DIY - Portable Sink
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 13 ก.ย. 2020
- Everything is packed, and I mean everything. Clothing for 7 different types of weather. Food from all over the world. A lamp. Your gold fish from 5th grade. Dobby's sock. Arts and craft supplies. When you travel, you bring everything. Everything but, as some jerk will surely point out, the kitchen sink.
The one thing you cant take with you, the bane of your existence. The sink, laughing at you, an your inability to pack it. Well no longer! Now you really can pack everything and the kitchen sink!
Introducing the Portable PVC Sink... or more accurately, a portable PVC frame, for a collapsible drying rack that when constructed, and combined with with water-cooler jugs and electric water pumps, makes, for all intent and purposes, a sink.
Another thing that would be fun to try, exchange the push buttons faucet handles, to make it look even more like a sink. Perhaps use like a "momentary rotary switch" (potentiometer maybe) or just make some kind of mechanism that takes the twist of the knob/handle and presses a hidden momentary switch.

Water Pump: www.amazon.com/dp/B087QFGYSM $9.99
Waterproof Momentary Push Button: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07... (Use a momentary switch, press and the pump turns on and stays on, press again and it turns off. If you use a latching switch (on/off) you will have to push the button on, pump turns on and stays on, push the button off, pump stays on. Push button on again, pump turns off.)
JST connectors (red wire connector plug things): JST connectors: www.amazon.com/dp/B071XN7C43
Pop Up Dish Tray And Tub:
www.bcf.com.au/p/companion-po... ($54.99)
www.companionoutdoor.com/popu... ($57.99)
(This is the exact style's that I had, My Mother-in-law found it at Aldi's for much cheaper than listed here.)
Collapsible Tub: www.amazon.com/dp/B07L915Q6F/ $14.60 (You can get basically the same thing on amazon for $15 just without the groves on the bottom - which might be better for this purposes, and no drain, so you would have to drill it out.)
Collapsible Kitchen Draining Basket: www.amazon.com/dp/B08SHSKCWT
Collapsible Water Container: www.amazon.com/dp/B087F82544 (with something like this you would probably have to do a bit of retrofitting to get the pump to fit on, or perhaps just attach the pump to the frame of the sink and run a longer tube, etc.)

If you left a comment and don't see it, I think TH-cam automatically removed it because it had a link in it. (I don't remove comments unless they are spam.) Thankfully TH-cam forwards all comments to email, so I still got to read it. :)
for those who are not handy, selling instructions on how to build in pdf format would be a great addition to this build. and if you build these or if others want to build these complete for sale that would also be a nice addition.
One suggestion: If you were in a situation where you did not want to drain on the ground, you could situate the drain over one empty 5 gallon jug and dispose the waste water later. Great idea and great video!
Or run a hose to a nearby tree...
Most places these day do not allow you to deposit gray water (or worse) on the ground.
@@ccscomments757 not to mention you definitely do not wanna drain it on the ground in crown land or parks where there are bears and other predator wild life because it will bring them right to your sight
All the folks doing van conversions should see this. Great ideas here. Recommend that biodegradable soap be used.
doing a small suv build and i love this lol im gonna double the collapsible sink tho n do the drain and a grey water tank n fresh
thats what i was thinking might do this for my build
Dude the production of this is hilarious. Thanks for making it extra amusing, instead of just a sterile overview of components.
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Something that is truly amazing to me, is the fact that obviously your tutorial works. You explain things so clearly, but I always worry that people don't have "a Nick" to help them with the actual product. I'm glad you're also available to answer questions when they arise. :) Good job hubby!
Dude, this video is loaded with nuggets of brilliance! Thanks 🤟
.55 in and you made my morning. 🤗 Super helpful for heart and function. This will be a great seasonal portable addition to our dog yard/ garden entry. Thanks 👍
I will saw, as one of the people in the background of that camp, it worked super well and was really handy all weekend.
Thanks for always bringing your awesome new gadgets to camp!
Dude, this is probably one of the most awesome camp diy I've seen. Gave me lots of ideas for a sink for my overland build. Thanks for sharing, you can definitely sell this. Subscribed!
When you first dumped out the bag of PVC, I was like "oh heeeeeell no" but after you had everything together, you changed my mind. You seem like that guy at camp that makes it nice to be at camp. I am going to subscribe to your channel. I camper with a group about ten years ago and was "that guy" and built everything out of 5 gallon buckets, my most useful invention...the bucket fan, a ceiling fan torn apart and rebuilt in a bucket with qt bucket lids as blades.... I haven't camped with that group in several years,but was told they still use it. Kudos on the artistic mind
Thanks! Yeah, it goes together pretty quickly, especially if you take the time to label/color code everything. Yup, being "that guy" is what makes if fun for me, they call me 'Nicgyver' at camp ;)
LOL
I'm *"That Guy"* too!
@@IamNickDClements You are a Genius don't let anyone tell ya diffrent.
@@buck_shot4197 Ha, thanks! :)
I was brought here because I was looking for glamping ideas, and this one takes the cake! What a neat way to keep hands clean and mouths watered while camping!
Very clever. I appreciate the mod on the portable water pump. I bought a few for my cabin tiny house build, and my camper reno. I did not consider modifying it to a push button connected directly for a sink. Thank you for that ingenuity. I like the added towel rack for the paper towels and cloths. Well done.
All this and you're hilarious too. Thanks for sharing.
Should really reach out to companies and get ideas like this out there. This was really useful. Thanks.
Really clever what you did with the electric pump/tap. That would work well in the micro-camper I'm building. Thanks for posting this
A work of art!!! Really unique, kids will want to wash their hands just as they can push the buttons. Thanks for sharing 👍.
Very clever yet simplistic in design. Poor genius! Thank you!🙂
Just like what I am expecting. Thank you for the brilliance idea..
Great Idea, Great video....thank you thank you!!
I am converting my Honda mini-van, I prefer big jugs also (grin)
Thanks again for the kitchen ideas.
The exact type of setup I've been trying to find to DIY. Thank you for sharing ☺️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣You are precious, Nick. Thank you so much for sharing this instructive video. Very helpful.
This is what I needed to complete my project. Thank you!
Excellent design and build. Very well done. I am sure a lot of folks will be using this.
The "I personally like these big jugs" Comment with the zoom in on your face is what sealed the deal for the like LMAO!
lol, yup only top tier, high brow comedy on this channel! ;)
Amazing build! It’s perfect for the home made kitchen I’ll build! Thank you so much for this
That's perfect for my needs - I'm a painter, and sometimes at jobs it's there's no way to clean my brushes after use. This solves that issue, thanks, and I'm subscribing to your channel!!
That's awesome!
I'm sure you've already thought of this, but please make sure you have a seperate jug to use as "grey water" so that none of the paint you're rinsing off your hands, or equipment is going into the ground. It needs to go through a sewer system to properly treat it.
@@MelindaKDurham You're right, lol, I appreciate your concern and I have thought of that. I am a professional painter, both in the trade and artistically, and have been properly trained to dispose of paint waste material, which does not include simply dumping down the nearest drain or on the ground. I take all aspects of my work seriously, both because I love what I do, and I try to elevate the status of painters from the low opinion people have for the trade and those who perform it.
Great info! The tiny ditch is GENIUS (as well as eveything else here)!
Thank you for sharing honey! xoxo
*_Very_* cool!!!
I would keep it near a source of light (next to the car or tent) and possibly heat so it doesn't freeze. Also, I would wrap it - at the least with bungies so that if the sink gets full, the weight doesn't spread the slip joints apart and crash the sink. Bungies - if they're tight enuf (like the black rubber kind) - can act as a curtain rod too. And it can keep your paper towels from flyin' away if you keep it tight against the roll. I would also keep some pebbles or rocks in the hole in the ground to prevent pets from drinking the soapy water out of the puddle.
I used to have a similar washing station in my back yard by the faucet and hose and it was all rigged up similar to this. I used it several times a day. Since I moved to an apartment complex, I find myself cussing alot because I can't wash off the dirt from my potting tools and other things that are too big and awkward and filthy to put in my kitchen sink. These come in more handy than most folks realize!
This is awesome. Good work and thanks for sharing, I definitely like what you did by adding the switches to the water pump. I gotta try this myself.
Oh my gosh Nick! Genius design and I love it! I had just been thinking about a similar design and products. Thought well let's go to TH-cam and see what others might have done. So thankful to have ran across this video. Thanks so much for the help in clarifying the design I had(which is about similar)and for making this video! You're awesome!
This is incredible! Rv'ers and campers are the most inventive and creative group that exists. I will build this, but (as always with me) I'll make a few modifications for my needs. I don't know or do anything with fancy electronics so I can't build your wonderful buttons- I have something else in mind. Thank you for a great video.
Thank you, and you're welcome, happy to have inspired you :)
Loooooved watching the knowledge flow creatively.
I love this. I would love to do it in my van build. Great.
We did this in the 60’s in So Cal when you could still camp on the beach. We used a plastic dish pan from woolworths as the sink. We also had a shower of sorts. I miss the old days.
Great intro! It made me stay for the actual info. Thanks for sharing! Great comments have multiple 👍.
That's a really nifty piece of equipment. I like that. Small chance I ever need to built one myself but I really like the simplicity and ingenuity of this.
Thanks!
Excellent video 😊 Cool idea, but also fun to watch! Thanks for sharing!
Love your skit at the beginning. Great video!!!!
Absolutely ingenious. Love the light-weight concept of pvc, but that would be beautiful in copper piping! Just solder a few of the elbows to strategic pipes, and it would go together just as quickly with fewer parts to pack. This is still excellent. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! Yeah, copper pipe would be pretty cool.
Love it! Thank you for teaching me so much.
this is perfect for covid season and camping on unserviced sites. brilliant ideas.
Omg. I'm DEAD. 😂😂😂😂 I LOVE the whistling and the music , then thr neighbor "everything but the kitchen sink" , then everything turns blue and gloomy 😂😂😂😂 then "HI, I'm Nicky Clemens and THIS , is a sink. Some assembly required" .. inspirational motivational music in the background 😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤ ~ man, this is great. This is gold.
I'm very glad you enjoyed it :)
awesome video! I like the portable pump modification. You're a legend, Dude.
Just AMAZING!!! THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT GORGEOUS IDEA!!
You're welcome! :)
Great video! Awesome job with the sink! PVC is a great choice and your ideas on how to run the drain are genius!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it :)
Excellent invention! Great ideas! Helpful & practical advices! TU.
Very well done! The black nail polish 💅🏻 lmao 😂. Thanks for sharing.
One of the best DIY videos I've watched. This was fantastic. I've been wanting a sink in my shop and also when we go camping. Going to make this!
Excellent video. I think this unit also has many hidden uses. For example..it would be quite effective as a teenager repellent device.
love this. I have a pvc frame for my outdoor shower and color coded the legs also. I have my outdoor shower, emergency toilet and pressure washing machine and everything I need to go with them in a 50 gallon tote which is my shower bottom or tub, whichever. Now I can make me a sink to go with it. lol
That's awesome!
Myself , I think it's awesome and very ingenious..Good Job..Thanks for your video
I like your painted nails. 😊
Awe, thanks :)
Love it. Great job 👍🏼
Great DIY. Tent elastic inside pvc to make set-up even easier!
7:12 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Metallicy followed up by Michael had me laughing so hard.
Great content. Useful tips.
Really liked the idea.
Very cool and innovative. Maybe you can add a shower system to it as well. It swivels the other direction. Thanks for sharing!
This is epic! great video. Thanks for the fantastic ideas!
Me watching while painting my nails black 🤗 I love ur nails
Thank you!
Brilliant! I'm so implementing this system
Very clever, Nick! I sent the link to my husband as a subtle hint...I think you could jigger up
a plastic bottle to hold the paper towel and dispense it through a slit in the underside.
Wow. You’re on to something! That’s pretty awesome!
This is great for my vanlife
Wow amazing, thank you so much for sharing this, I really need to make this sink. I hope I can do it.
Thanks for sharing this.
Excellent buddy. 👍👍👍
This is really awesome!! This will hopefully help me with my portable hair bowl sink 😅
AWESOME🚰 I will totally be copying your sink for my tiny home in my backyard. Hope you don't mind! Thanks for the awesome video....
Absolutely! Copy away :)
This would be great for a small workshop that has no sink or plumbing.
Awesome Idea!
Rock on Frenchman.
The rinsearoo also helpful to wash shower walls when you just have a shower head!
LOL, the shower shot
Great video! Cool camping sink idea. We do a lot of boondocking so not the best fit but cool ideas and excellent video
Ingeniously designed
Cool. I may have to whip one of these up for my next camping trip 😊
The next time I see this sink I expect there will be an attached shower system.
Thank you so much for this! Might try this type of water pump for an outdoor shower setup. Oh, and you are funny too.
You are most welcome :)
You are simply genius!
Ha, thank you :)
You have a new follower from CHILE! South America
Ur hilarious bro 😂 I lmao at ur jokes and funny gestures… ur tips are second to none as well.. Ty and keep the videos coming
Brilliant ideas, beautifully filmed and explained, and funny, too. Best DIY video I've ever seen!! Love it!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :)
😮what a freaking genius !!!
Great ideas & build 😃
Totally cool idea
Love it! Thanks!
Dude, you're a god damn genius. People like you make the world easier. I bet you liked erector sets as a kid. Hell I bet you could easily access clean water straight out of a lake with a live action pump with a screen on the hose and a few filters connected. This gives me ideas, thanks.
Nice work!
Subbed and plan to binge your channel. This is so fantastic and you humor is perfectly timed. Exactly the sink idea I was searching for. Thanks !
Nick, your a genius!! I'm going to look for the pumps today online and make this. Have a awesome day :-)
That's awesome! Best of luck with your build. :)
cool idea you made me think of sumthing i can do myself cost effective.... thanks
Prity cool. I'll be making simular for my out door kitchen.
Love this!
Excellent!
Love It! Thanks.
Great video, thank you!
Really nice!!!
This is brilliant.

Paz 🙏👊
Good job! Love it 🤩
