Thank you for this "follow up" video about adding a hinge door to the pizza oven! After watching the video two days ago of you making the oven, my husband now has three 55 gallon drums he's going to make into pizza ovens. He's on a mission now so thank you for giving him a great project to work on!
Watching you reminds me of my dad, gusto for jumping into a project, the chair leg in the back, or the way his hair would curl up when it was too long. I turn 51 this year, and pops died in 2011 so these are good times for me watching these videos.
TIP FOR THE ROCKS: I have a mulch/rock boundary as well. I used river cobbles as a boundary and filled the stone up slightly higher than the level of the mulch to keep it out. To combat weeds, I rake a bag of water softener salt into the stone every spring and soak any survivors with agricultural vinegar. You have crushed marble. New, it is incredibly dusty, jagged and blindingly reflective in direct sunlight. I suggest using pea gravel so it's not uncomfortable to sit or kneel on.
I second all of this. When we bought our house we had the same jagged, bright, horrible rocks in a bunch of areas, and I've been slowly replacing it as possible with river rock which is so much nicer to even walk on, much less kneel on. And we're firm believers in salt and vinegar for weed control... it absolutely does the job on the weeds that pop up thru the rocks. Super cheap and a lot less environmentally questionable.
Everyone is complaining about plastic, but no one is advocating for making things out of metal and glass like they used to and would last for centuries.
People want the durability of heavy, expensive, overbuilt things, and the cost and weight of cheap and flimsy things, and they want all that to last forever without any maintenance. I think the problem is the people, not the material.
@@timderks5960 That may be true for some people, but anyone that uses tools regularly and relies on them for their job would rather pay extra for the tool and not have it fail in middle of a job, which can be extremely expensive, especially if you have employees being paid to stand around while the products are replaced. The problem is, you can't find quality tools like they used to make. They no longer exist. Companies like Irwin are buying all these old companies up and then shipping the production over to china where the tools are now made like garbage. It's the same for furniture. Try to find a place that sells furniture made out of real wood, and not particle board? It's nearly impossible unless you go with custom made furniture. I finally bought my mom a $300 coffee pot because I couldn't stand the taste of the coffee pot she was using and it leaked all the time. This was the 4th coffee pot she has had in the last few years because they don't last. Some of them didn't work when they were brand new. When it comes to hand tools, I am buying a lot of old tools off of ebay because they have lasted for decades and will last for several more decades.
I love the idea of saving things from going to landfills (or even worse, going into and thus polluting nature) and instead choosing to make sustainable and sturdy patio/lawn furniture of quality with a long lifespan from recycled goods. Thank you for sharing your interest in Polywood, I'm happy they gifted you such great patio furniture. Now that I know of their sustainable ways, I have some patio furniture I'd be proud to own and know it didn't use any more resources and instead saved things from polluting nature.
Oh, and the way society has become so disposable. I prefer things we can repair at home like my Pop Pop always did, of course after he rinsed the aluminum foil and darned his socks. People had more gratitude and appreciation for things. It is more important to WANT WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, than to have more of what you want. People have grown this feeling of entitlement to have everything, the biggest house filled with stuff they don't appreciate and rarely use. I like Haxman's storage, all the scrap from previous projects or spare pieces he pulls out to build what he needs instead of going out and buying then throwing away. Respect to the handymen and handy women out there who appreciate what they have. Instead of trashing things that get thrown in a landfill and prefer to save it when you'll probably find a use for it. Reducing what resources nature gives us. Reusing what we can and choose to repair or rebuild and hold onto things that last longer instead of all the stuff that's been made so it goes to waste, making you buy buy buy more more more disposable junk. Good of such people like you. You're each a blessing and others should learn from the handy people, and hopefully younger ppl who still have parents and grandparents who can teach them gratitude and how to repair their flushy thingies in back of toilet instead of relying on calling a plumber or even worse throwing it away and buying more crap. Learn to fix the guts of your toilet tank, fix the ballcock. It's not that difficult! (Have you ever notice that plumbing sounds like all the parts were named by frisky teenage boys in the high school locker room?) Planned obsolescence, greedy corporations want money so they make things disposable so you will buy more of their disposable crap! The companies even make agreements that no one will make things much better so we have to rely on the disposable products The universe is watching... nature cannot survive under a pile of plastic and other garbage. I appreciate those of you who get it and do what you can with what you have, mostly those of you who reduce, reuse, recycle and upcycle
What a cool project. I bet a round of stone on top of the barrel would help and also give a waterproof surface for the top. It would give you a work surface too.
If you’re going to do commercials in videos that is exactly how it should be done. This is what I’ve been looking for so going to order right now. Love your humor and family and content keep it up.
Suggestion on the handle. Use one of those old wood burning stove spring handles and have it rotate with a piece of metal on the back to catch the oven to keep door closed. That way Itll have the same look as the spring handles you already have, the heat won't transfer as much to the spring on the handle, and you can operate the door and latching system with one hand leaving the other free to grab whatever Is inside
I like “HaxManiacs”. That’s my vote. Also, I have poly wood furniture on my front porch. It’s heavy but amazing. I first found it at our local zoo. There was a bench that I sat on and loved it.
I have a fire pit like yours. Before I put down gravel, I laid out weed barrier mat with like a 2 inch overlap. Worked a treat. Just thought I'd let you know that existed. But I doubt you'd use gravel if you decided to redo your pit down the road.
Those mats are fine for the first year. Ours are 4 years old now and the weed battle was back on last year...worse than ever. They just grow on TOP and IN the mulch ...they don't need soil.
Polywood is the stuff right there. I've got their Adirondacks thay have been sitting out for a few seasons and they look brand new. 👍🏼 You are skilled but unpretentious and you don't take yourself too seriously. Keep it up brotha!
I use vinegar spray with equal amount of vinegar & water for our weeds. It is the same vinegar that we use for our chickens at ~1/4 cup per 5 gallons. No chicken has complained to me yet and the weeds die back pretty quick.
HAKKERS. I know I am 😄 Regarding weeds, I use a mix of 45% strength vinegar w/squeeze of dish soap and salt water mix in 1 gallon sprayer. Works better than store bought herbicides
My pop died a year ago and my ma has dementia so I'm in charge of the homestead. We have a nice backyard here in San Diego and I went looking for outdoor furniture for my ma to enjoy the yard. Bro, it's tough out there. I'm not paying 6000 bones for outdoor furniture. The polywood stuff may just be the answer! Shoutout to the HAXMANIACS out there!
I have a lot of the polywood outdoor furniture. I love the rockers. We have had them for 10 ten years now and they are still in perfect condition with no fading.
Late to the piece but 4.48s is a mechanic's answer to gardening. And I'm with you brother, just spent 2 days landscaping someone else's house just to make sure I have no tenancy issues and I'm definitely over it.
Completely agree about the gravel and wood chips. We’ve been fighting that battle for a few years. Almost finished one phase of building a raised terrace with landscape timbers that has a cardboard weed barrier layer under several inches of wood chips. While using a larger piece of metal to make the door, it would seem like the perfect time to enlarge the opening. Turn the barrel upside down and direct pour the refractory cement into the barrel. Easy peasy. While I appreciate polywoods efforts to repurpose the plastic, at $600 for each set, I’ll continue to build ours from cedar and/or other outdoor wood. A light cleaning and penetrating oil treatment each season keeps it looking like new for a lifetime.
Thanks for the Polywood link! Showing the Mrs. these chairs / table now… since we happen to be looking for new Adirondack chairs currently for the pool 👍🏻
These are amazing. Kim backed over one in the car and all I had to do was pull two screws out, bend one piece back and put the screws back in. It was good as new. We’re going to get some more pieces.
Every time I see your pizza oven I think of the Black Knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 🤣The door just sealed it! And I agree with “Haxters.” Fit’s me pretty well.
good build I build one with barrel fire bricks, insulator, ,venturi burner and much more. Will last me long long time. solid build and look very beautiful.
What if instead of making another slab for the inside , make a larger one that fits over the top of the outside of barrel which would serve a two fold purpose, it make a very nice food warming slab and protect the top of the barrel from rust while helping to hold in heat.
The best and most satisfying thing to get rid of weeds in rock or your driveway is a propane torch. They use camping stove fuel tanks, they are hand held and it so satisfying burning the weeds. No chems or back breaking pulling.
I would add a second 1/4 or a 1/2 barrel on top Adam and make it into another oven for the bread oven and you still could have it for pizza or anything you want. Great looking outdoor chairs. Glad to see the safety glasses. 😎🤓🥸🧐🤣🤣
Hi I’m Stevie G, if you’re worried about your chickens and you want to get rid of the weeds. Try mixing up an extremely concentrated pool salt mix along with some liquid dish soap in water, keep stiring it every now and again over a day or two until the salt has diluted. Then put it into a spray pack and spray it all over the area where your pebbles are and no weeds will ever grow there again (nor anything else so make sure you don’t want a garden there in future).
Absolutely love your videos and the way you approach them. We found you while building out fire pit. We have a small channel in the cruising community and we would love to have you on our weekly livestream to talk about your videos. Let us know if you are ever interested. Once again, love the channel!!
You're channel is by far the best for this kind of content. Most are either drug out, boring, or bad quality. I love that you bring everybody in on it too. Nice work!!! As a beginner in this lifestyle since now I can afford stuff, I will be watching all of your videos 😅😅😅 Also, what about Haxmites for us people??? 😅😅😅
Dear HAXMAN family: I have been binge watching (yep!) your videos this afternoon while I was organizing all my fabrics (I'm a seamstress/craft sewer / quilter - thus I have alot of fabric and organizing can take a long time!) Anyhoo, I sure LEARNED alot today - mixed with laughs and chuckles at the good puns, range of accents, and facial expressions. So I decided to make a new UA-cam Playlist dedicated just to HAXMAN vids! 👍 For those of us enjoying your immortalized videos (ie - your fans, followers, students and critics): How abt calling us: "Haxmanekkies" or "Haxmanites".... Thanks for the great videos. And keep up the good work y'all!
Love your sense of humor. I was going to suggest just burning the weeds int he rock are. I learned that from my neighbor now that I'm living in a much more rural area where people tend to park in their front yards.
Hahaha. Your life is like mine. Honey do list: Redo pool deck w composite wood Extend pool deck Clean up fire pit Put down erosion fabric by the lake Finish charcoal maker/50 gallon drum Extend chicken coop, w concrete floor And more. Keep building brother!
Don't know if you get around to putting refractory above the pizza stone yet, but you definitely don't have to cast that one. You just need some refractory bricks & some of that expanded metal to hold it up. All youre doing with the upper one is providing heat reflection, no need for a super smooth surface.
4:27 - I think you've come across a new video genre here -- Weed Pulling Therapy. These three weeds pulled up, roots intact and the sound they made were very satisfying to watch. More please. 😂
You can make a good weed killer that is friendly for animals. Which is made with molt vinegar and dish soap . You spray it onto the weeds and it kills it pretty quickly. You can also sprinkle salt onto the spot as well to help it along
How about Haxfans...I am definitely a fan of your channel...your wit and sense of humor are right up my alley...a lot of your projects are pure genius, but you give us the projects that aren't as well...you're humility and humbleness are especially endearing, and we all love the way you include your family in your videos too...yup, as long as there's a Haxman, I'll be a Haxfan for life, no matter what you call us
OMG DUDE! Every video you are killing it! You are my source of entertainment (and... some knowledge). You are like Alton Brown from Good Eats and Tim Allen from Tool Time all rolled into one!
The PolyWood furniture is very nice. We love ours too. Be careful fella...perhaps you should hire a stuntman for those kind of chair disaster scenes. Or...just get one of the kids to do it. Ya...that's the ticket!
Haxman - try using 1 gallon of distilled vinegar mixed with 1 cup of table salt and a tablespoon of dawn dish soap. Mix that good and spray on the weeds on a sunny day. Eco friendly way to kill them that might be nice for the chickens.
In regards to the weeds in the rock, have you ever tried sprinkling salt into the rock into the rock and wet it down. It may not kill the existing weeds but it will prevent new growth if it gets into the soil under the rock and it won't harm your chickens.
hysterical, crazy, smart fun and motivational! I would use those rocks in a terrarium or in a fish tank or pond or filter or seomthing. saludos desde Costa Rica!
Interesting video. Cool ideas an I love make homemade bread. I shared your video with all five of my son's and my daughter. Have a blessed day. Grateful, grandma deb
Something else that would be helpful for the artisan loaf would be to pour another refactory stone that would sit atop the chamber on the inside so as to get a more even heating from the top. Although I can’t remember how your heat/smoke/flame escapes.
I am the 17% 🙌🏻 maybe this is a stretch but... the word auxiliary means “A person or thing providing supplementary or additional help and support” we all support you, so maybe we would be “Haxiliaries” huh? You like?
1 gallon White Vinegar, 1.5 cups of epsom salts and 2 tablespoons of dish soap. my in laws use that for pesky weeds. They have free range chickens and ducks.
Vinegar on the weeds, my friend, natural and safe, they have higher acidity, I believe 9% might suffice, I used regular 5%. They have much higher acidity online. Also, the silicone caulking might help with the heat on your... errr, um... knob. Check out diy silicone molds videos for how to mix the caulking that will help with that hot... um, knob... maybe molds for soap making or candy making is where I've seen it, but they use silicone for everything anymore so I'm sure you'll find something to help! Wish they gave you a code to share with us for a discount on those chairs! So great you were gifted eco friendly patio seating, much respect to that company's innovation and sustainability! That's a blessing! I'm eventually going to get my channel going on here, you're an inspiration, well, maybe it's your knob
When I was a girl about your daughter's age, my father would give me a bucket and have me go weed. He paid me 5¢ a weed, only if they had the roots attached. I used to do it regularly for pocket money. Worked out well for my dad. Just a thought.
Bamboo makes some good furniture for out doors and its light. I was going to build a pizza oven. But i was looking around on my patio. And i picked the WEBER KETTLE it make up to 18" pizzas by using pizza pans. IT COOK THEM PERFECT TOP TO BOTTOM with in 20 min depending on the heat. at 250 degs up to 500 degs in 10 mins The grill season the pizza pans and they will last for ever. This also give me more uses for my kettle Only thing you need to go with the Kettle is? Pizza Pans, and a Pizza Peel, short heavy duty one. 1 min time> i ready for pizza or what ever i want to make with my kettle
0:05 I, legit, jumped and yelled out when the chair fell out. My husband thought I had sliced my hand on my new knife or something from how that got me. 😂
I hate the sporadic white Rock in our front. Came with the house. Got to remove it and thinking about a huge deck. S.E. Kansas been getting flooded with rain and tornado watch every other day. Getting annoying. Still gotta put in the 2 hand pumps and pipe from your older video. Garage is filling up from all of your "schemes". 😉. Haxmen Clan. I like it. Hope you and Kim and kids are great!
Fun video Adam! First off...you may call me "Your Highness". That's what I had asked my employees to call me. I can't post their response here. As for the weeds...When I owned my house some years ago, I used composted chicken manure products from Gardens Alive on my fescue lawn and my rose and perennial beds with much success. They had a weed control product that was made from corn cellulose or something like that. It won't get rid of all your weeds, but will significantly decrease them. It is not a poison, so it is safe around pets and animals in nature. It forms a barrier to stop the germination of weed seeds. That might work for your needs. I hope this helps!!

Beat me to it too. Was going to suggest it be interchanged though with Haxstars 🙂

That's a fantastic idea Ed! 😁
Haxters is way better than Haxians

You’re videos are great. Just found them. Entertaining and great ideas. Thanks. I will build this fire pit. Subscribed!
Use your torch to take the weeds out, the same one you used to try the concrete at the beginning of video. Works great.
The monologue on this channels is worthy of an Oscar.
Dear HAXMAN family:
I have been binge watching (yep!) your videos this afternoon while I was organizing all my fabrics
(I'm a seamstress/craft sewer / quilter - thus I have alot of fabric and organizing can take a long time!)
Anyhoo, I sure LEARNED alot today - mixed with laughs and chuckles at the good puns, range of accents, and facial expressions.
So I decided to make a new UA-cam Playlist dedicated just to HAXMAN vids! 👍
For those of us enjoying your immortalized videos
(ie - your fans, followers, students and critics):
How abt calling us:
"Haxmanekkies" or
"Haxmanites"....
Thanks for the great videos. And keep up the good work y'all!
Love your sense of humor. I was going to suggest just burning the weeds int he rock are. I learned that from my neighbor now that I'm living in a much more rural area where people tend to park in their front yards.
Thanks!
Hahaha. Your life is like mine.
Honey do list:
Redo pool deck w composite wood
Extend pool deck
Clean up fire pit
Put down erosion fabric by the lake
Finish charcoal maker/50 gallon drum
Extend chicken coop, w concrete floor
And more.
Keep building brother!
My PolyWood rockers and table stay outside in Nevada year round. 5 years and they look new. Great product.
Awesome! So glad to hear it.
Thank you for your kind words and support!
Just a tip on the herbs, the mint will spread like crazy and choke the rest of the box if not kept in check…learned from experience🤪
Harbor freight weed burner also got used with some fire bricks to make a temporary forge to bend some steel bars for a little project!
A big thumbs up, just for that opening! Now, I have to watch the rest of the video.;)
Don't know if you get around to putting refractory above the pizza stone yet, but you definitely don't have to cast that one. You just need some refractory bricks & some of that expanded metal to hold it up. All youre doing with the upper one is providing heat reflection, no need for a super smooth surface.
Heavily salt the rock area to prevent plant growth.
Thanks!
Yep, spray that area down with some briney water and the weeds will not be happy
The Haxman is better than the Taxman.
😁
@@HAXMAN I kind of like Haxmantology.
We have chickens and spray vinegar on our weeds, we do have to repeat but it's safe for the chickens
The turquiose color of the furniture is really nice.
4:27 - I think you've come across a new video genre here -- Weed Pulling Therapy. These three weeds pulled up, roots intact and the sound they made were very satisfying to watch. More please. 😂
😂
I have some Polywood chairs around my fire pit. They’re amazing. Excuse me while I go and power wash all the pine pollen away. Great video.
You can make a good weed killer that is friendly for animals. Which is made with molt vinegar and dish soap . You spray it onto the weeds and it kills it pretty quickly. You can also sprinkle salt onto the spot as well to help it along
How about Haxfans...I am definitely a fan of your channel...your wit and sense of humor are right up my alley...a lot of your projects are pure genius, but you give us the projects that aren't as well...you're humility and humbleness are especially endearing, and we all love the way you include your family in your videos too...yup, as long as there's a Haxman, I'll be a Haxfan for life, no matter what you call us
Congrats on your sponsorship! Furniture looks great!
OMG DUDE! Every video you are killing it! You are my source of entertainment (and... some knowledge). You are like Alton Brown from Good Eats and Tim Allen from Tool Time all rolled into one!
You know. I could sit and watch you or anyone else for that matter work all day.
The PolyWood furniture is very nice. We love ours too.
Be careful fella...perhaps you should hire a stuntman for those kind of chair disaster scenes.
Or...just get one of the kids to do it. Ya...that's the ticket!
I dialed back my original plan for that joke in the interest of being able to walk afterwards. 😂
Haxman - try using 1 gallon of distilled vinegar mixed with 1 cup of table salt and a tablespoon of dawn dish soap. Mix that good and spray on the weeds on a sunny day. Eco friendly way to kill them that might be nice for the chickens.
Piano hinge on the cool pizza oven/ baking oven door👍
Haxman and family:: your videos are helping me to laugh some every day. Thank you !
Haxigans!
That way you can always open with “Welcome back again Haxigans.”
In regards to the weeds in the rock, have you ever tried sprinkling salt into the rock into the rock and wet it down. It may not kill the existing weeds but it will prevent new growth if it gets into the soil under the rock and it won't harm your chickens.
hysterical, crazy, smart fun and motivational! I would use those rocks in a terrarium or in a fish tank or pond or filter or seomthing. saludos desde Costa Rica!
Interesting video. Cool ideas an I love make homemade bread. I shared your video with all five of my son's and my daughter. Have a blessed day. Grateful, grandma deb
Awesome! Thank you!
Something else that would be helpful for the artisan loaf would be to pour another refactory stone that would sit atop the chamber on the inside so as to get a more even heating from the top. Although I can’t remember how your heat/smoke/flame escapes.
Maybe spread Preen periodically to prevent weeds from even germinating and watering it down into the rocks so the chickens wont pick it up.
Great, but it's healthier to use firebrick instead of cement. It is also available in powder form 👍🏻👌🏻
I am the 17% 🙌🏻 maybe this is a stretch but... the word auxiliary means
“A person or thing providing supplementary or additional help and support” we all support you, so maybe we would be “Haxiliaries” huh? You like?
I do like it 😁
HAXMAN nice, always quick on the reply 👍🏻 appreciate that.
1 gallon White Vinegar, 1.5 cups of epsom salts and 2 tablespoons of dish soap. my in laws use that for pesky weeds. They have free range chickens and ducks.
Found your channel about a week ago... Binge watching. Great content
Haxamaniacs welcome to the Haxadome.in reference to the round fire pit area.
Vinegar on the weeds, my friend, natural and safe, they have higher acidity, I believe 9% might suffice, I used regular 5%. They have much higher acidity online.
Also, the silicone caulking might help with the heat on your... errr, um... knob. Check out diy silicone molds videos for how to mix the caulking that will help with that hot... um, knob... maybe molds for soap making or candy making is where I've seen it, but they use silicone for everything anymore so I'm sure you'll find something to help!
Wish they gave you a code to share with us for a discount on those chairs! So great you were gifted eco friendly patio seating, much respect to that company's innovation and sustainability! That's a blessing! I'm eventually going to get my channel going on here, you're an inspiration, well, maybe it's your knob
When I was a girl about your daughter's age, my father would give me a bucket and have me go weed. He paid me 5¢ a weed, only if they had the roots attached. I used to do it regularly for pocket money. Worked out well for my dad. Just a thought.
Bamboo makes some good furniture for out doors and its light. I was going to build a pizza oven. But i was looking around on my patio. And i picked the WEBER KETTLE it make up to 18" pizzas by using pizza pans. IT COOK THEM PERFECT TOP TO BOTTOM with in 20 min depending on the heat. at 250 degs up to 500 degs in 10 mins The grill season the pizza pans and they will last for ever. This also give me more uses for my kettle Only thing you need to go with the Kettle is? Pizza Pans, and a Pizza Peel, short heavy duty one. 1 min time> i ready for pizza or what ever i want to make with my kettle
The Gathering sounds good
0:05 I, legit, jumped and yelled out when the chair fell out. My husband thought I had sliced my hand on my new knife or something from how that got me. 😂
Another great video! entertainment for the Haxherd 🙂. Also thx for the promo on the Native products. Deodorant amazing!
That opening convienced me not to buy the plastic ones at Lowes 😂
I hate the sporadic white Rock in our front. Came with the house. Got to remove it and thinking about a huge deck. S.E. Kansas been getting flooded with rain and tornado watch every other day. Getting annoying. Still gotta put in the 2 hand pumps and pipe from your older video. Garage is filling up from all of your "schemes". 😉. Haxmen Clan. I like it. Hope you and Kim and kids are great!
I have Polywood chairs and they're awesome.
That's great to hear. I have wanted to get some for years. No more chairs blown all over the yard.
Thank you, Jerry!
Nan, Indian flat bread, would probably be perfect for the pizza oven with no more needed.
Two Bolts,Two Nuts!
Get the hole lined up straight!
That’s what she said…brother you are classic🤙🏼
Hooray for Polywood
Fun video Adam! First off...you may call me "Your Highness". That's what I had asked my employees to call me. I can't post their response here. As for the weeds...When I owned my house some years ago, I used composted chicken manure products from Gardens Alive on my fescue lawn and my rose and perennial beds with much success. They had a weed control product that was made from corn cellulose or something like that. It won't get rid of all your weeds, but will significantly decrease them. It is not a poison, so it is safe around pets and animals in nature. It forms a barrier to stop the germination of weed seeds. That might work for your needs. I hope this helps!!
Thanks. I’ll check on that. I’ve always preferred to be called el presidente. 😂
