The build was cool and I'm sure pretty handy but, the best part was the 3'2" helper. That time spent with him was invaluable. Good job balancing work with family time. It will pay dividends later on. Stay safe fellas.
Bet that made Gunner proud that you trusted him to measure for you. Good self esteem boost. Was noticing him in the background while you welded the rebar on the rim going to town on the vice, LOL. The saddest part about a child is how their willingness to help goes down with age. By the teen years good luck finding most of them when there is work to be done. When they are young they want to help to be near. Gunner worked his butt off on that dozer making a mess. We won't tell him it it won't survive the next run though some wet earth. Gunner will always remember the time you two work together on these projects. Making great memories. The reel went from John Deer to Caterpillar, LOL. Aaron is going to be upset you messed up his floor again this time with paint🤣. The time you spend with both your kids is priceless.
Cool build - Gunner you did a great job measuring, painting and cleaning the dozer. A real good help to Dad. Dirt Perfect those many hours as a younger person inventing things are continually being put into use now and saving $$$. Great video.
Mike, that was a great job of innovation and fabrication. The only thing I would add is some form of friction brake on the spool, so the roll of pipe can't free-spool and tangle in the reel of forks on the skid-steer. (It started doing it once in the video, but the "Director" yelled, "Cut!" so we didn't see what happened). Reminds me of one of my Dad's famous statements: "Necessity is the Mother of Invention!"
It's really cool that you made it a Father-Son build. He will remember this day, many years to come. Great invention, great video and great content! Thanks Mike & Gunner! Lee
Cherish the time you spend with young Gunner. My earliest and fondest memories are times spent with my Father and my uncle on building sites in the Uk in the 70’s. Pre health and safety when common sense was in abundance learning to drive and operate JCB’s and dumpers at the age of 9 was a dream come true
19:15 I'd put some long conveyer belt roller on either end of this contraption, also it needs a bolt or a piece of chain or something so you can tilt the forks without it sliding so it eases loading a new roll of drainage tile
Nothing more satisfying than a day in the shop with your son he will never forget how much he helped daddy I'm 80 years old and I can still remember days like that with my dad
It looked like Gunner was having a lot of fun over at the bench building something while you were busy welding. It brought back memories of when I would stay a weekend with my grandparents and spend time with my grandfather in his garage building things or playing in there. During the winter he would get a fire going in the stove and then bring a couple of wheelbarrow loads of sand in so I could play with my trucks while he sat and read the paper. Everything he built was also painted green!
Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best Mike. Sure was in this case!! The shots of the digger laying in the pipe looked effortless and left little/no trace of where the pipe had been buried.. Good to see Gunner getting in on the act with accurate measuring!! Best wishes from Scotland. Cheers.
Nice father/son build!! Then Gunner outshines you on the camera!! Way to go Gunner!! To top it off the tubing spool turned out great! Necessity is the mother of invention. Take care
If the spindle shears off . You could drill a hole in the top of that square tube and then sink it in the hole and weld it on the top and bottom around the spindle. That would give really good side shear support. Great idea to see come to fruition!
You certainly gave that lad the right name there folks what a little trooper. Nice job on the spooling device Mike 👍🏼 Greetings from a Scottish ex Soldier.
Neat idea, only suggestions I'd put forward would be lay a couple more beads of weld around the axle joint and increase the fillet size, you might be asking a bit much from just one bead. Some sort of light brake on the inside of the wheel rim to stop it running on and un spooling when you stop. And the guides need to be able to swivel with the pipe as it un spools, it might make for a smoother run. Oh and Gunner needs a pay rise! 😁
Awesome being able to work with Gunner in the shop!! Always the best working with young one to be able to teach them and be with them. Thank you again for great videos sir. 👍👍
Almost as good a helper as mbts,great to see you and junior working together,that's what I always wanted with my dad,you are doing a great job,and Mrs is a great supporter
Loved how the new shop Forman took charge of getting Jerry’s dozer clean. Wonderful family stuff. Thank you for that. This is what prime time tv used to be. Hi from Texas
NICE! Cool attachment mike. And gunny sweet job ! Mike I see him skipping school when he is older to work in the shop. Helping dear old dad. Build attachments. And turning wrenches with you!. Enjoy the time dad. They just don't last. And gunner great job on the 850 b. Nice job!
Best part of the video is a son and dad working together. By the way my daughter loved working in the shop more than my son. My work days are over but working with my little ones are some of my very best memories. That's the way you do it. Love your channel.
Cool dad making memories with your son🥰. Only one of my sons likes to help me when I’m working on my street buggy 😃. One is always better than none 🤷🏻♂️. See you on the next video DP. 👍🏼🤙🏼
A father and son afternoon.... marvellous!! You knew what you needed and made it work !! Green paint was definitely not covering anything, yellow hid the lot !! Enjoyed Gunners little segment, complete with " I got tired of doing it " nowt but the truth eh !!!! 🤣
The apple does not fall far from the tree.. He loves the camera and can talk too (all good) Mr. Dirt Perfect.. That will be your replacement in a few short years.. My youngest grandkids are a bit older, still Papaw is there favorite, cause they get to play with big boy toy's (and get very spoiled) Ya need more video's with the kiddo's more often.. Thank you for sharing...
Definitely a cool video simply cause of the 3'2" helper. My 3 yr old has been out in the shop with me every time it's been safe since he was just over 1 yrs old. Not many things better than dad and son in the shop together doing cool things.
think its so great you bring your son out to help you , i had just one kid and was a girl and thought here everything about working on cars and trucks and haling equipment for oil well rids she is smarter then most of the men she knows now about motors and such also how to chain and bind equipment down / but so nice to see you and gummer working together something he will always remember . i know my father taught me all about motors and things and he is gone now but always remember him when doing some things he taught me .
I was going to say you need a loop around the bottom for the very reason you saw what can happen. but you did a great job building that pipe spool. as for the feed loops just weld them to a bearing hub so they can pivot based on direction. glad to see that job went great.
Way to go Gunner. Cleaned that dozer pretty good. Looked like that spool works great. Can't wait to see videos. Probably better you made your own. Designed for needs and as strong as you want it. Mabe you should Patten it. Way to go.
I think Herbybandit's on the right track. Some kind of adjustable fiction device to prevent the inertia of the wheel from freewheeling when you stop. For the feed guide take a look at the rollers where the air hose leaves your airline reel. Won't be long before that boy will be dirtying dozers not cleaning them!
Great Design. Great concept. may I suggest that when working with tubing (round or square) it is best practice to have or make "WEEP-HOLES." Purpose of the "WEEP-HOLES," is to allow the moisture that builds up, and turns into a small water puddle(s) and just continues to grow in size, without a place to leave (dissipate) the tubing over time. Method No.#-1, If your using say 2" in. square Tubing, on the bottom only have a 1.75" in long weld bead. Split the difference (approx. 1/8" in.) from each end. One side only is necessary. Method No.#-2, Drill a single hole, approx. 1/8" in. (0.125" in.) or a 3/16" in. (0.187" in.) close (as in approx 1" in. or less) to the welded area. I would argue for the larger 3/16" in hole. Allows more air flow to enter and leave (thus causing evaporation) the tubing. Always try to locate the "WEEP-HOLE," at the lowest point. Check out any tubing on car / equipment trailers, Lt. Dan etc. Those holes aren't there because somebody had some time to kill with a drill, drilling a hole.
Great job. Good to see your helper showing you how to. Also if you would have talked things over with the captain you would not have been questioning details. Lol
Great Job!!!!! A suggestion: the loop that sits at the edge, might work better if that loop pivots. (I know I am about a 1 1/2 years late in seeing this video for the first time, but that is what came to me when you will building it.)
Nice work, I guess MBTS is rubbing off on Gunner, cleaning shop and taking care of the equipment, nicely done Gunner!! Can’t wait to see the videos with everything in action. Dad and son time is “priceless”!!!👍🇺🇸
To make it more universal you could make the vertical post with the guides interchangeable, so you can do different pipe diameters. Also, the guide could be split and hinged so it can be closed over a pipe rather than threading it through the guide. Finally, a brake on the wheel hub, just an adjustable drag pad like an exercise bike would keep tension on the spool so it doesn't run wild and overspin and drop pipe loops under your skid steer. I love these kinds of DIY projects. Thanks for sharing.
Mike that works pretty good. Gunner did a great job on the dozer and with you. I've got a little suggestion for shaking the paint can. Tape it to a sawzall blade and let it rip. Take care and have a blessed day and I'll see you on your next vidja.
Just when I thought I was finished for this Sunday series of channel post watching after a 1 hour plus Mustie1 vid I find one from Mike Dirt Perfect so I'll catch this one and watch as I eat a slice of my Bebita Wife's birthday cake leftover from last night with a glass of milk. Perfect finish to a Sunday night.
The 3'2" helper is more effective than his helper :P He are cleaning stuff, have not seen anyone else doing that have seen a online stream and 2 videos/(1 MBTS ) before this and some one have a lot of excuses why some one have not cleaned. Some one is slacking with the Respirator when painting... So Gunner is the star in this video. enough ranting Suggestions for improvement a hinge a smal axel a 75-90degree of angle rubber wheel and a spring on the inside of the rim to slow down the auto spool or a hinge 1 inch plat steel bent to match inner part of rim and put a rubber mat on the steel and a spring you take what you have and "KISS" Nice video waiting for the next we know that you have a large pile of them for us.
FYI, some paint will be crap for awhile. A few paint manufacturers stopped making paint and started making hand sanitizer during the peak of Covid. Now they are hustling around trying to play catch up with the paint. The quality may be poor because of demand and little time to produce it. Great video Mike, that looks stronger than most of the ones I see.
just a thought on where the pipe go's threw the eye on the tube .. put a bearing on it so the eye can turn the direction your pulling .. might help ,, another thought put a rubber block to rub the rim if the pipe unrolls too fast before it comes off the rig .. was not there not sure if rim is spinning too fast .. great build ,, check the air pressure in that rim if you can get too the valve stem .. lol
So great to see Gunner out there helping you and learning early. Awesome affective build DP. Can't wait to see it in full action along with the Ripper doing its thing behind the 850J. Always a joy when a scrap built tool works and you know you not only built it but saved time and most importantly got to spend time in the shop with the really little man instead of the usual little MBTS 😆 keep up the great work DP 😁👍
Mike great looking reel! It was awesome seeing Gunner working in the shop, his interest is getting much better towards helping Dad! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
Greetings from No VT - Great build. I predict for years to come, and even when Gunnar is grown, he will mention this pipe spooler build he helped his dad with. My son, who is 31 and has both mechanical and nuclear engineering master degrees, will mention some project he helped me with as a kid; so obviously an afternoon helping dad makes an impression and is golden time for you both.
Alright “Gunner”...! that clean-up on the dozer looks great...! Good job...! Mike time spent with the 3’2” helper is great. I thank that “un-coiler” is gonna work out great, great video. Thank you sir.
DP Junior finishing his sentence like Dad. " Eh Yeah".... LOL Apple from the same tree for sure :) You need to make a shirt written " DIRT PERFECT JUNIOR" HEHE
Gunner is a good help for you Mike, cleaning the mud off the dozer! Hey he’s not camera shy brother, I imagine one day Gunner will probably have his own Utube channel! Mike, if you watch Derek on ViseGrip Garage his son Bradley has his own utube channel and he’s I think 8 or 9! lol I watch his channel too, it’s pretty cool! But anyway, I hope one day Gunner will probably be working with his dad operating equipment and have his own Utube channel like dad! Thanks for sharing Mike I enjoyed this video and all of them and it’s always good seeing Gunner, he’s a awesome little man brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
That was a great idea. Suggest you mount the eyelets on a swivel, that way they should just go to where they will work best, regardless of which way the tubing exits the roll. Also, it is great that you are getting Gunner involved when you can. He may choose a different path for his life but regardless, this time spent with dad doing this will give him valuable experience that will make some parts of his life easier.
Great shop project with your son, I have two sons and they helped in the shop when they were young, can’t help but learn something ,they needed a good bath by the end of the day. Great to see your helper . Thanks for the great information and videos stay safe
On your pipe guides, I think you going to want to redesign and use a pully with a swivel end hanging so it can move to ease the pressure on the pipe. A friction brake of some sort will be beneficial. Absolutely do not let the end of the pipe loose in the roll, it will cross up with the coils and get under some making it hard to untangle.
Hey DP it's always glad to see if father working with his son together that is so cool I used to a clean trick to my son I told him to shake the spray can to the ball quits rattling LOL thanks for Gary
When you change the angle on the guide maybe a high polish job on the inside of the guide circle would help. Also, a spring loaded pressure tab about 3 ' wide to keep the spool of pipe tight on on the spindle. That is such a time saver and frustration saver.
Cool video DP looks like gunner going to be out there on the job site real soon. I remember the first time taking my son to work to work twenty years later he still working with me and I'm blessed that we do . great memory with your son enjoy they grow up in a blink of a eye .I wish I video some of it 👍✌️😎👌🇺🇲
A little more cleaning on the dozer and he'll be ready for paint, lol!!! Great job spending quality time with the little guy, he will remember times like this. The only things I would do differently would be to put a ring around the out fringes to prevent the pipe from dropping and binding and make the guides on a swivel to allow a smoother flow from the spool.
Good thinking 99! Perhaps a friction brake inside the wheel to provide some drag. A rubber roller with a screw adjustment for pressure would do. Having painted it yellow, I was looking for the CAT sticker. Maybe weld a slightly larger loop onto a bearing face and mount it on the top of the outrigger so that the loop will self align, also some bracing for the outrigger. Glad to see the tooth cable/pipe layer working a treat. I see your method of laying out the pipe along the path as you go is taking out the tendency of the pipe to twist and perhaps kink. Nice day's work Mike, and good dad & son bonding, he seems like a great kid. He will always remember working with dad.
The build was cool and I'm sure pretty handy but, the best part was the 3'2" helper. That time spent with him was invaluable. Good job balancing work with family time. It will pay dividends later on. Stay safe fellas.
AMEN to that !!
Yep and the fact that he gave him a small tasks to help build confidence and initiative was awesome.
So very true
Bet that made Gunner proud that you trusted him to measure for you. Good self esteem boost. Was noticing him in the background while you welded the rebar on the rim going to town on the vice, LOL. The saddest part about a child is how their willingness to help goes down with age. By the teen years good luck finding most of them when there is work to be done. When they are young they want to help to be near. Gunner worked his butt off on that dozer making a mess. We won't tell him it it won't survive the next run though some wet earth. Gunner will always remember the time you two work together on these projects. Making great memories. The reel went from John Deer to Caterpillar, LOL. Aaron is going to be upset you messed up his floor again this time with paint🤣. The time you spend with both your kids is priceless.

Mini Mike on the camera LOL. Man oh man spitting image when it comes to his camera/video presentation! Awesome!
Little man’s not talking smack yet lol! But we’re gonna get the numbers up to 125,000.
It's really cool that you made it a Father-Son build. He will remember this day, many years to come. Great invention, great video and great content! Thanks Mike & Gunner! Lee
Nice to see my trailer hub and wheel idea worked. The rebar and base was all yours Mike. Big Thumbs Up! On a job well done.🤔👍
Cherish the time you spend with young Gunner. My earliest and fondest memories are times spent with my Father and my uncle on building sites in the Uk in the 70’s. Pre health and safety when common sense was in abundance learning to drive and operate JCB’s and dumpers at the age of 9 was a dream come true

Gunner is a good little helper, Dad projects are the best!
Cool concept. I would have gusseted the vertical post and side guides posts for support
same!
DITTO! 👏🏽👍🏼☺
Nice father/son build!! Then Gunner outshines you on the camera!! Way to go Gunner!! To top it off the tubing spool turned out great! Necessity is the mother of invention. Take care
If the spindle shears off . You could drill a hole in the top of that square tube and then sink it in the hole and weld it on the top and bottom around the spindle. That would give really good side shear support. Great idea to see come to fruition!
Gussets would do the trick on the spindle to prevent shearing.
The time in the shop with the kiddo is priceless. Looks like a great build.
You certainly gave that lad the right name there folks what a little trooper.
Nice job on the spooling device Mike 👍🏼
Greetings from a Scottish ex Soldier.
Awesome job Gunner, you're dad's BEST helper!
Neat idea, only suggestions I'd put forward would be lay a couple more beads of weld around the axle joint and increase the fillet size, you might be asking a bit much from just one bead.
Some sort of light brake on the inside of the wheel rim to stop it running on and un spooling when you stop.
And the guides need to be able to swivel with the pipe as it un spools, it might make for a smoother run.
Oh and Gunner needs a pay rise! 😁
I would also add a couple of gussets to the axle shaft. But what a great idea this is.
i was just checking to see if anyone would suggest a brake of some sort
+1 on the guides being able to pivot but overall pretty slick.
Sorry to disappoint you guys but it worked great
@@DirtPerfect I’m not disappointed at all. But for overall strength a couple gussets could add longevity to your design.
Awesome being able to work with Gunner in the shop!! Always the best working with young one to be able to teach them and be with them. Thank you again for great videos sir. 👍👍
Cool to see Gunner helping in the shop. Invaluable investment in him.
Almost as good a helper as mbts,great to see you and junior working together,that's what I always wanted with my dad,you are doing a great job,and Mrs is a great supporter
Memories being made! So very very very Valuable
That was GREAT that you got MBTS video all the work that Gunner did on the Bulldozer... Good job Gunner...
Loved how the new shop Forman took charge of getting Jerry’s dozer clean. Wonderful family stuff. Thank you for that. This is what prime time tv used to be. Hi from Texas
That was Gunner. I didn’t have my glasses on and thought it was MBTS. Lol. It’s great to see Gunner helping dad. I’m sure he loves it
NICE! Cool attachment mike. And gunny sweet job ! Mike I see him skipping school when he is older to work in the shop. Helping dear old dad. Build attachments. And turning wrenches with you!. Enjoy the time dad. They just don't last. And gunner great job on the 850 b. Nice job!
Gunner is always great on video DP and I like your ideas
Handy build…
More fun watching you and gunner both working on your own projects…
Brings back memories of working in the shop with my dad.
Great helper. Good video.
Nice project. The dozer is the cleanest it been since it was bought. Good job Gunter.
I know it's been said in the comments by I have to add my 2 cents, it's great to see Dad and Gunnar working together in the shop, great Video.
Little things that neither one of you will never forget , training the next dirt perfect, love the video
Fantastic job! and way to go Gunner... Taking some initiative and helping dad out too! Ron...
Awesome having Gunner help out in the shop
gunner you did great.nice job guys
Best part of the video is a son and dad working together. By the way my daughter loved working in the shop more than my son. My work days are over but working with my little ones are some of my very best memories. That's the way you do it. Love your channel.
Thanks
Cool dad making memories with your son🥰. Only one of my sons likes to help me when I’m working on my street buggy 😃. One is always better than none 🤷🏻♂️. See you on the next video DP. 👍🏼🤙🏼
I love that you included Gunner in this. It will be Awesome to watch them grow up❤
MBTS better get back to the shop! Gunner is after his job and may be more productive! Love how he helped out! Great build!
A father and son afternoon.... marvellous!!
You knew what you needed and made it work !!
Green paint was definitely not covering anything, yellow hid the lot !!
Enjoyed Gunners little segment, complete with " I got tired of doing it " nowt but the truth eh !!!! 🤣
Good job!! You're grooming the next generation... he's a great helper!!
Gunner is an excellent mechanic helper!
Thanks for sharing.
The apple does not fall far from the tree.. He loves the camera and can talk too (all good) Mr. Dirt Perfect.. That will be your replacement in a few short years.. My youngest grandkids are a bit older, still Papaw is there favorite, cause they get to play with big boy toy's (and get very spoiled) Ya need more video's with the kiddo's more often.. Thank you for sharing...
Definitely a cool video simply cause of the 3'2" helper. My 3 yr old has been out in the shop with me every time it's been safe since he was just over 1 yrs old. Not many things better than dad and son in the shop together doing cool things.
think its so great you bring your son out to help you , i had just one kid and was a girl and thought here everything about working on cars and trucks and haling equipment for oil well rids she is smarter then most of the men she knows now about motors and such also how to chain and bind equipment down / but so nice to see you and gummer working together something he will always remember . i know my father taught me all about motors and things and he is gone now but always remember him when doing some things he taught me .
I was going to say you need a loop around the bottom for the very reason you saw what can happen. but you did a great job building that pipe spool. as for the feed loops just weld them to a bearing hub so they can pivot based on direction. glad to see that job went great.
3’ 2” helper, great intro! If you tightened down the bearing in the hub would that act as a brake to slow the reel unrolling?
Hi guys, to help paint stick, remove dirt and sand what is being painted! LOL Mike. Have a great day.
Several proud dad moment in this one. Your gaining good help, he’s learning how to work. Very cool! Thanks for the up lift.
Thanks 👍
Nice to see you and Gunner in the shop together. Reminds me of the old days when my four boxes would be in the shop playing and Leaner , great times.
The best part of it all is spending time with Gunner,
Way to go Gunner. Cleaned that dozer pretty good.
Looked like that spool works great.
Can't wait to see videos.
Probably better you made your own. Designed for needs and as strong as you want it. Mabe you should Patten it. Way to go.
I think Herbybandit's on the right track. Some kind of adjustable fiction device to prevent the inertia of the wheel from freewheeling when you stop. For the feed guide take a look at the rollers where the air hose leaves your airline reel. Won't be long before that boy will be dirtying dozers not cleaning them!
Great Design. Great concept. may I suggest that when working with tubing (round or square) it is best practice to have or make "WEEP-HOLES." Purpose of the "WEEP-HOLES," is to allow the moisture that builds up, and turns into a small water puddle(s) and just continues to grow in size, without a place to leave (dissipate) the tubing over time. Method No.#-1, If your using say 2" in. square Tubing, on the bottom only have a 1.75" in long weld bead. Split the difference (approx. 1/8" in.) from each end. One side only is necessary. Method No.#-2, Drill a single hole, approx. 1/8" in. (0.125" in.) or a 3/16" in. (0.187" in.) close (as in approx 1" in. or less) to the welded area. I would argue for the larger 3/16" in hole. Allows more air flow to enter and leave (thus causing evaporation) the tubing. Always try to locate the "WEEP-HOLE," at the lowest point. Check out any tubing on car / equipment trailers, Lt. Dan etc. Those holes aren't there because somebody had some time to kill with a drill, drilling a hole.
Cool to see your father and son relationship DP I remember days when I was Young and used to work with my son great video
The best part of this video is father and son working together making memories that’s awesome
Thanks
Great job. Good to see your helper showing you how to. Also if you would have talked things over with the captain you would not have been questioning details. Lol
Great Job!!!!! A suggestion: the loop that sits at the edge, might work better if that loop pivots. (I know I am about a 1 1/2 years late in seeing this video for the first time, but that is what came to me when you will building it.)
I thought Aaron was the 3’2” helper. 😂. Good job Gunner. Keep being a good boy for Dad.
Nice work, I guess MBTS is rubbing off on Gunner, cleaning shop and taking care of the equipment, nicely done Gunner!! Can’t wait to see the videos with everything in action. Dad and son time is “priceless”!!!👍🇺🇸
Great concept and execution but the time with Gunner was incredible and invaluable.
It is great to see you working in the shop with your son good father and son time.
Nice work Gunner 👍👍👍. That turned out great. It’s always nice when you can build it yourself and save money. 👍👍👍
Great video. Nice to see you and Gunner working together. You guys have a great day.

Perfect finish to a Sunday night.
Hi Mike, if you put a tyre over the middle down to the wheel it may fit the middle of the coil and spin better.
Mike in UK
Before you know it, Gunner is going to take over your channel Mr. DP! He's quite the little helper!
I'm always amazed how you seem to know so much stuff and are able to turn your hand to anything!
A 3 piece suit and a penthouse office is not always the BEST answer ! The ability to visualize the finished product is a not-to-common gift nowadays !
The 3'2" helper is more effective than his helper :P He are cleaning stuff, have not seen anyone else doing that have seen a online stream and 2 videos/(1 MBTS ) before this and some one have a lot of excuses why some one have not cleaned. Some one is slacking with the Respirator when painting... So Gunner is the star in this video.
enough ranting
Suggestions for improvement
a hinge a smal axel a 75-90degree of angle rubber wheel and a spring on the inside of the rim to slow down the auto spool
or a hinge 1 inch plat steel bent to match inner part of rim and put a rubber mat on the steel and a spring
you take what you have and "KISS"
Nice video waiting for the next we know that you have a large pile of them for us.
I may have said it before Mike, but your ingenuity knows no bounds brilliant.
Thanks
FYI, some paint will be crap for awhile. A few paint manufacturers stopped making paint and started making hand sanitizer during the peak of Covid. Now they are hustling around trying to play catch up with the paint. The quality may be poor because of demand and little time to produce it. Great video Mike, that looks stronger than most of the ones I see.
I have gotten that paint years ago had the same luck ,, I use Rust-Oleum now never had a problem with there product ,,
just a thought on where the pipe go's threw the eye on the tube .. put a bearing on it so the eye can turn the direction your pulling .. might help ,, another thought put a rubber block to rub the rim if the pipe unrolls too fast before it comes off the rig .. was not there not sure if rim is spinning too fast .. great build ,, check the air pressure in that rim if you can get too the valve stem .. lol
So great to see Gunner out there helping you and learning early. Awesome affective build DP. Can't wait to see it in full action along with the Ripper doing its thing behind the 850J. Always a joy when a scrap built tool works and you know you not only built it but saved time and most importantly got to spend time in the shop with the really little man instead of the usual little MBTS 😆 keep up the great work DP 😁👍
Mike great looking reel! It was awesome seeing Gunner working in the shop, his interest is getting much better towards helping Dad! Thanks for sharing! Kevin
That's what we need people, luv it old school. Dad's school. As they said learns emm young ya build emm strong. Goods Aussie English eeehh. 👍👍👍
Greetings from No VT - Great build. I predict for years to come, and even when Gunnar is grown, he will mention this pipe spooler build he helped his dad with. My son, who is 31 and has both mechanical and nuclear engineering master degrees, will mention some project he helped me with as a kid; so obviously an afternoon helping dad makes an impression and is golden time for you both.
Alright “Gunner”...! that clean-up on the dozer looks great...! Good job...! Mike time spent with the 3’2” helper is great. I thank that “un-coiler” is gonna work out great, great video.
Thank you sir.
Great job Gunner helping Dad and good job explaining what you cleaned on the Dozer.
Nice job Mike with the de-coiler. Looks like it worked out good.
Love how you welded the ring onto the the longer pipe, and than skipped to it being on the correct one and you welding it to the skid. 😂👍
DP Junior finishing his sentence like Dad. " Eh Yeah".... LOL Apple from the same tree for sure :) You need to make a shirt written " DIRT PERFECT JUNIOR" HEHE
Everlast memories being made in the shop... Father and Son! Great home building values!
Great job Gunner and you Too Dad! Be safe!
Nice too see you to (mr and mini DP) in the shop working.. Nice job. Gretings from denmark.
Dad forgot a Big Thank You Gunner!!! Dad didn't do too bad either LOL! Nice Engineering Skill Mr. DP. Thank for sharing! God Bless!
Love your ability to visualize, design and fab items to streamline your work. Also am impressed with your ability to involve your 3' 2" assistant.
Thanks
Gunner is a good help for you Mike, cleaning the mud off the dozer! Hey he’s not camera shy brother, I imagine one day Gunner will probably have his own Utube channel! Mike, if you watch Derek on ViseGrip Garage his son Bradley has his own utube channel and he’s I think 8 or 9! lol I watch his channel too, it’s pretty cool! But anyway, I hope one day Gunner will probably be working with his dad operating equipment and have his own Utube channel like dad! Thanks for sharing Mike I enjoyed this video and all of them and it’s always good seeing Gunner, he’s a awesome little man brother! 👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸
That was a great idea. Suggest you mount the eyelets on a swivel, that way they should just go to where they will work best, regardless of which way the tubing exits the roll. Also, it is great that you are getting Gunner involved when you can. He may choose a different path for his life but regardless, this time spent with dad doing this will give him valuable experience that will make some parts of his life easier.
Great shop project with your son, I have two sons and they helped in the shop when they were young, can’t help but learn something ,they needed a good bath by the end of the day. Great to see your helper . Thanks for the great information and videos stay safe
On your pipe guides, I think you going to want to redesign and use a pully with a swivel end hanging so it can move to ease the pressure on the pipe. A friction brake of some sort will be beneficial.
Absolutely do not let the end of the pipe loose in the roll, it will cross up with the coils and get under some making it hard to untangle.
Hey DP it's always glad to see if father working with his son together that is so cool I used to a clean trick to my son I told him to shake the spray can to the ball quits rattling LOL thanks for Gary
When you change the angle on the guide maybe a high polish job on the inside of the guide circle would help. Also, a spring loaded pressure tab about 3 ' wide to keep the spool of pipe tight on on the spindle. That is such a time saver and frustration saver.
Cool video DP looks like gunner going to be out there on the job site real soon. I remember the first time taking my son to work to work twenty years later he still working with me and I'm blessed that we do . great memory with your son enjoy they grow up in a blink of a eye .I wish I video some of it 👍✌️😎👌🇺🇲
Love the family time. Gunner is going to make a great shop helper
A little more cleaning on the dozer and he'll be ready for paint, lol!!! Great job spending quality time with the little guy, he will remember times like this.
The only things I would do differently would be to put a ring around the out fringes to prevent the pipe from dropping and binding and make the guides on a swivel to allow a smoother flow from the spool.
Good thinking 99! Perhaps a friction brake inside the wheel to provide some drag. A rubber roller with a screw adjustment for pressure would do. Having painted it yellow, I was looking for the CAT sticker. Maybe weld a slightly larger loop onto a bearing face and mount it on the top of the outrigger so that the loop will self align, also some bracing for the outrigger. Glad to see the tooth cable/pipe layer working a treat. I see your method of laying out the pipe along the path as you go is taking out the tendency of the pipe to twist and perhaps kink. Nice day's work Mike, and good dad & son bonding, he seems like a great kid. He will always remember working with dad.
father and son can't beat that good video👍👍👍👍👍
Mike,...you are absolutely BRILLIANT!
Thanks
Way to go Gunner. I think the unroller will work great.
