As a resident of Austin, I never thought I'd hear a Canadian call something "Texas cold"!

Beardsman's head never turned faster than it did after you mentioning a roasted pig! Look forward to the build, God bless.

You gave the best advice that welder could give- just start trying. Buy yourself good machine and start trying. That is how I started and now I know how to weld.

Watching your videos makes 30 mins feel like 3!!! Could watch this channel all day!!!

Thanks for the info on only using premium gasoline in small engines. Very useful.

Apparently to clarify.. make sure the premium doesn't contain ethanol... In Canada generally the premium doesn't contain ethanol.

I was a Kubota dealer for 8 years and our business has been in business for 32 overall years. You won’t regret foam filling those tires and yes they are worthy. You ll be surprised at the weight it ll add also. But those r4 tires are definitely worthy. It’s basically a solid tire once done and will have to be cut off when it wears out which honestly it ll dry rot before it’ll wear since you’re not on pavement 24 7.

Green slime works great.

If I could offer a suggestion or three... Line the inside of your firebox with firebrick. 1" should be enough. After a while, the burning will oxidize the metal and cause it to rust and make holes. That's going to weaken the box which means your pan might deform or break it. (We make maple syrup too) Also... put a flat piece of metal from about the middle (lengthwise) of the firebox angling up towards the chimney... You'll have to custom cut it for your box... This way you'll get more even heating in the pan and you won't need a fire along the entire bottom of the firebox... just the front half. Also, you'll probably want a grate a few inches (up to 6" depending on your preference) off of the bottom of the firebox to stack the wood on which will allow for the ashes to drop through for easy removal. This will also let air get to your fire, which will make it burn better.

@@jingocat6920 I just go for it. Well, usually I ask my husband to do it and he procrastinates, and then I go for it. Get yourself some tools and start with a small project. You would be surprised how little muscle you actually need when you have the internet to tell you how to do stuff. Half the battle is learning how to measure properly on odd cuts. The screwing together of things is the easy part. Don’t be afraid to fail, because you will. When you do fail, don’t beat yourself up over it. Recognize you had a learning moment and move on. That is my sage lady builder wisdom of the day. Now get some of those ideas off of the paper. Edit: my suggestion for beginner tools is a drill with a small set of standard drill bits and a cheap kreg jig set, an impact driver with a small set of standard impact driver bits, a circular saw, speed square, measuring tape and a rotary sander. You can build a lot of stuff with that, and Father’s Day is an excellent time to find deals on all that stuff.

Great comment Gwynne! You are so right. I have a good set of tools and can borrow others. It’s getting out there and sometimes asking for help when I can’t swing it solo. Your husband comment made me really laugh. I had a very, well-meaning husband who once took 5 hrs to complete a picnic table-from a kit. Result: the seats were upside down. I quietly fixed them later. Another time, he blew up my car battery trying to clean the terminals. That was something. This is a really good channel, isn’t it? Makes you want to create!

Cool. A good brain is not exclusive to men or women. Mr. Kevin has superb visual skills and a clever imagination. You must have talents too! Gwynne gave good advice about getting going.

Looking forward to next time to see the completion.

Your last comment was a SUPER ONE. Imagine after Maple Syrup Season is over. The shack will remain dormant until the next season. How about on the tombstone weld a rod holder connect a rod into to the very end that has a steel H design in the front where the wood is fed. Install a electric motor. Now the evaporator stove can be a rotisserie for a pig or deer to be slow cooked over a wood fire. Sounds very tempting.

hi Kevin, AWESOME!!! its really starting to take shape!! be safe, stay warm, thank you, bill

One of the best channels. Great job saving the tractor from the tree.

I used to watch when you and your brother made maple syrup, you guys made a lot, and your brother would do the canning, it was great to watch! 😊👍💕💕💕

Yes, maple syrup mmmmmmmmmmm ! Don, has that good fire going as always

I should make one of them. I've got two huge Maple trees and have always wanted to try to learn how to make maple syrup.

Love the videos. Keep it up! Could you do a video touring all the cool things on your property? Like a compilation?

"Cool Tool Time" You gonna give us some "Tim Taylor" segments? You already have a Don to be your Al

This video had it all, comedy, drama, danger, adventure and a pup! I'm jealous of the throwing knives, those things are epic! An idea for the next build could be an outdoor kitchen. I know you have a pizza oven, a smoker, and a cabin. BUT, just think of it huge grill, with interchangeable surfaces, a propane fueled mini fridge, a big chest freezer you can lock to store shelf stable food (and not feed the wildlife), some cupboards for dishes, a bar counter to sit at, stainless steel countertops to clean the kill and disinfect after, a pot rack, and all under a pavillion with extra seating and a table on the side. Put the throwing knives up there instead of darts... sound like fun? ✌💜🐖💨 (Btw, my mom loves your dog)

You guys are endlessly entertaining! Don is great... we should all have our own Don!

Dude I always have a appreciation for the stuff you build. I’m still looking for a a junk water heater. I found one on the road the other day but someone already stole the burner.

The set up of evaporator was fantastic 👏

Wow, great progress! So much work! Glad your friend didn't get hurt by the tree. You come up with some awesome ideas 💡! All the best. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family. "Throwing Knives" "It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt"! Don't stand so close guys! 😁

Texas Weather! 😜 This - 6 degrees fahrenheit is more fun to watch you in it than to experience first hand. Glad mother nature remembered to take that back to Canada, it was a nice 75 Degrees today! ☀️

I’ve made 2 same design, one for my son and another for a friend. They are an awesome evaporator. I also built one for my 100litre cast iron pot, that one lays on its side. Good job

Got me hankerin for some buckwheat pancakes. Been awhile since I had those ... Ever put maple syrup on vanilla ice cream ??? Thanx for lettin us hang bruh !

Yea, when I was watching the first video in this series and they were fiddle-farting around with the sliding board I thought that was smart. Then part way through I saw the kabota driving around and I realized they were probably going to do better if they could get the tractor in there and pull the trees down with it.

Good thing the bucket on the tractor was lifted up cause that would have HURT if it landed on Dwayne's head. Bean is a cute little doggo. One day I hope my puppy is that well behaved. I'm thinking Chris might have an inner pyromaniac. ;) I love how you repurpose 'junk' and make cool stuff with it.

We used foam filled tires on 5 yard scoop trams in an underground gold mine in northern Ontario in the early 2000s and they were the best tires ever used, they were recapped heavy equipment tires that were run 24/7/365. I know this as when the tires were finally finished due to the mining environment (Quartz and general rock) usually sidewall tears, it took several 'days' for the foam beads to finally exit the tire, all the while as the scoop tram was operational, that's my opinion about foam filled tires from what I witnessed.

I’m 10 minutes in an looking forward to seeing the evaporator come together. I have been wanting to use a 265 fuel barrel for years. My wife and I purchased 40 acres in northern Wisconsin several years ago and we’re finally ready to concentrate on syrup!!!! I don’t even know why because we literally only have pancakes about twice a year!!!

Do it! I'm currently boiling. It's a very early start to the season this year. I'm still using this design going on two years. Works great.

I saw one video that a guy cut down one of these oil tanks and made a wood burner stove for his garage. I think he had it 3 or 4 ft long. He used Heavy 2" pipes running threw it from front to back and a barrel stove door. Same some of that tank if you can for a wood stove. WOW, its a wonder that did not catch on fire when you where cutting it open. May be you should get those tires Foam Filled to prevent flats. 40 gals. of sap to make 1 gal. of maple syrup.

Your absolutely right about the gas and oil for a saw! Ahh I build a shed today it was pretty fun.

Plasma cutters are ace, the make lightning!

Been waiting for you to release your new video just like your brother, keep it up man

A little throwing knife advise. You are out in the woods. Paint your throwing knives bright orange. They will be easier to find on the ground in the leaf litter when you miss or they bounce off at a crazy angle

Glad to se a new vid, spring just got to Sweden. Hope ur having a good day

Chef Don. Cooking up projects in the bush👍🏽. What’s next?

Very entertaining channel

That tank reminds me of the tank my grandmother had for her house. It was filled with fuel oil, and she'd burn it in her stove (not a cooking stove, but we called it a stove; more like a free-standing space heater) for heat in the winter. That oil inside could be old remnants of that kind of oil, or just about anything.

Holy Cow, Man, my know it all brother was right. He's said for years to only use premium gas in small engines. He also says there were two shooters on the grassy knoll, we never walked on the Moon and Elvis ain't dead.

Another great show

only use premium in your small engines yes, but you want to try and find ethanol free 91 octane as ethanol can turn to water if stored for long periods. and get your front tractor tires filled with calcium chloride it adds weight and helps to prevent flats.

Dwayne wouldn't of been laughing if that tree smacked him on the head, he's one lucky fellow. btw the chunks that you grind off the metal from the plasma cutter is called slag.

Nice one Kevin, its looking good. :)

Awesome man , I love your channel , and I follow your brothers as well

I also put the first couple litres in the truck before filling the jerry cans with non-ethanol premium fuel.

That was a great episode as always . When the tree came down on top of the tractor all I could think off is where is his hard hat lol . To many years in the oil patch lol.
