Hi Jim. Keep your angle grinder at a 45° angle in this way your cutting blade will be round at the edges. In this way you can cut a circle... 🤠

Jim. To cut a circle with a angle grinder, keep the grinder at a 45° angle. In this way your disc will be round at the edge which will make it possible to cut a round circle. 🤠

It was a great idea that worked, and it's interesting to see how you did it with Tori. It just has to work. Gentlemen, no work is too difficult for your wife and she always knows how to help herself. Jim, you can be happy to have such a great comrade☘️💫👍🤩

Nothing says fellow Canadian more than Home Hardware gloves :)

I chuckled at the borrowing with Ted 😄 good to know it's not just our family. Great video learned something new. I can only imagine the sweet smells.

We started with 10 buckets and 3 stock pans. Built a barrel evaporator like yours and went to 50 buckets. Then went to a small evaporator and 250 buckets. We love it. Hard to find a product you can make from beginning to end. About 25 gallons a year. Love the video. take care and stay safe, Al

Wow, that’s a big jump up from the barrel stove. We definitely enjoy it too and have a decent number of maples here. This year we boiled down 69 imperial gallons of sap. I think we did that in about four days.

I made syrup for the first time this season on the same set up; 4 gallons, not too bad. Best tip I had was to line the bottom and sides inside the stove with firestone/brick/rocks etc. 1 - Protects the barrel for longer use 2 - Redirects heat towards the pans 3 - Burns less fuel

Tori is like Rosie the riveter. You rock Girl. Nice Delta Blues going....rock on. Hey Jim, the two pieces you cut out for the trays will fit nice inside for the wood to sit on. Just weld some legs on it. Nice project, wish you had smell-a-vision. Bet that sap smells good.

The ol’ SKILL grinder...the best $20 I’ve ever spent. I’ve had both of mine for more than 10 years and they are both still going strong! I burnt up a Dewalt and Craftsman professional grinder in less than a year and a half. I set up one grinder with a cutting disc and another with a flap disc.

We have thought about that gravity feed idea and it’s totally viable! We use a thermometer to tell when it’s done but some people, particularly old timers , just dip in a wooden spoon and when it drips off twice but the third drip never falls off, they pull it off.
