Title: st0ves
Post by: tp4tissue on Thu, 10 August 2023, 09:58:28
There are all these stove building channels, fascinating, but WTH do these people do with all these giant heavy, sometimes brick stoves after they make the video? Some of these guys build 1 every 2 weeks ?

On the other hand, one supposes parallel multi-threaded pizzas is a possibility, though inefficient.

I don't really see those videos, I would imagine that people pay them to build the stoves and they just film it for a extra stream of income.

Not really related but those videos of people building makeshift houses outside out of wood and clay which I see a lot of, not only are pretty much all of them are fake, but they abandon them to rot. A lot of these channels are businesses designed to farm content. So maybe it's the same with these stove building channels.

People build whole houses and let them rot? What happened to the housing crisis?

Never seen any of those videos but: a structure made of bricks and mortar can be torn down and the bricks reused.

Masons in centuries past had amazing mortar "recipes" (that might contain elements like horsehair or dung) that were fantastically strong and adhered well.

I picked these up on a beach in North Carolina years ago, large sections of demolished walls had been dumped onto the beach to slow erosion ....
