I was 27 when my husband woke me up with a "Disney voice" because the grass in the field was frosted white...it was beautiful! You could see grass through the ice and it crunched as we walked to the car with the dining table salt shaker to "clear the windshield " we thought it would work. Lol. Greetings from Texas
Totally gonna try this here in Michigan, we get the same style winters here!! Our winters (Michigan/Minnesota) are worse than the north and south poles winters combined EVERY YEAR. Most people don’t know that our winters get down to “Arctic” temperatures! Pretty rough but also very special
I left Minnesota after 20+ years and now live in Southern California. I just found this channel and it's funny to me because I always tell people that it gets cold out here in the winter..."Not Minnesota cold but cold for So Cal."
Pretty neat, although I wouldn't be letting the kids put their fingers in the channel like that. If the ice bumps over to the side their fingers are on while they're in the water, they're getting ripped off
I completely misunderstood the size of this and assumed it would be a death trap, overloaded on one side, flipping over and drowning everyone under the ice.
My brother in law is the coolest dude from MN but he's legit depressed about this global warming. A Minnesotans identity is so entrenched on being able to brave the cold and he's spent more time in shorts this winter than in pants. Sorry Dave, could be worse.
Four years ago wow I’m just seeing this now. At first I thought it was a big waste of my time, but in the end it was worth it. I would definitely put a motor on it stronger motor.
Won't be making any of these this year where i am. The bays aren't even frozen yet. Creeks, streams and rivers aren't even frozen yet so the shoemachine trails can't even open
Next time, add a bunch of salt to the water in the ring. The salt will prevent the water from freezing at normal “freezing” temps, and because saltwater floats on fresh water, it should stay relatively in place in the rim
Imagine leisurely going for a night drive in a heavy truck on your nice thick lake and then run over that thing a couple hours after you guys leave. Yikes.
If they could get the trucks on the ice, all it would have taken is one wheel on the carousel, and one wheel jacked up to get it spinning at insane speeds…
Thank you for this informative how-to. I will be trying it out down here in South Africa as soon as weather permits.
"The first thing to do is test the thickness of the ice. We will do this by driving on it."
We had small natural ones - ice circles - form in Lake Michigan a few years ago during a long cold snap in Chicago. But this is a whole other level!

I didn't even relize that a dude living 2 miles away from my house had half a million subs.
I didn't realise he was 2 miles away from your house!

Lads it's daft, mad, silly & bl**dy marvellous!! From Wales in the UK I salute the LADishness, Thanx & congratulations to all involved.
4:51 woah this shot looks very cool , it looks like the ice is floating in the air
Maximum effort on the ice carousel boys!! Excellent work! Cheers from northern MN!
Wouldn’t it be great to have the time, inclination and ability to do this man it is brilliant
one of the coolest things ive ever seen

I was born in Michigan and currently reside in North Dakota. Let’s just say I now see Michigan as tropical.
@@seatripreports that’s what’s up lol!
Michigan just isn’t like Minnesota dawg
You tapped into your calling! Structural Ice Sculpture. Or as Minnesotans call it: having fun.
Who thought this up? Has it been done before? So creative and fun!
Sometimes, if you're lucky, you come across something brilliant ! .... and today I'm lucky ! 👍
Looks like a GREAT time! thanks for sharing
I love your adventurous spirit!
Hey! I noticed that your getting a view spike right now, keep up the good work 😊
I have never seen a video with 6M views and 6 comments

Spending all day with friends making something cool. Reminds me of the time spending all day making an igloo with friends.
Such a beautiful project.
Iife time experience for kids 👍. Fantastic job
Well done! Good family fun.
Was it still around the next day? How long does it last?

Get out of Cali they gonna raise gas to 15dollars a gallon
I didn't know chainsaws could tolerate water like that nevermind freezing water
Cool! Now add a canopy and some horses. Carved from ice of course.
Never loan your chainsaw to this guy !
What a lovely idea. Well done. Thank you. 😁😁😁😁
Only kids from Minnesota would be splashing their hands in that water lol
Awsome dudes 👍🏼 a lot of work 👊🏼
Wow man I really love your channel
Alot work, pretty darn cool though.
how fast can you get it going?
I need to go 88 mph
Very unique. Love it 👍
The fact that I didn't see a single beer in this video amazes me!!
Pretty neat, although I wouldn't be letting the kids put their fingers in the channel like that. If the ice bumps over to the side their fingers are on while they're in the water, they're getting ripped off
Thanks dude this is awesome. Minnesota seems terrible. But maybe it isnt!
That is amazing how, relatively speaking, little effort it takes to spin that
Did you the flow of the water keep the carousel spinning or did you have to regularly apply force to keep it spinning?
I’m from Minnesota but I’ve never thought to do this
when they started poking the ice in the water it reminded me of that scene on frozen one
Having worked in Finland drilling on frozen lakes, EVERYBODY wears fleece-lined rubber boots.
I think you City Boys forgot you could have just tied the string to the chainsaws start cutting right from the start!!!🤣🤦♂️

should put sum fishing holes in it for trolling

Oh look, it's a submersible chainsaw! 😅
Inspired ! It’s on my list . Never knew I wanted to do this so much , till I saw it. I’m choked up with enthusiasm 👌😂
I had no idea that Minnesota is so cold! This paint was ecofriendly of course?!😊
Will you do this again for the Luminary on Johanna next weekend??? :D
Hook up the ol' 300 merc verado to a solid makeshift transom😂 let's see if we can't spin this piece a little faster!
Do you guys get “Northern Lights/Aurora Borealis” in Minnesota like we do here in Michigan?
Yeah we do!
yup
@@rawegg5591 that’s so awesome!
How far up are you in michgan that you see the northern lights? I'm by Ann arbor I have never seen them.
You a crazy man! ...The nice kind of crazy.
Four years ago wow I’m just seeing this now. At first I thought it was a big waste of my time, but in the end it was worth it. I would definitely put a motor on it stronger motor.
Please be careful and always being friends just in case the ice circle is too thin or you're too heavy and end up under the ice circle.
this is just awesome
Утром все замерзло - начинай с начала )))
This video is just well satisfying
The first thing to do is to test the thickness of the ice...by driving your truck onto it.
Part 30 please
What happens if someone/ a kid falls in the crack? Ouch, would they be shredded, then drowned?
They are really cool in Minnesota
"Beyond the press" did this!!
Even tho I live in the middle of the desert…I’m watching this in case smth happens ☠️
I feel like this was one of those projects that took an absurd amount of work and yielded almost minimal benefit XD
My life is complete now ❤
This is definitely something I’d do if I didn’t live on the California coast.
love this. Hella job.
This reminds me of the movie frozen
This looks great! I live in south-central coastal Florida. How can I recreate this effect here?
When you cut into the ice your going below the lakes water level during summer
My cousins used to live there
I want to see it spin real fast!
That looks fun.
Won't be making any of these this year where i am.
The bays aren't even frozen yet.
Creeks, streams and rivers aren't even frozen yet so the shoemachine trails can't even open

How much time do you have on your hands?
Them: yes
i kind of Remember Reading where im at by lake Erie when ice fishing you cannot cut a Hole Bigger Than 12 inches
Very good
YOU NEED TO GET A DOG SLED TEAM AND CHAIN THEM TO THE CAROUSEL AND MAKE THEM RUN AROUND IN CIRCLES ALL DAY!
Imagine leisurely going for a night drive in a heavy truck on your nice thick lake and then run over that thing a couple hours after you guys leave. Yikes.
This is so Minnesota. I would probably be doing the same thing if it froze here.
Why no one is commenting.
❤ so awesome 😎
If it is a dark sky location, you could watch the sky while the "earth" turns.
Me and the boys after watching this:
They should have a safety Hall in case someone does fall through the ice
this is awesome
I want to do this!
What if you used a core drill bit and drilled around the entire circumference and then the cores would work like a bearings
How does it stay centered?
If they could get the trucks on the ice, all it would have taken is one wheel on the carousel, and one wheel jacked up to get it spinning at insane speeds…
i want to live in minnesota now :(
It is really fun to live here
Very cool
Certains jouent avec le feu, d’autres jouent avec la glace !
if a piece of The Pie Breaks and Some One is Standing On the Piece That Breaks He Falls Through Goes Underneath The Wheel.. as a Meer Memory
Now if the rotation was pug powered, then you'd have a video. Carrot, stick, you get the idea. 30 or 40 of them should do.
That is so cool! Excuse the pun😅
To those wondering why there are so few comments, the rest were deleted. I don't know if this was by the creator or by YT, but that is what happened
I thought comments were disabled for a period of time
cool, but why? but still, cool 😂😂😂😂😂
