Harsh – you’re a genius! And there’s a LOT to say for those “ancient ways” of doing equipment!
gorgeous workmanship
Like seeing how your stoves are made. Can I buy just the squirrel cage part and use the burner from my Bongo Pro? Thanks Harsh!
I like that part where you tell us what the ball part of the hammer is for. Reminds me of my shop teacher. The ball part is used to shape rivets right? Arrggh, I wish I could work with my hands instead of being stuck in front of the PC all day.
@boomer00000 Its “dyed” in the wool. It has a touch to do with dyeing the wool when it is still yarn. Instead of building the garment and then dyeing it. But “Dyed in the wool” is also an expression that means a touch has an inherant or natural property.
what does died in the wool mean?
You do such nice work, harsh. Thanks for taking the time to share with all.
Thanks Tiny, Loved this one. Flash backs of My Dad in his shop ; )
loved it, wish I had a workshop like yours! thanks Harsh!
thanks for the video and the inspiration to make a touch!
I am SOOOO looking forward to my squirrel cage whenever it shows up!! I’ll be sitting under a mighty and gorgeous Redwood tree thought about ya harsh!!
Sounds like you need a rivet setter like I used in metal shop. It’s just a block of metal with a slight depression that is you hit against the rivet instead of peening. The rivet setter will give you a nice slightly rounded head that looks like factory made instead of just smashed down.
With all your equipment you could just make one.
Have you every thought about putting a straight knurl on the shaft and pressing it into the hole? The knurls grap the base aluminum pretty hard and the press break down (and tolerences) are pretty low.
@Tamerlin Agreed!!
im saving my pennies to get some of your ultra cool gear. Thanks for the vids… Its so nice to see creature beings still working in the traditional fashion.
Those of us who have stoves and pots that you built appreciate all the hard work
I made self brackets in manufacturing shop and I used rivets and smashed them in with a ball peen hammer and filed it smooth.
