A rainey night in Olga

[GB SISSON]

I made this video tonight in my shop. I don't really understand how to post them, but I have done a dozen or so by trial and error on youtube. This video was like 3 minutes plus. I sent it from my Iphone to my email and from there I downloaded it. The email had cut about 30 seconds off the end because it was too long. I went to youtube and downloaded it from my 'downloads'. It's a pretty fun video (to me anyhow) but I can't get the whole thing on and the way it's chopped off at the end kind of spoils it. Am I going about this wrong? For instance, all the photos I post on the barn I send from phone to desktop and pick them up from there to post on barn. Keep in mind I LOVE old stuff like hit and miss engines and of course the fords but have no real interest in the new technology but really fun to share, and I get that.

Edit: I sent the original Iphone video to my kids by text and they got the whole 3:43 so it is intact somewhere. I know it's lame , but I spent some time getting the video to end at the same time as the song....only seemed right.

Hello GB.
I connect my phone to my computer via USB. The phone has to be turned on and unlocked (if you have to unlock yours)
The phone appears as an external drive.
Then just copy the files from the phone to the computer and in my case I edit them and produce a new file, which gets sent to youtube.

Any help?

Mart.

Wow GB ! Sorry that you don't have any flathead stuff .... ! Boy do I love that Jail Bar Woody. Thanks for the neat video. mike

[RKS.PA]

Gary, that's a great video....however you posted it!! Yes, you have a fine collection of flathead stuff...enough to keep you in projects for quite a while!

Your woodworking is beautiful...just in case you didn't know. Very impressed when you opened the back door....seamless!!!

GB, Now I see why there are vary few 8BA's around the south Puget Sound area. You have them all! hee hee Loved your video and the music made it perfect. I hope to be up your way on the boat this summer. I would like to stop in and share some story's. Tim

Gary,
I like the shop tour and the music! Thanks for taking the time to shoot this and post it. I dont seem to have fast enough service to do much of this work. Shows nice progress on your new project! And gives us non jailbar guys a glimpse into your world.
Regards,
Chris

GB, congratulations on the video, it turned out well. I like your shop also, a place for everything and everything in its place.

[Bill]

Great video! I always like a tour of a working mans' workshop/mancave. I'm waiting to see how you are going to incorporate that Mercedes grille at the 37 second mark into an upcoming project.
Thanks for the entertainment on a winters day. Bill

Thanks Mart, Sounds wery direct and easy I will give it a try. When I did all my photos with a cannon camera, I did just that... Hook to my computer with a USB cord. And thanks to all you 'barners for the nice comments!

[deuce5wndw]

Great video! Thanks for sharing!

So, Mart and others, I connected my phone with USB and the window came up and showed a connection and the phone was a 'device'. But I have no idea how to copy frm my phone and paste onto the computer. I have tried many ways to put the video on my desktop or downloads or the 'cloud' with no luck. After re-reading your post I think I need to know about the copy thing. Like right click stuff?

[Mart]

On mine I do this.

I connect the phone and turn it on.

It asks me what I want to do with the usb connection and I select "File Transfer".

(yours might vary)

I can then see the phone on my computer.



I then click on Internal shared storage.
Then I click on DCIM



I then click on Camera



I can then see the video file(s) and can then drag them to an appropriate folder on my computer.



I then go to youtube and can send the file from my computer.

I imagine you can do it direct from the phone but have never done that. I always edit my stuff first so it has to be on the computer first.

Hope this helps. Your folder names and locations may be different.

Mart.

Thank you Mart. I will try that in the morning when my brain is fresh!

Ricky Skaggs, You can't hurt ham

[mfirth]

Always liked Ricky's music just like Jail Bar trucks ...... works 4 me

[Tudie 36]

Great video, music and one hell of a fishin truck!

[banjoQ]

Thanks for the video tour of your shop! I have admired your woodie project since it was a work in progress. Now I am suffering a case of workshop envy. The music track had me thinking of Reno and Smiley at first. Rickey Scaggs sounds about right too. He was influenced by many of the old timers. Good for you, you’re a lucky man.

[corvette8n]

Hey Gary thanks for the tour, I liked and subscribed your video, watching for more.

[GB SISSON]

Once again, thank for all the nice comments. Thanks to Mart I think I have the correct full length video on my computer. Problem is, for some reason I have two youtube accounts now. My original was 'garymtpickett'. It has about 12-14 videos going back maybe 8 years and 260 something subscribers.
My last 4 videos, the spoon-honed kingpins, the H six running and this latest Rainey Night are all on a new channel 'Gary Sisson'. It has three subscribers (thanks guys!) and those new clips. I can see my old channel by searching for one of it's videos, '1947 ford one ton panel' for instance, but when I click on the icon for 'create' anything new still transfers to that new guy, which is also me. In the old days I would have looked up old 'BJ Google' in the yellow pages, called him and asked him to switch a few plugs on the switchboard and get my old channel back. I just don't see that happening...... Any Ideas? Mart? I just want my old channel back.

[KDL]

Thanks for the tour! Great shop.

[JWL]

Awesome old Wood Wagon. Love it. And fishing gear is a bonus. Now, with walls and floor space filled, what next? In my case I usually have to clear a place on a machine table before I can use it. A friend told me the mistake a milling machine makes is having a flat table.

I don't know about the channel, Gary.

Try this.

Go to your homepage (dashboard).

Go top right and hover over your avatar and the word "account" will appear.

Click on it and a drop down menu will appear. One of those is "switch account".

See if the other account is listed there.

Mart.

[APDAVE]

Nice shop you have there! lots of Flathead parts too! thanks for the tour. Dave

[Crankster]

You know, this is going to sound strange, but while watching the tour I was thinking one thing that can't really be demonstrated on a video too well is the garage/shop combo. It has to smell great! Lumber, pine pitch etc., + 90 wt gear oil and general Eu D Flathead Parfum, that combo has got to be invigorating.

Aromatherapy!

There are many smells (aromas) in the red shop. Years of woodwork and all that you have mentioned and more. I love the smell when the torch meets the penetrating oil. Favorite is MMO, followed by PB Blaster. I just need one little puff. (I can quit anytime I want). This shop was built in about 2002 to supplement my cabinet shop as I added a few more employees. I had a table saw, a planer and most of the usual woodshop equipment. I always left the right hand bay open for truck repairs and 'restoration'. No woodworking allowed there. Well, as you can see the truck stuff has slowly taken over the whole shop. I am down to one employee, my son, and he is usually willing to stay after the work is done in the woodshop and turn some wrenches, wrestle a transmission, start a hidden bolt into a dark recess or do some welding with his steady 27 year old hands.

[Crankster]

Wait just a goldarned second. Marvel's is OK. I can identify with that.

PB Blaster !!? Blech!

Are you familiar at all with Ballistol? *whistles* Mixed 50/50 with water is great as a corrosive powder solvent for firearms, also as leather & wood preservative. But it reeks to high heaven.

Never heard of it... a 'corrosive powder solvent?' not a term I recognize. I like the smells of most of the oils when hot, even one of my old diesels starting in the shop is ok for a while, but I draw the line at gear lube. A badly toasted rear axle is the worst.

A few years ago, someone posted a picture of a transmission with the top recently taken off. I complained that I could smell that stench through the internet connection!

[Crankster]

Yeah, Gear Oil is baaad stuff, odor wise. But at least a touch of it is probably unavoidable in any garage worthy of the name. I read somewhere Whale Oil was formerly used in transmissions or gearboxes going way back, and this was especially ripe.

Ballistol is a miscible mineral oil for use in cleaning firearms that used corrosive primers or blackpowder, on the principle that salts dissolve in water, not in oil as such. Modern cartridge firearms don't need cleaning the way the old school guns did. It works well but smells really bad like old dirty socks or whatever.

I always joked that it "Attracts the ladies". (They'll come out to the garage and say "WHAT THE HELL IS THAT SMELL!!?") LOL

[sugarmaker]

I had smokin hot PB blaster aroma tonight in the shop as I wrestled with 32 Ford door hinge pins. Did you know you get extra points if you have a can of PB blaster in the picture? Yep state law!
