Another Excellent instruction, the only thing I could pull you up on was not wearing Steel Toecap Boots instead of those rubber ones

Haha I thought about editing those out but it was like 35 degrees out that day and let's just say the viewer was lucky to even get coveralls

Agree, and I should really know better. My first job in the collision repair industry I was lucky enough to work for a shop manager that made compliance a top priority. With frame jobs it was common practice to strap the car down, and have a couple thousand pounds pulling on the frame from various rams while hammering away at the kinks. If a chain came free and you were in its path, you could lose an arm or worse. Became second nature to wear all the gear, and I picked up some good habits

That same shop I worked under a painter that was near the end of his career. I probably don't need to explain why, but after that experience, I became very keen on keeping paints and solvents away from my internal organs. The hazards weren't officially acknowledged, but anyone who'd been near a booth could see what a lifetime of exposure looked like. At the same time, while silicosis was well-understood, I can't remember many journeymen bothering with dust masks when blocking

You're right though, I'm probably being a bit cavalier with toe safety. I'd probably miss them if they were gone

Hey, I've always been one to move at my own pace - could be why I never earned a cent in industry!

Here's part five, ya nag

Well they're far from perfect. Could probably shave a couple more minutes off and the audio isn't great, but I am just a hobbyist after all, so glad you're enjoying them

Just wanted to say thanks for putting this series out there. While they may not be perfect, I thought they were very well done: well paced for the most part and the camera work was a lot better than I would have expected. The script writer deserves kudos, as well, for sticking to the advertised subject rather than making the producer the subject.

Thanks, again!

Glad you like them. We'll be getting to reassembly soon so filming that should be a fun challenge. I've got a mind like a goldfish sometimes so odds are I forget a critical step at some point. Feel free to roast me in the comments when I do
