How to Make a Simple Biltong Box / Dehydrator

[Music] according to Ziggy competition in this episode we're going to be looking at how to mate in recently the song dehydrator using identical time villages marketing all under the eye lines go but yes artists okay so firstly to look at what kind of equipments are going to be using today first up we've got our light fitting we using that spring heat into the belt on dehydrator we've also got a light ball since justice found a 25 watt light bulb we've got the case pan and adapter that we ride earlier on in the series we've also got some packing tape and we've got a power drill with a 22 mm hole saw bit on the end also in addition to those I have got an 80 litres storage box and that's what we're going to be converting a 200 pound box okay the first thing these do is the cotillion some holes into our box not only thing the lid feet of drilling pull down in the bottom corner we put the fan of those after all - on the other side up at the top and then there's Otis on the inside that's going in on the Han Army from now we need to do potholes on sides to get as many loads in the box full of this pothole in the middle laughter so we've got someone we can feed our life through - I just want a warning when using power tools on such soft plastics they are really strong compared to how soft the plastic is these ones really gentle my impressions drill bits through the plastic and what you'll find it's shattered quite easily into those game over in your vinyl box right so once I find helps to stop the box from shattering material experience is to put powerful face over the area where you're going to be drilling still need to be very careful for the lunch box will shatter just be really careful really gentle as you going [Music] [Music] time with room and there we go okay so next we need to look at attaching a span so here you can see the four little holes for a drill earlier and here's the farm that we attached to the adapter earlier on these you can see it fits quite neatly over the holes if you just well over there now I stick mine on the sellotape you can go to the extensions bolting it down if you want to but there's really no need for the elapsed time that a fans going to be working for just seal it only nice and tight we're about making it pretty at this stage is just need to need everything to be attached together keep your wires off to one side you got all of them going underneath the box awesome obviously don't cover the fan stick back them boom the idea is to get a nice firm snails and if it's stuck down it's not going to move and we want to stop air from seeping underneath the fan if you want it to be all coming through the fan not in an around side lastly on the left side so have a good feel are only edges officials of nowhere where more air can see under or in around the sides make sure the wires flow me down spinning there we go right so once we've fixed fix our fan it's time to look at attaching the light as you can see mines one of these sort of all-in-one units that can't be taken apart and it has got these handy little wires on it for attaching and if you remember the little hole we drilled earlier that's rather than be feeding goes wild so let's just pop the life is that's what's odd like surface also pulled off one of these taps use live flesh is to give the wire so my where it can hang freely and that's simply sit down on the top make sure your wires not too short you don't want it to be pulling the bulb from off the side of the box and that's the light fitted so just a quick note about this holes that we're left with on the top if it's warm you can leave that uncovered then excess heat will escape from the box keeping it nice and dry inside if we're going to hand it quite cold you might want to cover it over with cellotape just to hold more heat inside but it's entire let's use the variable ventilation right so legal value built on box is nearly ready now or you can still work families I was really simple option of using these fans of King simply thread into the hole why so so then these short these inspect on the top from which science your niece she seemed very distances between them so you have small pieces of and large pieces with the front a purpose to the light that's going to either put up your white fits on the top [Music] like so and then we go keep going from the light exploring what finds out of this slide which keeping your air circulating under pain you decide you wish to hang meat believe it or not forces it doesn't work [Music]
