@@jackspagnuolo9517 yeah, a little excessive due to cheap material. But, have seen a lot of bent arches and several videos reinforcing bent arches. I am limited by tire capacity, the tires will die before the frame. Thank you for the comment!

@@corneliusjoe2944 first saw a cart like this on RUclips moving propane and placing in elevated camper compartment. Self lifting carts are commercially available. Very expensive. Glad this video gave you the inspiration to build your own. Thank you for the comment!

@@bobweiram6321 thank you for what sounds like a genuine compliment! Skill is mostly getting you hands on the work and gaining experience. You can do anything you want with desire. I have done my share of rock and mineral study. Unfortunately the hole made by removing the rock is the valuable part. However the rock may have a use in our projects. Some 40 miles from here some historic gold an mineral mining has been done. Quarries in this area have produced stone for beautiful buildings. Right here, the rock is challenging but broken up enough a couple of old people can work through it. As always, thanks for watching!!

@@dangoras9152 Thanks! Yep, was thinking about you on this one. Thanks again for following along!

@@JeffBrauss the heater has been holding up fine. The built in push button igniter has never worked. Need to remove spark end and bend closer to pilot. Unit is only rated 66% efficient. You get what you pay for. Otherwise, it works, pretty quiet and looks good.

Thank you! This solar array has handled all of our power needs for construction which is generally around 1kwh per day. We just installed a very small AC unit in our cabin. The four panels have made 4 to 4.99 kWh yield and fully top four 100AH LiFe batteries. Pretty low usage, but fun to watch working. Thanks for watching.

I do have a bench mill but lately a 4-1/2” angle grinder has been doing a lot of machine work. It is amazing how much metal can be cut with cut- off wheels and grinding wheels. I have made a few fixtures to create machined surfaces with a grinder. Thank you for watching!

Glad you found this video useful. Hope your project work out well for you. Thank you for subscribing, it is an appreciated compliment!

As always, thank you for watching!

Yes, the compression ring works as a ridge and the the roof system self-supporting. The walls hold the roof as a vertical load. Thank you for the comment and thank you for watching!

Thanks! Lots of ways to get a sore back. Hopefully we eliminated…one way. Thank you for watching!

Bet those guys would have appreciated some hydraulics!😀

Glad you found it useful. The crane even works well for walking loads up or down the length of the trailer when too heavy to slide, balancing the load or moving within reach of other lifting equipment. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching! Let me know how that kit works out.

Thank you for the advise. Thank you for watching!

That would depend on the application. For my use, the tires are fine. Thank you for watching.

Glad you find it useful. Thank you for watching.

In time, work and material, drilling a hole was the cheap, short route. But only because it was solid rock and a temporary placement. Every situation can require or benefit from different solutions. Thank you for watching!

Sharpening the blades indeed makes things work better. We have chipped up about ten yards of chips. Lots more to do. Thanks for watching.

Thank you. Certainly better than a sore back. Thank you for watching.

There are commercially available self lift hand trucks. Unfortunately those hand trucks are expensive but could be worth the cost verses medical bills. I built my own for the large tires to handle rough terrain.

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 ruclips.net/p/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!
