    If you put the first horizontal brace of the scaffold on sideways, on an upright, you can then let the tower lean and free stand until you get the other end clipped on. Useful if you're working alone. 💪💪

    I had the same style chimney on my house. I just used an 5lb hammer to break the concrete apart and an angle grinder to cut the steel every 3 or 4 blocks. The blocks above the roof were all disintegrating and broke very easily. Below the roof level they were a bit more solid. 50 years in the elements must have taken their toll on it!

    I think that there has not been a push to ban fireplaces here in ths US, perhaps because they are seldom used and it would not go over well. Most who use wood or coal for heating use an enclosed stove. I think traditional fireplaces get used for social gatherings at christmas or when the power is out in a storm. They are banned in areas subject to forest fires though and stoves require spark arresters to be used.

    @olgajoachimosmundsen4647 2 года назад

    Welding aluminum downhill is often the easiest. Also it is often easy to not adjust heat, but only wire feed if you do mig welding. Cleanliness is also very important. If you want to weld aluminum you need to clean first, even if you already did it a few hours ago. Aluminum also warps easily compared to steel, and so you need to spread out the heat more to keep things flat and straight.

    • @olgajoachimosmundsen4647
      @olgajoachimosmundsen4647 2 года назад

      A certified aluminum welder once told me you need approx 3 times more amps on Tig welding aluminum compared to mild steel.
      If you're good at caulking you can understand welding much better. It's all about slow, steady movement with consistent pattern of building ripples. 10 cm of weld should normally take about 20 seconds on thinner steel plates. Also welds should not but up against each other, but overlap in order to create stronger welds with less weak spots.

    • @zeroyon4562
      @zeroyon4562 2 года назад

      You only need that amount of current to start with when you’re tig welding aluminium really, so a lot of guys use a foot pedal so they can reduce their heat input as you move along. If you use a button on the hand piece like I do you have to really increase your travel speed.
      Aluminium is really forgiving to weld as long as everything is clean, fitup isn’t as critical, welding stainless is much harder imo.

    at 8:00 you said "tension; compression and tension, concrete is strong in compression and steel is strong in tension". while technically partially true, it's not the main reason steel and concrete are combined: steel is practially as strong in tension as it is in compression. Concrete is only strong in compression. But the following reasons are why they go so well together: Concrete is way cheaper to use than steel; that's why, where possible, you use the concrete for the compression part. Steel is weak to heat where concrete isn't, same as with water; that's why the steel is always put several cm inside the concrete to protect the steel against rust and strenth loss in a fire. A huge part is also that concrete bonds to steel and that both have nearly identical thermal expansion coefficients. This means they expand and contract at the same rate in temperature differences and don't wrench apart like other paired materials would.
    Sorry for the pedantic rant; you were right that concrete is used for compression but steel works for both compression and tension.

    You should have kept water going in the chimney and you for sure should have been wearing a good respirator, but at least an n95. That silicate is going to line your lungs

    As a European, removing a fireplace right now is anxiety inducing.
    Are New Zealanders not worried about fall out from global conflict and green energy nutcases making electricity a very expensive or even not available commodity?

    • @jackgibbons6013

      New Zealand is already mostly renewable. 85% over average, 95% renewable tonight, with big investment now in more geothermal and wind. Wind here is 2-3 times more productive per turbine than in Europe because it’s very windy. Our natural gas market is also disconnected from the rest of the world. No pipelines or LNG facilities. So price shocks from Europe mean nothing.
      So no. Zero concerns about electricity supply

    The water does more than suppressing the dust. It also works as coolant and lubrication.
