    I was thinking it was about this guy.

    Steve Fossett (born April 22, 1944, in Jackson, Tennessee) earned the rank of Eagle Scout of the Boy Scouts of America as a youth and is a United States millionaire and adventurer. Fossett made his fortune in American financial markets but is best known for his three circumnavigations of the Earth, as a long-distance solo balloonist, as a sailor, and as a solo pilot.

    What can I say guys?

    I am really good at spelling bad

    top end $1000.00 "taps" can be made of forged stainless but I have never scraped one.
    the taps in the video are actually called "dirty brass" cause there is usually zinc or chromium coating.
    there are polished brass ones with no coating usually really old tho or for a garden tap.

    453 ish light bulbs to a lb i weighted that one it was a gram.

    I will film my next washer/ dryer tear down. it is literally 5 min. because I don't take anything but the motors and wire.

    maybe first a laptop'

    end cutters and a pair of channel locks easiest way to rip the brass off the end or you could use a hatchet.
    I do have a bod of brass / copper that I "up"

    i like the hand tools idea, but i cut through two opposite sides of those fittings in 5 seconds with a grinder cuttoff wheel. they fall off with no effort.

    also, plated yellow brass by me is not dirty brass, even if its chrome plated, they pay clean price. maybe something worth checking out. i dont want to see your film-making budget fall off because you got beat for a few bucks on that brass.

    I'm telling about that light bulb! Also could you do a video on an electric pencil sharpener?
