Shop HEATER from old OVEN custom build

This thing rocks at pumping out heat.
Stuff I used in the video:
Infrared Phone adapter Android: amzn.to/47AhPve
Infrared Phone adapter Iphone: amzn.to/48tunpN
Hypertherm 30xp plasma cutter: amzn.to/36pPsne
Miller Multimatic 220 AC/DC Tig Mig welder: amzn.to/3mukQqe
VIDEOS I mention in this video
Electric Dryer Heater: • garage HEATER from old...
Gas Dryer Heater: • garage HEATER from old...
Vice Grips DEEP Jaws build: • Making locking C clamp...
COST TO RUN: $0.86 per hour(11.5cents kwh at 7500watts)
After Thoughts about the Video: I really don't intend anyone to build this. It's just functional art for me. Full throttle and this thing pulls 7500 watts( 25,575 BTU) which is a fair amount but needed if you wanted to use this outside while you're working working. There are no safety controls but after thinking I do plan on installing a buzzer. It will be a simple thermal switch(NTE thermal disc style) located in the top next to the control panel. If it overheats to lets say 160F it'll loudly buzz until it is unplugged and or cools down. This would really only happen if the fan stopped working. I hope you guys enjoyed watching me make this as I had a blast... Build time: 10-12hrs

How are you going to cook your food?

[@gags730]

Elements vary greatly by model...even if they are the same size they vary somewhat. 8 Inch Surface elements pull about 1800 to around 2400 Watts each depending on the burners from what I can remember. A Bake element in an oven is normally around 2400- 2500 Watts and the Broil element is around 3400 Watts. The bake and broil elements also vary. We always called those types of burners 'Calrod' burners or Calrod heaters it was the premium trade name that was patented kind of like Kleenex for tissues but I can't tell you what mfg made the name 'Calrod' ...sorry

[@markritchiejr4068]

I likes it. I want one

[@phillipdalton7922]

Have you thought about saleing it?

[@waltschannel7465]

You are an awesome fabricator, and you figure out how stuff works to make what you want. Looks like a period piece. I can just see the ads for this shop heater in the January 1970 Popular Mechanics. LOL! Love it!

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks

[@jamesa8851]

Yeah has fallout vibes.

[@rustycrustymakesstuff6528]

That’s awesome! I work for GE. That GE emblem has a name. They call it the meatball. Every once in a while we can find stickers around the plant. If I come across some I’ll get in touch and send them to you if you like.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Meatball; I had no idea. What a catchy name. Part of the fun of doing these projects to learning little odd facts like this. Vintage stickers would be neat.

[@s123fro]

I want one too! Haha

[@williamzoom]

60 years old & still works & this new junk might last 10 years if you're lucky!

[@hylofarm]

And a maintained cookstove will last generations.

[@turkeyssr]

I came here to say that. This stove is a few years older than me and still works. Oh, and there's no planned obsolescence is there?

[@stevemccauley5734]

You’re not wrong. I use a 1958 Caloric gas oven that has been passed down through 3 generations in my family. It still works like new. It is SO heavy compared to any newer ovens. And I’m pretty sure it’s gonna outlast me.

[@Wrecked3]

Survivorship bias

[@MrGordy61]

Two years ago I went to a farm auction. Out in the lawn lineup was a chest freezer, the logo read "International Harvester", and the data tag on the back read "Manufacture Date 1948" I forget the month. They had it plugged in and running like a champ😲

[@fraydnot]

I think you just created a giant air fryer, lol. You are going to drive someone nuts in the future trying to look up parts. Thanks for the upload

[@D2O2]

They may find the parts, just arranged differently.

[@fraydnot]

True, however when they see the breakdown of a stove and they have a tubular heater, they'll be scratching their head@@D2O2

[@D2O2]

@@fraydnot True, if such a breakdown even exists today, or in the future. This think likely won't ever break. It has lasted this long.

[@chox2001]

Now that’s an awesome build and looks factory built. Funny thing I was just looking at your dryer heater build a day or so ago. Never fail to impress me thank you.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thanks!

[@lambodp]

Awesome build! You never cease to amaze with your creative projects. Never thought I'd see a heater made from a stove like this. Keep the projects coming!

[@drylandman]

Love your builds the most amazing thing is that you had a vintage can of Appliance Avocado Green on the shelf. That's grandpa level hobbyist stuff there.

[@mrhalfstep]

What a project! One thing that might interest you is that those Calrods (burners) list for about $125 each on some vintage appliance parts sites. I can tell from your serial number that the stove was made in our plant in October of 1966, about 8 years before I started working there. If you can find a cabinet mounted dishwasher from that early era they will have three or four painted steel sheets hidden behind the door panel. It was so you could change from Brown, Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, or White as you bought new appliances or changed flooring or cabinet colors. They're heavy gauge and over 2 1/2 feet square. GE hired a company for a couple mil to "modernize" their logo. The logo that you and your doggy drew had been around since Edison founded the company. Look at a recent logo and see if you can spot the change that cost millions to "redesign". You do great work. I should warn you that those Calrods should not be allowed to glow red for any real length of time. They are simply a thin nichrome wire centered in a tube with powdered porcelain glass packed around it as an insulator. The stove came with a warning about making sure that your pan covers the burner so its heat is drawn off by the cookware and food inside it and doesn't sit there glowing and burning out. Don't want to give you any crazy ideas, but that self cleaning feature will heat the inside of the oven to 880 degrees F. Think you could do anything with that???

[@chadmccolm6544]

Stuff was built to last unlike the stove of today. Cool video 😊

[@gutsngorrrr]

It did seem a little sad to see this old workhorse, thats lasted 60 years get ripped appart, but, that heater looked fantastic, i love that retro look. You could also use the oven part of it for doing powder coating.

[@sixtyfiveford]

It'll live on way longer now. The guy I got it from had it for free for 6 months and never got a single call.

[@McIntosh.R]

These are the sorts of videos I come to youtube for!! Great video brother!!

[@philliprickman1394]

Great project! That looks like something my dad would have done. I grew up in his shop working on appliances. That old GE brings back memories. I've worked on tons of them.

[@Sylvan_dB]

I showed my wife when you were starting to form the side panel into a tube. "Does he have a wife to ask if he is going to blow up the place?" Then when you showed the finished unit, "wow, now it doesn't look like it is going to blow up." Impressive work!

[@TheGbab]

Good job! The cool thing about electric heat is that you get out what you put in. Electric heat is almost %100 efficient. Of course you gotta buy the juice. Back when they banned incandessent light bulbs nobody mentioned that in addition to lighting the house, a 100 Watt bulb also puts out EXACTLY 100 Watts of HEAT! A well unsulated room with 2 100 Watt old school bulbs is dry and comfy. LED bulbs not so much..

[@russellanderson746]

Another great build and video!! The only difference between junk and something awesome is imagination and skill. You've got those two things covered...in spades doode!!!!

[@brianriggin4560]

Ahh, the colors of the 60s and 70s. Pea green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, almond white. Great build.

[@skip7243]

Look around. I think those colors are coming back!!

[@TheRockeye007]

i worked on appliances for over 35 years. you are a man after my own heart! never throw any thing away! i am sure i have a brand new switch for that burner!

[@gags730]

Appliance guy here too... 30+ years. I have only seen about 3 or 4 of those models in my life and this video is one of them. I even did installs and have only seen that many. They were not that popular where I live as almost everything is Gas.

[@specialks1953]

I know you will save the wire but that is amazing wire. I worked for 35 years in the appliance repair field. Those wires will withstand amazing heat abuse forever almost. If the wire terminations are bad they will burn off but if the terminations are Good then the wire holds up amazingly. Good videos.

[@trapps75]

Born with a gift and talent to do these things

[@willlothridge3197]

Really like all the details of the original stove you incorporated

[@Gabbrrys]

Your creative craftmanship is amazing !

[@allentrench]

That is way too cool. You do have a very creative mind.

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you very much!

[@jason0870]

Your approach to show people they can use general common sense at the end of the vid is appreciated. I'd guess we are close in age range, and times were better/different when we were growing up IMHO at least.

[@DutchmanAlowishus]

Coolest thing I’ve seen remade. And as a sign guy, the hand lettering was the icing on the cake!👍🇺🇸

[@rmretherford]

What a throwback, that is AWESOME! Great job!

[@HFG]

That's pretty sweet. I might be the only person who still likes that vintage Avocado color. It's the hallmark of that era. I don't think anything comes with a schematic anymore. 👍🏼

[@jasondk5127]

When I turned my 1949 GE refrigerator into a smoker I did the same with the switches, badges and pcs and parts. This is a really cool build! 😊

[@Ken-RicSki]

That turned out awesome!, it seemingly has unmatched functionality as far as electric space heaters go and it’s some kind of art at the same time!

[@fizzwidgy]

This dudes got like Ben Heck energy. It's awesome. Super cool project.

[@johnanthony2545]

Outstanding job bud. 40 yr retired sheet metal worker here and you have my stamp of approval !

Thanks.

That looks fantastic, i always wish i could do something when i see an old retro appliance by the side of the road, this is very satisfying

Glad you liked it!!

I think you can make anything out of most people's junk. Thanks for another entertaining video!

[@logangurule5399]

I had one of those in my 70's single wide mobile home when I first moved in! It was gas and not electric but looked the same. Don't think it was up to safety specs but it lasted long enough!

[@stevegordon5243]

That's an awesome build! Great way to repurpose an old stove

I have actually used old stove panels to repair my valiant charger when I was a young guy. 😂 Love the heater btw. Dope as bro.

Thanks Man.

What an art piece and functional! Looks great.

[@markellii3093]

This is the level of creation i may never reach, but you have mastered. The build is beautiful.

[@camden7488]

[@Colton1776]

You have such a great imagination and the skills to go with it. Sick build brother!!

[@mr1pearl]

GE wishes they made something this cool 😎 especially with Gingers seal of approval !

[@48shams]

In a pinch you can stand it upright and use it as a hot plate...nicely done, sir.

[@davidwilson4190]

Completely awesome! The average oven with the heating element and all the stove top burners going draws 38 amps. 50 amp circuit at 80% load is about 38 amps. Your average Tesla level two home charger draws the same amount of power. This sure beats the smell of those nasty salamander kerosene heaters on a job site! Nice build!

[@jasonent8244]

Honestly, that is a really cool looking product. I want one for my garage.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Hey, Moe! I got a free oil-filled electric space heater recently and I really like it better than the small electric heaters with fans I’ve been using. I did some research into issues with these and it’s almost always an easy electrical problem, plus parts are dirt cheap, interchangeable and available. It looks like a lot of people toss them instead of repairing, so I imagine you could find plenty to work on and try out. I’ve asked on Freecycle here on Cape Cod but no offers yet, so this morning I put a request into the weekly eList I send out to my baking business customers. Little by little I’m decreasing my fuel oil bill.

[@UtoniumJock]

That heater is awesome great job love the retro look!

[@wyattlewis9250]

I work in a 60’s era power plant and the older equipment just has a different craftsmanship than a lot of the newer equipment. Basic routine maintenance and it’ll run forever. Cool to see this old GE getting repurposed!

Omg that is the stove I grew up with, and I’m pretty sure my mom was cooking on that thing into the 1990’s. We had the matching side-by-side freezer/fridge too.

[@trashpandapi9905]

You sir are a man of creation! I love how you've given the old beauty a new use. Looks better there than the dump. You and your furry partner in crime have earned a subscription. I hated the hideous green range fridge and hood at my house as a kid,now they look good, my grandmother had brown range fridge and hood, those still look terrible.

[@Superduty_59]

That old stove was almost too awesome to cut up! Loved this build! You are very talented!

[@robertbragg9364]

That's absolutely amazing 👏🏽 🎉 The old dryer heater was great, but this is by far a lot cooler. The chrome side pieces made it look like it was built in the 50s or 60s. I love making things and fixing things, but you've taken it to the next level!

[@oneluckydaddy100]

Pretty nice. Especially its good to use in low ventilation places

[@gags730]

Avacado Green! As an Appliance Tech I worked on many of those old electric ovens Those GE/Hotpoint push buttons were not really common in my area as this is probably the 4th time I have seen this model in 30+ years. You could do a job like this even easier with a 220V dryer. Certain Models have an actual heater box and you also get a motor and blower wheel plus a mechanical timer that is really easy to wire up to make a heater like this.

[@racer67]

Dude I gotta say that was such a great idea, it's the same color as my 67 Impala.

[@randycruz8639]

This is probably top 10 of the most ingenuity I’ve seen on KZbin

[@Tubeagrutis]

Genius!!! That is one awesome build, brother!!! I continue to be amazed at your creativity and skill. Very inspiring!

[@sixtyfiveford]

I appreciate that!

[@orangetruckman]

This type of ingenuity has been leaving society for so long, it’s refreshing to see it again. Great job 👍🏻

[@sixtyfiveford]

Thank you very much!

[@veepsgarage]

That’s badass that you were able to make that. Just like you said one day someone will be looking for info on it and going crazy looking for an old GE catalog with it with no avail.

[@mhpjii]

Crazy skills, man. That is a 70's model because the olive green was not fashionable until then.

[@CrazyTony65]

I’ve wanted a few of your videos and loved every one I’ve watched. I watched both heaters from old dryers and have been looking for one but now I want to make one of these I love how much smaller and compact this is. You always impress me.

Very good build,looks great,works great.

[@Bawkr]

That looks so cool, I bought all the parts to make that tire bar, well I still need the bolt if I don't have one. Going to make it when it warms up, I'll be able to de-tire some wheels & sell them right away, down the line I will be able to mount to nice wheels. Also got the tire balancer for about $14 using a $50 coupon. I've been wanting to mount like 280mm fans to my oil radiator heater & get then elegantly incorporated into the wiring, the box fan that I use on it is pretty big & in the way. Those buttons work a heck of a lot like a arcade push button without the spring.
