Branch Shredder Machine - Wood chipper build

I was a mechanical engineer for 40 years, but I still learn a ton when watching your great videos.

I doesn't matter if it works or not, just seeing the work, the craftmanship, the skill, it's enough for me and why i love your videos and come back for more! Thank you

Beautiful!!! I wanted to build a chipper years ago. Had parts together also. But the very very best part of your project is I did not see any parts being cut out with a GRIMDER!!!!! Very good job!!!!!!

This is how I started my business.... No fancy tools, just be creative and do good work and good things will come. Awesome video!

Working as good as expected or not right off the bat, still these are mad skills you have! A very slick build!

Изо всех самодельщиков на YouTube ты самый крутой,заводское качество всех самоделок.У нас про таких как ты говорят "мастер -золотые руки".

I like the concept. I love your creativity and the fact that the stuff you build will certainly outlast a commercially bought machine. Patiently waiting for the fix video.

Dude!! your projects can survive a nuclear blast! the thickness of the pieces in your designs is impressive! they must weight a ton!!! made to last! Bravo! 👏

Sir, I wish I could even imagine how to design as well as you! And to top that off, your craftsmanship is wonderful. Bravo!

It's always a learning experience to watch a project that failed. Glad you uploaded it.

It does not matter if it did not work from the first trial. It is a beautiful piece that can be improved. Great job!

I love that you share the projects that doesn’t turn out as expected. I look forward to seeing you improve it!

I agree with some of the posts about a thicker flywheel, but your flat stock to deflect your wood chips need to be angle iron. This is how larger commercial chippers are designed. Keep it up man! Sweet videos! 👍🏻

No worries. Thicker flywheel and Bob's your uncle! 👌Great job!

Când ești meseriaș și ai și scule și utilaje,îți iese orice lucrare de artă! Felicitări meseriașule!

The fabrication skills and inventions are just admirable ! I wish I had all those machines to build things.

As someone who works for a company who builds and services chippers your design is spot on. We'll done.

👍Nice build; looking forward to your improvements. I imagine something involving more air flow for ejection of chips.

My father and I made a ridiculous chipper once and used 2, 1/2" discs for the flywheel with flails on bolt shafts between them. The chipper was bolt on cutters on smaller windows sorta like what you have. The whole flywheel assembly including bearings is bolt together. It vaporizes xmas trees! no warping to worry about. We did have to use a tensioner hand lever to slip the belt though since it's so heavy. The whole thing is basically a stack of plates including the outer casing. Might I suggest hardened counter sunk socket heat flat screws for the blades? The SHCS you have are going to be impinged upon and bend over. That spot takes a ton of abuse! Keep making cool stuff, I love the channel!

I design quite a bit of stuff and it normally only comes close to being right after 4 or 5 revisions but it can be many more. Thankfully 3D printing makes R&D a little easier than welding things up though! Great effort anyway! You take what you have learnt and improve the next design! Thanks for sharing!
