modelo beer bottle is the best thing for forming the taper on the rod holders. using your same technique for heating then push it down to where the neck steps up. you get rod holders that are exactly the same every time.
Very nice, only thing I would do differently is I would crimp the hooks on top so they couldn't pop off. At least on one side so they wouldn't go shooting off into the water.
I would have to say I agree with you. In fact, I created a V2 and completely removed the hooks for a cleaner look. th-cam.com/video/6VTC5jJ_Qyc/w-d-xo.html
Solid design, please update as you use it and make changes. I’ve just started build crates, but not making videos😉 Suggestions: Lose the wood and use the top sections of the crate you cut (for lid), lighter, waterproof, color matches, and makes fuller use of second crate. You could even double up side pieces if you wanted more thickness. Test fit bungees BEFORE you cut and see if splitting them would work, could make them go twice as far. Same jigsaw would have cut pipe, as would the chop saw. Rounded bottom of cut could be made with hole saw in drill. PVC cement primer works for paint also. Heat gun works for PVC, but hot sand is more manageable. Could have heated all six at same time. The bungee net on lid is nice, but hooks can snag coat material. You could bend hooks closed or just cut them off and knot. I’m a huge fan of zip ties, I liked the lid hinge made with them, if you add paracord to sides of lid and base, you’ll prevent lid from flipping over in strong wind. Last, budget bungees are great, but bulk shock cord is even cheaper.
Excellent comments Breaux. This is a top kayak crate, the best I’ve seen on YT and your tips would be the cream on the cake. Thanks for sharing your broader knowledge tips mate! Paul 😃
@@mikesouthworth1999 Use a campstove or portable burner (electric gives good heat control) to heat a pot filled with sand. Put pipe ends into sand to heat then mold/shape as needed. An infrared (non-contact) thermometer makes this easier, but a fryer style glass one works also.
Great video. Hint: use a Dremel with a sanding drum bit to clean the hacksaw cut on the rod holders. Much easier to use and control than a palm sander.
Great project. *IF* you make your own baits keep the pieces of cut off bungie cords. Inside the stretchy bands are good for making fly bait legs and jig legs.
Great job on the crate. My crate is almost identical. Fabulous build with readily available material that doesn't break the budget. Thanks for making this.
You did a good job for on the fly build, and it will work for what you want it to. I myself are not a big fan of counting on zip ties other than using them for cable management. A 2x4 is 1.5" x 3.5". So if you have any 3/4" plywood, or other 1 by ? boards they are 3/4" thick. You can get them in various widths. I would use a piano hinge to assist in the alignment of closing the lid. If you don't want to paint PVC, use ABS tubes. On the inside of your box, you can also use the bungies to help separate any gear loaded in the box. Awesome video and build. I am not knocking it. It is fine. I am only offering up some suggestions. The most important thing is you keep doing you👍
Another good idea for mounting the 2x4’s would have to stainless bolts run through and have a large washer on the to hold the 2x to the creat and you could zip off any extra bolt sticking out on the inside of the creat
WF, Just went for the first time Kayak fishing and borrowed friends Kayak and I had no equipment so I went on the Tube looking and found your page, This crate system is perfect for what I am doing and I am soooo stealing this idea. Awesome DIY and will be perfect for what I need. Thanks so much . I own one pole and am looking for used Kayak to get started. AWESOME!!!!!!!
Great idea. This is the 4th or 5th video of your I have watched. Seen some of your latest videos. Liked the content and smart ideas. Starting here and will try to watch them all 🙏👍👍
Man that was awesome watching you building this kayak cart. I built one similar to that. I don't have a lid on mine but I'm thinking about adding one but I do have four fishing rod holders that i zip-tied to the crate and everything has been working out great. Two other rod holders are for the kayak dollies & the other two are for the fishing pole. Great video thank you for sharing.
I like that you are in my general area, I’m 30 minutes northwest of Pittsburgh. Same fishing conditions. Hopefully I will have a kayak for fishing next year. Love the tips!
a table saw also works well to make quick work of that cutting of the milk crate and makes for pretty clean straight lines too since you have the fence to guide it.
love the crate! built mine (sans side rod holders) going to add a couple pieces of left over pvc i have for two piece paddle storage and to fly a "here i am" yak safety flag
Great job man I think I'm going to bolt the 2x4 and use a butterfly nut on the inside instead of using zip ties to keep the 2x4 in place. I may also just use a thinner piece of wood instead of the 2x4, not sure yet. Cool beans. 2 👍s up.
I've made a couple of these and the other is a thinner piece of wood and it works well. Some kayaks need that extra space to fit. Let me know how it comes out.
I had one very similar to this when I bought my first kayak. Instead of the 2x4 wood, try to find and use a plastic cutting board. You can cut it down to the size of the crate side, mount the rod holders to that, then secure it to the crate.
Great video. Friendly advice with zip ties: When you cut the tails off, the leftover nub is sharp enough to slice a diamond- your fingertip much easier. Instead of cutting, grip the tail with pliers and spin a few times until the tail breaks off. The nub will be smooth and not cut you.
Very true. I had to send an employee to the E.R. for stitches due to a old zip tip opening his forearm up while loosening a drain plug on a truck. Walmart sells a small pair of flush cuts for like $5 in the tool section. They work very well for eliminating that sharp tag end.
I've just found your channel and I like it but, your fresh water and I'm moving to Florida from Illinois. Some of these things you are making or your trip to walmart, can you do a video on doing these walmart shopping tours using items that will not get damaged by the saltwater?
@@wendellfishing sounds great. Love the videos so far. Been in Law Enforcement for 20yrs. Time to make a change in my career path plus I hate Illinois. Lol. Going to MMI to train for Marine Mechanics
I may borrow the 2x4 trick because when adding rod holders on the side of my crate in my Hobie Outback, they are too wide and it interferes with one of the bungee cords… thanks great video!!
Impressive and well thought out piece of home made hardware BUT I've never found a need to bring more than one or two rods with me and I'll never understand yaks bristling with multiple rods.
G'day Mate that is one hell of a great crate. Just bought my first yak and I will do building this for mine. stay safe and keep your powder dry, from the land down under. What was that falling from the sky was that snow ??????
One tip do not use scissors on zip ties as it will wear down the scissor blades or cause the scissors to warp. The best things to use is wire cutters/flush cutters or even the cutting part on pliers.
@@wendellfishing I definitely will be making one! Luckily the store next to me gives me the crates for free when I ask 😁. I don’t have a yak yet but I will be making a travel compact cart with mine. Might add the crate to a small collapsible hand cart. It can carry my bait bag or something and my poles. We’ll see what happens until I get a yak.
Milk crate theft is a really big problem for dairies and stores in the US and costs the industry thousands of dollars every year. While the big boys might be able to suck up this kind of loss, it can have a very real impact on the smaller shops and dairies and it’s you, as the consumer, who will end up paying for it.
Good question... I used mine for an entire season before I needed to tighten them. I actually like to move mine around at different angles... especially when I set up my over the shoulder gopro angle.
Do you fish with rookies? I am thinking of getting into the sport and living in Salem. I am looking for kayak fishing clubs or groups since I am definitely a rookie.
@@roastingshackspecialtycoff3996 Interestingly enough.. this has been something I have been thinking about recently... Let me give this some more thought.
Hey !!!!! is that the Duty Truck that's your've borrowed just to get these vids done for us ? I don't think the Offr of the Day is going to be too pleased when he finds out youhave taken the Duty Veh before he did do he could go get the firewood Bwhhahahaha
Ha! I do have a lot of tools and there are some great premade crates. I just saw one at Walmart yesterday without the rod holders for $40. Tight lines!
Omg it cost me 10$ to buy 3 pole rod inserts drill the holes in my kayak insert them screw them down and done. I use my create to keep my line and anchor tied to it and if l ever roll over my anchor dumps itself preventing my kayak from drifting away from me.
@@wendellfishing For that reason, cannibalizing the scrap bits of the top crate for making your spacers might be a better idea. Should be lighter, too.
@@wendellfishing yeah, it's the only gun I got right now 😂 I want to buy a small handgun, that would be much easier to carry. I carry my shotgun because I went to a swampy part of a lake to fish for bowfin and I think I reeled in an alligator so I make sure to have a gun with me now
I have to agree totally with Wendell on his comment Kiko. It is a DIY video so I’m a little bemused why you would watch a DIY video then feel the need to comment that you don’t have the tools to do it. Also, you can do this without a lot of the power tools (you will need the drill) and do it with a few basic hand tools being a small cheap hand saw, a hacksaw blade (to be really cheap), and a screw driver. Remembering also that if you were to buy any of the tools shown herein then you’re not investing in them just for this crate build. You’d be investing in them for life because you’ll need these basic tools used herein just for normal home ownership repairs and maintenance.
@@wendellfishing It wasn't a bad video and I really dug your idea. Have you ever seen the larger milk crates? I found a website online that sells them and you can even get them in a variety of different colors and they're actually not that bad price-wise. I ordered two of those and was thinking about doing something similar to what you did but maybe changing it up a little bit. Also, I really liked your idea for the lid! I'm definitely stealing that one lol
@@A2discgolfdude I have seen them.. but wouldn't fit my 10 ft kayak space.. maybe with a longer yak. Steal away my friend and let me know how it comes out!

The zip tie connection would be better if it was inside on the crate and the lid

Milk crate theft is a really big problem for dairies and stores in the US and costs the industry thousands of dollars every year. While the big boys might be able to suck up this kind of loss, it can have a very real impact on the smaller shops and dairies and it’s you, as the consumer, who will end up paying for it.
Yeah.. don't recommend stealing them. I bought mine
I’m curious as to why you only attached the rod holders with one screw vs two. Don’t they tend to pivot?

For that reason, cannibalizing the scrap bits of the top crate for making your spacers might be a better idea.
Should be lighter, too.

To be fair, it does say DIY in the title. DIYers usually have these tools.
I have to agree totally with Wendell on his comment Kiko. It is a DIY video so I’m a little bemused why you would watch a DIY video then feel the need to comment that you don’t have the tools to do it. Also, you can do this without a lot of the power tools (you will need the drill) and do it with a few basic hand tools being a small cheap hand saw, a hacksaw blade (to be really cheap), and a screw driver. Remembering also that if you were to buy any of the tools shown herein then you’re not investing in them just for this crate build. You’d be investing in them for life because you’ll need these basic tools used herein just for normal home ownership repairs and maintenance.
Kiko Mac was expecting you to karate chop the crate in half SMH
I’m thinking about a follow up video. Maybe I’ll channel my Mr. Miagi
Makes no sense if you don't have the tools,better off spending the 100 dollars for a quality storage crate.
