    Just watched it and enjoyed it. I would like to get one of those blast cabinets some day. Just to do some small parts so I think the Harbor Freight one that you have will work just fine for me. You didn't say what you're using for media. Is it glass beads?

    Thanks for watching,
    That cabinet was $400- a 20% off coupon, I would find a used one on market place/craigslist, or make one. I am thinking of making a bigger one using this one as parts.
    I use black beauty blast media from tractor supply, I tried the walnut shells from Harbor freight, it was not course enough, for my low pressure.

    Thanks. I knew that it couldn't be very abrasive when it didn't remove the decals. Are you planning to do any riding videos?

    At some point and time yes, I have access to 500 acres near by, I just haven't taken the time to do it.

    I do not know where my post went. perhaps I did not post it after typing?? anyway, I watched 2 parts of the 200e into the 200x. And I am enjoying watching them. I did something different than what you are doing for the rear brake. Have not done an electric start but have made 3 "auto x's". The best one actually had a 185 motor in it. you go further and deeper in what you are doing though. Your vids are educational and helpful.

    Update! I found my post on another thread. I had not realized in my tired early morning mind that there was more than one thread. LMAO. Love your stuff. Thanks sir!

    Thanks Wild200x,
    I am still trying to find my groove, My videos are too long, I know but I feel that, to really show someone how to do something it takes time, I can't stand some TV shows/videos that just tell you they did something off camera.
    It's a hard balance for me, I know I talk to much, I would like to think I am speaking to people who may not have a lot of mechanical experience, I received an email from a young fella, who doesn't have a father, and he is on his own fixing an old atc. I want to have a channel where I can share what I know from trial and error myself. I am no mechanic, and have no formal training. My 9 to 5 is about as far from a mechanic as you can get. I was touched by his email, and I hope I have been able to help him out, I know there are several generations of young people who don't have a fathers now, or they don't have anyone in the family that is mechanical. My dad taught me the basic's, that's all I know, I would like to pay that forward.

    I am really a behind the scenes kind of person, This is a whole new world for me, I just opened a Facebook account for the first time 2021 at the same time YouTube and Instagram just to promote the videos, I have stayed away from social media as long as I could. I hope one day I can get the "entertainment" aspect to shine on the channel as much as the teaching part otherwise, I am not sure how successful I will be.

    Over all I am growing, I don't have anything to compare it to, I gain about 5 subscribers a day and I just passed 15,000 views with a total of 333 subscribers in 4 months.
    Thank you for watching and I am glad you found it useful.

    if someone is interested in the content, the vids are not to long. To me, they are to short. I anticipate the next one on this build.

    Thanks Wild200x,
    I cut my cable tv cord last year, I went straight internet based programming, a few apps for the family Disney and Amazon prime, I watch things that I am interested in now (mostly Youtube vs what just happens to be on at the time. I save $107 a month leaving dish network and using two apps, my internet is cable and fast enough for 4k if I choose it, it also helps when uploading video, I built a specific computer for my video editing, its nice but still can take 25 min to compile a 20 min video in 1080HD, longer for 4k about 40 min. upload is longer as well almost double. (sorry nerd talk)

    Thanks for the compliments, there are moments when I am goofing off, like talking about the blown speakers, and making Bob Ross jokes, I think would make for a much more entertaining video (believe it or not, I am kinda known as a funny guy). I mean come on, a mechanic trapped in a morticians body, how could I not be.
    I have to work on the balance between humor, education and getting something completed. The channel is growing, I will surpass 400 subscribers this weekend and 3k watch hours, it has really ramped up in the last few weeks. I have finals this weekend and then I am finished FOREVER no more school, I hope to be able to devote more time to the channel. I think there is a place for a small ATC channel on YT, there is some competition, but nothing that focuses on as much ATC repair as I do. As fun as it is to watch someone else ride along, or talk comparisons, I feel there will always be a need for sound mechanical repair advice and tutorials. I am just trying to carve out my niche.

    Thank you all for watching and supporting my newest endeavor.

    Do not change anything. I like the blown speaker talk in there. lol also the high speed times while dismantling. Also, a 4.5 inch grinder is my favorite tool as well. You are a mortician? Strange that I would read that today of all days. Had family in town this week. One of my little brothers funeral was today. Been home an hour or so.
