      I recommend using wood glue when screwing the chair together. Depending on the stain it could seal the grain so the glue doesn’t penetrate the wood. If you aren’t using glue I don’t see any problems.

    I bought one. The first day, it had a chipper knife come loose at full throttle, and it slammed into the flywheel housing, sending the machine cartwheeling across the yard. It was quite impressive to watch! It fractured the crankcase in 4 places! Tazz replaced it with a 900 series. It's just as weak as the first one. Anything above dry twigs and pinecone is a struggle. It's not worth the $500. Might make a fair go cart engine, though.

    Oh my buddy. I’m sorry but Please research this stuff before you end up hurting yourself. Everything you do you are learning I guess? So showing us what not to do? You aren’t getting anyone to watch like or anything. Whats a going on? Perhaps that tells you something? Why bother with video. And editing? Do it for you. And save time by leaving the camera or iPhone at home. I think the reason no one around is a you are kind of all over the place. No niche. No consistent subject Matter. And you have no experience in doing anything you are doing much less knowing anything about capturing it in video for utube. If you want these for your kiddos later on perhaps I can understand that. Make them private on utube. Unless you just like doing it. But capturing video takes the extra time and trouble for what? I’m at a loss here. Perhaps I’m wasting my time too. These are not all that entertaining either. I keep falling asleep. God bless.

    • @wibblywobblyidiotvision
      @wibblywobblyidiotvision 5 місяців тому

      No it doesn't. Electrolysis converts the form of the iron oxide, but does not attack non-oxidised metal in any way. Vinegar eats the rust, and then it eats the metal underneath, and it eats the good metal faster significantly than it eats the rust. Leave a piece in the electrolysis bath too long, weeks even, and it will come out dimensionally stable. Leave it in vinegar too long (and you don't know how long is "too long") and it will come out pitted and significantly undersized. If you somehow need a purely chemical reaction, you want citric or phosphoric acid, both of which are chelating agents and do basically the same thing as electrolysis.
