$51 Homemade Barrel Kayak How To

[@SAVAG3RABB1T]

Aweome video! Loved the instructions. My wife and I are inspired to design and build some for 2 based on this build for fishing a small lake. Newly subbed. Looking forward to more content!

Very cool, I want to see how yours turns out. Also, please check out my homemade barrel pontoon boat builds. Thanks for watching and for subscribing!!

[@Paulman50]

You never cease to amaze me, that's a brilliant build, BUT !!! , you know as well as I that, that thing has to have a motor.

[@chud327]

Thank you so much!!! I am wanting to stick the trolling motor on next. Thanks so much for watching.

[@ccccen]

Now that's where you'll spend much more monies, do to registration due to a motor, all motors in the wATER MUST BE REGISTER WITH DMV.

[@terrycollins3954]

Ideal for fishing up and around the Taymar river and I’m just a 5 minute walk from the river👍

[@chud327]

Very cool, grab a wagon and pull it to the river. Thanks for watching

[@curiousgeorge4674]

I love building anything out of PVC.

[@chud327]

Me too, it is a good material to work with. Thanks for watching

The canoe holds water pretty good!

Yes it does and thanks so much for watching.

[@usinoz]

Inspirational. Great work .

[@chud327]

Thanks so much and thanks for watching.

[@v6d6]

Looks great. Just wonder if it still works if you dont use the Ts and elbows. Instead simply use two 2x4 to hold the barrel and the pipes.

[@chud327]

It should do fine… thanks for watching.

interesting. that seems to work pretty well, lol. thanks for sharing 😄

[@chud327]

I was impressed with it and thanks so much for watching.

[@docink6175]

thats cool but Id need 10 pipes to stay afloat and a bucket of crisco to get in the barrel...the barrel barge is a likely candidate though

[@chud327]

Got to be the funniest comment of the week or maybe month! Thanks so much for watching.

[@waynegilchrist1596]

Not a "white water" craft but a fun build.

[@chud327]

Would no be great for hitting rock at all. But yes it was fun. Wish I could find bigger barrels. Thanks for watching!

[@waynegilchrist1596]

@@chud327 not sure what sizes of barrels are available but larger ones would be good. One thing I haven't seen is anyone using foam to fill their barrels. It would offer an unsinkable safety factor and it's fairly inexpensive... Just a thought.

[@eggyboi1217]

The people who say “just buy a kayak“ will never understand the joy of making something strange and fun just for the heck of it.

[@chud327]

Very well said and. thanks so much for watching.

Why would you offset the pontoons and put it off balance

[@chud327]

I did some experimenting with where to put the pipes, I feel that was putting it in balance. Thanks for watching!

[@RockeyDAproductions]

OHHHHHH, i have been using that pvc glue wrong, i thoght it was like CA glue you use on speakers. you put on the glue part first then the purple stuff was an activator.

[@bobbyduke777]

needs a motor.

[@chud327]

Tried a motor in later videos and thanks for watching.

[@ccccen]

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

[@chud327]

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.

[@shizont]

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

[@chud327]

Maybe that is why they fired me… sorry for the disappointment but thanks for watching.

[@ccccen]

$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.

[@chud327]

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

[@harryfritter8266]

That's really cool! I was looking at the design from above and wondering if a paddle wheel could be made from it. I don't know why I thought that. Such a cool project

[@chud327]

A couple of paddle wheels would be sweet! I may start with a trolling motor first. Thanks you so much and thanks for watching.

[@chaegibson720]

chud327 please make some peddle paddle wheel boats that would be amazing

[@mikeemmons1079]

Will it make the Cuba run? Asking for a friend.

[@chud327]

Funny and thanks for watching.

[@JamesThompson-xl4yu]

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!

[@chud327]

That would be cool and more leg room too. Thanks so much and thanks for watching.

[@ahmadmersarani3767]

PVC-pipe can be put styrofoam inside for unsinkable purpose... hehe 😁

[@chud327]

[@chud327]

[@jairoleyva123]

Looks and works great! I've made one myself. If you place the pipes a little higher about 15 cm (6inch) UP from the low part of the barrel the pipes won't go so down to water. You did a great job.

[@chud327]

Good tip, I should try it and thanks for watching.

The point about leaving out any foam is ok until you may have a leake🤷‍♂️😳🤬foam acts as a good buoyancy aid to prevent that situation🤷‍♂️🤓I’m in the process of making one myself for fishing on the Taymar river 🇬🇧. Great video

[@chud327]

[@charliekirsch8051]

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]

I still have most of the mower, however, I did sell the 589ed Craftsman and I let someone use the boggers. I am always hunting bigger and better boggers, but no one seems to want to get rid of them. Thanks so much for watching and I will try to get some mower action out soon.

When it comes to glue you should use the 925 it is primer and glue in one works really well save a few bucks

[@chud327]

[@captainfragger6295]

An inner tube under the barrel would carry a lot. The pontoons would work as stableizers... Hawaii style

I really need a bigger barrel, like maybe 100 gallons... Thanks again.

[@thomassmith8700]

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]

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.
