Hi Paula, I have never had that problem. Here are a couple of suggestions. Make sure you have the arbor clamp the correct way round. Also insert a small Allen Key into the hole under the blade as you tighten down on the center Allen bolt. I hope this helps.

Yes, it still folds up. It does make it rather heavy to move around.

Thank you, it is a very helpful and versatile saw, excellent for small projects and hobbies.

Hi Dean, no part numbers, but if you look at the description below the video by tapping more, I listed all the parts I used. I hope this helps.

Yes, the kit I purchased comes with an adjustment valve so you can adjust the flame.

Yes

Thank You, I hope you have fun making it

Yes

Hi Mike, that will certainly do the job, it's what the professionals at the nurseries and vineyards use. I just used a pair of grips 😀

The outlet on all the barrels are about the same height, but the inlet for the blue barrels is 4 feet higher so gravity would not work. Also the blue barrels are located in a different part of the garden about 60 feet away.

@@BrightSparkIdeas So you need to go out periodically and fire up the pump? We're in Vancouver area (Seattle like) so rain is np but in Jul-Aug it has been very dry.

De nada amigo mío, espero que el vídeo te haya resultado útil. Hermanos en Cristo.

Pablo, thank you for the great ideas, I especially like the foot pedal switch. If anyone else has helpful suggestions please add to the comments below.

Hi Barry, I do not think it matters how high the vents are as long as they are above the intake, or if you join them together. For me joining them together with a single vent / outlet, acts as a simple overflow point. I am moving from California, so all my barrels are for sale.

Thank you Phyl, This has been a great project and successful water storage system. I hope yours works great too.

John thank you. After two years experience the only thing I would do differently is use longer posts and bury them deeper. The weight of the mature vines loaded with grapes are pulling the the posts together. It is only slight, but that is something I would do next time.

Hi, I am not sure that i understand the question. The system via the Growatt's inverter is automatically taking DC from the solar panels and outputting AC, so not Ac to Dc. Happy to answer, if you want to expand on your question or watch part 2 and 3 for a better understanding of the system.

Hi Willy, I am not sure if it is necessary for the "system" to be connected to a ground rod. However, for connecting and protecting the Solar Panels input to the system I am using an ECO-WORTHY 4 String PV Combiner Box with Lightning Arrester, which is connected to a ground rod. So, that is how mine is grounded. I hope this helps. If anyone else has a definitive answer please add to the comments.

Showing 3.8 amps left 😢😢😢

Hey Rod, thank you for the nice comment, yes, I have a set of ball drivers, just did not think to use them during the demo. I would think this would be an ideal piece of kit for an r/c aircraft builder.

Thank you, it makes a great tool even easier to use.

Mike, thank you, I appreciate the advice. Yes, it is a great little saw.

It sounds like you are a very creative person, and this little table saw is perfect for creative hobbies. I purchased it to cut small pieces of wood and metal, and the jig you see in the video is for making repetitive cuts simple and quick. If you want to step up from the Circuit machine this will cut up to ½” soft wood without any problem. No, my little table saw would not be able to cut 1 ¼” wood for two reasons. Firstly, the blade height is only 5/8” so cutting up to ½” is no problem. Secondly it only has a tiny motor, and you could easily burn out the motor by trying to cut a large piece of wood. If you are looking to purchase one of these little table saws, check the maximum blade height as this will give you some idea of the size of the wood it will cut. Making birdhouses is a lot of fun, especially the ones I made with my grandchildren. I have a video on this channel of a large 24 room bird condo I made a few years ago. Let me know what you decide to purchase and how it works for you.

Hi Ed, as I have a Growatt Off-Grid Inverter, I only have one connection (Cable) from the P- terminal to the inverter. But I think the simple answer to your question is yes.

@@BrightSparkIdeas Hi thanks for reply. I sorted it out all Negatives go so shunt. Even charge controller :)

@@gazed1435 Yes, good to hear it is working. It is a very useful meter.

Thank you, LEDs are an excellent idea, I would not have thought of that. Thank you for sharing your great ideas.

Thank you Stan.

Hi John, I know, not everyone has a huge workshop or a large, converted garage. I grew up in England where most of us managed to have our workshop in the tiny shed at the bottom of the garden. Most of my UA-cam videos show the small jigs and equipment modifications I made that allow me to work in small spaces or move them outside. Pleased you liked the video.

Yes, it is rather loud. It is not very powerful and does not have a lot of torque, but it might be perfect for cutting Kumiko strips. Possibly try some different blades to get the perfect cut.

Hi, yes, I think a manifold is a good idea. I would have made a manifold for my system, but I wanted it to be easy to take apart and move. If you do not have much pressure, make sure the barrel is vented, also, pressure is going to be affected by the height of the faucet from the ground. I only use mine with a pump, so I have not had a pressure problem. You can watch my UA-cam video on my pump setup. I hope this helps.

Hi, I do not use this very often and only for cutting very small pieces of soft wood. So far it is working very well.

Thank you, great advice.

Yes, one of my favorite tools inside and outside of the workshop

I was born in England, but have now lived longer in the USA, so who knows what you can call my accent 😊

David, what a great idea, thank you for sharing. I will have to give it a try.

@@BrightSparkIdeas you are most welcome. i just use a surface contact adhesive 2 bits of wood one for each side and a good clamp happy sanding

Not had to order blades yet, but that you for the advice.

Hi ARMADILLO , good to hear from you. Sounds like a great idea thank you for sharing, always good to have better ways to do things.

Jesse, I do not leave mine on, but my understanding is that this is a self-priming on demand pump, so you could use a timer and have it turn on and off when needed. Let me know how that works for you.

​@BrightSparkIdeas a on demand pump has a pressure switch when you open a tap it automatically turns on I did buy a through the side float switch so when the barrel is empty it shuts the pump off I bought a 2 pack because I have 2 systems a house one for potable water I haul in and a second one for rain but can also be used to turn off the pump by putting the second one on the tank being transferred to my rain water unit has 4 barrels downstairs and 4 under my downspouts 2 for the house 1 for my garage and 1 for my sheds total 8 barrels all connected in winter I close off the outside one's and drain them the 4 downstairs gives me water year round for my house plants and toilet with my pumps inside they won't freeze and since the barrels downstairs are lower than the ones outside they fill up first

Hi Don, I purchased it online at Hayneedle.com Upcycle 55 gal. Rain Barrel - Terra Cotta. I hope that helps.

Hi Eric, I am pleased you liked the idea. I just gave mine a little tighten up this week, due to the weight of the new growth.

Thank you, it certainly helps to pull the wire up when you get a heavy weight of grapes.

Gracias, no hablo español, pero agradezco su interés en mi sistema de barril de lluvia.

Hi, I apologize for the late response to your question, but I just noticed your comment today. It’s a very good question, and my first instinct is to agree with you and say yes, it is upside down. The main reason I added it upside down in my design is that it is extremely difficult to check or remove the filter cup if I had it the other way around. Based on its design and the way this filter works I don’t really think it makes any difference which way you install it. For me I have very few particulates in the water that I am transferring from my catchment barrel to my storage barrels, and having checked it after every use, I find very little to clean out of the mesh strainer/filter. This might be because I am not using it correctly and I would check and see what works best for you. So, in conclusion, you are probably correct it’s upside down, but in my personal experience upside down works for me. Let me know your thoughts.

Hi Niall, thank you I hope it was helpful. It works great here in Northern California for our chilly evenings.

@@BrightSparkIdeas I'm in Dublin, Ireland. I haven't attempted the conversion yet but your video was a breakthrough for me. I have been searching the internet by component e.g. gas burner, element, fittings etc. Not really knowing what I was looking for and being unable to specify it. Ended up getting frustrated and lost down many an internet rabbit hole. Then one day I decided to do something different and instead described to the internet in simple English what I was trying do. I found your video which told me 1) it could be done and 2) describe how you did it. I cannot get the same conversion kit you were able to source but I could now describe it properly and have since found a source. So once again I thank you.

@@niallreynolds5375 Niall, I am so pleased my video was helpful and you are able to proceed with your conversion. The one thing I would like to do but have not found the time yet is adding a push button igniter. There are some fancy key valve and push button ignition kits available here in the USA, but they are expensive. You can purchase Fire Pit push button ignition kits which look like the push buttons used in gas grills. That is probably the way I will go as they are only about $12.00 - 15.00. I would love to hear how your project turns out, so please keep in touch.

Even if you do the research, it is difficult to know if you are getting a quality product that will work in the way you intend to use it. So many fake reviews that it becomes discouraging. However, it is nice when you find good products that work as advertised. Thank you for sharing.

Aaron, thank you, I am pleased you found the video helpful. You can check out my video on my water pump and how I use it to pump water from rain barrel to the storage barrels.
