Hi Keith, having quite recently spent over 100 joyless hours on painting in my efforts to restore my house, I was particularly delighted with your musing about things one does albeit there's no fun in them. It never struck me so far that this may simply be part of being an adult, but I guess you've hit the nail on the head! Many thanks for all the content in your channel. Your highly entertaining videos really excel! Cheers Carsten

Wow! I was grunting for you when appropriate... good on you Mr. Rucker!

I feel ashamed of myself that I kept imagining some kind of Wile E. Coyote moment while I watched Keith stretch that giant rubber band tire around the wheel. If that tire came in a box marked "Acme", I wouldn't have touched it with a 10' pole! Glad it came out OK with no injuries!!
-
Good lord.... I got a workout just watching you put that tire on.
-
That top wheel is beautiful. The change is remarkable from start to gorgeous.
-
I cant wait for Jimmy to come and pick this up just to see the look on his face!
-
Man, I was itching to run in and give you an extra pair of hands with that tyre!
-
Looking good Keith!
-
I'm so proud to give you a thumbs up, Brother! Great video and a great job!

Hello Keith myself and my wife agree your looking slim good on you my friend regards Alan and Ella from the UK.

Hehehehe! "It's the adult thing to do." Unbelievably wondrous work you do, Keith. Love it.
-
Better and better!
-
Thank you Keith!

To all that are unaware, when you are applying tape that is temporary in nature, if you bend the last half inch or so of the end over onto itself, either on the roll, or where it's applied to, it will facilitate easier removal, as it makes a pull tab. We use this technique at work in preparation for power washing equipment or surfaces, or for painting.

When the tire slipped off im not sure "shoot"would have been the first word out of my mouth.πππππ

Hi Keith. Watching you bring the bottom wheel back into shape was like witnessing poetry in motion. Your attention to detail was enjoyable and satisfying to watch. Thanks, also the way your gantry so gracefully raised, suspended and manoeuvred the heavy wheel into place was great. Thoroughly fascinated by the whole process. Thanks again.

My first thought when I saw your plugging those holes over the bolts- You might have ground out a dish in the ends of the wood plugs with a dremel and a drum sander to get deeper engagement of the plug around those dome-headed bolts? esp on some of the really thin ones? Also: Watching you wrestle that tire, How you manage to do that kind of work on Camera without cursing is impressive! when that tire popped off it would be a whole different video had it been me... WELL DONE SIR!
