@@johnp.shannonsr.8125 ...just saying, there are many other you tubers that make much better project videos, and higher quality, who have been around for years, yet they don't get millions of views for their videos. I'm thinking this channel is similar to the Mr Gear channel, and is using some sort of bot to boost the viewed number up. Even RU-vid's own A.I. algarithm wouldn't be pushing these videos so high. I mean c'mon, his last video from 5 days ago has almost 360,000 views, with only 200k subs? The numbers just don't add up. But hey, good for him, I hope he figured out a way to scam the system and make some money. It's good to see little guys getting some of the money too.
@@johnp.shannonsr.8125 UPDATE: I just mentioned how his video from 5 days ago already had 350,000 views....well that was about an hour ago. I just looked again and now it has over 560,000 views. That's not possible given how the RU-vid algarithm works, so yeah I'm pretty sure he's scamming them with some kind of a view bot. But again, good for him. In today's world you gotta make money any way you can.
I can't stand it anymore and try to only watch channels without ads. Don't know about everyone else, but I don't have the luxury to sit there for hours in front of the screen. I used to love RU-vid when there was no ads.i would pick something long to listen to while I worked. now you can't do that because an hour long video or two may pop up in the middle of the video and it's a horror if you are in a ladder or other situation where you can't go shut that garbage off. It's torture to be stuck listening to some real estate guru or health nut for an hour. I just simply avoid RU-vid now unless I have time to sit down and monitor the ads to shut them immediately. Also, it's nothing but about money now. You can't tell who is bringing good info from their heart anymore . in top of RU-vid ads, they have their own product they are selling in their videos. it's not even worth it anymore. starting to hate RU-vid.
For me it the selection algorithm I avoid clicking on some subjects, because if I do click my RU-vid homepage will be covered with that subject for a week or two choking out what I normally interested in.
Ditto, it never hurts to have some hot water for coffee ☕ or tea, maybe heat up a can of pork&beans etc, be sure to slightly open the can unless you planning to do some redecorating.🥫💥
This dude just showed a whole world of people who haven’t built a heater from a cylinder how to, and all people can say is he used the pipe wrench the wrong way!!! Seriously..... Give the guy some credit!!!
It is so much fun to watch a master at work. We (Americans) are so spoiled with having ALL the right tools and getting to buy EVERYTHING we want, cheap from China, we forgot the fun and honor of making stuff from nothing, with basic tools. Thank you for reminding me with your videos! I use them to teach my children that not EVERYTHING has to be bought new and making something will give you the good kind of pride!
Speak for yourself. I guarantee all of his tools that he uses are made in China, since they are the largest exporter of goods in the entire world. And he is more of a Martha Stewart than a true fabricator, as he just welds shit to shit to make other shit, and I see no real fabrication skills involved.
@@douglasgoldstein8990 chill dude. It's the idea that counts and having been in the production business for well over 30 years, I've had to fire lots of "experts" that couldn't make a straight cut with an angle grinder after 2 years of "practice" as my employee... I guess you've never built anything from scrap yourself or your understand just HOW good this guy really is. So yes, the tools he uses are made in china, like most tools are...not his fault. But he can use 3 basic, cheap, Chinese tools where spoiled people like us whine about not having a cnc-machine... So what if he could buy the end product for much less at harbor freight.... It's the skill of knowing how to help yourself when the store is closed. Flame me, if you must, but give this man some credit. He deserves it. He still knows the lost art of improvising. So order yourself some chill pills on Amazon. Us older folks can appreciate this man's skills. Yes, I did buy a similar stove for a couple of hundred at northern tool...because I can. But I also could build one from "shit welded to shit", can you?
@@TheSourKraut sorry to burst your bubble fella, but like you I have over 35 years of fabrication under my belt. I used to work in the theatre industry for a dozen years creating pieces that you probably saw in a few shows if you ever went to Vegas from 98 to 2010. I also ran my own custom fabrication business specializing in high end wrought iron fencing, gates, and doors for over 6 years. Unlike you I never waisted my time hiring anyone, since like you said, nobody could work at even 1/4 of my level so it was not worth my time or money to hire an idiot who I would have to just end up babysitting. My comment about this Russian guy is mainly about the fact that he's using a program to get a false number of views, which is tricking the RU-vid algarithm to push his video further. I don't really care about that part because the governments of the world are making it very difficult to earn an honest living these days, so good for him on figuring out a way to scam the system. My main complaint is that his craftsmanship sucks. If you really have 30 years experience as a fab guy you would not hire him, as his grinder skills are very basic, and his welds look like bubble gum. It doesn't take much skill to come up with an idea to make crap out of junk lying around, there's already a million videos he can steal ideas from. I would just like to see one of these scammer guys making really nice projects to justify all the false view numbers, that's all. Come to think of it, I think I have a video on my page of a gate I did over 10 years ago you can check out to see for yourself my "never built anything from scrap" skills.
Douglas Goldstein thank you for the civilized reply. really! I usually end up in arguments with some kid living in his mom's basement. I apologize if I got a bit too personal here. that's not me, usually. I'd love to see your fabrication videos. I was in heavy machinery, so I needed lots of guys that knew how to improvise in the field under less than ideal conditions. and yes, I usually ended up cleaning up the mess they left behind... I'll definitely give you that. I never cared about how a tuber works the system. I was seriously referring to the way he picks a piece of literal junk and transforms it with basic tools and little time into something useful. maybe I'm disillusioned by decades of watching helpless idiots getting stumped by a problem that wasn't explained with pictures in a multi language repair manual. again, I hope you accept my sincere apology for blowing my lid here. it wasn't personal. I just like this guy's way of tackling a problem. would I hire him as a welder? I doubt it. as a team leader for the troop of idiots, stuck somewhere in Iowa, 300 miles from the nearest hardware store, on a farm with just basic tools and lots of junk? absolutely. only time will tell how good he really is, without the power of video editing. we good? our generation is just different. PS, I've been to Vegas (shows) many, many times between the mid 80s and THE 9/11, but have not been back since. so maybe I did see your work.
@@TheSourKraut no worries at all. I too can come off a bit blunt, but I'm just a straight up and to the point kind of person. I hear ya on the kids in the basement stuff, which is why when I comment on a video (against my better judgement) I make sure I know I can backup my comment beforehand. The younger ones today just spit out baseless garbage and then tuck and run when you engage. I fully get you on the building something from nothing mentality, especially in a pinch. It's sad to see that most people, men especially, these days are completely helpless in that department, but thankfully it'll make folks like us have a better life when it all comes crashing down...which I pray for every day LOL! I looked it up and I really only have 3 videos on my page from a full house job I did about 10 years ago. The videos mostly showed the automatic gate setup I had to customize. I hate seeing bars sticking above the walls so I made the entire guide rail system to be compact and super strong. It's still up and looks great to this day, along with all the other security bars and entry gates I've ever built. Anyway, take care, and maybe we'll see some genuine improvements in this guy's work, cause I'm going to keep an eye on him....mostly due to the fake view numbers, but that's a whole different thing.
I just stumble upon your video and I enjoyed watching you create these one of a kind ideas. Growing up with a family of machine fabricators and contractors i'm always surrounded with sheet metal, wires, auto parts and lots of scrap metal and building material of wealth...that i'm happy that you are recording your wonderful crafts for to be watched and marveled. God bless you Sir and wish you well. never stop working....peace.
Not really, with less than $60 of used tools it can be achieved. For the welder, find a friend or a friend of a friend or relative of a friend that could teach you or is willing to help. Guys that build like to build and like to help. If they don't, then they aren't worth a damn.
I think it is a great idea and you did a fine job ! Thanks for sharing. A gas-grill LP tank (of the size used in the US) might make a nice heater also,it is a shorter and wider size.
I used to make wood stoves from old hot water cylinders. What I found was that the key to controlling the heat was in the ability to shut the stove down completely - this stove will burn out quickly because there's a big gap around the door and the vent control has big gaps. Add another flange to the door, and some fiberglass sealing tape, plus make the vent shutter fit completely and it will be a good unit.
Wow amazing what ya can do with old stuff and a bit of imagination. My friend and I built one like this with an added tank on the side to heat water when we were campaign.
A barrel has thinner walls so it won't hold heat as well. I made one from an old transformer that had fairly thick walls. The GE logo on it gets some comments.
I love the build!! I was a machinist and a wider in highschool working in everything steal.. smokers, wood stoves... Moose bumpers. Snow Mobil racks...and then aluminum Mig and Tig.. total different beast but miracles can happen as long as you try.. Good on you bro. Keep it up. I digress, this build brings be mack
The only way that would be cost effective is if you could harness the heat of the sun with a parabolic mirror or a large fresnel lens. If you cover the dish of a small satellite antenna assembly with aluminum duct tape, remove the coils, and weld something onto the end of the arm that will support a pot or pan you can make a solar cooker. You just have to move it occasionally to keep it aimed at the sun.
Vanya you have a million views and people are giving you grief about the way you used the wrench - but hey great video people give him credit for his ideas and creativity - did anyone learn something other than the criticism of use of tools? I did! What about using that spring for the damper door? That is not a bot? What about using water to vacate the gases that might be left in the tank? Can you think of any other positive points we can learn from this video?
You can buy a super cheap welder and all the tools he used at harbor freight, its not the best quality stuff but super cheap and great for beginners to practice with. I wasted $$$ on welding school when almost everything could be self taught or with weldingtipsandtricks RU-vid channel. Most of my class time was spent watching his videos (so glad i wasted the money) Once you feel confident just go pay for the welding test cert and that's it.
@Jeff Holland Yes, I agree Weld a flat pan or a griddle onto the top, near the chimney. Put a Griddle over the chimney and burn whatever wood you like for "Smoked Fish"/"Ham" etc
... отличная получилась буржуйка!-, ещё бы по окружности балона приварить уголки штук 10-15 для лучшей теплоотдачи и комфорки сверху для приготовления пищи, а вооще-то идею подкинул мне, буду делать себе такую же в дачу, вместо кирпичной развалюхи, здоровья тебе и удачи во всём, новых творческих успехов!!!
Friend of mine done something similar to this, but, he forgot to fill the used bottle with water to get any remaining gas out before he put the welder to it 😳💣 probably the most important part of the video!! Be safe friends!
RIP. You're actually supposed to fill it with water and then cut it open. All he did was rinse it, still dangerous. I've read before a guy washed out a 55 gallon drum and thought it was safe, emptied it out and began to weld wheels to it and then 💥! Long story short dude died.
@@charliehustle2579 bullshit. I just blow out with air and I never had and flame. Volatile "liquid" fuel will stick to the barrel. Gas cannot stay liquid and stick to the container. Don't you know the smell will still be there long after the has is gone.
Fair enough. They got a hobby set up. I’ve built a few stoves outa propane cylinders myself and I got a nice shop. Honestly they didn’t a really nice job. The flue setup was well done
Always pull on the head side. Not the hand held. First lesson in maintenance training. When he first turned the valve off the wrench should have been turned the other way. Makes it much easier and it's how it is made.
Sometimes I feel like I am one of the only people in the world that knows there is a right and wrong way to use a wrench. Wonder how many peoples heads this will go right over?
Oh my gosh! There are 4 of us! How many wrenches have you seen people break the little jaw off of? I have seen drawers full of them. I think to myself “stop freaking using the wrench like that it you won’t break it stupid!” I don’t know how it doesn’t click for people.
