Just an overall love for woodworking! Everything from milling, planing, and sanding....and yes even sanding! I love the quest for gaining more and more knowledge of woodworking!
Installing Nilight LED's For A Tractor
It finally came time for me to upgrade the lights on my LS XU5065 tractor. The installation was relatively easy with basic electrical tools and wrenches. The Nilight LED's were a drastic improvement over the stock pod bulb lights.

Lock N Lube Greasing Coupler On A Ridgid 18V Grease
zhlédnutí 203Před 3 měsíci
I have owned the Ridgid 18v Greaser for over a year now and decided to finally update and upgrade the standard grease coupler. I purchased the Lock N Lube extended reach grease quick coupler. It is a game changer for me! It turns greasing into a one handed operation basically. Highly recommend giving it a try!
Milling Hickory With The Woodmizer LT10!

I got the Woodmizer LT10 going after a long break. Milled some smooth bark hickory for trailer deck. The LS XU5065 helped out big time as always, but the new KC grapple is a much improved feature! Highly recommend!

zhlédnutí 2,7KPřed 9 měsíci
Finally had some time to fire up the new Stihl Ms881 chainsaw! I am breaking it in, so taking it a little easy on it. This saw will be used for quartering some big Oak logs that I cut this summer. Already picked up a Granberg Alaskan mill for the 41 inch bar and some ripping chains. This saw attacks the log! Wants to bite hard! Loving it already!

Thank you so much! Great tips and very honest.
Sorry, can't take advice from someone who has pierced ears... Do they make you feel pretty....
You should place the tank on a scale and run it full blast for an hour to see how much fuel you can expect to use a day.
Best install video I've found on this heater, (and I've watched several 🤪) Thank You.
@wildadventures4173 thanks! I appreciate it!
good to register it. i broke my 1/2 drill now i’m SOL. But i did buy the angle grinder. So i have thst and the flashlight which is excellent.
So, for ceiling insulation, the brown/paper side sits on the ceiling with pink facing upwards? I installed it with the brown/paper side facing upward and the insulation facing down on the ceiling drywall. Is this wrong? Thanks in advance.
@anonymousworldwide777 the paper should always face the heated or finished area. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks for watching!
@@HermanWoodworkswhat if you have both sides heated? My garage will have some heat/ac and the room above will also be heated/ac. I'm notnsure if I should put the paper facing down into the garage or up against the floor of the second floor. Thanks
@paulpaul1815 if you are climate controlling both sides, then the paper isn't as crucial. I guess my only other question or comment would be, does either side have the potential for vapor fumes or such. Because the paper is technically forming a light vapor barrier. So that could be a deciding factor to protect the other side from vapor pass through.
@@HermanWoodworks my gut tells me the garage would be more suseptible to dampness and vapor since it's at ground level and has a concrete floor which holds moisture. So I'm thinking for the ceiling of the garage I'd put the paper facing down into the garage. The garage needs full 5/8 sheetrock for fire code. I just don't know of anyone who has done it that way. The second floor will be much more climate controlled than the garage as it will only see two small ducts coming down from the second floor. I guess I can just get unfaced and then I won't have to make a decision. I just don't want a moldy ceiling in the garage.
Great video! If you have heavy wire running horizontally through your bays ( left from a previous owner), do you cut a partial ‘slit’ in the insulation somehow so there’s not a bulge at that spot somehow?
@ronoberleitner7547 thanks for watching! Yes, unless the code in your area is different. Either slice the batt to the depth the wire is and let the wire go right into that cut line. Or cut the batt to the right depth above or below it and peel some material back so it can drape behind the wire. Ultimately your trying to avoid any compression of the insulation, otherwise it isn't doing its job. Having some insulation between the wire and outside wall also gives you better fireproofing. I also did a video on ceiling insulation where I had to deal with wires running across bays. Thanks again and let me know if you have any other questions!
Pipe work is very well done thank you
You'll be happy with those lights, I have the same brand on my Kubota.
@mikeludwig4315 they have been amazing so far! I'm just mad I waited this long to install them! Thanks for watching!
Did you chip what you pointed out at the end of the video from the pile in 1 day, multiple days, 1/2 of a day, etc.? Or, you mentioned 2 hours. Did you knock out that part of your pile in 2 hours? Thank you.
@triciahill216 I usually get a large number of branches on the ground before I get the tractor and chipper fired up. It is really surprising the amount of material you can chip in 2 hours.
Any way to estimate about how much of your brush pile your chipper can chip in an hour or day? Thank you.
@triciahill216 I recently did a lot of chipping with it, clearing for a pond. One of the trees removed was a 24 inch at the base cottonwood which stood approximately 60 feet tall and was in the open by itself, so it had a good deal of small branches. I sent everything under 8 inches through the chipper in under 2 hours... let me know if you have any other questions. The Woodmaxx has been a absolute trooper for me!
lol 'jointing with a circular saw' step 1: GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
What do you think of the ridgid grease gun? I really want a grease gun that doesn't leak all over everything in the toolbox.
@mnotlyon I love it! The Lock N Lube grease coupler was a drastic game changer for me! I wasted alot of grease with the stock fitting they give you. I guess that company also makes a pressure return valve that you can install on most grease guns also. Lubing the tractor has become alot more enjoyable and way less messy! Thanks for watching!
Would be good to raise the poles up a foot or so, higher so creek high water won’t wash bridge down stream and to no have wood to soil contact promoting logs rotting.
@rogered5499 my plan is to build a small headwall to lay the poles on and avoid that ground contact like you said. Plus I know the kids are going to want to be able to go under the bridge and explore...lol. Thanks for watching!
So how did you get tractor across creek? It was a life saver.
@@rogered5499 I had to drive around to the other end of the trail and come in from there. I still need to finish this project. Soon!
Arrr …just going to put some pink batts on my walls to my workshop …but I’m here in New Zealand and our framing is completely different!
Nice
Since I am the drywall person for my own job, I appreciate learning about side-stapling. Thank you for making the effort to publish such a helpful video!
No problem! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Brother! 🥃🥃
Can you change out the dogs/spikes?
I'm almost positive you can not...I believe they are plastic molded. I'll check later to verify.
My isulation is coming loose and I cant find one fucking video to shoe me how to fix it. How is this possible? I can't staple. The insulation has ripped out of the staples and there's not much left to staple.
Sorry to hear that! How wide is it from center of stud to stud? Sometimes wide batts will have a hard time. I had one time where we sprayed on spray adhesive to the insulation and applied new paper or vapor barrier. Someplaces allow poly vapor barrier. Is it wood studs or metal? Hopefully I can help answer your question! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!
Have you chipped anything near the 9"capacity?
I have for sure! Gotta keep a hand on the feed bar, run it slow and let if eat! Most of the time it is soft wood, if it were a hardwood, I would just turn it into firewood. I have been doing alot of spring cleanup this year and thinning out small trees for my maple sugar bush.
Don’t use propane bottles indoors. Very dangerous. I’ve worked in gas business for 6 years
No guide?
Great advice
Wala naman po test before and aftee
It’s much smaller than I had pictured. Definitely going to pick one up. Great video thanks for sharing.
So you just compress it to 3 1/2" over the horizontal 2x4's? That doesn't seem right.
I may have not shown it in the video, but I usually slice the insulation slightly above and below the horizontal 2x4s. You are correct. Thanks for watching!
Gotta love these reviews where they never even show you the tool being used.
Let's go Brandon! That's who's responsible for those wood prices!
Great video - very informative I feel like I can tackle my insulating job now.
Thanks! Let me know if you have any questions. I did another video on ceiling insulation also. Thanks for watching!
Nice review! Did you ever compare 9ah vs 6ah battery? Your coming up on one year, would you recommend this ridgid chainsaw or should I look at a different brand??
I didn't get to do a cut amount comparison, but I've used both batteries with the saw and they both perform well. Since the initial review I have also used a friend's Milwaukee and a dewalt 60v. Honestly the Milwaukee seems like a solid unit. I dropped a 40 inch oak and did all the main stuff with my stihl saws, but we did alot of the limb work with the Milwaukee. My answer would be if your just doing some light clean up or some light firewood cutting, the Ridgid does well. If your going to use more extensively, the Milwaukee may be a better option. Do you already have Ridgid batteries? Also, whatever you decide on, check on home depots website. They seem to run package deals that are better than in-store options. Milwaukee even came out with a top handle saw. Hope that helps, let me know if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!
Or when you get to wire you can split the insulation in half and lay one side on top of wire and staple the paper side to rafters and no it want catch on fire or like that the fiberglass fire resistance
Hi, how thick are the boards you used for these planks?
They were 3/4 inch thick. They were suppose to be 5/8 but I left them a little thicker.
Awesome! Thanks so much for the quick reply. Great video!
@markkielman4777 no problem! Thanks for watching! Are you making some boards? Ceiling or flooring?
@@HermanWoodworks thanks again! This is awesome! It’s for the ceiling. Any other information or suggestions you have through your experience would be great. Curious what shaper blades you used. I don’t have any, am in the process of getting a planer. To be honest your video gave me the energy to get moving on this.
@markkielman4777 I'll check on the shaper cutter I used. I picked up the shaper and cutters used from Facebook marketplace. It paid for itself immediately on this job! Let me know how your project goes!
I wish i could like this video twice.😂 this guy is cool!
Thanks for watching!
Nice seeing father son time out in the woods.
My absolute favorites, family and the forest!
Remember to remove the left cover, a lot of dirt accumulates inside
Dude. I think that box just lifts straight up, you didn't have to pry it apart.
I'll be doing this to the exterior walls of my in process basement finishing. My anxiety lol. Watching the faced rolled insulation going in has calmed some of my anxiety about the whole ordeal.
Why would not hook up a shop vacuum? 😂
Where are you at?? No spring peeper sounds in southern WI
Northeast Ohio....they are screaming here today again! It got to 65 degrees today and they are loud! Thanks for watching!
What bar size is that your running?
I run a 25 inch bar on my 461 with a full chisel chain. It has been a real trooper for me!
Paper isn’t a great vapor barrier anyway just use home wrap on the exterior and your good
I wrapped the outside with Tyvek also. The building was a thermos once I did the ceiling.
Its great to stumble across a fellow woodworker when doing research on maple syrup making for the first time! Good stuff here and hopefully i dont fail on my first attempt
I've learned a decent bit in the 3 years of doing it. Let me know if you got any questions! Thanks for watching!
I have one just like it but it’s made by RYOBI so for emergency heat and heating a work space is great. I also have a generator for back up electricity.
Yeah I believe the ryobi is a clone of it. They arr great in a pinch for sure. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this! I just bought this saw for myself (69 yr old widow) who was tired of fighting to start the Stihl. This was a great intro for me!
Glad to hear it helped! Thanks for watching!
Can i do both sides on router? I dont have table saw
It will be hard to get a board that's equal width the length of it. If your router has a guide edge attachment, you could set it to the width you want and hold the guide to the first straight edge you routered.
I probably would have made my spacers on the bottom by using a single strip of wood the same thickness of the spacers for the heater to lean against
Of all the brands of shaper you could buy, you chose the worst on the market. Grizzly is the Harbor Freight rejects. The shop I work in has just about every POS that Grizzly makes, and they all blow chunks. By Laguna, or SCM,..... You know, something that actually works
How much gas would it use?
I felt like it was decently efficient. I ran it about 6 hours and it probably used 2 or 3 gallons.
@@HermanWoodworks thanks!
