***** Holy machinery! That could supply several miners at once, eh? I'd be happy with something that could sand-blast without difficulty, but we all have different standards on what's big or little depending on our experience.
+Cody'sLab when you decide to blast again drill further than the explosive goes in so theres about a 2 inch gap from the explosive to the start of the hole that will give you a better result ive mined with my father for 4 years now and that how weve done it and it works pretty well
Hi Cody, I worked underground for a couple of years. Those sticks might have been sheared off by a neighboring hole before they had a chance to detonate. We used precision detonators on holes that were close together. Also loaded the detonator first so that if a delayed hole got cut off it would still have a chance. For sequenced blasts electric detonators are all set off at the same time and then the delay begins internally, that way the wire or even part of the hole can be destroyed and it will still work. We were pretty diligent about washing out the stub holes and cracks on the face after a blast. Explosive compound can get forced into the cracks and go off when you hit it with the drill. Our drills used water for flushing the chips so we always had lots of water available. Keeps the dust down too. Dave
As far as I can tell from the explosives that didn't go off there are several reasons that could have caused the blast to not work properly. Either the tubes the explosives were in were smaller than the critical diameter required for the blast to propagate through the entire charge, i missed what explosive compound you were using to be able to check and see if it was in a blasting handbook i have. Another reason is that the charges may have been packed too tight. I don't think it was an issue of the drill holes being too close together. Another thing that I noticed is that it didn't look like you were utilizing stemming. Which is drilling the hole deeper than the length of the charge and then plugging the end of the hold to better transfer the energy of the blast to the surrounding rock mass to fracture it. If this is the case you are losing a lot of energy from the blast to the air resulting in air overpressure and you will get cupping of the drill holes like those shown in this video. Also just a heads up be watch yourself when working under that unsupported roof after blasting. I have had a bunch of guys i know and worked with in the coal mines have rocks fall out and hit them or the ribs of the entry roll out on them.
@@Eman4570 Mining engineer with 15 years experience here. I would like to echo your sentiments here, you are spot on! Stemming the blastholes is EXTREMELY important -- without stemming all of the energy just goes out the top of the hole. And I too was cringing watching Cody work under unsupported, unscaled top. Cody -- get yourself a sturdy scaling bar and "scale down" the back (roof) of the adit before you resume work underneath. This will help keep you and others safe. Love your videos. Stay safe, and keep up the great work!
you really should separate your rocks from rockdust with a sifter, and keep the rock dust in 5 gallon buckets. The next rainstorm you'll be flushing your silver away leaving it out in the open like that.
Vertrego On one of his vids he pulverized chunks of rock to make rock dust, I'm just saying that it might save him a step by just processing his dust from the explosion.
Damn, there is something about old rusty tools and engines that just make my hands itch. I love fixing up and messing around with old rusty power tools and engine. And after you're done, you get to play with explosives too! I'm telling you Cody, you're living the life my friend!
Cody I bet you might have a lot of your subscribers from the area that would be willing to help you out. I know I would. It'd be a crazy adventure to go mining and what not. It's all in the transformation that I love these kinds of things.
I'm so impressed you do so much thing on your own. your lifestyle is very interesting and i thank you for shearing it with other people around the world that are unable of doing that sort of things.
When he pronounced it that way, along with the fact that it was covered in rock dust I figured that a Triantular must be some fossilised prehistoric arachnid... Then it freaking moves 5 inches from the camera lens!
He seems to almost have unlimited supplies in other areas so why not! Plus lets face it, it would look darn cool plus (in theory) it could be more useful than trucking it in and out with a wheelbarrow but I am not Cody so I maybe totally wrong!
You'll find most things are reasonably achievable if one has the spuds to roll ya sleeves up and jump in. And he's been around all that sort of thing all his life I should think. And don't forget. We have the bloody internet now, so one has access to pretty much anything you need to know. What an awesome thing. Beat's having to shlop down to the library to try and find something suitable.
He lives on a farm. You have to know how to fix things or you are in trouble. Calling in someone for a repair can take days or cost thousands of dollars and sometimes both. When time is short you have to know how to fix it yourself.
Who else loves when Cody posts? The material he puts out is always so enjoyable to watch, and he is always so motivated even when he is in school and has a life off camera. Easily one of my favorite TH-camrs out there
Keep the good stuff coming! I'm a marine engineer from Iceland, a different kind wasteland to Utah. I like to think of myself as a curious guy but you are my idol. I got two young daughters that love your videos as well. The Apollo astronauts trained here before they went to the moon, holler me if you happen to be here.
Marine engineer? Like army engineer? Now that i think of it, from playing battlefield 4 on operation locker (hardcore) id equip the engineer class with a EOD bot and because its so small, i just go in there spotting and using the torch on to rack up points. Ah. Wait iceland? Thats interesting i didnt think they would need marines. Then again with it being a island it would make a great place to make a fort.
I'm really not sure about you moving material back in the collapsed mine. With a fault running down there, the rubble might be what's holding it in place. I reckon 200ft of an air hose is cheaper than getting a new Cody, eh? Also, the air compressor is sick. So much potential... Good luck restoring it. You might need it. Any production date or something? PS.: Im not sure, but wouldn't you want to either brace it up or knock down the semi-loose material in the dome at the end of the main mine? I shiver every time you point the camera up there. I've been in a mine when a part of it collapsed. Fortunatelly, I was on the right side. The material looked way more solid than this here, so... By the way, how thick is the rock layer above the mine? Ever considered making a vent shaft or would it compromise the tunnel's structure?
Two important questions: Could you work with it safely and reliably? Would it have the energy and suitable speed to break up the rock well? Personally I would consider skipping the explosives, and go for feathers and wedges to block things out. Getting your initial break space/line is kind of a pain, but really it is just a row of holes to drill closely together so you can break open a long straight slot. After you have that you can start splitting out larger blocks. If you use a small bit on your pneumatic drill then you can make a lot of progress in a short time, and if you can handle the blocks in large enough chunks that stay together then you can also save a lot of effort in the muck out. (Much of your material handling then becomes sliding blocks out of a shelf space and onto a cart rather than trying to shovel it up if you plan your cutting plan right.)
would you consider sending me one or two or those old bottles of penicillin? ive got a large collection of antique science and medical stuff, those would be so cool to add to my collection!
Cody, when going into a recently blasted area, check that it is safe and prevent rockfall. Just take a long metal stick and from the safe zone poke the ceiling quite violently. Better than any loose rock hittong your head. And a little tip for blasting: You have acces to ammonium nitrate, I am pretty sure about this. Just take Anfo if legal. And for bringing in pulver into a borehole, take a little capsule with the explosive and ignitor and push it in (wih air if sensitive explosive is used). Then take something like building foam to tighten the hole up
If you guys listened, he said the explosive tubes were not a wide enough diameter, so the explosion couldn't propagate throughout the explosive material. It smothered itself mostly.
I wish I had the money to come and help with the mine just for the fun of it that would be an awesome experience. I literally just came across your videos and started with part one and watched all they thru nonstop.I'm always looking for some new adventure to go on and digging a mine is one I've never been on!!! Your a cool guy and I love the stuff you do definitely subscribing to your channel. Take care Cody and definitely be safe.
Id like to see you rebuilding that old air pump. I suppose you could break it down then build it back up again within 10-20 episodes depending on the condition and the price of the new parts.
I think it's great you're willing to do so much work for your fans. It does seem like you're having fun though, at least I hope you are. It sure is fun to watch. Keep up the good work Cody! Also please blow more shit up :D
Pretty sure that's a Ford model A four cylinder. You should be able to get absolutely anything you need for it new or used. Should be stampings or casting marks on it somewhere. Fair chance that hose is still good, but you REALLY don't want to chance it. And as Tanzer below me said, get those tools, and your compressor serviced. You don't need to ruin them or have stuff explode.
Also, get that air tank hydrostatically tested. Few people actually bleed them when they're supposed to and that thing is old. Bet there's lots of water and oil and rust in the bottom. Be safe Buddy!
i dont think it would be a bad idea to use a plasma cutter to make a dent in the mine but i think it would take some practice before you want to completely replace explosives with it. dont take this as fact but i heard that if you change the design of the top of your mine it would allow air to flow naturally into it. every foot or push the roof up or down and as theair begins to heat and cool it would naturally vent itself out.
+Cody'sLab correctly if im wrong but i believe its impossible to make plasma without adding electricity? solid- liquid- and gas can all undergo a physical change in nature by adding heat - electricity - or vibration but i believe for a gas to undergo the phtsical change to plasma requires electricity to be passing between atoms? unless you meant making the rock conductive?
A Fly Since ive never owned or used a plasma cutter, i may misunderstand it but plasma is not the same as electricity and i have done my research on that. I believe strongly in the plasma/electric universe and ive spent many hours on the topic.
Arjen Hartink well true but if he finds out he can use that mine for cool things and decides to continue he can make the mine wider and simple engineering can make a mine cart sytem no problem
+Cody's Lab careful not to drop tarantulas too far from the ground or you might injury or kill them, their exoskeletons dont absorb impact all that well and internal injuries usually follow when they fall from a great height and some are very quick when they want to be, despite their sluggish strolls
Hey Cody, What are you supposed to do if a charge doesn't go off? I would assume pulling it out and walking it out of the mine would be unsafe? It would be pretty neat if you gave us some safety tid-bits like this in your videos if you wanted to :D
Hey Cody, a good idea to help get the smoke/dust out faster would be to makeshift something to connect your air mattress pump you brought over and connect it to your air ventilation tube and the air moving towards the far end would in a sense bounce off and push the smoke outwards. Obviously there could be a more efficient processes like hooking up a leaf blower or something of that sort, you should give it a try!
Hello fro the Forest of Dean in the UK. Stumbled across your mining videos today. Very impressive! It looks like you arnt far off needing a very basic narrow gauge tram system to get it the muck out. If I was on the right side of the Atlantic I would be offering my laboring! Good luck and dig safe!
Hey Cody! My name is Nick I'm 14 from West Valley, Utah. I find your videos very educational and entertaining. I love your videos channel and I hope that one day we might be able to meet. Keep up the great work ❤️
Great Video Cody. I remember subbing to this channel at I think about 12k subs its great to see you have so many subs now, keep up the interesting videos.Cant wait to see you're drill and compressor in action and please make sure to film the rebuild of that old compressor. Cheers m8..
The bees and the mining episodes are by far my favourites. I find it very interesting and fascinating how you are living a "minecraft life" like a character in a farming/economy RPG :D
Oh wow! What great finds! Wonderful grandpa, too -- hope you can use that air hose. PLEASE don't run the air compressor any longer -- replace the bearings (or whatever) to minimize the cost to get it running.
Nice compressor .you can definitely rebuild it but dont short cut anything.i rebuild tractors with a buddie and its so much sweeter when done correctly thanks for sharing be safe in that hole in the ground
For some reason I love watching you dig this mine, its awesome you find time to put so much effort into making a video like this also I would have left that mine and never looked back If I saw a spider lime that.
Cody congratulation on almost reaching 500k I am exited to watch your channel continue to grow and some day I hope to see you receive a diamond play button
Looking forward to the drilling now. I'm sure a 4 or 5 HP contractor compressor would run that hammer drill. At some point the compressor will reach equilibrium with the air consumption of the hammer drill and that's the pressure it will run at.
Looks like your mining efforts could be about ready to take off! That compressor could do a lot of work for you if you can get it in good order again. Something about digging and mining always struck my fancy when I was a child; I would have killed to have mines on the property like that. Really enjoying the series!
I just started watching your videos, awesome work. Suggestion on your blasting technique though, the ANFO you're making is much more than sufficient including minimal critical diameter to propagate your explosion. What you're lacking is proper stemming of your bore hole, add a stemming plug. They're cheap plastic flower looking like parts, you can end up using 1/4 of your current powder for much better pressure build-up. If you have any questions shoot me a PM and I can suggest many other items to make that easier on you.
Cody i've been watching your channel for a while now and I never really comment. But I just want to say that I love your videos and the effort you put into them. Especially this series keep doing what you're doing I love it.
Omg. the rag over the torch is a godsend.
Dude just picks up a giant ass spider.
10/10
Big for the typical spider, but small for a tarantula.
baby tarantula?
Aren't those poisonous?
+Luke Whittingham cool
Oh well, didn't know that! Thanks!
'Little'?! That's a sweet air-compressor! Your grandfather left ya some nice equipment in the mine, eh? Looks like this is going to be fun!
the one he had (that got scrapped when I was 4) could put out something like 1000CFM

Different mine.
Cody I know they are expensive but please get a real respirator. that dust mask just doesn't cut it.
if you know your size I'll send you one

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES FINNALY ANOTHER ONE
Indeed m8, was about time indeed
YESSSSSSSSSSS
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeees
no.
I get more excited for these then for new seasons on Netflix.
Did you just pick up a wild tarantula?!?!
yes he did
I have never met a wild tarantula, IN the wild though... They are all so calm, I've never felt threatened by them.
+James King Yes, a wild tarantula is a tarantula in the wild. Common sense.
tho the are dangerous they do not bite unless hunting or being hunted
A play on words. I clearly meant wild as in uncontrolled, unrestrained.
Damn, there is something about old rusty tools and engines that just make my hands itch. I love fixing up and messing around with old rusty power tools and engine. And after you're done, you get to play with explosives too!
I'm telling you Cody, you're living the life my friend!
An attractive man digging caves and teaching me about life. 2 thumbs up!
Good god I would have shut down the mine after finding that spider!
he slept in the mine
I would've just blown it up a never come back to it
Plot twist: Cody secretly does a bit of spiderkeeping alongside his beekeeping
same XP
That's why his grandpa shut it down, I bet.
Cody I bet you might have a lot of your subscribers from the area that would be willing to help you out. I know I would. It'd be a crazy adventure to go mining and what not. It's all in the transformation that I love these kinds of things.
I would not want to put people in this sort of danger. It would be cool, but far too dangerous.
i live in central utah. So atleast some subscribers are from the area/state
Insurance. Would. Be. Insanely. Expensive. And if he didn't insure you, he'd get in a load of trouble.
Cody you better not die from your shenanigans or I will cry.
You're the bravest man I've seen. You're capability of picking up projects and getting things done is truly awe inspiring.

Or a useful tool...
You went all out there didnt you yomama
MiniHunter uhh huh
+MiniHunter yeah totally. Weeb.
tim martin I wank to it too ;)
was your grandfather pretty much an older version of you ?
Zyn Dipper funny how that works out eh?
Without a doubt one of my favorite channels, even the community is nice and worth reading their comments.
Really neat seeing the wheelbarrow settle into the dirt and into its wheel as your filled it up with tailings during the time lapse.
just bought a small air compresser its the size of a small cow
I love tarantulas and seeing you pick it up and move it rather than kill it made me so so happy
i love tarantulas tooo, they are the best. i didnt know they had the in like dakota or where the fudge he is.
Cody did you call it a "Triantular" lol?
No a Tarantula
That's what I thought he said until I realized it was a big ass spider 😂😂
Same
Utah accent is weird.
When he pronounced it that way, along with the fact that it was covered in rock dust I figured that a Triantular must be some fossilised prehistoric arachnid...
Then it freaking moves 5 inches from the camera lens!
Whoever gave the tip about the rag is a bloody genius, that is so much better :D
I just binge watched all your mine videos, and oh man, you are REALLY INTERESTING!! seriously, you and your life is fascinating.

Hey Cody Could you use Liquid oxygen and aluminum power. You made a small explosion with it in an older video. Would it be possible to mine with it?
that could work.
Two important questions:
Could you work with it safely and reliably?
Would it have the energy and suitable speed to break up the rock well?

+Cody'sLab The technicality that makes tannerite legal is that it's mixed at the site of use. Why couldn't you just use ANFO?
+Cody'sLab I would try the copper and aluminum powder mixture I would be willing to bet that'll work
+Cody'sLab is it possible to grow potatos in the mine
would you consider sending me one or two or those old bottles of penicillin? ive got a large collection of antique science and medical stuff, those would be so cool to add to my collection!

thing is, I need the compressor to run the sand blaster... lol
+Cody'sLab maybe borrow one? Btw, I just watched all the mine series, awesome videos :D I should have discovered your channel sooner!
But now you can watch so many videos one after another without having to wait for a new one :)
is it even worth it to do all that on the old beatup machine? Whats the price on one that works and is not killed?
If you sequence the explosives the latter ones might be blocked/suffocated from the dust
He did indeed sequence the explosives. So it's possible.
How does that work? All of the caps went off, some of the explosives went of in each charge.
Suffocated from dust? I think the fuse had an oxidising agent so the dust would affect it.
The fuse was not the issue. All the blasts went off. Just not a full burn.
If you guys listened, he said the explosive tubes were not a wide enough diameter, so the explosion couldn't propagate throughout the explosive material. It smothered itself mostly.
Wait was I the only one who was like wtf when he picked up that tarantula xd (we don't have those over here in the Netherlands)
als hij maar weet of die spin niet gevaarlijk is he :)
het is maar een spin
pak jij hem maar op dan!
Ik zou meteen naar de noordpool emigreren als ik een vogelspin in m'n huis vond
As far as I know, that spider is mostly harmless :)
I wish I had the money to come and help with the mine just for the fun of it that would be an awesome experience.

weight?
It is not a barrel, it is a barrow.

Nice! looking forward :D
+Burning Cake Jesus, why you want so many episode, you know you build them right? you don't give birth to them and wait for it to grow up lol
Regardless of how, i too, would love to see that being rebuilt.

Finally! Watched and liked all of your videos. Well, except a few hidden one what I couldn't find. Congrats for the five thousand subscribers. :)
Seriously thanks for putting in the bit where you rescued the tarantula!
Can you get some sort of ore from the mine and show us the process of extracting the metals from it? I think that would be really interesting!
he made one from silver he got out of the mine. its called making a silver ring or something like that
"ring from rock" i think is what it was called.
The silver for the ring was from another mine on the land.
What does he use this mine for? Just messing around?
just for fun as far as i know
In the far future this will be an atomic bunker ;)
ya form what I no he just likes doing stuff like this
Marijuana plants👳🏾😉
he is using it to store "science stuff'." He said it in the 1st episode i think
Did it really develop a fault? - it looks like a perfectly good hole in the ground to me.
It was dug there because of the.... oh I see what you did. lol :)
Cody, Please look inside the dresser! You might find something cool!
CODY KILL THE SPIDER its evile.
HeT
10:19 'Where the mine's collapsed' - the man has balls of steel...
really looking forward to seeing how you get that old air compressor working and using those old tools. fascinating stuff Cody! Keep up the good work
good looking compressor. good luck on parts, youre going to need it...
Idk how but this is very interesting been waiting for over a year
Watching*
Not on mobile devices =P
idk why im watching either but the mans interesting lol
+jama655 same lol
+Dylansgames Yeah you can G+ app
Pretty sure that's a Ford model A four cylinder. You should be able to get absolutely anything you need for it new or used. Should be stampings or casting marks on it somewhere. Fair chance that hose is still good, but you REALLY don't want to chance it. And as Tanzer below me said, get those tools, and your compressor serviced. You don't need to ruin them or have stuff explode.
Also, get that air tank hydrostatically tested. Few people actually bleed them when they're supposed to and that thing is old. Bet there's lots of water and oil and rust in the bottom. Be safe Buddy!
Air tanks like that rarely explode in my experience. They almost always just develop a pinhole and leak.
.... thats a straight 6.
Yea...didn't notice before.
Pretty much as far from a ford model A engine as those things go...
would useing a plasma touch to cut though the rocks be a good idea?
that could work if you could make them conductive of eletrisity.
i dont think it would be a bad idea to use a plasma cutter to make a dent in the mine but i think it would take some practice before you want to completely replace explosives with it. dont take this as fact but i heard that if you change the design of the top of your mine it would allow air to flow naturally into it. every foot or push the roof up or down and as theair begins to heat and cool it would naturally vent itself out.
+Cody'sLab correctly if im wrong but i believe its impossible to make plasma without adding electricity? solid- liquid- and gas can all undergo a physical change in nature by adding heat - electricity - or vibration but i believe for a gas to undergo the phtsical change to plasma requires electricity to be passing between atoms? unless you meant making the rock conductive?
+Cody'sLab is that the same as electricity? Either way I don't think these people are understanding how a plasma cutter works.
A Fly Since ive never owned or used a plasma cutter, i may misunderstand it but plasma is not the same as electricity and i have done my research on that. I believe strongly in the plasma/electric universe and ive spent many hours on the topic.
This might be one of the coolest TH-cam channels ever it's incredible all the cool stuff you can do!
this is my favourite series. please keep organising your videos in playlists it really help the viewers :)
it would be so cool if he added a minecart system to take the rubbel out
but a littlebit unpractical for the size of the mine and how long it will take to make it
Arjen Hartink well true but if he finds out he can use that mine for cool things and decides to continue he can make the mine wider and simple engineering can make a mine cart sytem no problem
You know this is real life, and not Minecraft?
+The Raven you know minecarts are actually a thing right?
he means you cant just "place down" a cart and tracks, very expensive and time consuming.
when was the mine with all the cool shit in it abandoned? how old is the equipment
1960's
+Cody's Lab careful not to drop tarantulas too far from the ground or you might injury or kill them, their exoskeletons dont absorb impact all that well and internal injuries usually follow when they fall from a great height and some are very quick when they want to be, despite their sluggish strolls
?
What are you mining?
Hey Cody, What are you supposed to do if a charge doesn't go off? I would assume pulling it out and walking it out of the mine would be unsafe? It would be pretty neat if you gave us some safety tid-bits like this in your videos if you wanted to :D
Pulling the fuse out will render the explosives safe.
Alright, thank you for responding.
Waiting about an hour or 2 or 3 or just never going back in there o_0
lol
Man I can't wait for the next one, this is my favorite series that I watch on youtube
Best channel on TH-cam. Keep up the hard work Cody, you're a champ
I really enjoy your videos :) Much love from Newfoundland Canada
What's his profession ?
lol
I think he is a student atm
+Bjorlam yep
+Skate Logic lol true
+Erkin Ünsal I would say mineral findinb
is... is that an iphone as a helmet camera?
light
is ... is that an iphone as a helmet light?
wow don't have to be a smart ass about correcting
*smartass
It's debatable.
I guess "mucking it out" is a technical mining term (hehe)?
yes actually.
+Cody'sLab hi
yep it is....and the machines we use to do it are called muckers
+Cody'sLab I've noticed the soft ground ur working with and just a tip if the mine isn't to deep make some air vents and then put arch support
H
I find the whole mining process from start to finish very interesting keep em coming
I just found this guy and I have no idea why I haven't found him before... This is awesome!!!
Could your mine collapse?
Only at the front with the clay, in the back it is rather jointed but I dont see it coming down unless provoked, like setting off a large explosion.
That was the least scary tarantula i have ever seen (still horrifying) So there's that=)
+Cody'sLab Ok i think you know what you're doing.
he toched a spider! If I saw that thing I would have gotten on the nope train to fuckthatville
OK WHO WAS THE ONE PERSON TO DISLIKE IT
+Lord of Stars "Justice rapes from above!"
Jorrit Vos lol!
Hey Cody, a good idea to help get the smoke/dust out faster would be to makeshift something to connect your air mattress pump you brought over and connect it to your air ventilation tube and the air moving towards the far end would in a sense bounce off and push the smoke outwards. Obviously there could be a more efficient processes like hooking up a leaf blower or something of that sort, you should give it a try!
Hello fro the Forest of Dean in the UK. Stumbled across your mining videos today. Very impressive! It looks like you arnt far off needing a very basic narrow gauge tram system to get it the muck out. If I was on the right side of the Atlantic I would be offering my laboring!
Good luck and dig safe!
Who is watching this a bit late like in 2017
2018 for me, Cody's videos are great. It's my dream to have lots of land to do cool stuff with like that.
Gaming with Mikey! Try 2019 lol
that diffuse lighting hack really works to widen the FOV ! And wow , bees run in Cody's family too :3
This is probably my most favorite series on TH-cam
very good Cody from Australia I love watching your show
Hey Cody! My name is Nick I'm 14 from West Valley, Utah. I find your videos very educational and entertaining. I love your videos channel and I hope that one day we might be able to meet. Keep up the great work ❤️
It sounds like your grandfather was a incredible dude. I'm sure he had some great stories to tell.
Dude you are so awesome. Living the dream. So creative and fun.
Great Video Cody. I remember subbing to this channel at I think about 12k subs its great to see you have so many subs now, keep up the interesting videos.Cant wait to see you're drill and compressor in action and please make sure to film the rebuild of that old compressor. Cheers m8..
The bees and the mining episodes are by far my favourites. I find it very interesting and fascinating how you are living a "minecraft life" like a character in a farming/economy RPG :D
First person I've ever heard say Viewers instead of "Fan"
kudos to you Cody !
I love watching the wheelbarrow bend slightly as it gets filled on the timelapse.
Oh wow! What great finds! Wonderful grandpa, too -- hope you can use that air hose.
PLEASE don't run the air compressor any longer -- replace the bearings (or whatever) to minimize the cost to get it running.
Lovin this series! Keep em comin. It would be awesome to see a vid of you overhauling that compressor too.
the rag over the light was such an amazing idea!
I like the commitment u put in these videos for your viewer's
OH MY GOWD! YOU PICKED UP A TARANTULA! YOUR INSANE! I honestly would run out of the mine right then and there.
Nice compressor .you can definitely rebuild it but dont short cut anything.i rebuild tractors with a buddie and its so much sweeter when done correctly thanks for sharing be safe in that hole in the ground
For some reason I love watching you dig this mine, its awesome you find time to put so much effort into making a video like this also I would have left that mine and never looked back If I saw a spider lime that.
Cody congratulation on almost reaching 500k I am exited to watch your channel continue to grow and some day I hope to see you receive a diamond play button
Awesome, a before and after picture was just what I desired.
Looking forward to the drilling now. I'm sure a 4 or 5 HP contractor compressor would run that hammer drill. At some point the compressor will reach equilibrium with the air consumption of the hammer drill and that's the pressure it will run at.
Looks like your mining efforts could be about ready to take off! That compressor could do a lot of work for you if you can get it in good order again.
Something about digging and mining always struck my fancy when I was a child; I would have killed to have mines on the property like that. Really enjoying the series!
Another great video. Just...awesome job Cody. Keep up the cool content!
I just started watching your videos, awesome work. Suggestion on your blasting technique though, the ANFO you're making is much more than sufficient including minimal critical diameter to propagate your explosion. What you're lacking is proper stemming of your bore hole, add a stemming plug. They're cheap plastic flower looking like parts, you can end up using 1/4 of your current powder for much better pressure build-up. If you have any questions shoot me a PM and I can suggest many other items to make that easier on you.
Cody i've been watching your channel for a while now and I never really comment. But I just want to say that I love your videos and the effort you put into them. Especially this series keep doing what you're doing I love it.
