 Wheelbarrow I'm at the point in a digging project where I'm having to move material far enough that a wheelbarrow is worth having Now I'm not buying one of those disposable pieces of crap you buy at the store I'm not gonna make something that's gonna fall apart either. So I'm gonna try to make a pretty heavy-duty wheelbarrow It's as stainless as possible I don't want anything that's just gonna rust and fall apart and I do have some nice stainless scrap more pieces over there I'm pretty sure this is something I'll use a lot. So like for a long time So it's worth using some of my stainless stuff It is gonna take kind of a lot though All right, I'm gonna need two sticks strong pretty long sticks I've got this Not quite as thick as I would like And I've also got this Probably more than I need Kind of overkill. Hmm. Oh 10 feet Halfways like right there That would be long enough barely Yeah Nice to get a little longer. I just tried bending this longer tube. It seems pretty strong So I think I'll use that one Not this one Broken another store-bought broken thing. This is why I make things myself Guess I need to make a tape measure. It's six feet should be long enough for a wheelbarrow, right? Clear the wheel Yes, I know the wheel is not on it yet. It's not Yes, this is your factor. I still not finished Pretty start though Austin's breaking too. Oh, it's crooked. Yes, I need to make a loader. I'm kind of a loader I need to cut off that stick Nice wheelbarrow. I get killed for a spot welder right now. But I don't have time to make one I'm gonna go with the rivets rivets will look cool. Anyway Access to both sides of the material I'm using rivets. I Pop out the little stainless steel nail Because then I get a stainless steel nail and I just cut them up cut them to whatever length I need and hit them in Kind of old-fashioned style of a piece sticking out and I get the nice little nail I really want a piece sticking out here or on the other end. Well, that's minimal functional wheelbarrow right there What else do I want to do to it? I want to make this extra strong. I can make a stick coming down here on both sides and then something going back here because that the parts that are most likely to fail are right here Having this bend up and then right here having that bend up stick there and stick there prevent it I think you put a few more rivets along the side here. I Think maybe just one up here and one on the back because everything else is held in like this is the This side panel will be held in by the fold up of the metal below it And then the metal below it's held up by that so I don't worry about that Yeah, this is this part could pop out or that could pop out. So yeah an extra couple rivets there Oh, you know it two birds with one stone I don't need an extra rivet here when I put a stick from here I'll just put it right up to there put a bolt in the stick down and connect the stick to that screw there And that'll be an extra holder there. I can do the same thing with the back put a bolt in stick Yeah, I do have a bunch of these Think that'd be suitable. All right now that is a good-looking piece of stuff. Yeah As fast as you can get it. Yep, lots of times All right front stabilizer to get the weight right over the wheel rear stabilizer to get the weight near my hands Yeah, I think that's it What do I need feet on it for so I don't need to bend over to pick her up Yeah, I think I can handle that It makes loading easier anyway It's way up here have to throw everything in twice as high Beauty I think it's done. Oh nice and solid. Oh, yeah. All right. Where are my kids? I think it's just left. What am I gonna do? All right Somebody's getting a ride in this thing All right with any luck. This is the first and last wheelbarrow I ever own Never bought one before cuz I always look so boring and disposable in the stores. I'm gonna do a quick Weight test Nothing's bending the handles are still in the right places. I weigh 200 pounds. So Yeah, I'm not gonna put much more than me in it The wheel is the only thing that's not stainless steel. So I I may have to replace that at some point everything else should last thousand years, I don't know And when I do eventually replace the wheel It'll be with something that won't rest and then the whole thing will last thousand years or whatever Kind of want to pile those baby decks in here But they'll just start eating the foam you know, I Got this piece of metal from the junkyard. It used to be a Slot machine. This is the rest of my slot machine and I guess it had soundproof foam inside All right, I guess let's Go do some digging. I need to get the floor on this boat Yeah, whatever I also grabbed a smushed banana up there from my iguana buddy Well, I have two iguana buddies now Yes, I'm going to make the sounds every time I've used wheelbarrows a lot of times before I've never owned my own and This is the best wheelbarrow I've ever used by far and the reason is This may just be personal preference But most wheelbarrows this front thing sticks out further right and it sticks out further So when you tip it up it gets into the ground and then you can you know, you don't have to worry about rolling while you're trying to dump the problem is Then when you're driving around It hits everything like you try to go over a rock Crashes into the rock try to go over a piece of wood laying on the ground This thing I just drove through a bunch of off-road stuff It's just like boing boing like the wheels hitting not that front piece so nice I got over so many things that I was You know my my wheelbarrow instinct said oh you can't get over that and I was like well Let's just see maybe in mind you can and no problem another huge thing is I didn't realize how much I don't want legs on it until I was using it because that's another thing that ends up hitting things You know if you're trying to I mean if you're on flat ground fine No problem, but if you're on ground with you know lumpy stuff they end up hitting You know there's obstacles you get your wheel up and over something and it hits your feet and it's like And then the last thing I Have to look at another wheelbarrow to confirm this but I think the weight is low in this wheelbarrow compared to most wheelbarrows because You know in most wheelbarrows you lift it up And you gotta you gotta gotta put a fair amount of effort into keeping it from tipping But this thing is it feels so stable compared to other wheelbarrows of use partly. I'm sure because I have a big wide Wheel on the front, which I'm sure helps a lot But I think a lot of it is also just that the weight is lower than in most wheelbarrows But yeah, that wheel probably helps a lot. I don't know either way. It's so easy to drive around and do everything Normally I have to like focus you know when I put it up when I fill something up with this much dirt And focus on keeping it from tipping but this is I don't know. I'm just I'm really happy with this All right. I gotta get back to work
