"Self-Reliance" is an 1841 essay written by American transcendentalist philosopher and essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. It contains the most thorough statement of one of Emerson's recurrent themes: the need for each individual to avoid conformity and false consistency, and follow his own instincts and ideas. This channel will approach self reliance from a modern perspective. and will focus on various build projects using modern amenities, and tools to build a completely self reliant lifestyle.
Many people ask me where I am from and where I film my projects. I am from Northern Ontario, Canada, and live in an area where off-grinding is easy because I have lots of land to build on and experiment with different buildings and materials. Everything I do is to try to be more self reliant, and to depend less on others. But that doesn't mean I don't like working together with other people on projects. Knowing people who have skills is part of being self reliant, and trading skills is a great way to get more things done! - Zábava
If you mount the feeder table on incline down to the crusher, the shaking of the machine should feed the rocks on the table into the crusher.
The hopper should be feeding over the engine, that hoop on top of the crusher is suppose to attach to the hopper to shake it and feed it.
I have an 8x14 with a 6ft tray sloped down. This machine only bounces because its on wheels. Mine is stationary and does not bounce and so wont self load. I ended up mounting the tray on springs and making a simple vibrator with 1/2 hp electric motor running from a generator.
You don't need much of an incline. Just put a vibrating motor on the bottom with like a 10 precedent incline. They are used for concreat and are relatively cheap.
So Boring
My back is sore from just watching you pick up rocks. lol.
My back is fine.... My arms are tired... ;-)
@@ModernSelfRelianceI've been in the aggregates trade for 30 years. Done my fair share of crushing. Your handy, why couldn't you make your own stacker out of an old hay elevator? If you keep the jaw full it will work better and you won't get as many popping back out.
My back is out, for 2 weeks now, I wish I could bend over to pick up a rock😢
I second that...😅
HAha I was just thinking that
I used to work at a commercial rock crushing company and we crushed river rock. The jaw we had was three times the size of yours. There was a screening deck that fed the jaw the larger rocks. The smaller rocks fell through and were sent either to cone crushers or another screener to sort out round rock for concrete. We easily had two miles of conveyor belt to transport the rock into the crusher area. Our jaw crusher didn't crush down as small as yours; we used cone and roller crushers to dial in the aggregate sizes we sold.
"You know how a machine kinda tells you when it's time for a coffee break?" This is something that only comes out of the mouth of someone who has put in some hours and seen some stuff. Well done, as always!
All of your improvements were very impressive! And in this version no rock flew directly at your head! But the greatest addition was Don.
Ironically the hopper when you put it on initially is actually backwards from what it should be. It should be feeding from over the engine which is what that hoop on the top is for as it attaches to the hopper to shake it. The shaking action of the crusher will automatically feed the rock in with the proper chute and will keep it from launching those harder rocks. Also you need some way to move the rock away from the exit point, be it a hill side, a raised mound or a pit with a exit chute.
Glad to see don back. Was concerned.
Man, have you ever been busy. Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.
This is the most sustainable version of gravelling a driveway i've ever seen. Helping others and turning waste into something useful.
The stones on this guy...🤯
Dig a pit on the down side of a hill, place crusher at top with conveyor belt speed to match the crusher and a large hopper to fill & walk away from while it works
It's kind of cool how the Alibaba listing now includes a snippet of your first video with the crusher. Thanks for posting this - I remember picking rocks was my least favorite job on the farm. My brothers were older than me and got to pick all the big rocks, so I was relegated to not even the fun rocks. I had to pick all the little ones. :P
Man my bro and sis and I have picked dump trucks of rock and went thru a lot of gloves
@@3_Klos1122 funny how those rock picking memories stay with us !
Hopefully they asked permission. So many sellers will do stuff like this and give 0 accredation to the content creator or some form of kickback from the sales jump generated at least.
Kevin. You are not afraid of hard work!! Love your videos.
He said “he got a rock problem and I need rocks.”😂😂😂😂
Hello there
Good to see Don back, and helping again!!!😊🎉❤ Happy Easter!!!
Thanks for the exercise,I thought It was doing me some good till I realized it was you doing the work
Nice job Kevin and Don, and the mighty little crusher. Thank you for sharing your adventures
The way I've seen these things at little gravel pits is the unit is up on a rise and you can dump directly into it and there is a good area under it for the gravel to build up.
If someone is going to stand right there and feed I'd definitely rig up some sort of water spray, lot's less dust when the rocks were all muddy
Great suggestion, Simple solutions to make the process much better.
Wow that is a lot of rock to be picked by hand. Much respect to you for putting in the work to get what you have a need for.
Also, good to see Don out and about 😊
This is huge
Your drive ways going to be awesome
I always had a satisfaction with these types of crushers, stationary and mobile. at my old job we had a jaw crusher that we could run about 3000tn per day through. one of the biggest in our company. 40 inch by 48 inch with somewhere around 80-85tn (160,000-170,000lbs) of crushing force
that rock you're crushing looks like a mix between Limestone, Gneiss, and Granite. not sure about that bluish rock, though. we've got a good bunch of blue/green rock similar to that and our geologists say that it's almost always limestone
I ❤️ your ingenuity I can watch your videos for hours! Thanks
nice! thanks for the content and so nice to see don!
Thanks for posting, always fun and a very learning experience
You are crushing it with your channel Don☺️
😄😄😄😄😄☺️😊
Version 2.0 is a big improvement. Don seems to be a necessary upgrade to the process!
It's true, very valuable...
I think that if the table was raised to about 5 degrees tilting toward the crusher, the vibrations of the machine itself would cause it to self feed.
oddly satisfying stuff this!
Great to see Don back in action!
If you put your loading deck at a 20ish degree angle and made it super ridgid to the structure of the crusher it may become its own vibratory funnel. Have the loading deck loading from the side like you currently have it and then have a conveyer coming straight out of the bottom under the loading deck for stacking the gravel. Vevor has some conveyers that are cheap you may be able to modify to work
You beat me to it. Rock on!
This video rocks, you guys are really crushing it out there today!
So cool modification design.such a powerful crushing ability.
It is really amazing Kevin.👍👍
You make our machine more interesting and valuable.
5:33 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂no Kevin more like 2 birds and millions of stones😅😅😅😅😅
it is going to look good with all the hard work putting into it
adding the funnel was a great idea
You know the gravel coming directly down is probably a major part of the problem with it. You already have it elevated a bit, you could get a used slide from a kids playpark or something and mount it right underneath to guide the gravel off to the side a bit where its easier to get with the loader. No need for a belt.
Main benefit of him using it to make gravel for the driveway is he literally could move the crusher on the driveway, crush some, move it forward, crush more.. then just grade out all the little piles.
Thanks for the video Kevin. Happy weekend!
Welcome back Don. God bless you.
IMPRESIVE. AS ALWAYS. YOU DO AN AMAZING JOB.
GOOD TEAM WORK.
This is the new Red Green Show.
"If women don't find you handsome at-lest, they will find you handy"~Red Green
Hmm, where's the duct tape?
He kept his stick on the ice.
So satisfying watching and listening to this!
You can compare the current crusher plate to one of the new spares to determine wear
Awesome recovery don! You guys rock man, no pun intended. This machine is beast. They sell those crushed rocks by the ton. Might be a side hustle prospect for you guys 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Patiently awaiting more videos from you!!! So entertaining!!!
The loading table is a keeper. If it was on four tires you could move it around!
Awesome work and awesome video. Really really impressed!
I can’t wait for mine to come!!! 🤩
Don is back! I'm happy he is doing ok. I hope to see many more adventures with him?
Great job! Hi, Don! Nice to have you back on the videos. Someone needs to keep an eye on Kevin.😊
Wow, well done collecting the rock in the first place. That's some dedication!
This was a really cool project!!!😊🎉❤
Good thing I am keeping an eye on u, and I was on youtube. Another alert I did not get just lucked out this time. Kevin, do you post these videos on Rumble to?
I haven't looked into Rumble yet.
I see they are using your 1rst video on their sales site hope you're getting paid for it. 👍
They just received our order! I appreciate seeing this video!
When you made the first video with the rock crusher this was the exact video I was hiping for in the future.
Great vid Kev!
Really enjoyed the content have a goodnight and Happy Easter Jimmy from North Attleboro Mass.
Now you're ready to go gold prospecting!
Thanks for the show. A little security note; find out what a chain curtain is and build your there hence fully enclosed hopper funnel to gravity feed ( by adjustable floor angle).
Rock projectiles are the oldest skull crushing hair pullers we have :)
Always fascinating! Genius mentality at its best!
you should try making concrete and then making concrete structures from the rock
That welding gun is gnarly man🔥
Great video man it kinda looks fun and a good workout
My wife and I have been watching your videos on the rock crusher with great interest! We have an off-grid property with a large quantity of very large limestone boulders that we would like to turn into gravel. Our road needs helps and this would work perfect. The manufacturer now has your videos featured on their product page too :)
Well it certainly can crush limestone
My wife and I are ordering ours' today/tomorrow... we are off grid north of Reno-Sparks, Nevada.
Great show and a lot of hard work there. Crush those rocks. Picking up rocks was No fun. Have a great day and say hi to Don also.
Strangely entertaining. You would be a fun guy to work with.
You need to make a small conveyor system for your gravel to your dump trailer. Love your videos Kevin ❤ cheers from Saskatchewan.
A old square bale conveyor with the right modifications made to it would work 👍
Good video Kevin! That machine really does work well. I think that the second modification you did to it really worked better! I would think that by crushing your own rocks you saved a lot of money by doing that, hopefully not stating the obvious their! Was good to see Don their working with you! Enjoyed the video man!
That crusher is holding up much better than I originally thought it would. I am impressed! It still looks like really hard work though.
I want to know more about these blue rocks.
Do a big flat bed you can dump a bucket of rocks on and use an old wood slipper hydrologic ram to push/ feed the table into the hopper
That's pretty genius.
Should have kept watching before I commented, but keep this table but add the ram to feed for you
Ha ha ha ‘rock jam’ wouldn’t that be a dam?
Nice crushers, best to all yall.
you got your rocks now roll lol
Hey Kevin! Glad to see another episode of your creative ways to build things and repurpose items. I recently found access to the back area of a furniture building buainess where I have found enough scrapwood to cut 2 meter long 2×2's. I used 2 front tires from old scooters and built a trailer. I often thought " what would kevin do?" During the build. Hope to see your bro in your vids
Always fun always
Nice to see don helping a bit 😃
It's amazing how little rocks are on the fields edge, where I am in Australia you can find fencelines lined with mounds probably 4ft high, 6ft + wide and 100s of feel long., I've picked tonnes up from one spot and barely made it 20m.
Brilliant bootstrap engineering, version 2 so much better, enjoyed every minute!
I would’ve just gotten a couple dump trucks of Bluestone but hey, I’m lazy lol I rather throw money at it😊
Sick vampire canine you got man
Hi Kevin! I'm your biggest gravel fan! That chute and Hopper are true genius. If I had that machine, I would crush rocks all day, every day! I wonder if you could make a water powered conveyor? It could dump into a giant, shallow pan that's slightly tilted. When it's full, you could drag it with your tractor and spread it where you want it. Sorry, I know you've probably got better things to do, I just love that machine 😊
I think WAY too much about gravel.
I hear you! So satisfying, isn't it?
Wow, you really "crushed it" with this video!
My favorite show is back was concerned after nearly three weeks of no Kevin and Don. I can’t believe you hand loaded all those rocks who needs a gym to get a workout
Great Job!
The money you’re saving, and if you can sell this hopefully you’ll pay off what you paid for the machine was well worth it. Thanks for a great video Kevin. Happy Easter to you and your family. Good to see you, Don. Happy Easter to you and your family also..
they used to call that " yankee inginuity"....incredibly satisfying when something works! Happy Easter!
Lol Now that's the way you get more done faster..... Stage 2.1......... Call DON! 👍🤣😂 LOVE THE CRUSHER! Great build!
If this becomes a permanent installation, I think it might work well to build a raised platform for the crusher, where the new gravel will drop onto a sharply angled slope below, going off to one side. For example, looking at the crusher from the engine, rock is brought in from the right, gravel drops to angled channel going to left, where it can be pushed away using the power-blade of your choice.
Lots of labor setting up the installation, cement to make concrete, but it should be cheaper than buying and maintaining conveyor belts. You could probably have a minor side hustle of performing gravel conversion for people who bring their own rocks(except the blue ones).
WOW.............This video Rocks!
ASMR rock crushing.
Loved this video. This stuff is where you are so good. You need to keep your eyes open for some haybale conveyors that you could adapt for rocks!
That's the plan. Gonna keep my eyes peeled.
@@ModernSelfReliance I was thinking the same, I think those rocks would destroy most farm conveyors in just a few minutes though..
Can't believe how unstoppable that thing is
Had to search for you this morning. So glad to see you guys. Happy Saturday!
The setup you've made out of unused implements, genius. I would think the removal of gravel quicker, would help a grrat deal. Its a two man job to be sure, or more efficient, great to see Don again. Looking forward to you "tweaking" it in the future...lol 😂😅 Love what you're doing 😊
Keep an eye on all your local machinery auctions for conveyors, they come up quite often.
Nice! Like it. What you building next cabin wise? Can't wait
Kevin it ain't pretty but people that can take this,that and a few other things to make something that benefits your homestead,I like it.
I've been wanting one of those for awhile but have concerns about them, thanks for the video, it seems you have really put it through the test, how fine have you crushed it.
You should ask Dan Hurd about those blue rocks
Lol. Love a good CZcams mashup!
I own one of these as well. I built a top over the top of jaws bolted to the 2 handles with sides to keep the round rocks from firing out the top. They hit and fall back in. Noisy but effective. Hope this helps. Bought an old bale thrower cheap and mounted 1 of the 4' conveyors under machine with a chute from crusher. My back thanks me. Was nervous about engine when I got as it came with spare head gasket (?) but so far so good. Keep up great work.
If Colin Furze and early Wranglerstar did a collaboration, that would be this channel. Love the content!
Time to look for Gold in the crushed lock. Great video.
