The bearings are a standard 1/2” inside diameter SAE. 1/2” cap screws were used for axles with heads cut off. “Strut” in the USA is basically two sizes. I used the rectangular profile since the bearing fit inside the strut. Assuming you need to convert to metric. 13 mm inside diameter bearings should have similar function with an outside diameter to fit available strut.

@@SpencersMountain thank you Spencer

Thank you! Big things to happen the next few months. Safety is always my primary focus.

Tedious parts aside, we should be making greater strides soon!

You are correct. There will be a pair of large steel bands around the trusses. Walls and roof decking also play a part in trianglation of truss loading. The screws holding the trusses to the ring are mostly alignment during construction. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!

I should have known that you would have it covered Just the old carpenter in me had to ask

@@jameslyvers7658 I appreciate the feedback. There are always head-scratchers when building things and I am sure we will run into a few. Old carpenter advice is always welcome!

There is a support we made to hold the compression ring during construction of the roof. Still not sure how everything will happen but scaffold and block tackle are most likely involved. This summer, stuff has to look like a house. Thank you for following along.

Apologies for the lapse in content lately. Even this project was started months ago and only recently completed. Other projects have been in the works but in different stages of completion. All with the goal of getting back to the house build. Thank you for following along!

Yes, fun part will be putting it up! Thank you for watching and have a great Memorial Day yourself!

Apologizes. Have been recording things but projects have been in random order switching between things and no real completion of anything. Should have more coming as some things get done. Appreciate you checking in!

Thank you for watching. Currently working several projects to get up on our house build. Everything is mixed up and incomplete. Hope to have something worth watching as things get done. Thank you for following along!

Thanks! And you are more likely correct 😀

This is still a useful tool. It simply gets into places where other lifting machines can’t go. Thanks for the comment and thank you for watching!

Thank you! Really appreciate your returns to our channel. Best of everything to you and yours.

I got the thickness 3/8 inch. Didnt get the bolt size.

I believe the cap pipe was 6” schedule 80 to get the fit. That would be .432” wall. The tabs are 3/8”. The bolt is 3/4”. The bolt is a high alloy item I found in trash. Everything is a bit overbuilt. However area winds can exceed 80 mph so it was better to and cheaper to use heavy salvage materials and use my free labor to keep cost low. Thanks for watching. There is a follow up video installing the mount.

Greetings from South Dakota, USA. Sorry for your loss. Guess it was best to realize your structural needs before moving in. Glad our video provided some amount of inspiration. Thank you for the comment. Best of luck with getting your structure rebuilt!

Thank you for the warm response friends. Hope life is good for you guys. Best wishes, Peter, Jade & Bluebell

Using a CEP distribution box modified to commercial standard blade receptacles leaving half with twist lock. Changed the 230v outlet to match my welder cable. Built a 50 foot 230v cable from SJOW 6awg with correct plug to fit into distribution box.

Used 6013 1/8”. A very easy use rod. I grind out flat joints as 6013 does not have as much penetration quality as say 6011. Keep in mind that this grapple is not a bucket, more of a big dust- pan for brush moving. Thank you for watching.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your support!

Thank you. My labor was paid for by building myself and the fun is priceless. Hope it inspires others to build their own things when it suits them. Thank you for watching!!

Thank you! My own design, but nothing unique to many other designs. Basically a big dust pan for branches that will grip the load. Saved $1000 over buying a cheap built one. I agree, the scrap yard is fun to look at! Possibilities are endless. Thank you for the comment and watching this video!!

Thanks! Hope it helps others get through similar projects. Thanks for watching!!

Thanks! About 20 hours including finding parts and paint. Would have been much less using tube instead of shelf supports welded together and somewhat lighter. But the frame was low cost and is very heavy duty. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for watching!

Main purchase decision was price. I found a very low price about half normal good street cost. Similar deal on the upgrade vise. Tecomec makes Oregon grinders. The product lines are carefully designed to maximize price point and product name. My decision was for a good grinder motor, upgradeable vice and vice offset capacity. Basically my goal was to replicate the Oregon 511AX that has been discontinued splitting their product line into a machine with poor vise or much higher cost. Careful product research and shopping for a clearance price got me what I wanted. Left over savings will pay for a CBN grinding wheel with improved grind quality and eliminate wheel diameter changes from wear of standard wheels and maintain the grind centerline adjustment. Hope that answered your questions. Thank you for watching!

The blade is 1-1/4 wide x 158” length. Blade length is a consideration for the maximum width you would realistically cut. The band wheels are 18.75” diameter. Thanks for watching. Whole build series Homemade DIY Sawmill Build kzfaq.info/sun/PLqbvRJ6oY7GQpE3smgtqQbJG2fqIGTyTz

Thank you! Paint was for fun. So far, the log arch has been useful lifting logs and even getting logs and steel tube on a trailer. Adding a cheap dolly to the hitch turns the arch into a hand truck. Thank you for watching!

Sharpening is a skill that requires knowledge of tooth angles. Hand work is a greater skill. I touch up chains by hand in the field to maintain sharpness. As a machinist, I have learned the importance of consistency. A machine sharpened tool especially many cutting teeth will always perform better than hand work. The machine sharpener simply restores consistency that is difficult by hand and as you pointed out saves some valuable time. It always requires volume to justify the cost of a machine. If you like the work… people will beat a path to you. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!

Great idea. Could benefit a lot of viewers including myself. Appreciate your support!

Your enjoyment is the primary goal of this channel. Accomplishment is generally breaking down a problem into a solution. Thank you for taking time to comment and thank you for your support!

Thank you! Guess I don’t need to be a star. I like to show there is a person doing the work but after that, I assume people just want to see what is being done. Hopefully that inspires others to make their own things and maybe a few how-to ideas get paid forward. Thank you for the comment and be sure I value your support!

Been a machinist for over 45 years. Cutting fluids are not always needed. The bits in this video are at least 40 years old and had drilled hundreds of holes in press and lathe operations. I also do “chip breaking” where the bit is advanced and stopped to reduce length of the chip. Then I don’t have to deal with long chip. But, I always use high pressure moly lube on taps and dies! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Been a weird winter collecting materials for projects. People have been stingy with materials. Appreciate you following along!

There are many companies that put their names on lessor quality products outsourced to other manufacturers. The clamp meter in this video has very good specifications for the price point and is much better on these specs than similar appearing meters in the price range. Tested against higher spec instruments it appears this meter meets advertised specs and provides reasonable function for the price point. Thank you for watching.

Thank you! There are several more videos on the build and subsequent use of the saw. Thank you for watching.

Good advice. We do a good job pacing ourselves. I have had to haul out people suffering heart attacks over doing in poor conditions. Not a good time to have an issue when everything is shut down. Thanks and take care yourself.

I used a small air powered die grinder with a carbide burr. The bolt cutter jaws were softer than I imagined. I had considered using a torch or burning out the notch with a welding rod. An abrasive hacksaw blade would work. Thank you for watching.

Thank you for watching our channel !

“Nut sert “ or “Nutsert”. Not to be confused with “rivnut”. Nutserts for heavy duty. Rivnuts for light sheet metal threads.

“Strut channel spring nut”. Accessory items for “uni-strut” or “super-strut” strut channel. Read again. See reply below.

The nuts in the side of the pipe to hold the electric box are “ nutserts” and require a manual installation tool or special install tool for high volume work.

Thank you for the confidence. Unfortunately, we are so buried in projects, there is no chance to do other work. There are many commercial sharpeners available to choose from that provide product support and parts. If you can justify the cost, sharpeners can be the best path. Thank you for watching.

Thank you. Do a quick search for “pickup hitch crane”. Seems a crane could provide height difference and transfer capability. Thanks for watching!

That is unfortunate! As with any machine there are always quality issues. I am not a qualified heater tech. Best advice is to have a qualified professional check your furnace. That said I like to troubleshoot my own equipment. A troubleshooting chart should be easy enough to locate. Could be a simple cheap thermal coupler issue or a more complex gas pressure problem. My heater has an alignment issue where the spark can not light the pilot, requiring lighting through the port. Hope you can sort out your pilot issue.

Thanks. Not a lot of clever involved as similar lift carts are commercially available, but rather spendy. We use the large wheel cart for many moving tasks and having the lift removable leaves the cart with much greater utility. A boat winch and junk around the shop did the rest. Thank you for watching!

Having retired, this was just a junk-to-tool solution to get us through a problem. If you do an internet search for lift-cart, there are many for sale, but be warned they are spendy. Thank you for watching!

Thank you. I do not see any isolation transformer in the XLR circuit. Signal is via C52 a 2.2U 100v cap and series dropped though resistors and a couple inductors. C201 a 2.2U 50v cap couples to pin 1 of the jack and C202 a 2.2U 50v cap on pin 3 to ground. C201 is essentially the output coupling at the jack. Not sure what you are looking for? This is a somewhat complex amplifier and the schematic is a challenge to follow....even with many, many years of schematic reading. Finding a part on the schematic and locating the physical parts can be an adventure. Power transformer and output transformers are only represented by pin connections no parts in the drawings. If you experience a hum issue, check out this XLR patch video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/erieYMpeyr_dfmw.htmlsi=J8EQADdoINxuubwN

@@SpencersMountain haha thats my video! I'm about to release an addendum to that video as I have learned new information. C201 couples to pin 2, and C202 couples to pin 3. Pin 1 ties to Chassis/Earth. The isolation transformer that was in my amp was the wrong type, that was the first problem. The 2nd problem was in the Grounding plane design between the main PCB and the patch board. Yes this amp is complex. The XLR circuit has all the inductors/resistors to match the response curve of an SM57 microphone placed 1 inch next to the cone of a speaker. I have a friend named John who works down at Peavey. He's one of the top engineers there. Helped me solve the issue. He didn't design the MK II head but he found a flaw in the ground plane bonding the other engineer/designer missed plus the wrong isolation transformer. Guess they threw in whatever they had on hand. Be on the lookout. Here I thought I was the only one making repair videos on this amp!

Thank you and thank you for watching.

Thank you. Pretty sure it was one of your videos that started this sawmill build! Thank you for watching!!

Thanks for the empathy! Thanks for watching!!

Lacking an impact socket large enough for the fasteners, I defaulted to the only other tool I owned to finish the job. Sorry this somehow offended you.

Thank you. The band wheel adjustment is just my version of metal cutting horizontal saws I used over the years. Consider the wheel bearings on a car or trailer axle. Very similar in form and function to my application. I did look at load and the bearings used are massive overkill. But I was more concerned about axle flex. The 1-1/2” stainless bar I used has very low flex and the bearings were free salvage headed to trash. This build came largely from having an accumulation of usable parts and buying property with a lot of trees. Thank you for the comment and for watching my video.

@@SpencersMountain Thanks for your response . In France , I am about to start mine . I will used scrap metal i have and I am intending to use 40 mm axle slightly bigger than yours with 53 cm pulleys coming from a combine. Should be ok.

@@philippelegrand7992 Very cool! Looking forward to the video!
