Belt Conveyor Build - Part 2

  • Fabricating a belt conveyor for my homemade firewood processor so I can transport firewood straight into the firewood crates. This means I don't have to stack firewood ever again. I'm using scrap steel and bits and pieces I have laying around on the homestead to keep the project cost down. This video is the second and also the final part of the two part series. But new videos will come! Stay tuned!

      I am glad that you did the camfer I suggested on the last video, it does really work well! 💪🤓👍 I fixed my old Mecedes A180 generator pulley with this, it was rubbing the tension mount, you do need a lathe though 😁

    •  4 роки тому +4

      I stopped watching regulr TV about 3 years ago. I hated the cutting they made, then recycled material, and always before and after advertising they did a what's to come, and what has happened :P ... like they thought everyone was idiots watching .... with YT and the like, there's no such stuff, not treating their viewers like braindead zombies ...

    • @Redneckmfg

      I admit I stopped watching TV as well .... I think you could rebuild anything just by watching UA-cam ...

      Same here. Guys like Donn are inspiring me to go and do shit with my hands instead of sitting on my arse. I also deleted social media apps and accounts because for me it looked like it made people even more idiotic.

    Absolutely love it! Not just the latest conveyor build, but the whole processor. You are an inspiration to me as I begin my maple syrup business. I also have to deal with a huge amount of firewood and therefore have started to look for ideas on how to do things better and be more efficient. This whole project is a testament to efficiency. Great Job!
