Tim we just think your amazing with what you do so clever 🤠.We love seeing the baby doneky looking on at what your doing.We just love you Tim and Sandra.We love Ireland as well.Till next time.🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️☮️
Looks awesome - How bout an extension on the muffler to above the roof line. Don't want you getting smoked out while working so hard. Thanks again for sharing Tim.
Not a word of a lie, Tim, this is one of the most terrifying things I've seen in a while, and I say that with a great deal of admiration. To think you get 3-inch branches through that thing with barely a hiccup is astonishing
Hurrah and lovely! Ps the siding into the polytunnel will only ever need human power, so clinks and clunks on the switches will never trouble a mechanical loco. Love that green!
Interesting how big the broken wood is, presumably directly related to the rotation speed. All the commercial chippers I have seen produce much smaller chippings. For your application this size looks ideal and it would also be a good mix to go with larger logs in a wood burner. I have always found that the greatest heat in a wood burner comes with smaller fuel, so long as it is not that small, like saw dust, when it smoulders rather than burns. Thanks for sharing!
Great job 👏. What a fantastic chomper. To prevent accidents extend the input shoot 6 inches longer than your arm. Just in case somebody else uses it in the winter whilst wearing long sleeves that could get caught on a branch as it rapidly goes in. Also hang a weight on pulley handle to free up your hands.
7:27 Narrator Tim: "And everything seems to be safe enough... Well, for a machine that features large whirling blades that is!" Real life Tim: "Weeeee!" My favorite moment of your whole series. And I've pretty much watched everything you produced on the charcoal production line :)
It looks like it works nice. It is good that you have scraps of wood and steel in stock to make things. I am glad that you found a affordable way to make your chipper. In the states a chipper make small pieces only good for mulch. You chipper makes the size that you want so it is a winner. You are quite a inventor and you are able to fix things until it works the way that you want. I am glad that your family is there to help you.
Wow!! So very satisfying. I do have to admit to sitting watching that machine do its work with my fingers curled into a palms and ever such a gentle lean back from the screen, but what a tremendous job it does. And...you're quite right, it's as safe as houses. Good practical problem solving. I love your work. I love your videos. Keep up the tremendous work. Greetings from Perth, Western Australia
Those wood chunks look absolutely perfect for charcoal making! I was worried they'd be true chips that wouldnt let enough air through, but these are wonderful!
I'm just weird enough to love this! How exciting and fulfilling to build all of this and put it together, and make it work. And then a treat at the end... the Tim RR in action! Thanks for your channel!
Dear sir. I love your projects. You say "not being an engineer". I happen to be, and I say you are indeed an engineer of the best quality, that makes something from often close to nothing. I love that you use the old beautiful engine to drive several machineries, though those are hardcore. I can also see your love for smart solutions, as well for some aesthetics. I presume that the curved spokes at the belt wheel was hard to resist? I live in Sweden, soon 66 years, but have loved to be a neighbor of yours. So receive my love to all of you.
Clogged up is very much the right word, you could make baby sized clogs out of some of those chuncks! I'll be excitedly looking forward to your version of solo or skip bin.
It looks very swish, Tim. Just the right size for charcoal. Years ago my Thai gardener dug a charcoal kiln in my garden. He dug a pit then built clay walls around it. He made good charcoal too. Charcoal was used extensively here in thailand, but gas has taken over. I'm looking forward to seeing your kiln construction. Keep em coming!
Interesting. Thanks, Ron. I've only been to Cambodia but I imagine it's similar - still lots of street kitchens cooking on charcoal. Do you remember whether they cut the timber into small pieces before or after charcoaling them?
Doesn't matter if you call it a Wood Chipper or a Log Chunker or Green Gerty, it works the way you want. I am looking forward to your charcoal making. Your work keeps me going when the idea of my own farm looks so far away. Please keep it up!
If those tracks run close enough to your chipper, it would make sense if you could run a conveyor off of the same motor as your chipper the.n convey the chips to a cart and off to your kilns with out the needle bending over and lifting. Neat video.
Very good work. The only improvement I can think of would be a proper flat belt. Better grip - though that's not really important here because it already works very well - but mainly because it would last much longer [probably for ever!]. They used to be common, of course, made of layers of heavy-duty canvas, but probably are difficult to get nowadays. Love your enthusiasm and can-do attitude. Thanks.
Always important to do as you are doing, putting the branch in with the downhill side in first. If the opposite end is used, the potential is for a branch to grab you and try to pull you in. Happened to a city worker using similar mulchers locally here in central california. He had been warned several times not to do it wrong, but a branch eventually caught him and pulled him in.
Very satifying! was very excited that you got a chunker instead of a chipper :) Also liked the joke about Will being cranky XD I was thinking in my head "a conveyer into a rail cart would be optimal" and then YOU SAID IT! Can't wait for more! Keep it up and thanks for your hard work and dedication to sharing!
Cracking job, mate. One good mod perhaps would be to convert the exhaust from horizontal to vertical with a little rain hat on ofcourse. It would put the fumes further from your working area............Just a thought😉
just as a side note, start collecting cooking oil from your friends and restaurants. Those old diesels are dancing on without ever complaining. Just make sure to flush the system with proper diesel after each run, so nothing could get solidified. It is exactly my plan with regard to my motor once I fix it.
@@WayOutWestx2 If you are keen on vegetable oil, try advertising on the local online marketplace asking for free oil. I did this myself and found there are plenty of individuals who are happy to donate their used oil.
Used motor oil works in a diesel as well. I met a guy who made a distiller for motor oil. The first fraction was gasoline. Then oil. Or you could just clean it bywicking it with a Cotton rope into a lower container, like they do in India
Put a hinge at the input end of the chute & a clip at the cutter end & you can just flip it out of the way to access the blades. Oh & how about pulling the string with a spring balance to find out how much weight is needed, then run the string over a pulley to the correct weight.
Beautiful job Tim. On blacksmith power hammers they use a foot pedal clutch that will give it more power or less power. If you made the footpedal big enough it wouldn’t take very much force to activate it. You could throw some springs on the other side and mess with the tension. That way you can operate it with your foot and feed it with both hands. It turned out absolutely awesome. Can’t wait to see the charcoal factory up and running.
Instead of the clutch rope need a adjustable tensioner spring or weights on the rope that will eventually correlate with the wood diameters that was put in. A scrap drum brake+ parking brake lever from a car would do nicely as emergency brake
Add one more big spring on the other side of the clutch lever and you'll have more forgiveness on the pull rope. you can pull it until the spring starts to stretch and the spring will keep the tension a little more constant as the belt and/or pulleys heat up, etc.
Well done sir! I am glad to see the project met your expectations. While I do not operate on the same scale as your farm, I do use your videos as an inspiration for the many jobs around my home. Thank you very much for sharing a little part of your world.
Dig yourself a little gully to lay some track then rig up your trolly system so you can deliver the wood chunks directly to the kiln. Heck you could probably even automate it with a pulley system.
I’d like to give that 10 thumbs up! And it does look smart. For best safety, some metal bars across the mouth of the input cowl? Which I think is the convention. All in all, a job well done.
Very impressive, Tim! It seems that a conveyor output and more fish boxes are needed, and probably a bigger input guide? I'm guessing that the charcoal business will be taking off big time - are you planning some new steel ovens? Really looking forward to the next episodes!
Another great video Tim, and idea. Perhaps a chain driven system would give it more torque, but doing this may give it too much torque. Another idea is a wider belt. This would leave more surface area on both fly wheels resulting in more torque, but it would let you know when something is too big for it by just sliding. Cheers, Eoghan.
the chipper just destroying branches with the sound of a machine gun is truly satisfying to watch
It's kinda scary and hilarious at the same time.
A chimney for the exhaust might be a good idea.
Wonderful work, nonetheless. I really like the paint job.
Thanks - yes, I'm still trying to find something suitable for an exhaust pipe..
Start just with a 90degree anglehose ...
Vaginalverker
I think it fits right in with the engine. It even has period level health and safety measures :D
As always Tim, dream big, start small. Your enthusiasm is infectious!

Love that green!
Oh my goodness.... I really need to get ours out now and create this... All the wood for the fire we could chop. So many branches around. Thankyou.
Yes, perhaps we should. We turned off comments on 'How to kill a cockerel' and our life became much quieter : - )
I would say that is a complete success and also with a degree of common sense it’s very safe too, well done Tim.

Yes, I've been thinking it would work perfectly in our stove. I'll report back in the autumn..
you definitely need a railway waggon with a mower attached to it XD nice job and awesome to see your work as always
Yep, a conveyor belt would be fabulous. :) What a wonderfully cheery green colour too.
Great job 👏. What a fantastic chomper. To prevent accidents extend the input shoot 6 inches longer than your arm. Just in case somebody else uses it in the winter whilst wearing long sleeves that could get caught on a branch as it rapidly goes in. Also hang a weight on pulley handle to free up your hands.
I think I will just make sure no one uses it with loose clothing

I was worried they'd be true chips that wouldnt let enough air through, but these are wonderful!
Great , that engine will take some stopping, put the exhaust up out of the roof so you are not breathing the exhaust gases. great job.
I'm just weird enough to love this!
How exciting and fulfilling to build all of this and put it together, and make it work. And then a treat at the end... the Tim RR in action! Thanks for your channel!
Very satisfying to watch it munch up all those branches!
That is a fantastic machine. The green paint makes it look like a bought one 😊 Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Craig!
This looks like it came strait out of the 1920s, it's great!

Glad to see it is much safer now. Love the paint job. And I could watch your train all day long.
Clogged up is very much the right word, you could make baby sized clogs out of some of those chuncks!
I'll be excitedly looking forward to your version of solo or skip bin.
Thanks Tim for keeping us up to snuff, I really love your inventions, the neatest ones in many years for me! Thanks.
That sound of the motor, so satisfying
My word, what a beast. Doesn't seem to mind the thicker pieces a bit! Hats off to you sir! Amazing~!
Nice gobble gobble chiper you got there mate!
REMET CNC - great Polish company
I have ordered Liam's book from the US Amazon and it should be arriving tomorrow! Good work on the chunker, Tim!
Hope you enjoy it!
Well done Tim, lovely job indeed. very innovative.
I love your international collection of fish boxes!
Ha! Yes, it's coming along nicely : - )
That thing has gone from totally terrifying to quite alarming. Nice work.
Ha! Good enough : - )

@@WayOutWestx2 They break the large pieces after they have cooled down..
I don't know if you follow TH-cam but there are many tips on charcoal ovens and burning. @@WayOutWestx2
Works fab.
And it looks smashing after the paint.
☮
Love it! I’ve an old school petrol chipper here. They get the adrenaline going based on the potential dangers.
Doesn't matter if you call it a Wood Chipper or a Log Chunker or Green Gerty, it works the way you want.
I am looking forward to your charcoal making. Your work keeps me going when the idea of my own farm looks so far away. Please keep it up!
Green Gerty!
This channel is amazing.
Best chipper I've ever seen buddy 👍
Aw! Thanks!
If those tracks run close enough to your chipper, it would make sense if you could run a conveyor off of the same motor as your chipper the.n convey the chips to a cart and off to your kilns with out the needle bending over and lifting. Neat video.
Great Job Tim the chipper looks to be working brilliantly, a SET of ear defenders wouldn't go a miss all the best
Very good work. The only improvement I can think of would be a proper flat belt. Better grip - though that's not really important here because it already works very well - but mainly because it would last much longer [probably for ever!].

Also liked the joke about Will being cranky XD
I was thinking in my head "a conveyer into a rail cart would be optimal" and then YOU SAID IT!
Can't wait for more! Keep it up and thanks for your hard work and dedication to sharing!
Turned out rather well bro. Safe travels up your way
A lick of paint made it look like a bought one.
Cracking job, mate. One good mod perhaps would be to convert the exhaust from horizontal to vertical with a little rain hat on ofcourse. It would put the fumes further from your working area............Just a thought😉
Thanks - yes, I agree. (Just not enough hours in the day!)
just as a side note, start collecting cooking oil from your friends and restaurants. Those old diesels are dancing on without ever complaining. Just make sure to flush the system with proper diesel after each run, so nothing could get solidified. It is exactly my plan with regard to my motor once I fix it.
Yes, NFF ...Nearly Free Fuel.
Many people have tried to collect used oil - it is impossible to buy here, because the restaurants have it collected already

@@dennistaylor3796 Or run it thru a centrifuge.
Wow that is amazing!! So impressed with how nice the pieces come out, great work. Looking forward to the next installment!
That chipper looks great all painted up smartly. Well done 👍
good chunker....i need one
Put a hinge at the input end of the chute & a clip at the cutter end & you can just flip it out of the way to access the blades.
Oh & how about pulling the string with a spring balance to find out how much weight is needed, then run the string over a pulley to the correct weight.
I prefer to have a quick-release cleat to release the string - but your way would work too

That way you can operate it with your foot and feed it with both hands. It turned out absolutely awesome. Can’t wait to see the charcoal factory up and running.
I think I've worked it out now so I don't need to hold the string - it's just held in a quick-release cleat. I'll show you next time..
I didn't know, the world needed a machine like this, but now I think, it does 😉 👏👏👏
Instead of the clutch rope need a adjustable tensioner spring or weights on the rope that will eventually correlate with the wood diameters that was put in. A scrap drum brake+ parking brake lever from a car would do nicely as emergency brake
You could put a safety bar in front of the feed chute, that pushes the clutch lever off.
I love the engine. Looks like some old Lister
Thanks - it's a Bamford but they're similar
Its been so cool watching this project manifest! I look forward to every one of your videos!
Add one more big spring on the other side of the clutch lever and you'll have more forgiveness on the pull rope. you can pull it until the spring starts to stretch and the spring will keep the tension a little more constant as the belt and/or pulleys heat up, etc.
Coming along nicely!
you did it! i remember while back you said you'ld come up with a chipper for those massive brush piles
We always used a flat belt on our hit and miss. More surface area for tension
Mesmerizing and joyfully satisfying to watch!
Well done sir! I am glad to see the project met your expectations. While I do not operate on the same scale as your farm, I do use your videos as an inspiration for the many jobs around my home. Thank you very much for sharing a little part of your world.

Very smart paint job.
Liam’s book came and it’s really ingenious. He takes after his Da! (Bonnie)
Aw! Thanks, Bonnie!
I look forward to the rest!
Very interesting series of videos! Looking forward to next ones
Great work! I see you are having lots of fun :)
This is fantastic!
Great video.
Thanks for sharing this with us!
Beautiful Work and Very Creative. God bless you all !! (from Florida USA =:^)
Great job Tim! What about adding a second belt, instead of increasing tension, at least you’ve got a clutch that slips instead of damaging parts...
Dig yourself a little gully to lay some track then rig up your trolly system so you can deliver the wood chunks directly to the kiln. Heck you could probably even automate it with a pulley system.
I'm working on it, but there's a lot to do..!
That engine, oh man 😍
Great job Tim, very effective.
impressive chopping action ! I like your paint job :)
Can't wait for the next episode
Thank you very much!
Its still mighty scary! But a great piece of work. Les in UK
That thing is soooo scary but in a really really cool way. 😎

I'm still thinking of using cone kilns - but probably have to make big ones..
Looks like you need a rail siding to the chipper collection area
A very fine machine!
Thanks!
A great success 👍
Amazing stuff Tim, inspiring really!
Awesome 👍👍👍Thanks for sharing
A job well done!
You might want to use a flat belt in place of the vee belt for better power transfer.
