I was a mechanical engineer for 40 years, but I still learn a ton when watching your great videos.

I doesn't matter if it works or not, just seeing the work, the craftmanship, the skill, it's enough for me and why i love your videos and come back for more! Thank you

It's always a learning experience to watch a project that failed. Glad you uploaded it.

This is how I started my business.... No fancy tools, just be creative and do good work and good things will come. Awesome video!

I love that you share the projects that doesn’t turn out as expected. I look forward to seeing you improve it!

Working as good as expected or not right off the bat, still these are mad skills you have! A very slick build!

Beautiful!!! I wanted to build a chipper years ago. Had parts together also. But the very very best part of your project is I did not see any parts being cut out with a GRIMDER!!!!! Very good job!!!!!!

I like the concept. I love your creativity and the fact that the stuff you build will certainly outlast a commercially bought machine. Patiently waiting for the fix video.

Sir, I wish I could even imagine how to design as well as you! And to top that off, your craftsmanship is wonderful. Bravo!

No worries. Thicker flywheel and Bob's your uncle! 👌Great job!

It does not matter if it did not work from the first trial. It is a beautiful piece that can be improved. Great job!

Dude!! your projects can survive a nuclear blast! the thickness of the pieces in your designs is impressive! they must weight a ton!!! made to last! Bravo! 👏

Whatever it is, it will be a minor adjustment I'm sure!!! Your builds are crazy AWESOME!!! 👌 👏

You are a one man factory, thank you for sharing.

The fabrication skills and inventions are just admirable ! I wish I had all those machines to build things.

Thanks for the showing us this...I'm impressed by your physical strength. You should be careful though you don't injure yourself.

Изо всех самодельщиков на KZfaq ты самый крутой,заводское качество всех самоделок.У нас про таких как ты говорят "мастер -золотые руки".

I agree with some of the posts about a thicker flywheel, but your flat stock to deflect your wood chips need to be angle iron. This is how larger commercial chippers are designed. Keep it up man! Sweet videos! 👍🏻

Bardzo lubię oglądać Pańską pracę , bo jest wybitnie kreatywna i niemal doskonała konstrukcyjnie. Zawsze można urządzenie udoskonalić. Pozdrawiam 😊.

С удовольствием смотрю Ваши видео! Замечптельные качестаенные вещи Вы изготавливаете.

Dobra robota! I zrobione na bardzo wysokim poziomie zawodowym.

I'm following your channel for a long time and this the first Failed (at first attempt) project I remember, keep working and let's us know how to improve it.

Excellent working skills and craftsmanship! You give me ideas for other projects as well.Ive learned a lot watching your video You are a true asset to your country! Thank you and keep it coming.

I own a eager Beaver chipper. It shoots the chips down ,have a collection bag for it . A few mods and it will work for you. I had to buy mine 26 years ago. Dude you made yours,respect 👍👍.

👍Nice build; looking forward to your improvements. I imagine something involving more air flow for ejection of chips.

Я в восторге от такой мастерской и тем более от умения так красиво и грамотно что то сделать.Нет слов, просто молодец. Супер.

Failure leads to success. And I always trust the guts of an engineer. He never fails.

Când ești meseriaș și ai și scule și utilaje,îți iese orice lucrare de artă! Felicitări meseriașule!

As someone who works for a company who builds and services chippers your design is spot on. We'll done.

Juz ponad milion subskrybentów!!!! 😲 Gratuluję i pozdrawiam!!

Your fabrication skills are amazing. I like the PTO driven ones - more power!

I design quite a bit of stuff and it normally only comes close to being right after 4 or 5 revisions but it can be many more. Thankfully 3D printing makes R&D a little easier than welding things up though! Great effort anyway! You take what you have learnt and improve the next design! Thanks for sharing!

Okrągła obudowa i wystawione śmigła wyrzutu o 5 cm poza krawędź tarczy tnącej i pozbył byś się problemy z wyrzutem 😄 ale ogółem szacunek, bardzo ładnie wyszło 😉

Да это видео просто пушка! Растёшь все выше и выше) Молодец так держать)

You have corners in your blower housing, should be a radius. And get your rpms on the flywheel up a bit higher. Also make the fans on the inside just a bit bigger. Small engine, but crank your flywheel mass up as much as possible to chew through the thicker stuff easier. Fantastic start to a fun project! I own a tractor powered chipper capable of 15 cm branches. .75 meters in diameter and 25mm thick, two knives.

My father and I made a ridiculous chipper once and used 2, 1/2" discs for the flywheel with flails on bolt shafts between them. The chipper was bolt on cutters on smaller windows sorta like what you have. The whole flywheel assembly including bearings is bolt together. It vaporizes xmas trees! no warping to worry about. We did have to use a tensioner hand lever to slip the belt though since it's so heavy. The whole thing is basically a stack of plates including the outer casing. Might I suggest hardened counter sunk socket heat flat screws for the blades? The SHCS you have are going to be impinged upon and bend over. That spot takes a ton of abuse! Keep making cool stuff, I love the channel!

Great job, thank you brother. You are so talented

The project is very good, congratulations. One thing is missing, the air intake next to the shaft, on the fan side. However, be careful not to loosen the clamping of the bearing on the wall of the box. In my opinion.

Long way nobody had done one time I’m so glad to see more 💪💪💪👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is the true of these kind of builds, sometimes you just need to try and figure it out by making and testing. But as always great project!

if it works or not, I could watch your videos all day.

Cannot wait for part two 👍👍👍

Love your honesty!!! That's pure gold!!!

Thanks for putting this up! Appreciate the honesty!

I think the stiffening ribs on the cutting wheel need to be welded to the rear of the blade supports, and then tangentially to the hub. This would put the stiffening where its most needed. Also, some spring loaded, driven rollers to drag the branches into the blades might help. Otherwise, an effective machine. I liked your driven chuck, for circular, cutting and welding. Very ingenious!👍 .

Super robota, uwielbiam twoje filmy i coś czuję że będzie czesc druga z tego rębaka

SOOO CLOSE!!! It is still MIND BLOWINF to see you make a wood chipper with your bare hands!!! Maybe some type of blade on the back of the cutting wheel to act as a fan that blows it out, and also can scoop the chamber too. YOU are the expert tho, I know you will make it PERFECT!!! GREAT JOB BRO!!

Brother you will have some things that you will have to rework and that's ok look at all you have accomplished .....your work is amazing each project is from scratch a true joy to watch your creations !! 👍👍

urggg, your fabrication skills are farrrrr off this world. the cut with plasma torch is just so clean and smooth :)) like baby smooth. Please take care and keep up the good work!

Bardzo dobra robota 👍

Всем здравия! Молодец дядя, зачёт! Вот только в частном гараже вряд ли столько и такого оборудавания есть. Производственная мастерская, скорое всего и дядя спец!!! Всем добра!!!

Mi hermano usted tiene un taller de lujo, pura calidad de herramientas, y usted trabaja fino.... saludos desde Panama 🇵🇦👍😎

More power, 1 less knives and more air flow. Thanks for sharing your successes and failures.

I love your video. I would say the biggest thing you could do to improve operation would be to add a round inner shroud that is a close clearance to the blower fins. Eliminate the corners where the chips can collect and you should be in business.

And once you iron out the bugs.... add a two knurlled roller feeder to it.....like the commercial ones have :) I love your creativity !

Amazing project! don't worry, go ahead , I'm sure you find the right solution very quickly

Another amazing Project. I'm surprised that you didn't make something bigger... Although you would need at least a 20Hp motor

Fantástico video cómo siempre,,,👍

Hola que práctico, eficiente y demostrativa la construcción de esta máquina felicitaciones al Sr Constructor.

Jak zawsze petarda. Pozdrawiam

Талантище!

I’m curious what went wrong here and how you fixed it? Watching the time lapse weld and fab on the fly was a thing of beauty! If only I had video of the projects my dad and I did over the last 40 to 50 years in our trucking yard…

Not everything works first try ... looks like a solid build. Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

Spoko zrobione widać ze solidna konstrukacja

Nice try, I'm sure it can be sorted out and you're the man to do that.

Fantastic work, dude! Nicely done!!!! 😃 That should be great for compost! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

I would definitely like to see you build a 3rd version of the chipper, a screw -type chipper.

Projekt świetny. Wykonanie luksus. Do poprawy drobiazgi - wyważyć wirnik (śruba z podkładkami gdzieś na wirniku), podnieść obroty wirnika, wyciąć okno /otwory po przeciwnej stronie żeby miał którędy powietrze zasysać to wtedy nie będzie się zrębką zapychał.

Wyższe obroty głowicy tnącej i wyrzut zrębki w dolnej części był by tu rozwiązaniem. Ale i tak praca pierwsza klasa.

The blades need to be grooved to reduce friction between the cutting edge and wood so that the chips easily fly off. Then you need to create a turbine like structure in the other side of wheel with light weight flaps so that there is an impeller effect which will drawn in wind and throw it alongwith the chips in the outside.

Cool project and cool that you showed that it did not perform as expected! The wheel needs about 1000rpm on a larger chipper from what I remember. With four knives and a smaller wheel some more energy is good. Knives could use some relief angle on the backside to clear the chips and make it self feeding on thicker diameters. The distance from the anvil to the knife is very important. Some more airflow is nice. And did I mention that this was a cool project.. Looking forward to see how you diagnosed and improved it. And to see how you balanced the wheel would be interesting.

its gonna work just step back and think what has gone wrong and knowing your mind you will be able to fix it....well done

On larger chippers there are feed dog rollers to feed the wood in rate with the chipper blades. The speed of the blade has to be high. So the ratio of blade speed to feed speed. You may have to reduce the height of the chute to help with chips exhaust. Good luck with your update. As you get lots of " IDEAS " from people which 99% is crap.👍🤦‍♂️

You need to add flat 90° wings to the back of the flywheel for more air movement

My hat off to you. Excellent work!

Amazing job man!!!Best regards from Brazil!

I would think 2 improvements, 1) a curved shroud on the inside following the blades, 2) a mechanical feed mechanism in the intake chute, some larger PTO powered units have like tank tracks that raise and lower to feed stuff in.That being said, I love watching you make stuff. I don't have nearly the skill set to do what you do and its always a pleasure to watch you work. I've seen tones of DIY stuff on KZfaq. Much of it is barely functional and dangerous to operate. I always feel like your stuff could be mass produced and sold.

My 8hp chipper had a 12" dia by 1/2" plate where the knives attached, and only two knives, and the shoot where the chips came out was at the bottom, it was an ELCO, it worked ok, you could plug it up quite easily, i would make the main plate on your machine out of 3/4" plate, install larger blower blades, and power it with a 1600cc car engine.

Wow, built like a frigging tank, must be super heavy. The video editing is also great, reminds me of "Make it Extreme" channel. Too bad the wood chipper has developed a fault. Will come back here with pleasure !

Your builds are awesome! You're and excellent craftsman. I'd love to be as good as you someday.

Great work, but it is necessary to use tool steel for the blades/knives. The mild steel blades will not last long enough. You may also need a very heavy radial stop for the knives to rest against. On industrial equipment, the knives have a taper splined lock in the rotor which tightens as rpm goes up. The vibration and the high rpm gives rise to sht happening quick!

I would add a bit more weight to the rotor. These things rely on mass for much more than just momentum. Just a thought based on what i see in the junk yards when i come across wood chippers, most often the rotor is cracked to heck and back because (i assume) they lack the mass, most being made out of thinner gauge metal.

Nice i work at a rental store a lot of these things are available Keep up the new projects they are inspiring for us doit your selfers

Глаза боятся руки делают, браво.

Красава, и руки из нужного места и голова

Cześć, bardzo solidna robota. Też mam rębak tarczowy rt 630. Jeśli coś mogę podpowiedzieć to u mnie od strony koła pasowego są otwory w obudowie którymi wentylator zasysa dodatkowe powietrze. Dzięki temu zasysa więcej powietrza niż tylko otworem na gałąź i się nie zapycha zrębkami.

Optymalna praca 👍👍👍 👏👏👏 👏👏👏

Отличный агрегат получился,мечта любого садовода)).

Действительно полезная вещь 👍

To solve your mistake you need: first, change the pulley to a bigger one increasing rotation speed. Second, you need to balance the blade weight onto the shaft

That chap is gifted, makes it so easy looking, but don't think so 😁🐕🇮🇪

Excellent work You're quite the fabricator

If I have a tree to chop I call you😂 hahaha nice video 💪💥

Sounds like a wonderful excuse to install a inline 6 diesel power plant, or a V-8 with a supercharger, followed by an a heavier flywheel? or, JUST MORE HP.. I have never heard anybody complain over having TOO MUCH HORSE POWER...LOL... Just think, with a machine pimped out with some clever HP, you could get the whole neighborhood to do all the wood chipping you personally need done, just because they want to play with a COOL wood chipper... You could pull up a lawn chair and some popcorn and just watch'em work for you...AND, all people working will have smiles on their faces as they play... All jokes aside, as always, WELL DONE ! ! ! !

Looking forward to see the upgraded version 🎉🎉

Maravilha de ferramentas. Lindo trabalho.

That's awesome bro. Yea my chipper has 2 knifes and holes at the top of the flywheel housing to pull in air. It definitely eats though once you get the discharge figured out that thing will be unstoppable. Awesome video bro

In our chipper, it has a "fan" piece made on the cutting head...just food for thought, hope you get it working 💪

You are honest scientist..congrats. You dont fool people

Love the quality of the build! I’m sure you will adjust it 😎
