This thing rocks at pumping out heat.

Stuff I used in the video:
Infrared Phone adapter Android: amzn.to/47AhPve
Infrared Phone adapter Iphone: amzn.to/48tunpN
Hypertherm 30xp plasma cutter: amzn.to/36pPsne
Miller Multimatic 220 AC/DC Tig Mig welder: amzn.to/3mukQqe


VIDEOS I mention in this video

Gas Dryer Heater:    • garage HEATER from old Clothes DRYER ...  
Vice Grips DEEP Jaws build:    • Making locking C clamp VISE GRIP plie...  



COST TO RUN: $0.86 per hour(11.5cents kwh at 7500watts)

After Thoughts about the Video: I really don't intend anyone to build this. It's just functional art for me. Full throttle and this thing pulls 7500 watts( 25,575 BTU) which is a fair amount but needed if you wanted to use this outside while you're working working. There are no safety controls but after thinking I do plan on installing a buzzer. It will be a simple thermal switch(NTE thermal disc style) located in the top next to the control panel. If it overheats to lets say 160F it'll loudly buzz until it is unplugged and or cools down. This would really only happen if the fan stopped working. I hope you guys enjoyed watching me make this as I had a blast... Build time: 10-12hrs

  • @williamzoom
    60 years old & still works & this new junk might last 10 years if you're lucky!
  • @waltschannel7465
    You are an awesome fabricator, and you figure out how stuff works to make what you want. Looks like a period piece. I can just see the ads for this shop heater in the January 1970 Popular Mechanics. LOL! Love it!
  • That’s awesome! I work for GE. That GE emblem has a name. They call it the meatball. Every once in a while we can find stickers around the plant. If I come across some I’ll get in touch and send them to you if you like.
  • @chox2001
    Now that’s an awesome build and looks factory built. Funny thing I was just looking at your dryer heater build a day or so ago. Never fail to impress me thank you.
  • @fraydnot
    I think you just created a giant air fryer, lol. You are going to drive someone nuts in the future trying to look up parts. Thanks for the upload
  • @lambodp
    Awesome build! You never cease to amaze with your creative projects. Never thought I'd see a heater made from a stove like this. Keep the projects coming!
  • @gutsngorrrr
    It did seem a little sad to see this old workhorse, thats lasted 60 years get ripped appart, but, that heater looked fantastic, i love that retro look. You could also use the oven part of it for doing powder coating.
  • @drylandman
    Love your builds the most amazing thing is that you had a vintage can of Appliance Avocado Green on the shelf. That's grandpa level hobbyist stuff there.
  • @mrhalfstep
    What a project! One thing that might interest you is that those Calrods (burners) list for about $125 each on some vintage appliance parts sites. I can tell from your serial number that the stove was made in our plant in October of 1966, about 8 years before I started working there. If you can find a cabinet mounted dishwasher from that early era they will have three or four painted steel sheets hidden behind the door panel. It was so you could change from Brown, Harvest Gold, Avocado Green, or White as you bought new appliances or changed flooring or cabinet colors. They're heavy gauge and over 2 1/2 feet square. GE hired a company for a couple mil to "modernize" their logo. The logo that you and your doggy drew had been around since Edison founded the company. Look at a recent logo and see if you can spot the change that cost millions to "redesign". You do great work. I should warn you that those Calrods should not be allowed to glow red for any real length of time. They are simply a thin nichrome wire centered in a tube with powdered porcelain glass packed around it as an insulator. The stove came with a warning about making sure that your pan covers the burner so its heat is drawn off by the cookware and food inside it and doesn't sit there glowing and burning out. Don't want to give you any crazy ideas, but that self cleaning feature will heat the inside of the oven to 880 degrees F. Think you could do anything with that???
  • @Sylvan_dB
    I showed my wife when you were starting to form the side panel into a tube. "Does he have a wife to ask if he is going to blow up the place?" Then when you showed the finished unit, "wow, now it doesn't look like it is going to blow up." Impressive work!
  • @brianriggin4560
    Ahh, the colors of the 60s and 70s. Pea green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, almond white. Great build.
  • @chadmccolm6544
    Stuff was built to last unlike the stove of today. Cool video 😊
  • Great project! That looks like something my dad would have done. I grew up in his shop working on appliances. That old GE brings back memories. I've worked on tons of them.
  • @Ken-RicSki
    That turned out awesome!, it seemingly has unmatched functionality as far as electric space heaters go and it’s some kind of art at the same time!
  • @TheRockeye007
    i worked on appliances for over 35 years. you are a man after my own heart! never throw any thing away! i am sure i have a brand new switch for that burner!
  • @camden7488
    That thing has two outlets on it too! Never see that today on stoves. Thats a really cool convenience. The repurpose came out fantastic and love that you kept the era and finish throughout the build too
  • @jasondk5127
    When I turned my 1949 GE refrigerator into a smoker I did the same with the switches, badges and pcs and parts. This is a really cool build! 😊
  • @TheGbab
    Good job! The cool thing about electric heat is that you get out what you put in. Electric heat is almost %100 efficient. Of course you gotta buy the juice. Back when they banned incandessent light bulbs nobody mentioned that in addition to lighting the house, a 100 Watt bulb also puts out EXACTLY 100 Watts of HEAT! A well unsulated room with 2 100 Watt old school bulbs is dry and comfy. LED bulbs not so much..
