That is a genious idea! you can hang it in every section of your woodpile you want! I will take it a step farther put a thick piece of wood on top and use the the metal dowels to secure it and use it as a small bench if you have to work outside! great video Rob! Stay safe my friend!
Hello. This is a good idea. Steel hook making is successful for installing firewood. Thank you. I wish you healthy and happy easter days. Let's pay more attention to our health these days. I hope the whole world gets rid of this damn corona virus as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing. Big greetings...
Love ya work Mr.Tee, mate I know you’re bunkered down right now but it’s a great time to be imaginative & make the things you want, cheers & stay strong 💪🍻👍👍👍👍
Danke ! I'm lucky I guess - I have enough supplies on hand to be bunkered down for months I reckon. And there is always plenty to do like sharpen chisels or try and cut dovetails. (I'm going to try)
Cheers Jimmy, the hook gets used everyday during winter - it has worked out really well. (not broken yet 😂) Cheers, yeah that whole area is a real satisfying achievement actually.
Thanks mate, yes it's a vast improvement. We used to use an old upturned packing crate to load the firewood but the wood used to roll off and if it had been raining the tote would get wet and drip on the carpet etc inside the house. Another person in the comments suggested putting a timber bench on it held in place by the two rebar dowels which I thought was a bloody good idea for outdoor things I could do like sanding and stuff like that.
Cheers guys! The happy dance...oh boy did I pay for that...I strained my right calf and my missus strained her eyes rolling them so much when she saw me filming it. Super happy with the thing though! Stay out of harm's way guys!!
This is a great idea, should help to save your back too not having to bend down too much, like the wood sling thing also can’t say I’ve seen one of them before 👍👍👍
Cheers Graham! We used to use an old packing crate upturned but it was all green with algae and looked horrible which I didn't want after tidying up this whole are recently. The sling thing is really nice - we bought it at a craft fair about 10 years ago from an old fella who I assume just made them in his garage for a bit of extra coin. It has held up well - we have the fire burning about say 100 days a year, and used 1.5 (ish) loads a day. 100 x 1.5 x 10 = 1500 loads.
Hey Grant, thanks man, it was the lazy approach but luckily it didn't affect the end result too much. I wanted the bag thingy sitting off the wall so it wouldn't get wet and slimy in the winter, but it still achieves that so boom!
Always good to see your notifications pop up Rob, corona is the mother of invention, nice job once again good to see you don't edit out an odd slip up here n there.:).. I hope you and yours are well and stay safe bud.
Thanks very much David! I don't mind the odd slip up in videos I watch too so it's only fair. I made a project recently that "features" some massive slip ups. I'm making two videos - one of how it ended up and one on how it all went to custard. Cheers mate - you stay safe as well!
Cool jig Rob and loving the peace pipe action! Haha. When we're out of lockdown you should try some electrolysis to remove the rust from that steel. Could make an interesting science experiment type of vid too 😆🤓
Cheers Neil! I've always wanted to try electrolysis and I've been wondering if a small car battery charger would do the trick for the power supply. I guess I should just try it and see. I'm also interested in the science behind etching and I've been wanting to give that a try too. Won't be long 'til we're out of lockdown but a while until things return to normal I guess.
@@TakamiWoodshop all good. Check out this guy, he's in NZ and does electro plating too, this link is for his electrolysis vid: ruclips.net/video/Qi-tK1jwO-k/видео.html
Woah woah easy there on the cutting disks your nearly all out 😉 that's a grand job mate fair play. Just one thing is chip off the slag after you do a weld or tack and it will leave you with a cleaner weld on top 👍
Ahhh yeah thanks, I tend to forget to do that. Sometimes the whole bead of weld just falls off as a result. I'm slowly getting the knack of it, but none of the finesse. But I *rock* at using grinder wheels. That little one is on the wall now, so cute, couldn't chuck it out.
🤣🤣 bwahahahahaha🤣🤣 The look on your kids face when you were jumping around like a mad man was gold, mate. 😆 That was a kick in the goolies when you realised the rod was welded upside down...😣 Awesome build, and how's that editing! 👌🏽 you're all over it like a fast hungry zombie on a injured slow fat man! 👍🏽
Comment of the day for sure ... LOVE it ! "fast hungry zombie on an injured slow fat man" I'm a big fan of batch processing but sometimes there's a real case for doing one at a time I think. I made a desk recently Bill - and I farked it up BIG time and had to change the design *radically* as a result. Maybe after doing the first one, mocking through the next step as a proof of concept. I dunno mate but with mistakes - sometimes it's funny, sometimes it ain't - if you know what I mean.
@@TakamiWoodshop Glad you got a chuckle outta that one, mate. 😉 Yep, we've all been to town on the fark-up bus, more than once. Seems I score a round town ticket at least once a month! 😆 Ya know, being a good maker isn't about getting sh¡t right first time around, although what a novel idea huh...🤔 🤭 It's more about starting a project and finishing it regardless of the stuff ups along the way. Making that project into a usable item that functions and serves its purpose. And then, if you're still not happy with it, try again and gift the first to someone who can use it. So all in all its a win win situation. If you don't like it, someone will be stoked to take it off your hands. Creating a drawing of what you want to make, having a cut list and marking your pieces as you go can be a great learning curve to not make as many mistakes.😉
It's the "stupid" mistakes that I hate - things that I should know by now. It's not so bad when it's unforseen or as a result of inexperience - like cutting gappy dovetails. There's also this false sense of entitlement that I get where if I've seen it dozens of times on RUclips - "well I damn well know how to do it now so it better not give me any trouble" - yeah nah - it doesn't work that way. A sketch and a cut list - occasionally, but not normally. You?
@@TakamiWoodshop Hahaha cut list, drawing, that's the sensible thing to do, yeah. But do I do this... Not in your Nelly, got better things to do like fark things up epically...😉🤣🤣🤣 Even the most seasoned experienced wood worker makes mistakes, big and small. Take it in your stride buddy, don't let being human put a downer in the rest of your day. It all comes together in the end. 👍🏽 I do hear you, but I pick up and carry on, after a few good choice words though! 😉🤣🤣🤣
@@TakamiWoodshop With your gappy dovetails, purposely cut them undersized then sneak up on them, and fill gaps with glue/sawdust mix👍🏽 You never get them right first go, or 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 900th....😭😭😭
Hahaha mate we are all Subject to the simple brain fart .in fact I made a very similar mistake with my drop saw bench I've just made. that jig for the grinder look bloody awesome .and now I have to make one of those so thank you for that. also the hook for your firewood is very inventive clever man nice video have a good one mate
Gidday Glen!! How you been mate?! Yeah I buggered up some mitre cuts on another project the other day too - they always seem to get me. There's a whole other vid about the jig mate - works mint. cheers man. Rob
@@TakamiWoodshop yeah I'm good thanks mate. been busy as discovered the bottom plate in my shed on two walls had rotted out so I done major surgery pulled siding off and replaced bottom plate. Put new Jack studs in . also built a drop saw bench.i will definitely check out your video on that grinder jig build . was quite impressed by it .happy lock down mate hope you and your family are safe bro
Enjoyed the video Rob, but it looks a bit incongruous loading log fire wood into the carry bag wearing shorts and tee shirt 😆. Neat little cut off saw you made too. Incidentally, how long does the battery last on that grinder?
Cheers Bob! Yeah when I watched the vid back a couple of days later I had the same thought about the shorts. The battery grinder doesn't last long, it didn't do all that square section cutting, only about ¾ of it. (4ah batty) Super cheap auto batteries are super slow to charge as well so I switched to a corded one in this vid, you may have noticed. It goes for ages just doing chops though.
F%*$ I just made a big hole! lol That's my usual battle cry when try to melt bits of metal together. Nice work Mr. T. That is over engineering at it's finest I'd say. Even a direct hit from North Korea isn't going to dent that puppy.
Lol, just after I turned the amps up to max too.. groan. Is it over engineered given my welding skills? I have little confidence to be honest, welding feels to me like voodoo magic and it's likely all just held together with flux and spatter. Note that I didn't stand on it to prove how strong it is! Even with holes though, after painting it I was quite happy with myself - that it even worked at all! Cheers Pete.
Must be cold down there in The South. Had to laugh when that steel pinged up. Just to annoy you... I think you should weld some steel squares over the ends of that open tube... would finish it off nicely. (evil laugh smiley do-hick). Stay Safe.
I knew someone (probably you) would say that and in preparation I sourced some of those plastic chair leg feet thingys that side up inside. Haven't been able to buy them yet but ha! checkmate annoying suggestion person! Stay safe, and no, I don't mean ISJ's. 🤣

Thanks very much Şahane. Coronavirus is really causing a lot of problems for us all - I also hope you stay healthy and thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
That's a great idea! Oh the unnecessary pain and headache 😂🤣😂
I was thinking of this cock up when I watched your guitar neck redo. I was just too lazy to do all that work again to be honest. #pain #heartache 🤣

Great idea and well executed even with the ghetto welding stick ;) That whole area transformation has been a massive improvement and fun to watch.
Cheers Jimmy, the hook gets used everyday during winter - it has worked out really well. (not broken yet 😂) Cheers, yeah that whole area is a real satisfying achievement actually.
Good idea mate. The entire firewood area is looking quite clean 👍

Cheers Bill - yes that strip surprised the hell out of me!
Looks good Rob, I like how easily you overcame the welding on the wrong side! Good thinkin 🍻
