Rocket Stove DANGERS

[Trashfished]

If you sniff the glue on the side of the stove becarefull not to burn your nose.

DON'T ever put on gloves when you use a drill press!!!

[LDSPrepper]

@AMilitantAgnostic Very good advice. Thanks for sharing.

[WulfBand]

@AMilitantAgnostic  It's not the gloves, he should have used a clamp to anchor the peace he was working on. There is always a danger with a drip press to try to hold the work peace by hand. Harbor Freight offers some excellent drill press work peace holders for a reasonable price.

[AMilitantAgnostic]

@WulfBand okay, I was a CNC machinist for Rockwell Int. I made parts for Space Shuttles and B-1 bombers and GPS Satellites - again - don't ever put on gloves when you use a drill press!!

When drilling in sheet metal it's a good idea to clamp it onto a piece of wood that's larger than the metal you drill in. If that not an option, hold it between your shoes, when it's a can for instance, but with a sheet, you might consider standing on it. That way your weight keeps it in place. Worked for me in the past.

@BarneySaysHi Very good idea. Thanks for sharing.

[mrshammerhankus]

thanks for this particular video, i appreciate not having to learn that stuff first hand,

[LDSPrepper]

@mrshammerhankus I'm glad you enjoyed the series. I hope you enjoy using your rocket stove.

Thank you for this fine series of videos. The instructions are very clear, and your commentary is useful. I especially appreciate the 'part 2' and 'update', which helped clarify points brought up by commenters. You may want to put in a word about the green-colored wood, which appears to be from pressure-treated lumber. If it is not from arsenic-containing lumber, please ease our minds about it. Using appropriate fuel is an important safety consideration!

[LDSPrepper]

@DanYHKim Yup, don't burn treated wood.

Great video.. Lighter fluid is good to remove the glue on the side of the stove, just remember to apply it when the stove is cold.

[deadlyyellowrose]

ow, ow, ow, ...gonna take that tip to heart

[2bornot2b1984]

Soo...Don't cut yourself....check. Don't get hot sticky stuff on your hand...check. : o

[DanYHKim]

@2bornot2b1984 You'd be surprised how many people need to hear this advice being given explicitly. Not everyone thinks ahead about such things. A clear warning may save someone a bad experience with their stove-making efforts, and so will encourage them to expand their own DIY experimentation.

The glue is sticky when warm; it is liquid when hot. At that point it can be wiped off with a paper towel. While wearing gloves!

Cut sheet metal acts like a knife. In a cooking supply store there are knife-proof gloves with metal wire woven into them.

Be careful not to use the rocket stove for a football.

@temple26797 Great input. Thank you.

[MrBushLife]

@temple26797 LMAO....Rocket Stove for a Football ??..Funny :)

[slowhandsetc]

First, let me say, nice DIY video, very informative....And if you want to get the glue off, spray a little WD-40 on it, let it stand for about 30 seconds and it should disolve, of course done while stove is cool. I have used this method for years......Take care.............

[LDSPrepper]

@slowhandsetc Great advice. I'll give it a try. Thanks!

[pinhighiron]

All this to tell me to be careful around sharp metal, that paper burns ad glue is sticky. This guy obviously didn't go to MIT.

[LDSPrepper]

@pinhighiron Exactly. This stove is safe. That was the whole point.

[ABGAN100]

try using kevlar gloves they are not that expensive and are cut proof

[LDSPrepper]

@ABGAN100 Great idea. I have some for fileting fish. I wasn't expecting to get cut. But this is a great precaution. Thanks for commenting.

[Clicklc1500]

OMG, you got a boo boo. Those rocket stoves are dangerous!!!!

[LDSPrepper]

@Clicklc1500 Exactly. ;) Thanks for viewing and commenting.

[jrapanut0]

thanks for the safety tip !

[MrAMMiranda]

Iknow you got the cut while working on project. Which was dopne exceptionaly well... Maybe a little J B weld on sharp part will protect in future or something simalar that can withstand the heat. Unless your will continue to experiment with insulation/ Any way great video, keep up the great work! GOD BLESS and PEACE... Michael

[tstatech]

2 minutes on your boo boo. I was expecting something else.

[LDSPrepper]

@tstatech Exactly. It is a very safe stove. No danger here.

[tomyhill123]

i love the way you real use your preps thats awesome keep up the good work

[koconcept]

I would use a pair of vise grips to hold that lid to keep it from spinning. Use rubbing alchohol to remove the glue from the can.

[bowlmeoverva]

Wow...you are just going 'throttle-up' on the videos. Thanks!
