When I was about 13, I took my scout patrol on an overnight camp to a bush hut. The hut had an old cast iron pot belly fire but the firewood was mostly very wet so we couldn't keep the fire going. There was some diesel for the power generator so I put a tiny hole in the bottom of a spaghetti can, filled the can with diesel, and suspended it quite high over the fire. The fuel splashed down onto the cast iron and burned well enough for the pot belly to glow red hot. I don't know how I knew how to do that and I don't know how I've reached age 65.

Great video, thank you. I have a question, have you tried 90% WMO and 10% gasoline? If that works, then maybe the same thing would work with the waste vegetable oil.

It's a rebranded product

Great video. I have changed the Celsius settings to Fahrenheit.The controller changed from C to F. But the app on the phone does not change from C to F ? Any thoughts on it. Or do I have to restart the app for the changes? Very informative

Please give the Robert Murray Smith fuel a try

For a greenhouse? 😎

If you put an inline stop solenoid on the fuel line after the drpper setup tapped into the fan motor voltage feed, then that would stop the potential fuel leaking problem if the flame out protocol kicks in 😎

Well done Mr 😎

4:58... What is Talking ?

What is the max temp the bureck thermostat be set. I would need up to 55 degrees celsius.

At my age, I have a lot in common with your truck. Rattling, exhaust leak, and a leaky rearend. 🤙

If me and my wife split ways, she would take Jack (our little dog). I would sure miss Jack! Thank you for this video!

🤙

Love All your videos..I have 7 5kw vevors.. so I love the content

Thank you! Hate to set the thermostat function and have that voice wake me up in the middle of the night when the heater starts

Like @LowAmbitions I too am installing an "8kw" in my attic or actually void area, where the ducted aircon is and letting the fan sucking the hot air and blow it around the house. This is in Brisbane Australia, and I think it's possible to keep some rooms warm like 22 degrees, mind you the outdoor temp in winter goes to only -1 or -2 and day temp between 18 and 25. The area will be around 114 m2. I'm planning on using a bigger diameter aluminium pipe 2.5 meter long encapsulated in a bigger shorter open ended pipe, enclosed near the heater, but with a flex pipe attached, joining into the aircon ducting. I've done some preliminary testing without using the exhaust heat, and I got 22 deg with outside around 8 deg. What I don't know is I need to have the diesel tank outside on the ground, which mean the pump needs to pump close to 3 meter vertical and 2.5 meter horizontal. Any comment is very welcome......

I was hoping you were going to ride a bike to the parts store 🤣 That would have been amazing.

This lathe can easily take off 3-5mm of steel at once if rebuilt and calibrated. There are dedicated channels about this lathe. I have similar. Just didnt have time to work on it atm, later

Thankyou for this vid! Been researching these things a lot recently

Well that was an eye opener. I fell for the idea too, without ever seriously thinking about the "pressure", but now you point it out, it's self evident you are right. Received wisdom is always worth questioning.

Just push the brushes right in they will lock inside and just release them once you have the shaft and comuntator in place

Thank you for the information on changing the temperature to Fahrenheit. After doing so, the app still shows temperature in Celsius . Is there a way to change the app settings ?

Nice Video! You could have used PWM and used a more high tech dosing system, but then you would have just built another electronic controlled heater.. I love your low tech control system, and your explanation of it, (I am an electronics geek, so I got it anyway)... You have proven how basic these things actually are. You have also demystified these heaters totally for me, in a few videos... I wonder no more. Thanks Heaps!!!

What about just adding a little to each refil starting with a clean chamber theory will delay the crud building up.

Thanx for the video, It's a releaf to see you posting again. I've lost alot of my favorite channels this year due to youtube creation burnout. I know it's hard work, I used to do it myself and what a colossal P I T A it was to run a camera and do something else at the same time. Then there's the dreaded editing scene. There goes 20 hours !! Keep up the good work Joel.

the fact that you have it cyling at 70 per minute on the highest heat setting (according to your controller) is a tribute to how over fuelled these things are , i guess these big companies are all linked anyhow so why wouldn't they . , there is another guy on the tube setting his at 1 hz on the lowest setting , assuming thats one pump (drip per second) , it seems it is possible to go lower on the number 1 control setting . (Would it be possible to just pinch the fuel line a little upstream of the pump?) or would it destroy it , great work , very interesting thanks .

Good to see you keeping busy. Thanks for the upload and update.

Hey its you! Glad to hear you are staying busy.

Better rely on real customers money than on that weird youtube revenue - i'd say. At least as long as you have debts to pay off. KZfaq never pays minimum wages - if anything at all.

What did you do for work 10 years ago before opening your business.

Hey Joel, Great to hear from you again! So good to hear you're business is going so well and the truck repairs resolved the issues you were having. Shout out to BJ, as the old saying goes, "A friend in need, is a friend indeed".

I believe you have a British metric piece to replace. I have run across them a bunch of times over45 years of machining. Just real old things used them. Most defeinatlt you woll need a live center you can make with it and I am glad you have the metal gears on order. Fun post so I sub'd you and rang yer bell as well.I pour silver. Stop by for a peek. I try and fave some fun in the process. I am a BC fella from Vanderhoof. Just west of Prince Geord in the middle of the povince , Where are you ? If this is throwing a good thread I am thinking you have a good tight lathe there. A good test for any lathe. Take care eh

Nice to see you're doing ok. Never give up ! :) Also, it's not a bad idea to replace customers' lawnmowers with revised used ones... it's the ideal way to do customer binding and they'll much more likely call on you for future mower maintenance/repair :) Good job on the car too... if you replace a brake on the car, it's always a good idea to do the opposite one too... brakes are kinda essential for survival after all ;)

Glad to see you're keeping busy you seam to be way better in your self check out your face at 17:18 😊. As for your truck you should definitely give it the TLC it's earned. One thing I'd change is that fan for a electric setup it's silly having a fan going constantly especially in winter.

This is not a heater!

I was just thinking about you recently, it's good to see your face. Looks like things are going pretty well and you're staying quite busy. I hope we get to see you this summer!

Glad you're keeping busy. My car needs a new water pump, unfortunately it's a PT cruiser, and the engine has to be dropped and the timing belt removed. I can't do it, and no one else wants to touch it for any mount of money, so my main transportation is an electric scooter. I have an electric lawnmower. My neighbor says he'd get one but he's worried about running over the cord, but I've had it for 12 years and never done that. So every Saturday morning I have to listen to that lovely racket. I shut mine off in between rows, so when I mow, it's just a few "vroom's".

Quit wasting water on the lawns....hahahaha

Did you leave any parts at the parts store for anyone else 🤣? They're probably getting a sales bonus this week. The first part I ever changed on any vehicle was a water pump on my '78 Monte Carlo back in the 1980's. I had no clue what I was doing but I also knew that I wasn't gonna have wheels to get around so I'd better figure it out.

I sure enjoyed this post today.

Thanks for the update. I hope you are getting along will with your divorce and new home.

I just got foredom sr damn chuck fell out 10 seconds to the first touch to wood

Your not an asshole

Dear sir !I would like to purchesing this laeth mechine to sri lanka how by advice. Thanking u .I am lasath.

Very interesting 👌

Great Video - very helpful I struggled with the ‘user manual’ , head wrecking is right !! Please, advise on how you removed the led panel and mounted it on your dash ? Best Regards 👍

Keep on keeping on Joel. I do lawn care to supplement my meagre income. You would be my go to for any small engine help.

I've been benefitting from these videos over the past two years. I want to buy a little lathe just for fun. I haven't used a metal lathe since I was in high school in 1957. Doesn't matter. I'll have fun. I have definitely decided to not buy price. I'll allow six thousand or so for the lathe and accessaries / addons. Maybe more. The size? At least 10 x 20 inches. I don't want a lathe that has ball bearings on the spindle. Tapered rollers is much better. Will I select a gear head? Maybe. Haven't decided. I have an idea that I'll do lots of threading. Changing gears all the time doesn't thrill me much. I don't think I need a digital display. Speed adjusting seems more intuitive to me. I like Proxxon but they are too small. Otherwise their quality seems above average. I like Sherline quite a lot. Not sure though. On their website they don't provide prices but instead offer financing. They want to sell you on a product and later tell you what the damage will be. This usually means they are pricey. I don't mind spending but I don't want to have to search for the rest of my life to find out what something costs. Why do they hide it? Maybe because of the current inflation.... it changes a lot? So far I am leaning towards the one from Taiwan. Precision Matthews 1228 model with dro and a box of goodies to make it even more fun. This one runs on 110vac single phase with a variable speed DC motor. Seems just right. Any larger lathe from PM needs 240vac and maybe three phase too. I don't need all that sophistication in my garage. Watching all these videos is almost as much fun as having the machine all set up and ready for ???? I have no idea what I'll use it for. I guess I will find out later. May as well get a little mill while I'm at it. Why not? Fun fun fun... The reader can tell I'm the fussy type. It's true. Why not? After all this talk I'll probably end up buying a Harbor Freight 14 inch. ha ha... Well, I can have fun on that model too.

Can you do a cabon monoxide test with the cat . I am joking honest.
