♻️ NEW VIDEO: SCRAP TO RAILING!

What looked like a pile of leftover lumber from demolition jobs still had plenty of life left in it. Instead of throwing it away, I turned it into a beautiful deck railing!

In this full 32-minute build, I’ll take you through the entire project from start to finish and show how used lumber can become something useful, attractive, and worth being proud of.

🛠️ Some of the tools and products I used are linked in the video description. Shopping through those Amazon links helps support The One Eyed Neighbor at no additional cost to you.

Here's a question for you all;
Would you have saved this lumber—or tossed it out?

🔧 **The Harley-Davidson 3-Hole Fluid Change shorter and corrected video is now available!**

The original upload developed a serious audio problem—several chapters played the wrong audio tracks. I wasn’t comfortable leaving it that way, so I went back, corrected the audio, and made sure the complete tutorial was clear and easy to follow. To my subscribers I sincerley appreciate your understanding and letting me know about those audio errors.

In this video, I walk through changing the engine, transmission, and primary fluids on my 2021 Harley-Davidson Freewheeler—and share a very important tip before you drain that primary fluid!

If you watched the earlier version, thank you for your patience. I hope you’ll check out this corrected shorter edition!

🔧 NEW HOW-TO VIDEO! 🔧

Is your Toro TimeCutter mower deck getting the maintenance it really needs?
September 2026 will be starting with a great How To video for your Toro Timecutter or anyone with "non-serviceable" spindles.

In my newest step-by-step video, I’ll show you how to perform essential deck maintenance on a Toro TimeCutter zero-turn mower with a 42-inch deck—including cleaning, inspection, lubrication, and the important areas you don’t want to overlook.

But I’ve also included a BIG BONUS:

⚙️ I’ll show you how I turned non-serviceable mower-deck spindles into fully serviceable spindles by adding grease zerks!

That simple spindle upgrade could help extend their life, reduce wear, and make future maintenance much easier.

If you own a Toro TimeCutter—or nearly any mower with “sealed” spindles—you won’t want to miss this one!

Watch the full video, and let me know in the comments: Would you try this spindle upgrade on your mower?
