TIP! You can cut tires like hot butter with a Sawzall. Just take an old blade and grind all the teeth off and grind it into a knife edge. It will cut rubber like you won't believe.
I did this years ago but I was going through the steel belting and it didn't like that much. The knife sawzall would work slick though on just the sidewalls.
Ha! As I sit here with my sawzall blade \ knife contraption and diy leather holster...resharpened saw blade spine , knife grind face, holes and slots for a paracord handle.
Go to any large truck stop and look for rolls of rubber rope and adjustable hooks. Rope can be easily sourced in 3/8" or 1/2" and comes on 200' rolls (or by the foot)
www.uscargocontrol.com/Rubber-Rope-Solid-Core-3-8-x-150 3/8" solid core rubber tarp rope. 150 ft long. And 100 adjustable hooks. What we do is string the rope through the D-rings on the tarp and pull down to secure to the deck or rails while rolling up excess tarp underneath. The rope isn't terribly expensive and saves you some headache in cutting the tires apart/making hooks.
I was thinking you could make traction aids for snow or mud, with the left over tread part. Even drill some screws or studs into them for extra grip. Great idea on the bungee cords!
I said it like a year or 2 ago on a video you did, but I want to say it again. When SHTF I want you on my team lol. You honestly are one of my favorites. Genuine true tips and tricks that I never see anywhere. You're brilliant. MCGuiver has nothing on you.
You can use a hook from a carpet utility knife chucked up in an Oscillating tool. I used this to cut up a couple of tires instead of taking them to the dump. Won't cut the steel-belted parts, but very quick and no mess.
Funny how things sometimes "come together". I recently learned about "Mechanical concrete" and am considering trying it for the foundation of a garage/driveway. I was wondering what I would use all the leftover sidewalls for and *this* video answers my question! I wonder what a rope braided from sidewall rubber would be like...?
Thank you so much for this comment. This Mechanical Concrete idea may be the fix to my driveway that constantly needs maintenance! It will be a long project to collect 6,000 tires and afford enough rock to fill them though. LOL!
Growing up in Mexico we would NEVER see an old tire by the highway. When we stopped for gas and food we would see a lot of sandals with tire tread soles.
Sell the tread part of the tire to the dirty hippies to make sandals out of. Oh right, they probably expect to get it for free plus they want you to pay for the shipping.
Another outstanding video !! Talk about DoingItCheap !! That is an awesome idea !! BTW, I will be out west picking up a car I bought. I could swing by and haul that old driveway car lift that is in your way !!! LOL !!
Great video and ideas Moe, thank you! Use some silicone spray lube when cutting tires or other rubber, you will be amazed at how much easier the silicone makes it cut. I use old worn sawzall metal cutting blades to cut tires myself. I just sharpen them on both sides like you would a knife to where there is no "set" left in the blades, but you still have the teeth. A bit of spray silicone on the blade and it makes cutting tires a lot faster and easier. P.S. Thanks for putting your dog in the videos, I look forward to seeing her do tricks and playing in the yard.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I made a knife sawzall blade years ago and it did work well. I haven't tried silicone though. Ginger is always up for a game of fetch.
With the silicone to lubricate the blade and rubber, it sure makes it cut a lot easier. I'm definitely going to make some of those auto tire bungee cords. I'm sick of those wimpy little round colored ones for sure and I appreciate you sharing this idea. Ginger is very smart and a real sweetheart. I really like dogs like her, I've found them to be smarter than almost any other breed I've owned. I have a female pit bull I got for Christmas a couple of years ago now. She's a good dog and doesn't have a mean bone in her body (because I raised her properly), but she's just not as smart as the Red and Blue Heelers I've had. Have a great week!
@@TrojanHorse1959 I'm going to try cutting some 2" wide ones from a truck tire. They should be around 6ft unstretched usable length. The sidewalls are thicker so they are really going to be stiff.
WOW! You'll be able to strap down a load of logs with those! Can't wait to see how they turn out! It'll take two men, three boys, and a winch truck to stretch those bad boys out! LOL!
A Really good use for old tires,,I have used bicycle inner tubes and rope to make a bungee set up for holding a tarp down over a load of garbage in the pickup
I also use bungee cords to hold ladders and other things from moving or falling off of the truck or trailer. Seems like no matter where I buy the bungee cords, they all rot from the sunlight, I will have to make some of these and try them out. I will need to buy or make some of the "S" hooks for these. Thank you for another great video.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. They are the best I've ever used. I have a collection of trucker ones that I've found on the roadside over the years that hold up pretty good but any trucker ones I have personally bought all rot out pretty quickly. I guess they no longer make them out of rubber and instead use EPDM(synthetic rubber). Some of my oldest real rubber ones have to be 10-20years old.
@@sixtyfiveford I use to buy them from a custom tarp/net maker for covering trucks. They were about $100 buck a box of 50 and would last about a year depending where they were made. The good ones had instructions on the side and gave you the length and the stretch length so you wouldn't abuse them or over stretch them . You would loose them depending where you parked. They would steal them. I would keep them strapped on the truck fender for easy to grab use.
The tread of the tire, you rolled up, could be cut into pieces, and would make great roof shingles for like a dog house or something!! Probably lots of other uses somewhere!!! Nice job!!
otakop67, I believe tarp man told me max. recommended stretch is something like 1/3 or 1/2. Kinda forget right now, going to check out today. We buy good ones by box of 50 from tarp shop. Drivers tend to over stretch/abuse.
Howdy 65, great idea for home grown bungees. You could do a video about making a wire bender so you could make your own bungee hooks. Get the welder out. Thanks for sharing. Stay safe and keep up the good work. 👍🖖🐶🦴
this is an awesome use for old tires. i'm going out to my tire pile tomorrow and make a whole bucket full of bungees. i may even try the adjustable versio9n, because why not? i never had an adjustable bungee before.
Great tip! I have made some hooks & used some from broken bungees along with inner tubes to make bungee cords. But never thought of using the tire🤔. Making those S-hooks to use with them puts the "G" in great tip! Stay well Moe, Joe Z
I use bungee cords all the time to strap ladders and building materials to the roof racks on my work truck. I only use made in the USA brands, the Chinese made straps are garbage. Great idea Moe, makes me think about what I will do with the next set of old tires I swap out. Thanks man!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. They are the best I've ever used. I have a collection of trucker ones that I've found on the roadside over the years that hold up pretty good but any trucker ones I have personally bought all rot out pretty quickly(China). I guess they no longer make them out of natural rubber and instead use EPDM(synthetic rubber). Some of my oldest real rubber ones have to be 10-20years old.
Solid idea mate! I need some raised footings for three water tanks than use tires with the walls cut out (it's called mechanical concrete). I'm making stack of these straps with left over tire walls. I also use tires with one wall cut out as molasses feeders for cows. My favorite use is a tire with the beads cut out as a firewood splitting aid.
You clever clogs :-D I did wonder if the rod going through the rubber would wear through it, then i slapped myself for being stupid lol. Don't forget the safety glasses when you use them, i don't like the idea of you losing an eyeball :-( I was going to make a comment about you being all Tired out, but that would be childish :)
I was going to make a joke in the video about it being tireing... These hold a lot of force behind them, so I make sure I'm clear of their path when securing them.
That's awesome Moe. Your buckle is genius too. Now I know why I grabbed a semi truck tire off the side of the road 3 years ago and have it sitting around cause I didn't know what to do with it, but knew it would be good for something. I was thinking amazing boot treads at the time, lol. I've also got over 100 small truck and car tires around, because we were embargoing tires from China and the prices would go way up.
The stretch comparison at 5:50 isn't correct. You grabbed the green bungee at the marked line, but you grabbed the tire bungee much further away which allows more stretching.
Awesome build , I will be making a few of those , I had a truckers tie down get loose and it hit me square in the temple, it almost knocked me out and I had a spot that blocked my vision for about a week , thanks. Stay safe. TANK
those are not S-hooks, so much as double-D-ring hooks. An S hook looks just like S. the double D is used to make an adjustable-length strap. your vid is not quite clear on that. otherwise, nice work
Fasten the center tread to a child’s plastic 6/ 12v battery toy that has lost grip when riding. Examples: John Deere battery tractor, police cars, jeeps. 2-2-2021
Great idea! I want to make some. I also benefit from the comments...lots of good ideas. I wonder if a jigsaw with a modified blade would work well for cutting the strips a bit quicker and safer. Will give it a try. A bending jig would be ideal.
The car tires are not difficult to cut. I have made knife blades for reciprocating saws and they work but they flop the tire all around and make a mess.
Bicycle shops give away old bicycle tubes by the arm full and they are VERY stretchy rubber. I have used them cut into strips on some other tool making projects.
yes sir sometimes if don't have lot time hate leave comment. i miss the show. lol you're in that top ten of top five shoot easy top 3 yeah top three if not number one. the best learning diy channel there is no joke. poor people love this channel if their diy'ers. how could they knot. lol bungie knot adjustable i love it. keep on keeping on stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy. new user/handle trucker style ten four. now we're talkin some language.
I have a 5 HP Tecumseh Craftsman snowblower exactly like the one you cleaned the carburetor that needed half choke to run but instead of cleaning the carb I replaced it with an adjustable carb and now the engine surges and needs choke to keep it running. What did I do wrong?
Years ago I saw someone making flip-flops from the center section of the tire. I'm sure there is a youtube video for it. Hint: you'll want a liner glued to the top so you don't end up with black tire feet.
WOW !! Great idea..i used to make muffler hangers using the tread part..i used bolts and washers to connect the ends together ..the steel cord had to be cut on a band saw worked great..i had friends that wanted them on thier cars...i introduce them to the band saw and show them how to cut what i needed and they had to bring a tire..lol..you always show us gerad ideas . That's why i like watching you're videos...Cheers friend 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I think that is a minty idea it's 9:50 Pm and I gotta get up at 4 am and go to work but now cause of this great idea I'm going to my shop to build a few who needs sleep anyway lol
LOL!! I HAVE NOT HEARD THE WORD HIPPY FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS,DUNNO IF THATS GOOD OR BAD! I KNOW THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN OUT A MIN,BUT IT'S NEW TO ME. GREAT IDEAL TOO! THX!
Pretty good idea. and I like the adjustable design. I have cut a lot of old tires up in the past and used the banded treads as stair treads for winter. Great nonslip pads.
Amazing, so now I know how to use some of those old tires in a useful way. Not to mention the size of the remaining center strip rolled up will be very easy to fit in my recyclable barrel now! Thanks for doing the brainwork on this for us, too easy!
@@TOMAS-lh4er I never saw a tire on the side of the road in six years in Mexico. But I did see plenty of tire tread sandals when we stopped for gas and food
Good to see the puppers again. Your dog looks like a lot of fun. As for the left over tread you could cut out pieces to make flip flops that would never wear out.
@@sixtyfiveford You could even try using thinner strips of sidewalls as the straps. Just be sure to scrub it all down because I bet otherwise it will be dirty as heck.
I know a missionary that served in Bolivia for several years that would use inner tubes to make his bungee cords. He said they they worked better than the store bought ones in the states
I wonder if a pair of aircraft snips or some shears of other sorts would have any value or how about even a jigsaw blade that has a sort of a razor attachment to it I wonder if that would help slice it
The original Bungees are excellent for a limited number of applications. Unfortunately, I don`t think they are around anymore. I still have a handful of the originals and I use them as tensioning straps on my snow chains on the Cub Cadet tractor to plow my driveway. You have given me an idea or two though with this video. Thanks
Several years ago I was working in remote Honduras. And needed a pull cable to get out of a muddy hole. Out cable and chains has been stolen. But the town had a huge pile of old tires. We cut them like you did the did a 3 braids weave. We pulled large loaded bob trucks out by doubling them.up A single 3 strip braid pulled cars and pickups out ez. I’m wondering if you started a bit into the tread if the hole would be stronger ? Excellent idea for trap straps. Like the adjustable hook.
I say a score of 95.9 for Ginger landing inside the hoop. In the seventies the shop beside ours there's a trucker outfit there and they made their own rubber tie downs. He used that good old thicker rubber tubes from the 1970's. He sold quite a few of them. Those ones you made would be sure heavy duty thanks for sharing.
I made some out of innertubes and I will same modern rubber is horrible. I have tractor tubes that are 40 years old that haven't dried out a little vs a modern tube that dry rots and cracks within a few weeks of UV exposure. I agree they are far superior.
Now that's the kind of repurposing we need around here~!! Thanks for showing us this secret Freebee and I'm on my way to high grade a couple of old tires or new wore out ones better. Chalk up another Subscriber also~!

That's partially how I can up with this idea. I have wrapped them around the tire/through the rim on small tractors for makeshift snow chains.
I love how the S hook kills the need to drill a hole and make a weak spot! Fantastic invention, so simple and high quality.
At first I only had the S hooks on one end but the little hole made me nervous.
@@sixtyfiveford
They make me nervous on every bungie i use. All that force is tugging against one side of a tiny hole.

I learned SOMETHING! I had no idea the side walls was elastic. I thought the cords would prevent it from stretching. Thank you
Now those pictures pf herniated tires with ballooned sidewalls make sense lol
I had no idea that sidewalls WERE so elastic (Verb-subject agreement!)
The cords keep them stretching width wise in this scenario.
The more I watch this guy the more I regret throwing away anything. Another awesome video.

Me too, I was expecting the trucker one to snap while he was stretching it across the flatbed and hit him in the face.
They can pack a punch.
the secret to cut rubber is to have it wet. Use spray bottle of water or soggy wet rag and it will cut like butter
I'll have to try that.
You'd have to use some heat to bend, but garage door spring would work good for hooks.
That's the perfect diameter material.

An abrasive wheel on an angle grinder is the best way I've found. It puts up a fight, but not too bad.
The tread of the tire, you rolled up, could be cut into pieces, and would make great roof shingles for like a dog house or something!! Probably lots of other uses somewhere!!! Nice job!!

Years ago I saw someone making flip-flops from the center section of the tire. I'm sure there is a youtube video for it. Hint: you'll want a liner glued to the top so you don't end up with black tire feet.
WOW !! Great idea..i used to make muffler hangers using the tread part..i used bolts and washers to connect the ends together ..the steel cord had to be cut on a band saw worked great..i had friends that wanted them on thier cars...i introduce them to the band saw and show them how to cut what i needed and they had to bring a tire..lol..you always show us gerad ideas . That's why i like watching you're videos...Cheers friend 🍻🍻🍻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bandsaw! That's a great idea.
@@sixtyfiveford i didn't have a saw zaw at the time...lol.. the band saw worked better any way..
@@rodneybrand8521 , wouldn't the rubber melt when touching a muffler? Just curious...
@@TheRainHarvester no because the rubber didn't come in contact with the muffler..it's just a hanger,,
You are a genius! I'm so glad I found your channel. I look forward to watching all your content. Thank you so much.
Wow, thank you!
I think that is a minty idea it's 9:50 Pm and I gotta get up at 4 am and go to work but now cause of this great idea I'm going to my shop to build a few who needs sleep anyway lol
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
When I cut tires I use a jigsaw, (Bosch) better than a knife, or Sawzall. Less bounce, less strain
Outstanding, as always ! ! !
LOL!!
I HAVE NOT HEARD THE WORD HIPPY FOR AT LEAST FIVE YEARS,DUNNO IF THATS GOOD OR BAD!
I KNOW THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN OUT A MIN,BUT IT'S NEW TO ME.
GREAT IDEAL TOO!
THX!
Pretty good idea. and I like the adjustable design. I have cut a lot of old tires up in the past and used the banded treads as stair treads for winter. Great nonslip pads.
Interesting idea!
Don't throw away the rest, You can use that for garden bed edging, cut it up to make pads by stacking them. There are many uses.
Amazing, so now I know how to use some of those old tires in a useful way. Not to mention the size of the remaining center strip rolled up will be very easy to fit in my recyclable barrel now! Thanks for doing the brainwork on this for us, too easy!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks Bro 👍🏾. And i love the dog!! So smart!!
Make yourself some butcher block car ramps and screw some tread to the top and bottom. Also, wheel chocks.
I bet you could make some bushings, shims, and brake pedal covers etc from those tires.
Search TH-cam for one of those DIY tool guys that build home wire benders.
Used bicycle inner tubes work good too. I get them for free from my local bike shop.
I've had old tubes that I've made super rubber bands from.
You could make sandals out of the tread portion.... great idea on the bungees 🤠👍
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
THEY DO IN MEXICO !
@@TOMAS-lh4er I never saw a tire on the side of the road in six years in Mexico. But I did see plenty of tire tread sandals when we stopped for gas and food
@@uprightfossil6673 That's funny !!
No you can't. Steel threads make that project impossible. Try it sometime and post the video on YT.
Good to see the puppers again. Your dog looks like a lot of fun. As for the left over tread you could cut out pieces to make flip flops that would never wear out.
Super flip flops. I've seen some 3rd world country videos of this and may have to give it a try.
@@sixtyfiveford You could even try using thinner strips of sidewalls as the straps. Just be sure to scrub it all down because I bet otherwise it will be dirty as heck.
I know a missionary that served in Bolivia for several years that would use inner tubes to make his bungee cords. He said they they worked better than the store bought ones in the states
Got it further in video of....course... Thanks S-F-F...
I wonder if a pair of aircraft snips or some shears of other sorts would have any value or how about even a jigsaw blade that has a sort of a razor attachment to it I wonder if that would help slice it
That is just plain excellent...great idea and an awesome way to use old tyres
Hey Thanks Man.
the best idea for strapping things , i agree. Excellent thank you
What's that (metal) utility knife youve got? Looks like a solid tool, and lots of blade to use.
Most small political and construction signs have 1/4" steel in them.
Resole your boots with the tread section
That's a good idea.
It's all fun and games till someone takes a bungie cord to the lip ! LOL
I wonder if the remaining tire carcass would be useful as a traction aid in the winter.... Or on a trailer or boat ramp
Nice video, seen it done before, nice way to recycle something that has little use.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Is this guy's name Rube Goldberg?
That's an amazing idea. Only one problem...my wife is going to kill me for dragging home old tires.
She'll be so impressed she'll help you bring home tires.
Indeed, but not everyone has the luck of having a good wife like I and probably you do to deal with the mess and not freak out
Love all the creative solutions you come up with.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
thanks I have about 300 tires to make into a something useful.
That leftover tread is what we use for roof shingles. Cut them in 12" lengths and nail them up overlapping........50 year roof for free.
Heck Yeah.
Enjoyed your 'tire'less efforts and liked the en'tire' idea.
sweet! that’s awesome
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Smart idea! Send old tires to the dump or make better than new bungee cords for free!🤔👍🏼
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
That DiY bungee was trick as hell.. The cheapest price would be 12 .00.Not to mention disposal of tires is becoming a hugh problem. Thanks
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
The original Bungees are excellent for a limited number of applications. Unfortunately, I don`t think they are around anymore. I still have a handful of the originals and I use them as tensioning straps on my snow chains on the Cub Cadet tractor to plow my driveway. You have given me an idea or two though with this video. Thanks
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
Why didn't the "professionals" figuring out how to recycle tires come up with something like this? Excellent Idea!
Hey Thanks.
Several years ago I was working in remote Honduras. And needed a pull cable to get out of a muddy hole. Out cable and chains has been stolen. But the town had a huge pile of old tires. We cut them like you did the did a 3 braids weave. We pulled large loaded bob trucks out by doubling them.up A single 3 strip braid pulled cars and pickups out ez. I’m wondering if you started a bit into the tread if the hole would be stronger ? Excellent idea for trap straps. Like the adjustable hook.
Very neat story.
I say a score of 95.9 for Ginger landing inside the hoop. In the seventies the shop beside ours there's a trucker outfit there and they made their own rubber tie downs. He used that good old thicker rubber tubes from the 1970's. He sold quite a few of them. Those ones you made would be sure heavy duty thanks for sharing.
I made some out of innertubes and I will same modern rubber is horrible. I have tractor tubes that are 40 years old that haven't dried out a little vs a modern tube that dry rots and cracks within a few weeks of UV exposure. I agree they are far superior.
Awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it.
You are a genius!!
I'm glad you liked it. I think they'll come in handy. I'm going to make some bigger/wider ones and see how they hold up.
Now that's the kind of repurposing we need around here~!! Thanks for showing us this secret Freebee and I'm on my way to high grade a couple of old tires or new wore out ones better. Chalk up another Subscriber also~!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. -Moe
A..W..E..S..O..M..E..!!!!!!!! And...I LOVE(!) your short, succinct, no bullshit, no music, to the point attitude!!!!
I build retaining walls with tires, does that make me a hippie???? Cut the sidewalls out just like you show, want to try the sawzall thing.....
Yes :-) . We all have a little hippie in us.
