why not use a $30.00 dollar texture paint gun and 2-inch rubber elbow to get the angle right I don't need to reinvent the wheel!!!!! It also has an adjustable spray nozzle and works 200% better and is low air Wal-board sells it at Home Depot with the drywall tools.
Darwin, remember I mentioned a product that can be sprayed on a surface called Cork Spray? You just invented a unit that would apply that with ease. The unit that is used for Cork Spray costs about $4000.00 and requires a big air compressor. I need to research this to see how it works. Awesome idea my friend.
right on, we needed that. ever thought of doing in on cardboard or other materials... i would consider testing that with 3d printer for home construction in the tree of a life innovation center, we are looking for the budget to finance this.
Now put a handle on the black pipe to help control it better .. And possibly a 6 inch piece of longer pipe for spray nozzle for comfort .. Looks and works good ya'll .. Will this spray aircrete or just stucco ??
Works exactly like a handheld drywall texture sprayer that have been around for 30 years or more. The drywall texture sprayer has a hopper and uses air also, they are less than $100. Did you try one? Is yours built differently?I love your channel.
Maybe try a plastic drywall texture gun, same principal, not very expensive. Already built, adjustable spray pattern, low cfm, lighter weight, bigger hopper, with bigger opening (if it starts getting too heavy, don't fill it all the way).
hmmmm how about when you mix it to a peanut butter consistency... then add sakrete flow control... which is a plasticizer that will really liquify the mix making blow easier and will not change cure time or strength... ?
I like this guy. One of the most hard-working TH-cam content creators that I know. He doesn't just review products, which I find a bit lazy of many creators. I might as well turn on the telly and watch QVC instead. No, this fella actually makes stuff !! He got me interested in aircrete and, now, he comes up with this. I hope to own one of them very soon. Thank you !
Aloha HDC, You have just created a great avenue for a hundred projects! Keep it coming. Dome forms are a huge step closer to creation. Thank You, Thank You!!!
when the answer in parabole is cool, it is a good teaching 4 sure. that 4 feeder guy's are doing a good job... lol with the breath of life and all... lol source code... lol
Then we wouldnt hace a Rube Goldberg video. Besides, it would be even smarter to go to harbor freight and get a texture hopper with only one nozzle that doesnt require a 1000 dollar compressor.
That was so funny that i laughed and laughed and laughed some more, after seeing that one tiny smidgen of concrete that landed on his face, that resulted in the creation of a DIY Marlyn Monroe stylish mole on his face. Ahahahaha!! No seriously, that is a very groovy idea really, the walk through showing people the possibilities that can be achieved even on a low money budget, and your effort to find such a solution that works with lower pressure systems. Thanx for sharing. Keep the rock alive!
Your wife asked a couple of questions that I had of my own she asked him right about the time I wanted him answered so that was good I liked seeing this side of you guys and also I thought the texture of the final product toward the end there look pretty good just by itself I don't think I would have troweled it out.
I said the exact same thing. I like that rough look, it would be great for roofing if you collect the water, it would filter out the water on the way down. Very interesting.
Hey y'all! This popped up again, so I watched it again. Ya know, while I was watching this time, I think I like the splatter pattern better than it smoothed flat. It brings some character to the panels, used for a shed or house siding of course. Hope y'all had a Happy Thanksgiving! 🙏❤🇺🇸👣🤗
So freakin' exciting! I like the effect of your StuccoMate invention without any troweling; that pattern looks really great just as is! I'm thinking about buying one, and I don't even have my land yet! Keep up the GREAT work!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
Adding an insert is an excellent idea - thanks! Have you thought about adding a small but useful side handle near the feed end? Maybe a loop 'D' handle? Think fence post tool where you have two opposite slid handles to ram the post. Just use smaller, lightweight handles...
Seems like a lot of the material ends up on the ground because its falling out of the outlet rather than getting caught in the air stream and shot onto the wall. I wonder if a second air nozzle under the spray outlet would shoot the stucco dropping out and get it on the wall rather than letting it fall to the ground?
No, it all ends in the trash. Hes got a real one right there he could use as a pattern to make it out of sheetmetal junk, some copper waterline tubing, and that airgun instead of pvc.
Marshalltown as well as Goldblatt Tools. Make a hopper fun you would like much better than this. And it’s under $100. They are used for texturing drywall as well as applying stucco. Check it out.
Idea with refillable container was so clever and convenient! I thing that leaking occured when you have applied pressure. Maybe you should use in that place of connection pcv plumbing pipe connection piece with rubber seal - cartrige would fit better with a sealing and better stay in place. Then your oryginal idea wouldn't have to change.
I bought a stucco sprayer for 100. It's gotta have a lot of air pushing it. I messed with a gun sort of like you have here a few years back that worked ok. Used a bleach bottle upside -down to feed the stuff.
@Honey Do I made mine a while before this video. Use a 90 degree connection rather and drill a hole on the outer bend towards the exit nozzle end for air connection. This allows for a far better flow rate and you can use smaller and smaller ends that allows for better pressure buildup and flow through and you can easily add the hopper to the other end of the 90 degree piece. This way is much cheaper and much faster and allows you to fit a longer pvc "nozzle" on the exit hole to be able to aim better. So instead of 8-10 pieces this allows for 4 pieces only and is more efficient and less waste.
@@BlueOriginAire I believe my explanation was good enough don't you think? I am sure you can puzzle it together from what I have explained, don't need a video for something so simple.
I have looked everywhere for you guys on the Internet and then asking in the other channels if anybody knows what happened to you guys. I miss the honeydew Carpenter and Mrs. honeydew!
Absolutely great idea! Looks a lot less cumbersome than that heavy thing you were working with at the last workshop. Great application density. It didn't pile up in one spot.
Here’s a thought, I’m not sure it would work. If you attached wire lathe to the outside of your shipping container and then sprayed on your aircrete, wouldn’t that provide some needed insulation for your shipping container. You could then use your trowel to smooth it out for a nice finish. Let me know if you think that would work. I’m thinking of building a container home, and using aircrete blocks for the open spans. Thanks.
The only think about this I would change is to get rid of that blowgun and use one I can mount near a sturdy handle with a flex line or a bent copper line or something. It just looks like the first thing to break is where the blowgun connects to the body of the hopper and a good sturdy and ergonomic handle would make it easier to hold longer. This is really cool tho man I don’t mean to knock it just my thoughts on improvements. Some kind of securable stand that the gun comes out of would be good for loading it by yourself also.
Well done hey very well where can I get my hands on the plans to build my own foam machine and hand held sprayers please I am in the home improvement line in South Africa
Awesome video. I enjoy watching your process of development. You are lucky to have such a supportive partner. Great tool even I could make that work and have the application. Keep them coming.
great texture use a hand held texture gun like shooting texture on a wall love your vidois wats the numbers on a 2ft x 4 ft pannel would love to try this system
This is awesome. Also, I've been meaning to say that I like your hat. Thank u 4 ur time & research 4 affordable inventions 4 the working class. And , as always, I love watching & listening 2 the banter between u & ur wife. U guys r so cute together. What a team.
Wow.. it finally worked.. anyway 2 years ago I gos a stucco mortar blower that was manufactured in Belarus for lest than $100; single nozzle that is very much like what you built, but is disappeared from any source that I can find on the INTERNET, so yes, you show a good alternative.. I'm using it to spray on a layer of light type white wash (silica sand, vermiculite heavily limed with 1% borax mortar) based coating onto the basement rafters and limestone rock walls in an old farm house , for mold and fire retardant.
Very nice inventing there. You're a regular Da Vinci! I kinda like the texture pattern before you knock it down. Or you could just gently knock down the tops of the blobuoles and make a 1920s stucco pattern.... :)
Hi HDC, Great make! Thumb up & shared! Can you talk / vid more on the compressor used? In your opinion, the least cost and effective for this setup? Thanks for inventing and sharing! Keep 'em coming!
Brilliant! They designed those massive hoppers/compressors, I guess, to reduce man hours but they've gotta be heavy...tough to work for hours being extended out away from the body. Great work, thank you!
Do you lay awake at night thinking of these things?! I have watched a number of your videos and am totally impressed with the ideas you come up with and make work. This reminds me of a wall texture applicator, but on steroids. Way to go my man. Great video. Thank you, take care and stay well.
As in all DIY, it's all a matter of trials until you perfect it. It's also nice u have a perfect mate in ur trials & making nice coments & suggestions. Thanks & keep it up.
I have thought of similar ideas with a feeder hose for the stucco. Either pressure or gravity fed. 5 gallon bucket on top of a tall ladder platform. Or a tripod lift, very moveable. A small verion of the cement buckets they use on high rise buildings with cranes. Might need a funnel cone on the bottom before the feeder hose. Pressue could happen from something like a cordless drill, allthread and a plywood plunger. Perhaps air or hydraulic driven also. Simplest would be gravity.

The holes may be too small.
The design is different.

Fingers crossed. Might pop the bubbles though.
and maybe square off the end so it can scoop out of trough better
@@MrRockrobstr Yeah, maybe find a square/round, plastic downspout fitting that would fit and square off the top.

Hey John I’m trying to purchase a gun from him. I can’t find how to do this lol Any ideas?
You wife is smart. She offers great advise and asks good questions like, “What’s a blue banana?”
I think aircrete awesome I'd like to build a 1500 square foot house out of that stuff
The Blue Banana is a bar in the movie Pretty Woman. There's a line Julia Roberts says referencing how big the Blue Banana is....lol🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌🍌

how about buying a texture sprayer for drywall mud and using it for spraying aircrete it looks about the same consistency
I bought a 2 pack of stainless steel sprayers for $80 on amazon. Don’t waist your time on a pvc diy sprayers
I like just watching you guys interact... "I just like watching you some times I forget to record"... glad I found you....Thanks

Make a cheap pvc geodesic dome wrap it in either saran wrap or shipping wrap, then spray on aircrete, voila!!!
Wouldn't just a cheap Hopper work? The kind you use for drywall
Looks like the unrestricted top of the 4" feeder pipe
Let's it breath better

He says they r 300 bux. I look it up. 60bux then same one for 30.
He also said it requires big compressor

It’s called a hopper gin n you do not need a large compressor.
I wander how durable the aircret would it stand up for a shower tube set
really nice. maybe put some nozzle guard in the front to control the dispersement i think. well done.
You are a good guy. Honest and true. I enjoy your videos. You do great work
Why not use a drywall hopper then?
You can get a stucco sprayer and compressor for $100
Just use a walboard texture gun and thin out the stucco mix
I tried that, doesn't work. Thanks HDC
I couldn't find the df on your store. Do you still seek the plans? $360 australian is a bit to much im afraid.

Its too thick for spraying. Need a air intake on the top
I love how you answered her question and explained how to use a extension with a tapered tap. Your a good teacher. 👍

What a great idea, I guess it will work with plaster too?
Fantastic great to see more making of equipment 👍👍👍👍 keep it up now for the ice cream maker replacement 😂🤷
Drywal texture gun does the same thing.
i wonder. if you could lag the underside of a roof?
Just liked and subscribed. Well deserved.
