now you have 5 more miles of paths too stone ,, looking great .. almost a shame to get the unit dirty and scratched .. what's the next build a road grader to level out all the stone you make ??

[@2010invent]

So why did you built this rock crusher? Is gravel expensive where you are?

[@randytravis3998]

@@2010invent he has a lot of concrete and brick to get rid of .. he said in another video ,, where I live I have lots of rocks . some as big as his unit . would be nice to get gravel / crushed stone form the rock ..

Great way to recycle old concrete You my have to build a shoot or hopper load it up and walk away let it do it’s thing crush rock 👍💯🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘

[@mafr3552]

totally agree

[@ThullensGarage]

Nicely done, You can add a skidplate under it an the use it as an compator to compact the cruched material.

[@tomhewitt8017]

I like the idea of a machine that crushes bricks only to make new bricks

[@Sickofitall-76]

@Thullen’s Garage this machine is a brilliant idea to fabricate out of scrap! Your idea of adding a skid plate to also compact is genius in its own right! Crush the concrete, spread it out, move the machine and let it compact what it just crushed! Well done, my hats off to you both!

[@saidmagomed616]

With the completion of another project !!!! Excellent processing of ♻ old bricks !! What about granite ???

[@johnwhitmore1235]

I was wondering the same thing

[@rurallegendstv]

Granite. Quartz. Something harder. Concrete shatters pretty easy. Im no geologist but id guess it would probably work on granite but it would take a lot longer. Would definitely find out if there's any weak points in it haha

[@whippyboy6272]

Depends on the granite, there's a lot of different types. Quartz would be the real test. I'm a stonemason

[@Mikefestiva]

Awesome work Donn! I think what I like most about your channel and what we have in common is you always build purposely built stuff 👍 No 1000cc turbocharged go karts, you make things you actually have a need for and I always enjoy that. Thanks for taking the time to make another awesome series for us!

[@BarnStangz]

So very true Mike, I think it's way more interesting when people build stuff that actually makes life better / easier for them. Of course turbocharged karts are cool too, lol, but this is wayyyy more appealing to me as well! You guys could do one hell of a collab. Too bad you're like 8,000 miles away from each other...

[@Mikefestiva]

@@BarnStangz Hey it’s good to hear from you! Haha yes to bad Donn and I live so far away, I definitely would like to see some of his projects in person. Take care 👍

[@cmorris8268]

Great job! You could try an "electric clutch" from a riding lawn mower.. would allow you to use whatever rpms you wanted but still be able to engage/disengage at will..

[@danf4616]

Such a master at repurposing and reusing old stuff! 👍

[@kaydog2008]

Should make a second add on box to make a deeper box for more wieght creating more feed in the crusher.

[@thomasohanlon1060]

You sir beat me to it, was thinking the same thing. Would also help in moving the unit to the next fill area not having to move brick and machine.

[@purelife9000]

Surely, the most mechanically-genius man in Estonia!!

[@FJ80Coop]

Maybe a hopper chute added over the opening allowing you to load it with more than 1 or 2 pieces at a time letting the load help to work the bottom bricks or rocks downwards with their weight... Looks and works great !

[@DD-DD-DD]

You could put a little screen/chute underneath to further separate the fines and gravel, helpful in some situations

[@willlothridge3197]

I was thinking he’ll build a screen table and conveyors next

[@Metanoia70x7]

Would it also help if the stroke was a bit bigger? I think you still have some power left.

Really liked watching this build, you're a talented fabricator. It will be interesting to see how well the rebar holds up. If you're going to use it a lot I would invest into some hard facing rod or wire just to help slow the wear down a little bit. Again great job on this build.

[@jamesadams893]

Best site around for videos of welding and fabrication mainly because no talking whilst showing work ,and the sped up video I like cause I'm smart enough to follow what's going on without every little detail explained to me

[@peterencobie]

I have watched every episode with rising attention, simply love it!!! Maybe a nice addition will be some kind of shaking gutter/chute driven by the shaking of the machine wich feeds the material to the jaws. Did you tested it with rocks? I really like to know how it handles this. Greetings from a big fan!!!🇳🇱

[@xrayaiz74]

Damn! Crush those rocks and bricks to dust! What a build culminating in a 100% successful demonstration of assembly, fabrication and design skills coming together for an awesome product. Thanks for sharing the videos in this series from beginning to end. You look like you really enjoy making all these things and that's what it's all about--enjoying what you do. Keep building, designing and fabricating! I learn from every video, so thanks for sharing knowledge which is one of the greatest gifts of all.

[@kameljoe21]

Damn that turned out pretty nice. Now you should add one more video when you upgrade the gearing and then when you finish the pile of concrete and have a nice road put in! What an awesome build.

[@horatiohornblower868]

Congratulations, Donn! This giant coffee grinder is yet another ingenious piece of equipment finished and working perfectly. Keep on amazing is with your skills.

[@budzillasohoski9858]

You’re way too critical of yourself. Anything homemade is gonna have its little issues…it comes with the territory. You did a great job and built a very nice, useable machine. I applaud you. Don’t listen to the people criticizing you on here. If they were so capable and smart they wouldn’t be watching YOU build this thing, THEY’D be building one themselves! Great job!

[@JamesR5D4]

Awesome 👏🏽 What you need now is a conveyor belt to feed the crusher via a hopper 👍🏽

[@janne3006]

Well he has a conveyor belt he built for his wood cutting machine... That he also built

[@NickMcCake]

to reduce the engagement speed of the clutch you can replace the springs inside it for some lighter ones, well done on completing another amazing project. much love from Denmark!

[@markmayer2029]

I always wanted to build one, but bought an old beater/fixer upper. Had to re pour the rabbit bearings, cast new jaw plates, make new toggle, etc. That was a lot of work rehabbing it. A lot of work went into that my man, congradulations!

[@peterc-rogers7848]

Excellent build Donn, You could use the firewood conveyor belt and then put all the gravel into a drum of some kind with a slit on the front face. The idea is that when you want to use it you can use the forklift to drive it around, and open the little slit so the gravel comes out and then you just need to drive the section that you want to be filled with gravel.

[@flatlinesup]

Great job (as usual)! Looks like it works awesome and will be perfect for turning your supply of old concrete and broken blocks into something useful around your farm. Suggestions: Are you going to build an intermediate shaft (jackshaft) to gear it down? Seems least costly to me if you have a couple extra pulleys laying around. I'd also maybe consider a flap at the bottom that is hinged at the front and would allow the gravel to discharge toward the back. It'd still pile up, but be much easier to get to for spreading etc. Could have a simple strap or lever to hold it up when not in use.

[@Henning_S.]

I think a crankshaft with more stroke will greatly improve the crushing speed

[@UncleKennysPlace]

It would take very little extra stroke to bring it to a halt.

[@Henning_S.]

@@UncleKennysPlace it doesn't seem that the engine is struggling. We don't know how much horsepower the crusher really takes. He could check the throttle plate position while crushing, if the governor pulls it already almost wide open, there is no power left. If it is just half open, he has enough horsepower left... And if he changes the pulleys to make the crusher rotate slower, that will increase the torque which will allow more stroke.

Браво! Буду ждать следующие проекты! Удачи!

[@InstrucTube]

You'd get a decent amount of the wobble out if you had some weights on the back left of the trailer, to balance out the engine weight in the front and the flywheel on the right. Also yes, making sure the flywheel is balanced would help too. Also if you want it to crush faster, you need to make a bigger cam lobe on the shaft (or slower gearing, as you mentioned. You could do both and get a pretty good boost to crush speed.) Very nice job!

[@dozer1642]

I’m worried about those interior bolt heads getting worn down to the point where a socket won’t turn them……. But, that’s one bad assed crusher. You are one helluva craftsman !! Salute . 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@Patriot1776]

Same. Those interior bolt heads are going to get majorly, majorly worn. Or are those bolts going to serve as the wear indicators, and you'll just wait for them to get so badly worn that when they break off you'll know its time to replace the wear plates?

[@ВиталийРожнов-г3х]

Боюсь думать об следующей вашей идеи! Наверно плуг!? Или что-то из сельхоз техники! Кстати, это изделие для себя или под заказ?

[@ervin9560]

Eto on zdelal dlja sebja.

[@garymurt9112]

I work in a rock quarry, our jaw crusher has the pully on one side then a flywheel counterweight on the other, thus balances the work load out to prevent pre mature bearing failures. Your jaw plates need to be reverse able for maximum life. They will wear the bottom out first. You also need wear plates on the sides this area wears fairly rapidly. If the stone gravel is dropping directly onto the axle under the crusher it will wear quickly to and will need to be shielded. It looked like the speed was running pretty good, if you run it at to slow a speed then more stress is put on things, its the momentum that keeps things moving.

[@BentTreeFarmPa]

That turned out awesome!! Can't wait to see what you build next.

[@Redneckmfg]

I second that !! What could the next build possibly be??

[@patrickezuma7140]

Aside from the fantastic workmanship on this channel one thing I've always appreciated is the silence. You just work away and don't say anything...there's no shitty music dubbed over the video it's just the actual work and I like that. So many other channels I watch seem to be more about the talking than the project and if you comment telling the shut up and work it's rude. And I also like the color scheme to always pick...black and orange is on point

When I was a kid there was a giant version of this crusher unit at a local junkyard in the scrap machine area. We would walk on it's 6 ft iron flywheel that had 5 giant belt grooves in it. We could get it turning and the crusher plate was about 2x2 and we could throw in and crush rocks once we had it turning at a good clip. Your machine reminded me of it as it's an exact mini version of it.

[@southronjr1570]

Even before you mentioned needing to gear it down I was thinking that using a jack shaft with a small and large pullies between the flywheel and the engine to slow it down would let the rock have time to fall into the crusher better and speed up the process. Curious when your gonna take on building a long tail mud motor from scratch or a surface drive outboard, maybe even one with reverse to use on a small boat to get up into some shallows?

[@1100yrs]

That was awesome. Leave the speed fast for smaller media and slower for large media. Unless your crushing natural rock you can keep the high speed because brick/concrete are glued small aggregate and will break up easily. Wider wheels will make more room too for better piles. Otherwise I want one too!! Best project this year on KZbin!

[@puncherdavis9727]

Hey Don on that handle for the up-and-down leg for your trailer and idea would be to convert that over to an actual wheel or Circle it's a lot easier to turn and you don't have twist your wrist at a funky angle. Also that top-handle bus that off and put a hinge on there so that the handle can lie flat because inevitably anything standing up like that is going to catch on to something. Also you might want to add like a little funnel to the crusher sides you can put in 10 or 12 bricks at a time I don't have to sit there and micromanage it just some ideas

[@akaHarvesteR]

Awesome job Donn! The world is now your Japanese Zen Garden 👍

You did an excellent job designing and constructing your rock crusher, well done! The only critique I have is maybe use a 40-45mm drive pulley and maybe in the future change the wear plates' bolts to class 10.9 socket flat head screws as I think they would be better to remove when changing/maintaining the wear plates. Overall very nice unit, I wish it was mine!

[@jamesward5721]

Considering the proper versions use boron steel for the jaws, yours using rebar is going to wear so fast, relining the jaws is going to be "quite a regular task" - which might get boring. That aspect aside, what a heck of an interesting project. Kudos.
