DIY Tractor Forklift Tynes - Forme Industrious Off Grid Projects EP1
For all those that followed along in my "Going Off Grid" series Thank you! I still have a lot of work to do around the property, actually perhaps it will never end. I have longed to get back into the workshop and get some fun projects started but more important jobs always seem to arise and need to be done first. So I thought I may as well capture the stuff that keeps me busy in the workshop.
In this video I make a set of Tractor Forks to help save my back lifting various objects around the property. Please note; These are not load rated and I use them at my own risk/ I am the only one that uses them. You must use things like these sensibly. I do not lift heavy loads that a forklift would lift, please keep that in mind.
I hope you enjoy the video and thanks for watching!
Regards
Scott

Bluetti AC500 B300S 7 Month Review used in the Off Grid Workshop
zhlédnutí 15KPřed měsícem
I have been using the Bluetti AC500 and B300S Combination now for over 6 months in my workshop. Using power tools and welders with the AC500 is a demanding task and the Bluetti unit has not let me down. In this video I discuss what I have found, good and not so good with this Bluetti package. I talk a little on how it may also suit your needs, or not. If you can build your own system that great...
Building my Shed Bar Room with a Faux Concrete look Wall- Forme Industrious

It's been over two years since we started building on our rural acreage. First we built the big shed/ workshop and the our house. My Forme Industrious build have been well and truly put on hold with all the "other work" I have had to do (and still have to do). Time has come to get organised in the workshop. I need to properly set up the metalwork and wood work areas, and I also need a clean are...
Going off Grid Ep20 Dust, Slabbing Timber & Cyclones
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 5 měsíci
What a contrast we have going from the Dry season to the Wet season. We went from it being so dry and having bush fire all around to wet and green in such a fast period. We have a Huge pile of heavy tree trunks from the clearing for the buildings and we really hope to use as much of the good timber as possible. It's a massive job and so I bought a Stihl 91cc Chainsaw to help slab the trunks. It...
DIY Off Grid Solar Power System overview and comparison Bluetti AC500 Review

First up: Bluetti gave me the AC500 and B300S for review. We don't need it, we already have a system, however we like the Bluetti systems and many people may benefit from sharing our experience and this review. Our DIY Off-Grid Power system powers our big shed and little shed home adequately. We have very modest power needs at the house and I do use the power for my workshop power tools. It pro...

This is a very hard post for us. Nala our beautiful Kelpie x passed away on Sunday 22 October 2022. She has been a massive part of our lives for the last 6 years since she was a puppy and a lot of you have watched her as we share our journey moving off grid. So young! How it happened is a hard to explain freak accident. She was chasing the ball, running flat out when she crashed and tumbled. So...

Judy and I (Scott) sit by the fire and talk about our Off Grid experience so far. It's not for everyone, but we are really enjoying the journey so far. We get our electricity from our solar power system and our water from what we collect from our roofs into our rain water tanks. It's a lot of work but is the good sort of work. Thanks for watching!

We finally got a start building our little Shed house/ Cabin. The video was getting quite long so we decided to make the build a two part video with the second video to be released in a week or so.

Going off the Grid Ep 9 - We have our Cabin Slab!
zhlédnutí 43KPřed rokem
You learn patience when trying to build in the Tropics over the wet season. We have waited 5 months to get our Shed House (Cabin sized) foundation and slab work carried out. The land has a gradual slope on it and we decided to "cut and fill" rather than build up the land which would have been very expensive. Unfortunately when the cut and fill was done, it did not have enough of a gradient to a...

Fixing my old 1978 Yanmar Tractor YM1700
zhlédnutí 81KPřed rokem
Bought for $2500 AUD with a 4 foot slasher that was badly rotted out, plus a back blade and lifting jib. Took a bit of work to get this modest tractor fit for work again. Sure glad I bought this Tractor, I always wanted a shiny red tractor. Sure I'd love a 4x4 Tractor with a Front Loader but they are hard to find in my budget range. I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching. Regards Scott

Like most of the projects I have tackled on this Off Grid adventure, putting together a larger Solar Lithium Battery system was a big deal.

(Zero sponsorship or incentives etc, all funded by Judy and myself). If you are going to...

    I continue to marvel at your ingenuity, skill, resourcefulness and vision, Mr. Turner. You have chosen an enviable (if not occasionally daunting) life path that resonates. This YT channel you've created is a must see for me and I'm always anxious for the next episode. It's a testament to living well, and its positivism is much needed and appreciated in an otherwise stark and depressing YT landscape. Godspeed to you and Mrs. Turner and, cheers!

    Those 4in1 buckets are relatively heavy even compared to a standard bucket. You’d gain lift capacity if you made a whole separate fork attachment. Simple frame with weld on euro hitch brackets.

    It's always a pleasure watching you videos! You built a nice set of forks useful for a variety of tasks. On my compact tractor and a few larger tractors I welded 2 short pieces of flat bar onto the sides and bottom of the bucket at a 45*, on both sides. Then cut two pieces of used drill rod steels to slid inside of those to make short log forks. The only purpose was to handle logs and they worked well.

      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious Před dnem

      It works fine. Saves renting Gas bottles if you don't do a lot of welding. Yes it's easier to see getting a start but most of all the shroud does nothing and gets covered in weld spatter so might as well take it off.

    gday Scott good to see you again , i recon the SWL on those tines would be around 150 kg max but i do like what ya did ,,, oh and how hard is it to use the sawmill and how long to do a cut , depending on lenght ?

    • @ScottTurnerformeindustrious
      @ScottTurnerformeindustrious Před dnem

      Your guess is a good one. Like I said it doesn't replace a forklift but it sure helps move stuff around even at around 150 kegs it's fantastic. The sawmill on Aussie hardwood is slow and tedious. Cutting around 3m takes a while, maybe 5 min. I would like to make a saw mill/ future project perhaps.
