Not horrible but that tarp isn't going to last very long. Probably would have been better to put the $100 towards some lumber to build a set of sliders or even spend the money for an overhead garage door.

I think that the first gale of wind will shred the tarp in a few hours 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

Touch that wood how ever times you wish, it's your woodyard. Cool tarp setup. Keep cuttin' Sam!

Good 👍 job brother

Good idea clamping the two ropes together. Ditto on the pallet for the rounds. Barns are supposed to have barn doors. 😅

I made a similar tarp door on my barn, but I used a third rope and pulley in the middle. Used it this way for 5 years before I built permanent sliding doors. Nice job Sam!

Nice idea! Are you going to heat it with anything?

I get being on a budget but when the wind hits the tarp the sound gets obnoxious over time. Plus the sun is going to ruin the tarp over time.

Sam, You could consider a man door next to the garage door. I have found used prehung doors for under $50.00 or less. The benefit to the man door is not having to leave the tarp up. Happy Birthday

👍👍

That will keep the weather off you this year. I thought you were going to make a slider tarp barn door. Out of conduit, with a top conduit rail as a runner. I just did the math it would be a $350 door. It could also be two doors that open opposing as well with two extra pulleys

I totally agree about not putting pictures of your welds on facebook😂 I don’t weld good enough for facebook either. Like you said if it holds it’s good enough. I think welding is like making UA-cam videos you get better results over time. Thanks for the video Sam 😁👍🚜💨☀️

If it keeps you warmer and dryer it's perfect for your needs¡¡Good job on planning and completing the project!!

I like this idea Sam. This is going to make this winter so much better for you. I know on camera it seems dark in the barn but in person you can probably see just fine. Another good thing is air flow is not cut off 100% so using your log splitter should not be a problem. I am sure the barn also has natural ventilation too. I don’t know how you come up with your ideas but thanks for sharing them with us.😁👍🚜💨☀️

Does it work - yes it does so whats not to like. Good job Sam.

I suggest raise the pulleys up higher and you will have taller opening…

Having had a Shelter Logic with that same rope opening system I suggest getting another pulley for the side you pull the ropes. Lace the ropes through their own pulley and they will open and close more evenly. As another suggested, adding the 3rd rope in the middle tied off on the outside then run under the tarp and up to yet another set of pulleys really worked well on my Shelter Logic. I know more money lol. Good job, your getting there.

Great idea Sam👍👍

temporary for 10 years?? 😂 Well Dun!

Good morning Sam. Hope you and your family are doing well. Nice idea for a cheap garage door. That will be nice when you get things set up for your workshop. I imagine you will have a woodstove cranking keeping it toasty. You're getting there buddy. Thanks for another video of you doin stuff.

Nice and cheap, but functional. It may be useful to put a middle rope secured to the bottom to pull it up and take pressure off of the bottom pole at the joint.

Great job sam and great idea👍

Flare fitting not compression

Good to see you splitting firewood, keep cuttin' brother!

Great question ⁉️

Good video. However, it isn't a compression fitting. It is a flare fitting and should be used without pipe dope.

Sam it looks like you are using fluxcore wire, the results with fluxcore are usually less than welding with gas/mig. put your tip closer to the metal about 3/4 inch and run your tip at a 30 to 45 degree angle to what you are welding. practice on a scrap piece first and adjust the welder settings so that it sounds like you are frying bacon. good luck, i enjoy your channel

Practice, practice, practice and the welding will get easier for you to do more stuff! Good job by the way!

Dremel with a cutting wheel.

So so far you've handled the fire wood about 6 or7 times and not done yet 😮

If you are storing the firewood outside just take one of the plastic tanks from the tote and cut it on the diagonal giving you 2 peaked roof tops for putting over the tote to keep the wood dry !!

Check out farmcraft101:s project to combine woodsplitter and excavator for ease of work!

It appears you need to turn your wire feed speed down a bit. Your cup should be closer to the weld.

I saw someone cut the front off of a tote and hinge it like a door, I can't remember where of why. I'm retired from the masonry business, and we worked down to 25 degrees without the mortar freezing. Portland cement is what's in concrete, plus you can put calcium chloride in it too, like antifreeze. I think you could still pour for a while. I never paid much attention to your bucking station, but I really like how the rounds don't fall on the grounds. I like your setup even better than one of the guys I watch on here that has about $40 million dollars worth of equipment to make about 50 cords a year. I won't mention names because I do like the guy. lol

023 wire, a lot of spot welds, less stick out. You did get it done so that’s what matters. I like your buck station. Turn the splitter 90° so you’re not walking around it to get to the rounds.

I like how you were "ashamed" of the "mess" in your barn.... You should see mine... 😐

bit high on the voltage I think but also the galvanising is a problem...sometimes with thin steel the way to go is to put something inside so you have a backing to weld onto, it gives you more wiggle room with the voltage and helps sink some of the heat off those thin edges. I usualy take a small piece of what I am welding cut a slot out so I can squeeze it inside the join...a backing sheet also works with car bodywork. Considering what you were working with that went really quite well...galvanising is a skunk with any sort of welding and you can't grind it off thin walled stuff like either that so weld done....😉

Gotta stitch weld that light weight stuff.

Your stick-out on your welding gun was way to long. That would contribute to a lousy weld.

IBC N U next time 2. Buck up!

I like your work "triangle". t seams pretty efficient. One small suggestion, you might want to put some pallets under your IBC tote, It will take a lot of stress off the hydraulics on your BX. I know the BX will handle it but more stress over time leads to early repairs. You have some good ideas. I like your channel.

Monkey See ... Monkey Do, and "I" am the Chief Monkey. Thin Metal: Instead of a full dimension linear weld, use a "spot weld" technique with Your MIG. The weld will look much better, it won't burn-thru, and You can use a slightly higher amp setting that strikes easier and won't concentrate heat. Takes slightly longer but You will like the results. IBC Plastic: I can't believe no one has mentioned it, but if You cut the plastic tank on a 45, it makes a perfect pyramid-type cover for the wood against the rain. Obviously it won't cover the sides but does cover the top of the stack while allowing full ventilation to dry the wood. Some people drill two holes on each side and use tag wire to restrain the cover against wind.

Good morning sam, is just a suggestion next time use JB Cold Weld. You could pick it up at a hardware.Or auto parts store and it works really well. Great great job. Lol 😅

Seeing all the birds flying by is nice but try not to look up with your mouth open LOL, I was stationed in fort Riley Kansas years ago, when walking home I got a direct hit on the top of my head, had to wait till I got home to wash off LOL

"you gotta have a system" and yours is a good one.👌

I think you'd have had a better go at it if you had removed the galvanized coating before welding.

I like to take a 2" piece of round stock that just fits into the ends of the IBC tote leaving about 1/8" gap before I weld. It will give ou strong weld and less blow out on the joint.

Good morning Sam, coming to you from Pennsylvania. Always a good morning when you wake up to a video of you doing stuff. Your welding is pretty much like mine. You heard the saying, A grinder and paint makes me the welder I ain't. LOL. My welds may not be pretty but they work. Thanks for another video of reality. Take care buddy and be safe.

Very good video and thank you for sharing. So therefore, if I understand this correctly, there is no need for a safety interlock on your main panel. And since the first point of disconnect is the generator then the generator needs to be bonded. Please correct me if I am mistaken. Reason, I’m trying to get this clear in my head is because I’m getting ready to do this very thing. Thank you so much and I liked and subbed. Cheers from Dave.!😎✌️

Happy BIRTHDAY Sam !!🎊🎉🎉🎊💥🎈🎂🍻🍻 & many many more!!
