Forced Air Heater Solar PART 2 Passive Heating HOW TO CONNECT MITER CORNERS Wooden Frame

[sharmakdeep]

Why did you have to Miter the joints ? Wouldn't a butt-joint work as well to make a rectangular frame and much faster ?

[depravedpuma]

Your glass looks tinted wouldn't it be more effective with clear glass??

[61520a]

what would happen if you used a fresnel lens instead of a pane of glass?

[frankt04]

@united4mi it will crack the glass because wood expands and contracts in the hot and cold.

[FabricationStation36]

you guys act like this is all new "green " technology , people have been using this same technology for ages to produce heat . Has anyone ever heard of a gardening tool called a "cold frame" ?

I see a you tube video that used drain gutters and was producing 220 deg @ 40 deg out side temp. I like the simplicity of yours though. Any thought on how to get the temp higher?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@Tomigun101 DOUBLE PANE GLASS with argon seal fill. Or find a window that is in good condition. Lowes marks them at 70% off because they were custom and the size was wrong. I got 15 for $21 each, regular price $250, I used most of them of windows:-) But I have one left I will be testing. ALSO ADDING THIS:

[HISandman]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE I found old Beer cooler doors from a Convenience store... Perfect!

[united4mi]

@Tomigun101 hi one could also put the glass in before screwing in the last piece of wood to ensure a tight grip on the pain!

[samdekok72]

Finally have a use for all those outdated picture frames!

[salcedoautberto]

I would cover the name brands of tool unless you get those sponsors

[madkinsroofing]

Looking forward to part three. Thanks for the awesome videos and great instructions.

[9thincarnation]

Can't wait to see this finished and how it will work. As a professional woodworker I had issues with your tablesaw safety. I think 2 x 4s aren't the best choice of wood as they usually come from the lumber yard wet and cupped. A more stable rot resistant wood like fir or cypess that is kiln dried and seal the heck out of it would be a better choice.- but I understand cost is and issue and I do enjoy your vids.

[anonincognitus]

Well, I applaud the application and results... but I feel you spend a huge amount of time showing me how to make what is essentially a big picture frame.

[social3ngin33rin]

D: part 3!!!

[muddymuddymuddmann]

Sweet work Dan, The idea of making the second half a little short works out good. the corners lined right up. Good tip.

[rainbowsalads]

nice one : P

[wyattlisadana]

DAN THE MAN IS AT IT AGAIN!

[wildfire53575]

while doing a pichure frame make a 90 degree frame stops and mount to table then use a clamp to provent movement for a tight joint. you can use a T sqare as the jig to set the scrap 90's true.

[localbroadcast]

wow the whole video time is taken up by you explaning how to do stuff like put a screw in.... retarded.. speed this crap up!

[muddymuddymuddmann]

@localbroadcast Ya At least he didnt waste half a video showing his bellybutton lint like your video.

Looking forward to see how you complete the project. I hope to build a flat plate collector or 2 before next Winter. Here in NW KS the back of the plate should be insulated. In the event free glass isn't found, I'll be using cleat UV protected lexan corrugated panels for the front. Good job, but I don't see the rating option other than thumbs up, what happen to the multiple rating option here at YT?

[pachai126]

Looking forward to Part 3...I had my windows upgraded, and saved

most of the old (cheap) 2-pane windows - so I am ready for part 3...

I have wanted to do this for years. Gas Steam Boiler is most inefficient

when outside is 50-60 degrees. Takes 1/2 hour to boil water. Forced

air solar is a great complement for steam boiler.

[godsend420]

liking the series

[hjfddfjdchkdchbxc]

ur kwl dan but that song at the beginning is too cheesey

[Yergs]

Great stuff Dan. Tighter editing would make it perfect - eg. I don't need to see every corner screwed.

[dumbw8ter]

less uppers dude

[liam552]

lolz, notice where he freezes it...

[UKBB]

Those frames would be good for pop in storm windows too.

[RamoneTalarico]

keep'em commin im loving it!

[wewilhelm]

make a jig on the table

[googlesbitch]

If you want a strong joint a simple butt joint is better and based on the size of glass you have there should be about 3/16" or more over size on frame to glass to insure when the glass gets hot there is no binding. The best screws to use are deck screws or hot dip galvanize screws avoid using sheet rock screws as they are designed to be used for indoor and will not hold up to exterior elements.

[bamboo4tameshigiri]

You should get yourself a brad gun. A couple of quick tacks would make driving the screw a LOT easier.

[fireworkgalore]

Why are you flexing at 4:49, showboating?

[sylvanenergy]

there is clamps for joining frame corners for the people that are not strong like you Dan.

[pinkytm1]

@sylvanenergy I would be afraid I would screw one of those screws into my fingers so I would use a clamp. :)

[Can101276]

@pinkytm1 I was thinking the same thing, but I would use my Brad nailer to tack it all first then screw it together!!

Dan didint exactly show us the safest or easiest method this time, but still a cool project!

[mathers3000]

that was fast. Thanks

[sagesdragon]

Keep em comin....I your vids and can't wait to see what you do next.!

[WORRO01]

Nice!!

thumbs UP  buddy..

[shartne]

Good job on you seventy dollar piece of glass fits great. now use pure silicone caulk to hold it in place.

[ksprad72]

@shartne I bought a glass table at the Goodwill for $25. Just cutting off some of the excess wood of the table and I already had a large piece of glass with built in frame. Find some old windows and you'll have the same thing, although smaller.

[vention4wh]

Man! I can't wait till I get a house to do all these cool projects on! I'll have this condo paid off by september and then I'll start saving for a down payment. If I can stand waiting another two years after september I might be able to walk into that house with no mortgage. Then I'll have plenty of money for plywood and other project material!

[Peacenik]

it would be interesting to see how your air heater compares to one made from pop cans, like in the same light for the same size. If yours does out perform the pop can ones, it would be great because it is way easier to build.

[ApplesAreLethal]

I love you!

[kastrup2dk]

Nice good work on making video

[CrimsonTheOriginal]

Awesome vid, i was actualy planning on building a solar can heater, but now that i know about your method im going to try that instead first

[TheVampirella]

Nice freeze frame on your muscle. :)

[Frosttty]

@TheVampirella Dan is hamming it up for the ladies!

[TheVampirella]

@Frosttty And I appreciate him doing it. LOL

[ximendo]

Good vid. That's everythingI have to say.

[nwstraith]

That is awesome Dan! I learned some nifty tricks on how to correctly make a mitered frame from you. :)
