    Cut another barrel in have and glue to front and back to give storage areas which would also add flotation and allow the 2 pipe on each side plenty. Nice build!

    I haven't seen some of your mowers in a while, the Craftsman with the 589's on it, the Moto mow, the weed eater.
    And by the way, if you still have them, the boggers you tested in the vid where you put the 589's on the Craftsman, those would look great on colonial craftsman

    • @chud327

    Was it hard to paddle?
    I need to make slim barge style pontoon I can use a chainsaw on. Cut trees that are blocking the rivers and creeks in my area. For people who like to paddle.
    Been thinking of using some 15 gallon plastic drums and a 4x8 sheet of pressure treated plywood cut in half so the barge would be 2'x8'. That way two people could carry it in and out of tight spots when necessary.

    • @chud327
      @chud327  4 года назад +1

      It was not hard to paddle, but it was slower than my kayak. It was also a little bit slower to turn than a kayak. But you could easily build a platform on the front and / or back for hauling the chain saw. You could even add a couple more pipes to make it float a bit higher. It would suggest putting a trolling motor on it to get to the limbs. I put a trolling motor on this on in episode #2 and it was much better at getting around. Good luck and thanks for watching.

    No motor, no registration, it's like a canoe .

      @chud327  5 лет назад

      Yes, pretty much. We only have to register small crafts if they have an engine, even if it is a trolling motor. Paddle boats require no sticker. Thanks for watching.

    I tubi di plastica dovevano essere di diametro un pò più grande allora si.

    Fuck it why a paddle? Why not just put a little motor in the back

    I like your workmanship and frugality BUT I was very disappointed in your approach once I heard you were a teacher. There is no need to guess IF one of these home made kayaks will have enough bouyancy, that can be calculated. Each 10 four 4 inch closed pipe will displace enough water to provide 44 pounds of bouyancy. 2 pi r l = volume of pipe or water displaced. Water's density is 1 gram/cubic centimeter. If I ever do one of these myself I hope to include a little high school math in the instructional video. PS, I am not a teacher

    $51 my butt, don't forget, you got some for free, I say if you were to buy it all it'd be around $150.

      That is what I meant and maybe more than $150 with today's prices... Thanks for watching.
