DIY boat made of four oil barrels

Front part and rear part was welded with MIG, middle part with stick welding. Boat is not heavy, two men can carry it.

[@robertmanly4418]

Terrific build, as for the edges of concern just cut some garden hose along one side and slide this over the edges. I think if I made this boat I would send it away to the galvanizer to get it all galvanized. love it , well done.

I love this boat, You don't need a lot of money,If you have a strong will,and use your imagination Great video, Thanks

[@johnballs]

not a bad idea, and it looks super stable too, if thats me i would seal the front and back and add / spray some foam at the front and end to make them unsinkable but never the less good idea, and good job! thumbs up #1627

[@bsdguy]

Dude has some real welding skills!

[@Dev_Anand_C]

Cheap and best. Great job done

[@mightiflier5813]

If you are going to weld anything from a 50 gal bucket or otherwise, make sure the barrels did not contain any kind of solvent like acetone, thinner, or most petrochemicals. Even after washing out thoroughly, power washing, and drying, the steel can leach out absorbed fumes and explode. You cannot clean these barrels and you will be injured or killed. It happens every year. With that said, this is looks like one cool project.

[@senatorjosephmccarthy2720]

Mightiflier + Before making a first cut, flush ot with water, fill barrel (or fuel tank) with water, keeping the cutting area highest. After opening substantially, it's safe. Until then, it's a bomb.

[@thorodinsun7140]

Very cool project thanks for sharing.

[@z4u68]

Yeah I see that , It was a great ideal actually. Keep up the good work!

[@pablofernando2012]

Qué inventiva maestro!!! Está hecho de manera sencilla y genial!!!

[@hectorcalderon3011]

You could even bend some tin over the edges and rivet it and you should be safe great build thanks for sharing

[@traviscouch6607]

now I know how to cap my pontoons. great info!!!

Levinho de transportar... O projeto é bom e interessante, mas de difícil transporte! Merece um like! ;)

[@marko85nis]

Nice boat. If you were to make a wooden floor out of pallet wood and anchor it to the top wooden parts with vertical supports and wedge some horizontal supports between the vertical supports and the barrel wall then you can cut out the bottom parts of the barrels which are inside the boat into packman shapes so they don't cause accidents and restrict movement inside the boat but retain most of it's structural integrity. Also that would enable you to store stuff at a dry place even if the boat takes in some water and if boards have a bit of empty space between them you can still easily drain the water from it or let the sun do it for you. Or just make the floor modular so you can take it out when the boat needs to dry or have work done on it.

I just love the genius of the poor who want something and don't have the money.

[@bukhutrey8022]

Wow,with this Texaco paint it has a look of its own, moves well and looks sturdy.Well done! Wish I could weld..

[@akeelqayoom4001]

This is awesome and easy, cool stuff, please share some more innovations like these, Thanks allot

[@nancymehaffie714]

Awesome, lightweight, cheap, stable.........Good job!

[@99rylee]

cool looking boat. genius

[@mojondro]

you can ad some pvc pipes to the remaining sharp edges and you're pretty much done, cool boat by the way

[@user-ve1ze8fy8u]

Лёгкая,лучше чем резиновая!Края везде оконтовать чтоб не порезатся и норм !

[@6969smurfy]

i know I could not weld water tight on that thin of sheet. You Da Man!!!

[@gordon4385]

While you're at it, add a giant, jumbo sized floating bbq smoker to your boat and a couple of oil barrel lounge chairs, Gilligan.

[@StevesDIYProjects7]

this old man is rad :) reuse at its best. :)

[@hdcandela5697]

Thank you. In my area, flat bottom boats sell for $1000.00 to $3000.00 dollars. There are too many spoiled rich people, Democrats and RINOs. Anyway, I met a veteran who needed a boat to feed his family. So, after he asked me a few times, I gave him my flat bottom boat for free. My wife and i are fine in our work, but he has three sons to feed and is hardly making it. So, when I need a boat, I will build this.

[@getschwifty8449]

Great ideal. Hmm. I think a good coat of Por- 15 on the inside will keep the rust away

[@tigrabamsis]

You are right, it's good idea, but it didn't cam to me first😀, thanks!

[@kamalrex1]

It looks awsome but not enought safety.it needs more balence with weight. Respects from Turkey.

[@mgcelinho3352]

Muito chik so pintar pra evitar o ferrugem 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🎣👍🏽

[@tigrabamsis]

No I didn't paint yet, I'm going to do it this winter. Also going to rebuild front part. Now it has no smooth curve and on the high speed (with the outboard motor kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJ25o2Wpjs2ri9k ) when it hits the water it makes splashes and slows down a little.

[@rodelioaro7909]

Nice idea men thanks

[@marcoantonioazevedo4724]

Olá! Parabéns,ficou ótimo!

[@borackieus]

the only thing I would do different is I would used a flexible hose to make covers for the metal rather then wood. just cut the one side of the hose slip it over the edge then use the bolt hole you already have for the wood and maybe add handles, PS the slip hose words best with soft plastic or rubber, I have used suction hose as it hold a nice shape and comes in many sizes ( of if you are like me you can find it at the dump ) =P

[@tigrabamsis]

As I didn't have the hose I made it with wood, benefit is boat got more rigid as it was before when tried unfinished. Rigidity is important for rowing and not damaging the sides of the boat where the oars are attached. Anyway thanks, its a good idea to attach the hose above the wood.Unfortunately in our country we don't have proper dump places :(

[@valtera.castroconstrucoesrefor]

[@tigrabamsis]

As I clean edges with the grinder and attached the planks, after actively using for a year I didn't have any injury. In fact bigger possibility to get tetanus infection, is from soil,walking barefoot.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

I like it! Thumbs up! I subscribed.

[@danielmadrid838]

nice boat. should rhino coat it to prevent rust

[@fujiobass]

Great idea ! and good welding work ! need to paint ? must be close to the water because of the weight.

[@sealifett8395]

That would be a great negative for a fibreglas boat

[@TV-rh6ft]

Мне понравилось, хотя и много недочетов, главное ИДЕЯ. Из пластиковых бочек еще лучше получится. Как писалось ниже, он точно РУССКИЙ.

How come you didn't just cut an angle on the bow barrel ?

[@blackswanprepping8827]

Cool!

[@truker20011]

I would like to see if a trolling motor would work on it.

use pvc pipe to cap off sharp edges

очень опасная херня. молчу про усточивость и так далее - НО вы представьте что будет с человеком который поскользнется в этой лодке и упадет? ребра жесткости реально могут просто отрезать голову. хотя бы надо наварить трубу к ним или укрыть в доске как он сделал с бортами

и всё-таки пол = палуба лучше, если она плоская. потому что ходить по такой лодке с таким дном, очень не удобно. наверное сами уже поняли .... а так лодка непотопляемая ... наверное! ☺

[@milano007100]

how did you bend a barrle?

[@tigrabamsis]

It was quite easy, just cut the barrel open, punch rigded part a little bit in, so it bends where you want and then I just bend the barrels by hands. That's how I did it.

[@milano007100]
