- This project was sooo much fun! I think i will come back to this concept and rebuild it with a couple changes. it is actually a bit too fast, i´d like to change that and also i would love to build a version in stainless steel so i don`t have to worry about rust.
so stay tuned for the update :)

Laura, your ingenuity, determination, and enthusiasm are infectious! You helped this middle-aged man fuel his own love of DIY! With an attitude and brains like yours, truly anything is possible!
I can appreciate your determination to salvage the boat. I tried to salvage a car once, but the police said I can't just pick a car I like from the Walmart parking lot.
YouStupidBunny That’s some funny stuff!! Instant laughter! What were the police thinking? It was for a project right?
@@graysinclair6572 you dont get the sarcasm do you? Lol.
Akbar Sutaredja Oh indeed. YOU missed the sarcasm. C'mon dude, seriously?
If I told a knock-knock joke, which one of you would answer the door?

This isn't only a DIY channel, but a video 101 class. Great production!
I can’t even begin to describe how impressive that was.
Laura, this was the best video I've seen in a long time! Such creativity and mechanical know how....absolutely loved it!!!
thanks man!
@@laurakampf i wish from deep my heart if i can marrid love this thinks becouse i'm the same like you laura ...you are so great and smart 🙏🙏how i can contact you please????.
Hi
great video and creativeness! To me this is what You Tube is all about
Right On !!
Everything about this is amazing. I smiled so big seeing the boat take off!
I did too! 8^∆
thanks man! it was so much fun!
Agree
Laura really impressive build. How long has it run for? I am an oring designer and was curious if you got water in the right angle drill housing?
hey. there was a little water in the gearbox but since it is sweetwater i am not too worried about rust...also all thr grease will keep the metal save i thing. we drove around in the boat for probably 20-30 minutes alltogether and the batterie didn´t die during that time. i am not sure how long it would last...
I've just recently purchased a cheap as chips pram dinghy and looking at outboard comparisons. You have now inspired me to make my own! :)
Maybe the most creative and artistic video I have ever seen.
I've actually been looking for a cheap DIY solution for a short range outboard motor for an old aluminum dingy I have. That shaft to propeller design out of an angle grinder was brilliant! Good build!
I bet she could do this w/o having a fully operational machine and woodworking shop, but it'd take an extra day or two
@@bluesriot2 also, cordless drill = 200 bucks, cheap electric outboard = 100 bucks... (u could even buy the battery have no work and get a lot farther...
Ok, it was impressive.
Honestly, I thought it would be slow, but it looks like it can flow very fast!
I love such projects.
Greetings neighbor :)
it's really slow 😑
Compared to.... all other drill powered boats you have seen? XD
Yeah, I bet the 8 minute battery life is inspiring................
OMG exactly!
You are my dream woman.. How awesome
This boat is called “optimist” and it’s a sailing boat for kids to learn how to sail . It’s a very popular type of boat with its own racing class.
Very nice video btw!
In my part of the States they are called Jon/Ouachitas boats. Used by the poors to go fishing or just dink around in.
Yessir I'm racing one at a reggata this weekend
Yep. Cool little sailing pram.
@@timesthree5757 "the poors" lol! i just realized my entire side of the country is broke fishermen!
@@nathanbutler295 Well, at least you can eat.
Very cool story and inspiring, too as I am about to refinish my first ever fishing boat. Thank You and enjoy your boat!
If you put the dagger board in you'll have greater control. That's what the slot is in the middle. It's actually a sailing dinghy! Cool video Laura! :)
ScottieBruiser
I wouldn't do that. That will add a huge amount of drag. Dagger boards are not intended to provide greater control, but to provide lateral resistance against the wind.
Adam Perkins not true. Anyone who sails a trailerable boat knows that you put the keel down a little to get better tracking under power.
Paul Heitkemper I thought it would make it go straight instead of turning being converted to like scooting sideways, carving wter more than sliding squint, under sail or.motor.
The point of contention her may be the phrase "down a little bit". You may be right about a (very) small skeg-type fin helping tracking. I myself wouldn't bother to try. The drill works far better than I might have expected, but I'd be very wary of adding additional wetted area. Drag is Drag.
Adam Perkins yes, drag is drag, but it's obvious you've never tried to motor a sailboat. With no keel to aid in tracking that thing will skate all over the surface. It is very tiring to control, especially given her poor tiller and throttle design.
Sehr schön gemacht. Love the Remake of the boat. Set of paddles would be a good idea if the batteries run out
SUCH A GREAT IDEA! May I suggest fitting stronger mounts on the boat as the existing ones will work for a while but are likely to fail due to fatigue being pulled and pushed repeatedly. Congratulations on a brilliant outboard motor!
Yes the mounts are called pintles and gudgeons. I usually got a little overkill on my boats for safety 👍
The boat is an „optimist“ class - a sailing boat for kids 😉. Great video!
Jens Höpken yes it is
Excuse me what kind of boat is it???
Toolman they stated it was an Opti; however, it is actually a pram (very similar and easy to make the error). They are beginner sailboats for kids. They really max out at 115lbs.
I have one designed to learn to sail for kids 14 and under
@@CorbinAce It's a small sailing boat basically
00:22 I got a sinking feeling... Other than that this video really floats my boat! Good work Laura! Cheers, Chris 👍
Lots of great problem solving to make this work! Fantastic!
And you know I'm a fan of an electric boat ;-)
I’ll give you the super fast. I know how these drill motors usually go, but you used that gear housing and Bam! Super fast! You rock🤘😎
Thanks for the glimpse at your joyful view of life. This video has everything... great production values, an amazing display of imagination, determination, skills and understanding, all shared with friends and your TH-cam community. I am in awe!
Top Tip: Always carry a paddle :)
And wear a life jacket.
And a whistle or a big door. no? oh sorry hahah :)
... and extra batteries.
.... and VHF radio and radar set.
and my axe!
That was pretty cool you are quite the engineer 👍👍
Excellent work. I had an idea a while ago to use also grinder parts, but never tried it. Thanks for showing that it actually works!!
Hands down the most impressive show of ingenuity I ever remember seeing.
Fantastic editing! Love the whole vibe, so fun!
The world needs more free thinking outside the box imaginative people like you. Awesome project
You probably didn't want to say it but I will....Women like you!!!! Amazing!!
With today's youth? Good luck
True... this chick is awesome
Very exciting and inspiring! Just the video I needed. Im building a shanty boat to travel the Arkansas River this summer and your reclaimed vessel of ingenuity helps me keep that imaginative spark. Thanks!
This video really brightened my day. Well done for rescuing the little boat. Electric outboard was so creative.
I have been wanting to design a bow thruster for my mum's narrow boat and you have given me so many ideas, especially using the old drill.
Thank you.
I LOVE IT!! This is the kind of creativity that really makes my propeller turn. You're so Awesome!
That almost sounds like a pick-up line 😂
You reminded me of my mom working in the shop when I was a kid. Thanks 😊
truly first rate. it takes a special person not to point out problems but see the solution . It takes another level to execute the solution and make it work. how wonderful to see your accomplishment. i enjoyed your vid
That electric drill outboard is genius. You are quite the wizard.
The vibe of this video is so fun and relaxed, really fits the summer/boat/beach! The music is great, and I feel like the bigger shop is allowing you to play with your shots even more. That opening shot is so cool! One of my new favorite videos of yours, reminds me of the happy machine :)
Yes. Everything Ellen already said.
I could just say that again! :D well put Ellen! So cool!
Crafts With Ellen your epic
Crafts With Ellen what a great take hold Adventure. Very inspiring. Do more!
Those people, they live... a great life, just having fun and trying.. beautiful video
That is amazing!! Quite an inspiration! Can't wait to make my own diy drill rig!
Your editing style was great!
Along with your creativeness to save an old boat, and saving old broken tools!
I'd like to do something like this for my kayak.
Great fun video. It's satisfying making something out of what you have lying around.
I lost at the guy who brought his 10 ton wheel loader. The hull looks like an optimist sailing trainer.
Yip, that's exactly what it is, but reasonably recent one as it's all one piece. The pods in the front should be filled with a flotation aid as they are meant to be unsinkable. I've sailed one totally full of water.
Fantastic little boats and a great way to learn to sail.
Moppie I work at a non-profit community sailing center and the kids there turn them into bathtubs about once a day. They’re practically indestructible (and we still find a way...). I’m thinking this one could have had a failed float bag or, perhaps it was so full of water they had to abandon it. I missed the opportunity to sail them and am now onto 420’s and the J/22 keelboats
10 ton? Lmao maybe about 25 ton
at the least...
That’s a great big thumbs up for me. Very clever to use a grinder for an outboard gearbox. Great job.👍👍👍
Unbelievable!! Never met a woman who was a fabricator. Great Job!!
I'm now a subscriber
Here from Simone Giertz's channel. A+ job on this! I love it!
@Hello Karstan Lovorn, How are you doing?
it's actually a sailing boat for beginners and it's called Optimist
Used to sail them as a kid, great fun. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimist_(dinghy)
We call them Sabots in Canada, and it's likely the first thing anyone sails that isn't a board.
came here to say this.
Me too !!! LOL!
To me it's close to an optimist but different. Could just be a different version though, I sailed them in the late 80s and instructed kids in them into the 90s. I think most of ours were produced by Vanguard.
Great project! I just subscribed to your channel a few days ago and now I found this video as first result for my search on youtube for "homemade boat motor". Great video, I learned what I wanted to know.
Yes! An old friend was a Master Machinist, and he taught me that when you're drilling into round stock, you should make a flat space with a mill file, so the bit doesn't skitter off.
My son’s comment on this one, “Daddy, we need to find a boat!” 😂😂😂 Thank you for being an inspiration to even the littlest of makers! : )
definitely look up "Hannu's Boatyard" website, it's really not difficult to build something really great (and new!) on a budget.
That boat looks almost exactly like an Optimist Pram - I think the International Optimist association has plans or you can find them online. A great sailboat to learn on!!!
Look aroumd Florida and take your pick.
Building boats is my favourite thing because it doesn't take a huge shop to work on them you just gotta know how to be handy and boats just seem to work just fine, it's how I got into motors and srufd
@@tommynorthwood I was just coming to make a similar comment. I agree on Florida but add Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana lakes too. Guess basically most lakes in the south? They'll likely be further down than this one though.
That is so cool all round :) My petrol mixing drill would give you super speed :)
Great video (second time I've watched it) - great filming and the way you put the messages into the pieces are an awesome touch - best "found boat in a lake and converted to drill power" video on youtube by far! :) (the sorta stand-by-me music was mercifully mutable ;)
This is perfect. Laura, I love your ideas! 💜
My first time watching one of your videos, Laura. Absolutely brilliant! It's also a reminder of how Germany's promotion of vocational technical education is so far ahead of what we do in the U.S.. You're great example for young women who are interested in STEM and vo-tech.
Think I’m in love😘love the way your mind works, great video 👍👍
This is one of the best invention I have seen that will work for a lot of the people who can't afford the real machine
Wow super nicely made. Genuinely had fun watching this!! Well done!!!
Perfect thanks lot Well done sister. i love boats
Wow. Good job
Great ingenuity! Cuts a pretty darn good wake too!
Camping all week and today was one of those rainy stuck in the tent days.....this video was awesome. Interesting, entertaining and a little funny too....Thanks again
1 minute in, and I love this video already. love that you saved that wreck and gave her a new life.
In English all boats are referred to as female for some reason
ALright this is badass, props to this girl!
Get it props
Pun intended?
napalm6969 haha no actually so that’s funny
Trust me, I am very hard to impress...You, yes you young lady, absolutely hit it clear out of the park and having to watch this video several times to sort of calm down for a lack of a better word. I am most proud of you. (Amazing).
How do you not have 50 million subs? Great video. Keep it up.
Laura, einfach nur ein super geiles Projekt!! super nice!
Well done. Talented !!
Awesome! I shared this with my son who graduated from M.I.T. with a degree in mechanical engineering. I am sure he will enjoy as much as I did. Plus he is more capable and I am all thumbs.
Thank you. This is the greatest thing I have seen in months.
I love all the decals along the way of the project
Girl of my dreams
good name for the boat "so far so good"
Just when I think this day couldn't get any better. Not only did I get the best night sleep ever. And got some work done on my commercial fishing boat. I found this video what a great video it brought a smile to my face. I would love to pick your brain about editing videos. You're a great engineer
It took only 2:15 Minutes to know about this channel and I have to literally subscribe this channel. Respect for your technical knowledge.
I have to say, when you were on the junk yard for the parts, I thought you wanted to build a fan because of the temperature here in Germany :D
But very nice how the boat came out!
I'm a machinist of 33 years and that was impressive . Woman of my dreams but I'm happily married so there that goes LOL . Very great job on the creativity …..
@Hello Timothy McCune, How are you doing?

chat there, if you don't mind, you can email me this (lydiaanderson6060@gmail.com) I'm waiting to hear from you now dear.
Excellent idea and use of not only what you had laying around, but also of something you were able to salvage which was considered as nothing more than junk to the previous owwner.
I have a cordless drill which I rarely use, only because when I need it I have to wait while the battery charges, so end up grabbing the extension cord and one of my standard/cord powered drills.
Since it's just sitting on a shelf in the shop I figure it might be put to better use than being a paper weight so plan on putting it to use on one of my kayaks since I have a destroyed rotor in my right arm and now have problems paddling.
Thank you for an innovative design and for sharing.
By luck I came across your channel, my new super hero! I'm a big fan of "make your own please your own" great job! 👍 👍
Amazing!..Ive been shadetree mechanicing my whole life using odds and ends as poor boy in Georgia. I tip my hat to the first lady Ive seen get grease under her nails. Obvious skills too..when anyone takes time to use a center punch before drilling
Welllll...not exactly its purpose, but in this arena...yep. Working at Boeing and Lockheed, nope.
Wow what great ingenuity Laura!
I learned about you via the ODB with A. Savage and I wanted to see you in your own shop with your own problem solving and execution. Was not disappointed! Subscribed and looking forward to more great content.
Wow! Really cool. Mechanically skilled with a creative mind.
Great Job!... Izzy will be proud... :-)
genuinely made my day seeing your optimistic creativity and amazing video editing skills - top work keep it up :) - its not always about going and buying everything for a project - this is a true form of sustainable recycling with a positive outcome and great learning curve. 1.5k dislikes can go dislike some other shit because haters gonna hate regardless of what it is.
im not sure if you meant the pun, but the boat is called and optimist, so optimistic creativity lol
Looking for a Minn Kota for my little sailboat and ended up here, I'm so glad I did!! Just subscribed and looking forward to watching your videos for like minded inspiration. Excellent from so many perspectives!
The lever on the top of the drill was genius! Well done. Subscribed!
Cool chick, cool video.
Shame so many people missed the point.
Sure she could of bought an electric motor, but where's the fun in that.
Getting on the tools & working things out. That's what's fun.
Talent!
Ms. McGuyver
Now I understand why you get Neanderthals like Trump as president...
I don't understand why political bull crap needs to be involved in every aspect of people's daily lives. Nice things like this can exist without the complacency, from either side.
Makes a lot more sense than those vids here that show an angle grinder being used for a job that it isn't able to handle.
U r very talented! Good job.
You have ALL the most expensive quality tools and more. And here you are working days to salvage a dinghy and improvise a motor out of an old drill just to save on buying a cheap new. ;-) Appreciate your demo a lot, learned a few things...
Your engineering your own motor 10 outa 10. Your amazing!
It was a great effort with great results .Therefore well done. As far as the " nay sayers "...It wouldn't be the internet without them.
awesome job on the drill powered boat Laura.Your a true genius and very creative with what you do.Keep up the awesome channel that you have ❤️
Wuau, I am totally hooked up, can't wait for the weather to get warmer I will definitely built that outboard motor, Thanks so much for the idea....
Laura,
Die Geschichte, deine Ideen und dein Video ist von vorne bis hinten absolut top!
Hat mir sehr viel Spaß gemacht.
Vielen Dank
It's an optimist, a sailboat for small children. Most optimists have a double hull acting as an air chamber to prevent the boat from sinking. If yours has that you might want to drain the air chamber because it's full of water making it super heavy.
I used to sail these until I grew out of them. They're fun little boats but they have a severe 'flaw' - if you go too fast and angle the sail too much, it will simply plow down the bow and flood in a matter of seconds. They also flip very easily in gusts but as previously, stated they are completely sink-free (if not abandoned at a lake) and it's only a matter of up-righting it with your body weight, bail and move on!
I still sail my and I sailed it tonight
Not a double hull but 3 flotation bags (in the class rules at least)
Try an model aircraft prob. Not too castor it will chatter
They have only a 1 layer Hull. They sink easily.
Awesome video! You are the best female version of MacGyver ever!
The world needs recycler and skilled people like you.
It's quite incredible how powerful modern cordless drills are. The gearboxes aren't strong though, and the motors can't handle heavy sustained loads. But certainly an impressive feat for such a compact tool with just a standard battery. I was shocked how quick it was.
Im guessing your a machinist or mechanical engineer by trade. Very creative, and very functional. I love it!
You're*
Awesome idea. I love how you made use of the transmission of the gearbox of the angle grinder to have the boat go even faster!
Lemtil you tried ;)
Look at 3:23 where she's mounting the prop. Right where the motor was on the angle grinder, which means at the small gear.
A gearbox actually reduces rpms (the speed of the motor-revolutions per minute), but it increases torque.
gearboxes can also increase output rpms/reduce torque as it is doing in this case.
In the case of an angle grinder gearbox , the rpm are reduced significantly. 3-4:1. Correct me if I am wrong, but that means that the motor produces something like 30000 rpm and the final speed is something like 10-12000 rpm.
Could be wrong of course...
You are incredibly handy, well done. I respect your ability to MAKE STUFF!
Geniale Idee, das Getriebe vom Winkelschleifer zu verwenden. 👍🏻
Brilliant ! Been looking for a new engine for my boat and
I have a hand mixer I never use, that should work as well ;-)
Just a 400 watt power inverter and a deep cycle battery, and you'd be underway!😉
This is so A W E S O M E ! ! !
Laura, i have seen you in winter videos and summer videos.
I have to say that summer and the sun really suit you!
You really shine in sunny weather!
Great build. Looks like it performs better than many of the small electric boat motors available.
Nah, you'll drain the drill battery in a couple of minutes, overheat it if you use it continuously and probable wear it down to breakage in just a few tens of hours. None of that will happen with electric boat motors. Fun project, but a small minn kota motor would be way better and wont cost you more than an expensive battery drill.
Kind of person you want with you when you break down in the middle of no where.
Why? Can she do something you can't?
The spatial reasoning ability of this gal is intense.
