Dan Hurd was right there with him laughing at the jaw crusher spitting out one of the Jade rock hardly even scratching it then finally got a good bite into it.
So, River Rock/Lake Stone has this very interesting quality where they can sheer perfectly and cleanly in half, and the sheering always happens at the longest point. Essentially always breaks hot dog style, never hamburger, as far as ive seen. I just put some of the same lake stone into a wall shaped as an "N" yesterday, then today had to pull it out with chisels because the client decided he didnt want that anymore, yet pounding on the lakestone/river rock didnt chip the rocks, didnt make them sheer. They kinda just seem to do it spontaneously. Found a lakestone in a concrete ramp for a barn, the face of the stone had sheered off and fell on the ground. Excuse me nerding out over a couple of rocks, but really thats why we're here in the first place. Love the processing and crushing videos, especially the ones tailored to dealing with waste, thanks for the knowledge!
I used to work in a quarry, operating a crushing plant and crushing 'bluemetal' (basalt/ 'bluestone') for road base and surfacing, cement mixes etc, among other things.The system also had a hammer mill and gyro (cone) crushers in it. We screened various grades of rock out. I'd sometimes get really hard boulders, weighing easily a tonne or two , that would just bounce and launch almost entirely out of the jaws sometimes. These were rounded ultra-hard rocks that would ring like a bell when hit with a spall hammer etc. Quite a few times the rock was so tough that it would actually stall the crusher engine which, on the main crusher was a big 6 cylinder Benz engine driving massive flywheels. Many a time I'd have to stop the plant if it wasn't already stalled, and get into the jaws and sling the boulder with chains so we could lift it out with an excavator. Bloody hard some of those &$#@(& things! Hard work! My back was worn out at a young age from that job.This was over 30 years ago. Regards from Australia.
I worked in a quarry years ago we had a gyratory crusher that would crush a 35 ton Cat load of Benz sized boulders to 6”- before the dump truck could get its bed back down .
I spent a lot of time running bigger crushers, mostly concrete demolition. Jaw crushers cone crushers, impact hammer mill and also a combination roll and smaller jaw in one unit. I would love to do this at my leisure crushing gold ore rock as fast or slow as I please. I could see building a setup just like what you have. Thank you for your videos and knowledge
Sounds exciting a cool challenge I bet that jade would be beautiful tumbled.i bet it would take a while to finish tumbling because of how hard it is. Cool video!
Hi Jason, Great video! Washington state & Oregon have a lot of petrified wood. This might be a good rock to test if you do this again. A good lapidary with diamond wheels could cut a lot of jewelry stones from the jade pieces. Good Luck with the eBay auctions. Thumbs up! Take Care, Jim
I have some Arizona Granite, Grey/ Green that are pretty tough stuff. Some jaw crushers wear teeth marks into into them before they crush and they get launched out of the jaw. The only thing is, they are usually like a 8x9 rock so it might not fit your crusher . I'll see if I can set-aside a few pieces for you once I find them, they don't always turn up, but when they do you know it.
Those two blue round covers on the side are covering up the fly wheels. One side is a regular flywheel and the otherside is a weighted pully flywheel that has the drive belts.
A PTO crusher would work WAY better for me, personally, especially since I can just pull the crusher behind a vehicle and then crush directly on site wherever rocks are that need to be crushed.
if you slice the palm sized jade stone; then polish it to 50,000 grit; then it really looks nice. carve it with diamond bits and water treated with a really light lubricant. you can find jade near Oso.
Jason, I have a question. how can we extract gold in a powdery or salty form? we extract it in a watery form and it has so much gold waste. would you please let me know about it?
You make a PTO driven, 3 point hitch version that can run off a small tractor and every farmer and acreage owner is going to be running these things. Walk the fields, crush the rocks, dump on the roads. No more rock piles, save money on damaged farm equipment from rock strikes.
High grade iron ore? I've heard claims there iron ore from Australia that you can weld so i would think with enough purity iron ore or really any metal ore won't crush
The question is, if it pays off to crush this round river rocks. The consumption on the jaws is extreme. For sure that is a fact by every jaw crusher. It is just not the optimal system for this kind of material.
Concrete setting is a chemical reaction with the portland cement reintegrating with water so once it's set, it's set. It would take roasting the broken concrete in a kiln. There you could drive off the water and reactivate the cement.
It can definitely be used, in limited proportion, as an aggregate. The upper limit should not exceed 2:1 (40 lbs. of aggregate per 80 lbs. new concrete) for walkways/sidewalks. The maximum for any load bearing application, like driveways or foundations, should not exceed 4:1 (20 lbs. aggregate per 80 lbs. new concrete).
A lot of big projects these days crush old material on site to use as aggregate where appropriate. It's sometimes cheaper to bring in a mini batch plant and mix on site than it is it truck and dispose the spoils.
As far as I know, it is not as simple as hardness testing. It's the relationship between the materials' ductility and brittleness, a tough material is strikes a good balance of ductility and strength, and is able to absorb a lot of energy before it deforms or fractures.
Is there an online mineral identification site ? I just found some very suspect "galena" type material, very heavy. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something toxic (uranium?) Before I try cooking it off . I would put $hit in that crusher ALL DAY ! Everything. There would be nothing large left for Miles !
Hey Jason, Do you or Jeff or Dan need a Hired hand to help haul material? I'm homeless the very knowledgeable in your guys's field! And I can't even possibly teach you some things that would really surprised you guys,! I'm so honest I'm homeless give me a shot please! 😇 And maybe it would help to know that I've been watching all you guys for years!
Somewhere Dan Hurd just cried. Lol.
Dan Hurd was right there with him laughing at the jaw crusher spitting out one of the Jade rock hardly even scratching it then finally got a good bite into it.
Dan's video came out first 🤣
I was just going to say "I will always think of Dan Hurd imitating this thing." He's got it perfected.
😂😂😂😂

@@Travis_22 hay I just got told you are talking about that guy I saw die. You guys laughing at him made me feel bad.
Always impressive Jason.
Thank you 🙏
I've never want to buy a jaw crusher to make gorgeous gravel more than now.
My mind immediately went to Dan Hurd and the Fraser River when you showed those jade rocks. :)
I really need to see novelty googly eyes on your crushers from now on

First timer here; you and Dan, also solo stuff, is awesome!
Amazing. Thanks for the demonstration!.
This could be a new series. Will it crush 😆👍
Sacrifice one crusher for the task. Well worth it. 👍

Excellent video Jason very informative six stars brother
Making Toothpicks out of Logs
(Sammy Hagar) 😂
Thanks Jason
Peace Prospector Tripp
Learn a lot about role through these videos
Hey Jason...you should contact SpaceX and develop a rock crusher for crushing asteroids :) ....love your vids, cheers
Good stuff Jason
Nice work man!
I would love to get a crusher done day! Maybe when i move back over to your side of the mountains. Fun times
Something i always wanted to ask: does this jaw crusher have a fly wheel ?
Those two blue round covers on the side are covering up the fly wheels. One side is a regular flywheel and the otherside is a weighted pully flywheel that has the drive belts.
Munch munch munch. So rhythmetic. Relaxing. My new help me get to sleep sound. Munch.

The jade was putting up a fight . lol
The noise it makes crushing concrete is the same noise I make eating graham crackers
A PTO jaw crusher is a great idea.

Have you tried crushing cast iron or cast aluminum pans or engine blocks?
Hey heads up......asbestos don't cut dry or crush dry......cheers
LOL! I'm imagining a long running "Will It Crush?" series, like Blendtec did years ago. Anyone remember the "Will It Blend?" videos?
I was also very curious about the helicopter quartz
I was seriously concerned for the crusher!
Was thinking of sending you an old NOKIA, but I know your crusher wouldnt make it!
But nice for feeding your crusher some specialities!
Jason, I have a question. how can we extract gold in a powdery or salty form? we extract it in a watery form and it has so much gold waste. would you please let me know about it?
Have you tried crushing cast iron or cast aluminum engine blocks. Might be handy in the recycling industry
Jason, you seen those plants in India where they crush rock into sand? Is any of it sized correctly for Terrazzo?
diabase would be a good test
Will old ceramic tile crush to be gravel like material to use around the yard/driveway rather than send to dump?
You should offer a PTO drive option. People could tow the rig and power it with their tractors.
Did you not watch the video? Lol
Will it crush!
I want cast iron between the jaws of the crusher, disc brake rotors for example.
Can your equipment crush Jasper? What about large low grade corundum crystals.
Pto crusher would be neat too
Really, how can you resist putting big googly eyes on that crusher?
have you ever run the ground beneth the crusher through your shaker table ? i think you will have gold.
Care should be used when crushing Nephrite Jade as it contains asbestos fibers.
I got a bag of gold and boy r u gonna b happy.. ive already found a handful of rocks with V.G.

7:53 CLOSEUPS!
Hope on the jade you created some kind of jewelry with the dust.
High grade iron ore? I've heard claims there iron ore from Australia that you can weld so i would think with enough purity iron ore or really any metal ore won't crush
I can’t wait to see what the rock has in it. You flew off the mountain with the helicopter.
Dang, I was hoping the fourth option for power was going to be a water wheel.....lol
I was thinking "I wonder how big the sterling engine would have to be to run that thing" hahahaha It would have to be like 100ft tall.
I wanted to see a human treadwheel, for those unfortunate souls needing to lose a few pounds before Labor Day.
Will it blend?
The Jade rock can go for good money in that large size. To smash/crush it is a mistake because there is a market for Jade rings and jewellery.
carfull around jade dust its literally aspestos
Selling stones boggles my mind
You should pan all that stuff out and see if there's any gold in it
I have a crush on Jason🙂(or at least this channel).
I have watched this video.
The question is, if it pays off to crush this round river rocks. The consumption on the jaws is extreme. For sure that is a fact by every jaw crusher. It is just not the optimal system for this kind of material.
I have some chalcedony that my rock saw took a ridiculous amount of time to cut. But it's too nice to crush.
Why in the help would you even think of crushing Jadite or Nephrite???
Y'know, I've never thought about it, would that concrete powder set back up if you rewet it? or is there a chemical reaction I'm not aware of?
Concrete setting is a chemical reaction with the portland cement reintegrating with water so once it's set, it's set. It would take roasting the broken concrete in a kiln. There you could drive off the water and reactivate the cement.
Man I’d love to have a few lbs of that crushed jade to tumble.
What is the best way to keep the dust down?
Fine water mist
My head is a pretty hard rock. I'm not gonna let you crush it though.
Should give one of them bags of jade away in a give away
Check out what they're commanding in the auction. 😂
To far away in Australia
How to buy this jaw crusher in india
I'm hoping for an answer. Can that concrete be remixed, the way it is?
Sure the smaller concrete bits can be used again in another pour as long as you don't have a code to meet

Having been involved it crushing for a long time, seems that you never mention the wear cost factors, both with your jaw and impact units
If you look through Jason's videos you will find one that explains his hammer Mill and the wear and tear that occurs !
Yup he's talked about wear and cost to replace wear items in past videos... or a video. Jaws, hammers, even side plates.
Can you find gold crushing rock?
Is there a Mohs-like scale that can be used to measure "toughness"?
As far as I know, it is not as simple as hardness testing. It's the relationship between the materials' ductility and brittleness, a tough material is strikes a good balance of ductility and strength, and is able to absorb a lot of energy before it deforms or fractures.
I would love like 3 bags of that crushed in Jade because I could use that for my Tumblr
Check out our bags on ebay here: www.ebay.com/usr/mtbakerminingandmetals
Is there an online mineral identification site ? I just found some very suspect "galena" type material, very heavy. I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something toxic (uranium?) Before I try cooking it off .
I would put $hit in that crusher ALL DAY ! Everything.
There would be nothing large left for Miles !
GOOGLY EYES !😅
👍
nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom😂😂😂
but will it crush last Christmas's fruitcake?
Hey Jason,
Do you or Jeff or Dan need a Hired hand to help haul material? I'm homeless the very knowledgeable in your guys's field! And I can't even possibly teach you some things that would really surprised you guys,! I'm so honest I'm homeless give me a shot please! 😇
And maybe it would help to know that I've been watching all you guys for years!
You want to crush any kind of rock? Bake it in the furnace first then pour water on it. Then proceed to jaw crusher.
🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍
googly eyes ?
Someone needs to get out the weed whacker
The Jade is not a bolder!....Its more like a stone or a "DOG ROCK"....You know a rock for throwing at dogs...
Needs more googly eyes
Why are you shouting?
Can't think of a reason to crush jade.
Good thing you didn’t make the video then.
To test the crusher. Not all types of jade are rare and valuable.
