Don’t steal our stuff!
I admire your constant refinement of ideas that each require a re-think and a rebuild. You're a "never give up" kinda guy who can inspire others to persist, despite setbacks.
It’s so fun to watch all your projects, Tim! Your narration makes it even more fun. 🤣🥇🥇
Oh thank you!
On Steve and Chad Have a Podcast, Matthias Wandel listed this channel as one that he really enjoys watching, high praise for Tim and Sandra!
Really? I'll check it out. Thanks!
so happy for this video! making a rotisserie
You sound happy and proud. Great that you could celebrate the result by building this polytunnel. Yay!
Your ingenuity astounds me time and again! I love that you laugh at your "mistakes" in hindsight. Bravo!
Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry : - )
Try, try, try again! I like your spirit!
Love your work! suggestion; wooden wedges could eliminate the "slop" and are useful for various applications, I make a bucket full every now and then.
Happy to be the 1K thumbs up.... easier then getting potato to grow that's for sure. : )
Very nice in the end! Looking forward to seeing it work for the big pipes.
You and me both!
As a fellow farmer- I love your ingenuity. Keep it up!
Well, I think those potatoes have a smuk place. I bet they'll be very thankful and give you nice and early new potatoes in return.
I hope so too!
On my little phone screen it looks just like you're planting eggs. Now I know where chickens come from ...
I am dumbfounded with awe , someone important should give you a medal Tim .
Well done Tim! I love seeing your iterations and your never give up attitude. That's a life lesson right there. I love that you don't just show what worked you also show your attempts and what didn't work.
I applaud your ingenuity but more so for your relentless efforts to get it done !
Works great!
The forces involved are way bigger than cable and small shackles. The jack is 2ton minimum while those ratchets are rated a few hundred kg.
Yes, but the little blue jack is only a hundred kg
Nicely done 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
...I love that - and what's For dinner then ? Useful looking cloche tho'
I don’t really know why I watch these; I get lost on terminology and process within a minute. But I remain mesmerized. Can’t wait to see you construct not just greenhouse hoops but the roof of a whole riding arena !
You and your good wife are an inspiration to people may you both keep up the good work ,
From Sydney Australia
Thanks so much
Well goodness, you sure do need to keep your eyes intact to keep on inventing! Low tunnels are very helpful. You are on the right track for sure!
extra points for style in this build
Why, thank you!
Great video real stuff
Not a twist in sight! Well done Tim!
Well done nice and straight now. Just a suggestion. An old screw jack would work a treat for you this application. I guess you was keen to make it work with what you had on hand.
I enjoyed this one very much. It's been a fun run so far ,and really starting to turn into something. Cheers
Engineering on the fly. No Days worth of drawing Stuff. Just doing it, failing, doing it again....love it!
I too enjoy his design on the fly. I a. A retired hobby project guy - wood & Metal stuff for yard and garden! I tend to draw. In detail a project, and redraw many times. Throw most of my drawings in a box. I get to work with materials that I have or get get locally this way. Some I will move to a small computer cad drawer and actually can get lengths, angles, and multiple copies of drawings printed out with bolt , washer, nut count needed, pipe or steel length needed. It sometimes satisfies my curiosity without ever wasting any materials.
I can restock my drawings in different order as seasons and material available dictate. I usually draw in front of TV movie or as I am in bed, and cannot sleep! Enjoy your videos.
My rail wheels are my pain now, cannot find big pipe to cut!
I knew you would sort it out. If you had a lathe you could make up some heavy duty sections to support the dies.
Nice to see your problem solving!
That may be the coolest thing you have done so far, kudos
Just found your channel, and love it already. Has anyone ever told you that your voice sounds like Lord Bath from Longleat?
Awesome!
Absolutely love these videos.
So glad!
well a little piece of pipe inside another slightly bigger piece of pipe should make for a nice roller for the ekstra support. And keep the project kosher at the same time. Wonderfull project.
Good job 👍🏻
That is so clever!
when we fail we get answers for other problems but we need to experiment failure is our answer
Genius ❤️❤️❤️
Nice job
Thanks!
I'm in awe with your ingeniouty and tenacity Tim ! Yet a strange additional idea : would'nt adding brakes make it easier to use ?
Yes, you're right. But I need to be able to move the trolley for long pipes
Is that a "West Country" accent ? just wondering, easy to listen to for your wonderful projects.
I don't know why this just popped into my head: "Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius -- and a lot of courage -- to move in the opposite direction." A thick threaded rod like from a screw valve with deep flutes in it (is that what they are called? can't remember) with a wheel on it would probably be the best way to apply tension on the pipe without worrying about it breaking.. like the thing on the bottom of a commercial English wheel. I'd suggest Amazon or Northern Tools or Harbor Freight etc for things like castors right now. If they ship to Ireland that is. I'm sure you can find a wholesale website that you can buy a lot of them for a lot less than just a couple on Amazon though, and then you'll have a stock of them for later projects too.
It occurred to me that perhaps a faster, easier and cheaper solution could be had from 1 inch by 1/4 inch bar stock (25x6 mm). This could either be bought as black rolled 6m lengths or self plasma cut from sheet and butt welded together.
For the hoops you would bend each individually then combine say 4 at 6 m, secure together at the top with a counter sunk bolt and plug, the bolt long enough to attach either a length of tube or 4 more of the bar stock and repeat for the ground horizontals. Might need the odd tack weld to keep everything together. You would need to treat with an anti rust primer and top coat if using black rolled or perhaps galvanised bar is available . I have had good success with xylene based products which dry super fast on black rolled.
Using bar stock would simplify the rollers and the 4 bars together should be strong enough and much heavier to resist the gales you get.
Clearly it depends on the feed stock costs. In the UK the bar stock is very attractively priced but I have no idea about Southern Ireland. Perhaps there is some flaw that I have missed. Good Luck!
A laminated hoop - I like it! If you'd only told me this a month ago : - )

Tim, Question Please? - Why would you need hoop-covers inside a glass green house? Am I missing something? Cheers!
It's only temporary - I hope it will add a little more warmth to the soil for the next couple of months
That looks far better. The dollies look a little awkward. Have you thought about positioning some fixed supports and letting the pipe just slide over them?
You're right, but the supports would need to be huge (or lots of them) because the pipe keeps changing shape
I'm sure you would have come up with the dollie idea even if i hadnt of suggested it !...def seems to do the job
No, SH, I filmed this two days ago
BG - Great minds!
That's looking promising! You could do with a lathe for the kind of projects you do! Hard to find in rural Ireland!
He's got one! (It's a bit of a wreck, but it works!)
Get used kid's trampoline circles free from farce-book, and cut to suit purpose.
Hi there I've lost the email address you gave me to ask for the garlic. Help....

@@WayOutWestx2 message sent. Thanks. I was trying to remember it iron pig something I thought it was. Oh well. Lol. Xx
Sorry to tell you this, but you can buy Cloche Hoops on eBay ...
All about the journey not so much the destination
I see you rotated the device 90 degrees.
Try this, go back to 5he way you had it, then only remove the center die wheel from being on top of the pipe, now place it below the pipe, and the 2 outer die wheels below the pipe. In other words just switch the rollers around , and the pipe will bend down now ,and gravity will be helping you now instead of working against you.
In other words put it back like you had it but rotate 180 degrees upside down. Now the pipe will bend down and not up. Problem solved!
Having gravity pull down on the pipe as you bend it down is the key.
and dig a 6m hole? or put it on a 6m tower?
@@WayOutWestx2 Mount it on the roof
@@WayOutWestx2 LOL is that any less likely than you mounting it on a railway carriage?
Men, I don't want to sound like a smart ass, but if you just asked, you would save yourself hours and hours of work. There are dozens of us here who did the same mistakes, you could learn from ours, you don't need to make your own.
It’s the journey not the destination. And you fell short of your objective imo
I love to click on woke ads. Just saying.
