Good video on how to build the hose box, but after the materials, time, tools and screw up factor, it's just better to buy a $50 hose box, which will stand up better to the water. Also, don't paint the PVC, you can already see the black spray paint flacking off in the video.
Yeah, if you want black just use abs. But I do think these can be beneficial especially if you use cedar, ipe or pt they will look much better than plastic store bought and would probably hold up better to abuse
The quick connect has two giant problems. The first being the water restriction. There are some that will allow full water flow. The second problem is that they aren't supposed to be subjected to this much spinning. A swivel joint is a much better choice, but expensive. From the ones I could find, it's like $30 to $40.
dangit.. this is the big problem for sure.. i want to make my own but just going to depot and buying a premade one might just be the solution sadly .. or .. be prepared to unscrew the hose each time before reeling in
She didn’t, you can see in the video it wasn’t even close to being threaded on. And being the o-ring on the quick disconnect will be spinning with friction every time you wind and unwind I give this 10 uses before it starts leaking.
This would work way better for hose that is not round but the stuff that goes flat when not pressurized or do 4 2x2s in the center to make a roundish reel. Also that quick release is useless where it was installed as you wont be able to remove it easily which is the whole point. The 90 elbow is a great idea but then your hose has to do a 90 degree to spin onto the reel causing a kink there possibly... great idea just could have some improvements
@@gphillips5208 well.. the bulk of the work in the video is building a wooden box. So skip that stuff and get two square milk crates. Face them, ie opening to opening - and thats your box. The rest of ideas in video are fine. Just no need for such a heavy duty big wood box. Plus plastic milk crate version is easier to keep clean, no mold, hose out the gunk. Just get a wood broom handle for the center axle and just mcguyver your way through it. :)
gluing face grain to end grain does almost nothing. gluing the 1x6 panels to the 2x2 is not recommended as the cedar panels will expand and contract width wise but the 2x2 does not expand and contact lengthwise . your choice of a swivel is a bad choice too, it is not made to be a swivel and will end up leaking in very short order. the longevity of your project is marginal at best. there are several fail points if it gets any real use
Good tip on using that quick coupler for a rotating seal,piece of cake!
You say hose storage box, I say wild animal house!
You might get a new surprise every time you go to use the hose. 😆
Snake box lol

This is really cool
i would probably put the quick connect coupler on the supply side

If you use a 25" ft waterhose, should have no problem with water pressure and rinding up the water hose.
Add grease?

Awesome I love it
How do you tighten the connection of that quick connect to the elbow when it's INSIDE the pvc pipe?
I believe the quick connect elbow fitting for the waterhose' is screwed together it's a 45' degree elbow.
There is a link in the description box to full instructions, that will probably give you more information.

@@I-Teee LMAO i saw that too... give her an acadamy award for the effort she put in to make it look like she was threading it in... what a joke

Thanks!
Looks nice but I suspect the pvc will break right at the end cap if it's not gently cranked.
Dont use cheap PVC, schedule 40 will be more than strong enough....
Personally i rather have some exposed hose than a massive box. Also seems like a great place for birds or wasps to start a family.
Yep! Not practical at all especially here in Texas where it’s hot and moist 10 months out of the year
She looks like Bayley from WWE
Wow you lost weight, great work 👏
But the Box is only slightly less ugly than the hose. Can it be disguised as a cactus or something.
That connector was never being tightened into the elbow.
yeah this video is a JOKE
What a nice enclosure ... for wasp, roach, mouse and snake. All of which I have had in a similar enclosure .
does this allow for expansion?
Two milk crates will do the trick.
How? I am interested!

Nice wasp nest you’ve created there.
Sams more convenient

AGREED.. this video is a joke
This is the first time I've seen a 40+ year old with braces!
Really, you felt the need to comment on that? Somethings are better kept to ones self
Never too late to want to fix your teeth

so fake, watch how the first board was only glued on one side, total joke video
Actually there was enough editing that first board could have been glued on the second side and it was just not shown.
this video is a joke on MANY levels
