0:00.0 | All right. I'm rolling. So what's new? I'm rolling. You know, are you guys watching my stories at all? I've been restoring this old drill press that I got a couple years ago. |
0:15.0 | A fan named Patrick who was a real estate broker came across, he sold a barn at an auction and in that |
0:21.8 | barn was this old drill press and he said the new |
0:24.6 | owners are going to toss it if somebody doesn't come and rescue it and he called me |
0:28.7 | and I drove out there with my cousin two summers ago and we picked it up it was huge it's |
0:33.3 | weighs probably 2,000 pounds but I figured the only way we could move it without any |
0:37.8 | machinery is to take it apart so me and my cousin broke it down completely into like nuts and bolts and big enough pieces to pick up. |
