"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done! - Розваги

Put a misting sprayer at the end of your conveyor belt yo keep the rock dust down .
That's a great idea
A little pressurized tank and one tiny nozzle last hours and be an easy additional set up
I've been thinking he should spray some water on the output since the beginning, to keep dust down.
Yer agreed but you need the mist to be just off the end off the belt. Otherwise you will run into trouble with belt slip and material build up on the belt.
Dust mask to avoid silicosis (Fine silicon dust damages lungs)
Drinking my coffee and watching Kevin break rocks. Sounds like a good Saturday morning.
Shut up
Thank you for wearing a respirator!! As an Respiratory Therapist, it is so important to avoid lung damage and other diseases!
The googly eyes were a masterful touch!
I love this idea, especially making the unit mobil. You have created another income stream straight from the skunkworks. The need for crushed gravel is universal, and the costs to get it trucked in is crazy.
Neat to see the true capacity of a machine like this, seems like it'll crush as much as you can feed it with these modifications.
This series gives me so much happiness. Lol. I like the idea of making it mobile. Thank you for keeping us up to date. 😊
6:30 Instead of 'whistle while you work', it's 'giggle as you work'! During all of that were you thinkin', "I'm gunna do some sketchy *stuff* doo-dah, doo-dah!" It's awesome watching you make literally almost anything, missed your videos, glad your back!
This rock crusher journey gets more complex with each episode. The graveled drive looks neat.
That is success!!
For what you originally wanted, to dump loads of rock and it would filter in and go onto a conveyor belt away from the crusher. That was the dream many months ago
But as we know for Kevin it is never completed, there's always something more to build or something to add
He doesn't know what it is until he finds it or sometimes it's one of his mad dreams and visions that send him on some wild treasure hunt for a piece of something that he can adapt
Dreams vs reality...for Kevin there are a lot of shades of gray, but always a silver lining
Now everything has to go mobile, with it's own dump truck, detachable bed, solar, powered, jackery integrated, homeless employment, rock depository, for food center unit.
That's gravy
God bless you Kevin
Eating breakfast drinking a cup of coffee and watching Kevin doesn’t get any better than that.❤️
Kevin always make my Sat morning watching you build something useful all inventions were built out of necessity.
Love the Big DAD energy at 20:00 and that laugh😂😂😂😂😂 happy Father’s Day!
Kevin is always coming up with something. I don't think his mind ever rests. Neat little machine.
Never knew watching a guy build a rock crusher and then crushing rocks with said machine would be so fun. Thanks a million ! ! ! !
just wanted to say your crushing it!
I couldn't wait til Kevin to upload another video about the rock crusher, another banger kevin . Much love and respect from here in Kentucky
Awesome Kevin!!! That shaker system is how our 1962 coal boilers worked (before we had to stop burning coal) Stokers!
Very cool to see you tinkering on the whole thing, improving it (almost) every time! Would love to see more!
32:09 Now here's a spot to put another set of googly eyes!
Thanks for the Saturday (my case Sunday) morning entertainment Kevin! Always entertaining and informative. Happy Father’s Day to you!! 🎉
This video rocks!
Awesome setup Kevin I’m glad it’s working out for you. Some adjustments here and there is part of the process. Making it entirely mobile is a smart decision. Keep up the good stuff, cheers!
As you were attaching the shaker motor to the shaker deck, I was wondering how long the motor bearings were going to last. Well, we'll never know because the motor detached itself from the deck before the bearings could be tested. Your changes to this machine is why I keep watching the rock crushing videos. Keep them coming.
The best way to start my Saturday. Watching any of your ideas is worth it
Really good video Kevin! The modifications you made to the rock crusher seemed to work really well, except for that motor that seemed to be a bit of a pain but did well when it was attached. Hopefully what you have planed to put on their will work better for you. Your driveway is looking better. Thats a really good piece of equipment you have Kevin very cool! Looking forward to your next one!
I could watch you tinker with this, crush rock, and build driveways for days. Keep going!
Good job Kevin! Funny, at the end of the video where you are laying the crushed rock on to the floor, Frankie looks in so much danger of being run over as you are filming in time lapse...! 🤣
I’ve watched every episode on your channel. This was my favourite. Rock crushers are mesmerising.
Awesome job figuring out the shaker/vibrator. I was trying to tell you it was mounted wrong, but my words fell onto deaf ears...😂😅 I truly enjoy watching you fabricate whatever it is you need. Love what you're doing 😊
Kevin loves crushing rocks video after video after video after video 😂
Always glad to see that you've posted, though I had other things to attend to for a couple of days, so I'm just seeing this now(Tuesday). I'm so glad you keep the bad/screw up parts in your videos. It's always great to learn and grow from our mistakes, as well as the mistakes others, so I very much appreciate you keeping the mistakes in! Driveway looks great! I have no notes on that. I did see a comment about a misting sprayer at the end of the belt to keep dust down and that's a great idea, but it needs to be slightly off of the belt to avoid slippage of the belt on the rollers
From winter to spring, to the summer now, we have become old friends from new friends.🥰
Kevin's videos always make me look forward to them.🎉
The third update of the rock crusher has made its capabilities stronger and demonstrated the durability of our machine.❤
Watching its progress is like seeing children grow up little by little, and it also provides us with good suggestions for improving our machines.🤝🏻
One suggestion is that the vibration motor in the feeding part is a bit small, resulting in insufficient vibration force. It would be better if the power of the vibration motor could be increased.
Do you guys have a vibration motor kicking around there you could send?
Kevin & Don are like the 2 man A-Team! a few sticks a broken window and a roll of duct tape and they can build anything
More like McGyver!!!
I pay 300 bucks for one truck load of gravel from the pit. This is awesome. You make your own. You outta look into building rock walls around the property too. Great engineering on the tabletop 🐸🍺🔪🔥
You know, I heard gravel guys like to run high bankers to find gold in their big gravel piles.
Could be a fun video idea.
watched another Canadian guy saw a tree into lumber and you crush rocks ... man thanks to you guys I got a full days work in --- now if I could just get you two Canadians to drop all that off in Florida - I'd gladly buy you a nice dinner!
Love your rock crusher at work - thanks Kevin! Wood chippers are great too!
Love the evolution of your channel, btw..... building crazy and useful stuff. Always knew you were inventive with your cabin builds. Fun to watch you create new things.
So glad to see how the driveway turned out!
That's awesome! And if you find a gold vein on your land, you're all set up to process the ore! 😂
Kevin, we have a running club for our hunting dogs (beagles). A few years back we put grounded asphalt in the driveway. After a couple years there was no do difference with a paved road. The sun melted it into a layer of a nice coat of asphalt. Good luck from Ontario Cornwall
Yes please! More of your ideas is good for me!😊
Rock is our best crop here! Love this crusher! I would definitely rent it if rental yards had it.
I don't know what it is but everything you do is fun to watch. Thanks for making the videos, you are really good at it.
More rock crushing upgrade videos please
love this series! keep em coming
I live by a creek which has a endless supply every time it rains it replenishes my supply ✌️
Awesome as always!
Stare at the crusher while its on. It has a perfect Shaker already built on it. Springs only on the feed table, lever arm from the Crushing plate to shake the table. Its there and you wont have to plug it in. Awesome job.
So sorry Kevin, you have caught the crusher bug. It’s like gold fever; the never ending search to find the easiest way to crush rocks into pebbles using the maximum amount of your time. I know it well.
Once you get the shaker table sorted, you'll have a perfect machine with a bulletproof engine.
ehy do i find it so entertaining to watch a man crushing rocks damn you kevin i could watch you do anything man keep the videos coming
Fun fact, propane is heavier than air. After removing the valve I turn em upside down for a day or 2 before commencing to apply fire and/or electricity to achieve modifications! Never had a problem. Also propane only explodes at a perfect ratio, may ignite at others but won't explode unless a relatively perfect ratio of 17% propane under pressure is achieved.
Grab a double switch junction box and wire the power thru a switch to a duplex plug so you can stop and start the conveyer and shaker with 1 switch. Safety sometimes!!
I was going to mention that on almost all of the crushers I have seen the shaker was on a jack shaft and the motor was solid mounted. You may be able to run both the shaker and the conveyor from 1 motor or like bigger ones off of the crusher motor thru jack shafts.
I don't know why crushing rock is so satisfying, but it is!
definitely need more rock crusher content kevin 👌
Love your engineering. This video was awesome.
Mr. Googly was a definite asset when that big round spud didn’t want to take one for the team. I think he threw it back 4 times. You are a master tinkerer. I’ve been thinking about adding a vibratory feature to a large lawn roller for the last ten or fifteen years. I had already decided that if/when I build this, I’d use a shaft with off-balance weights and turn it with a belt from a gas engine. That would make it work without rattling the nuts and bolts out of the engine. I don’t think the bearings in your furnace motor would last long if you did find a way to keep it continuously running. But I love your scientific method. You have definitely identified a list of things that didn’t work. Keep on experimenting Mr. Edison! 🥸👍👀✅
Thanks for the video Kevin!
Love you build videos. Great postive content. Full stop
Your crushing it Kevin! This video rocks so hard
Love it, Kevin. Keep it up!
Love this video Kevin, more like this please
Great job Kev
In Aus. Topsoil/spoil piles. A lot of farmers will have rock piles from there fields. And the side of the road/cuttings through hillsides.
Now. To the concentric vibrator. Usually you need to solid mount the motor and put the concentric part on the shaker. And belt drive it. Constantly off weighting the motor usually ends up with bearings exiting the program.
Also Mrs Kevin must be the most amazing and understanding lady to let you loose building and creating what comes into your head.
I am a little concerned that watching Kevin get his rocks off was so satisfying.
Always love your videos Kev
Things so loud. Kinda like your original dryer machine. Run it at night in the neighborhood 😆
Kevin you now need to fabricate a land plane for the tractor to spread your gravel.
Great video, Kevin!
the moving jaw has an eyelet ... you can use that to shake the slide
Awesome video Kevin
I’m highly impressed with the crusher itself. For a small company that has left over building rubble or the like it would be ideal. You will know when the plates wear as your material will get bigger
you have the excavator, just build a hopper to fill with the rocks. jaw crushers work better when they are loaded more. if you noticed it crushes better when there is weight pushing the rocks into the jaw. keeps them from bouncing out
Since I have Covid for probably another week, I will sit here and watch you break rocks😊
Get well soon!
Yay man just watched your 6th month old video of buying it and here I am. So excited
The less lazy guy on UA-cam great work
FYI for anyone making a vibrator. The flywheel has a "offset" weight not a one-sided weight. You need to have mass on the other side. Also for a shaker deck there needs to be bearings so the force isn't translated back to the motor It is run through the bearing. You can get various size to hold shaft bearings at farm and fleet or tractor supply or home Depot... They are pretty common. Other than that awesome design just didn't think it all the way through.
You the Man Kevin😊
24:30 My thoughts here are that you may want to have the offset weight centered on the table. I noticed that someof the rocks creep upwards on the far end of the weight. Another option is to create a half-housing for your motor with some bearings... half in that it just holds the ends in place. You'll probably want to extend the shaft through the weight so you can put another bearing on the other side... leaving it hanging like that puts a lot of force on the shaft within the motor which can be bad. You want to have the least amount of undesirable force acting on the motor to increase longevity.
Have your crusher converor feed the second conveyor and right into the truck. You could also set the second conveyor up as a stacker set to a higher elevation and if you put wheels that can be angled on it, you will be able to slew the conveyor in a big arc to stretch out the pile. You'll never get a good weld on the sheet metal the motor is made of. Make a bearing to handle the shaker and run it with a fan belt from the motor.
Great job it’s awesome ❤❤😂😂
Try connecting your feeding table with the jaw of the crusher, that way you would get a good shacking.
Like a metal bar from the liftingpoint of the jaw too the side of the table
Love the shirt Kevin, I live about an hour and a half south of there.
This video rocks.
woot. i love these videos
Another ingenious creation, Kevin! And Don made a cameo. I'd love to see any ideas rummaging through your head in future videos.
You should just make a belt Tensioner/Vibrator that works off the conveyer belts motor, It'll be isolated by the rubber belt, and maybe stop your issue of destroying motors? You can make a full sized multi bearing setup too so bearings aren't a issue in the future
Happy the shaker motor broke off RATHER than the 'blade' you welded to the shaft, that looked deadly if it had gone flying off. The propane tank to keep the rocks from flying up is way better than what I had suggested. Only thing missing is some grizzly bars on the end of the conveyor to 'grade' the gravel but I think that would be too much for your purposes. Was thinking you might be able to run a belt from the diesel motor up to the shaker table, so you wouldn't need an electrical connection when you are taking it to the rockpiles. Farmers might pay you to convert their rock piles into gravel for them.
FWIW you can probably improve the lifespan of that vibratory motor drastically by running a belt to some pillow block bearings with a shaft with the vibratory weight.
Unscreened fill can be easily had for free from your local DPW/Highway department or excavation companies, especially those that handle bigger jobs. They have to pay to haul fill (rock, concrete debris, asphalt chunks, etc) to the dump. It's gonna be junky material with dirt, organic matter etc but for free 99, cant go wrong
If I may suggest, you have two conveyors. Have one dump onto the other and then dump into your trailer. Eliminate the need to load the trailer after the fact.
I think you have something there. Cool.
You want to take a trip for the summer? I need some asphalt crushed from big to small in my driveway. Just down below Lake Erie? lol
Suggestion for you place a large v-shaped deflector on the ground at the output of the conveyor belt with the pointy side up to deflect the gravel output to both sides rather than directly underneath it
Still waiting for the “ cursing in the woods with Kevin “ series lol 😜
At some point when I'm better setup to fabricate stuff I definitely need to build myself one of these. Recently got a section on my off grid property cleared so I can build and we found that the ground is extremely rocky. If I can pull out at least the smaller rocks I could make quite a lot of gravel. A load of gravel goes for around $700 per dump truck load so the machine would pay for itself in a short time.
As a farmer, I can confirm. I would LOVE for someone to ask me to pick up rocks in the field. They have an old nickname I'm not going to repeat on UA-cam. It's not very nice. Try to go between harvest and planting so you can drive around the field. Rocks are very hard on the blades of the equipment.
I've got a couple of good contacts for the next harvest. When I can collect rocks!
I can see that it would be nice if you could run the conveyor and the shaker from the diesel motor instead of the electric motors.
Maybe you could mount some pulleys to drive them on the side opposite the crusher's drive belts.
When you mount everything on a trailer you will have a nice compact independent unit.
As you learned, you never want to have the offset weight driven directly off the motor shaft, especially that kind of motor with brass bushing bearings. You might as well put it into a power hammer and just beat it to death. You want to drive off of a jack shaft possibly even two so that the vibrations don't make it back to the motor. Using something like a front wheel bearing and cv joint from a car whould be a good option. Just weight one side of the wheel to give you your offset weight. The wheel is big enough that you could spin it slower meanwhile being heavy enough to give a good thimping vibration that will move the load of rocks.
Kevin I work for a company called Tennant that makes street sweepers and floor cleanerd and they use vibrators to help empty the dibri from the hoppers , the way that they work is having a weight attched evenly to one side of the motors shaft , usually about 16 to 20 oz and it allows it to vibrate evenly and with far more force . you can contact me to get the exact specs , but just looking at your design it needs close to twice the weight and welded even on one side of the shaft
Any thought to grading the gravel and sorting it by size so you have different options for different applications? Finely crushed stone for walking paths, bigger stones for road base. Also, are you going to compact the driveway at all? Building a drag to shape, compact, and maintain your driveway seems like a project you might consider.
Might be worth putting the eccentric weight for the vibration on a separate shaft from the motor and connect via a belt. That way you don't trash the bearings in the motor from the unbalanced weight.
