Replace broken Firebrick in Wood Stove

NOTE: THE BLADE I BOUGHT SEPARATED FROM THE HUB. Hence, the suck. So, here you have it.
The firebrick was broken in pieces. Time to replace with new! I had to cut some down to size. We go through a cheap then good blade for that.

[@daveengstrom9250]

You work like the guy my shop teacher warned me about.

[@georgehynes9890]

The worst of many worst-est parts was fiddling with the saw blade, trying to tighten it, while the saw was still plugged in. Holy smoly. Glad you survived.

[@michaeldenapoli7798]

Omg! I thought I was an amateur...that's why I started watching this but my safety concerns make me feel like a professional. A few precautions and a jig of some sorts would have saved you a lot of headache...or a leg.

[@j-sincopeytargetsmasher3781]

The anxiety I got while high asf! Watching you use a power tool is absolutely frightening!!

[@glaight6362]

great demo on how not !!! to cut a fire brick!!!

[@richardcranium1136]

I put a 10" concrete blade in my table saw. Used a fence, and spray bottle of water. Perfect every time.

[@jasonbroom7147]

On the plus side...at least now I know how NOT to safely cut firebrick! :O

[@randyjones4044]

This dude makes the Three Stooges look like professionals.

[@timbrandt11]

George, you're a great sport for putting up with all the "constructive criticism." Thanks for the video. I now know that cutting firebricks with a circular saw (or an angle grinder cut-off wheel) can be done without shattering them. Gotta admit though.... these comments had me laughin pretty hard. Thanks for the video.

[@geo_walters]

It might be the wrong way but it worked

[@viewthoughmyeyes]

Getting it done.. Your video gives me a lot more confidence to post the 100s I've made buy haven't posted for multiple reasons... bad angles, lighting, foul language, other bone head remarks, etc.. Anyway Thank you! Keep doing you! But please be a little more care for future projects...c- clamps and hand spring grips and a lot cheaper the cost of your new blade and the hospital visit... go to Harbor Freight for those items! Under $10 for some and under $20 for most of the rest.... I literally have over 60 different kinds of clamps or hold downs when using my power tools.... I still have and plan on keeping all the digits God gave me. Good luck!

[@richardwagner5637]

Hi George, We have the same osburn woodstove, saw a video on KZbin if you soak the brinks untill the air comes out you can cut with a miter saw use a regular blade just make sure you "USE ONLY A BLUNT BLADE" thank you so much!!!

[@geo_walters]

Thanks for the tip!

[@markariza309]

One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. 👏👏

[@tonybologna123]

i've had enough internet for one day....worst 22 minutes of my life ...... you sir should not be around tools or aloud to put videos up!

[@jimbo3115]

He is a Fkin coledge Idiot!

[@daniellesdilly]

The only safe part of this video is the caution tape laying on the ice

[@slikkarl]

Reminds me of my high school woodshop teacher.... The one missing an arm.

[@darrellsaturnbigfoot]

“A” for effort. Thanks for the chuckles 🤭

[@purduephotog]

Lopi Freedom Bay? I should have cut spare 'smalls' the first time I re-bricked it. My biggest issue is the T bar degrading over time. Wish I knew a way to help prevent it.

[@bobmiller9509]

Please remove this video. Unsafe, not helpful!

[@raymondjean1195]

The use of C-clamps would facilitate the brick cutting task. My way of doing it. A whole lot easier that way to do straight line.

[@harryjnr2335]

omg you are dangerous man

[@bigedd91]

you need to return evey power tool you got before you get killed.

[@marciereedy604]

Thank you George. I learned how to do this. Sorry for all the mean spirited people who only saw the negative.

[@geo_walters]

Thanks for the feedback! I know there's good in sharing this!

[@eugenehughes530]

For the love of GAAAWD man. Do not reproduce ! Put down the power tool. Step away from the tools buddy.

[@bruceshearer1719]

Thank you,Sir🇨🇦

[@tomtresco2952]

LOVE the way he actually says ( 19.34 ) `yeah pretty good` and means it hahahahaha

[@bradvietje802]

Clearly, the "friction" blade has the wrong size hole for the saw arbor. That "washer thingy" can be reversed to supply the correct sized bushing, no?

[@brandontarr5418]

OMG, ha ha ha One of the best videos on the tubes! "Got the right technique" ha ha ha

[@tomtresco2952]

Unbelievably DANGEROUS, how he still has fingers is a mystery

[@mrheavywater]

I thought they were easy to cut with an old wood saw?

[@MrMcgooOG]

Do you still have your fingers or toes

[@bigal-ox9jw]

OMG...YOUR BLADE WAS NOT TIGHT..THAT WHY IT FAILED...AND YOU ARE USING TWO DIFFERENT TYPES OF BRICKS..LOW DENSITY AND HIGH DENSITY.

[@joannlucero1543]

It's informative

[@peterstephenson9705]

You fellas much like the cowboy movies.

[@rosssmith2765]

Great job, nicely done

[@litebread100]

suprised he didnt just hold the brick in hand while cutting

[@tomlalonde1249]

I am laughing so hard right now 😂😂😂😂😂

[@raymaes823]

Your safety is less than par. Try using sawhorse before you loose a foot or hand

[@peterevans5666]

There is something wrong with this fella!!! Video should be pulled. Someone’s gonna get hurt. I can’t believe he actually posted it!!!

[@rightwinggunslinger1]

Do you have videos of using an engine lathe or a hi-lift jack? Maybe electrical repairs or handling gas cylinders? Trying to teach my kids how to be safe with tools. Lol. Good try mister.

[@JohnHenry2420]

Concrete blade on the circular works well ...no problemo..../

[@1coldaxe]

Oh my God this video is from 2015 and I'm so afraid for this guy watching this video he's gonna cut off his fingers and toes and be screaming for his wife to call 911 next time leave power tools tell your wife you're not going to take her out for dinner for a while and hire professional ,scary

[@xamountkillsit96]

how are you alive !

[@geo_walters]

I grew up before safety was a concern.

[@pyromaniac354]

Even Pablo Escobar could cut a brick better even with a blindfold on

[@litebread100]

no not the way to go

[@iandouglas4992]

Wtf are you doing with the circular saw. The foot should always be against the work.

[@bobbyweldon736]

I CAN'T STAND ANYMORE OF THIS MAN. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIM WITH A NAIL GUN. LOL

[@tomtresco2952]

Kenny Everret

[@Dreemwever]

This guy scares me.....

[@cambodianrefugee6305]

"Not brilliant"

[@bradbesco6595]

PLEASE stop using power tools you are an existential threat to yourself. Seriously.
