Great tip!
These things are great I've used one for years. A tip: clamp it on higher up the trunk and you'll get more leverage on the roots.

Surprised you didn't turn it into an ac/dc machine.I saw other videos where they did it cheap.
Yessir.
The title should read... " How to build a $36.00 bolt for $2.50 " My table sander was currently having this problem and I was just about to order a bolt off Amazon. So to you sir I say, Thanx😊
Hello Alec, your system is very interesting. Today, after so much time of watching this video, does the system still work perfectly? I have some questions. If you could answer them, that would be great. What brand/model of the exhaust fan did you use? Is it heat-resistant? Did you have any problems with it? Could you show or explain better how or which thermostat you used to automate the system? How many hot air outlets do you have in this system? Could you show or comment on what these air outlets are like? What is the diameter of the pipe in the outlets? How many cubic meters of area can your system heat? The fan turns on when the fire reaches a certain temperature, and stays on continuously until the fire goes out and drops below a certain temperature. Is there a control that turns the fan off when the house is too hot? What is the insulation of this hot box, made of rock? Is there metal only on the outside of the hot box? On the inside, there is only rock wool insulation near the box where the fire is? Or is there some other material between the insulation and the box where the fire is? I apologize if the questions are obvious or easy, but I am from another country. Thank you very much for your attention.
I can imagine how Norm McDonald would sound like if he reached 70. 😢
Heck i'm 76 now. Loved Norm's humour. A
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch With your activity at that level, you'll still be at it in your 90's too! Bravo!
Hold hammer near bottom. It'll work better. 😅
or just a longer hammer
@randomcreature147 he could do but no point if gona hold that one at the top too 😅
I would hold it back but my shoulder was aching that day (most days). For you fit and strong guy, go for it. A
@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch hey 👋 not far behind pal in my 40's 👍 sounds like you need a wrist hammer 😂😂
He sounds like Norm McDonald
I do and Norm was a great guy. A
Very cool! Thanks for the video Alec!
Glad you liked it! A
These are all over in Finland in public camping spots. Axes would get stolen, these not so much. No hammers though, you just use another piece of wood to hit it.
And so much safer
This is from a New Zealand company but I see it all around the world. I need a hammer for these old shoulder bones. The hammer makes it safer so young ones can do chores safely. A
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch The problem with hammers in public places is that they'd get stolen just as well as an axe. That's probably why you don't see them there.
Great design
Thank you! Cheers! A
Im paralyzed from my chest down. I could see putting one of these in my camper so i could split up a little firewood but im always out with my brother or cousins.
A hammer is, to me, safer and easier to use. No sharpening and hit it fast or slow and still split wood. A
I like it. Gives someone with a disability an easier and safer route to split logs.
I think so too. No axe to sharpen, fingers to loose. Who doen't need a hammer around. A
Thanks for the video 😮
A wireless solar video cam would be ideal due to the virtual fence and fence area settings. No false notifications. Only human and vehicles.
I like this setup. Works for us with few problems. A
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch yes if you're a hunter it'll wake you up so you can get the deer or moose lol. You don't have to sit outside and wait for it! You probably get more notifications from animals than you do from humans! Some people came and cased my yard out and I had to set up a motion sensor and for one whole month I hardly had any sleep due to animal notifications. A month later the guys finally came back and I was actually awake before the motion sensor warned me. If I wasn't awake it would have woken me up , that or the loud diesel motor in their truck lol. I confronted them and put fear into them lol. Two weeks later I decided to get a better security system! No animal detection's anymore. Just humans or vehicles.
If birds activate the alarm then its garbage.
It happened once i think and they probably sat on it. A
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch oh ok. Then its all good. If I were a hunter my motion sensor would help me hunt. I used a doorway light motion sensor as my security system before I upgraded to cameras compatible with fencing and fencing area detection. If anyone or a vehicle crossed the virtual fencing line it beeped until i acknowledge it. The light motion doorway sensor woke me even when a moose or deer walked past it , I hooked an extension cord up to one of the light outputs and whenever it activated it would send power to an alarm radio that I had plugged into the extension cord.
Imagine using a hatchet or axe like a normal human. This is dumb
Many folks prefer a hammer, less chance of injury and never needs sharpening. A
what about people who arent "normal" by your shitty standards? what about them?
Why don’t you just use your log splitter to do some
That's for cutting BIG pieces into smaller so i can make kindling. It's very powerful but slow moving. Would take 3 minutes to cut the wood i did here in 30 seconds. I'll ask Kevin to do a short on the splitter. When you see the short video, it was you idea. A
Great Job 👍
Thank you! Cheers! A
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video. Looking forward to next installment. Very informative.
Thanks for watching! Roofs is the next video released. A
Do you ever pick up Kevin with the backhoe thumb?
Come on. Nothing is that strong. Sorry Kevin. A
Need a bigger backhoe!!!!!!!!!!!!
Backhoe attachments are a wonderful device and are made complete by the opposing digit, the thumb! Manual or hydraulic 👍. Thanks for sharing sir. Following that is the front end loader made better by adding the tooth bar! Buck tooth or otherwise 😂
Sure thing. Keeps the kids out of your way. A
Hi Alec. I've seen those things on the bigger excavators with hydraulic controls great for ripping old roofs off of houses, but I had no idea what they were called or that there was an add on non moving version for smaller back hoes. See I'm still not too old to learn something new ! Thanks Owen m
We can all learn something new every day. The thumb has made my backhoe chores easier and faster. A
I chose to insulate the floor differently. Instead of insulating on top of the sheathing I insulated below the sheathing between the floor joists. And my critter mesh is attached to the underside of the joists. This saves vertical space. You might say that there's a thermal break because of the floor joists but they are 5-1/2" thick (2x6s) so I figure the break is insignificant.
That sounds like a good plan. A
Brilliant🎉
Thank you. It came to me when the grand kids were here. A
Would also work really well for vegetable hoops
You're right, didn't think of that. Thanks. A
This guy has Norm MacDonald vibes
I hate chickens... well don't get me wrong! I love chickens! They're great on the BBQ lols
Thanks, I loved Norm, a funny guy. A
Thats a cool feeder, slide some fine mesh as the bottom of the feader part and drill some breather holes so when it rains it goes right through. Bye.
Good tips, think I'll add tiny drain holes next time i'm out. A
Put some wheels on it, and maybe a handle. That way, you can push it around.
Good idea. I have some rebar i can bend and attach. Still using it. A
Mine had a SINGLE D head. Which required purchasing a specific tool. Very annoying
That is something everyone hates, the dreaded "only from us" tool. A
Fantastic solution, cant wait to try it
Please do. Check other comments for good tips to improve it. A
Thank you. This give me more ideas 😅 I recently bought a house with two lots. One side we spend all of our time in and the other side, not so much.
The angles were made to hang on a wall.
Might be but mine is so heavy, its wheels on the floor for me. A
How can a horse digest that?
They get enough hay and greatly reduce waste on the ground. Going my their overly large waists, they love it. A
My animals would hop up and snap and ankle on the rails sadly
I have several of these with no accidents so far. A
These feeders are GREAT! Really cuts down on waste
I like to think so too. A
Splitting elm by hand is pain! If you have cold winters, split it winter, frozen. It splits easier!
I have a very powerful log splitter that i should do a short on. Welcome to search my channel for 'log' to find it. A
That’s for the birds! 😅
Thank you and glad you liked my humour. A
I see what you did😅
This is great ! Imagination is most of life really .
I like to think I can dream up something unique even at my age. A
Where do I get a tbar?
Plumbing supply store or make your own. Most building supply stores have a t-joint, 2 short 18" pipes for the handles and a long pipe down the the adapter (measure your well depth and add 2 or 3' to come to your waist. Hope this helps. A
Valuable content, I love it. Keep posting❤️🔥
Thank you! Will do! A
That stuff works great! I had a concrete cutting fitting on my grinder and smoothed it flush to the repaired concrete. It probably can be sanded.
I never noticed it until the chimney top cracked. The short version does not do the process justice but the full video I covered the entire process. End result was I have not see the crack return since then (2017). Thanks for watching and the feedback. A
Does that compund not require ssd?
I'm not sure what you mean by ssd. Sanding, not if you smooth it enough. In the long video I smoothed and domed it perfectly. Crack has not returned since then which was 2017. A
@@AlecPeirceAtTheRanch did you wet the concrete before applying the quikrete?
Amazing Alec 🥰
Thank you. The Walls are available with the Roof coming in a week. A
Alec! this is amazing!!!!! you are such a natural!
Thank you so much. Still have the Roof to come and our customizations (maybe you will include some in future plans). A
I could listen to you all day. 😊
Wow, thanks. I'll share this with my wife who does not always share the same view. A
Amazing teacher, rare find
Thank you! 😃
Wow, you're the best !!!
Wow, thanks! A
