How to stabilize wood without spending money

This video is all about my newest experiment- stabilizing wood. But to make it more exciting I used only things I found at home or junkyard. The only thing I spend money for was resin of course, to have proper results. In the future my goal is to make more proffesional equipment for stabilizing wood.
And why to stabilize wood? The perfect thing about it is that you can use any wood (too soft, a bit rotten, etc..) and turn it into very hard high quality wood. For example in this little experiment I used Thuja wood.
In these condtitions it takes a really long time to soak resin into the wood, my old compressor from fridge has a bit less power I need. I hope I will fix that in the future with some vacuum beast :D
Hope you will enjoy the video :)
If you like the video please share it with your friend to support my work :)

In the early days of Australia to protect fences from dry rot they would use drums split by thirds keeping 2/3 so that you could put a log or board inside the drum but first you put your logs in then put the retaining log like a "c" on it's back to stop the logs floating and fill it with what ever you were using to preserve your logs like old sump oil or creosote the you would carefully light a fire under it to heat your oil and as the heat rose the moisture and air would cook out and as the oil cooled the wood would draw the treatment in preserving your wood from white ant and moisture, obviously there were a lot of precautions taken to prevent firessuch as having the fire away frome and channeling the heat under the drums

Very inspiring video. For a better world. Therefore, all your followers should know that this process is industrialized by the Dutch company Accsys. They sell their timber under the brand Accoya and their plates under the brand Tricoya. So now you can buy wood guaranteed rot free for 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground or freshwater, without the need to buy hardwood and thus without damaging tropical rain forest. Accsys is building two extra factories now, and since the publication of their Q1 results, the shares Accsys are rising.

However the higher the vacuum used the higher the chance your chamber will imploded. I have collected the same gear as you have and will build mine using 2 compressor very soon.
