✅ How to Build a Barrel Train - Plans - DIY Kid's Amusement Ride - Trackless Train

[@tjcarita]

Thank you for your excellent video presentation and most professional work! After watching I immediately did a search for a metal barrel and found a nice clean one (food grade/Almond oil) and same day (Today 11/15/23) I got the barrel and I picked up the wheels at HF. and got axels coming from eBay. You are a great inspiration for dad's/mom's/granddad's and grandma's that do stuff! Thank you for putting this great and easy to understand video together!

[@NaterTater]

Wow, you're fast! Great job finding the materials so quickly. Note i have found the harbor freight bearings to wear out fast so i've pressed them out and put in these sealed units for longevity. amzn.to/3R0ua72

[@tjcarita]

@@NaterTater Nice! I'll order a few of these Marathon# 60602 Flanged Precision Ball Bearing to have handy when the HF ones fail! I'm making this for a 2 year old across the street and pulling with a Ryobi RM300e and I'm sure more little ones will come running! I'm 77 and loving KZbin just wish it was around when I was younger! Thanks so much for link Nater! Cheers, Tony

[@FernandoHernandez-ri7rd]

So cool! Easy step by step. Thank you.

[@NaterTater]

You're welcome!

[@danburch9989]

In my area, those blue plastic 55gal barrels can be had for $10. If you're careful, you can find them that had food stored in them. That might avoid the sharp edges of metal barrels and avoid rust. Might have to develop a unique way to mount them, however as they can't be welded, of course.

[@informedsrthankful2438]

So cute and thanks for sharing the how to ☺️👍

[@kennethpickens1228]

I know you made this video a long time ago.. but what kind of drill press is that.. thanks and great job on the project

[@NaterTater]

@kennethpickens1228 just a craftsman bench top one. Nothing fancy.

Excellent video!!!!!

[@NaterTater]

Thanks!

[@TheMasseyman1]

How are your train cars holding up. I just built 4 cars using your plan. Very good by the way. My concern is where the barrel is welded to the frame. Does it hold up in rough terrain?

[@NaterTater]

No problems so far. I get them out 3-4 times a year for kids parties.

Hello, what gauge is your 1" square tubing?

gracias!

[@MultiBlackcar]

Wow. This is awesome

[@NaterTater]

Thanks!

[@jayjag_57]

This is a great video!!! In what part of the video, or how do you connect the barrels??

[@NaterTater]

Do you mean the barrels to the frame with wheels? Or one barrel cart to the next barrel cart?

[@jayjag_57]

@@NaterTater One barrel cart to the next barrel cart

[@NaterTater]

@@jayjag_57 i used a clevis style hitch where the front of a cart has the two plates and the rear of a cart has a single plate that goes between the front and there is a hitch pin that goes thru all 3 plates to lock them together.

Looks Great but: 'careful I think this is how Disneyland started

[@NaterTater]

So i shouldnt have added the zip lines, off road dirt track and paddle boats already?

[@garygerard4290]

wOw ha ha ha forget Disneyland Dad, I want my birthday party at Nater's house too damm cool!

[@stevecollins1431]

Good Job were can I purchase the steering wheels and Eyes from thanks Steve Collins

[@NaterTater]

I got the steering wheels from home depot and eyes from Joann.

[@stevecollins1431]

Ok thanks

[@fathomoza1527]

[@cooter3690]

How did you connect the barrels to the frame?

[@NaterTater]

Directly welded it

[@marcisimpson1544]

Do you have the link for where you purchased the seat belt?

[@antreasorthodoxou2739]

What wheels you used?

[@NaterTater]

Links are in the video description. Harbor freight wheels/tires.

[@blacktruck5000]

Maybe I missed it but where did you buy the steering wheel at

[@NaterTater]

I got them from home depot. They are basically playground wheels.

[@blacktruck5000]

@@NaterTater Thks so much

[@Juan-kz1fj]

How much will you charge me to build 6 of them like the ones you built?

[@NaterTater]

I dont build them for sale.

[@Cosoms_Luna0738]

what weight limit on those barrel train?

[@NaterTater]

Tire/bearings are the limiting factor probably. I'd say realistically 200lbs per cart but hard to fit a 200lbs person in them.

[@javanstelfox486]

Approximately what was the cost per cart?

[@NaterTater]

$50

[@ianrego3906]

Do you sell these? Or would you?

[@NaterTater]

Sorry, I dont.

[@crestlinerflyingcrest8694]

What’s the make/model of the welder?

[@NaterTater]

Hobart Ironman 240

[@The_gaming_octopus]

Can you make it autonomous

[@NaterTater]

autonomous would take some work...self driving is more doable though. Much easier to just have my 4yr old drive though!

[@martisanti1]

Where did you buy the steering wheel?

[@NaterTater]

Bought them here: amzn.to/3HXwYuZ

[@indeliblemakes5359]

Is this for sell? I run a dog daycare and this would be perfect!

[@NaterTater]

Not for sale sorry.

[@NaterTater]

No, sorry.

[@wanmuhammadsofwan7689]

Hi. May i know cc of your atv? I want to build one with 3 barrel. So i would like to know the min cc suitable to pull the barrels.

[@NaterTater]

Mine is a 450cc class but i think you could get away with a 250cc. Even a 10hp lawnmower could pull it with short gearing (ie slow).

[@wanmuhammadsofwan7689]

@@NaterTater alright noted. Thanks. I thought 125 cc would be enough 😥

[@NaterTater]

@@wanmuhammadsofwan7689 probably depends what 125cc it is and the gearing. Maybe if it has a low 1st gear (not a CVT) it could pull it on flat ground.
