I envy the energy the pair of you have. But then I did sixty years ago. Now at 88 I just sit back and enjoy watching you with your amazing enthusiasm, energy and knowledge. Another very interesting video. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one. Mounting pressure. Sorry about that.;-)
Год назад+8
I happy for you that you finally got to use your Land Rover the way you intended. 👍
Raf seems like a solid collaborator. Not easy to find workers who are invested in the problem solving, working hard, and have so many skills to bring to the table. I hope as your business grows you have a long and fruitful partnership!
Current and future clients will know that they'll receive high quality work form you. The amount of detail and pride put into your endeavors is incredible. Continued success to you.
The only problem is that Chris is great with his work but really slack with safety, if he wants to keep doing such a great job with all his senses and arms legs working 100% he needs to be much more savvy with his and his mate’s safety.
Rafo Sir, always good to see you back at the graft. I have a mate; much like Kris, he gets me doing all sorts of heavy, height and hard labour. But what a joy to be a part of. Great work Kris, a workshop of envy, products that are Rightoeus... and a great insight into the 'Way'. Gorw it, eat it... then make it. I love your work Sir's. Plus Dot and animal companions. Peace m.
This video has really helped me today. I've had a shit day, I had to phone an ambulance for my mother, she's having to stay in hospital overnight due to breathing difficulties. I'm also a full time carer for my disabled girl and I've just had an absolutely manic day. I haven't stopped since early this morning and I finally got to sit down around 2200 and I popped this video on and it just took my mind off everything for half an hour. Thank you.
Take care of yourself. There are organization that help caretakers take a nap, shower, go grocery shopping, dentist appointments, etc. Burnout and ruined health can happen. Please look into this and I sincerely hope that your situation gets much better.
Kris, a suggestion. It looks like the gauge in question is a liquid filled gauge and sometimes they build up a pressure inside and do not indicate the correct pressure. Pop the edge of the rubber plug and equalize the pressure to the surrounding pressure. I think you will see/hear air hiss out or get a little squire of light oil. I had the same problem earlier this year and thought the gauge was bad but read correctly after that little adjustment.
@@caterthun4853 Which is why you have to bleed them. They also need to have it done when in the normal temp range for the location as that also will affect them.
Alright Kris loved the video, love the hydro series and the rest. I work as a control and instrumentation engineer, I'm not a metrologist or telling you what to do, but if you're running a business in hydro it won't cost you much and set your mind at ease if you spend the cash and get your pressure meters etc calibrated once a year. You can give that as part of a certificate of conformity to your customers as well which is a win win and will make you look more 'professional'. There's an open source book you may be interested in that includes measurement called lessons in industrial instrumentation. It gives a good overview of measurement of different parameters like pressure and pitfalls to avoid I've found it useful throughout my career and would suggest it's worth a flick through. As other comments have mentioned you can figure out static/head pressures quite easily but with joins and Venturis etc you can be off. That book gives some good rules of thumb, your intuition is already strong though which is good. Keep the vids coming mate!
Jamaica 🇯🇲 here I am a stay at home grandma and l always watch your post but lost contact but now I found it again and have been go through the ones I missed out and I am appreciating your work all the more be bless and stay safe
Wow! Great opening with the Rover picking its way through the wilderness. Also what a high quality build and design on the water line and turbine house complete with stone patio and style appropriate door. CLASSY!Shame it’s out in the woods where it can’t get more admiration, lol. Can’t wait for the final turbine installation and sea trial.
Man, you can't even see microplastic, that is big problem today. You can makes microplastic just pushing, moving that pipe around. Bands all plastic in the world is only solution. We are done if oill instead in the car finsh in material, more damage than burning in today's cars.
Absolutely in awe of what you can do. The skills that you have and share here is highly appreciated . Hats of to Raf as well , not scared of hard work and helps where the problem solving is concerned. Keep the videos coming love what you do.
Them post rammers I remember my mate lifting it to high he broke his nose and fractured both eye sockets I've not to this day found anything funnier 🤦🤣great vid boss as always
Ha! 1st time I've had/heard that one, but I'll take it. Blooming good actor he was and from my old neck of the woods too. Thanks for the comment Peter 👍
A lot of what one sees on YT is DIY efforts at a wide variety of skill levels. This is probably the best I've seen. VERY professional and thorough! The quality and attention to detail are amazing. Very well done, guys!
I’m always SO inspired whenever I finish watching one of your videos! I just bought my first home and your channel has given me much inspiration for fixing up the place and the land!
Such a neat and clean great job. You always go above what is expected. It is amazing at what you accomplish. Glad your friend was able to help you again.
Hello Kris and Dot 👋 long time subscriber (the lower workshop build) but not 1 for comments normally. Just wanted to say I love what ur doing, keep going bro, your vids are very relaxing for me and I look forward to them 😀 geese will be geese and Welsh weather will be 🙈 thank you once again x
Rewatching all your videos it is such a joy to see your homestead grow, you can be so proud of yourself. Thanks for taking us on your journey. P.s good times for your solar this summer, and with these energy prices right on time!
Thanks Kris for sharing your very interesting project. I’ve now watched (and subscribed), with growing interest several of your vlogs and observed your methodology and am very impressed by the practical way you evolve your knowledge base as you encounter issues. It’s clear that you’re open to tweaking your original plans where necessary to make them work more efficiently and that’s great to see. Well done and thanks again.
Re: pipe joiners, a trick that I learned while working adjacent to the water department of the council was to remove the internal shoulder of the joiner using a lathe. Allows you to slide the whole joiner on to one of the pipes, get the ends lined up and then slide it back to be centred over the gap. Good for pipe wrestling in a ditch.
Hey Kris, awesome series. I can tell you take pride in your work and it shows in your craftsmanship. Thanks for uploading the video and sharing your knowledge.
May the Lord bless you with work, you are doing a great service to humanity and the environment and the mental health of all those who follow suit. Amen!
Another superb video Kris and looking forward to the day of generating power for the first time for your client! Your troubles with your vehicles must have been very trying but good to see we’re able to sort it in the end. Love following your progress - well done to you and Dot.
As much as anything (and that's a lot) I'm impresses by your ability to absorb disappointment, grin and "keep on truckin'". Continued good fortune my friend; you are an inspiration.
Great video Kris. Love watching your mind work and solving problems as you go along. Nothing better than watching a defender in the environment it's was designed for too... Love it mate! Thanks for the double vid!
@Kris Harbour Natural Building - Hello, I just found your channel and watched all 4 four parts of the 6 kW hydro job. At least, I guess that is all the parts available for now. Marvelous workmanship and attention to detail! I will have to watch your back catalog soon. :)
Well done Kris I have really been looking forward to seeing when this project is completed and there's just a ways to go! Looking forward to seeing your next video.
It's inspiring to see the collaboration between you and Raf in the installation of the Coanda Screen Intake for the North Wales 1.5kw Hydroelectric System. Raf seems like a dedicated and skilled collaborator, who is invested in problem-solving and working hard to get the job done. It's not always easy to find someone with such a range of skills, so it's great to see that you have found a solid partner for your growing business. I hope that your partnership continues to be fruitful and that you both can continue to innovate and solve problems together as you expand your hydroelectric system. This video is a testament to the power of collaboration and hard work in achieving success.
Thanks for the video. It was absolutely inspiring. You didn't save on work, enthusiasm and material. from your skills you seem to be a carpenter, electrician and metalworker. You can do what's fun. thank you, keep it up. Greetings from Germany, Frankfurt am Main
Tidy, love your videos, I’m a maintenance fitter in a mill and we have to be very multi skilled we do machine repairs, fitting, welding and fabrication, pipe fitting on steam, water and other liquids etc just whatever needs doing so I find it all very relevant. Built a great life and looks like your going to have an excellent business model 👍🏻👍🏻
Have seen the Korean hand plough or ho-mi that would be the perfect hand tool for the final pipe adjustments, I have a medium sized one for gardening and levers up paving slabs and rocks. Everything is looking great, I love the shed you are going to have a very happy customer
Your a young chap, but I love your diligence, to do the best job possible, its a trait many of the younger people have lost. a saying I have always believed in is "If you are going to do a job, Do it to the best of your ability, or dont bother" Your work is like belt and braces. designed to last as long as possible, and thats a rare thing these days. great example of a work ethic. well done sir.
I seriously Dig your use of the cargo strap ratchet as a strP wrench, Brilliant in its simplicity !! Another " why didn't I think of that " Damn good thinking.....
Can't wait to see it finished, think your ingenuity and skill set is as Americans say awesome. When finished bet the person you are doing it for is going to love the free energy.
You might have already addressed this but Tool station sell cheap black mushroom vent/cowls for the top of the stand pipe. This would stop the overhead trees dropping debris like leaves or twigs entering the plumbing and making their way to the turbine….
What you call an old van, i would kill to have here in the US. It’s everything a good, reliable truck should be. In other news. I love your videos! Keep up the amazing work!🎉

I was thinking exactly the same, solid hard grafter is Raf, a very rare breed!
What we are witnessing are two friends that are on the clock. One more skilled than the other. A perfectionist and a pragmatist
P PP
Sorry this is my first time watcching .
The 1.5kw had my attention .
Where do we get to see it ?
It is SO NICE to see someone on RUclips working responsibly with plastic outdoors! Thank you Kris, and thanks for another video.
Totally 👍

Please take care of yourself!
Thank you all, much appreciated.
This is a fantastic series I've learned so much...pity I haven't a stream on my few acres
Good to see the Land Rover in its natural habitat, doing the work it was designed for (as opposed to taking kids to school in Chelsea) ;-)
The hydro and solar content is especially interesting right now, as usual thanks for taking us along
You're energy is unbelievable! Love your work!
Monsieur!! With these 3 videos in a week, you're really spoiling us!
Am really happy,he does his work well

Spot on. A gauge mounted vertically doesn’t need the rubber plug spiked, but a gauge laying flat or horizontal needs to be spiked to equalise
that's a really good tip. cheers man
The oil is only there for dampening the needle where the pressure is bouncing a bit. The oil should always be at atmosphere pressure.
@@caterthun4853 Which is why you have to bleed them. They also need to have it done when in the normal temp range for the location as that also will affect them.
Yeah, that too. Shipment by air or exposure to extreme Temps will mess with a glycerin filled if not vented. The nice ones have a twist valve to vent

Microplastics is what you produce when washing your clothes, not cutting pipes.
Great work kris 👍👍👍👍❤❤
Watching your videos for years now , I want to move to Whales !!
THREE videos from Kris in a week - what a TREAT. Good on ya mate, you're role model material.
Wowsers! 3 video's in a week, you are spoiling us :)
I loved the opening shot, your channel definitely has a new star.
Greatest show on RUclips! Your skills are just amazing, Kris!
So many amazing vids in such a short time! It’s like Christmas.
It is so enjoyable to watch such positive work Kris.

Good to see her up and running buddy! I gotta catch up on your videos. Nice Friday evening sorted
Raff reminds me of a younger Pete Postlethwaite. Great engineering as always. Lovely to see.
Ha! 1st time I've had/heard that one, but I'll take it. Blooming good actor he was and from my old neck of the woods too.
Thanks for the comment Peter 👍
NORTHERN!
Salt of the earth .....!!!
A piece of art this pump house system!
I like that Raph(?) guy. Good vibes.
Good to see your Rover roving off tracks and you back at hydro works
I love so much that stuff
Rover sounds great!!!
Very interesting. Looking forward to more videos re your hydro water system.
Love that you take the time to explain any issues that arise. Real pleasure to watch

Not many people have access to a lathe so they just buy a slip joint! It’s a lot easier
Hey Kris, really happy for u that your Land Rover worked out, nice truck & u deserve it for all you hard work & great troubleshooting

Great team, those two guys are sharp.
You’re spoiling us today Kris 👍🏻
Raf reminds me of my grand dad. Always had that cigarette dangling. It was part of his face.
You are lucky to have Rafa. He's on the same beam.
I'm pretty sure your friend Raf could do a spot on impression of Clive Owen. The man's got the exact same voice.
Great video Kris. Love watching your mind work and solving problems as you go along. Nothing better than watching a defender in the environment it's was designed for too... Love it mate! Thanks for the double vid!
