  • Fabricating a belt conveyor for my homemade firewood processor so I can transport firewood straight into the firewood crates. This means I don't have to stack firewood ever again. I'm using scrap steel and bits and pieces I have laying around on the homestead to keep the project cost down. This video is the second and also the final part of the two part series. But new videos will come! Stay tuned!

      I am glad that you did the camfer I suggested on the last video, it does really work well! 💪🤓👍 I fixed my old Mecedes A180 generator pulley with this, it was rubbing the tension mount, you do need a lathe though 😁

    I don't even watch TV anymore. CZcamsrs like yourself are absolutely fantastic to watch. Great job. My father would love this at his farm

    •  Před 4 lety +4

      I stopped watching regulr TV about 3 years ago. I hated the cutting they made, then recycled material, and always before and after advertising they did a what's to come, and what has happened :P ... like they thought everyone was idiots watching .... with YT and the like, there's no such stuff, not treating their viewers like braindead zombies ...

    • @Redneckmfg
      @Redneckmfg Před 4 lety +6

      I admit I stopped watching TV as well .... I think you could rebuild anything just by watching CZcams ...

    •  Před 4 lety

      Same here. Guys like Donn are inspiring me to go and do shit with my hands instead of sitting on my arse. I also deleted social media apps and accounts because for me it looked like it made people even more idiotic.

    Outstanding! I'm a second generation conveyor belt technician, and this whole series was just a joy to watch. I've worked on hundreds of conveyors in paper mills, mines, lumber mills, biomass power plants, etc. This was great build! I have enormous respect for your talent and ingenuity, and I can't wait to see what you'll think up next. This might be the first CZcams link I've ever sent to my Dad, because he's one of the few people on earth who will truly appreciate it. :)

    Absolutely love it! Not just the latest conveyor build, but the whole processor. You are an inspiration to me as I begin my maple syrup business. I also have to deal with a huge amount of firewood and therefore have started to look for ideas on how to do things better and be more efficient. This whole project is a testament to efficiency. Great Job!

  • @kameljoe21
    @kameljoe21 Před 4 lety

    I am super impressed, The conveyor came out better than I thought. The whole set up is very nice and well thought out. Looks like one can process a lot with less back ache!
    The crates will make it easy to move and allow for much better airflow to dry out the wood, While keeping it dry from ground contact. Since these crates are stack able. Even your small skid steer should be able to double stack them in nice rows.
    If you keep with the IBC totes this will work well. It really depends on if you can collect enough of them at a cheap enough price.

    • @DonnDIY
      @DonnDIY  Před 4 lety
