Wood Fueled Furnace -PT1-

[@DerekWoolverton]

While a wood fired foundry does sound cool, electricity is so cheap here that it basically costs me a nickel to run my electric furnace and melt aluminum. Supposedly can do copper and bronze and all that too, but I'm mostly into melting down heating trays and curtain rods. Still, good melting, however you can do it.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Hi Derek You have won the Arccaptain welder if you want it?

[@DerekWoolverton]

@@LittleAussieRockets Wow, super awesome. Now no excuse not to level up.

[@peterwalsh5489]

😊

[@PJK-s5c]

Keep on going! I really like your humor and the way you integrate family, food, chicken,.. into your videos. Very down to earth! 100k are coming..

[@dropshot1967]

Just keep people wowed with your craftmanship and the 100K will be a breeze.

[@IWatchedWhat]

That pulse really makes the welds look great.

[@jaymzgaetz2006]

Excellent tips for tig. I was a certified sheet metal fabricator years ago. Never liked cranking out parts in an ugly, loud, cold factory, but I've been thinking of welding for my own projects. I was taught to tig by carefully, steadily wiggling the rod through my fingers, but I have to admit I've never seen anyone else do it that way. Welding jobs offered half a McDonald's wage, so I moved on to work for more humane wages.well done

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Yes, it is similar here in Australia, production welding jobs can be a bit of a grind.

[@survivalboy9597]

Keep the great work going sir 😊👍

[@itsamindgame9198]

I was surprised at the lack of ring in the anvil - I didn't think tight chains would dampen it to that extent. A "hand forged" anvil is pretty special. Congratulations on your wise choice of extended relatives. I have my father-in-law's old hand blacksmithed bale hook - I currently have no use for it, but it is a one of a kind thing of beauty (1 handle between 2 hooks)

[@arccaptain-weld]

Stephen's video is still as great as ever! I'm really happy to see you using Arccaptain‘s’ welder to make such a great stove, the welds are so beautiful! The pulse so great! Looking forward to seeing the final product! If you guys have any suggestions, I'm here, ready to listen and assist.

[@marcovolwater768]

Greetings from Europe (the Netherlands)! I love the way you build your rocket stoves! They are a very big inspiration for my own projects.👍😀

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Thank you very much😊

[@zedchannel]

I built a propane furnace a few years back, done over 300 melts and still going strong. Looking forward to seeing how the wood powered one goes. Well done on 60,000 subs, well deserved. The videos are approaching the flawless quality of those welds.

[@brettrobertson7373]

Blessed by the algorithm - really glad to have discovered you. Great blend of engineering and shedgineering. Look forward to being here at 100k

[@NathanNostaw]

Of all the motors I collect for my machines, I never considered how handy the HD pedestal fan head could be.

[@Binkophile]

16:56 gave me flashbacks. I spent years working out in the desert, and I had to do more than a few things at night, because some ringer had broken something we needed next morning. You'd be almost finished a perfect weld and ZAP! A moth (or its combusted remains) were now embedded in the weld. That smell never leaves you

[@ShinyPeeko]

Those welds are beautiful. Looking forward to the full build. Running many fuels does come with complications

[@Jemalie87]

I have made a couple rocket stoves with my kids over the years inspired by your videos, only ever with a stick welder. i would love to learn tig welding one day. Congrats on the 60K and keep up the good work.

[@fletchercho6514]

Its always great to watch you weld and I always pick up a little tip or technique that always helps. I've been following you for a few years and honestly love your content. I also make the same comment when working with wood 😂 keep it up and 100K will come in no time!

[@nikolasdemetriou9922]

Congrats on 60k! LOVE the chill vibe of your videos and the fact that you explain how stuff works. Keep it up!

[@barthanes1]

I watch several hobby welders on KZbin, and it's nice to see welds that don't need the grinder.

[@sarachucks]

Keep doing what you’ve always been doing. Making great content, from bloopers to wowing us. That’s what makes your videos awesome and I look forward to seeing many more.😊

[@timtoombs5010]

Awesome work getting that 60k mate. I'm excited for the future, for you and your channel. Onward to 100k!

[@garronfarrell6618]

Hello Steve, thanks for another great video, I loved the TIG welding and how pulse makes such an amazing difference to the finish. I would love to have a fully adajusable TIG welder to try out those great functions.

[@dougsayer-jones3988]

Awesome job, I have been thinking about the whole rocket powered forge idea, can't wait for part 2

[@Raptorau]

Congratulations on making it to 60k, and thank you for all the wonderful videos. Keen to see what's next!

[@noimagination99]

Very nice work, and those welds! I need to go practice. Great tip on the 'MIG-TIG' weld. I wish you told us the pulse parameters you're using too. Thanks for the enjoyable video!

[@catgynt9148]

Amazing skills and educational format. I will leave the give-a-way opportunity to others. Thanks Steve. Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace brother.

[@doctor2bob]

Thanks for being such a patient teacher, your tips have made me a better welder.

[@hamishlittle]

The candle lit, Barry White style footage was flippin hilarious!!! Love your work mate!!

[@-vermin-]

A well deserved milestone. If only all KZbin was this entertaining and informative. 👍

[@FakeBob80]

I love the little tips that are inserted into the videos. Really helps me figure out what I’m doing wrong!

[@andrewward4218]

Another entertaining and instructional video, as always. The scenic rim is a breeding ground for ingenuity.

[@boggiesworld990]

Followed you for a while now getting better every video, I did same with my anvil never better. Really jealous of your welding table keep them coming.

[@CPaulCounts]

I really like the increased intimacy of your videos lately. Keep up the good work!

[@benson0408]

Another nice video with your beautiful work and comments, I enjoy watching it. greetings from Belgium 👍🏻

[@RJ-fs3mj]

I'm enjoying the channel especially on your stoves and the skills you have. Look forward to you building a bigger shop... Maybe....

[@glennharvey5782]

I'm just starting out in my journey into MIG welding and your craftsmanship is extremely inspiring. Keep the vids and welding tips coming, not to mention the new projects 👍

[@rbouakaz]

Thank you for showing tips and tricks and your wonderful craftsmanship! 🙏🙏👍

[@williammaxwell1919]

your explanation of "why use an electric motor" makes sense and demonstrates yet again that you consider a problem /solution in detail before commencing a build.

[@soothcoder]

Wow! I am a home-shop welder and make cradles and bits for my dinghy sailing club. Wish I could get my welds that neat! Will try pulse - that looks awesome!

[@tomdaichendt9013]

Thumbs up on your skill(s) and patients in creating the videos. On to part 2

[@mattswadling4572]

Congrats on the 50k subs. Still rockin my compact stove from a few years ago and loving it.

[@mick.Walker]

Congratulations on 60k, thanks for the welding tips, love your work 👍

[@daos3300]

love the welding tips. also self-taught, literally the first thing i forced myself to do was to not lift off too soon. makes a huge difference. also my cheap welder has no pulse function, have to do it manually. not as bad as it sounds.

[@Enigma-Sapiens]

Great video & build! That's a nice looking bead you're laying down too!

[@shadowfox929]

That welder seems to be a really nice machine. The tip on lay wire technique will come in handy. I tried it before but now I know what to do to make it work. Thanks.

[@chrischerry2787]

I am a novice welder & maker (I use scrap steel when I can get it, to keep the costs down) and love your videos. They've inspired me to try a couple of rocket stove builds, with some success. I very much enjoy the building process. I'd love to learn TIG as it would open up so many more 'making' possibilities for me. I shall keep all of my appendages crossed & hope that I can win my very own TIG!! 😊😊

[@giuls2]

Excellent craftsmanship mate!

[@DCJones06]

Have started on a waste oil furnace. Sourced the supplies and was about to start the build when this video came along. Now I'm going to put it off till I see your final product, cause no doubt I will get a little gem of an idea on the construction from you. Love the videos... cheers mate.

[@jimjackofall1510]

You’re a talented fabricator and I’ve gotten sooo many ideas from your builds

[@mrcogginsgarage7062]

Congratulations on getting to 60k and for all the great ideas along the way could use a new welder !.

As usual another great video, dont change your style. I had to laugh with the candles and sensual music.

[@stevepratley]

Nice work mate. I only have a DC TIG at home but a pulse would open up a whole new world of possibility!

Another quality build. Congrats on 60,000. I'm a tad envious of that Rolls Royce rocket taking shape. My builds have been from more garden variety RHS and tubular steel. ArcCaptain would help me up my game to stainless builds - fingers crossed.

[@LittleAussieRockets]

Hi mate, whereabouts are you located as the random selectorer has selected you to win the arc captain welder 😄

[@LittleAussieRockets]

I just need to know so that I don't allocate two people from the same country. There needs to be an international winner and an Australian winner 🏆
