Using a Ditchwitch rock saw to dig a trench in bed rock to install an underground electric wire to a new house.

  • Andrew, I just retired from a chain manufacturing company in April. I worked there for 24 years. Ran the chain manufacturing department as well as the purchasing department. The last link you connect on the connecting link is called a side link. Side links are stamped with an aperture slightly smaller than the links on the inside of the chain called plain links. Side links are designed to be a tight fit. Before installing these roller chains, I would have have tightened the tensioner on both chain drives so they made each chain at least a one pitch shorter (the center point of one pin to the next), one link shorter. Why? Your new roller chains will stretch quite a bit over the next few jobs. This is called the initial elongation period. You will have to go back and loosen the tensioner to tightened these chains up. If you don't, eventually you'll throw a chain off one or both of the drives and possibly break a chain too. If you run these chains without initially tightening the idler, eventually the chains will stretch so much you'll run out length on the tensioner and will not be able to keep the chains tight enough to run on the drive. Good luck. ASH

  • I think the greatest things we all learn from watching your videos are 1. creativity in solving problems 2. perseverance & 3. positive never say die attitude. Coupled with your experience and skill-level it’s an unbelievably powerful combination. It has certainly encouraged me to tackle and complete things I would in the past have probably given up on or taken to a workshop to resolve. Thank you!

This could win an Emmy - if they had awards for *Construction Cinematography.* The chain build, the stuck rock, chain to a tree, heated rock exploding, tatted dude wearing Levi's and smoking, and then if it couldn't get better, Andrew shoves the camera into the trench and gives us a tour of the underworld of trenches, with perfect lighting on a 4K camera. Quickest 30 minutes of my week. Thanks for letting me be a subscriber.

  • What about welding on some half inch steel plate so that big rock can't get up into that opening beside the cutting wheel? It seems to run pretty true. I bet you could make some good deflectors. You'd be able to use it like a chain trencher as well as a rock cutter. I've seen your fabrication capabilities. I think you could make it work.

  • Hi Andrew, my name is Tom, and I used to work in the Housing system in NYC repairs of city owned apt. buildings. I've retired. I started watching your channel when you were repairing a ride on lawn mower that you found at the side of the road, for free. (Free is my favorite price) For a few bucks you got it working and made a small profit off it. I fixed up a ride on mower for a senior person and he was very grateful. I did it for free, just seeing him happy was worth it. It's nice to see a good work ethic. These days (and since the 1950s) Most people are lazy, looking for the quick way out. Watching you work/build and repair your equipment is actually fun. My hats off to you. It's nice to see a younger person that takes work serious but has a little fun doing it. A small suggestion. Let the Castle roof rust over just a bit and then clear coat it to preserve the look and protect it. .. Just a thought Good luck ( Take care of Levi!) T

    • No, with the heavy duty side shovels on the digging and cutting wheel the covering shroud is made to be very close to the wheel with a sharp edge to it to toss any big rocks to the side and shovel up the loose material and deposit it out the side opening. If he heats the original "thinner" shroud up he might be able to press it in step-by-step to get a tiny margin to the wheel and then put a reinforcement layer outside around the lower part to keep it from deforming again...
