I finished my carpenter apprenticeship over 40 years ago. One instructor that was there before and long after, Toni. He reminded us that we were just beginning. That we should strive to learn every day going. forward. Words that I took to heart.
You continue to inspire me with more than your welding skills, so much so that I am building my version of the rocket stove. Always enjoy and appreciate your work/life. 🙏🏻
I love the fact that you're stick welding!! I have a hatred of MIG welding. I know, it's faster, but stick is old school and I love it!! I actually weld with TIG about 99% of the time because I usually am working with stainless or occasionally clean mild steel, but I appreciate using an old rusty PC of mild. Nice job!!!
Good luck with this new business. I am 70 and thinking on starting me a small craftey business. But any way God's speed on this adventure keep me in touch
My son left medical school for welding school and hasn't been happier. He made the decision on his own and decided to chase his own dream instead of the one we placed on him. Welding in a dying art and I am very proud of him for walking his own road. Great video on taking what could have been considered nothing and seeing the potential life in it.
@@therealfinn1839 It sure does seem to be in my neck of the woods. Most trade skills have turned into liberal art degrees. My hat is off to anyone who can still fix or make something "real" anymore,
That looks really impressive. Really impressed that it leaves almost zero scrap, the offcuts getting used again. I had already picked up some heavy 150 tube, and planed to do something similar, but glad I did not progress yet, as your design is much better than I was planning,
Nice to see what your ideas are. I made a rocket stove this spring, and cooked twice a delicious goulash soup in a cast iron cauldron. Hungarian bograch soups. Perfect. Twigs in the amount of a bicycle basket will be enough for about 2 hours of cooking. Greetings from the EU.
Oh wow, glad your back mate... when I lite up my rocket stove.... Hope all are well including your wonderful family.... Cheers! So glad to hear of your inspiration... such a good thing.
Good speach man! So nice of you to carry on the family tradition. Doing the thing you like for a living, it's huge. Keep up the good work. All the best!!!
I would love to have a tiny Rocket Stove. As small as possible but still big enough to heat a tiny house….. and think if you could make the exhaust in the dimension of an of-the-shelf chimney it would be great. You could expand your business to sell plans for your builds. Living on the opposite side of the world shipping is killing engagement….. Love your work and cool approach to UA-cam.
Love the rocket stove, built one out of cinder blocks in order to burn up a lot of old broken pallets on my property without a lot of smoke, worked wonderfully. That hand soap reminds me of Lava here in the USA, might even be better, who knows? God bless!
I'm a boilermaker that's been in the trade for over 30 years all I'm going to say is this guy is pretty bloody good I honestly think you are not dual trade you are triple trade add boilermaker as well mate .Thats some of the best plasma cutting if ever seen free hand with massive thick chalk lines and your welding is pretty good as well.So Can This Guy Weld Yes
Very good. Congratulations, but remember its not so much a risk, you can always go back to working a job. Nut it is a leap of faith. So stay strong,trust your gut it won't lead you astray
Congratulations on completing your apprenticeship - fitter & turner is also my "mother trade". Although I later qualified as an engineer, I've never been sorry about my time on the tools, and now enjoy my workshop in my retirement. I'm a long-term subscriber, looking forward to Part 2!
Hey Russell, do you mind me asking what engineering discipline you entered and how you started after already having a career? In terms of affording the schooling for engineering, and the time needed while working? At least in my case I have considered the military for these benefits, and just curious how you made it. Thanks.
@@579Jacob Hi Jacob, I was fortunate to serve my apprenticeship as a fitter and turner with a South African mining company who supported anyone who applied themselves in their technical college studies. I was able to complete 4 block release study courses (equivalent to an engineering diploma in mechanical engineering) before passing my practical trade test. While working as an artisan and later as a technician, subsequent further studies through night classes at my own cost gave me entrance to write the examinations by which I qualified as a mechanical engineer at the age of 30. My wife and I agreed to hold off on starting our family until I qualified as an engineer - we were married for 7 years before my daughter was born. The South African system then allows one to study specific subjects in the electrical engineering field and thereby obtain certification as an electrical engineer. Certainly a career in the military would offer similar opportunities for advancement if you showed the necessary application in your studies. Good luck!
No its not rediculous, It's just another masterpiece, ( from a fellow victorian aussie, ) I'm gonna have to get me one of those plasma cutters, such a time saver. - Thank you for the video.
Perfect timing for selling your own solid bar sand soap. Solvol have stopped making it recently and they only do the liquid soap. I prefer the bar soap as you can use the bar to scrub at tough spots.
Congrats on striking off on your own. Customers are more of a headache than bosses, but you can wake up and decide not to be paid any day of the week you want. With a family in the US, insurance is the biggest headache/cost for going it alone. I always cheated and had a wife that worked.
Could you please tell me your logic in the shape of the rocket stove ??? How about the heat output ??? What is the percentage more of a standard 4 by 4 inch stove ??? Nice work and thanks.
I neglected to go into that. I have found that when the burn tube is 90° to the riser the air flow doesn't always start off in the right direction. Adding the 15 degrees slope to the burn tube has given the hot air a head start in the right direction. It also stops ash from working it's way into the bottom of the riser. The tube in the bottom of the riser was intended to be air intake for secondary burn. It's value is yet to be seen. The slot behind the hopper is for air, when there is too much fuel in the hopper, this slot should still allow enough air into the burn tube for a clean combustion. I will cover the rest in the second video 🙂 Heat output was great 🎉 warm up time was a bit long but once running it was really good.
@@LittleAussieRockets Thanks for the pertinent information requested. Look forward to see the second video and congratulations for bringing life into this world. Peace and good luck too. vf
I can relate I'm a 70 year old Fitter and Turner I have a small shop and I still love it , I like your heater I mite make one I didn't get what the pipe with the hols is for ( air flow ? ) , I'm in Qld and yes it dose get Cold here as I wright this I'm cold .
Wow. That looks like a keeper. Inspiring. Perhaps a sauna stove if I can keep the water out. Keep up your good work and congratulations on freedom however terrifying it may be at times.
Great video as usual- good luck on your new life direction 👍you’ve taken the jump and I’m sure your gonna land on both feet - cheers and keep ‘em coming 😁
I noticed you left a front and back gap on the magazine feed tube, assuming for draft air compensation. Have you found those gaps improve the draft and does it allow heavier loading of the mag tube with wood (like closer to 100% full)?? Thanks for your reply
The gaps allowed me to put a door on the hopper. I wanted to direct more airflow up through the grate into the coal bed to get a more complete combustion. From my testing on other stoves where I haven't had the gaps, these extra holes helped in getting a more complete combustion, not having as much charcoal left unburned.
Plasma cutters are available for sale at Aldi this week in Melbourne Australia. Good to see you back on UA-cam. Don't know why I didn't get the notification until I scrolled over your video today, 4 weeks late? You think that your the boss, when it is really the wife! Mark from Melbourne Australia
Hi this is Raymond from Scotland. Can I pick your brains. I am building a stove same as your shop heater and can only get 4” box section do I use the same sizes for the Venturi vortex or do I take a third of your sizes as mines is only 4 inch box. Keep up the great videos Regards Raymond
Have you seen Lawrence Harrops rocket shop heater? His channel is Loz Harrop from the U.K. Very happy to hear you're doing it all on your own now. Cheers Mate.
Hi, bought plans for the stove, missing size of the hole between burner and riser, also diamension for the pipe welded to the bottom of the riser. Look like something missing in the plans.
I really didn't think that the draft from the flue would be that good, but I was pleasantly surprised. I guess that you could pipe the exhaust outside without any problems as well.
As usual, a nicely put together video. Nice to see you can wield that old buzz-box welder with your usual skill. Interesting design too. I have been hoping you would have another go at your water heater system. Any chance it is in the pipeline? I built a wood burner water heater system which I use to pipe hot water into a radiator in my workshop. Next step is I am collecting materials and chewing over ideas for a home heating system with a rocket stove heart. Hopefully I can pinch some more good ideas from you in the future! Keep up the good work!
I love you videos... I wish I lived close to you. I'd probably try to come help you (free labor) every day after work. Lol Question: is there a reason you didn't weld completely around the wood supply areas. I see one gap on the top side and the sides on the bottom where the ashtray is. Love this stove and will be building it soon. But I wanted to ask questions before I welded it solid and screwed it up.
Thanks, David So the openings are there for airflow. Basically, if I completely overload the hopper with fuel, there will still be enough air to create a clean burn, so far it works great but I would add another 300 mm to the riser if I was building it again.
Great video! You have superb skills and excellent camera sense. How you have succeeded while being left-handed is remarkable! Do you weld mower decks? Thanks for sharing!
Rocket stoves that vent into fire regulated flues with thw knowledge of meeting square footage of area need... ie I have a 8x8x8 enclosed area to heat. Customize to meet the needs of that area. And proper ventilation along with time of use in staying safe.
There so many videos out there with cr%^ music and the same music competing with the voice over which I cant tolerate. But whether it be bluegrass or jazz or whatever else, you always have easy listening, well timed and relaxing music. May I complement you on this, there are so many youtubers out there that have NO IDEA how to put a video together.
Very interested in your work. Thinking about alternative ways to heat the chill Pommie home I was wondering if anyone had ever to reproduce the simplistic method used by the Swedish Admiralty in the 19th century? They had a furnace to heat cannonballs and red hot cannonballs were carried around the admiralty building and positioned in holders to provide heat in the various offices. It occurs to me that a system like that with an efficient rocket stove at the core could avoid the issues with in-house installation and flues etc. Yes cannonballs are hard to come by these days... but a foot length of railway track might be a handy alternative. There could be one in the stove and one in the house, swapping them over then it cools.
That's is an interesting history lesson. I have been toying with the idea of using a hot air engine to pump water heated through a rocket stove. Lot more work in the setup but not as hazardous as handling hot balls.
I have a few new designs that I'm tinkering with. My workload currently is a little bit ridiculous and I just have to keep chugging along and stay on top of it. 😅👍

Congratulations on your new employment position and the opportunities waiting for you to discover them. Which of your daughters will follow in your family tradition.? At some convenient, future time can you discuss your choices of cutting metals with torch vs plasma vs grinder cutting wheels. What you demonstrated in today’s video is an interesting example. The plasma cutting is significantly faster and exponentially more expensive than slower cutting wheels and drilling.

Jestem technkkiem obróbki skrawaniem i lubię jak ludzie robią coś dobrego i spasjią 👏
I love the fact that you're stick welding!! I have a hatred of MIG welding. I know, it's faster, but stick is old school and I love it!!
I actually weld with TIG about 99% of the time because I usually am working with stainless or occasionally clean mild steel, but I appreciate using an old rusty PC of mild.
Nice job!!!
Yeah I love stick welding too, any chance I get I'll stick metal together with the old stick.
Good luck with this new business. I am 70 and thinking on starting me a small craftey business. But any way God's speed on this adventure keep me in touch

Hi mate, just subscribed to your channel, one question, "Do you always work this fast?"
Hi, Frank!😁
So now what 6-in exhaust flu piping out the roof?
There's a heater called a smudge pot . Something you would consider putting your version of?
Hello, is it okay if I take out a 3 inch pipe from the side for smoke?
I am wondering why you are stick welding??
Just curious why you switched from stick welding to mig?
Rocket stoves that vent into fire regulated flues with thw knowledge of meeting square footage of area need... ie I have a 8x8x8 enclosed area to heat. Customize to meet the needs of that area. And proper ventilation along with time of use in staying safe.
Good on ya mate, I'm sure you'll do really well.
Must be the first time I've seen on the old arc welder.
Thanks mate 👍 I love that old welder. Can't kill it.
I was looking for something that I can actually make. I can't measure in metric. Would you know how many inches on everything?
Check out pulse detonation heaters - really efficient
Granulation’s and good luck🍀
There so many videos out there with cr%^ music and the same music competing with the voice over which I cant tolerate. But whether it be bluegrass or jazz or whatever else, you always have easy listening, well timed and relaxing music. May I complement you on this, there are so many youtubers out there that have NO IDEA how to put a video together.
Very interested in your work. Thinking about alternative ways to heat the chill Pommie home I was wondering if anyone had ever to reproduce the simplistic method used by the Swedish Admiralty in the 19th century? They had a furnace to heat cannonballs and red hot cannonballs were carried around the admiralty building and positioned in holders to provide heat in the various offices. It occurs to me that a system like that with an efficient rocket stove at the core could avoid the issues with in-house installation and flues etc. Yes cannonballs are hard to come by these days... but a foot length of railway track might be a handy alternative. There could be one in the stove and one in the house, swapping them over then it cools.
That's is an interesting history lesson. I have been toying with the idea of using a hot air engine to pump water heated through a rocket stove. Lot more work in the setup but not as hazardous as handling hot balls.
Excellent Job done :)
Is this safe to use on a enclosed shop?
Hello are you working on any new types of stoves
I have a few new designs that I'm tinkering with. My workload currently is a little bit ridiculous and I just have to keep chugging along and stay on top of it. 😅👍
My little stove with the extra stove pipe working really well
How do you use the rocket stove inside without a chimney?
In part 2, I show how I plummet into the shed
you rock little aussi !!
what was the pipe in the smokestack for?
It introduced air to help with the secondary burn. It really comes into play when the system is clogged up with Ash and isn't getting enough air through the normal means in the burn chamber.
Beware of the welding fumes as they are reported to cause tinnitus
Recently found and am enjoying your channel tremendously. Quick question: What is Frank? Pet? Friendly local wildlife?😄
Frank is a Australian possum, he's wild and has taken up residence in our work shop. Friendly for the most part, and fun fact the female has a pouch like a kangaroo's.
Congratulations on your new employment position and the opportunities waiting for you to discover them. Which of your daughters will follow in your family tradition.?
At some convenient, future time can you discuss your choices of cutting metals with torch vs plasma vs grinder cutting wheels. What you demonstrated in today’s video is an interesting example. The plasma cutting is significantly faster and exponentially more expensive than slower cutting wheels and drilling.
Wishing you and your family a blessed week, a gentle harvest season and a profitable journey. Peace brother
