And if the snow is too deep it will automatically load the excess in the back of the van so you can haul it off!!! Ingenious.

Holy snow pusher now that's a PLOW!!! Very simple to make and easy to use. You get a * * * * * 5 star rating for Design

Dude you're brilliant I'm in the process of doing this right now I couldn't finish it before our snowstorm but I'll have it done this weekend I have it all attached to the van except I wanted to get some snow plow shoe skids this will help the board slide a little better on my driveway because I have the grass in the middle and I can adjust the heighth of the board so it's not scraping on the ground cuz I have a lot of bumps in my driveway too but I want you to know that you made this all possible thank you

Brilliant! Now when it the snow flies I can send my old lady out in the Mom mobile to do the driveway.

I logged in just to leave a comment here. You are a genius with a capital G. Your device looks simple but the mechanics, forces, and engineering behind it are quite complex! I'm making one for myself. It would require some tweaking, but this could easily be a prototype for a real life, working model meant for the public.

thank you sir, i copied your design and did my long driveway in less than 10 min. it usually would take an hour or more depending on weight and quantity. you may have saved my life. many blessings,

Glad to hear!! I did my driveway today to. We got dumped on.

One of the coolest things i've ever seen. Way to go

Simply amazing!! Thank you for your idea!!

Thanks man for the more detailed explanation. Mega storm to arrive starting tomorrow night, so tonight I will be off to Lowes to get the stuff you have on here. I can't wait to try it out. Thanks again!

Thanks very much! Looks like a great alternative to the other, much pricier options!

Simple and somewhat effective, nice. Add a steel scraper.

Way to go, let it snow! Thanks.

THANK YOU! I made one and used it for the first time tonight and it worked beautifully!!! 👍👍 I thought I was living like a boss with my snowblower.... I almost bought the hitch sportplow for close too $2,000

I thought I'd seen it all (until now). I can't wait for you to get back into making new videos, Thanks!

you are so smart and creative! Thank you for making this video 💓

Nicely done. I've watched many of your wood working videos and somehow missed this.

That's awesome!!! Very creative.

Made one---IT WORKED GREAT---thank you !!!

Nice job and a clever idea!

ok I just made something as this, I haven't tried it out yet , ill post when we get more snow, we just rent so I didn't want to spend big dollars on a real snow plow, went to the used section of doors and bought an old one, Thanks for posting, this gave me the idea for my 2001 4x4 ..

Absolutely love it ! ! Kudos ! !

You did a great job!!!

OH that is so funny because it's so simple but absolutely genius...and it works great!! Good job man!!

Way to have fun, to freakin cool, what a riot !!

works good cheap simple easy to fix I like it.

Wow- that worked pretty well!

excellent design..... I am going to try it.

😂 👍 Simple Man snow 🌨 plow. By the time you've pissed around with this idea 💡 the snow has melted. 😂 👍

You are a genius!

Hahahahahaha that’s awesome ,ingenuity at its finest,kool man

I Iove this !! Imma hook it up on my 04 Odyssey

At first thought this was the crazy Canadian wood worker channel. May his poor minivan rest in peace. (The guy who turned a bowlwith his mini van). Great thinking on this one sure beats shoveling.

Could have used that last week here in Michgan. Pity its only good in pushing. I'd have had a bank piled in front of my garage, Great thinking Mike.

What can i say.. It works and he showed it in action!

Easiest , fastest build to plow snow thank you ..

excellent primitive but good I am so glad people are thinking of alternative you probably saved money this year but how can we improve it

that's fucking awesome

Brilliant!

SWEET, L❤VE IT!!!

Excellent ❤

:)...Beats the hell out of shoveling!

you go!

I'd put some rubber, silicone or foam on the back to prevent it from scratching up your car. The chain itself needs some protection too. I love the idea though. I'll probably do it myself next year

HILARIOUS!

I think I'd put some angle iron on the bottom to prolong the life of the 'plow' but otherwise this should work with my mid-size all-wheel drive SUV, even on my gravel lane. Not sure if it would have helped a couple of weeks ago with the 4 & 5 ft drifts in my lane though. Had to have a guy with a tractor dig me out - saw 4 distinct layers of hard wind-packed snow.

Don’t forget to make the fail vid too! 😂

add a couple toolbox wheels to the bottom corners on the return side and you won't drag so much snow back with you!

Works best on a beater. Save the wear and tear on the good vehicles.

Hey great idea. Does the plywood ever get caught in cracks etc. Especially backing out of driveways or sidewalks etc

It makes great sense that the chain links are the weak point and will break with too much resistance. What size chain are you using? Thank you!

@mediumsizedm

Generally, plywood does not break steel chain.

Try using some tire cables or chains. They would probably help with the bigger piles of snow.

as far as i'm concerned your right up there with Thomas Edison

LOL......but it seems to work!

I've seen guys drop 80k on a plow rig and this guy over here with an 800 dollar van 4 chains and 30 bucks in plywood talking about dave Ramsey eat your heart put bud!!

How thick is the plywood and how many pieces? What kind of chain did you use and how to attach it to wood. I have a truck and am to oldto go out in the freezing cold with snowblower would rather be in warm truck thank you

well done there sir ...how she work on gravel driveway ????

I'm going to make this this week but I was just wondering since I have the 5th edition Dodge caravan I don't have the outside hooks to hook my chain two was wondering if I need those two outside chains what do they do are they that important

So on my truck I could remove the tail gate and mount some clips inside the bed of the truck im good to go hmmm worth a shot at it for sure.

fuckin' brilliant!

Can you use a wooden pallet?

how thick is the plywood....?

How long are the chains that you used

bolt some caster wheels on the back of the plywood at the bottom, then when you drive forward it and it tips, it will lift the bottom off the ground so you dont drag the snow forward

Hi. I really love your invention and would like to make one of my own. However, I don't think my Toyota Sienna has a place to hook uo the shorter chains. It only has the seat hooks. Do you have any suggestions? Also what is the length of each of the two sets of chain? Ever worried you're going to back into something like a curb and break something? I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes, Greg

@Woodentoolcompany2

Without seeing it I wouldn't know. The chains I use are light enough that if I hit something solid it will just break a chain. As far as curbs believe it or not it just rides up over them as long as I hit them on a bit of an angle

You could just get a snow blower too

How thick is this?

Great, until you hit the snow a little too hard and set off the airbags.
