the god damn chickens everytime

Atuallu many nowdays engine oils not burl like old day ones.. ignition point sometimes are higher than 250°C. Easy to test that w when adding used motor oil to some fireplace so to speak to start burning andburn better.. but that oil don't want to burn.. disel, motorcycle etc oils not so easy to ignite.. So - the same here - investigate options to use this oil for wood and wood deck maintenance to enlarge their lifetime and preserve wood from climate impact..

Any thoughts so on using it seal concrete ?

For all we know, medication is made from recycled engine oil. Use it and you'll be fine.

did you ever get around to changing the axle seals? I wouldn't mind seeing that

I'm running a test on this vs boiled linseed oil right now. I have 3 pieces of old PT 2x10 with 1, 2, and 3 coats of 50/50 used motor oil & mineral spirits (didn't have diesel). Then I did 3 pieces with the first having 4 coats of pure BLO, the second having 3 coats of 50/50 BLO & mineral spirits, and the third having 2 coats of 50/50 and 2 coats of pure BLO. I found that while the motor oil pieces penetrated deep into the wood, there was a noticeable oily finish on the surface after only 2 coats. And 3 coats was quite oily. This might be ok for a fence or something, but I'm putting it on my utility trailer that I use to haul sheet goods, lumber, and expensive hardwoods. So this was a no go for me, obviously. The BLO test pieces by contrast are hard to the touch, which is to be expected with a hardening oil like BLO. I think the combo of 50/50 coats on the first 1-2 coats then pure BLO thereafter is the way to go for sure.

It’s viewed as controversial as we are trained and condition by wood preserver producers to believe buying their products is better in spite of the fact it wastes more resource to produce it.

Tree huggers are causing more problems then fixing. Great vid ❤

Oh hecks yeah. I just changed my oil. I got 3ish liters of used oil. Is it flammable? I got a deck that needs staining but I have a bbq on it.

used motor oil is carcinogenic i would not be using that anywhere i come in contact with it often.

Just built a platform on my patio out of 2x4s...i have a 55 gallon drum of waste oil...i never buy wood finish...

Thanks for the video! I've been using a brush but now I want to use an electric sprayer!

🚧🚧Bonjour Mon Ami, j'espere que vous allez bien car votre dernier vidéo remonte a 6 mois 🙏🙏😇😇🚧🚧

😂 there is an access hole right next to the fill plug, just take the tire off , put a flat head through hole, pop off rubber cap, get you a squeeze bottle a 1/4 vent line and fill it up. Do you hole saw a hole in your hood to change the oil in your vehicles too? 😂😂😂

The environmental question is a big one I'm trying to answer. There's so much that goes into it. This is a form of recycling that appears to be far more efficient and less impactful than other forms of recycling. In addition, it is localized; meaning that additional waste from logistical movement is not spent. Oil does degrade faster than synthetic plastics which is confusing because they're made out of the same stuff as far as I understand. It is also cheap or even free resulting in less work for said resource unless economic impact on the environment from this reduced work. Improves the lifespan when compared to bare wood resulting in less wood waste and longer structural integrity. In contrast though, dangerous heavy metals, variance amongst oils, questionable biodegradability, risk of contaminating groundwater, unclear evidence of dispersed use being environmentally safe, and unclear lifespan for this use case before safe degradation can occur. Does it have negative health impacts to humans occupying and interacting with these oil finished structures? Also, there's a number of other factors that play into this. Are new paints and finishes environmentally safer? It's a good question because we don't know as average consumers what's in these paints. Are they any more biodegradable? Do they contain microplastics? How much economic work is required to produce these paints and what is the environmental cost? How much longer does wood last with off-the-shelf paint in comparison to used oil finishes? How reusable is the wood if the structure is dismantled? If oil is unethical to use as a wood finish in terms of its environmental impact, how is this use case any more unethical than the staggering amount of oil spilled every year from vehicles during their use case? If anyone has an opinion or more info on this please let me know the internet is not giving very clear answers.

If spraying underside of deck with pump sprayer does one need to be concerned with overspray on vinyl siding?

What’s the mix ratio ?

Ive used the motor oil/diesel mix on my deck. Its a hard tropical timber called VITEX. Beautiful result, however i used new motoroil, not used oil. Am not a fan of that greyish, dirty colour the used oil produces. (Depends of course just how dirty the oil is). Clean oil mixed 50/50 with diesel produced the natural warm colour i wanted

Why do you need to cut it with oil? Does it have to be used? Will transmission oil be good, used or unused?

Could you use the engine oils on the deck that was already stained with bought from shop normal pain for decking , how about fences covered in moss ? Thanks

Does it smell or have any odor after it’s applied? Does it come off on your shoes or does it dry?

hmm, missed the mix rate?

I will not use water based stain

I don't have used oil, can I use new motor oil?

Mine don’t look like that. I have a clear plastic jug. It is spilling on the floor as soon as I put it in

Alright, sweet👌 I'm looking for a cheap and easy solution for resurfacing my cutting boards

Does this smell? I’m planning too treat my decks and don’t want a bad order. Thanks

Diesel is only to thin the oil, get it to soak into wood faster and it will evaporate over couple days so only motor oil remains in wood. Motor oil flash point is high and not considered flammable. Somewhere I read to also add bit of borax in mixture, it should stop mold, fungus and insects, don't know exact mixing ratios.

Sooooo whats the challenge? Did you build this stove?

interesting wood stove😍

Good evening, that is quite the wood stove/wood furnace. Thanks for sharing 👍Ben

Hi . You blow on embers, not on ashes

That's an impressive stove, Theo! I've never seen one like it before. - Rick

👌😇👍💪😋🍻

Interesting wood stove! I like the trick with the copper pipe! Thanks!

Good Evening Mon Ami, That Is a Very Nice Wood Stove Sir 👍🔥😇Nice Sarbacane Copper Pipe 👍👌🤣Very Nice Fire ( I Can Feel The Heat ) 🔥🔥Nice Fan System 👌😇👍 Welcome Sir and I can't wait to see the video From Cast Iron Machine 🧐👌😇👍Keep Warm Sir Cheers 🍻

It's looking great, Theo!! Fantastic job on the doors. I like them. This brings back memories from when I worked on my barn. For the bottom of the doors, perhaps a sliding latch running from the upper door to the lower piece. Just get a fairly large latch that will hold the lower piece plum to the upper door.

Put a lock on the bottom like on the back door a post that slides down to hold it straight 🤘

deer you say

Good Evening Sir, very nice project on the go 😇😇👌👌👍👍Very Nice small Roof Above the door entrance and very nice door too 👍👍👌👌😇😇 These are big Heavy doors 🥴🥴The Young Man is helping 😇😇👌👌👍👍 Very Clever bottom Doggy Doors 👍👍👌👌😇😇 For Your Lower Door use like a Bender Steel Rod ( bender like we use on chains ) I hope that you have the idea, a couple of strait steel rod hold by the top doors going down into steel loops of the bottoms doggy doors will works to Sir Cheers 🍻🍻

I hear that oil is better than aloe.

Hebat sekali caranya

I recently dropped my tire for the same reason. I couldn't get it to drop at first. Thought it was rusted up. Turns out I had the rod backwards! Haha!

Just treated a eighty year old root cellar door made of red oak with used oil and diesel should be good for eighty more😊

Great method for generations

grease the cable to. this happened to us on a wet gravel road. it was rusted beyond belief and everything was rusted.

Good Evening Sir👍👌😇Great team work with the backhoe😇👌👍Great use of the ladder for leveling 👍👌😇Your Mahindra Tractor did Truly an OUTSTANDING Job 😇👌👍💪OUTSTANDING Pool Deck 👍👌😇 Have a nice week end Cheers 👌👌😇😇👍👍🍻🍻

The kids must be thrilled. Great job.
