- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 ก.พ. 2020
- Installing LED lights and drilling mounting holes, fabricating space saving passenger seat out of plywood, redoing the hood scoop and adding electric fan to make the engine cooling more forced, fabricating hitch ball mount, installing bilge pump and prepping the tub for paint next week by welding all the seams on the upper body. More is yet to come. Stay tuned. We'll be riding this thing soon! Can't wait!

@@dementez2164 Arvutit tunnen vähe, aga see kuidas sa eesti keelt eirad, on lausa kuridegu, kas endal tõesti häbi ei ole ? Töö on enam-vähem , aga räägi eesti keeles ja tõlge võiks olla mida iganes. Või võtad end paljaks nagu meie laulu staarid ? Millal see aparaat siis valmis saab? Ei oska otsida, kui juhuslikult satun peale.
Paha tuju?
"time flies when you're having fun" is more than a truism.
👍👍🇮🇩🇮🇩
3 drills is the way to go!! 1 to drill, 1 to countersink, and 1 to drive the screw. 👍👍
I was a little surprised that was 21 minutes.
It felt like 2 minutes.
Can’t wait to see it painted.
Dozer1642 Yeah, I get tired just watching him.
Yes paint in army green color
holy god.. read your comment first before watching then said... "i cant spend that much time right now i have stuff to finish in my own shop." yep. totally spent the whole 20 min and it felt like 2
Why
I'm seriously looking forward to the test drives and seeing what the finished product can do!
I'm looking forward to it too!
!do can product finished the what seeing and drives test the to forward looking seriously I'm
No clue why, but im totally spellbound by your work. Thanks for sharing!
Great show of skill and practical know how Donn!!! Can"t wait to see this vehicle in action!!!!
Excellent work👍👍👍. Thanks for sharing.
I see you are getting more comfortable with the plasma cutter. It's a real sanity saver. It's looking awesome.
Plasma cutter rocks!
I am loving it! You do such good careful work. I love to watch you craft everything. Time for a good coat of primer inside. Make sure it is water-tight.
Thanks! The tub will be zink primed and powder coated - this will seal any small leaks too hopefully.
Every week I look forward to your video. It is absolutely faboulous what you make!!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing craftsmanship
Донн,нет слов!!я просто восхищён твоей работой!!!!смотрю взахлёб!!от меня и моих сыновей тебе удачи и здоровья желаем!!!! ждём новых серий!!!
Hey Donn, you’ll be a rockin and rollin soon 👍👍 !! It’s coming right along really quick now. Sure it’s going to be great. Thanks for sharing with us , it’s been fun watching. Can’t wait to see you drive it out of your shop!
I have to push it out of the shop unfortunately - it's too wide with the tracks on to fit through the doors. So I'll just install the tracks outside and then go roost around in it! 😀
That will work too🤗. Just catch it on video cause it’s going to be good. Thanks for sharing with us
Again a lesson in doing things properly and thoroughly. I admire your patience. Great job.
Great build, love the attention to details and look forward to seeing this vehicle in the wild. One suggestion is that you place a one-way valve inline with that sump pump to keep water from coming in if you happen to find yourself on your side in a deep bog...
One-way valve is a great idea!
Great work once again. That trick you did with determining cut radius with the abrasive disk was quite clever. It seems that you made the machine relatively simple to disassemble, which will be great for maintenance, another great idea.
Hi there ! I am absolutely overwhelmed by this video !!! I've seen really good mechanics, but what you're showing here is awesome !!! faszierend !!!! that's what I call an artist! Please more of your videos !!!! 👍👍👍👋👋👋🇩🇪
More videos will come. 💪
I really like you updated cooling for the engine compartment. 👍👍
I almost thought I saw the beginning of a transom mount for an outboard motor when you were building the rear passenger seating.
I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.
Thank you for watching!
Coming along nicely.
Galvoju turejei tikslą sukurti tokią technika dėl potvynių. Puikus darbas. 👍
Не знаю когда он поедет, но этот парень профи, его быстроте и точности надо отдать должное!
Спасибо за добрые слова.
Waited for this video to see how many guessed the 700kg weight, many did and that was cool. Very instructive way you used getting the weight with the use of fulcrums and weights, I'd never have thought of that, give me a scale anytime..lol..Like the additions, lights, bilge pump and the seating idea is superb, continue the good stuff stay safe !!
Thank you, Barton. I'm inspired by SV Seeker a lot. 😉 This amphibious vehicle is kind of a sailing vessel as well. 😆
From the looks of how detail-conscious and practical this build has been, I'll wager your great-grandson will be using this craft to do things on his farm. For @ 700 kg/1544lbs this is one SUBSTANTIALLY BUILT machine!
Having to wait for the next video reminds me of waiting for Christmas as a young boy.
😀 So I guess it's a good thing then?
Its a serious scoop now. Cool trick estimating the weight.
I used to dip galve my gear, found it far better protection. Can still paint it after as well.
Nice job, can't wait for the play time.
Just an amazing journey to follow your construction. Thank you for sharing your amazing journey. God bless you and your family.
Thank you for following along on this journey!
Весь цикл, можно смело назвать: "Залипательное видео для перфектционистов" 😊
😇💪
Yay I was right about the weight. Looks great.
💪
Nice job! You have talent young man. Just a suggestion., you should get yourself some rivenuts. Pretty much an essential when working with sheet metal. No more need of welding nuts or using loose nuts for holding items. Thanks for sharing
Excellent!
I really like how you did the fan and scoop
Labas vakaras. Čia tas pats kur pradžioje žiūrėjom. Čia tikra amfibija tau išėjo geras patinka tavo darbas. 👍👍👍👍👍
G’day Donn well I have followed you from the start of the build and I have throughly enjoyed it. Your skills in welding and engineering are bloody terrific , you have really thought this out well mate just one word. Fantastic. Can’t wait for the next video when you prime the main structure, anyway Donn good luck and all the best, kind regards John Tasmania Australia
Wonderful workmanship Donn always very interesting thanks for sharing 👍🇦🇺
Dude that little trick building the hitch was on point!
Excellent work and engineering skills . Keep up the excellent quality . Joy to view .
Good to see things coming together,........uh, I mean apart I suppose. My wieght calculation was wrong, I forgot to add the new hood scoop, fan/motor, heat shields , seat wood and other add-ons. Those gravitational waves made me miss by about 100kgs. Oh well. I really enjoy your channel. Can't wait!! Oh liked the eared smiley face.....😁😙 P.S. I would consider the scoop to the rear as recommended below. Cheers
Barry West
25 hp? 2000lbs with driver only, i dunno about this, id be at 40hp at least
@@robertpowers7856 no believe he got plenty of power with that multispeed transmission. I think it'll be just fine. If not, he'll more than get it resolved.
You are so close ! I am looking forward to more. Has always I liked and shared. All my very best.
Loving it. It's one of the highlights of my weekend, watching your video. We need 2 a week. Even if one is short. Nice job as usual.
Awesome job, been following your build for a while. looking forward to see it in action.
Donn, I am absolutely amazed at what you're able to accomplish. Youre definitely my favorite channel on TH-cam!
Thank you!
Great Video!
This is some better woodworking that some TH-cam channels where that is all they do - I’m excited to see this run, and looking forward to what ever you do next!
Suggest you face the hood scoop to the rear. You will still have plenty of air flow to the engine due to the fan and in case you take water over the front, you won't have a direct flow path for the water to flood the engine. Add a couple drain holes at the front of the scoop and any water that gets into the scoop should flow back out around the fan ring. Something to think about. Very impressive build and you are one heck of a fabricator.
Just what I was thinking # Suggest you face the hood scoop to the rear.
I have the scoop the way I have it just because of the rain - I will keep this vehicle outside and the bonnet is in the rain so I don't want the rain water to flow in to the tub. I will slowly go in the water so there will be no wake in front of the vehicle big enough to submerge the thing. Hopefully. 😀
You do some really great work, looking forward to seeing it primed and painted...
I'm looking forward to it too
I like your welds and your thoughts about this project, and thanks for sharing your great videos
I would add a couple of straps of metal over the drive shaft tube. From experience, if they break, sheet metal won't stop the engine from beating you to death with it. Cars have strategically placed metal doublers to prevent that.
Good idea. Can do!
Сколько труда и терпения! Респект и уважуха!!!
oh my god i`m getting so excited it`s like a film you don`t want to end but can`t wait to see what happens well done brilliant
Wow! I’m amazed at your skills with every video!👍
Good job
Thank you!
Good to see it progressing.
That smiley face you cut out should be the emblem on the front of the vehicle!!
Lol it did look a bit like you!
Cheers from Sydney Australia. 🇦🇺👍🦘🐨👍🇦🇺
Wow that’s awesome!!! You took the main idea I said in the video of the hood and scoop!!! Keep it up man!!! Great job done so far!!!
Как всегда всё супер! Ты лучший Донни!
It Looks Great! Brilliant Work!
Дааа . . . . класно иметь огромное количество инструмента под руками !
И уметь им пользоваться.
@@user-lp6np8xd6t Да умение пользования инструментом конечно желательно . Но как правило оно приходит с годами . И очень хорошо если оно основывается на чьём то опыте . К примеру возьмём угло шлифовальную машину (болгарку) . Казалось бы что тут такого ? .Но идут давние споры как правильно должен вращаться диск . С отлётом искр на себя , или от себя . Когда искры летят на тебя , что бы не загорела одежда используется фартук .Когда искры летят от тебя никакого фартука использовать не надо - красота . Но как поведёт себя диск болгарки при закусывании и соответственно обломе на огромной скорости . А вот тут интересно . Если искры летели на тебя дис при обломе полетит в перёд и в низ . А вот если искры летели от тебя то диск полетит как бумеранг - сначала в верх , а потом назад .На моего соседа до сих пор страшно смотреть . Диск ему прилетел сначала в лоб , потом порвав верхнюю губу и выбив зуб - сломал нижнюю челюсть . Вот такая печалька .
@@user-fv8hp3rd4e да уж. Кожух не просто так передумали. Чтобы он смог компенсировать скорость и удар и защитить.
@@user-fv8hp3rd4e да, да во об этом много споров? Я отвечаю так " мне робу купить труда не составит, а вот ногу или яйца не знаю в каких магазах. Кто начинает доказывать посылаю на ЙУХ и базар окончен...
Bildge pump install looks great!
Cheers!
Coming along nicely, I always look forward to your next video!
Смотрю с восхищением насколько продумана каждая деталь лайк
Большое спасибо!
Молодец! Настоящий мужик! И с металлом может работать и с деревом!
Man your fabrication skills are off the hook!!!!! 👍
Парень! Ну ты крут!!! Руки золотые и мозги такие же! Молодец!!!
Thanks A'gain Donn! This is weekend best thing! 🎅🏻👍🏻🇫🇮

😆💪
Thank you for sharing a great video with your amazing and fantastic videos.
This build is outstanding👌 i really like the New hood/scoop Design
You ade very talented
Cheers!
the never ending soldering!!! awesome!!!
💪
This thing should be epic once it’s finished! Very interesting stuff!
Love the build its awesome. If its amphibious though may wanna turn that scoop around 😆
man i have really enjoyed this build! you are one hell of a fabricator !!
Cheers!
Keep up the great work, I have not missed a video yet.
hey Donn if your plan is to drive the tracks from just the rear tires you will probably need some chain configuration to the front tires also; otherwise hills ,heavier loads as well certain snow conditions will cause the drive tire to spin inside track or want to bind track in between tires
.Great videos I have learned lots from them, thank you.
The metal parts of the tracks have small edges on them that bite in to the rear tires with soft rubber. The tires are tightened with tire pressure. I've seen it done before. Let's hope it's not going to be a problem. 👍
Amigo, eres todo un genio.... Manejas todas las herramientas, eres increíble, yo quiero ver terminado el vehículo.
Dam dude your welding is freakin spot on!!!!!
Cada vez que termino de ver un capítulo, ya quiero ver el otro, saludos desde Miami.
I have been watching you build this and it is very impressive you are doing a great job keep it up
Такие же фонарики в Китае заказал, светят так ярко,что слепят,плюс режимов очень много!Хочу на трактор поставить,снег чистить снегоочистителем,пусть мигают!
i've just finished a 2 day marathon. all 22 episodes were devoured :) looking forward for the 23rd. this is the most epic diy job i've ever saw. awesome :)
congratulations mate. keep it up.
Cheers man! I'm still working on small bits and pieces just before the paint. Hoping to finish all the prep work today and tow it to the paintshop tomorrow or the day after that. 👍
Got to admire your freehand plasma cutting skills, and great idea using cutoff discs as a template, I have lots in different sizes!!😋
😀
Una maravilla el trabajo, felicitaciones!!!
You are so damn good at this! Its pure joy to watch
What colour is it going to be? I hope light olive green !
Thank you. Color is still to be decided.
More vid please, i'm waiting to see it turn on and run.... You did a very good job, not like other youtuber, you're best in car DIY
Simply the best... Regards from Spain
Very nice job looks great
Отличная работа. Ждем ходовых испытаний.👍👍👍👍👍

Great project keep it up, thanks.
Wow is that looking good. You're going to be getting orders before you know it.🤔🤗😎
Молодец, сколько труда!!!
Спасибо!
Gret work, that fan blowing straight down reminds me of the old porsche race cars from the 70’s...
only need a boxer engine now and they would be almost the same. 😂
😆
I think you make one of the best work on TH-cam
