My grandfather was a blacksmith in the middle of the Dust Bowl region of New Mexico, USA during the Great Depression. He believed, and passed on to my dad, that you measured a man’s wealth by the size of his “junk” pile and his ability to make the tools needed to work that junk pile out of pieces from that junk pile. He passed his qualifications when the shipyard manager gave him a hammer and anvil, forge, coke and a steel pile. If he could make his own tools, he passed. Grandad passed.
Well I do have a big junk pile. Known now days as a Future Projects Resource Centre. And I make all sorts of things with the junk including tools. I don't think I am extremely wealthy as my junk pile is only of moderate size however now you have straitened me out I will bring home more so called junk. John

You’re just gonna leave us with a cliffhanger like that. It’s like watching those old cartoon shows as a kid...to be continued. Then having to wait a week. Well, I’m excited to see what happens next. 🤣 You have a talent sir. Great work and video.
I didn't catch why you need vinegar and molasses ? If you need get rid of rust, just go with water and baking soda and put CAR battery charger PLUS on the object and Negative on the water IN PLASTIC container, is like electric erosion or something, but IT work 10000% Be well my friend John. AND yes I need a time to check all those NEW videos, what you publish, WITH GREAT HONOR !!!
No we don't ever use staples or that fencing clip. I think I know the one you mean I have seen them. I don't think they are a bad idea. Staples are hard to use with Australian hardwood probably used in sheep country before steel posts. From memory those fencing clips are a wire thing with a screw would be pretty simple to make a bender to make them. John
I planted a tree when I first came here and it grew about 1 foot in 17 years it is only about 15 foot from where I put the char and manure from the yards which I started doing about 3 years ago. In those 3 years it has grown huge. I don't know if its coincidence but its doing really well. John
this looks like a lot of hard work. my biochar (to me its charcoal from the open fire in a house in a big smoke) crusher will be a 2 cu' cement mixer with steel balls in it. i probably wont be making as much product as you. have you considered a bigger cement mixer?
Oh by the way I have a 1980 Holden vl commodore 6.1L v8 for sale it is a very rare one because the back body is rare and has had 400k worth of money spent on it to reply to me mate
I have thought a lot on that and I am thinking its own engine might be the go. When I crush the char I thought I might crush it into those shuttles cut off and getting the the crusher high enough has to be thought about. initially I thought about making it on a 3 point linkage and driving it with the tractor. I have a loading ramp and I could put the crusher on the high part and the shuttle on the low part that would solve the problem. John
I used 1to 7 water molasses and 4 x2 litre bottles of vinegar and its working great. I will show the results when I do the movie of the crusher finished. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 Hi John Thanks I eventually found it, great invention, if you changed out the 8mm mesh screen on the bottom to a 3 or 4 mm do you think your internal blade design would still work?
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 thanks John Im wanting to use it on lawns and turf so a very small size is needed so it falls threw the leaf and down to the soil profile
Hello John, I'm curious to know what molasses plays in the cleaning process of steel ? Also, what is the music you play in the background of your video's ? I dig it and cheers mate.
Thanks GF the molasses must be acidic or alkaline because it eats away rust if you put vinegar with it it seems to super charge it. All the music I use is from UA-cam Audio Library. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 I for got about the derusting. Takes a day or two. After its finished. You may could find a market for it. Or at least offer the plans for sale.
I will make another video as I get the crusher finished. John

The storm was a fizzer but it is building each day when it breaks it wiil go off. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 When is your cyclone season? What months?
@@charlescoker7752 Mainly Late December through to end of April but I have seen cyclones in November through to May There has been a cyclone recorded since weather records every month of the year. John
G'day mate, great idea. Can't wait to see it finished and operational. God bless you guys. 🦘👍
Thanks Josh I will be glad when its working as well. John
I really enjoy your videos Keep them coming Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your support. I would make more video's but earning a living gets in the way. John
Thanks John, looking forward to it all coming together 👍
Me to I have a few more drums coming so I should be ready for when it dries up. John
This is pretty cool!
Thanks I hope it won't take long to Finnish. John
Wow nice mate
Thanks Ali Nazari. John
Wow amazing project idea Big thumbs up
I have been thinking on it for a while. John

Well if it takes you back to your childhood thats not to bad. I'm exited to get it going. John

I have heard of it but never tried it I think it causes electrolysis like ships get if not properly protected. Stay safe and well. John
Future projects resource centre! Gold!
Yeah that bloke has some great sayings. John
hi John. I made the biochar burner, but I think I'll leave this one to the pro's. :)
Its a bit of learning to get it right but its worth it. John
You use this fencing connectors. Davos Fencing Clip - The End of Fencing Staples? Can not find a link. Only on Facebook. But are located in Victoria.
No we don't ever use staples or that fencing clip. I think I know the one you mean I have seen them. I don't think they are a bad idea.

Keep going ol mate yah doing a great job 😁
Thanks the jobs never seem to end. John
Man I do not envy you with your poor soil. Ours is deep, rich and black. Looks like your plan is working though. Jim

Yeah I have considered a lot of things. I am trying to get to a point where I can make a big amount so I am going to need a fast uniform crusher. John
Oh by the way I have a 1980 Holden vl commodore 6.1L v8 for sale it is a very rare one because the back body is rare and has had 400k worth of money spent on it to reply to me mate
Thats a lot of money to spend on a car. John
Good Day John!!! Guess you will use the PTO from one of your tractors to drive the crusher?
I have thought a lot on that and I am thinking its own engine might be the go. When I crush the char I thought I might crush it into those shuttles cut off and getting the the crusher high enough has to be thought about. initially I thought about making it on a 3 point linkage and driving it with the tractor.

What were the percentages for that rust removal ? Molasses 1 to 6 water and how much vinegar to that?
I used 1to 7 water molasses and 4 x2 litre bottles of vinegar and its working great. I will show the results when I do the movie of the crusher finished. John
Hi , how did the bio char crusher turn out ?
Eagerly awaiting the second instalment
The crusher is finished and I have video's of it working. John

Hi John
Thanks I eventually found it, great invention, if you changed out the 8mm mesh screen on the bottom to a 3 or 4 mm do you think your internal blade design would still work?
@@denveready3486 yes but you would have powder. I now have a 20 mm square mesh and I get average match head size char. John
@@farminglifeaustralia6716 thanks John
Im wanting to use it on lawns and turf so a very small size is needed so it falls threw the leaf and down to the soil profile
@@denveready3486 recently I made a char crusher out of a 5'' grinder and that produced very fine char. There is a video on it. John
