IrelandA spare for the spare gets sixtyfiveford's welding treatment
A cracked aluminum rim becomes a second backup wheel in the workshop's busiest video right now.

Story of Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Cracked wheel
The first weld isn't quite the end of the job. In "Cracked wheel," sixtyfiveford mounts and inflates the tire, finds a small leak, then returns to the repair before checking it again with soapy water.
The rim has sat unused for years. Now it gets TIG welding, a session with the angle grinder and a deliberately modest assignment: "This is just a spare for the spare." He explains that he has left some welded edges thicker for reinforcement because welding can weaken the aluminum. The little leak needs another localized repair before the assembly is airtight.
No new uploads arrived this week, but that workshop outing, posted just before the week began, is the channel's busiest video right now. Older projects are picking up views too, including "Use ANY battery Platform on ANY tool Modification" and "ROADSIDE treasures Scrap Metal vs Fix." The latter comes with a clear statement of his repair-first outlook: he considers scrapping wasteful and says none of his roadside finds will go to waste.
The channel added about 220,000 views and 1,000 subscribers over the week. Its current daily viewing is below its usual level, though subscribers have grown. Among nearby DIY channels, Chris Garage78 had a particularly substantial weekly audience, while Dainty Diaries drew almost the same weekly views as sixtyfiveford. Here, the useful new detail is decidedly smaller: a pore in an old wheel, found and sealed rather than left for the scrap pile.
