So since I'm seeing a trend of Uh vehicles around here that seem to be from the Great White North that have some Rust I Thought it best if I went ahead and invested in one of these guys. You guys know what this thing is. I will show you compressor powering on Okie dokes First things first, let's make sure that fitting that they gave me matches my existing fittings. and it does.
So that's a that's a bonus. What I'll do is while my compressor is filling up, come out. let's get this fitting installed. This is a pneumatically operated tool.
That means it's run by air. Tighten this guy up real quick. I Don't know if these things if they vibrate or if they rotate I've never operated a needle scaler before I think they just vibrate or something. but basically what we do is we depress our trigger right here with our Air Supply and the tool is going to go to work.
and then if I let's have a rusty cardboard box I can run this thing on the cardboard box and it will remove the surface patina located on set box. so I uh I don't think that these rotate and they will move around. but I don't think it's designed to do that mosquito. but I don't think it's designed to do that I think that when you depress the trigger, it just kind of vibrates back and forth and these things just shake around a bunch.
As soon as that compressor's done, we'll fire it up and check it out. So uh listen, while that thing's uh doing what it does, let's go into the office real quick. I Want to talk to you guys about something? Let's shut the door because that compressor is loud. Okay, here.
pull up a chair, let's have a seat guys. let's all have a seat in my office. Oh, that's funny. Even in times of of unhappiness I'm still over here making jokes.
All right. Number one, This is kind of weird because I'm staring at my phone and it's looking at me. Um, kind of nervous to kind of go through this. It's almost.
They'd rather do it on a live stream. Tell you the truth. that might be easier. Uh.
anyway. I'll I'll just get on with it. Um, so last night I was messing around with uh with some of the YouTube features. Um, let me back up.
There is a YouTube feature called Channel memberships and um I have members on the channel they pay? Yeah, I consider it like a tip. Dog Chip jar. There's that compressor I consider it a tip jar just like the Patreon account. Um I Always have I opened both of those because people were asking me to.
they wanted to donate for a break, lean or to pay the rent or or do whatever you know they wanted to help support the channel and and the stuff that I do. And last night I um I got this bright idea that since there's like a hundreds I think 168 channel members I got the spread idea that I would uh post videos early to them like right after I upload them and I made a post about it and I said you know I was gonna go ahead and do that for the channel members. basically they did it the night before I released because I post my videos at like 6 a.m um in the mornings. so I figured it would be nice for everyone if I gave those people um a six hour early window because we're not all on the same schedule. some people are waking up in Moscow and some of us are going to bed in in Boulder Colorado so I thought that was going to be, you know, just a win-win situation and you guys got really mad at me for that. Some people did, um a lot of insults, people called it greed and it just kind of hurt my feelings. and today I'm having a really down day over the stuff that I that I read I actually took the post out and I was it just turned into like this Echo chamber of of of hating on the whole subject. um it's not pay to play like I said folks were there anyway they wanted to be there I never asked anyone to be there and to join the channel membership program or um, uh uh or the Patreon account for that matter.
and I just uh I don't know I'm just I'm having a hard time dealing with the that kind of response because it it kind of hurt my heart a little bit. I just I Guess they say the it's no good deed goes unpunished. Um so for the folks that I offended, um I apologize I never intended to do such things anyway. that's enough.
uh, rambling for me. um if I offended anybody I apologize for that. it wasn't my intention I was just trying to, uh, just trying to use some of these new features that are showing up and um and and I kind of got bit by this one I Hope you guys I upset can forgive me and I hope that um, you know you at least watch this video. So I have the opportunity to explain my position on what happened.
So uh, that being said, let's go back out in the shop and play with that little tool. Sound good? Thanks guys! Well now what do we do to the needle scaler Where'd I leave it I lost it. Where are you toolbox? No internet? Yes there it is. Found you All right? let's go play with this thing.
I happen to have a pile of Rusty Parts over here in the corner and uh I see very very Rusty Parts look there's some rusty Jeep parts and uh I think that's from an equinox that I know came from New York yeah we can. There's all kinds of stuff we can use. Uh, use this tool on. let's check it out.
So listen 100 this is gonna be loud noises. Let's dry fire at first see what happens. All right got it? I wouldn't put my hand on that side but they don't rotate. Let's try it out right here.
Oh hang on. Well it's no paint ready surface but it uh it does. Clean up all that scale. let's try it on.
uh let's see this. Rusty Backing plate right here. Let's try this. All right that's cool.
That's the cleaned up side. This is the the nasty flaky growth side. I Like this tool, this is A we're gonna get some use out of this. It's loud, it does a really good job.
Wow. all right that's cool All right. I'm pleased with this. I got this one on eBay Um not gonna make a link not this time. All right guys I'm going home. it's about 5 30. I'm done here I'm gonna I'm gonna head out. Thank you guys for watching this short video.
Hope you accept my apology. uh I hope I brought uh some clarity to the situation and the re can stop because that that hurt my feelings a little bit. Um anyway you guys have a good night again. thanks for watching.
Have a great day. end of transmission all right now I Just need to find a home for this guy. Where's he gonna live? I Don't have a lot of air tools anymore. Most of them are electric.
Uh yeah, you know what? That'll work right there with the oil filter cups.
NEVER apologize to these snowflakes (no matter your age) that doesn't know how to accept how the real world works!
Your time is valuable, if they can't wait one freakn day to get your content, then that is on them.
They are just jealous they can't claim to be FIRST COMMENT, which NO ONE CARES ABOUT! or something.
Your patreon members should get the same benefit or maybe the ability to get personalized diag or repair suggestions that you can look up in All-Data or Mitchell or whatever you have.
Sadly I can't pay to be a member or patreon, as I'm on limited fixed income but I'm also not going to judge you for just trying to pay your bills.
I used to be a tech just like you, school trained, ASE certified and everything, I know what you are going thru.
They are just being cheap, are you supposed to diag and repair their cars for free next? HELL NO! that diag software costs how many $thousands a year?
You need to be able to recoup at least some of that.
Go F yourself for those that have a problem with this… OR FIX YOUR OWN DAMN CAR WITHOUT GUIDANCE!
go ahead I'll wait and laugh at you when you turn up on YT "Just rolled in"
Those are the funniest!
Are they going to feed you or your family or pay the bills on your shop?
Somehow, I doubt it.
i dont think you needed to apologize!
Good luck rainman on all your endeavors you're awesome…
I haven't subscribe to your channel or anyone else's. I watch your channel because I find it interesting and informative and I enjoy what you put on it. Keep going as you are and egor the idiots who find pleasure in complaining about the content. Never feel bad about bad comments but feel really good about the good comments
Ray, sometimes squeaky wheels don’t need oil… THEY NEED TO JUST SHUT UP AND STOP DEMANDING WHAT THEY DIDN’T EARN; Or simply get replaced!
All that said, you owe nothing!!! You’re one of the best mechanics I’ve ever found and I wish to God you weren’t 10 hours away from me because you’d have my Silverado for a front end rebuild and other various services!
Anyway, that’s HUGE of you to humble yourself, be the bigger man and apologize for something you didn’t even do wrong! Keep on cranking, you and your family are awesome, make sure you keep family cries and laughter before the YouTube whiners and do you man.
Remember most of us we’re just fine and likely didn’t even catch on!!! The squeaky wheel somehow always gets the oil… funny how the squeaky wheel is only 10-30% off the total value! 🤔
Best of luck, Ray and family!!! Y’all are amazing and very much appreciated by your communities as a whole! 🙂
You will never please everyone.. Do not take it personal, but respect for the apology and thanks for the great Content. Keep up the good work 👌💪👍🏻👏👏👏
No apology required
I can’t believe some people get so nasty about something that is none of their concern…. If members want to help u out it is only fair you show your appreciation to “Said people” with some kind of reward of your choosing click😉
Ray. No apology necessary. It's your channel, play with the accessories as you feel. Always gonna be snowflakes that get their feelings hurt over a piece of rust in the eye (frontier). Imagine 25-30 needle guns being worked on a ships hull, and you're inside. 😊😊 Do your thing.
First of all, no apology is necessary, and secondly and most importantly the way you handled the situation speaks volumes as to your credibility. Keep up the great work, you have done nothing wrong 🙂
Your not that great of a mechanic dude, just hang it up
Dude you have nearly 500k subs. You have to realize the percentage of people who are being shitty about it. It's very small. Keep doing what you're doing man. Reward the tip jar people, they're helping you out and any true fan realizes that.
Not a member, but i do enjoy your content from time to time.
There will be haters no matter what, and if you want to give something back to the patreons/members, add them in a thank you scrolling text wall maby?
Or release videos earlier for them.
I will sub now cause I love your chan man
I'm not a subscriber I know i should be but any bad crap you got are haters f^%$# them bro
Get the money for your work. It's 6 hours to watch it at the regular time
Ray, I enjoy your videos and I think that the generosity of anyone helping you out is worth a kind gesture. Keep up the good work. Don't let the pettiness of internet numbskulls get you down.
lol as a 20 yr Navy Sailor.. I am Soooooo familiar with the Needle Gun.. sooo much ship paint removed
I strongly recommend using a whip hose on air hammers and needle scalers as the linear vibrations travel right into the air nipple, causing wear and early failure. I have seen the nipples break off right at the pipe threads. I have used whips on all my air tools for 50 years including impact wrenches, ratchets, die grinders, drills, even blow nozzles. I have replaced very few nipples due to wear.
Keep being yourself
we will still watch your awesome content
Awesome content and and even better host to the channel. Keep doing what your doing, "if you post it, they will come" lol. Can't make everyone happy but there's no harm in trying, you keep running YOUR channel and all of us who truly value the content for what it is, and you better believe all of us will be ready to tune in to the next video.
There will always be shit birds out there, dont let them get you down. Your a decent guy with good intentions if they can't see that then you dont need them around. keep your head up and moving forward.
get use to it, there are @ssholes everywherte. As you probably already know:)
Internet rule number one – never apologize.
It's your channel. If you want to post availability of the videos earlier for your members that is a cool thing to do. It's not like you aren't posting the video, you are just doing it earlier. You have the right to do that and it's a way of showing your appreciation for those who directly support you. I enjoy your channel, keep up the good work!
That new tool looks like it could be very useful for rapid fire tappy-tapping the subscribe button
Mr. Ray, you cannot please everyone all the time. You do your best, and sorry you were down, but move upward and onward!!
You are a man among men, don't forget that. God Bless…
Interesting tool, thanks for sharing.
You are having more problems finding tools then in the old job. 🙂
You..Kindness,Good intention
Them..Ungrateful Piss ants
Fu(% em,you keep being you..
There are many brave soles behind a keyboard using wicked words. I Like what you do. I Like your humor. I Like watching your videos. I am not in the business of fixing vehicles. I Enjoy your videos. Keep doing what you do best.
No worries sir of some one is paying for a premium product they should get a premium product I can't pay for that and am glad that some do that helps you keep a free product for me so thank you
Don't apologize. The other You Tube circle I follow it's very common place for creators to have "members only videos" and "members only live streams". Some even go as far as having a live stream but only allow members to chat. You do what you want, if people want to support you then they deserve to get something even if it's a little thing like you wanted to do.
To be honest Ray there is no need for an apology of any kind,I've learned from past experiences that you can please some people some of the time but not all the people all of the time .And your doing a great job I've learned lots from watching your videos so from the UK please ignore the haters and have a great day 👍
We call them ticklers and dude you do you people don't like it they don't need to watch
I'm not a member or anything but I can't see the harm in giving thanks to the people who do support you by giving them a small head start. You do you. That apologie was well said tho !
Every Navy sailor that's had to chip paint knows that tool as a "needle gun".. like you said it's kind of like an air hammer that pushed the needles out in short strokes to chip paint. Very noisy below the deck being chipped. Don't know what you use but we used welding rods when the needles got too short, which takes a long time. Happy chipping.
It's a needle gun. Place the tips against the surface and it it vibrate to remove rust.
def gonna get that tool, i might not need it, but i want it
Like they said in Hoboken New Jersey don't worry about it
Use that needle gun straight up and down. USCG taught me how to run one of those.
I say F them. Always someone mad they don't get something for nothing.
U should post ur videos early for the ppl who pay u bro anyone who disagrees need to go ram it up their salty asses. You done nothing wrong u gotta make a living and ur not doing anything that another YouTube page would do. I say it’s a good idea don’t read into all the comments man some ppl are just saddests you rock ray much love and respect from tulsa ok ❤🤘🏼
Ur a good dude man nd a good tech just rock on f ur haters
Haters will hate. It’s sad how a person can do all the right things and still be treated like junk. As the old saying goes… “Consider the source.”
It's just the entitled generation. They think because they "tip" you some money via memberships, that you owe them something, or that they own you.
While they sit behind their keyboards, grabbing their participation medals, screaming REEEEEEEEEEEE at coloured dots on a screen.
The sort of people who can't understand how their parent(s) failed them.
Plenty of people are morons. During "That time" in 2020 I was doing livestreamed gigs where people could donate if they wanted to, but it was free for all to listen to my music. I'd get messages every now and then talking about how greedy that is, as if I was forcing them. The only reason I started doing donations is because, like you, people wanted to support. Anyway, point is; plenty of people are morons. Do your best to block them out, they aren't worth your time.
I didn't see it or know about it but I'm still watching today. There's a lot of people like me that don't even know what you're talking about don't forget about us man you're still the same guy as you were before that. Just saying and thanks for all the tips man I actually use some of them
you dont need to apologize….this is your channel and you can do whatever you want….the information and fixes you show is awesome…I want to come to Florida just so you can work on my truck….
whys doing that such a bad thing
I would love my car taken on camera, knowing you shop would be cool..
Knockin' off the rust and the DUST. Spoke your peace, now moving right along. Hang in there!
I think posting early to members is a good perk – wtf is with people.
No apology needed if you ask me it's a thank you to all your supporters and they deserve it. The haters can hate and hopefully get out of this channel with great support. To me no matter what you do its great and fortunately because of my schedule I watch your videos about 2 or 3 weeks late so I would have no benefit butt to all that support you I think they deserve it. Thank you for the video and opening up to us in the way that you have.
Sorry for haters or cheapskates. Paying for the channel has some privileges. If they can’t wait a few hours to see a video of educational or entertainment value, they can make their own or go watch opra wnfrey or The Five with whooping goldburg. 😅
Greed is a hell of a thing
It is your channel and you can do whatever you want with it. Never hitch your wagon to others, especially those going in a direction opposite of where you want to go. Meaning? Ignore the haters and all that negativity, just be yourself.
You do not need to justify to strangers why you make the choices you make, it is your baby.
You will be happier if you step to the beat of your own drummer.
Your channel is successful and that will always anger the envious.
Can people give money so you can bless some retired person or a single parent Mom who needs car repairs?
F#@$ 'em, we're either gonna watch you or not and I'm 100% behind you getting some money if you do. The comment sections of all these platforms seem to be the bottom of the septic tank of society. Videos like yours have saved me more than I can even calculate. I apologize for the assholes that made you feel the need to. FTR you don't need to. Most "creators" pass the proverbial plate every single video multiple times. 10-4 Roger wilco over and out.
Ray I too am old and a retired physician. I so enjoy watching your channel! Please do not be upset re the stupid 2%. Listen to your heart ; there was nothing done wrong hence no need for an apology! Keep the faith!😋
I know I'm late on this as I was away for the holidays but I agree with a lot of sentiment below, there are people who seem to take great joy in attacking people. While many said that no apology was necessary I still found it refreshing to hear, "hey this is what I did and why and it didn't work out the way I thought and I'm sorry". So often those words ring hollow these days but yours did not , especially to those who have gotten to "know" you through this channel. You are correct in that I don't remember you ever intentionally steering viewers to the YouTube channel membership or Patreon accounts. I am a Patreon member who has chosen to support your channel because I enjoy the content, not because I feel pressured to do so. Please remember that for every hater out there, there are 10 of us at least willing to lend some support. End of soapbox transmission…
I dont think you are supposed to angle that tool, it works way better at 90 degrees
dude you DO NOT owe an apology for that….those people are dicks. do you man, dont let people tell you how to run your channel!!
I like your videos everybody is gonna cry about something maybe not everybody but a lot of people will cry about nothing do what you do buddy if you make a few dollars off of giving out your wisdom so be it and if people wanna cry because you wan to give it to somebody that wants to pay early so be it You never be able to please everybody Please start doing more diesel 6.7
It’s a needle gun used the from years in the military
Don't apologize. I would love to be a monthly member but I can't afford it…. I can also see giving those people something for their continued support and a head start on viewing content is 100% appropriate for them.
Many creators either have subscriber-only videos or special, longer/outtake videos for their patreon/YT subscribers. Something as small as a early release for your paid subscribers is totally reasonable. It makes me sad that some people would get you upset like this.
The ones that got upset probably don't realize that they can watch the same video, over and over and over, after you upload it. They just want the early access without paying for it. You don't have to apologize, you were just trying to do something nice for the people who choose to support you monetarily, you weren't bribing people to send you money. There are people who will get offended over every little thing that everyone does. Try not to let stuff like this get you down. Some people act upset just to ruin people's days. You have plenty of supporters who love your content and support you in whatever you do. The trolls are on everything because they are paid to be. We have to bankrupt them by ignoring and blocking them.
Honestly… No need for the apology…. To be honest if people on any channel is a SUB and Willing to donate to a specific channel then you thought you would do something nice… Honestly no need for any apology… In my opinion I would like to know Y people had an issue with that idea…. I like that idea….
I hate when my cardboard boxes get rusty, I’m glad you showed me this tool that I can fix the problem so easily 😂
That tool works better at 90° Ray
We used similar for breaking up set concrete in mixers 👍
ignore em bro, do you. theres ppl on the internet that just want to hurt/troll others. the real ones know and understand. keep up the videos.
Use your descaler end on, not on an angle, it'll work much better. No need to apologise, you'll never please everyone, just do what you do naturally.
The first one of these I saw was on South Main Auto! Never seen one before. Cool! Sorry to hear there are some out there are offended. You didn’t force anyone to pay anything. The scaler looks like it does a great job and will save lots of wire wheels for the rough stuff! I honestly think some folks OWE YOU a apology, Ray. (Just my opinion) Keep doing what your doing!
comment. and, happy new tool day 🙂
I sold auto parts for 15 years. Some people wake up looking for something to get pissed about. 🙄
I feel bad 'cause I'm not able to chip in on my favorite channels. (You're my newest fav.) I only get $50 spend per month, the nursing home gets the rest.
Now go fix something. 😆
Unpopular opinion I guess but if people want to pay to see em a little early to support you but it's in no way effecting content for the rest of us I don't see the issue
Omg it sounds like your firing your YouTube viewers
Don't listen to the haters Ray. You're doing a good job 👍
Hey Rinmann, I think your supposed to be flat on the head of the needles with that rust grinding tool. No offense. I could be wrong.
Tell the cryers to suck it up!! They aren’t entitled!
You shouldn't apologize, if people are donating to help you out you shouldn't feel guilty about returning the favor and wanting to give them a benefit of helping you out…
I bet the issue they have with it is that it seems that you are holding back on some, rather than giving videos early to some. If the video is done and uploaded, it could just be released. Anyway, I have no dog in this fight as someone who doesn't really watch your content.
Many youtubers does that, release early! Dont listen or read those comments that are bad 🙁 Take care and you are doing a good job! Greetings from Sweden 🙂
Used a needle scaler over 40 years ago in fab shop work. They are handy for peening welds to relieve stress too. Yes hearing protection should be used with this tool.
That sounds like people just wanting a reason to hate. Seems like it was a legit idea.
Some channels you never see the creator(s) respond because there is a lot of hate in comments. Sometimes not responding to them is best. You do a great service and shouldn’t worry about the rude people.
I wouldn't worry about it myself, we are after all only HUMAN, and can do so much to please people. You explained what you were trying to achieve so there. Some haters out there need to check out their own "armchairs" in la la land before accusing someone else of something.
Ray…there are so many Fu*cked up people now…..Some wake up every morning just frothing at the mouth 'ta HATE ON SOMEONE because they have no meaningful life of their own…..Ignore them. Unfortunately the social media platform has become a weapon more than an asset to our society…..End of transmission….
I wasn't there for what ever happened but you know you can't please everyone all the time. There's always gone be some "YAHOO" who gets the "feeling's" hurt. My grandma told me to pull up my big boy panties up and get over it. So ya don't sweat it bro. You seem to be a good person, from your show Is what I think. So Moving on…..,
FYI When you use a needle gun you need to use it straight up, not laying down .
I feel ya man.
You cant please all the morons all the time
Hold that needle gun more perpendicular to the surface your needling away at. Maybe you figured that out already.
No apology needed. Great channel. Happy New Year!
If it ever occurs to you, buy a rotary flap disc like the metabo drum style. It can be really helpful sometimes.
Needle scaler, very important tool for heavy surface buildup. Second only to a carbide tipped die grinder.
You do you ray, and i don't have negative things to say about what you do ever for whatever that is worth.
Have no idea if this is even legal?
Dude, you were doing something nice for those who are nice to you. I'm guessing those who objected aren't members. Nothing to apologise for
Thanks!
You got nothing you need to apologize over
brother critics we all get, dont worry about it.
its part of life crits help to correct and compliments to keep good work and motivation…
keep your great job up :p
