Toms DIY ShopIn this video, I go over the root cause of my Epic Fail when the attic lift fell and what I did to fix it so it won't happen again!!
I know Epic Fail videos are fun to watch, but we can learn something from them as well. Seeing what other people designed or what they were doing with the Epic Fail happened educates us on what NOT TO DO, if we were going to try and do something similar.

#Fail #SmallShop #DIYShopChannel UpdateToms DIY Shop2023-09-05 | Although it has been a while since my last DIY Video (with the exception of my pool cleaner rebuild), I have been capturing some events over the past 2 1/2 years. As you'll see in the video, my Mother's illness, our fight to get her well, and her passing...was the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in my life and now, two years later, it still weighs heavily on my thoughts and my heart.
But, like I said, things are getting better...I'm getting better...and I'm trying to learn to not dwell in the past, for there's nothing I can do about it now and I know Mom would not want me to feel this way.
In this video, I very quickly, via a video montage, go over some of the big DIY projects that I've worked on over the past couple of years to bring you up to speed. As you can tell, we've moved to the country. We wanted a little more privacy, a little less noise, and a lot more space! We love our new home and have really enjoyed getting into our "country" vibe...although my wife has evidently gone "All In!" with her cowgirl boots, hats, started horseback riding lessons, and even got a horse...Luke!
My new DIY Shop space is a major upgrade from the two-car garage in our previous home and I have a lot of ideas on the design and layout that will maximize the space and provide the best work flow...so stay tuned and check back often, the frequency and quality of the videos is about to increase!!Pool Cleaner Not MovingToms DIY Shop2023-08-26 | Recently, my Polaris Quattro P40 pool cleaner stopped working. After making sure the pumps were running and water was flowing from the feed line, the next step was to take a look inside the cleaner itself. In this video I trouble shoot the reason my pool cleaner stopped moving and determined the parts needed to put it back into operation.
Being made almost entirely out of plastic, many of the internal mechanical parts were showing signs of excessive wear and much sooner than I would have expected for one that's only been in use for a few years. I also noticed there were areas within the pool cleaner where dirt or sand had built up, as well as inside mechanical gear boxes on both sides of the cleaner. My only assumption is that the dirt and sand have accelerated the erosion of the mechanical parts, acting almost like sandpaper.
I researched the parts I would need to replace the worn equipment and get the pool cleaner moving again. I was surprised to discover that there are no full "rebuild" kits to speak of, so I had to source most of the parts individually...which was mostly Amazon. This is NOT an inexpensive fix to problem of the pool cleaner not moving, but it's not an inexpensive piece of equipment to begin with...so you were probably already aware of that. Also, you may not need to replace as many parts as I did...you might just be able to install a new drive shaft and you're back in business! Take a look at each component in your pool cleaner and decide which one(s) are most critical and/or in the poorest condition and just replace that!
I hope this video was helpful if your pool cleaner stopped moving and gave you some ideas on what needs to be replaced / repaired in order to get it going again!

The new deck construction is done, all of the sanding is done, and I added FIRE!!
I picked up the balusters at my local big box store. They're 3/4" aluminum tubes powder coated black. The gas lines running the fire bowls are just 1/2" black pipe. I put them on the lathe and sanded them down to 600 grit for a super smooth finish and then spray painted them with Rustoleum black semi-gloss so they'd match the balusters. Flexible gas lines under the deck connect back to a propane tank in a custom deck box.
Next is paint and accent lighting!

#vanlife, #welding, #smallshop, #ninjamotel, #legionofzoomShop Tour - Full Shop In Half A GarageToms DIY Shop2021-01-12 | Welcome to my Shop Tour Video! In it, I go over all of the major components of my shop and how I squeezed a table saw, band saw, miter saw, welding table, dust collection, storage, clamps, etc., into less than half of a two-car garage, leaving more than enough room for lovely my wife to park her car.
The Shop Tour features many of my tools in some sort of custom configuration that mobility and full functionality, so I don't have to struggle when I'm trying to create!
Everything was designed and built to ensure full use / functionality of each tool and enable quick setup and put-away so I'm not spending more time moving equipment than I am making DIY magic!!
I hope you enjoy the video and take away a few ideas for your shop. If you have any questions, feedback, or would like to see more detailed videos on anything, please leave me a note in the comments section and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks for stopping by! Tom #ShopTour #SmallShop #DIYShopDIY - Channel TrailerToms DIY Shop2020-12-30 | Welcome to Tom's DIY Shop...I'm glad you found my channel and hope you find it useful and enjoyable. I started this channel because I'm passionate about DIY and the journey of continuous learning, I love to build things that solve problems and, in most cases, saves me money, and...most importantly...it justifies buying new tools!!
As a career IT professional (nerd), I always look for opportunities to tech something out or, at the very least, overcomplicate it to a certain degree. My DIY skills & experience include wood working, metal working, electrical, plumbing, electronics, network & telecommunications, home automation & home security. It's a pretty broad spectrum and by no means am I an expert in all skills across the table...but that's the beauty of DIY, I get to learn from my experiences / mistakes and make improvements. That's how we learn...that's how we grow!
My YouTube journey is no different. As I mentioned, my goal is to put out useful and entertaining content for you...my YouTube audience. I learn something new almost daily around recording, editing, lighting, sound, and publishing and try to make adjustments every time I produce a new video.
If you like what you've seen so far, please "Like", "Subscribe", and "Share" my channel with your friends, family, coworkers, etc. Even if you don't like the channel (which, I can't image why you wouldn't...), go ahead and "Like", "Subscribe", and "Share" it with your contacts and then roast me in the comments about what you don't like about it. I take feedback...both positive and negative, that's how we learn and grow!
Thanks again for stopping by the channel, I really do appreciate it! TomCustom Welding TableToms DIY Shop2020-12-09 | Like many other builders, I'm working out of my home's two car garage and my wife is ok with the "shop" as long as she can pull her car in at night. That's forced me to get creative with space utilization and functionality. Since I don't do a lot of welding, I didn't want a dedicated table that would take up floor space in the garage so I designed and built a slide-out welding table using heavy duty drawer slides with a 500 pound capacity I found on Amazon.

This works like a champ!! As you'll see in one screen shot, I'm (200 lbs) standing on the slide out frame and it didn't give an inch! I did have to anchor the back of the bench to the wall so it wouldn't tip forward but very happy with how this turned out.

#Welding #SmallShop #DIYShopDeck RenovationToms DIY Shop2020-12-09 | We had this deck built around the pool when we bought the house and it looked amazing! After 5+ years of neglect due to school, it was looking pretty worn down.
I spent 17 days (full weekends and after work during the week) power washing, sanding, painting, and rewiring everything to make it better than ever!

#DeckReno #MakeOver #DIYShopEpic Fail - Attic Lift FallToms DIY Shop2020-11-14 | Welcome to my Epic Fail! I was fortunate to have the security camera in my garage capture my Epic Fail, which is what started my YouTube journey. The ironic part of this story is that I tired of having a sore back from lugging all of the totes full of decorations up and down the attic stairs and this was supposed to make getting holiday decorations down from the attic easier. I designed and built a motorized attic lift to SAVE my back but, with my Epic Fail, I ended up actually breaking it. The hoist frame and platform frame are welded out of 1" square steel tubing and it is powered by a 1100/2200 hoist motor from a local hardware store.
The fail is due to a lack of safety awareness on my part. Although I fully intend on installing fall arresters and an auto stop limit switch, I obviously had not done either prior to having the accident.
Enjoy the video and learn from my mistakes...falling 10 feet to the concrete fractured my L1 vertebrae and has me in a brace for 8 weeks. I am blessed that's all that happened...it could have been much worse!!
