Make a Waste Oil Foundry

[@GerrysDiy]

This waste oil burner at the moment can produce over 800 degrees C and has no problem melting aluminium. Future upgrade will include refractory lining and some burner mods. Cheers Gerry

[@morrisdw155]

Thanks for listening and responding to our comments regarding the can foundry from one or your earlier videos. This is really good to see. Can't wait to see the upgrades in the future. Going to build one now.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Dean. I need to add some refractory lining to get this to concentrate the heat. At the moment it melts aluminium but I would like to make it more efficient. Thanks for commenting Dean Much appreciated Cheers Gerry👍

@@GerrysDiy Hi Gerry, Did you ever do any more mods to the foundry? I didn't see any new foundry videos.

I'm gonna shut up and subscribe, I love these videos! King of Random eat your heart out!

Very good vid thanks.

[@eoinomaoileidigh6093]

as always... you are a legend. Cheers for all the time / effort you put into your vids.

[@undernetjack]

Preheating the oil by running the copper tube around the burner or tank will increase the viscosity and flow. This makes it either more efficient or hotter, depending on the settings.

Hey do you want some propane tank with that angle grinder!! That things huge!!! Awesome videos

[@hairydolphinrecords7404]

Great stuff Gerry, really enjoyed this episode packed full of info... keep'er lit buddy..Atb Paddy..

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Paddy. Thanks for the taking the time to leave a comment. The flying season is beginning to kick off so I might get a flight this evening. I'll bring a camera or two if it's flyable. Cheers Gerry👍

I did a project with a propane bottle and I found the smell inside the bottle to be sickening and I couldn't get it away with water or degreaser, so I did a bit of research and someone had luck with bleach, so I gave it a shot and it worked perfectly (just enough straight bleach to mix around) I was then able to finish without feeling nauxious! 😰

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Volvo09. Thanks for the tip. That smell is added to the gas to make leaks detectable but it is persistent. Thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Gerry👍

I really wanted to see the aluminum cans melting

[@canadian_wolf8395]

Instead of a propane tank could I use a bucket or even a barrel that’s been cut in half?

brilliant vid as ever Gerry

Hi Hoodie. Thanks for taking the time to comment. I owe you a pint 👍🍻 Cheers Gerry

I was crying with laughter.... thanks to the kids, I have lot of aluminium cars such as coke and beer cans.... 😂😂😂😂 love you video....👍👍👍

[@supernatureza]

Good

[@andrewbabrowicz4526]

will this melt iron?

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Andrew. Easily gets to 800 degrees C but you would need 1200 degrees to melt iron. Hope this helps Cheers Gerry☝

[@woody1766]

I see you had to extend your copper oil drip feed pipe I did notice the flame was close to the oil in the drip feed pipe when it was above

[@GerrysDiy]

Well spotted Darren. There were a couple of reason for this. I was using the drip feed system from my boiler stove project which is why everything was close in the first place. When I re-piped it I made an injector tee so I could pressurise the feed into the burner while putting negative pressure on the drip view port. You can see the airline behind me at the end of the video. I will cover it in another video. You deserve a beer🍺 for that.😜 Thanks for taking the time to comment Cheers Gerry

@@GerrysDiy...thanks for the reply gerry I stopped drinking 14 years ago I was drinking to much Guinness so I knocked it all on the head so you can have my beer lol. I'm going to give this gas bottle thing a try but I will try and make a log fire out of it for my workshop its only 10 foot by 9 foot so I will only need something small but I will look at making a oil burner like yours as well because the world is in a bad way at the moment and any country could suffer the grid being taken out. cheers gerry

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Darren. We'll have to give that beer away I don't drink either. These little propane tanks / bottles are very durable and you would get years out of one as a wood burning stove. I know you could just buy one but it's nice to build something yourself. Well done and thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍

[@BrandonSmith-xo2jh]

I applaud his concern for safety, but as an American I couldn't help but to think that to ensure the tank was gas-free, I would have just taken it out back and used the valve for target practice.

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Brandon. Guns aren't a plentiful here but that sounds great 😀 Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍

[@billb7876]

Its called "Danger of Gas Cylinders 😨 We will show you their power" its brilliant how they deal with gas bottles, I don't think it would be good for Jerry to do it this way though lol

[@Orlena2525]

U.s. propane tanks should be reverse threaded. Thank you for the video.

[@GerrysDiy]

Thanks for the heads up. Cheers Gerry👍

[@garybrown5500]

@@GerrysDiy Looked like tank was a Butane tank (blue painted) they generally would have conventional thread fittings. Great videos thanks.

[@martinbenton742]

A new garage heater??? Are you holding out on that story Gerry, or am I that far behind in my videos?? Cheers my friend. MB BAR RANCH

[@GerrysDiy]

Hi Martin. It's a project I started and will get back to soon. Makes a ton of hot water that I have use for. Needs to be hooked up so I can fire it up or it will boil the water in the propane tank, Thanks for commenting Martin Cheers Gerry

[@martinbenton742]

Where's the foundry, I see you building a furnace so when ya gonna build the foundry

[@stanleydenning]

Gerry. I like your videos. What brought me to your channel was the homemade PPG trike. The oil burners are a plus. I could use one for my cold workshop. But, I have one small complaint. You repeat yourself too much. Other than that... Your an awesome dude. Peace.

Hi Stanley. I hope to be flying a paramotor this evening if the weather holds. As with anything there is always room for improvement, as with anything there is always room for improvement 😀 Thanks for commenting Cheers Gerry👍
