More Granite trenching with Explosives 

MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼……………………………… Wake up and a Demolition Dave video, what a way to start my day!!! LOL Oh, the rant you started and cut short, I think me and you could hang out together and get along just fine! Audio was great btw.

Audio was great. Heard machines in the background but they were not harsh at all. Good combo.

Dave, the remote mic is a huge improvement. The sound quality is excellent, and it adds a ton of interest with you being able to describe what you are doing as you do it. I really appreciate you investing in your viewers.

great hearing you chat while prepping the holes. love your vids man!

"I better be careful what I rave on about..." No, Dave, by all means, rave on. It was good to listen to what you had to say while you were rigging the shot. This was a great video because you can clearly show how much calculation and judgement goes into setting up and laying out a job. You need a couple of apprentices.

It's always a great morning when I can drink coffee and watch demolition Dave blow things up!

Always a fun day, When Demolition Dave Blasts! Away!

Audio great, another rock turned to dust. And another great operator on the bucket

The new mic is doing a great job. Hardly noticed the excavator. I really enjoyed the format of the first 15 minutes.

Good stuff Dave. As others have said the mic is a vast improvement and love the description while you are loading.

thank you Mr D audio was clear and once again rocks into pebbles - thanks for sharing this with us

Awesome video. The audio was great. Sorry to hear about the loss of potential work. Have a great day and I’m looking forward to the next one

Agree with others, audio is great and it adds a fun perspective as you are figuring out what you are actually going to blast. Love your thought process.

As a person with hearing issues and hearing aids, I love your new microphone. Even with the background noise, I could hear and understand you clearly. Normally, that amount of background noise would prevent me from understanding anything said. Your commentary was excellent, and I love your work.

Shame about the loss of the forestry jobs ... really enjoyed the Uncovered shots!!! Audio sounded excellent! Thanks for sharing 🇨🇦

awesome video dave loving the new microphone very clean clear sound also thank you for walking us a bit more through the processes

Great video, love the commentary, audio was super clear

Nice to see you Dave, it's a pity that the forestry work has stopped. It was good to see abit of rock flying. Anyway keep up the good work mate 👍 👌

Thx for the video Dave. Have a great day, greetings from the Netherlands 😊

Audio is enhanced with new wireless mike. Great video selection for various holes made. Appreciate the new narrative as well! Kinda liking the shaded late in the day video shots for a change but I'll bet the traffic is not as nice durring rush hour.

Good Wednesday morning Dave it's 52°f here in PA. Great video

Microphone adds a completely new dimension to your presentations.

Dave great format change! Well done, and the DJI is good.

Your new Mic and Camera are working Great. I like how you explain the loading of the Charge size depending on the Rock and depth👍. Totally understandable leaving the deeper Drilling for the Drilling Rig doing them by hand swapping Rod's out has to be a hard Day's Work.

Thanks Dave. Man that red drill really flys through granite.😅

Great way to start the morning with some rock destruction!

Great audio Dave. Combined with new camera and of course your skilled editing a very polished presentation. I bet doing the deeper holes would shake your fillings loose. Thanks for brightening up our day.🐻

Very good audio and video. Thanks!

Awesome audio with the new mic. Enjoy the running commentary.

Good onya Dave that was an excellent video mate and I could hear you loud and clear all the way from WA! 👍🏼

Just discovered your channel last night. I really appreciate the content. The audio from the new mic is great. Thank you.

Another great video Dave .

Great watch Davros. Best yet hearing your opinions. 👍👍

332 👍's up demolition Dave thank you for sharing 😮🎉

Good Long stuff =) Keep it up Dave!

Dave I think the new mic is working very well. It's nice to see a tradesman pick up his debris , I've seen jobsites that look like a dump. It's also a shame a man can't speak his mind . In Alaska the temp is about the same as yours , we are just heading into winter. Cheers

Audio is very good. I keep the raw audio on the camera as if the mics fail for some reason you still have some fallback audio for the ambiance and then just do a dub where needed. For me it has rescued many hours of video production.

Hi Dave, nice video, really well composed and the audio was great. I honestly don't mind a bit of background noise as it adds to the knowledge that you are on a work site and working with/around the needs of others. Here in northern Scotland we have had our first frosts of autumn. Last year we got down to -17°C and lowest we have experienced was -24 during 2010's horrible 6 months of snow winter. Stay safe and warm, regards from Scotland.

For some imaginary reason, I want to believe that Mr. Dave is actually former MI-5 (or the Australian version), and worked in Special Operations for His Majesties' Gov't. LOL

G'day the new camera and mic sound and look great mate 👍

Great videos mate! Our limestone pond is almost done. Drilling with 3/4 inch dewalt hollow bits and splitting with wedge and feathers. The bits have a vaccum swivel but we are pumping water through instead. Lots of work but it will be worth it!!! If i was rich i would pay you to fly over here and blast the whole dam thing in a few days !!! Watching from Belize 🌴🌴🌴🌄

Glad to know there is still reason and common sense down under.

Hay Dave nice job 👍 from madmax Melbourne 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺❤️❤️🤪😎

I'm glad Ben is coming...2.4 meter holes = a good time

Dave, I really like your videos. Hi from St. Louis Missouri, USA !!!

The new mic works really well. Nice video. 👍

Nice. Got er done even without the big drill. Those blowed up real good.

I like the thump😂❤. Cold winter day in Canada is 30 or 40 below zero fareinheit. You are having a heat wave.😂😂😂❤. I am cutting firewood like a mad beaver.😂.

Amfo to spice it up a bit, love it.

thanks for another interesting video Dave.the new mic works very well.

4 K video is so sharp it is amazing. You almost look real! LOL

Looking forward to next week Dave !! another great video cheers. I think we could do with your expertise with our smelter with the buildup in the flues, this crap builds up harder than granite.

Fear not Dave, your summer is on the way, it's getting damn cold up here in Canada!

Great video Dave thanks I think its good to hear another blokes opinion , and love the russel brand quip .

Love the compilation Dave. The last blast showed the work site looking like a WW1 battlefield. After the prolonged winters rain here in Victoriastan I'm fearing for the lives of hundreds if not thousands come the next hot summer spell. Like as happened in Hawaii recently.

This one felt more like a procedural -- very well done and super interesting. Too bad Ben was elsewhere and you had to slug it out with the rock all manual-like. That was some nice looking cover material.

Great sympathy about the forest work! The US is facing some of the same.

new mic and cam are great buddy. hope your doing well. cheers mate

About the Forest Service. A famous American comedian named Groucho Marx said: "The art of politics is: 1. Looking for trouble everywhere. 2 Finding it. 3. Diagnosing the problem incorrectly. and 4. Applying the wrong solutions.

I would love to see a vid of all the equipment and supplies you regularly use. I bet you could do a hundred vids and make bank from youtube on them.

Audio is good Dave!

Mic seems really good Dave - nice to have extra commentary. Seems it'd be pure luck to do trenching with no huge rocks in the way! As usual - large amount of drilling - Nice work. :)

Aww man, really a bummer about the forestry getting shut down. Lot of folks out of work, and price of building stuff is gonna go up a lot. Plus no more awesome uncovered forest-road blasts.

great stuff

Great as always, have you ever thought of a vid where you do a show and tell about the stuff you use?

a nice chin wag dave

..... 1.7°C. Adorable. At least its above 0!

Been awesome seeing all of your work in the video’s over the years Dave! ❤❤❤ My body is shaking so bad I can barely type anymore😅😮😢…wailing on my wife to take me to the the Veterans hospital here in the United States…❤😂😢 C ya

Your microphone works great. 6:25ISH OR SO YOU SAY 30 GRAMS OF ANFO, (AN/FO, for ammonium nitrate/fuel oil), I WAS CURIOUS WHAT'S THE LARGEST ''BLAST'' YOU'VE CREATED? OH, AND HAVE YOU COME ACROSS A ROCK SO HARD THAT YOU COULDN'T DRILL IT?

Can you make a BBBRRRRRRRTTTTT compilation video please

Beginning to think Aussie is full of rocks.

Hi Dave, Your new camera & mic seemed to do just fine! I hope you show the guys digging up the BIG rocks from the expanding goo! Should be good! Great job! Thumbs up. Stay safe! Jim

Dave have you ever had any serious mishaps in your career? Or what would be your most serious or the worst you've witnessed?

Looks like you had a good dry weather week.

New microphone works very well. Really appreciate the commentary. Lot of action in this video huh :) :)?

Is your favorite icecream flavor Rocky road?

i remember when i first started using explosives we were given a jelly substance to use as stemming it came in plastic tubes about 300 mm long it was awful stuff to use stuck to everything

DJI makes mics, huh? I'll have to look at those, they're a professional interest.

Hi from Vancouver Island. Nice looking work. The long holes must have been err long ;). I thought I was going to see you drill a cut at first on the sump but then remembered you were looking at boulders not solid rock. I was wondering how you were going to proceed with that but it was not to be. I saw you lining up the rods so it would have been interesting watching how you would go about lining up you cut. That hook looks like it could use a thumb in the opposing direction. Then they could pick and pick at the same time. Do they do that? I'm sure they know best. Nice video. I like watching you work This is the first time I have seen you connect all the components in that blasting system. The mike seems to work good. Thanks for posting Dave.

Love this audio. Now you’re going to have to watch your farts and burps. Ha ha .👍👍👏🏻👏🏻😊

I still wish that instead of saying "Firing" after the siren, you could say 'Cowabunga, Yahtzee, Show me the money, Geronimo or Banzai' maybe happy independence day, you know something new, fun and exciting

It does make me laugh seeing you hanging of the drill 😅

Your microphone works great.

1st? I was going to ask if they made shorter lenghts of the various cords and then you answered my question. As you say there always seems to be a lot of waste.

Howdy demo Dave hope all is well

You obviously enjoy what you're doing and that's admirable. Out of curiosity though, are there other career fields you find interesting?

6:03 "too much---" I think most of your viewers would say, never too much, fill the hole right to the top.

You scored on the mic 10 - 10 Here on in B.C. Canada. Those green are causing so much trouble. The forest roads are removed. Yes to to point . You can't even walk where the road was. So no chance of fire fighters to get to the fire. The government couldn't find it's ass even if you pointed at it. Stupid goes very deep here.

Antho is just fertilizer and diesel, correct? Is it that much more powerful than the other stuff? Also,you reminded me of an old Chewing tobacco coimmercal, "just a pinch between the cheek an gums"... I don't think they were talking about antho though... :)

Dave, does the government there mandate a license/permit to purchase the ampho and require a log of your usage & inventory?

Why do you put gravel on top of the boom goo in the hole?

Dave, where does all the granite go from all your jobs? the crusher? or does it just get used for fill somewhere else?

👍

Ive been following your channel for the last 4 years. Is there a drill that you prefer, you are able to drill a lot of holes without to much apparent fatigue. I have a couple of old Holman Drills, and a Chicago CP32. The CP32 is by far the fastest machine, but is ferocious to use, especially with short drill steels. The old Holman are much gentler, but take a lot longer. I believe their weight has a lot to bare on how comfortable they are. I drill hard granite, mostly down to about 1.8 metres in central Vic north of Beaufort. I recall you mentioning in a previous video about lowering the air pressure to 90 PSI; is this the secret to using the CP32?

It would be best if governments and industries could provide steady work so companies can stay in business but many companies fold in the lean times and it takes a long time to get enough equipment and workers built up to previous levels when they are needed again.

✋🏼🇦🇺👍🏼

Amazing how much mining and forestry has been interupted in the greens strongholds of ... checks notes - Richmond, Brunswich and Melbourne...

No more forestry jobs ?? Thats bad news.............

Go thr atf

Joined up thinking isn't an attribute seen in any great measure amongst 'greens'...
