Why not tig weld it may I ask?
@@rickyheck6780 because I only have a mig. Tig would have been much easier but I simply didn’t have immediate access to one.
Outstanding job. How long can you get the side bent?
The sides of the boat?
@@austinb4254 I think it’s 20x8 sheets, so you can get it bent all the way out to 20 and you have 96inches to work with for the bottom and sides. So A 56 inch bottom gives you roughly 20 inch sides.
I was wondering whether the walls can be broken with a sledge hammer? Shouldn't you use metal on the walls?
@@motto666 I’m sure if you beat long enough you could bust the concrete but they have metal rebar running all the way down each cavity so they would have to beat a while and cut a while to be able to get in.
I'm curious how much in parts did this current smoker total cost
That thing came out awesome. I tried welding aluminum once. I wasn’t proud of it. I’m thinking of doing something like this on my aluminum center console fishing boat. What to you guess it weighs?
@@tsjuno probably 100-150
Are you using 1” pvc and are the bolts 5/16 x4” long
great job...💪
thanks
how you like the spool gun? ive been debating getting one for at least 4 years. one of these days ill get one. or get a welder to tig alum.
I got it as a way to weld aluminum until I could get a good tig. I still haven’t bought a tig. lol. I like it and it’s certainly sufficient, but I would love to have a push pull mig. Just can’t justify it right now.
This is also great for us softball players! Thanks for sharing.
👍🏻thanks for watching.
If it was legal in my state I be dumping them in all my fishing spots 😂
Yes…what a G!
How could I get the file . Great video! I wanna try this out myself
Drop your email and I’ll send them.
That Camp Victory hat was lookin fresh! Great video and awesome work. Keep it up.
Figured you would like that.
You have the templates for sale by chance boss?
I’m fresh out of them. I had a few but it got to be such a pain. I wish I could get someone to put them in a cad file and I could just email them.
Awesome boat. I'm thinking about building one my self. Get the materials from Pierce aluminum I was gonna make a 1648. How long did this haul take ? (Hours) I'm looking to save money and I'd think it would be awesome making my own money, but from the looks of it it looks like a lot of work 🤣 and the money you spent was probably around at least 6-8k? Idk
You will have that in the materials for sure. It’s an incredible feeling to build something yourself that rivals the best boat builders out there. You could probably buy a cookie cutter boat off the lot just as cheap but if you take the time, you can have something as nice as a prodigy for about 1/3 of the price. BUT with your name on it. I have another build video coming soon of one I just completed that’s an 1856 and I had around 130 hours in it.
Pretty sweet miter saw set up you got there. Is that the same welder set up you would use when you weld up a boat?
Yep. Same one.
Quite the box. Some fresh hay n I'd sleep in it. Put me a satellite dish. Front porch swing....
lol. I heard that. Without the divider I think a couple cots would be just right. Mosquito net and a fan and you’re in business. 😂
Might be my favorite opening ever 😍🤣
It was ok
Ok I’m here
Has anyone tried this trap yet?
Still like the blind?
Very much.
I’ll be building this soon. We are covered up in turtles! Can you give a general cost to build this and I’m curious what the ramp is made of? Can I find that at the hardware store?
I think it was around 100 dollars but you could build several for just a little more. The mesh will come in a big roll that enough to do several, plenty of glue as well for multiple traps. It would be super cheap if you could just buy enough stuff to do one. I bought the ramp from my local scrap yard, you can find anything at the hardware store that will bend and has texture though. Maybe a piece of expanded metal or even wood that was screwed to some brackets that were bent to the right angle.
Great video!! 👍
Anyone know where these can be bought near the Houston area?
Отличная лодка!
Hey Jack, How many sheets of turf did this take? Also did you use hydro turf or did you use something less expensive like Amazon. If it’s the less expensive stuff I curious as to how it has held up in your experience
I bought 4 sheets and had a decent bit left over but I wanted to make sure I could keep all the lines going in the same direction and enough to cover cooler. I used the hydroturf. It still looks like day I put it in. Good stuff.
Thank you for always responding man! I just got done building my surface drive boat and you have been very helpful through the process! You are literally the ONLY person that has shown your build process of this type of boat online. I will be painting and rigging out over the next two weeks and I would like to send you some pics if that’s ok. If so, where should I send?
@@dirtmcguirt6118 shoot yeah. I would love to see them. Look me up on fb
Nice job!!
I will have to say that you built a super sweet boat. You have inspired me to build my own. I like the idea of building it the way you want it and have the opportunity to build it the way you want it. It there a certain place you got certain items for the boat, like the outside top railing and the decorative inside bump railing.
Thanks. That’s awesome. I got most of my metal from pierce aluminum. They have a couple locations across the southeast.
Doing the good Lords work.
Appreciate it.
Nice work sir
Thank you!
The barking dog ruined the video
Great video 👍
Does the firebox really need to be that big? It just seems like it would create an unnecessarily large fire burning through more charcoal than whats actually needed? Yes I know airflow on alot of these is restricted but I dont believe a clean fire is created with a smothered fire.
What color of hydro turf was on the top of that cooler, it matches very well
Wondering what the build price was
Nice
Thanks for watching.
Nicely done video showing the construction! I have a Char Griller 980 Gravity Fed. And getting to the point of wanting a bigger smoker and something with heavier build quality. I am a professional Cad Drafter with a Tig welder in his garage. I need to get designing and build one.
Nice. Get after it and make it happen. You can make em better than you can buy em. Good luck with the project.
@@JackArmstrong-jackdaddycustoms I 100% agree with you on that statement!
Nice work on the cuda style hook, definitely need to make a few myself!
Appreciate it.
Amazing video! Did you scuff the base coat before doing the stencil paint work? Separately, I’m not sure how seriously to take the paint label warnings about having a one-hour window to work with (they say “within one hour or after 24 hours” for additional layers of paint). Did you abide by that, or in your experience should that not be taken too literally? Appreciate any guidance ◡̈
Thank you. I did not scuff the base. I did stay pretty close to the times on the labels. It doesn’t have to be exact but I would recommend staying close at least… humidity and temperature will affect it a good bit so I imagine those times are safe approximates. I let mine dry for around 24 before starting with the stencils.
Thanks so much!
Wao. Awesome project!
Appreciate it!
Can I get the files please? Idk how to private message my email. I’d rather not publicly post it.
Look me up on f b and message me there
Man, heck yeah. I am redoing a fiberglass boat in the front yard so I didn't get the 100 percent clean paint job. I am going to use the red leg stencils and cryptic stencils to hide some of the spots that aren't perfect . Thank you for this video, gives me a good idea of how to do it brotha..thanks.
Good luck with it!
Hey man ! Would really love the stencil svg if its still available ? Great video !!
be glad to. what is the e mail?
Jack also,what size PVC did you use?
3/4
Jack Question Instead of the wire mesh on the bottom of the cage. Could you have used the garden mesh also?
You certainly could but it may not it’s shape AS good. I used the wire to give it a little more rigidity to hold square.
Brilliant
thanks
Really nice look. Would love the stencil svg if still possible
joshuamwilliamson with the g to the mail
Be glad to. Might be tomorrow or Sunday though.
@@joshuamwilliamson you should have them.
Yes get it pre crimped
Would have been cooler if the kid welded it....
He welds pretty decent on steel. Hasn’t done much with aluminum yet. 😂
I keep turtles and lizards
