Change the battery on your multimeter! The voltage wasn't too high! The battery icon it has does not mean that the battery is installed! :) That icon indicates that the battery is low and measurements are unreliable. I know from experience that that particular meter starts to show higher AC voltages with low battery (i have the same crappy meter)
You standing there after installing the outlet for a minute and then saying, "Oh yeah, the splitter." Is the most relatable thing I've see a RUclipsr do.
One of the prettiest plants snowdrops. I love to watch your videos on Saturday afternoon, plenty of content along with children. For all that you ignored them today we can tell how much you love them, you teach by playing with them. AND they want to be with you every time we see them around. Super mother is another love of yours, everyone's first love. Keep them coming and I'll keep coming back!
I love your long videos. 2 and a half hours, or three... or however many are necessary. That allows me to be with you for a long time, as if I were your neighbor, as if I were your family member. You are a very hardworking man. You've done a wonderful job with the firewood. Thank you for sharing your time and space with me!
when installing inside coming in from the top is fine. outside thought should always be from bottom. also after a day of cutting firewood its nice to watch someone else cut some
Your videos are very entertaining in part because of all the angles you provide of the work you’re doing, as well as your editing skills. Plus, your sense of humor comes across very well on screen. Thank you. Happy weekend.
For 20+ years I cut and split and stacked firewood. And it had to be done in the summer when there was sufficient dry wood. It meant that I never had any time to myself. This year I built a small, well insulated shack, drastically upgraded my Solar power system, and installed a inverter type Air Conditioner. It works perfectly, no noise, no fuss. I used to love wood, now I love electricity!
Hay Supper Dude you are a hard worker I Enjoy watching Your Videos. I think Supper Mom's a Happy Camper enjoying all You do for Her Thanks from East Texas USA
When you increase voltage,you reduce current for a same consumption. (ohm's law ) I assume the power company increased voltage to reduce current,so its power grid can sustain increased consumption on cold days like you have during the video. Its distribution/production capability must be at its limit i guess,so the company is "cheating" with that trick. What's your profession,maintenance in industry ?
*- Super Santa, it seems to me you enjoyed yourself more than you planned for.* *- Thank you for helping Andris out so much.* *- Phew, did you ever get a lot done, and made tidy.*
Hi I really really really really really really really really really really love your show you really do a Beautiful job keep up the good work ok I will always praying 🙏 for you and your mom and your family and your friends ok can you do more new show for all of us please we will be waiting for you ok I have watched all of your show new and old show and please be careful out there ok and please be safe ok I really love your family you have a wonderful day and have a good night and day ok love Lorilee xoxoxoxox
Been up there once and seen that years ago. I’m not far from there, I live in Down East Maine. That’s cool how the tide runs so hard it pushes the water back up the rapids.
It’s amazing that you still have pure gas available! Our gas is crap, lasts maybe 3 months now unless u buy supreme and pay 25c a litre more and maybe get 4 months! You seem to like doing firewood. I got turnoff as a kid being forced to do about 10 bush cord for an old farmhouse. Only piece of equipment we had was a chainsaw. All splitting done by hand! Awesome video
For storing small four stokes pull the ignition cord until you feel resistance. By doing this you make sure the engine is in compression phase meaning both valves are closed. It prevents moisture to get in into the engine.
An Ant"s work is never done! Last week, you were talking about spring. You jinxed yourself dude. You knocked out a ton of work in two weeks. Thanks for another great video! 👍
Ant, you're a genius, your crazy idea's always work out for the best and when they don't, you work on them some more until they do work. No one will ever say that you are a lazy man. You making noises as you fill the bin with wood makes me laugh. You need larger wheels for the splitter and the finger remover. You also have to patent your splitter upgrade, you could make a ton of money on it.
Man, v1.0 of your splitter adapter already worked well. But v2.0, Winglet, is the ultimate 4 way splitter adapter. You can really see how much your welding improved on that one chunk of steel.
Those smaller wood splinters are quite common. Here in Canada we buy them from Princesses Auto. Most of the folks I know that have them built a foot pedal for the power switch so you can hold onto the wood with a hand and not their chin. Great video.
About the 3-man operation at 53:55 - 54:50; my family does it almost exactly how you describe it; the difference is that the third person loads the cut wood into a wheelbarrow and brings it into a woodshed where it gets stacked to dry. (Grandpa, my dad and me; dad cuts, i hand him the logs, and grandpa loads the wheelbarrow) I'm from Slovakia, btw. You could improve the saw by using a 3-phase 3-5kW 2860min^-1 motor, and under drive it to ~2100min^-1 at the saw blade for more torque, and stiffening the frame would be benefitial as well. I suggest this, because the saw we have at home has a 3kW 3-phase 1440min^-1 motor, the only difference is that the motor on our saw is overdriven by 1,4; so ~2000min^-1 at the saw blade. Bigger pulley at the motor and smaller on the driven shaft of course. The disadvantage of this is a bit less torque at the saw blade, but it worked fine for more than 40 years; to this day, so no reason to mess with it. Also, use 2-4 belts at once, to reduce the wear to a minimum.
you lie like the rug! 6:00 21:30 hitting a hydraulic hose. Also when the back of the log touched the log splitter arm it is harder to split the log. Hold it back 2 to 4 inches from back of splitter arm
The safest device I saw you use in this video was a brief stint with a chainsaw. I appreciate your tenacity to keep old equipment going BUT from a safety perspective I had my phone beside me during this video with 9-1_ dialled. Get yourself a proper I-Beam, gas powered, 2 wheel, trailerable log splitter. It will handle big and small logs much safer than the 2 splitters you have. As far as the small log cutter, get that thing in your workshop a make it much more stable and far safer. Just losing a finger on that thing would be a win. Just want you to keep you delivering your videos every Friday afternoon.
At the very beginning I thought, "If he doesn't survive the wiring project, I hope "Super Mom" posts the video so we can see how he meets his end." Then when you pulled out the homemade saw I just knew "Super Mom" would be posting the video of how you meet your bloody end. But, as luck would have it, you survived both and everything after that was bonus material!! Turned out to be a very entertaining movie! I would put it right up there with some of John Wayne's best westerns. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and an "F" rating, for firewood. BRAVO, well done my friend!!🙂😉
As for improvements: your finger remover cuts logs to a specific length: mark the same length left of the blade and you can easily fix logs that are just slightly too long that you couldnt accurately position otherwise.
If you made a conveyor belt where the logs could be carried and dumped into the cages that would be great.Maybe even add more circular blades to the shaft where you can cut more.
FarmCraft101 built a log splitter for his backhoe it seemed simple to build. Transforming a Junk Log Splitter into an Excavator Powerhouse (6 months ago).
We have invented something in Norway called "slow TV". They have been filming the coastal sea route 24/7 for days at end, a trainride from the capitol to another city hours away, a trek through norwegian nature for days, even knitting for hours. The interesting thing is that people watch these programs, also I. Why one might wonder. It's relaxing, even socializing because people are chatting with strangers on social media while telling where they are from.
I have an invention for you you might like to build..We built one of these for our farm to use on 15cm-20cm diameter trees. It will cut larger, but there's a risk that the tree, once cut will fall back onto the skid steer. We basically made a "swordfish" for a skidsteer. :-) I took a flat piece of 1/8" thick steel and cut a 8' long triangular shape out of it..I also used the plasma cutter and a template to cut out saw teeth on the two long legs of the triangle. The base leg of the triangle was only about 24" wide. I then took an 8' long piece of angle iron and placed another piece of angle iron back-to-back with the first piece. I welded the two angle irons together then welded them right down the middle of the triangular saw blade. The entire contraption was then welded to a skid steer QA plate. The idea is you drive the "swordfish" up to the tree..put the saw blade as low as you want to cut..in most cases, we tried to cut below grade a bit. Then you rock the skid steer back and forth while pushing the blade with each pass a bit into the tree. This sawing motion takes 4-6 passes and the tree comes down and you have a nice flush cut left behind. Works amazingly well and you can clear a forest out very quickly with it. It works WAY faster than a chainsaw.
2,5 hours - who’s going to watch that?
I will.
Me toooo. Lol
@@craignash4736 I'm in....lol
no problem with 5 hours to
I watched also🤔 in the editing software i mean
No problem to watch at all

What a wonderful treat, an Andrew Camarata and Ants Pants video together in the same day. Thank you both.
Best dry humor on RUclips prove me wrong.
Fact!!!
Yay 2.5 hours of sheer entertainment
Still the hardest working man on RUclips. Man you are something else.
Totally.

Iv had that battery icon for about a year now 😂😂😂😂
FRIDAY NIGHT AT THE MOVIES! Hell yeah!
Hey Andris loved the fast action , it was cool. Many thanks from UK, Long videos hard work for you but no problem to watch here.
So nice to see the enthusiasm of everybody! You gathered a nice group of supporters of the channel around you, happy to be a little part of it as well
Nicely Put I’m in
Absolutely!
It's Friday 8pm and it's AntsPants time...😊
Have a nice weekend Andris.
You too mate
winter is back!... good job on wood cutting and splitting!
Thanks 👍
I just watched 9,000 seconds of cutting firewood, and enjoyed every second of it!!
i did 3 sessions
You standing there after installing the outlet for a minute and then saying, "Oh yeah, the splitter." Is the most relatable thing I've see a RUclipsr do.
Love the content. But you need to sharpen your wedges and have the side V's higher up so they don't hit at the same time.
😂

Best 2.5 hours spent on a rainy Friday evening here in Louisiana
Love your videos and your humor😂
That is the weirdest log splitter I've ever seen. Looks much harder to use to. Love your vids Ants, keep it up
It really is!
2h30 jeez thats wonderfull thanks man
Too long ? 😅😇
Superb choice of time lapse music, it was SPOT ON

Omg I can't stop laughing, the staples in the hat are KILLING ME.. YOU'RE CLEVER & hilarious
Lol
Ants, I believe the white flower starting to bloom, EASTER LILLY.
snow drops?
Yay..! Something worth watching is on!
❤
You are the best... Stay safe. I would let you borrow one of my capes if I thought you needed it.
WOO HOO! Haven't watched it yet but thanks Andris!
Enjoy
Your videos are very entertaining in part because of all the angles you provide of the work you’re doing, as well as your editing skills. Plus, your sense of humor comes across very well on screen. Thank you. Happy weekend.
I appreciate that!
For 20+ years I cut and split and stacked firewood. And it had to be done in the summer when there was sufficient dry wood. It meant that I never had any time to myself.
This year I built a small, well insulated shack, drastically upgraded my Solar power system, and installed a inverter type Air Conditioner. It works perfectly, no noise, no fuss.
I used to love wood, now I love electricity!
I hope i get there some day good sir

Hello from the UK, antspants make charcoal from the crappy cuts of timber it will save you time in the long run.
ants charcoal is a clean burn with a bit of air, you can make a heater for the work shop. tell me what you think.
Yet another fabulous Andris work video , thanks for the entertainment mate
Glad you enjoyed it
Loved this full lenght movie, had a nice relaxing evening on the couch👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it
nice! a 1.5 hour vid from AC and a movie from ants pants. Cool Friday night bro! 😁
Thanks for the visit
nice clearing work by the guy, really makes a difference!
Yes it does!
Hi are you going to make your mom a home 🏡 for her she really needs it ok Love Lorilee xoxoxoxox
I will enjoy every bit of the 2.5 hrs.....I have watched every vid and I look forward to many more...thank you
Awesome, thank you!
best time lapses on RUclips!✌️❤️🎈
Wow, thanks!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much! You're awesome! ❤🎉
You are!

Entertaining mix, didn't feel half as long as it was
When you increase voltage,you reduce current for a same consumption. (ohm's law )
I assume the power company increased voltage to reduce current,so its power grid can sustain increased consumption on cold days like you have during the video.
Its distribution/production capability must be at its limit i guess,so the company is "cheating" with that trick.

2 1/2 hour movie of making firewood. Pulls out popcorn, cold beer. Let's do this!!😀
Thanks!
No problem!

Hello
wood yew beleef lt knot what it seems, wth only a splinta crew. much better on a beech,
In Nova Scotia water will run uphill, oh and then there is the horizontal rain. Great channel.
Been up there once and seen that years ago. I’m not far from there, I live in Down East Maine. That’s cool how the tide runs so hard it pushes the water back up the rapids.
When i can move there?
@@Ants_Pants Any time, we burn wood, raise honey bees, own a wood lot, always something to fix.
You make cutting wood for two hours fascinating you need to be nominated for an Oscar 👍
Haha 😅👍
Effing loved this video. I ussually love the firewood videos, but this one takes the cake. Epic 2 and a half hour movie!
Thank you for sharing, another great video, always a good moment watch your project 👍👍👍👍
Thanks 👍
Well. Everyone love morning wood..cutting..with BIG JOE..
It’s amazing that you still have pure gas available!
Our gas is crap, lasts maybe 3 months now unless u buy supreme and pay 25c a litre more and maybe get 4 months!

When my splitter gets stuck in wood I rub candle wax on the wedge knifes, usually makes it split with less force, especially in knots.

As for improvements: your finger remover cuts logs to a specific length: mark the same length left of the blade and you can easily fix logs that are just slightly too long that you couldnt accurately position otherwise.
A whole lot easier to wrap a chain under the deck and over the block and use the upstroke of the machine to free it when stuck
the wooden drive way could work if you use woodchipper..
If you made a conveyor belt where the logs could be carried and dumped into the cages that would be great.Maybe even add more circular blades to the shaft where you can cut more.
Yeah only problem with that idea is that stacking them is more efficent then just throwing em in the box

Yes
In England we call those flowers Snow Drops.
Dude, you should change the name from The Finger Remover, to, "The Amputateter 2000"

You could use the off cuts flat side down in that mud & make a little wood road all the way through there

We have invented something in Norway called "slow TV".

The interesting thing is that people watch these programs, also I. Why one might wonder. It's relaxing, even socializing because people are chatting with strangers on social media while telling where they are from.
Yeah iv seen those too
I get tired just watching you work! Maybe you should consider making a mud roller out of two 200L fuel drums filled with concrete and rocks.
Ibteresting idea 🤔

Hmm. Interesting 🤔
In the USA the Code for electrical wiring includes a large section in the code just for grounding.
Of course. Grounding is mandatory
Ants is genius better than any crappy hollywood movie. His timing is spot on. Absolutely enjoy Ants and his videos..
Kudos
