I just called an Uber to come pick up my weekly laundry and deliver it to your laundromat. I hope you use lemon scented soap. 🤣.....Great job on this 👍😎🇺🇸😇
This is awesome!!😍 You've done a fantastic job, and YOU ARE clever!!! With my back the way it is, this would work perfectly for me. I'm happy with a large bucket / tub if I have to handwash, but my back needs more looking after these days. Love your idea❤❤❤
Great build! I have an old double metal wash and rinse tub on wheels that don't roll anymore. It sure comes in handy. And, yes you can get a nice wringer. ❤
cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll try to build similar - however, I'll need to have an easy storage solution so maybe removable legs are the way to go for me. Love the idea of mounting a manual wringer.
I bought mine from Lehman last year. Only 1 they had in stock with the winger and they rang up the marked price on it & not Internet price. It was about $200 savings that way. If you live close by then it's worth the trip just in savings from shipping cost. I live about 3hrs away. I was able to pick up more off grid stuff from the savings
This is exciting! I was contemplating designing a clothes washer powered by a traditional windmill (Texas has had wild weather causing extended power-outages). Your design has answered so many of my "how do I even start" questions. Thank you for sharing your build!
Very nice build. Pure genius. I've been wanting something like this for myself, but I justt wasn't sure how to go about making it. I've got a wringer that I bought a few years ago, and this was the key piece I needed to set myself up with a great off grid washing machine. I have even come up with an idea for making it a lot better, and when I do it, I'll be sure to give you the credit for the original idea. It will be on my alternate channel DIMTIM1000. Thank you so much for sharing.
did something similar diy with a 55 gallon. check out the pannedemic dasher washer here on youtube. prefer to use 30 and 15 gallon size. i use them inside my bathtub so i don't need a stand. the only hand crank wringer i found that works is the heavy duty carwash type.
Have a nice trip? You preparing for the power being shut off? Nice project but, I would just build a wood gasifier to run my generator. Then I could use the labor saving devices. If you go with the gasifier and generator, put them on a trailer and use an electric chainsaw. Good Luck, Rick
@@will5184It is currently a bunch of propane tanks and pipes. When I need it, I'll build it but its not a priority yet. Mr Teslonian has excellent how to videos for alternative energy projects. Restoring my pickup and and enlarging my garden are the priorities. You could look at powering your washer with a vertical wind turbine and run it through the trans-axle from a lawn tractor. Good Luck, Rick
It is still going to be very cold in winter using this, but it does wonders for laundry outdoors if its all you can do. I would LOVE to have the ability to hang my laundry outdoors but my neighbors complain about everything I do.
Very impressive. Thanks for this grreat project. I just googled Lehman's and they no longer do the tub style washer like this. They only offer the wringers. I guess iyt was too expensive to ship them.
The old school method would be a tub and paddle or plunger. the washboard is only used for stains or really dirty areas (collars, cuffs, ect) I prefer my new set-up.
On glueing the agitator together...do you glue both short pipes and the handle on to the agitator....was wondering about that if you need to disassemble the agitator from the barrel. Thanks!
Fancy! As a Scoutmaster I had to teach my scouts how to wash their dirty clothes by hand! Having done that for years it really wasn’t that hard. Nice design.
I think we are gonna give this build a try. We were going to save for the Leman's but this may do better. I might add some holes in the agitator so the water and slosh through it. Thanks.
The lehmans one is junk. Ours broke after not even a year of use... The tub cracks where they have it supporting the handle so there's nothing you can do to stop it
@@will5184 Thank you. I'm building one now using 1 1/4. Also lowering bottom brace so my barrel sits lower. This way I don't need the uprights as I drill my holes right through the frame. Will post pic when complete. Thanks for the vid.

When bad times will come we wish to know or have all this😂

If I were doing "off-grid" this would be THE design to use. Thank you for sharing this.
You bet!
Mines better, no offense.
It was good to see a new video from you, I really missed them.
Impressive!! I always enjoy your ideas and videos!

Awesome. Could you also add a set of rollers (Wringer) to squeeze the water out?
Throw some wheels on the bottom, heavy problem solved.
Great build ❤
Great idea! Thanks for sharing. 😊
You are amazing! Great design! Keep up the good work. May God Bless you
I found a guy -- Eric Rickards on YT -- who made a wringer out of 2x4's and two wooden rolling pins from Walmart. Cheaper than Lehman's.
The prices are INSANE in that store😮😮😖😖

Nice build. Gave me some ideas.👍🏻
I like your DIY home washer, Lemans is a good place to find those wringers. They have a lot of non-electric items.
Great build!
I started to make one like that about a year ago but a good deal came my way with a antique washer and wringer so got it instead great video sir
That thing is pretty good! I like it! Awesome job!
Thanks

Not bad! This is what I need. :-) I live in an 8x12 "cottage" :-)

Europe was great, thanks. Do you have a video of your wood gasifier?

Noisy. Simple and quiet is bound to better. Plus you'll get back to basics as things wear out.
Thanks for the content.
Keep up the good work.

you can attach a Rope too The Handle and tie it too your Hammock and Rock & Wash while you Relax... thanks for sharing 🐬
Haha 😂

Thank you, this is the best one I have seen it's great
Great job 👍 ! Now….can u build an off grid dryer ? It be nice !
Ha ha😆😅
🖐️🥴🤙
Need to see it working!😜
washboard and tub? bucket and toilet plunger (never used in a toilet of course)? i use both.
The old school method would be a tub and paddle or plunger. the washboard is only used for stains or really dirty areas (collars, cuffs, ect) I prefer my new set-up.
Great idea!
On glueing the agitator together...do you glue both short pipes and the handle on to the agitator....was wondering about that if you need to disassemble the agitator from the barrel. Thanks!
Yes, everything is glued.
Fancy! As a Scoutmaster I had to teach my scouts how to wash their dirty clothes by hand! Having done that for years it really wasn’t that hard. Nice design.
There are a couple others who've hade a dasher washer. but they used other materials.
this is what I need to do. I went to Lowes and had sticker shock over the prices just for a basic washer
Looks great!

Great stuff! Thanks for sharing. God bless :)
Thanks
Impressive! Now, I just need to find a guy (or gal) to build me one! Thanks for sharing this!
Saludos desde México buen video voy a construir uno en cuanto lo tenga te enviaré una foto como muestra de agradecimiento
Me alegro de que te hayas inspirado. Mis mejores deseos para el proyecto.
Good Morning ! New SUB. Thanks Will. TAKE CARE..
I like it. I'll just need to adapt it to a 55 gallon drum. Thanks!
Thanks for the video! I'm quite curious, why don't you like pressure treated wood?
It's quite heavy, doesn't wood glue well & shrinks when it dries . There's applications when I'll use it, but I'll avoid it if it's not needed.
Oops my like bumped you to 666 likes! Sorry! Great work on that washer! I like it , and from your presentation I can build my own! Thanks!
Thanks.
Good design.
Okay, where's the hand crank or the stationary bicycle chained to the mechanism? How about a demo Billy-Bob?
Nice!
More high tech than the big rock in the brook behind my house:)
The schedule 80 pipe...how wide was the pipe you used?
The outside diameter is the same as schedule 40. The pipe is thicker so the inside diameter is not as large.
I believe I used 1.25 "
No demonstration?
I did a separate video for that.
What diameter PVC pipe?
I want to say I used 1 1/4 or 1 1/2. Whichever you feel better about.
@@will5184 Thank you. I'm building one now using 1 1/4. Also lowering bottom brace so my barrel sits lower. This way I don't need the uprights as I drill my holes right through the frame. Will post pic when complete. Thanks for the vid.
Could you hook it up to a wind turbine? Would be nice to not need to turn it yourself.
You should sell them.
Or if you don't sell them, you should sell the plans to make them.
👍🏼👍🏼💯💯
Add on idea, figure out how to make it bicycle powered for a kid to do the laundty😂. Looks good though really
Seriously all that you didn't show how it works 🙄 that's what I wanted to see 😑
Go check out my proof of concept video where I demonstrated.
If it's worth engineering, it's worth overengineering. Looks like it can take an airstrike. Perfect!
You should patent this, then make & sell them :)
I give you permission to do this. I hope you make millions.
I've shown the wife this video . Now she won't speak to me . I thought the cross bar is ideal to lean while watching her turn the handle
😂 😂😂
