    Wow - this is absolutely incredible! It's apparent how much effort you put into this - and to get the material from railroad sleeper ties. Great use - and lovely wood grain and patina with the oil. Great strong joints. You must have your reasons, but PLEASE wear eye protection. As to the color, I like #2. Thanks for sharing this heirloom creation! Perfect for a small flock! Right on!

    I sort of made a very similar design at a larger scale for my beer fermentation cellar. It’s a large sealed box with the temp control system mounted to the side. I always regretted not making the overall chamber just a touch bigger to allow the control system to fit with the overall size of the box, instead of being a smaller box on the side that sort of sticks out. Absolutely loved the hinge concept though. Brilliant.

  • @maryblaylock6545

  • @dirtwizard5647
    @dirtwizard5647 4 роки тому

    I use to raise EMU . They take 59 days to hatch and in n.c. you have to remove humidity from the air too much for them. No matter how bad you want to help a bird hatch, DO NOT! Theirs nothing sadder than the bird tearing the umbilical cord and dying in your hands! Theirs a reason it won't hatch. I have helped several , most all didn't end well, a few did but...I had a contract in Oklahoma, I was air mailing baby emu from n.c. to o.k. overnight with no problems.i have also raised about everything that flies crawls or hops.
    I paid 600 us for my incubator and I use to joke around that I could hatch a rock
    Very nice high quality work sir!

  • @ssultan4692
    @ssultan4692 4 роки тому +1

    Excellent craftsmanship, but...
    The important thing in incubators is the percentage of hatching.
    The shape is important, but not the most important as the percentage of hatching.
    There are many basic technical factors that you did not consider (fatal errors) such as ventilation, thermal dynamic stability, etc...
    Though the most important thing is that you incubate and publish the results.
    Thanks for the excellent effort.

    Go Kris. Excellent craftsmanship. I’m recommending your videos as inspiration for people out there who are confused with life and meaning. I really, really, really mean that. Fantastic incubator by the way. Your attitude to life seemingly creates abundance and treasure of the heart. Unstoppable. Personally, we don’t watch much tv, but I encourage my three boys, Hugh 9, Lucas 7 and Will 6, to tune into your channel. You may not know it, but I reckon you’re one of the best teachers out there for real living. We live off the grid in Australia. At the moment I’m fencing and getting some metal work stuff happening. Thanks for your videos. They are a great source of motivation. Kind Regards, Rohan

    Brilliant, be nice to see how you get on with incubating eggs. If it’s a good success rate you could make and sell these. Controlling the humidity and having a consistent heat is hard.
    Be good if you could top up the water without opening it, to help temperature and humidity fluctuations.
    Wood work is top notch.

    Kris, when cutting glass, a little oil on your cutter does wonders... give it a try next time. You can also, score using the oil, run your cut off of the glass, and hit the cut briefly with a propane torch, and it will break your glass along the score.

    Eggcelent build. Consider putting something with some thermal mass (a brick, a chunk of metal, bottle of water) and placing it inside, that way each time you open the door all the hot air doesnt rush out. The thermal mass of a big object will hold onto some of the heat.

    So I'd go with number 2 for the lighting. You have certainly done that wood proud! Such beautiful wood does not deserve to be "hacked" together. Several already mentioned spreading epoxy with you fingers, so I won't! One other thing. I had been using push sticks for years, no problems; Until I did! This past April the stick caught the blade just right and slammed it into the palm of my hand. Hurt like the dickens. Its now been nearly 3 months and its still a bit tender and feels "wierd" when I flex my hand.
