I Made A Wood Chipper From Scratch

[@rickswanberg4995]

Nice build, here are two suggestions. 1. Weld a substantial piece of steel at the bottom of the chute inside of the drum with close clearance to the blades. 2. Weld a backer bar behind the blades so that the bolts only have to hold the blades in place. The bar will absorb the impact of the blades contacting the wood.

The feeder shute should be longer than your arm, for obvious reasons.

[@waterboy8999]

His arm will be shortened to fit soon.

[@andrewsackville-west1609]

Self-adjusting arms

[@leeroychang]

Nah, just don't put your arm in it.

[@ghostreconslovessnow]

It'll self clearance

[@rolfnilsen6385]

There is a trick for the feeding. If the knives are angled upwards there will be clearance of the edge when cutting and this makes it easier for the cutter to "pull" the branches in by itself. If the knives are mounted flat there will only be gravity feeding the branches. Of course this "trick" only goes so far. Hence the hydraulic systems for feeding. Although I have seen purely mechanical infeeds as well. (And I do love your work. A new video from Make it Extreme is happy hour for me)

This^

[@trevelynbrown4444]

The short feed chute . Make it easier . To accidentally stick your hand into the blades .

Wood chipper 2024!

[@AK33harr]

That's awesome. I built one from scratch as well a few years ago. Mine is pto driven and attaches to my tractor.

[@homemadetools]

Good work as always. We shared this video on our homemade tool forum last week 😎

[@beadowarrior]

Great project as usual. Watching the guy pushing some of those branches in though, made me think their next project will be an extreme prosthetic limb! I'd still watch it tho...

[@firstmkb]

Nice job - works much better than I would have guessed, so you did your research. I am not a safety hawk, but I really think the input chute should longer than your arms will stretch. Because they will if it gets ahold of you. Maybe it just looks scary on camera.

[@mstargate12]

Heavy duty goodness. Well done.

[@jasondk5127]

Thats really cool! 😊

[@jbproduction8703]

your work is exceptional, with incredible qualities! I'm a fan! I would really like you to make a small copper crusher to make 💸 😁😁 the principle is with 3 knives rotating on an axis and two counter knives which cut the copper into small pieces. Then he drills a 3mm grid once the diameter is correct. Then the copper falls below on a canvas mat fixed on a wooden base which is on the vibrating metal support! the plate is slightly tiltable and underneath there is a blower which blows the crushed materials. Lighter sheaths go one way and heavier copper goes the other way. the blower, two small vibrating motors, and a 3kw main motor driven by belts speed 700t/m I think that with a video like this it would get millions of views, a lot of people love the field of recycling. 💪💪💪💪 in any case bravooo 🙏💪💪

[@simonburri8178]

Super gut 👍💪🔧🔩

[@db0nn3r]

These builds are incredible. Can you make a “mud mixer” knockoff next?

[@leeroychang]

The little copper push block is super cute. Needs a little face on it...

[@villageblunder4787]

Motoe got a sneaky upgrade

[@vinceianni4026]

Good job mister beautifully done

[@MadMaxWiseEx]

2:15 Выбирать два паза расточной головкой? 😮 Довольно странный подход.

[@cobuscloete3784]

WOW!! Good build

[@MakeitExtremeShorts]

Thank you!

[@whocares6698]

But what is the cost comparison between all of that and buying a wood chipper?

[@phil9764]

Yes! it definitely seems Extreme. =).

[@jimsvideos7201]

It works!

[@bravomz]

how you choose to weld tig or mig ?

[@MineStrongth]

Why did you tig the heavy welds?

[@johnkelly7264]

As a noob welder, I was trying to understand why you chose different welding types when you did, MIG/TIG. I couldn't figure it out, and would be super grateful if you could explain. Also, the first branches looked like olive.. (if they're not, you can tell I'm a complete noob at botany (or whatever the word is) as well, however it gave me an idea... What about a olive oil press as a project? Really admire the quality of your work.

[@mxadema]

No reason in particular, from what I see, he may have a flux core welder. It a bit dirty and harder on thin stuff. The flywheel he tig for better control, you got time to see if it a good weld. It one of those whatever machine is closer, and tig make nice video.

[@leeroychang]

Could we see some more of the orange cat please?

[@matthewdeklerk3457]

Next time you can save 2 hours of build time and get the same result by not having a feedchute at all, just open blades you can fall into. Theres a reason the chute is longer than an arm, lmao

[@dalegosnell2511]

You seen to to do alot more tig than mig I was wondering why

[@neodimium]

Arm remover 3000

[@BLenz-114]

Everybody gotta have a hobby. 🤷‍♂️

[@bonkeleerspatrick4108]

Correct 💯 job and not only extreme it's heavy duty build and thanks again for the educational video

[@Pest789]

Why is this 16 minute video on the shorts channel and not the main channel?

[@antosujarwo5015]

Kayaknya video lama yg diupload ulang

[@leeroychang]

Subbed.

[@В.В.Д]

Мне стало , почему-то , страшно 😨. Поаккуратнее пожалуйста!!! 👍👍👍

[@Zortorond]

Моторчик слабоват. -На такой диаметр диска напрашивается бензинка лошадей на 7-10. Электричеством такое крутить уже не каждая сеть выдержит. Впрочем тогда уже и вал станет слабым местом и болты крепления лезвий. Вообще это пожалуй главный недостаток - слишком широкие лезвия и слишком большой рычаг получается, будет вытягивать довольно быстро, а потом просто оторвет. Еще и щепки набивающиеся между диском и лезвиями будут способствовать отрыву. Не нужно недооценивать древесину;))

[@lutheduck]

Reupload? Or you got hacked again??

[@markhicks8377]

dude get rid of that long sleeve shirt before it gets hung up😮‍💨
