" DIY" done southern boy style. Creative repairs, outdoor projects, homemade hunting gadgets and more. I'm just an ol' southern boy who loves being outside and the challenge of designing and building things. I grew up watching TV shows like "The A-Team" and "Macgyver", and was fascinated to see how they made things from what they had available. Whether I'm hunting, fishing, building or repairing a deer stand, working on my land, or making some kind of interesting gadget, if I'm outside or in my shop, I'm happy. I draw inspiration from KZread videos of people doing these same sort of things, and that's why I decided to start this channel. I want to document my future projects and some of my past ones for you to enjoy, and hopefully inspire you to do the same.

Good tool & useful for gardening 😊nature
Thanks for watching!
Well done sir 👍
Thank you!
I don't think there's a 100% way to stop water from penetrating, if you run into some stagnant water problems sitting in there over the years you might want to unseal the bottom of the lower side of the riser to allow water to drain during dry times to kill off any growth or bugs.
I figure most of the water that does get in there will just drain on down into the tank. Just wanted to keep as much as possible from getting in there. Thanks for watching!
Hats off brother May the creator bless you and your family 🙏💪
Thank you! Many blessings to you and yours as well. Thanks for watching!
I may or not go that big for my cover but I enjoyed the heck outta watching your project.. thank you
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
I absolutely loved everything about this video. Definitely gained a new following and subscriber today!
Wow! Thank you!!
Great work and an awesome person!
Wow! Thanks! You’re a pretty swell dude too.
Nicely done, can't wait for the next video
Thanks!
Thanks for the awesome job on their kitchen, and for the awesome video!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks again for this great video. I got the same unit and set it up as per your instruction, but for some reason the unit only ramp up 25 HZ when on-board pot is all the way up. I'm running a 208-volt 3 phase ,1750 rpm motor for an exhaust fan. I set it for 4 poles per the chart. any ideas would be appreciated.
Check parameter PD072. Several others have had a similar issue and PD072 had to be adjusted. It controls the upper limit for your HZ when using a pot for speed control. PD073 will set the lower limit. So for example, if you wanted the motor to run at 20hz with the pot turned all the way down, and at 60hz with it turned all the way up, then set PD072 to 60 and PD073 to 20. Hope this helps.
This is great. Could you tell me what that valve stem is called? Is it fine to run those without a tube? Im in a predicament right now and i thight i would have to order a new tube and do the whole proceedure. Can i just keave the old tube inside the tire? I dont blame you if you dont ant to answer all these questions but God bless if you feel like being a tire counsellor.
Try searching "air liquid valve stem", you should be able to find what you need. These particular stems are for tubeless tires, so if the rim and tire are rated for "tubeless" then you should be able to forgo the tube unless there is a hole in the tire or rim. It probably wouldn't hurt anything if you left the tube inside, but if I were replacing the valve stem, I would go ahead and remove the tube while the tire bead seal was broken. Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Great video, thank you! I'm wondering if it will have to be reprogramed if power is lost...also, I'm using it in a barn to run a fan in summertime, it will be off all winter. Will the unit be damaged when sitting through winter in cold ambient? Thanks again.
The unit does not have to be reprogrammed after power loss. I turn mine off every time i leave the shop and it works fine after turning the power back on. I would take measures to protect the unit from moisture, dust, and critters. Not sure how the cold in a barn would affect it. Thanks for watching!
@@southerningenuity4458 thank you for that information. That is helpful. I just ordered mine yesterday thanks to this video
@@willpartin622 Let me know how it turns out.
@@southerningenuity4458 Thanks again for this great video.

Rubbed up against a downed log that was close to the road and it snapped off my tire stem. I heard the air coming out of it and my heart sank. I took off the mower and limped it home to the barn, jacked it up off that poor tire and thought, now what? I'm new to a tractor and don't have all the knowledge or equipment to do all the maintenance myself, but I'm eager to learn. So I went looking for how to change a stem on a tractor tire and found your video. First thing I said was where'd he get that bead breaker? I never saw one before and that thing is slick! I also never heard of putting water in your tires, only the oil they offer to put in at the dealer when you buy the tractor (for one hell of a lot of money)! I passed on it but kind of regretted it because I sure could use a lot more ballast. So why do they put oil in tractor tires instead of water? Seems like it might rust or something? I'd love to hear more about that if it works because I sure could use more ballast on my tractor, and if I can just fill it up with water that would be fine with me! How do you know how much to put in? Then I assume that you just put additional air in to get it up to the right pressure? Hey thanks for making this video. I learned a lot!
Wow, I've never heard of putting oil in the tires, but I have heard of putting beet juice or windshield washing fluid. Perhaps the oil is heaver than water? As far as the water causing rust in the tire, I'm sure it will rust eventually, but I have never seen a rusty tint to the water in my tires, and they have had water in them for over 20 years now. When you put the water in the tire, rotate the tire until the valve stem is straight up top (12 o'clock position). Jack the tractor up to take pressure off of the tire and remove the valve core. (You can buy those water addition adapters at Tractor Supply.) Connect a garden hose to the adapter and turn on the water. As the water starts to fill the tire, it will start to compress the air that is still inside. You will need to turn the water off periodically and bleed the pressurized air from the tire. Make sure to do this often to avoid over pressurizing/exploding the tire. (My rear tire lists a max operating pressure of 20 psi. Standard household water pressure can easily be 40 to 55 psi). Keep doing this until the water gets up to the level of the valve stem. You will know the water is above the correct level when a steady stream of water comes out while bleeding the pressure. If so, let the water continue to bleed out until it gets below the valve stem and air starts coming out again. Then reinstall the valve core and pressurize the tire to the correct air pressure. If you live up north where the temperatures get really cold for long periods of time, you might want to consider putting antifreeze in with the water. (That's another challenge in itself. When I replaced the stem on my other tire, I poured a gallon of antifreeze inside before they resealed the tire bead. Then I added the water when I got home.) Hope this helps. Thanks for watching!
Excellent video! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Can you use one of these VFDs to run a 3 phase appliance, like a cooker or heatpump?
I'm not an electrical expert, but my first thought would be, yes, if configured correctly. It would probably require more than what I covered in the video, especially with the heat pump cycling on and off, and the cooker varying temperatures. But, I just can't say for certain, so you its probably best to seek advice from someone more experienced with those types of applications. Thanks for watching!
Bookmarked this video a while back for future use, and I'm happy to say I picked up my first 10/22 on Father's Day. Thanks for a great instructional video - you're a natural teacher. I hope you've been able to get out with your friend!
Thank you, I’m glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I am in the same situation as you. I bought this kit when HF still sold it, and like you see it is no longer sold. I plan on installing my kit on my compressor ( 60 gallon vert just like yours) very soon. Like you, i planned on using copper tube for the install. Yours was a very well executed install that i intend to copy as much as possible. You have lived with this now for a while. Can you give a progress report on how this is holding up? Thanks for the video, i think it is going to help me greatly with my installation.
So far it's done really well. After reading your comment, I cracked open the manual valve underneath the automatic valve, and only a few drops came out. The unit doesn't run a lot, just cycles on and off occasionally as I use the air. I'm only in the shop for a few hours a week, so it doesn't get as much use as one in a busy shop. Thanks for watching!
Well done sir, thanks for taking us on the journey
Thanks for watching!
Excellent content, pace, level of detail. Went through a lot of videos to get to this one! Thanks!
Thank you, and thanks for watching!
For us city doot da doos that dont know any better... why do you fill your tires with water?
For extra traction and counter weight for stability. Thanks for watching.
Very cozy vid
Thanks for watching!
I was involved in building both the Series 1 and Series 2 Bridgeport mill and what is in this video is a Series 1 with a 2J milling head.
Really? I thought the series 1 had the smaller table and column. This one has the larger table and column like the series 2, but has the 2J head, thus making it a series 2 special. It even has “Series II Special” on the side of it. I’m confused. Thanks for watching.
@@southerningenuity4458 Hi, the Series 1 had a 42 or 48 x9 inch table available, The real Series 2 machine table size was 58 x 11 inch and also had a 4 hp head. Either way it looks like you got a good machine.
Why the irritating music !!!
Why not just turn the volume down? Thanks for watching!
I already have an RC car... or 2 - was thinking about this tonight and googled rc car and coyote call and you popped up... Thanks
Awesome! Be sure to let me know how your project turns out, I’d love to see it. Thanks for watching!
Im still confused on where the white wire coming from the 220v goes
I'm not an electrical expert, so this may not be "technically" correct or "proper" electrical code. But basically, in normal household wiring (in the USA), a 220v circuit does not need a neutral to function correctly, but a 120v circuit does. The white wire from my breaker panel is not connected to the VFD. It is connected to the 120v outlet in the bottom of the VFD cabinet. (Both the 120v and 220v circuits must have the earth ground for safety reasons.) I used the 14-3 wire so I could supply everything associated with the milling machine with just 1 double pole breaker, and only have to run 1 wire. This saved time and money. The toggle switch on the side of the VFD cabinet is double pole. The red and black wires come from the breaker panel and connect to the bottom side of the switch. They continue on, from the top of the switch, to the VFD. I connected an additional black wire to one of the top side terminals of the switch and ran it to the 120v outlet. So, when I turn the switch on, 220v goes to the VFD and 120v goes to the outlet. I needed 3 insulated wires to run the 3 phase motor, so the 14-3 wire was also used to connect the motor to the VFD. These wires probably should have been color coded yellow, orange and brown because it's a 3 phase circuit, but I had enough of the 14-3 wire left over, so I used it instead. Hope this helps, and thanks for watching!
Great job as always!
Thanks!
What brand swivel suds do you recommend and where did you buy them . Thanks for the very informative video 👍
I don't remember what brand they were, but you should be able to buy some at Walmart or your local gun shop. They're not expensive, and pretty much any of them should work for this type of application. Thanks for watching!
Very good detailed explanations. I was stuck on the amps x 1.73 bit too. Also if my house is 240v 10amp common AC electricity do i get a VFD with 10amp input and 15 amp output? First i ordered the 7.5amp input and the 10 amp output. My motor is rated 3.7 amp about. Side Note: The VFD look the same as the VEVOR ones being sold by VEVOR and on AliExpress as well, i hope these instructions turn out to be the same to follow.
The reason for multiplying the Full Load Amps by 1.73 is to make sure that the drive's internal components will be able to handle the load demanded from the 3 phase motor that is being supplied from a single phase source. This is because the drive itself is being supplied by only 2 lines of single phase power that it must then turn into 3 lines of 3 phase power for the motor. This is called "de-rating" the drive, or "oversizing" the drive. So, if your 240v 3 phase motor has a full load amp rating of 3.7, then multiply the 3.7 amps times 1.73, which gives you 6.4 amps. Your drive should have a rated output of 6.4 amps or more to adequately supply the motor when it is pulling it's full amp rating. Keep in mind, the 1.73 rule should work for pretty much any brand of VFD when being used for converting the single phase power into 3 phase. Oversizing the drive won't hurt the motor. I can't speak to the program parameters for other brands of drives, as this is the only one I've ever used. They may or may not be the same. Hope this helps, thanks for watching!
Ok thanks for explaining that. I get that bit clearer now. Seems I should of kept the 7.5amp input and 10amp output VFD drive, would been about right. What i was curious about particularly was if my mains regular house electricity is 240v 10amp supply to the VFD was over its rated input of 7.5amps is that too much for the VFD.
To make sure I understand the question, do you mean: "Will a 240v, 10 amp breaker be too much for a VFD that has a rated output of 7.5 amps?" If this is what you're asking, then no. The VFD should only pull as much current as it needs, up to its rated output. The 10 amp breaker will supply up to 10 amps if needed, but if the circuit draws more than 10 amps, the breaker should trip to prevent damage or overloading the wiring that could cause a fire.
@@southerningenuity4458 You got it. Yep, thats what i was curious about. Arrrr so the VFD only draws as much as it needs being 7.5amps in this case. I was thinking because my house supply electricity is 10amps it would break the VFD or something. Sorry for confusion, i just don't know how electricity gadgets work that well. What I've ascertained from you answers is i made a mistake even sending the VFD i purchased back for a return, i never even received it i just asked for a return before it was posted and it would have worked, but i will buy a bigger one if reordering as i heard you say and have read before that it doesn't hurt if rated for more amps for also if i get a bigger 3 phase motor in future it will be future prove for that too. This current motor being an induction motor 3 phase and 1400 RPM and 1HP or so and i hope to get 2300 RPM at full throttle for 1000 counts (revolutions) the motor may not have enough torque to spin the VE Type Injector Pump that fast . Its a test bench diesel pumps i am diy building.

Неудачная модель . Так изделие ради процесса.ручка не удобная под 2 пальца , открытие "клюва" тоже не удачное . Узкий спектр применения - на малых площадях и легкие песчаные почвы.
Yes, it could use some refinement, and building it was a learning experience. If I make another, I'll definitely improve on the original design. It was meant to be used in well tilled soil, otherwise it would be near impossible to get the seed below the surface. Thanks for watching!
Same comment as jas20per. GREAT! The best video I have watched on programming this VFD. Can't thank you enough!!! I found the information works with the Nowforever VFD.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!
This if funny shit ... Doing everything wrong
But, I think I spelled everything right. Thanks for watching.
Brother, Hydraulics is a GREAT thing!! Another AWESOME video!!!
Thanks Lee, be sure to check out the full length version too.
Tree directly in touch with concrete, and down into the earth? I am o expert at all, but to me that seems a little bit like asking for the tree to rot, doesn't it?
Possibly. But it is a pressure treated post that is completely encased in concrete from about six inches below it, all the way up to the floor level. There is no direct contact with the dirt. The ground is hard packed red clay that tends to shed water rather than absorb it. Eventually it will probably rot, but I think it will be good until long after I’m dead and gone. Thanks for watching!
@@southerningenuity4458 (English is not my native language, so bare with me) When we build something of concrete here, we tend to put something in between the wood and concrete. That is to protect the wood from humidity that somehow arise around the concrete/wood junction. It may be less needed with pressure treated, and maybe if you are in places with very dry air it isn't as susceptible. I'm just a little puzzle and I see many do this in these videos. I'm considering doing this too, but I won't take the chance as the air and ground here is VERY humid. Thanks anyway. I am asking to learn and I am far from a pro.
@@spiff1003 I'm definitely not a pro either, and it probably would have been better to put something around the post. I can't go back and fix it now, so we'll have to see how the holds up. I have put treated 4x4 posts in the ground with cement around them as well. Some have been there more than 20 years and are still solid and strong.
@@southerningenuity4458 If you live a place where it is mostly dry soil, then maybe that is not that much of an issue. I live in the worst conditions for rot, near sea with a lot of humid air, and little time to dry up except during summer, so I wouldn't dream of doing it this way. Hope it works out well for you.
grate job. cood a guy put a revolver mechanism underneath tha seed container to push a seed down the pipe, without havin to manually put tha seed into the tube?
I’m sure it could be done. Maybe I’ll incorporate that into my next one. Thanks for watching!
