DIY Lawn PLUGGER from Exhaust Pipe // Ryegrass looking mint

  • Опубликовано: 17 сен 2024
  • I always wanted one of these pluggers but at $115 or so I figured I'd just make one. $25 exhaust pipe sized down, $10 bolts, $6 grips = very easy.
    I plan to grow a MASSIVE lawn at my own place one day and I'll grow the entire thing from plugs, so this will get a workout then. In the meantime I'm going to use it to remove a heap of the fairy ring in the soil.
    Cool quick project if you're handy on the tools, or barely like me :-)
    If you haven't subscribed yet it would mean a lot. Cheers

    Thanks heaps for showing the close ups mate. Really interesting to see. There's really not much on RUclips where people show that detail. Lawn is looking mint! And what an amazing corer - lol at your laugh when doing it!

      I've got a few pots which I planted rye into, including 3 that are just a single seed to see how big 1 plant gets. I think ill do a wrap up video about my experience with rye and show that.
      hahah I noticed that when I was editing it, I was giggling like a kid 😅 a bit happy I think

    Dude that turned out amazing. You absolutely nailed it. Far out I was so surprised. You could sell those bad boys!
    Your lawn is looking mint, when are you spraying out the ryegrass?

      thanks Dan, yeah it came up a treat, very solid so should last a lifetime and can lend it out to people 👍
      the couch has just woken up here I'm thinking maybe mid October I'll smash it down and give the lawn a reno. still not sure if I'll pay for monument though.

    • @YourBestLawn
      @YourBestLawn  2 года назад

      the entire thing is 1100mm long, bolts were 7/8 which was as close to 22mm as I could find to suit the bike grips. the bolts were about 130mm long

    Re Light flicker. Australia power is 50Hz which means our lights cycle at 50Hz. You want to record at whatever res possible using 50Hz not 60Hz or any other setting.

    • @YourBestLawn
      @YourBestLawn  3 года назад

      thanks heaps for that, I'll see if I can fire up the GoPro app and change it. The LED lights in the shed are cheap china lights as well, not sure if that makes a difference

    • @emmett3067
      @emmett3067 3 года назад

      @@YourBestLawn The cost of the lights shouldn't make any difference. I'm not familiar with the GoPro, if you can't see an option for 50Hz recording make sure the GoPro is set to "PAL". Sometimes video equipment only shows modes relevant for the market they're set to i.e. NTSC would only offer 60Hz, 30Hz etc.
      If set to PAL it will offer the option of recording in 25Hz, 50Hz etc.

  • @chrisg4804
    @chrisg4804 2 года назад

    Love the semi-pro, I was thinking about something similar but getting it swaged is a cracking idea. How long did you make it and what was the length of the swage, assuming you've not patented it already. Cheers.

    • @YourBestLawn
      @YourBestLawn  2 года назад

      hey mate, the entire thing is 1200mm long and the distance between the foot rest and the end is about 90mm. the swage itself drops the diameter pretty quickly so you can weld your foot rest, which controls the depth of the plug, at any height you want. I have cut a bit off the end since making it to make the plugs a bit shorter. Hope all that makes sense mate 👍
