We did that for filling the bathtub as well. When I was a kid, I was the youngest, so I had to take my bath last after everyone else had used the water. Now that I am on my own, I actually get to have hot AND clean water. Gotta love living off the grid!
@@catezaida8081 I hear that! My family had a claw foot tub and it was so nice to sunk down inside ... aaaahhhhhh.. the dark hose idea us great. I know I have to run any hose a minute or else water with hot water.. and the black one is always twice as hot!
I have a ibc tote 275 gal with a solar pump going to a pex coil water heater, then up to my washer with a shut off on both. Also have a pump going from ibc tote to a shut off then to the washer. Figgure, if I'm gonna have it set up off grid. Might as well be comfortable with hot and cold water. :)
This woman and her build are inspirational and motivating me to build one. Thanks for sharing. The info was very clear and easy to understand. The photography got up close enough for us to see exactly what to to do. Thank you for sharing.
I have been wanting one of these for some time now, but purchasing them from Lehman's at the cost of $1,149.00 is more than I can afford. I never even thought to make one on my own! Thank you for this video and the plans and explanations! I am totally doing this!
That's the one I've had my eye on for a while. Maybe someday...maybe...it's definitely what I'd consider a luxury item so I might not. For now, I'll just make my own.
This is an excellent design but the plastic pipe will quickly break, as it is not designed to be a mechanical moving part. The weak points will be the right angle fittings. Some aluminium or galvanized tubing would be far stronger, excellent for those heavy clothing items such as denim. Perhaps some light weight scaffold poles would be perfect. Secondly, consider upgrading the silicone caulking to marine silicone caulking as it is designed to be submerged under water and will not go mouldy after time. A plastic tarp and bungee cord would protect the machine if stored outside. Great video, I'm gonna build one :)) thank you so much.
This 'dasher' aka "james" washer is wonderful and a great copy of this very old design. And extra applause for the economy of your project compared to Lehmans' version that is smaller and comes in at Over $1,200. I know it's been years since this was made but, Keep up the marvelous work.
Just built mine, I am going to insert 3/4” dowels into the pvc to stiffen it some. Also got the same wringer and its a beast. Thanks so much, we are moving off grid and this will serve us well! Mike
If you get schedule 40 PVC you should not need the dowel rods inserted that PVC is quite strong they also make heavier PVC than the schedule 40 I made a comment above about my concerns on the pvc wearing on the pivot points and maybe needing to use a different material than pvc for those pieces that pivot and maybe making some bushings for these pivot points out of metal like copper tubing or conduit pipe
Thank you so very much. Hi from Texas USA. ❤. I grew up helping my mom wash clothes with a wringer washer, out side in the yard, I loved it. I can't find one any where. May God bless you and yours for this wonderful 🥰 machine. My husband and I are getting started on making one of these machines just as soon as possible.🎉❤. Again, thank you so much.
Thanks for this video. This is really cool. I like the blue barrel idea that someone in comments suggested, if you don’t mind it looking “less vintage”, because the plastic barrels can often be had cheap or even free. Plus, if a person is REALLY strapped for cash (living off-grid) they could forego the expensive ringer and just give a quick hand-wringing then have a rack to drip-dry the clothes for half an hour before hanging on the clothesline. ALSO, I just remembered my big yellow mop bucket has a side-press wringer, so now my brain gears are really turning🤓 I spent the entire summer hand washing and line-drying my clothes, barefoot in the sunshine with the bees and birds all around, and I considered doing laundry as part of my “outdoor therapy”❤
Thank you for your video and the American made wringer information. Nice build but PVC pipe might need to be steel against all that torque. All else looks real good and should last a while. Thanks again for your effort.
Thanks so much! Just in time. I was looking for someone who knew how to build these and, better yet, show others. Awesome! Gonna look around for the materials and build one.
This is very inspiring. Great job on the video. I'm looking forward to the plans. Even if you could afford one of Lehman's washer, they have been backordered for MONTHS. Carla
Debra, Thank you for sharing and demonstrating how you made this dasher washing machine. I find you to be inspiring and industrious to other women, with your CAN DO attitude. God bless you!
Such a great idea! I have started this project and will build the exact same way. So simple! I’ll be using the 1-3/4” schedule 80 grey PVC piping and reinforce them with hardwood dowels. Nice off grid appliance when there are very few options for laundry.
@@arthurbolton9888 I would love your material list ! How do you like your results, and what did you do differently? I have no experience in building, but am encouraged to try. Was your handle pole detachable , as I didn't see it when she stored it as an end table in her living room. It would be great to post your pics if you can. Thank you
@@arthurbolton9888 can you take a screenshot of your price list and post it as a public post to Facebook and then copy and paste the link to it here for us?
Neat machine, the weak spot I see is the area where the agitator pivots in each end, the PVC will wear out in time I expect, you might need to make spare pieces when you make the original parts or I expect you should make a bushing out of some copper tubing or steel tubing and perhaps make the shaft going through the hole out of steel tubing or similar product like maybe conduit pipe maybe
How long would the PVC last with the pressure and tension of use? Also, thank you for this video....I've wanted to build one of these for almost 10 years. You did a great job!
Thanks! Glad you liked the video! Hopefully the pvc will last quite some time. If you're planning to build this washer, you might want to use the super thick grey pvc. I think it's called Schedule 80 pvc. Lowes has it. That's what I would have used had I known about the grey stuff before I started. Or you can use galvanized pipes. Good luck! Send pics to Jen's Corjen RUclips channel when you build it and definitely check out that wringer! Thanks again! Blessings, Debra
Hi there. Yes, this is a great design. Unfortunately I don't have plans. Her intent was to provide enough info on the video to get you going with the essential details. But she doesn't have plans.
My husband runs a heating and air supply warehouse....unfortunately getting stainless steel isn't an option. All they have is galvanized. If I got galvanized and coated it like the wood, would that work just as good?
Hey there @MsHomesteader Debra hasn't been able to start her channel yet, so that's why I have her video here. Hopefully she'll have her channel up at some point.
Ok, so Debra said she had no issues with buttons or zippers using this wringer. She said you may need to adjust the closeness of the rollers to help. Of course you can check with the manufacturer too on specific concerns. Hope that helps.
I love this so much! I want to make one! Just a side note to be very careful with that wringer, because my mother remembers a girl got her arm in one somehow and sometimes they got fingers in there, and the injuries were just horrible. This is great for off grid and emergencies, but my mom always did say modern appliances freed women and girls up from absolute drudgery. She remembered doing tons of laundry and hanging it all up to dry. She was the oldest of ten kids, born the year after WW2, and she was so happy when they got an electric washer and dryer. I however would love to stop paying 80 bucks every 2 weeks at the laundry mat. California is always expensive to do laundry because the water supply is often not enough.
Hello, unfortunately there are no downloadable plans for this build. Debra created this version herself and the only specifics we have is the information in the video.
I spoke with Debra and she will be writing up the step by step instructions for this build. Give her a couple weeks and I'll update you on how to get them.
How are the holes sealed around the pipes sticking from outside on the sides of the wood? Is the sealant used around the pipes on the outside? How big are the holes drilled for the pipe and drain to stick out?
I don't think her setup needs to be sealed perfectly as she is using it outside. unless being used in an application where no leaks can occur like in a snowy location or a basement, properly fitting rubber grommets should work. at 12 minutes I noticed her water does not reach the pass through point of the pvc.
@@The_Bronze_Baroness I actaully spoke with her last night and she wanted me to let you know she is for sure working on the plans. She does work a full time job, etc. Thanks for checking in. I don't have a time frame but thank you for your patience.
If I take 2 sawhorses and a rain barrel cut in half and mount the barrel to 2 sawhorses in between them it'll look the same as you have right in the beginning.
Sure, you could do that. Just not sure how sturdy and stable it would be for handling the "wash cycle". If it's not heavy enough, the whole thing will want to "walk" with the wash motion, I'm thinking. But, you may have a good idea.
@@CorJenFarm probably doesn't have to be a plastic barrel. I'm trying to figure out the cheapest most cost effective way to get our laundry done with things I might be able to get easily. Right now I have no income so I have to use what is in the property or what I can easily access. Something that might get our clothes cleaner than the bathtub and scrub brush or 5 gallon bucket and plunger.
Yes, for sure and I am ALL for using what we have. I would love to see what you come up with too. I am sure it would inspire so many others and be such an encouragement too!
I was thinking the same thing, those blue plastic barrels or sometimes they are white ones food grade are very thick and sturdy, I have 2 white ones 30 gals for catching rain off the backside of the roof and they are thick plastic.
Good afternoon. Unfortunately, I do not provide the instructions/steps for this build. I was hoping we could get those and make them available, but it just doesn't seem like it's going to pan out. The intention was to provide enough info in the video, such as measurements, to get you on the track.
Are there any step by step instruction plans for this washing machine? I would love to have all the measurements. in the video you didn't give the measurements of the PVC piping or the legs. if you did I must have missed them.thanks
Unfortunately all I have is what's in the video. Debra and a friend planned it out and built it, however she doesn't have any written steps or plans. I tried to find info on Dasher washers, but it seems hard to find. Hope you can find more information.
This is great. So much more practical than many others. Putting it on wheels is a good idea. If using wood bord make sure it's marine ply not normal ply wood. I would use galvanised piping and joints instead of pvc for strength and UV stability, especally being used outside. But pvc would be lighter. I wonder if a 44 galen drum would work for the body? How did you do the swivel joints through the wood so water tight but move? Love this design 😍
I spoke with Debra and she will be writing up the step by step instructions for this build. Give her a couple weeks and I'll update you on how to get them.
Well that's a Nice washer and to Tell you the truth that washer why washes clothes way better than the high efficiency washers they have out today with all that gadgets and gizmos and itunes and whistles and Bells and all that crap and it's a very simple machine indeed and that works well and you can't beat that and it might take a little bit of work but i think it will be just fine.
I would build a wooden wheel or something like that, so not much will come of it. So similar to a washing drum today. Ich würde ein Holzrad bauen oder ähnlich, so wird da nicht viel daraus. Also ähnlich einer Wäschtrommel heute.
You can buy any kind of water treated wood they add a chemical to it in the factory to make it waterproof or if you have just regular would you can get you varnish and give it a good coat or two
She said she did, why would you say such a thing. I am also a very capable woman and am building one myself. When you don’t have someone else to rely on you learn to do a lot yourself. We are very capable if we just get out there and do it.
I'm 70 years old and I can build it! In fact I'm going to. Already built my own coop by my self and no help. When your basicly on your own, I have a husband but he can't do anything any more, you learn!
$375¿¡!! That might as well be $1,000,000,000,000 to us! So basically you are doing this not out of necessity but as a hobby to try out what it feels like living off grid not because you cant use your washing machine and not because you cant afford a new washing machine because it is much cheaper in florida than where i live in ca California and i found numerous machines for $327¡ so why would anyone spend almost $400 for a labor intensive manual back breaker?
Okay I also thought it was pricey for the labor involved but it will still save money honestly. It's a lot upfront but would be worth it if you're willing to put in the labor. First of all, it doesn't use electricity so it would cut that cost down pretty significantly especially since the wringer and the sun are the dryers. Probably enough that over the course of a year you'd save significant money. Second, if it breaks it would be a LOT cheaper to fix it herself than getting a repair person to come out for a normal washer or dryer. Plus it would probably last longer overall. So I wouldn't be surprised if it saves her thousands at least over the course of its lifespan.
It may seem like a hobby for now, but you dont wait for a crisis to get here before you get ready. Either way, she's preparing and wanted to share with others. It may just be necessary one day.
You actually can get stuff in California cheaper than Lowe's, by going down to the landfill. California loves recycling and usually has a little store where they sell salvage items super cheap. My are has those huge drums that are food grade for about 20 to 30 dollars. You could split one in half, and use some salvage 2 x4 s for legs and they have tons of that and PVC super cheap. Depends really on if you are willing to use materials that you might have to sort through and clean up. Most of what they sell is in ok condition though.
On a sunny warm day leave a long dark hose coiled up in the sun, slowly filling the tub. Cheap hot water!
We did that for filling the bathtub as well. When I was a kid, I was the youngest, so I had to take my bath last after everyone else had used the water. Now that I am on my own, I actually get to have hot AND clean water. Gotta love living off the grid!

I was thinking the same thing great minds think alike
It won't last as long.
I thought the same. 😂

A commendable design. I will use a blue plastic drum for durability. Is the 1 inch pvc pipe stiff enough?

Very nice video. I am curious on how well that schedule 40 pvc pipe is holding up after one year.
I'm so impressed! This is so amazing in every way! You're my hero. 💪
I love this you are so smart blessing us all with this design!!!!!!

How's that wringer on buttons? Some wringers broke the buttons then some were made to be kind to buttons and zippers.
Great question 🤔
I'll check with Debra on her experience with buttons and zippers using her wringer.
Ok, so Debra said she had no issues with buttons or zippers using this wringer. She said you may need to adjust the closeness of the rollers to help. Of course you can check with the manufacturer too on specific concerns. Hope that helps.
I didn't know they were adjustable... thank you.
I love this so much! I want to make one! Just a side note to be very careful with that wringer, because my mother remembers a girl got her arm in one somehow and sometimes they got fingers in there, and the injuries were just horrible.

Does it leak from the plywood where the agitator is moving through?
If I remember correctly, it does let some water out. However, that part is high enough so that you can still run full load with minimal water loss.

uhhh most important thing, the how to get the full roundness of the wooden ends of the tub ?

I would use galvanised piping and joints instead of pvc for strength and UV stability, especally being used outside. But pvc would be lighter.
I wonder if a 44 galen drum would work for the body?
How did you do the swivel joints through the wood so water tight but move?
Love this design 😍
Concerning the swivel joint - this is not underwater - so it does not need to be sealed.
@@mygarden365 thankyou 🤗
Amazing!!!
clever and well done
Good and useful video ...... 👍
Does she have her own youtube channel?
@streetpunk99
Unfortunately she never started her channel 😕
@@CorJenFarm that's really sad. She's very entertaining
See mine
@@CorJenFarmsee mine, many posts too
Update? I'm confused on a few things
That would be great in my trailer.
what are the cuts out Measurements for everything
Hey there. Unfortunately all we have is what is in the video.
@@CorJenFarm ok thank you
I spoke with Debra and she will be writing up the step by step instructions for this build. Give her a couple weeks and I'll update you on how to get them.
@@CorJenFarm thank you so much I really appreciate that ..
if you attach that agitator to a stationary bike, it will save on your back.
I learned to do laundry with an old fashioned wringer washing machine
Love it❤
I can’t find Debra’s channel!

Yeah but you got to think about the weather
Sorry. I meant the 1-1/4” piping.
Well that's a Nice washer and to Tell you the truth that washer why washes clothes way better than the high efficiency washers they have out today with all that gadgets and gizmos and itunes and whistles and Bells and all that crap and it's a very simple machine indeed and that works well and you can't beat that and it might take a little bit of work but i think it will be just fine.
We need updates
🎉🎉🎉
Amazing
Put your self thru the ringer
I would build a wooden wheel or something like that, so not much will come of it. So similar to a washing drum today.
Ich würde ein Holzrad bauen oder ähnlich, so wird da nicht viel daraus. Also ähnlich einer Wäschtrommel heute.

😍😍😍😍
Clever
Plywood cant handle water
You can buy any kind of water treated wood they add a chemical to it in the factory to make it waterproof or if you have just regular would you can get you varnish and give it a good coat or two
The drain should not dump water right next to the washer.
Who really built this. Would love to see an instructional video how to build.
She said she did, why would you say such a thing. I am also a very capable woman and am building one myself. When you don’t have someone else to rely on you learn to do a lot yourself. We are very capable if we just get out there and do it.
This is a rude comment from someone who says I can’t more than I can I suspect
I'm 70 years old and I can build it! In fact I'm going to. Already built my own coop by my self and no help. When your basicly on your own, I have a husband but he can't do anything any more, you learn!
I see so much for the clothes to catch and tear on.
Your agitator handle is not ergonomically correct at all. Too much unnecessary stress on the body.
$375¿¡!! That might as well be $1,000,000,000,000 to us! So basically you are doing this not out of necessity but as a hobby to try out what it feels like living off grid not because you cant use your washing machine and not because you cant afford a new washing machine because it is much cheaper in florida than where i live in ca
California and i found numerous machines for $327¡ so why would anyone spend almost $400 for a labor intensive manual back breaker?
Okay I also thought it was pricey for the labor involved but it will still save money honestly. It's a lot upfront but would be worth it if you're willing to put in the labor.
First of all, it doesn't use electricity so it would cut that cost down pretty significantly especially since the wringer and the sun are the dryers. Probably enough that over the course of a year you'd save significant money.
Second, if it breaks it would be a LOT cheaper to fix it herself than getting a repair person to come out for a normal washer or dryer. Plus it would probably last longer overall.
So I wouldn't be surprised if it saves her thousands at least over the course of its lifespan.
It may seem like a hobby for now, but you dont wait for a crisis to get here before you get ready. Either way, she's preparing and wanted to share with others. It may just be necessary one day.
When shitake hits the fan your going to be glad you have this
You actually can get stuff in California cheaper than Lowe's, by going down to the landfill. California loves recycling and usually has a little store where they sell salvage items super cheap. My are has those huge drums that are food grade for about 20 to 30 dollars. You could split one in half, and use some salvage 2 x4 s for legs and they have tons of that and PVC super cheap. Depends really on if you are willing to use materials that you might have to sort through and clean up. Most of what they sell is in ok condition though.
Put your face in the machine
Video much too long.U should cut your speaking shorter.
