THIS IS A VIDEO OF ME USING THE TOOL AT MY REMOTE NORTHERN CAMP

Great job Steve on making your first crack pipe! Should come in handy.
HAHA a canuck crack pipe too. I will show it action . LOL
Cut the sds bit and weld a deep socket to the end of it and call it a day.
Good rod driver ! That'll work well at camp.
Yes sir and I'll try it out on a curb stone first this fall and show how it works. I have never tried it before.
Electric toilet paper dispenser.
Gotta love anybody with the creativity to pull out the welder, and make something out of steel.
HAHA Dave your real close. LOL Yes making our own stuff is very rewarding . Cheers
Steve, that tool is for driving rods up to 1" dia. into the ground. Example: electrical ground rods, or it could be used for pounding holes in my wife's homemade doughnuts. I've got to get up earlier Sunday mornings. Most everybody has beat me to the punch. From now on I'm getting up at 2:00 AM to watch your video. Steve, it's 9:00 am and half a dozen guys have commented 7 hours ago. That don't leave much wiggle room to be first. But the "Tie goes to the runner". Just having fun. KIT d
HAHA you're right Doug and you're never late to the show. LOL
Steve you are well grounded. That pin looks like a two2 sided clevis pin.
Being well grounded remember that they are all in the ground.
But you are not drilling a well but you are pounding into the ground. Good vid Brother.
Yes sir your well grounded to know a grounding rig whey you see it. Cheers buddy and you have a great day.
Good idea on the plug welds. Until I saw you do that I thought to myself "self... that thing is gonna vibrate itself to pieces".
A ground rod pounder is my guess also. I'm eager to find out.
Your right and later this year I will show it in action for the first time. Well done Bruce
looks like a more fancy ground rod driver than i used lol
HAHA yes Chase you guessed right . I'll make a vid showing it in use.
It's a fishing lure to put on the prop of a outboard motor to call in Sasquatch or a Great White Shark into fresh water
HAHA oh boy you know your stuff Cliff . LOL
the best guess would be for removing the core from something like an apple no clue lol
HAHA close but no cigar. LOL
Yup... something to hammer with, but the washer has me confused a little, .... "ying yang" metal ... ha ha ha!
Its definitely to hammer with and I will show it in action later this year. Cheers buddy
I think it's to hammer stakes into the ground Buddy, Cheers Dizzy.
You're wright buddy and in the fall I will try it out. Cheers !!!
I thought you were making some kind of shock absorber... but a rod driver (as others have guessed) seem to make more sense.
Yes its a rod driver and you will see it here on the first try. Cheers !!!
ya, i like stake pounder answer. Hopefully the wing wang metal holds up haha
Yep it is and we're going to try it out in the fall. I have since painted it to make it much stronger. LOL
I had a few ideas but they would have been wrong. I read through the comments. Will be a good curb video. Thanks for sharing Steve!
It's going to be a while before I get caught up on my chores to try it out but it has to be better than a hammer. Cheers buddy.
Very creative! For those of us who don't have all the tools, I used my Bosch SDS hammer drill to drive rebar stakes simply using an existing bit and a short piece of PVC pipe as a sleeve. I just held the pipe in my hand and controlled the drill with the other.
That's a great idea Ron , we'll done ✔
Hey there,
I’m very keen to try this too as I don’t currently have a welder. Could you give some more details on how you built this? Was the pipe closed with a fitting? Did you attach a drill bit to the pvc pipe?
@@makerspersona5456 Much simpler! Nothing to fabricate. I just cut a piece of PVC a few inches shorter than my bit, slipped it over the rebar a few inches, inserted the bit from above (attached to the Bosch). So at this point the pipe (say 6" long) is containing both the rebar and the bit, keeping them both in line with each other. I hold the pipe in one hand and the roto-hammer in the other. Pull the trigger and the hammer starts driving the rebar. As the rebar is being driven, I keep lowering the pipe and the hammer until the pipe is touching the surface of whatever I am driving the rebar into, (in my case it was a railroad tie. Now the rebar has a couple inches or so to go, and the hammer drives it the rest of the way. As long as the pipe is shorter than the bit/chisel/whatever, it will drive the rebar the rest of the way, or even deeper until the chuck meets the pipe. The pipe is just a simple sleeve to keep the bit and rebar in line so the bit doesn't bounce off to the side. The diameter of the pip should be just enough for the bit or the rebar to fit into, which ever is larger. Hope that helps!
@@ronroberts8036 that’s genius thanks. Would you mind sharing a link to the bit you used? Also what size pvc if you don’t mind?
Those weights must be handy! I need to make up a couple of those...
From the comments it looks like my guess was correct... rod driver. Thumb's up!
Yes sir- The weights come in handy so often , make a pair and show them , more should know about them too. Cheers
look out Terry (txsviking)! competition for your welding channel! Nice job Steve. hook it into the impact hammer and see how it works!
Terry has nothing to fear from my welding except comedy LOL Yes in the fall I will hook it up and see how it does. Great to have around the farm too.
Steel rod hammer attatchment. Or if im wrong potato masher for making moonshine mash. HE HE HE HE.
There ya go your on the ball. Congrats !!!!!
I know exactly what that is. My Dr. used that on me during my colonoscopy. It's used to make a clear path for a camera.
Moose Knuckle you know your stuff. LOL Always glad to see a fellow hoser on the channel. Take off Eh.
There is nothing better than a bit of good noise from the WORKING ;-) Hehe
+What next, sunshine? HAHA yes yes yes
Either u going to drive a ground rod , or making a crude lawn plug aerator . lol
I knew you would know what it's for and I will show it driving in some rods in the fall.
Tool to drive tent pegs in Steve….We use to drive ground rod with electric impact hammer....but a big one....did the job just fine and you could even bend them rods if you hit a rock....can`t wait to see but have read the comments already....±CHEERS
HAHA Tent pegs is right big tent pegs. LOL Cheers Gator
Good job on the homebrew driver
Thanks you - this is me trying it out LOL - th-cam.com/video/9vkrjCy96ic/w-d-xo.html
the weather here in West Tn 100 to 106 hope your enjoying some cooler weather. rod pounder.
Its screaming hot up here - up to 85 deg. , not sure I could take your heat. WOW thats hot. LOL
This is what I call creativity :-)) ;-) Rock on, Steve!
Thanks you Simone. !!!
:-)) jay
I think I remember that log splitter.
I am guessing it is a spring loaded punch for tapping.....wait ...I don't know now I'm watching more.
HAHA I'll show ya in the fall I have a small job using it.
The tools you used for holding the pieces while welding are called "Welders Third Hand" here in the states anyway. Nice homemade tool.
+James Zivny Thanks James the third hands are a must have in my shop. The tool has worked out great so far. Cheers
The missus is gonna love it
Power plunger for the new outhouse? A high fibre diet is another solution 😆
Well we got that all covered then. LOL I will display it in the fall , I have a small job to try it out on.
Tool for putting in grounding rods.
Congrats buddy you are right and I will try it out on a concrete curb I have to reinforce this fall. Cheers
Swear to god i'm gonna record Tom yelling HEY STEVE! from the couch when he hears your voice off my computer...it's comin Steve
HAHA he loves us canucks EH. LOL
Bruddah - Another Awesome Video !!
Oh BTW, your homemade constant flowing beer shotgunner tube is gonna be awesome!! Just keep the squirrels away. Those buggah's can really drink even if they hold their beer.
HAHA wait to you see it in action. LOL
Excellent Engineering - it works! :-)
Works great Curtis 👍
A ground rod pounder
Yes sir, a sodbuster would know for sure what it is:) Cheers buddy
"Might box". I like that. I was going to give you a thumbs down for making me think but okay, I'll try and guess...if your drill has a hammer action then it will be some kind of a driver. Now I'll look at the comments and see if I'm close. LOL
HAHA yes to pounds in ground rods and rebar. I have a curb I want to reinforce so I will make a vid showing how it works. This hammer drill is the best tool my wife ever bought for me.
Nice vid, guess your gone smash some iron deep in the ground with that one!
Tha same style is used for fencing but often with a gas/petrol hammer.
Why flux core instead of shieldgass?
Yes sir you're correct, my first try will be with rebar. I have been using flux core for many years and it's a bit smoky but far more penetration than with regular mig wire and I can use it in windy conditions without the need for a bottle of gas. The wire is more expensive but works great for what I do. Sheet metal and bodywork stay with a bottle. Cheers buddy
STEVE ROB outdoor welding sucks with gass.
I'l use 100% Co2 gass on my welder that works fantastic for me and don't cost a fortune!
The tools used for welding is called a 3rd. Hand
Real close but its a steel rod pounder 😅
@@SteveRobReviews lol I meant the piece used to hold things together as you welded it lol
@@michaelhale4041 Well what about the 4th one? Mrs. smarty pants...
Tent stake or 40 penny spike-tomato stake driver,,,,,,,,something along those lines
Yes that would work too as well as grounding rods and rebar. Ill try it out on some rebar first. Cheers and thanks for taking a look.
I have no idea
You should definitely know LOL a landscaper would use this when installing PT ties in the ground . I will make a vid showing it in use. HAHA You definitely need one then :)
Ground rod driver
Yes sir your correct. I used it up at my northern camp and I couldn't have done it without it. HAHA that was a frustrating vid to do last summer LOL
It’s a Ground Rod Driver!
100% Correct 👍 this is me using it JP 😅😅 th-cam.com/video/9vkrjCy96ic/w-d-xo.html
It's for rolling out your bacon
Close its for punching out the holes for the Tim Horton's donuts :)
that is for taking corn off of the cob
I bet it would and real fast too. LMAO
HAHAHA
It's a too to core an apple. :-)
HAHA you got it . LOL
Toothbrush holder
HAHA I will show it in action in the fall, crap the fall is almost here. LOL
Can you make me one? I will pay for it.
LOL its real easy to make or they do sell them too online or at your big hardware stores.
Grounding rod driver
Yes and rebar too. 👍
You have me stun, there's some funny answers below. ?????????
HAHA its a rod pounder , I will try it out on some rebar I have to drive into the ground. LOL ya them were some fancy guesses
Ground Rod Driver Bit
Correct Tom and here is me using it LOL th-cam.com/video/9vkrjCy96ic/w-d-xo.html
Heavy duty toilet paper hanger?
That would probably work too. LOL I will demonstrate how it works once the outhouse is finished. LOL
Why not just use a 1/2 drive, extra deep 1" diameter socket (or smaller) with a 1/2 shank socket adapter? probably $15 between the two pieces (I have a 3/8 impact drill. How many 3/8 to 1/2 adapters do I have in my tool box ... unused ... ever?)
Glen it has to fit in the tool and not fall apart from vibration . Interesting idea but it would still be best to weld it solid. Cheers
@@SteveRobReviews I guess I was thinking the "impact driver" options in each... they're supposed to be able to keep up with an impact wrench... ? (spring loaded detent ball holds socket onto adapter?)
Impact driver moves in a circular movement as opposed to a rotary hammer moves in and out. 👍
Thats genius!
Princess auto. You must be a canadian too eh?
Yes sir bud. Cheers
It's is a pleasure Ade for your sex robots or it's design to remove pine needles from clock clusters
HAHA you're real close sounds like you have used one before. LOL
STEVE ROB not only do I use them I sell them lol
HAHA
removing haemorrhoids?
HAHA and then some . LMAO
Thats a fuse
Correct 😅
You taught me a valuable lesson here, never watch one of your videos again. Not into game playing or riddles.
Well there ya go lesson learned - see ya.
