At the beginning, when you were welding the tabs on the pipe, I was thinking to myself, "Is he building a rocket?"

Yes, you may not be a prolific producer of content but what you do publish is always worth watching.

I always enjoy seeing what you build. Your welds are really nice too. :)

Nice easy watching with no talk. Just awesome.

This is the second video of yours that I've watched, I like the craftsmanship, and also the "DIY friendly" approach. (It's also refreshing, in a world where one AI can handle an entire factory full of machines, to see three humans "dance" with one machine to make it work:) Thank you.

Enjoy your vids mate. Goodluck getting to the next milestone.

First day was short. The next one lasted a week. Great design. Greetins from Poland.

Excited for the next build!

Oh my god, I need this one inch steel tubing to put inside a metal drum so I can use firewood to heat up a outdoor tub. 🥲 you’re a legend. Now send me one to the USA.

Nice build - well built. Really cool result.

Love your work mate, thanks.

That's a big commitment to making coils. :) I guess you will be making many more now. Smart move on being the ballast for the test. Work smarter let others do the sweating. I hear you guys are out Boonah-ish way. You helped my nephew Cory with his exhaust. Great to have local talent on KZfaq.

I look forward to the next build! Ty

I love that you use a metal machinist lathe to turn a rectangular piece of wood to create a cylindrical piece of wood (with a knob on one end)

I always love your content!

You have been on a bit of a bender!

Nice build and editing!

Hey mate, nice video again 👍 Please READ: Welding over zinc is poisonus. There was as a guy locally that prefered to do auto repaor with zinc sheet metal. He was doing it for years. And now he is no longer with us 😒 So please, do the local cleanup before welding, i would love to see more of your videos as you do a realy nice job 👍

God bless ye merry gentleman.

I like your way of doing things and sharing your ideas . Definitely worth making a machine mate , only a suggestion but possibly a reduction drive motor

Welding Gal? Hope there was some good ventilation there mate! Love your work!

I felt like i was caught in a Sergio Leone fueled welding time warp...where am i?😂 great work! I thought that you might adapt it onto a autowheel rim and use the weight of the car/truck/ whatever to help?

Very cool. Love the vid. Your machine for emptying the sand - slow rolling with a vibrator on it would probably work

Love it, and please make more of these! Ps: welding galvanised steel without cleaning before is very bad for you. But I guess you know that already. Just would like you to keep making cool things a videos!

is this guitar doing that christmas song? Comfort and Joy? In June? I'm into it.

nice helper!

Looks like you need to flip that contraption upside down on some sawhorses and fill the base with concrete. For ballast.

Thank you for sharing

Was your mother's name necessity? Great invention mate. I'm the proud owner of one of your little stoves, keep up the great work, wishing you all the best for the future.

For draining the sand, can you have it upright and vibrate it with jigsaw or recip saw?

Bluesiest version of the carol God rest ye merry gentlemen. starting at 7,24. props to the muso. nice build to.

Hi there I liked how the wood in the lath went candy striped due to the shutter speed of the camera

You could try using a vacuum cleaner. A clean one of course this way you can recapture the sand and use it again

Nice work Steve! I expect that if you are going to make any more 25 mm s/s pipe spirals that you will utilise some of those electric motors and gearboxes that you mentioned having. A metal internal spring like electrician's use, should be faster and easier than the sand method. Watching the piece of timber on the lathe was wild especially the way it seemed to twist like a aircraft propeller. Is it still just the three girls that you have? I wasn't sure if I missed one arriving. 😂 Mark from Melbourne Australia

would something like a cement tumbler which also can be angled be worth looking at for your sand removal or would something like a large air compressor to blow out the air be the way you want to go?

Any particular reason why you've opted for stainless steel over copper tubing? Looking forward to seeing the completed unit.

"once seen it cannot be unseen. Let's not talk about it again." Immediately begins to polish his wood. 😂

Could you put that inside a container...and put the exhaust of say a small engine thru that pipe...and inside the tank have the water...kinda like a reverse heat exchanger I know many small engine exhausts can use 1" or less exhaust fittings so the pipe should be enough to handle the volume of exhaust from a small engine.

grab a diff ;) one axle bolted to the ground, arm on the other, bendy doodad on the crown wheel/housing. you got a 2:1 reduction. used to bend that pipe you got as a solid bar... but then... get yourself the proper wheels. the rollers arent that expensive. or make em. rather than wrap it around the cylinder with the squashing, just roll it through. lot easier. nice fat flywheel (tractor tyre full of water?) driving one roller, and just keep feeding through and squeezing it a bit more. any radius. any pitch... no sand, no sweat. look at a standard ring roller? youre damn keen trying to do it in one pass directly. not sure how you attach at the ends on these, but stainless? i suggest using compression fittings for this stuff. one, old boiler lessons... you wanna be able to clean them out. lot of scale builds up. i have really good water here, and i still get bad scale. it cant be avoided. two. stainless fatigues if its restrained on thermal cycles. stopped making monotubes unless i run distilled water several years ago... the best approach is the radiator type thing, with a LOT of compression glands... old "babcox and wilcock" or "yarrow" type things. even if it isnt boiling but simply heating. large bore upper and lower receivers or headers, and 20 or more straight pipes between in the flue. and only let the thing rest in sockets, no bolts, clamps, tie downs. has to expand freely. i bought a whole bunch of heat pipes for an experiment with them, but yeah... never got around to it. make a "hedgehog" type inner sleeve with an outer jacket tank sleeve thingy for throwing in the chimney of the normal fireplace... copper is so much more forgiving for long term service.

….. make a machine that spins this…. Ummm…😳 You’ve got one, it’s called a lathe. 😂 Further, if you attach the follower (bending runner?) to the saddle, you can have auto advance. 👍 I would envisage running the lathe in deep reduction, the arbour held between centres and tubing away from the chuck. It’s how I’ve seen springs and stuff being formed. Anyways, great channel. 👍❤️

Does that fit snugly over a standard 150 stovepipe ?

Do you do commission work? I'm intending to include a bath in my Tiny Home on Wheels and want to use a rocket stove to heat the water.

looks good mate copper be easier

Might I make a comment that could make it easier to use mount a chain gear for using a motor to turn it for you

5:25 in the style of This Old Tony

if you heat the pipe - it will be easier to bend

you could achieve a better result if you used a better formed die for the pipe when coiling and using water instead of sand to fill the pipe with.

Try using your lathe to make coils....

How do you adjust the pitch of the coil?

Free willy! 🐳

G-Day Mates, Long Time No See Y'alls? You've Been Too Busy Makin Babies & Not Workin Hard Enough? I Like The Way You Used Your Wife As Dead Weight On Bender Table... 🤣🤣😁😎

Try water instead of sand. Water doesn't compress and is a lot easier to remove. 😉

A engine ring gear or flywheel with a starter motor would make your life easier and not require all the extra help to operate

Cool. Now that you can bend ss pipe...go on and make a worm for your still. ;)

can you price me a pre made coil w sh to 74403

Great seeing your beautiful wife helping in this video. I have a machinist friend that uses coiled steel springs inserted in copper pipe in place of your sand. I’m not sure where he sourced his springs or how long they are but I can ask if you are interested. Will your be compressing the loose coil or two down into the stack? On The Outsider, another KZfaq channel, a Canadian used a copper coil that was inside a kettle of sand to heat water. The sand acted like a heat battery that continued to transfer heat as the campfire burned out. The thermal siphon was used to heat water to keep his camper sled warm during winter nights. (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rp5ifqmZy8jGcok.html) Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother

Nice build but I reckon you need a longer willy or some gears. 😁

Beautiful thing...
