This is adorable! And I‘m always glad to see kids being encouraged to learn to make stuff themselves regardless of gender :)

[@tste8361]

Richard for the W!!!! Just got done making one for my kids

[@fadetounforgiven]

Because we've always seen Richard using gloves when gluing pvc ;-)

[@bennewton3560]

True

[@vbbent]

Goosebumps

[@luckyvet]

Oh Richard, if you only uploaded this last year I'd be a few hundred dollars richer and my kids would know geometry.

[@harrisonlang9218]

CV 😂

[@lazaronogueira595]

Didnt bring a cutaway

[@ThePhilandPam]

I might just give this a go, thanks guys 👍

[@lukeoldham4778]

Hey just to say striker and forward is kind of the same thing forward is another is another word to describe an attacking position 👍

[@Ryanwolson12]

Love the football goal

[@augustreil]

These two kids will now be able to do this with their children which is what it's all about.

[@apdemon]

This video give me lot of idea

[@MsDolphins87]

Is this for one or 2 goals

[@AdityaMehendale]

ZIP TIES!! Please don't cut them off like that! The stubs can leave nasty cuts. A flush-trim cutter is *the* way to go. Electrical techs leak the magic red-juice regularly as a result of inconsiderate colleagues leaving zip-tie stubble on cables.

[@scotttovey]

The only reason I cut them down to the collar is because they look better. Good to know there's an additional safety reason for doing it.

[@DK-bm5rg]

They actually make a special cutter for zip ties, so there not sharp after you cut them

[@nnamerz]

If you don't have a zip tie cutting tool, and still have sharp edges, you can take a lighter to the pointed edge for a few seconds (which softens the plastic) and reshape it so it's not as sharp. Or you can put some scrap foam/sponge/cotton balls on the pointed edge and wrap around it with some tape.

[@AdityaMehendale]

@@nnamerz You can get a "good enough" flush-trim cutter for less than the price of two cups of coffee. If you use it to exclusively cut zip-ties, it will last you a lifetime. Uncut, or flush-cut. There really no excuse for anything else.

[@nixonwu1754]

what is the diameter of the pvc?

[@Aepek]

Like the vid & also seeing kids involved & actually allowed to "do" stuff....with current supervision, they can even use a saw, as it should be😊 Was wondering if know the cost of making a goal vs buying one, as I'm interested to know if cheaper to make yourself(it's a great entry level activity that can get ppl involved & spending time together is a good thing as well, besides watching tv, lol). Cheers, A

[@SubsonicNoise]

Aepek Depends on availability and pricing of pvc pipes and fittings where you‘re from - I‘d wager that this ends up slightly cheaper

[@nyoing]

What diameter pipe was used/is recommended?

[@fatboy7185]

Im trying to find out the same thing

[@Miaa479]

Hi i wach your videos every day

[@ShawnBauer]

Hundreds of power tools in that barn and he makes the kids cut it by hand. Where is Norm! Just kidding... great project!

Im Dreaming Of Being a striker in soccer

[@GrandTheft60116]

That look ps nice

[@fonzymares5807]

Nice 👍

[@James_Johnson79]

That feeling when a 10 year old cuts a pipe straighter than you. 😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[@christianktm2910]

Better than lukaku

[@Trameries]

That kid knows striker and forward are the same things right

[@ncooty]

If you paint that PVC, it'll slow the photodegradation. Otherwise, you'll be making a new goal in a couple of years... when the kids have moved on to another sport anyway. :)

[@mrjiang4193]

sorry to say, I don't think that net would last. You need more durable one. Actually that's why I was watching it. I am trying to get some durable net.

[@olivermansfield8341]

Since when is it only for kids

[@Bsyphas]

Hi

[@Guardducks]

Keep practicing Richard, lol

[@saulgoodman2018]

5:58 don't you mean tweezers, not zip ties?

[@santj92]

That laugh tho.

[@Tums605]

COOL I DONT HAVE ONE😭

[@melissamartinez9941]

6:31 that guy got megged And for a goal

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

Our society​ is far from perfect but we have made some progress, in my youth no one would have tought to include a girl and show them they can do it has well. These inclusive videos are inspiration to girls and help build their confidence (we still need to work on this aspect because of a few pricks who tell that them girls can't do that).

[@OsmarPonce]

Sylvain Michaud no, girls need to be inside learning how to cook for there future husband and kids, what use is there for them to know how to cut and glue pvc??

[@disturbedrocks1996]

@@OsmarPonce you're a moron!

[@sylvainmichaud2262]

Well their are videos showing BOYS and girl how to cook. As for the male dinosaurs (who think of themselves as Alpha males), I'm sure they can find videos showing how to find a mate that can do it (Jordan Peterson probably has one). That's the beauty of KZbin !

6:11 not if the deer are good ⚽ soccer players or play for the US Olympic soccer team.

[@adrianosler1682]

or as its properly called a goal net or a 5 aside goal or a football goal lol

[@justin0957]

These kids did more work then the adults on this show. The adults usually just watch and say OK

[@kidalwys]

Justin Hernandez your banned from KZbin 😂

[@sdutango]

I hope you're just joking. In case you're not, he's teaching them, they need hands on experience.

[@GenZyannd]

why are Tee-Y used here not, Tees?

Center offense 💀

[@mnight207]

They didnt account for the kerf of the blade. HAHAHAHAHA. No, but in all actuality, we know if you have a 10' pipe and you need 2 5's, the 10' pipe will not suffice.

[@MsUltrafox]

Sadly that goal will last about 30 minutes. 1 good hard shot and the net is gone.

[@MMKLYH]

illuminati hahahahahahaha do you actual think they kids could hit a hard shot the boy said he plays striker or forward which is the same thing and the girl said well I can’t even remember but I know that I’ve never ever heard someone say it

[@Democracy_Manifest]

Alright Tony Yeboah calm down lad

[@NoahRonaldo22]

The net has zip ties on it so it wont go anywhere

[@Exayevie]

I'd say this show is worth it's weight in gold, but shows don't weigh anything so that would be an infinite lie

[@CR-qu5jc]

Dad joke 6:56

[@user-mx6me1yv1u]

Striker and Forward are the same positions 😂

[@nyratk1]

All strikers are forwards but all forwards aren't strikers.

[@squiiddzz]

it’s not soccer! it’s football.

[@bwiegs2008]

Talks to the kids like they are adults using terms that they sure don't know or understand
