How's it going good morning. Good morning. Morning. Hi. Morning. I think he's on his phone. Yeah, he is looking down. He's busy. He's doing business stuff. We can wait. I'm done. I mean, I'm done. I'm done. I'm done. The millions of people who listen to this podcast can just wait on you to be on your phone. It's fine. It's just scrolling. Nothing is vertical. Everything's good. Nothing yet. What's new?

I'm working on two really big projects. I was telling you guys about them. I'm working on this this barbecue two bar. I don't want to give too many details why I'm filming it. And I'm sure the client's going to let me make a video of it. But I'm just being cautious in case he says no, which I'll just have to work on them. But I'm working on these two barbecue things, which is really cool. It's like a pair of barbecue smokers. It's a higher job. And I'm also working on my robot, which is really coming together quickly.

Now I'm up and around the bend where I'm starting to feel some tension, some real tension. You put on those first couple of strips and it's like, oh boy, this is going to be fun. And then you get up around the top and you're like, I don't have enough clamps to keep the tension of this wooden place. And so it gets a little hectic. And I have about 20 planks on and I have probably about 30 planks to completely to go to cover the whole thing. So I'm approaching the halfway point. But even though it's the halfway point, it's the most complicated part.

It's at the halfway point, because it's with it. Each one of the strips start taking crazy twists and turns. And you really have to fight, fight, fight. But I'm making the whole thing out of all these old deck boards that are as funny. A few people were under the misconception that these deck boards that are four by three quarter inches, or maybe you might say one by four. People assume that I was going to just use those full boards, but I'm not making a ship. I'm making a little robot. So I'm making it in the style.

You could make a ship out of it. I don't think I have enough for a ship. But by taking them and cutting them into quarters, so each strip will be about one inch by about a quarter inch, then gluing them together over the mold. That's how I made the strip canoe. It's the same technique made designed from the same company.

Bear Mountain Boats. It's the same way if you anybody's ever seen Nick Offman making the canoe or my video. It's the same technique from the same designers. And it's coming together nicely. This wood is unbelievably beautiful. I remember ripping up the deck and thinking to myself, God, this wood must look cool because it's such old growth wood. And I never cut into it. But I left the pile in the front of the house, and I was just thinking, I'm going to do something good with that.

And then I had the brainstorm right after we did the show last year. I was like, oh, I'll make that my boat. And I'm so glad I did because I would be heartbroken if I burned most of this and then saved the piece of it and then cut it open and look, it's just incredible. It's just like cedar. Over that one inch, the growth lines, there's like 50 growth lines in one inch. It's unbelievable. How old growth this material is. It was on my deck, probably built.

The whole deck was nailed together. It's still cut now. So it's, I don't know, 1980s something. I don't know. So the wood is that old. So back then, before there was all this building boom, the trees you cut down were old growth forest. It's incredible. And by the time I'm done, I will have a tremendous amount left. Make another boat. Yeah, you can make a ship.

Yeah, yeah. It was used a hundred years ago, but prior to that, it was growing for much longer. Wow. It's pretty well. Yeah. So that's exciting. And that's moving along quickly. And I put out the chicken coop video. Just a good friend of mine said, where's your chicken coop video? Because he heard about it. But he couldn't find it on my channel. And that's when I realized it wasn't there. So I did a little update video. If you haven't seen it, it only eight people watched it. So a few of the ninth and tenth person.

Wasn't ready for that. Yeah, I did a little walkthrough of of the buildings on the property and kind of the relationship to each one of them with my 360 camera and walk through and just showed off where we are now six years later from when we first built the chicken coop. It was like the first groundbreaking of like farm build stuff here. So.

Am I allowed to ask you any questions on the smoker? Yeah, you can ask me.

You showed it briefly. It looks like the caps on there were rounded. Is that is that true? Yeah. Yeah. Well, I bought I bought schedule 40, which is the designation of the wall thickness by six inches. So it's a quarter inch thick steel with a six inch tube.

And then I went online and found end caps. They're not like the perfectly round end caps. Like you'd see on some of these bigger smokers making them making a small smoker.

It's not like the perfectly like hemispherical ones. I couldn't find them. They're kind of more blunted ones. So they are capped on, but I welded them. So the caps are about two inches deep. So I could have like a 19 inch piece of steel.

No, the steel was 16 inches plus four inches on each side makes it all 19 inches.

So they come with a with a V groove already cut in them. So if you're going to weld them on the end of like a tube, you have a for it's called a call the root pass so that the weld can go deeply inside.

That's convenient. And I was able to do that. Yeah. So I got that I got to that point and I cut out the windows, which cutting out eight one two three four five six eight doors because I'm making it's like two double barrel smokers eight doors.

In quarter inch steel, I went through about seven cutting discs yesterday. I want to took a shower at like 2 a.m.

And like the shower, I was like wasn't blood. It was just like grinding dust. Yeah, because I don't usually murder people, but I usually grind stuff. So usually.

But I was just like, I looked at it reminded me of psycho, but it was like grinding dust coming out of my hair onto the floor.

Yeah, that's a worse gets stuck in here. Don't you hate that David? Oh, yeah, like a home.

Yeah, I got a comb it all out. Yeah, I'm halfway between both you. So I can resist. Sorry.
