Son of a dock builder…smart feller

Now that is quite a design! My hat is off to you!

[@ElectroTree01]

That’s cool! How did you allow the ram on the reeving system to drop the weight fast?

[@------country-boy-------]

pretty slick

[@ArchersMadHouse]

What are the chances I can get in touch with you to possibly get some detailed specs of the barge, my main point of intrest is your pulley system on your upright and the ram size you're using .

[@caseynicholls6170]

Great video. We just build a pile driver with a gas powered winch as the primary that runs the hammer, and a Warn winch that can be used for other lifting. Are your spud pipes hydraulic too? I'd really like to incorporate some of these into my barge. I love how you can fine tune the boom placement. We drive 8-12" round pilings from 12-40' long.

Very cool! Well done! Will the concrete rest on the piles, or are they to support concrete forms or something else? If they are permanent, what type of wood are the piles?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Along the water side of the posts, palings are driven in all the way around and held with a 6x2 along the top. Front posts then tied to back posts. Back filled with metal. Forms for concrete then bolted to front of post for lake overhang and then concreted on top. All timber is H6 treated pine.

Is the anyway to contact this company to talk about a job for C.R Crawford Construction based in Northwest Arkansas?

Haha. Yep.

[@FatFoolNDaPineWoods]

Your spud (stabilizer) system intrigued me. I like that. What operates the chain that runs the stabilizers up and down? I'd love to see a detailed video of them.

[@thomasweaver4791]

It looked like a nice little lake, but I don't see what they are trying to build with all those narrow posts.

[@CockatielCompanion]

That's what happens when you skip parts of a video. ;)

[@kemuelg6266]

I need to build a wood pier can you help me?

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

Unlikely as you probably live on the other side of the world.

[@itsmatt2105]

This is very cool piling barge but a couple guys, a couple planks and a medium size Rhino driver could probably have done this very close to shore project in a fraction of the time. Even one big guy could probably have done it. Why did you do this this way?

[@ExploringCabinsandMines]

It's Matt it's for making a living

[@sipthewater]

They go down easy. I'd use a stepladder with padded feet, 12' or whatever, and a simple tool with 4 guys to trade out and I'd be done in a tenth of the time as that thing. Moneymaker toy. Sorry, I'm a production worker.

[@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL]

With this I can do one every 6 minutes by myself.

[@whitfordjosh]

Yep DIY if you have plenty of money lol.
