Cody's Mine Episode 6: Finally Mining!

I find some mineral, make the hole a a little deeper, and we set up a little garden. Dont worry I only make one small minecraft joke.

I may have forgot to add in the intro... welp, next time I guess. :)

This makes me wish I had a mine in my back yard...

Dear Cody Don,
I recommend you use larger diameter steel or iron tubing for ventilation. it may cost more but it is worth saving your life to make more video to entertain not just me but the rest of your 183, 268 subscribers. Have a great day! your the best!

I admit, I'm pretty jealous. I live in North Carolina, and there's pretty much no chance I could do this. I do live on a farm, and I'm pretty sure we own the mineral rights, but unfortunately the farm's in the suburbs, and I don't think they'd take kindly to me blasting within yards of their septic tanks... Still, maybe I'll dig a clay pit or something. We've got lots of lovely Carolina red clay. Good for ceramics, and possibly iron.

*Recommendations:*
1) I have helped my dad mine for most of my young life, and found that alternating thermite, and explosive bore holes work best for shattering and dislodging large areas of rock. The thermite causes thermal cracking, and while still hot the shock wave of the neighboring bore hole does the rest of the work. It doesn't take a lot of thermite in an unplugged hole to create the thermal variation needed.
2) My dad liked using *Nitrocellulose*, but I preferred *Vaselate* because it's cheaper, safer and easier to make. Either one will give you MUCH better performance.
3) Your ventilation is entirely too small. Not only does it take too long to exchange the air (dangerous for breathing), but *IF* you should get a cave in and be trapped, there should be far more fresh air coming in, *AND* at least one return pipe so that you can last a long time while rescue slowly comes to get you. Not to mention that return lines can be used to send food &water to you on the other side of a cave in. *ALSO....I recommend several smaller pipe instead of one big pipe. Even though it increases friction they are less likely to be crushed *IF* a cave in, and different lengths can segment the mine for better fresh air distribution.

Love the videos.

I think it's fucking great that this hardcore geology nerd is dating a girl named canyon. Adorable.

[shalala]

Plot twist he says he is planting plants in there and shows that's what he is planting but he is actually growing weed in there and that's why he built the tunnel to hide it

"Let's stick this in the hole, hopefully it fits! If it doesn't go all the way in it won't work." - Cody, 2016 😂😂😂

You should have two sources of air, in case one of them gets destroyed in a collapse.

Cody - buy a gas mask or make one also use a leafbower of sorts to remove light debris like dust out the mine for temporary uses before sheets

Hey Cody! I was just scrolling around on YouTube and found your precious material refining series. I started watching your channel and now I'm love with your content! And I realized I've found an interest in your content and definitely looking into doing some of the stuff you do! Thank you! Keep up the great work!

[citrux]

You seem really cool, I wish I could do this, Own a mine, have me and my friends and family just find and refine ores, and sell them. You are one lucky man Cody.

8:10 you needed a redstone repeater hahaha :')

[MooseyGoosey_]

so did the light's grow without the sun i'm curious.

[MyLeftTo-e]

Holy cow, this is the most interesting channel I've ever found in my life. It's real, no fake personalities, informative, exciting, and Minecraft references!

[SnazzyZubloids]

9:30 This is the precise moment Cody became a prepper.

Also, I'm appreciating watching your hard work coming to fruition.
