Its a blast to play with. But you will find out there is a 100s of other uses for it. I can eliminate and entire tobacco barn full of wasps in 10 min from the ground with water and dish shop. Its stupidly amazing .

      @sixtyfiveford  หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      People are wasteful but it's a great way to get some good deals. It's a catch-22 though. If you don't know how to fix it, the cost of labor to have it fixed generally exceeds the cost of the item. This style of living can't maintain itself.

    I paid $40 for a 1995 Whirlpool gas dryer 8 years ago. My wife said it was the dumbest thing I ever bought. Our 2 year old Maytag was not heating and five of our kids were still living at home. I had to do something. That thing has paid for itself 50 times over. Since then I have had to put an igniter in it once, and a belt one other time. I love that old thing.

      @@sixtyfiveford Yep, our gas heating boiler here in the UK is 20+ years old, all the gas fitters said whatever you do don't replace it with a modern one, they may be slightly more efficient but so much electronics to go wrong! Only thing it's needed is a new exhaust blower fan, 20 pounds on ebay, and 10 mins to fit :)

    I absolutely love the quality of your work. I am too old and lazy to create pieces of art the way you do !! My new garage is so big that I could run a gas grill for heat in an area without the fear of CO2 poisoning. I do like doing it cheap, but I bought a NEW 20,000 btu propane heater that mounts on the wall for $45 at an auction. Anything to knock the chill off is welcome. Keep up the good work and TaterTot said to tell Ginger Merry Christmas !!

    Highly underrated channel. I've watched you for years but a video you had from years ago saved my bacon. Had 2 stripped bolts on a trans pan that was leaking bad. 1 I was able to drill and tap a bigger bolt. Another was in a hard to reach spot which would have me remove a bunch of supports holding the trans which I really wanted to avoid. Remembered a vid I saw on your channel years ago about copper wire to help get some grab on the bolt and it worked like a charm. No more leaks. Thanks for the invaluable info man your solid.

      Don't need it. A forced air flame puts out zero carbon monoxide. And it's under the 40,000 BTU limit for safe use indoors that's put in place for commercial vent free propane/natural gas heaters/fireplaces to maintain good air quality inside a home. This would never be used in a home though. This would be a drafty shop/garage.

    A propane heater produces moisture (H2O) to the air when burning; much more than a diesel heater. It means that your tools will get rusty easier. You should try to remove moisture some how from the shop. Nice project anyhow! 👍

      You're never going to notice the moisture unless you live in a sealed plastic bag. Generally, the moisture level in winter time is significantly lower than summer. So The miniscule amount of moisture added to the air is great. Moisture also has the benefit of carrying heat much better. So it will feel warmer at a lower temperature.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Generally, I would just drill the hole and then use a pipe from the backside and a ball peen hammer from the front side to round it. In this scenario I used a Christmas tree/ stepper drill bit in the drill press. I used a lot of force and it deformed the metal inwards as it cut. So it gave me a natural rolled edge in. I showed a teeny tidbit of how I make the decals but didn't want to focus on it as it's in an entire process by itself. I essentially use a graphics design program(Adobe illustrator) to design them from scratch and then they get imported into a decal cutting machine called a Cricut. This cuts them out of vinyl then the rest is history.

    Any time ya use forced air,it should NEVER shut off on any limits,only room thermostat. If it does the airflow is not sufficient or there is too much flow. Good job

    The humanity! The DEADLY propane fumes, the birds and squirrels! LOL, just kidding. Another awesome garage heater. I'd love to have a somewhat compact 120 volt forced air heater for my garage. I don't want to run 240 into the garage as I've already ran two separate 240 runs for my hot tub and my CB radio amplifier. I had a Mr. Heater natural gas heater that I plumbed into my furnace gas line in the garage, but that heater really stinks up the garage to where it made me nauseous. Not sure why, but it did. It was set up for natural gas and not propane.

      I do find If a heater is too large for the shop, it tends to burn up a lot of oxygen. At one time I had a 200k BTU kerosene/diesel heater. That thing would heat up my shop in minutes, but it made me nauseous. I had to sell it. But for years I've been using a 50,000 BTU kerosene/diesel heater and sometimes even a second one the same size and never an issue. These natural gas/ propane dryers put out about 22,000 BTU and don't seem to phase me in the slightest.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Math says it should be right at 19 hours run time straight on one 20 lb propane tank. I find that it heats up my shop. 20x 20 in about 45 minutes from 30-40°f to 60ish which feels great. I do have almost 17-ft tall ceilings in the rafters so most of the heat tools up there. Putting a ceiling fan up in the rafters helped mix that air back down . It is blowing 100°+ air directly at me 10ft away though so I don't need to heat up the entire shop.

    • @sixtyfiveford
      @sixtyfiveford  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The electric is the simplest and quietest but most expensive to run; $0.60-0.75/hr if I recall. Natural gas is by far the cheapest at around $0.20/hr and depending on propane prices it is around 0.50/hr. So my favorite is Natural gas.

    I don't see anyone else saying it ,so I could be wrong. But normally a dryer vents to outside. Burning propane creates carbon monoxide. For a long time I thought propane was indoor safe because I've seen propane forklifts used indoors. But I recently found out they have a special exhaust system to make them safe, and I can't use a propane camping stove indoors. Please be careful. Don't die!

      Yeah A forced air flame produces zero carbon monoxide because it provides plenty of oxygen for a complete burn. You only get carbon monoxide when you have an incomplete burn. Things like engines are designed to be run a little bit on the rich side to run cooler and therefore create enormous amounts of carbon monoxide. A flame from a stove can only pull in so much oxygen by itself and therefore never completely burns. Dryers are generally vented outdoors for two reasons: One is the moisture that is created and dumped into the home is not desirable ( Note that the majority of dryers made are electric and are vented outdoors), second as a quadruple safety measure in case at least 3 other measures fail it prevents CO from being dumped into the home.
      Propane/lpg unvented ( vent free) heaters are considered safe for indoor/home use up to 40,000btu. This is roughly half the legal limit (22,000btu). This is because they consume oxygen and could create a low oxygen environment. This is nearly impossible at under 40,000btu, hence the limit. You would have to be in a completely sealed 10x10 room and not open it for a couple days straight.
