Thank you 🙂 The result is very dependent on the quality of the pine wood, i.e. the content of resin in the wood. Pine roots may be rich in resin, but in the old days the pine tree could be cut in a way that it would produce resin-rich wood also in stem and branches. The pine uses resin to protect damaged parts after for example broken branches during storms.
For it to be commercially sold, do you add any other thing to it? Also, do you think I can use this same process for palm kernel shell and get a good result. Finally, what is the wood moisture content required and what temperature do you start getting the wood tar?
We did not add anything to the tar we extracted. It was not sold, either. We used it for our own wooden boats in the local coastal culture association. We did not measure wood moisture or temperature, but it is recommended to use well dried wood. I do not know if it can be used with palm kernel shell. I read on the net that biodiesel is extracted from palm kernel. The pine wood we used was rich in a solid state resin, while palm kernel might have a more oily content? The more liquefied content, the higher chance for producing hydrocarbons in gas form when heated? I would be careful.....
@@booomer180Yes. If you can capture and cool the gas (distillate, like with liquor and spirits), ypu get wood alcohol, a.k.a. methanol. Methanol has many, many, MANY uses, including for heat and power generation, as well as creating bio-diesel.
It gets a bit thicker, but does not harden. Hardening happens after it is used on wood and has become weathered from sun and wind. That takes weeks in the warm season.
The first stuff was not dumped. The stuff that it look like we "dump" is water to cool the drainage pipe from the tar extraction tank. The collection bucket is still in place while cooling the pipe.
Beautifully done. Good Stockholm Tar is rather a joy to have, and pricey to buy! Love seeing the old skills kept alive!
that's amazing! 15 Litres is a very good yield and will last a long time.
What a great video! Excellent demonstration of a nearly forgotten process, and done in a beautiful location! Thanks!
Very good result! I've seen videos starting with barrels of the same size but only yielding less than 2 liters.
Thank you 🙂

Very interesting vidéo, thank you
The one oldman about to lose it because the other oldman banging on the rim without a piece of wood!
If it weren't for this exact tar extraction video, my life would have ended short and tragically by my own hand

@@matsopp thanks for the tips is very useful.
Explanation must have been there. Tar, gas and that oil. Searching a lot for coal tar and wood tar and crude oil derivatives
So cool, must try.
how did they manage to fit the barrel bottom back over what appears to be the same barrel they cut it from?
They flared the outer one. As seen being adjusted in the video.
Did you end up with a bucket of charcoal after your tar extract ?
Yes
@@Localghosts44 so now you have fuel for a charcoal gasifier to run your generator.
@@Localghosts44
What about gas ? Is the gas usable too.?
@@booomer180 Yes pyrolysis gas can be burnt to generate heat.
@@booomer180Yes. If you can capture and cool the gas (distillate, like with liquor and spirits), ypu get wood alcohol, a.k.a. methanol. Methanol has many, many, MANY uses, including for heat and power generation, as well as creating bio-diesel.
Can i use this as glue? Like pine pitch glue?
does the tar harden after it cools down?
It gets a bit thicker, but does not harden. Hardening happens after it is used on wood and has become weathered from sun and wind. That takes weeks in the warm season.
That is so awesome I wish I could one day I wish I could
Just do it.
It's wood vinegar???
why did you dump that first stuff?
The first stuff was not dumped. The stuff that it look like we "dump" is water to cool the drainage pipe from the tar extraction tank. The collection bucket is still in place while cooling the pipe.
How many hours it took to process all?
About 6 to 8 hours from the fire was lit.
15 litres, thats enough to make something purely out of the tar, but u can extend it with fibre!!!
what do use it for?
Tar is a wood resin that is used for impregnating wood like wooden boats and buildings.
