I've been itching to see if I could melt aluminum cans in MAX, my cobb and fire brick rocket stove. Here is the video of my first test. My conclusion, Max needs mods. Stay tuned.

![How To Grow Shiitake Mushrooms In Oak Logs | Part 1: Inoculation
In the first video in this two part series, I cut a large limb off an oak tree and inoculate it with shiitake mushroom plug spore. My spore dowels and sealing wax are from FungiPerfecti.com. [ no coupon yet ] Part 2 will be produced in 9-12 months, once the logs are fully colonized and ready to produce mushrooms.
Paul Stamets, owner of the company, is a well-known, mushroom guru. Heres is Paul’s inspiring Ted Talk on the power of mushrooms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XI5frPV58tY
This is my second time purchasing plug spore from Fungi Perfecti, as my first set of logs had reached the end of their production time and it was time to make more. It was amazing to see a log sprouting mushrooms from spore that I put there. I know youll love the process too. Thanks for watching.

![Duel Fuel Rocket Stove [Prototype]
My attempt at a duel-fuel rocket stove was fun to build, but it ultimately didnt perform. I think the main problem is scale. The 2-inch tube didnt allow for enough airflow. No draft ... no rocket. But I Iearned a lot in the process.

![FULL BUILD – One Year To Make A Tiny Studio From Reclaimed Materials | Part 11
It took me a year to make this tiny studio for Music On Main Street, a local music venue in my community. I built it using mostly reclaimed materials, saved from the construction of my home. I also utilized reused building materials purchased from Lifecycle Building Center. Only the roof metal and frame were new. I used the tinktube DIY system to construct the frame for the raised roof.
