is sticking oviously, but maybe drying it more some how maybe my thoughts
It can't have been made in Iowa, shipping would have been too expensive, and it probably wouldn't have been elegible for Amazon Prime.
😛😛😛😛😛😛😛❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Clark Easterling, still waiting for you to report to the office...
🤣
The British early fire control was known as the "Dreyer fire control table"......and was installed in RN warships prior and during WW1 Very interesting to get to look inside a huge dreadnought like that.......I'd have enjoyed it... Unfortunately all our surviving dreadnoughts were scrapped after WW2 😐🇬🇧
At least there is a bit of room to move there. We toured the USS Silversides (WWII Submarine) over on the west side of Michigan. Holy wah, how they put 100+ crew on that tiny boat is beyond me. The "Machine" shop was in the torpedo room. It was some drill motors, hand saws, and a lathe...The lathe was a small "Sebastian Lathe", probably a 6"x18" (at best). CRAZY. I highly recommend touring that boat if you ever get the chance. Over the 4th of July they fire up the engines to keep them in operating order. Wanted to make it out for that (but didn't).
Hello Clarke, what a fantastic tour you had. Particularly interested in the boiler room, familiar with that type of burner, as a company I worked for in Adelaide, South Australia, used to sell a similar item (jet tubes and spray nozzles) to the Australian Navy, until all ships that used them were scuttled to provide reefs for marine life.
LOL Clarke - USS Iowa - made in Iowa. A great video Clarke and thanks to the tour guides for a special look inside this magnificent piece of engineering.
Fantastic video Clarke, I have never been aboard a navy ship but would like to take a tour such as this. My Dad was an electricians mate on the USS Laws, a Fletcher class destroyer in WWII. They were call tin cans and seeing this ship makes it easy to understand the difference between a battle ship and other smaller ones.
Probably going to be mentioned by other folks too, but I must recommend the YT channel of USS New Jersey. Beyond the recent dry dock videos where you can see the underside, they have a massive library of other videos inside the ship. Ryan has done all sorts of things ranging from being inside one of the main engine steam condensers, to in the void space outside the armor where it ends (full thickness shown), to inside the rotation machinery for a turret. Watch enough of those videos and I can guarantee you wouldn't get lost in there.
Thank You for sharing this absolutely informative video about an awesome ship with us! Awesomeness Extreme!
Thanks for sharing enjoyed
Thank you,got a lot out of the tour ,former submarine sailor and powerplant operator
👍👍👍 Thank you.
Great tour. Was on the deck of the Missouri at Bremerton and saw the Iowa from a distance in Suisun Bay. That's it. Good as it was, I was hoping the tour would get to the machine shop. Wanted to see Keith trying to stuff the machines into his pockets.
I've toured both the USS New Jersey in Philadelphia and the USS Missouri in Pearl Harbor, both Iowa class battleship. I'd still like to see the Iowa and the Wisconsin someday.
Thanks for sharing 👍 Now you know why I served on submarines.
It’s about 120f in the firerooms underway. When we stood watch we were under fans.
