what's up guys welcome back to my youtube channel x-men co guess what we're doing today
today we're building a built-in box stay tuned as you guys can see in front of here
we've got a 56 liter container see-through which are really the best you want to try and make sure
it's see-through for the mere fact that you want to be able to see what's going on inside
over here we've got a lamp now that's a question a lot of guys are asking what kind of bulb do i
need to use remember guys you don't want to create huge heat just warm air and therefore incandescent
light is perfect led is not going to work it's not going to give off enough heat you want to
try and stay under 40 watts preferably for a box like this i like to use a 28 watt then we've got
a small lead and a holder for the lamp we've got mesh that we're going to use right at the bottom
i'm going to show you in a bit how to use that and then on this side we've got some electrical cable
for the fan i've got a 220 fan 220 volts that's our current that we have here in south africa
obviously if you want to use 12 volt you're more than welcome but you need a transformer for that
i just didn't want two plaques to work with so i keep it simple 220 for everything my light and my
fan the fan is completely optional the reason we use the fan the lights going to give us that warm
air rising up and the fan is going to extract it much quicker and therefore this whole process of
doing your bolt on or your drive walls just going to happen much quicker as well always make
sure when working with electrical cables or any electrical component that you are qualified to do
so or you use a person that is qualified and can help you with that how does the built-in box work
let's talk about that quickly at the bottom we're going to have this incandescent light
28 volts like i said earlier we're gonna have some open vents as well these vents gonna allow air to
come in the bulb's gonna heat up that air that's coming through those holes and therefore it's
gonna rise normally you would just have vents on the top like i said we're gonna use a fan
we want to expedite this whole process and all that is just going to run over your built-in or
your drivers and escape your box please go look in the description below or somewhere in the screen
a little bit later i'll leave a link for you guys where i've made biltong i've made that in a
dehydrator if you guys want to know the difference a dehydrator basically pushes the air from the top
outwards at the bottom and this is a proper bolt-on drying box over here like explain
comes to the bottom and we take it over all the bottom right to the top then for the guys liking
dribbles once that video is out it will also be in the description below and i'll leave the link
somewhere for you guys so do keep a lookout for that that's one amazing video dropping soon or out
already without further ado let's get straight into building our building dryer so components
you're gonna need to be using a 56 liter clear container you're gonna need dowel sticks
we're using 10 mil you can use six mil if you want incandescent light 28 volt you're also going to
need a fan which is optional if you want to do that and electrical cable you're going to need a
cheap mesh doesn't have to be expensive at all and then also your fitting for your light bulb your
electrical cable and plug as you can see we've got a full unit here tools you're going to need today
for this project it's going to be a drill you're also going to need a hole saw the same size as
your fan if you decide to use a fan you're going to need a 10 mil drill bit for your dial sticks
six mil for the electrical cable and to fit your light bulb then you're also going to need
a screwdriver to fit the light bulb together with the spanner for the nut we've got crimpers here
for electrical work you're definitely going to need a tape measure a hacksaw also going to need
insulation tape for electrical work and then maybe the most important of all of the tools is your
permanent marker just to mark the spots where you want to cut and drill your bottom box
what we're going to do we're going to use this spot for our fan note on the side here it says
airflow and direction direction is not so much an issue as this is an ac fan so these wires could go
either way as you can see what's important is the airflow though you don't want to
push the air down you want to extract the airflow for this arrow shoot point upwards
once we got our fan and our light installed it's time to test it look at that whoa and
it's blowing perfectly now guys remember we don't have the holes at the bottom yet
we're gonna do them now so don't keep this fan on too long let's make those holes quickly
as you guys can see i've made sure that there's some extra extension for the fan those are for the
guys deciding to add the fan so when you take the lid off that you've got some space to move the lid
and it doesn't curl up straight away next to this box right so we're going to do the sides
and we've got a 50 mil diameter hole saw that we're going to use i'm going to make two holes
on either side left and right of the light and straight on the other side exactly the same place
we're also going to make two holes on top either side and that's basically just to make sure enough
air rises and get out of this box so it can flow over your driveways or your bull tongue
next step is our dowel sticks so measure your container from one side to the other and make
sure that you leave an extra gap of about one centimetre side so basically you want to cut
it two centimeter bigger than the width of your container we want six rails here that we could use
you could go just with two if you want and maybe space it out like that leaving a small
gap in the middle for the light basically also that's going to allow you to clean your bin
every now and again after each use we like to put some paper at the bottom as well just
to make sure that all the drippings go onto the paper and you can you know just swap it out with
new paper the last thing you want to do is put a rail right over the light if you do that you hang
meat over there it'll just drip on the light and that will be a complete disaster if you need to
you'll just have to play with it have less meat around the like and space it out a little bit
guys there you have it all we need to do now is the mesh on all the holes we did at the bottom
and also the top remember we want to keep those flies out let's do it
guys there you have it we've got a built-in box got a switch and it works there's so much
air coming out of here it's almost like an overkill i know that this fan is gonna do
great over here it's gonna expedite this process it's gonna be beautiful most of my videos i'm so
used to at this point i taste something and i give a review and it's either great or it's not
and at this stage i'm actually at an impasse i'm not sure what to do all i can say guys
we're going to do some drovos just now we're going to get it in here and soon you're going
to see that video once it's up put a link in the description and up here somewhere for you guys
there you go built-in box is done if you like what you're doing you know the story
