Kayak Storage Rack
In this video, I show you the steps I took to create a storage rack for two kayaks from start to finish. I try to provide alternative methods to accomplish the steps involved in completing this project. Everyone has different woodworking skills and a different set of tools available to complete a project. I try to offer multiple suggestions so that you can complete the job with whatever basic tools that you may have on hand.
My hope is that you will use this video to gather some ideas for you own project, and then tweak and customize the design so that it suits your needs. If you attempt this project, I'd love to hear from you and see pics of your completed kayak/canoe rack.
Here are some links to the materials that I used for this project:
-- 2 x 4 x 8 Board (www.lowes.com/pd/Top-Choice-2-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-Douglas-Fir-Lumber-Common-1-5-in-x-3-5-in-x-8-ft-Actual/1000028959)
-- Provincial Wood Stain by Minwax (www.lowes.com/pd/Minwax-Wood-Finish-Provincial-Oil-Based-Interior-Stain-Actual-Net-Contents-32-fl-oz/999914201)

    The explanation of how to change a wheelbarrow WHEEL is well presented, but this only half of the steps required to change a wheelbarrow TIRE. Changing the wheel which is mounted tire with an inner tube mounted on a rim with bearings already installed is a great deal easier, and probably the right choice for many DIY enthusiasts. To change the tire, after removing the wheel, press the shraeder valve pin to deflate the tire and then remove the valve core to allow the inner tube to breathe freely. Using a rubber mallet, strike the tire adjacent to the rim to un-seal the tire bead from the rim on both sides. squeeze the beads together to allow the bead to slip into the center of the rim on one side so that one bead can slip over the lip of the rim on the opposite side. Finish removing one bead from the rim. if there is an inner tube (a wheelbarrow usually does), push the tire stem inward to allow the innertube to be removed, and slip the innertube out . Now remove the other tire bead as before. A new tire is installed by performing the same steps in the reverse order. The new tire's bead will be (much) easier to slip over the rim if both are moistened with a mixture of water and dish soap. The bead will have to be deformed to an oval to slip over the rim . If you choose to use any prying tools to assist you, be careful not to attempt to stretch the tire's bead. The tire bead has a steel cable inside it,. If the cable is broken the tire will eventually pop off the rim at some inconvenient moment. The idea is to push the bead toward the small diameter part of the rim on one side, to allow it to make an oval without stretching. Once one bead is on, slip the innertube inside the tire and pull the stem out through the rim before putting the second bead on the the rim. when mounted, add just a couple of PSI of air to puff things up and put the beads in their final positions. now release the air to allow the innertube to shift before inflating to 10-12 PSI. Deflate again to allow the innertube to shift before fully inflating. To install a wheelbarrow tire without an innertube runs into a chicken and egg paradox. The beads will not seal to the rim without pressure inside the tire, but while the beads are not sealed the tire leaks air and will not hold air to build pressure. Wrap a short ratchet strap round the tread and tighten it to deform the tire so that it presses outward on the beads to get them to both make contact with the rim. Inflating the tire will still require delivering a large volume quickly from a reservoir to build pressure inside because the beads are not yet sealed and the tire leaks air. Its pretty nearly impossible to get the beads to seat well enough to use a hand pump. Its very difficult to get them to seal well enough to use a 12v tire inflator air pump. When an air compressor with a reservoir is not available, an innertube is recommended.

Side note: why do they not properly provide the proper replacement hardware for the full replacement of the overflow plate for those of us who require the slot adapter🤷🏼‍♀️smh I know nobody else can see the condition of the screws under the overflow plate BUT I know….

    • @projectsfordiyers2512
      @projectsfordiyers2512 2 роки тому

      Hi Chris -- glad you found the video helpful! Good question about the corroded screw. I really love a product called PB Blaster. It's my go to when I have a stuck old screw that won't turn. It goes on like WD-40, but works much better! It really smells though so make sure you have a fan running if you use it. It may take a couple of applications to start turning the screw but it had worked for me in the majority of cases when I needed it. Here's a link to the product: www.lowes.com/pd/Blaster-PB-Penetrant-4-fl-oz-PB-Penetrant/1000213835?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-hdw-_-ggl-_-LIA_HDW_214_Automotive-_-1000213835-_-local-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=CjwKCAjwoMSWBhAdEiwAVJ2ndhWus_qZN-Dn8Jm_fGbMVQEr-yOr8vZh6M0MRIaGcQ2Zw-Q_BWQ62hoCIbMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds. I have had some instances where the PB Blaster doesn't work (very few though). And in these cases, I usually resort to just cutting right through the screw with my dremel tool and a metal cutting rotary bit. Here's a link to the product I use: www.lowes.com/pd/Dremel-6-Piece-Steel-1-1-2-in-Cutting-Wheel-Accessory-Kit/999982150. I'm not sure about your specific project and if this would work. But it's an idea for you to consider. I've had rusty bolt nuts under my kitchen sink that just wouldn't budge so I took my dremel tool and just sliced right through them. Works like a charm! Hope this helps!

      @projectsfordiyers2512 2 роки тому

      Thanks for your question. I didn't get one in black. The one I used is an oil rubbed bronze finish that I picked up from Amazon (www.amazon.com/Kingston-Brass-K1301A5-Decorative-Rubbed/dp/B00O35WYES/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=tub+spout+ring&qid=1657074445&sr=8-3). It matched my bathtub spout really well. I did a quick search and I wasn't able to find one in black. But if the oil-rubbed bronze doesn't match quite right with your bathtub spout, you could always consider purchasing some black spray paint to spray and seal it before installing. If you're going to go that route, I found this really cheap ring on Lowes that would save you a bit of money if you're also buying spray paint (www.lowes.com/pd/Danco-2-25-in-Chrome-Bathtub-Shower-Trim-Ring/3515018).

    Great video! I will try this on our bathtub faucet. One suggestion, turn off the water heater (turn the temperature to “vacation” or turn the control to “pilot”) before you turn off the water and open a faucet. That lets air into the pipes and the water heater. The water heater might not like having air inside; air does not conduct heat like water does. After you turn the water back on and get the air out of the plumbing, turn the water heater back on (turn the temperature back to A, B, or C or turn the control to “on”).

    • @projectsfordiyers2512
      @projectsfordiyers2512 2 роки тому

      That's a tough one. Is the screw stripped or just stuck? If it's just stuck and won't budge, I'd try some PB Blaster on it (link provided below). Let it sit for a bit and then try again. If it moves a bit and then gets stuck again, just repeat the process until the screw is out. www.lowes.com/pd/Blaster-PB-Penetrant-4-fl-oz-PB-Penetrant/1000213835?cm_mmc=shp-_-c-_-prd-_-hdw-_-ggl-_-PLA_HDW_000_Hardware_Catch-All-_-1000213835-_-online-_-0-_-0&ds_rl=1286981&gclid=CjwKCAjw_tWRBhAwEiwALxFPocKY_-lzLXRj0o7okeU7H-f72rHmo5khujEKagoZVEdMA659ubW7RhoCElUQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

      Ugh! That's ridiculous. Sorry to hear that. One of the reasons that I started doing DIY projects was because if I called someone and asked for help on a project, I'd inevitably have to do something anyway. For example, I hired someone to replace a broken valve on my washing machine and they left me with a giant hole in my drywall that I had to fix myself. I realized that no one will do a better job than me (after I've acquired some knowledge about the topic first, of course) because it's my home and I care about things being done right more than anyone that I hire to come in a do a job for me will care. It good to know your limitations -- I'll still hire someone if I feel that I just don't have enough skill to do the job. Happy DIYing.
