That could work very well on a large drill press with a shorter rod. a place to bolt it down on the table, clamp the lid on, and added power of the press. That would be the cat’s arse, for grinding.
Looks like it worked pretty good...two suggestions, 1) Cut your threaded rod in half...lenght would still be enough to do the work, and a shorter rod would give you less flexibility, less chance of the rod to buckle or bend, possibly even snap, and shorter would be stouter. 2) Find a way to make your stainless steel bucket stationary...not using your feet...save you some possible pain and embarrassment in the future...other than that, I liked it and will subscribe!
I dug a hole with a post hole digger, put a coffee can in (not as sturdy as your utensil holder), jammed a couple of rocks between the hole and the can to hold it steady, and that worked to stabilize it. I had been using chains on a paint stirrer but that isn't working well enough so I'm buying the grinder head and the dog dish. I cut the shaft on the paint stirrer for more stability. You can take the container right out of the hole and pour it wherever you want. When the container gets chewed through, buy another!
Thank u soo much sir. That was perfect idea .I had lotof problem to crush my rocks stone, now I see ur video men u give me big hope .u did weak me up with ideas, thank u again.u are master . I have lotof gold my rocks didn't know ur ideas, 😊men I am glad I watch ur video.
Haha LMAO... glad your able to. Not the safest piece of equipment but I know of several ways to cross that bridge. The video is more for giving guys and gals ideas for them to expand on. Oh, and to get drunk on. Lol
Thanks Duwayne & Jeff, it gives me ideas, I have already ordered a Pulverizer identical to yours, it's called a Grinding Cup Disc Wheel from eBay with tax $23.66 delivered. I will use the one I am going to build with a Rotating Rock Hammer. Thanks for the video.
I just made one with a angle grinder, a flail made out of a couple links of chain, and some flat bar bent into a circle, and a few boards for end caps. Basically just flip the power on for 3 seconds and it's basically powdered. 5 if you want it powdered. So so much easier than the manual one I made. Cost zero dollars. Random crap laying around
We don’t need to know you’re gay and have a “partner “ and they make a portable rock crusher. And there’s untold dozens of old fools reinventing the mousetrap all over RU-vid
Excellent idea. Although I would use an iron pipe with a outlet and a screen and an improved lid, but you're grinding method was the cheapest so far. Thank you
You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Gospel.
I've been trying to reduce small amounts of different coloured bricks, rocks and stone to make cast concrete stone blocks. A simple solution which I would not have thought of, thanks for sharing
yea 2 nuts backing up the rod sound right to me lol. dont spin it to hard you dont want to break it there. yea i guess grindin is what them ladies tend to call it these days. if you listen close it sounds like a backwood dentist working on billy bobs teeth. hey great info thanks man! i like it!
I used a long anchor bolt and a oxy tank lid and slip fitting it powders it but……. It that drill binds up it’s gunna take your arm for a twisted trip and mess u up. I know from experience. Yes it works but at a price
Not sure, sounds good, BUT stay clear. Rocks are unpredictable. Watch fior jambs. Again this just an idea 💡/ weak prototype I had, to get us all thinking. I'm sure by now someone has come up with better & safer methods, (Like A Shorter Drive Rod & A Stationary Container). Thanks for watching and commenting. It means a lot. Whatever you do as you proceed with this or any other projects... PLEASE BE SAFE.
What I'm trying to figure out is where to get even low grade gold ore I live near golden NM so I'm sure there's gold mines within 1oo miles but they don't exactly like to sell or give orre out so I'm still researching
there's always room for improvement, but you did a great job under a minute. And I suppose you could put that same powder stuff back in there and grind it even further. That sounded like a hammer drill? yeah you might want to put a tube around your threading just in case it breaks. And I suppose you could put a shorter rod on it too, and built on to a countertop. Great idea though. I wonder how long that head last list real hard rock like quartz? thanks again
This works great for Hard but Granular Rock like Quartz, but not so good for Shale, Schist or Dense Sandstone. It does work but takes forever and the Nut tends to hang up on the Rocks in the Middle causing the bit to spin without cutting.
Great idea using a grinder wheel. Pour yourself a slab using the stainless to make a hole and embed a few hooks or latches to secure the lid. I see crap flying everywhere and it's killing me. That will also protect you incase a stone rips through the side of the stainless which one eventually will. As for using a shorter threaded rod I don't agree. I'd say maybe a black steel pipe with grease inside or something similar to support the bending/flexing. You don't want to be leaning over doing this all the time with a shorter shaft. There has to be some sort of bolt on flange out there to solve the nut binding issue. I was using a think stainless pestle with a pipe stuff in it and another pipe with a welded end as a ram rod but the pestle had a blow out today so looking for an alternative. Might try this. Thanks
Thanks for the comments. I know this wasn't the safest our even perfected by a long shot. Just threw an idea out there hoping someone can get a perfected working safe model. Again thanks. I like it when folks look at things with differing perspectives.
@@DuaneTheOakHirst I'm no expert and aside from the safety and the flying debris I think your idea is awesome and one of the best I've seen. I was just looking to see what I have already to do something very similar after I saw your vid. Smashing rocks is a whole lot of work and anything that makes the process easier without paying an arm and a leg I'm very happy to see. I saw a couple videos where people were heating rocks until they glowed red then cooling them down with ice to make them brittle before smashing. Doesn't work for all rocks but it did for the majority of the ones I tried it out on. If combined with your idea it sure would go a hell of a lot faster. Especially when you get to those rocks that don't become brittle. Maybe you could do another video and test it?
Seems to work weld a couple of metal bars like they use on fencing or rebar in a square shape around it. Then drop the bucket with square welded pieces of rebar into a square shape and it won't spin done deal
Right on. Always good to see folks thinking things through. Like I said it's just to get us thinking. Ya never know who will get this stuff totally right. There are already all kinds of crushers why not more or better ones.
@@DuaneTheOakHirst Not to veer off topic. But I was just talking to my wife the other day about when's the last time a new candy bar was invented? When was the last time we had a new this or a new that like why is what we have all that there is. In reality is that there's big corporations that will buy out people's patents and just put them away and never nothing come on the market some people and companies have gotten too big for their britches I think there's no room for people to come out with their little new
This is a wonderfull idea! As it is shown in the video its a bit slow even compared to crushing rock in a metal tube with a hammer or a pestle. Also the ammount you can crush at one go is a bit small even compared to a mortar and pestle. But by now you most likely have worked those kinks out im sure. After all this video is two years old. Very nice indeed. I will give that method a try for sure.
I think that is pretty ingenious. How long did it take to grind the 4 rocks in the container? I think you said the electrical fitting was 1/2". But 1/2" would not fit over the 5/8 all thread would it? Would the elec fitting be 3/4" instead of 1/2.
Half inch emt is measures on the inside of the pipe (for "wire fill" calculations) AKA ID. The pipe goes inside of the fitting, so 1/2in.+ watt thickness×2 would be the ID of the fitting. Besides he mentioned TWICE that he had to boar it out. So ya it's a 1/2 in emt set screw connector.
Ridiculous contraption. You could have pulverized the fuck out of that ore with a regular pestle and mortar rock bopper or a pneumatic hammer attachment in less time with way less work creating the tool and way less danger to yourself.
A few years later...I just want to say thank you for sharing your ingenuity with us. A few bugs....eh, but mother invetion isn't called a bitch for nothing....Good Work my friend.
That's a fantastic idea! After perusing the various fab and angle grinder pseudo impact mill constructions, I came back to your cup wheel idea and think it'll do the job for my needs. I'm trying to flake and powderize anthracite for much different purposes but on a backyard DIY budget. I have a few 'previously projected' stock pots, though I think I'm going to go old pressure cooker pot that at one time turned into a pressure vessel for degassing for the thicker walls and the gasket. Just wanted to come back and definitely add a kudos for the idea! 👍
maybe not the best and does need improvements. just tossed it out the to get fol;ks thinking. thanks for watching and taking an interest. rock on. and be safe
romoe69 Thanks for caring. I think I'd break my wrist before the rod broke and its just for small batch sampling not production. I also mentioned it isn't perfect still working the bugs out. This is the kind of thing that gives others ideas to brainstorm over and improve on. That's all. Again thanks for caring. 👍😎👍
