How to make a homemade disc golf basket

[andreasHauch]

I used a steel pipe so maybe this advice wont work out for you.

I went to a plumber and got him to cut threads on the pieces of pipe, and I also bought this metal gizmo called a flange (which is essentially a flat piece of metal with an inch of pipe with threads cut on the inside welded to it). Then I went home and attached the flange to the wheel (which was a bit of a challenge) after that I screwed the pipe into the flange.

Maybe this trick could work with plastic as well.

[WBUDUDE]

i still don't understand how you attached the wheel to the pole. I made my own but I can't figure out how to attach the wheel to the pipe. Im using pvc so its not hard to drill into. Could you offer me a better explanation of how you did it? Thanks man!!

[acousticcarnival]

I hear this damn song on every YouTube video. Ugh.

The required deflector support diameter (PDGA standards) for both championship and standard baskets is 57 cm +/- 4 cm, the 26" bike rim that Mr. Wilson uses is 66 cm, to meet these requirements you´d have to use a rim between 21" and 24".

Love the project and am trying to put one together myself.

Peace

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

@andreasHauch The actual diameter of a 26" bike rim is a little under 23" oddly enough. Making it the perfect size for a "deflector support" for the chain assembly. I researched all PDGA standards before making the basket. Grab a tape measure and check it out :)

@andreasHauch

You´re right sorry. Odd though

@andreasHauch 

[bobtrigger55]

i am making a basket with a friend. how long are the chains about 2 feet?

[CheezeDipper]

Nooo! Not 009 Sound System!!!



[HERM3333]

WHAT DID YOU USE TO HOOK THE CHAINS TO THE BIKE RIM, I NOTICED ITS NOT "S" HOOKS???

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

@HERM3333 The outer chains are attached with S hooks the inner chains are attached wit zap straps

[metamorphic12345]

isnt this song a fisherspooner remix?

[discuni]

everything available at home depot or lowes,2 ft section of threaded pipe was about 12 bucks,the flanges cost about 7 bucks a piece.For me the chain was the most expensive part at 1.50 a ft.The sprinkler hise was 14 bucks for 50 ft.Any way thanks c wilson,my basket finished up great

[zattaltin]

Where do you find the threaded pipe at? That is about the only part that I haven't been able to locate. I tried Lowe's website but I haven't had any luck. Thanks for the plans its good work.

[forithan]

@zattaltin its in the plumbing section at any lowes store. they sell it in a variety of lengths. :-D

[jas0nsim0n]

how much?



[PhillMcCrackinn]

were can i find the blk shelf brackets

[orionmyth]

very nice portable

[TheSara21]

This is an awesome video, but where can I go to get the materials, ie. 50 foot of 2/0 chain, 50 S hooks and a 16" bike tire, for under what it would cost to go buy a basket?

[wow06]

This is a really good video on how to make basket good job

[TheHolyRoses]

the instructions asked for 2' pipe, that is way too short. doesnt it have to be taller?

[ffaM1LKSHAKE]

how tall is this basket? only ~4 feet tall? isnt the regulation 54'? you only required 2 2' pipes. can you help me??

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

@ffaM1LKSHAKE The pipes are 2 feet each but when you add the flanges and a 1" base and a 1" piece at the top flange the all the lengths are the same as a discatcher. and the discatcher is 54" to the top of the yellow band not to the bottom of it

[CheeseMuscle]

can u make me a mini and a big basket and thn i can just buy thm frm u

[wow06]

@CheeseMuscle Do some Work

[guitardude864]

blah



[guitardude864]

hey man i have watched this video several times and are now in the process of building a basket to your specs.. just wondering do you have 12 outer chains and 6 inner if so how what is the length from rim to chain loops

[TeamKonabikes]

if the outer chains are made at 24 inches what should the inner chains be?

Thanks.

[Nob0dyImportant]

not this song again nnnnooooo.....

[Rockyboy5151]

This is awesome. I'm more interested in having a permanent basket, what adjustments should I make?

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

Check out my other videos the original Wilson Basket is made with a fence post just dont cut the post and sink it into some cement

[bran367]

just get a instep, it s the cheapest u can buy

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

a little late for buying tips but thanks. I did my research before I made a basket and it is cheaper to build a high quality basket with more strands of chains than buy a cheap prefabbed like instep and add chains.

[smalcome]

hey i have another question for you- did you really mean 50 feet of sprinkler pipe? or 50 inches? the list said 50'

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

Yes 50 feet

[smalcome]

hey sweet plans- i'm definitely using your videos as inspiration to make my own basket as i wait for winter to leave. about how much did this cost if you can remember?

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

Basket - $20

Rim - free

Chains - $50

Portable poles and flanges $40

Fence post for non collapsible $8

Base - Free wood

in total expect to pay around $100 but still cheaper than a good basket

[smalcome]

@MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON nice- but that's a real sturdy portable basket. well worth it if you ask me!  i'll post a response video if i get it done!

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

if you are using regular fence post then you would shave down a piece of wood (2x2) so the tip fits inside the pole then hammer it in 6" and cut it off at the edge of the pole. Then by using a large wood screw fasten the tire through the axle hole into the wood inside the pole. The screw should apply pressure to the inside of the pole securing it in place.

[rotchmike30]

hey, just wondering if you could re explain how the rim gets attached to the pole!?

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

For the portable Wilson basket it is attached by first removing the axle. With the threaded poles and flanges you screw a floor flange to 1" thick wood and cut it out around the flange. Then take a long wood screw and washer and feed it through the axle and screw it into the wood. The rim will now have a floor flange screwed to the bottom of it which the threaded pole will screw into

[rotchmike30]

awesome man.... thank you soooo much!!!! theses are the best free plans i have seen that are actually possible to follow!!

[MRCHRISTOPHERWILSON]

Thanks! glad to help out fellow disc golfers
