My dad would make anything he needed or when repairing something. He simply was a genius and my go to for issues. I called him Papa MacGuiver. He would’ve loved your project, as do I. Thank you for showing step by step how you made it and demoing using it. Wonderful work!

My dad always told me to not be a consumer but a producer. You, sir, are a great producer! Great job.

Excellent design and fabrication it really can't be improved upon. I would choose this mixer over a store bought model.

Awesome video! Great audio notation and I love how you include the mishaps and modifications as well.

Just great!! Im in the mid of making one. Right after I saw your design... which is way better than mine... early in the morning tomorrow... I will have to tell the guy in d workshop to pend the work... until I give them a new design. Great tx, buddy!

Great video mate, you've done a really good job.

Sweet design and build along with a good video and narration as a teenager working with my Father i hand mixed lots of concrete for a large addition on our Florida home that most homes in Florida are a concrete block construction. With a stucco finish The old man wouldn’t spring for a electric mixer since he had me a teenage boy to mix for him LOL yes it is a backbusting / tiring job Watching you guys use the mixer Really makes so much sense And using the motorcycle parts was a great idea

Great re-using and recycling of components and materials. Thanks for sharing.

Salam from Azerbayjan. Very good design, work and presentation. Good luck on your future works.

Love it! A bit of back yard engineering solves a lot of problems.

Super cool. Appreciate you taking the time to show how to make it. Parts descriptions are pretty vague making it hard to follow but still very rad you took the time to record it.

Great job and wise use of materials!! Good luck with future ideas!!

Great & excellent job. I must confess that I'm impress. It's so hard to only get the proper measurements for the barrel to fit in the frame and get the wheels to push perfectly on the drum, so it can roll whitout being out of alignment. It's often that we can manage to have the idea. But being able to create a perfect scaled plan in another thing. 2 thumbs up!!

Great innovation. I have a spare 44 gall drum and which I will keep now that I've seen how practical they can be. NOTE to anyone trying to imitate Aceman's use of grinders without safety covers: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Obviously Aceman is very experienced. My dad nearly severed his finger doing this with a small grinder and steel blade with the cover removed while cutting door architraves.

Now this is a great idea! I was thinking of a dimmer switch when low and behold, you used one! :) The improvements you made were spot on, I noticed the issues as I was watching and you addressed them all... turned out very nice!

My only other concern was the base of the barrel where the chain is welded... if the barrel ever dents it will impact the contact between the gear and chain. I'm just curious how it will hold up through repeated uses. I actually was expecting you to wrap some iron, like 1" or so, around it to strengthen it. Anyways, just thought of that after I posted :P

@Aceman307

Thanks. I was a little worried at first using the bridge rectifier and dimmer switch, because all the info I could find on a power supply for this motor were expensive or complicated. But I have been using this setup and it does not get hot and it powers this mixer no problem. These were spare parts I had from when I was building wind turbines. Thanks for watching.

I loaned it to a couple of handy men that were doing a job for my neighbor. They used it for a week straight and had no problems with it. I have a job coming up where I will be using it a lot so I will post a follow up video. The rim were I welded the chain is pretty strong. I could have reinforced the place were I welded the attachment in the back but so far so good. If it breaks it would be an easy fix.

I love it. Good stuff guy. Keep it up!!

if need be, to counter the weight against the bearing you could put a wheel on either side to run on the rim of the barrel so it doesn't have as much rearward thrust. great job.

@twagner6155

I'm having trouble with my thrust too.

great project. I have a few suggestions. A shorter barrel for better balance. A smaller mouth for pouring and metal wheels to reduce the wear. Rubber wheels won't last too long with all the weight .

awesome stuff!!! Love that its readily made from easy available material

I like this. Might end up making one for out work to be done later on the property/farm. Some ideas to think about: * Since using a DC powered motor: - you could actually reverse the motor for pouring. The same way a cement truck does. - slow it down for pouring * You have the fins in there already, just extend them a little closer to the opening to aid in pouring in reverse. Or add a 3rd row of them closer to the opening Great work above all! :) Good explanation, easy to hear (actually had to turn down the vol slightly), and clear videos.

Awesome job!! And so helpful!! Thank you.

Exelente trabajo y fácil de realizar, estaba buscando una idea y por acá no la encontré (Chile) es decir hay pero no tan completa como esa agradecido por el buen trabajo, un gran saludo desde Quillon Chile.

Great job. One suggestion: make the base adjustable height so you can pour directly to the ground, as well as a bucket or wheelbarrow

This is really amazing .

I realize this was posted years ago, but had some suggestions for those looking to build a mixer. I've built a couple, the first small one used a HF 2500lb winch motor, it already has the gear reduction and runs on 12v. Used a car fwd hub. I also used golf cart wheels and it pivots on the wheels, so the balance is important, I can lift it and roll it around with the load inside. The chain sprocket is a good idea. One thing I found with my bigger one (used fwd hub and transaxle to get 10:1 ratio, then another reduction as input to transmission and used a big winch motor) is the mix paddles inside should not be up against the barrel, make sure to have a gap there and raise the flat bar. My smaller one used inline skate wheels and they held up just fine. Oh also, the square corner in the back just gets the concrete stuck there, you can see commercial mixers use a rounded or beveled edge in back. For my big one I did like you did for the front, for the plastic barrel, I had to stuff it with some metal plate with concrete behind it. This added weight to it, but the hdpe plastic barrels nothing sticks to it.

Gracias amigo, buen vídeo, felicitaciones!

Impressive.....loved the chain drive.

I think I'm probably just going to buy one to replace the one I gave to a neighbor several years ago - just too much work for me compared with what I'm willing to pay to buy one. Having said that, I think you should be proud of the one you fabricated; you did a really nice job! Were I to have more time on my hands, I might be of mind to try making one, and would probably copy yours closely, as it's worth copying. Many thanks for sharing it with the rest of us.
