I'm desperate and will be doing this. I guess I'll look forward to a hot mess. I know it's gonna get messy. Thank you so very much for simplifying
This is cool! We have a mango tree that gives amazing fruit and a bunch of mulberry on the side, as well as some bananas. Love eatin’ off the land.
So what I take from this is that the thein baffle is just as good but simply just needs a larger bucket! Great test and well done. Thank you for this.
That would work. Glad you found it helpful.
Pretty sure crushing it would be much easier Like with a mallot....
Hack 'n Build is back!
Stay tuned for more fruity videos!
Nice setup. What is your inoculation recipe & method? I’ve seen a few.
I don't think it's necessary to pre-charge charcoal. It will charge itself once it's in the soil for a while.
"No jigs" uses table saw
What is the material from the fire pot?🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's been a while, but I believe 1/4" and 3/8" steel plate.
Fun
that is the nice one, thanks for sharing it
Thanks for watching!
A chainsaw mill is made for milling lumber not for splitting your wood. Also the chain that comes with your chainsaw wasn't made for milling lumber, you need to buy or modify a chain to a ripping chain, it will speed up your cut and will be a smoother cut than with your standard cross cut chain.... the wrong chain could burn out your chainsaw in no time.
Thanks for sharing
Great. Thanks!
Swear I thought someone recorded me, so krAzy; I used the exact same container & used a 2/4 to crush as well lol
You should seal your diy vision and put it on top of the bucket like ypu did with the other one. It probably would do better since it is not in the bucket.
Thanks for the suggestion, let us know how it works if you try it.
Was hoping for a demonstration.....
I thought the whole process was pretty well explained, what more did you want to see demonstrated?
Good video. Looks easy enough. Thanks.
Oiling the handles? Perhaps a big of torching after oil, to darken the ends?
Obviously the other design is going to work better as the bucket fills because the separator is outside of it, and yours shares the same volume. Give yourself the same space above to create something and it'll inherently work much better.
Great idea thanks for showing us, and helping us save our hard earned cash. ive liked and subd , greetings from Wales UK .
I use the size 1 and 1/0 Mustad hooks to freeline for snook kzread.infoUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 and they have been fantastic. The points are super sharp, and the hook is small enough to blend with my baitfish, yet large enough to land fish 30" or more. I also use these hooks when I'm pier or surf fishing with my kids. They tend to catch tons of smaller snapper, whiting, and catfish, and we get far fewer gut hooks with these Mustad in-lines, which means more of them survive after release. I was actually using these hooks when I caught my friend too, but I think that had more to do with the bait I was using ;-)
It sure does suck! 😆
How is the edible hedge now in 2023?
A few more things added, mostly what's there is just getting bigger and more full.
Nice to discover your channel! ❤💕
royal oak makes pellets. no mashing up.
So a tour of the permaculture space basically, not a hedge
I made a similar one, using pipework and an ash can below. Blower comes in from the side. Then made a flat bed from cut inch x 1/8 strips within the rim and made the firepot seperately. With lugs welded to the fire pot and receivers on the base, I can use different sized fire pots for different projects, simply by twisting and dropping in a clearance bolt. Some of the pots have slots or holes to rest steel in. Additionally, I used an electric hairdryer attached to the air input, added a speed controller to the line, for control of the dryer speed. Happy forging! PS as a pro welder, I'm curious as to why you kept changing rods during the build. I used 6013 3/32 all the way with no problem. An auto darkening hood and controlled use of spot welding is your friend on thin metal. Cheers!!
Most likely switching rods because they were being used up or getting uncomfortable to hold. It got the job done.
Cheers man. Best video I found so far. Simple and to the point. I have a swarm hanging off my chimney in Ireland. I have a citronella candle lit in the stove to keep them out of the chimney. Will build one of your designs and mount it nearby and hopefully they will move in and I can give them to a local bee keeper. All the best from Ireland.
Good luck, hopefully they will like it 🤞
@@HacknBuild just finished the build here 👍🐝😎
Cannot believe it worked. Had the box left beside the swarm for 1.5 hours and they started to move in. I used beeswax and lemongrass oil as an attractor. Thanks again
All wild blackberries in California are infected with this!!
The rust is back again this year!! All wild blackberries are infected with this orange rust! What could we do to fix them? They don't produce berries anymore.
I have a piece of 3/4 inch plywood I would like to burn up. If I use it to build using these plans won’t it be different because of the thickness change?
Can is use Fogo lump instead of horticultural charcoal for house plants?
Your timer, planning and video editing are VERY MUCH appreciated! Thanks!
cut bottom off of vacuum and mount vacuum on top of larger bucket.
I thought about doing doming like that but it's too much work.
The used wheelbarrow market is saturated with buyers in my area... no bullshit... I've been looking for a free/cheap old one for a while. I already have one, but it's so old that it is starting to get too old for me to use it.
Who knew? I still haven't put new handles on that free one I found. It really needs it, it might not even be functional this year!
😊
Comparing against the 2x4 it looks like 1/2" hardware cloth not quarter
Thank you for your diligent testing. It really helps
Glad you found it helpful, thanks for watching!
Very cool! Thanks for sharing.
Great video. Pls update on how it worked
I think it's working, but I haven't done any rigorous evaluation. Anecdotally, we had a drought last year and the plants did well enough without turning on the drip irrigation.
At some point may look at a piece of regular biochar versus the bag coal and see if I can detect any differences.
I am trying to make a sort of British style ancient hedge. They used these in the past as fences with hedgelaying, which is an almost dead art. So I have been looking for different plants that can just be cut and inserted into the ground to make roots. So far I have willow, currants, and elderberry. I have more work to do, though.
It's a whole process laying a hedge like that. Interested in seeing how it comes together!
The steel probably got hard enough during the quench you just tempered at too high a temperature. I expect they would use a .4-.6 percent spring steel for this application so tempering at 250-300 f. would give you 60 hrc.
Thanks for the info!
ther is something calld a dirt forge if you cant don´t hav a welder or can´t weld you can make one just as easy just search dirt forge and you should an would be able to fins how to mke one
Great work putting this together. Hammer looked way to heavy for what you were doing! I’d say a 16-20 oz hammer would be the max for a small cast iron anvil like that. Thanks for sharing! 🔨 🔥
Great observation! It was WAY too heavy. Switched over to 1KG cross pein hammer which is perfect. I still use that big hammer for drawing out large pieces of steel though. Thanks for watching, cheers!
probably 40 dollars now...
Or maybe $140 🤣
do you have any problem with clinkers with the narrow air inlet? is there any way to get rid of the clinkers?
That's a great observation. I haven't even had a chance to use this forge though my plan was just to pull out the big/stuck ones with a hook/poker/fire tongs.
What is the aim here, fine dust collection or debris collection?
It is to separate the fine dust from the larger particles and debris so your shop vac's filter doesn't get clogged.
@@HacknBuild That doesn't make sense, all it will do is pick up some of the debris and it won't remove the sub 5 micron dust particles that cause health problems and it definitely won't remove the really dangerous sub 3 micron particles that once in the lungs stay there. It is easy to pick up the big saw "dust" debris but capturing the really small stuff requires requires a lot of air to be moved.
Great video like the use of all the scrap material
It's nice to be able to use stuff instead of throwing it away. Since I built a new forge, I donated this forge to our local smiths' association where it was raffled off and taken home by a smith who is going to put it to good use.
Thanks for the process info. I've been thinking about ways to get biochar without the ridiculous costs of buying it or the process of making it from scratch. This is what I was looking for. Hope you will continue to give us other insights and fun ideas. Cheers!
I always screw a piece of wood (1x4) to each end of the log and a board in between those two as a straight edge against the fence. No need for all that
That would work.
I know this is an older video, but well done with the tests. It scales to any size Dust Deputy they make. I too toyed with creating my own separator, needing to use a full size metal trash can. I needed 6" hose connections for my Grizzly G0944 dust collector system. After much research I came to the same conclusions and wound up purchasing the Oneida Super Dust Deputy XL. The main advantage is it utilizes the full capacity of the can it sits on without performance degradation as it fills. The bottom of the DD is just a simple funnel to the can and the can is not part of the cyclone action, just a collection bin. That plus not having to build it from scratch spending time and materials, is why I found it better to just spend the money on the Oneida (it is not cheap - $240). It works great for me.
Thanks for sharing your experience! When I made this video there were already a lot of DIY dust collector videos and I was curious how they stacked up. I'd already purchased a Dust Deputy so I wanted to see if I was missing out. The DD is relatively inexpensive and works better than both DIY options presented, so in my view it's a better option. Better to spend the time building something more useful that you can't buy instead.
Very nice video. If the blades were hardened, how did you drill a hole in them ?
This was a while ago, I can't remember the exact order that the steps were done. Likely I drilled the holes prior to hardening. Either way, I didn't harden the entire blade so would be no problem drilling the holes.
