Personally, I wish more serial RUclipsrs did follow ups on their projects. Everyone wants to build new and big, I’d like to see how their old projects hold up after a year or five, and what they’d do different if they were to build it again. I believe that’s a sign of a good builder, a project that lasts and someone who admits and learns from their mistakes.
Yeah. And i am happy of the opportunity of seeing the forms being burned eventually.
Brilliant idea here...
The Wood Whisperer did an excellent follow up video on some past outdoor projects showing how the finish held up and how he's learned from some past failures and improved ruclips.net/video/kD9WstyGg-s/видео.html.
I saw a video recently by Foureyes Furniture and he showed a closet with a bunch of their old projects in it😂 they looked like they were holding up well, I just thought it was funny to think about these elegant pieces of furniture worth at least $1000+ just collecting dust in a closet
Good point. I can understand why it's not done if the item has held up well and there's nothing to show. It's potentially boring content. But on the other hand it's valuable to know.
Awesome book that gives you step-by-step photos ruclips.net/user/postUgkxTNB_zFBSnTo_O1PqfVUwgi7ityw0JlKt and directions to make every day project. I can see myself making a few of these projects and giving them as housewarming and holiday gifts!
Please build a pizza oven. The haters would have field day commenting on the process.
You want him to start a war?
I would burn the inner form of the pizza oven.
Lots of interactions for ya Jason 😉
Please just sent pizza directly.
@@wadopotato33 even better!
I am a machinist and started my first machine shop company in the early '90s. It is amazing how many potential customers that KNOW NOTHING about machining in any way tell me exactly how to do the work and how easy it will be. Here is a quote I like. Never worry about criticism from any person that you would not go to for advice. Truth. (Burn the forms out next time. The heat will help dry, and crack/explode, your new fire pit.)
We know you put thought into your builds. If you make a mistake you admit it and show us how you fix it. That in itself shows that your work is honest. Keep it going!
YES. I love real follow-up videos. Surprising that most people don't do these kinds of videos. This is free content for you and informative for everyone watching.
For what it’s worth some of us actually pay attention and never needed any of this follow up/ q&a. 😂🤣😂🤣
I LOVE YOU MAN!!!...I love your honesty and when you make mistakes is what I love more. Always love follow up videos
You might try one of the many concrete sealers to prevent weather degradation on the fire pit. Coating it once a year seals it from rain etc. It will darken the concrete in most cases. Great builds and thanks for the follow up on this one.
Your fire pit was my first adventure into the world of Bourbon Moth Woodworking. I watched it two days after it was released and I continue to watch each and every video you post. Keep up the amazing work!
It’s okay Jason there’s a lot of haters out there as long as your happy with it man. Love your channel hands down my favorite woodworker.
It's the stove brick that helped prevent spalling. Nice work. I have used paver block with a lot of success and seen straight concrete spall.
I appreciate you making this follow-up video to update us on how well it has stood up over the past year+, and your experience with it. Sharing the pros and cons, and what you might do different has a lot of value.
Cute, love it. If it gets cold where you live, you might consider sealing that tiny crack to prevent water accumulating and then freezing.
Wow people really complain a lot huh? Your channel is great, you do great work, don’t pay attention to the negativity.
I think you did everything right. Everyone should build what they think suits them and their needs.
I once built a barbecue out of a concrete stormwater pipe. It worked well for several years. Best grill I ever had.
Regardless of what other people think, the important part is that you are happy with the end result. I do think that a follow up video on some projects every now and then can be educational, so I am happy you did this video.
Finally, the follow up - I have been wondering how it went. Usual great work, thanks legend.
Oh no, Mr. hibbs, you just made those haters happy. All they want was attention, and YOU GAVE IT TO THEM. For us, or least for me, there was no need for an explanation. We (I) watch your videos for the knowledge that can be picked up and USE. For the info. Regardless of the comic relief, I watch to learn.
Just keep up what you do.
Love your videos. I’ve learned a lot. This is probably one of my favorites. Love that you called people out for their Incompetence of watching and listening to the video. If they did it here they must do it all the time
Thank you for burning the forms. Yes, I do in fact feel better now. The wood stamping came out great, btw!
You could try sanding and repainting the metal ring. Some high temp grill paint might do the trick. I've used it to restore a weber grill in the past and the paint still looks great!
I really liked the part of this video where you describe the horde of comments i.e. "why didn't you burn the form out", and you paused and took a sip of Bourbon. That affect was priceless!
OMG! when you put that form on the fire.... I'm dying 😆
Dude, keep doing what you're doing. Great wood working and entertainment.
From a civil engineers perspective it was good. The from it’s self was built very well, the concrete could’ve been lighter tougher so the ‘C’ could’ve been higher for example c65 would’ve been better than the c40 you used or what I believe is c40. You did all the steps for the concrete very well, the extra rocks was a great idea and is something that is often done. The fire bricks probably did help so it was good uou thought of most things. Again like you said extra air vents would’ve been better but other than that great job. I look forward to seeing the next video
Is the c referring to higher carbon or something? Sorry I could Google it but im here now ..
He could have 3d modeled it first and coordinated in navisworks to check for river rock conflicts. Overlapping protons can be your worst day...
@@jacobfreeman7427
My guess is cement content.
I don’t even have a firepit. Sometimes my feet get cold. I’m fine. Cool project, don’t let the comments get you down. Those are people that don’t actually do things.
Glad to see you do a follow up, and love the responses to the comments! I love that people will sit there and complain and criticize work people do without ever doing the work themselves. Keep it up!
You handle the Sallys well Sir! Thank you for the great content over the years.
Jason
you are simply the best. Please continue as before. I have learned a lot from your videos over time and received new suggestions. You are entertaining, explain your individual work steps and we can learn a lot from you. So keep it up!
Best regards from Hamburg, Germany.
that video is why I subbed lol; it's like some of the commenters just assumed you were going to use it as a furnace / smeltery; the funniest part is the use of the river rocks internally likely gave the concrete a natural heat sink / exchanger that would help prevent it from exploding.
dayton wheel rims from old trucks or tractor rims are about the cheapest/most effective inner rings for fire pits; old truck brake drums for smaller pits/stoves
Dude that was hilarious!! Thank you for the follow up. I watched the first one a while ago and have been waiting for the follow up to see if it would be a fire-pit I would build in my back yard. And your plans appear to have worked well. Thanks!
Thanks for the reply
Congrats you've won contact me right away I have something for you
Telegram👆👆
I’m liking for the squarespace ad. 😂
Ignore all the haters. You do great work.
Great follow up video Jason. The end was awesome when you put the big form in. Loved it.
I absolutely love this follow up video. I think you did a great fantastic job in the first video.
Keep up the good work
I liked your original video -- I think you are a quality fabricator. Sorry for all of the haters
I love that you got a video out of an old project, some quick updates and a whole bunch of politely telling trolls to f off. You sir win RUclips today
To shut up some people please do another video of this fire pit in another two to three years. I really would like to see this. Love your channel.
no, not happy! you burned the OUTSIDE form 😲🤣
Super awesome job! Thanks for the follow-up video. The one thing I did a little different was to use w-d40 to the melamine before pouring the concrete. It made it a little easier to take the inner form out. You are fun to watch & a fantastic teacher. Thanks!
HA HA! Love how you run and fall at the beginning of your videos! Keep it up!
I think Danny would agree that this is a great backyard fire pit.
...now let's put a grill grate on top of the thing!!
Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!
The original video is how I found your channel and started following it.
I really enjoyed this follow up video and wouldn't mind others in the future. Like for the porch swing that was burned or the cedar folding table.
OMG I love your editing, every cut to explosion made me chuckle.
They say: "Jealousy makes you nasty". Don't worry about the comments people make. I personally think that your DIY firepit is the best one I've ever seen. Even your backyard looks like heaven! I just loved the firepit videos.
Nothing more to add !! Bravo Jason !!
"If you wanna see me burn some flippin' forms, I'll burn some flippin' forms..." - burns the outside forms. 😂😂🤣
Thanks Jason..... You did great!!!
Brilliant! The follow up is a good thing for those who would actually want to make one, not just watch you making one. The good thing is, now, I know that's a working way, just need to put a hole every 20º, great hint.
Thank you!
This was awesome. I could feel his disdain for the trolls through my phone screen.
Coolest fire pit build I've seen! Great Work!
I would be jacked to have that in my yard! Looks awesome!
Gotta love armchair experts. And I'll admit I fall into it sometimes myself. Mostly when I see people soldering. I went to school for it, and did it for years in the military. The way some of these people are "teaching" people how to solder is worse than "fingernails on a blackboard" for me. BUT, I at least have a clue what I'm talking about in cases like that. Any other instance, before I post a question or make a comment, I actually watch the vid a couple times to ensure I am not missing something. Then, when I DO post the comment, I am at least am posting a question that is valid. If it seems snarky, that's just me trying to not take life too seriously.
Haters, everybody has them just continue to delight us with your humor and keep on building we love it. P.S. does this qualify me for a free coffee mug ( HUH ) i`ll be waiting.
hahahahaha! The burning the forms thing must have been really frustrating, but I am greatly entertained by your reaction and I appreciate you sharing it! I laughed sooooo hard!
No no, the inner form. The INNER form!!! SMH!!! Hahaha great video!! Love your channel!!!
18 minutes of "get fucked" and I love every second of it.
That was so funny when you put the big form in there!!! LOL!
Thank you for your video. I really enjoyed the follow up.
I’ve literally been waiting a year and a half to see a form burnt. Thank you so much!
I enjoyed you building this fire pit , I also enjoy your sense of humor I look forward to see more of your projects I would to learn more stuff thank you
Great follow up video. Top notch humor as always, well most of the time.
Very nicely done, thanks for sharing! It's a bit too small for me... but then I'm a bit of a pyro. ;) I'm planning to pour some curved stairs and garden walls this summer, so this was helpful. Cheers.
Okay, first off, I gotta say I luv your satirical humor most of all. Second, glad to see you actually read my comments. Cool 😎 hi! How are you? Next time someone asks me what's my type before they set me up on a blind date - I'll refer them to your videos. 😊
Meanwhile, I have an empty lot of land waiting to be filled with all sorts of projects that I've never tried before, and since I haven't got my own witty, creative, fit, handyman equipped with aaallllll the right tools 😉 to make my dreams come true, I'm stuck in the Yucatan trying to figure it out with little more than a blunt machete, an old school miter box made of cheap plastic, and a hammer.
I like the idea of watching you make a pizza oven, but even more - I hope you'll imagine little Red Riding Hood alone in a tropical jungle with hurricanes, floods, and scorching heat, dirt roads, no vehicle, limited materials dreaming of the perfect outdoor kitchen (because it's too hot 🥵 to cook indoors! The house is already a sauna. Oh, and also because this area has the CRAZIEST electricity system you can imagine, so think "off grid" ).
I've been trying to study to make smarter choices because, frankly, I can't afford to do it once let alone twice on my SSD budget, and I'm in no condition to keep up with you on the heavy lifting 😅. And I'd like to have a home to come home to before I'm too old to enjoy it, or climate change drowns my tiny piece of land under the swelling ocean. So, I really appreciate you. You're teaching me so much. And even if I can't ever afford a shop equipped like your's, I'm having fun with a few chuckles along the way 😅
But in all sincerity you do inspire me when you challenge yourself with the unknown. Or like the video of your assistant creating his entryway bench. Seeing y'all take a chance and come out with something useful gives me a bit more courage. Thanks for your transparency and humor most of all.
Got a question - if you had a limited budget, and no house or shop, what three tools would be at the top of your wish list?
I really liked your video. There is useful information inside, I'm glad I watched this
That was fun. Lots of arm chair warriors for sure! Keep safe.
Love it sir ill be looking for more of your videos.
You did a fantastic job! Enjoyed both videos on your fire pit!
It does look cool and I thought I might want to do something like this, but truth be told, my old (and I do mean old) 25 yr old washing machine wash tub is the bomb. Ceramic coated so it’s stood up the all the fires and I can grab it and take it along on camping trips. It does radiate heat to the point that my shins are probably well done by now. Maybe one day when I own an estate I’ll do something like this….
The reason to do a follow-up video, especially like this one, is to DRINK BOURBON as you reflect back on the video 😄 😜
For me, nothing beats just a bunch of stacked stones to make a fire pit. Doesn't get more natural and easy than that.
What a boss "I told you so" video.
It looks amazing and you did a great job winging it!!!
I think I would definitely be more worried about water than smokeless effect. Good work!
There was a scientific study done on the explosion of concrete the TL:DR is that the new concrete has a higher moisture rate but after 3 months it is reduced after that the chief concern is for the uneven distribution of heat causing chemical changes in the concrete and is more dramatic in load bearing concrete. if this pit does start to fall apart and you want to build a replacement use as little water as possible in your concrete and pack it in rather than pour wait 90 days and it will probably outlive you.
Big Like for this. And big Like for Danny DeVito always showing in your videos!
Well done. Nice to see the follow up 👍👍👍
Bahaha. This videos amazing for two reasons.
1 Danny DeVito killed me. 🤣🤣
2 I love the smart ass retorts from you. 🤣🤣
Soooo Perfect!
Thanks for the laugh session!
More, more more please!!!!
That was the first video I watched on your channel. And I've been loving the fireplace already back then!
Excellent follow-up video!!! For every 20 people who want to know how to build something, there is always 2000 people that know how to build it better. Of course they never post a how to video. I'm glad you posted this for all the viewers to watch. And also I'm glad it never exploded in your face. Wouldn't care to see a burned up Bourbon Moth. LOL keep up the good work. Thanks.
Jason you obviously did your homework & the project worked out great. I would have never thought of the River Rock between the two walls, but in hind site, it was brilliant. Great job. As the results speak for themselves!
Looking forward to next year's FIREPIT update!!
Don't worry I never doubted the moth man!!!
I built an outdoor firepit similar to yours, just MUCH bigger, 15 years ago. It has an inner diameter of 10 feet. The idea was that people could sit on the outer concrete wall and build a bonfire in the center and the fire would keep them warm. If they got too hot, they could always rotate their lower body out of the wall. Like you, I put river rock and rebar in the middle of the forms to save on concrete. Obviously my pit won't get as hot unless we build a huge bonfire, so I wasn't remotely worried about the concrete exploding. 15 years and several huge bonfires later, my pit still looks really nice. I never doubted your skills when I watched the original build video. Glad to see it worked out.
Hi Jason, when I 1st saw this video, I was about to say, "Is this a re-upload". Now I can see it was and just another humorous video follow up, 👍🏻. And I love Danny
Hey Msn, I thought you did a very good job putting the Fire Pit together. Everything looks great & it did not fall apart nor exploded. I knew that if you wait for the concrete to cure completely, it would be just fine. I’m sending you some positive vibes. Great job.
I found your videos about six months ago I watch them daily keep up the great videos, and as for those comments just remember people that do not do anything do not make mistakes and there is plenty of them out there.
*Excellent work!*
Seeing you burn the frame in spite of the comments: Priceless :))
You're Amazing! Love your videos! Keep it up!
Great video - keep it up Jason
Fantastic fire pit. But better than that... amusement value of the voice-over! loving the knee slides! all the best my friend.
LMAO, I can just imagine you reading all those comment and your reaction.. You def had that ringing in your head at night! Good to know you actually read post. Your humor is the best out of any RUclipsr woodworking or not!
A bloody hilarious follow up!
This video is a great example of why I don’t read comments often, especially on makers channels. _A lot_ of folks are clueless.
