- In this video I am showing you how I built what is possibly is the easiest and best DIY pig waterer ever! Don't cut access holes in your barrels, or use those leaky bulkheads. Try this and you will never make them any other way.
In the video I mention using a 1 1/2 inch drill bit. That is wrong! I used a 1 1/4 inch drill bit

Now that I have moved my pigs several times since building these, I can attest that this method is pretty easy to drain by simply pulling out one of the nipples, and then shoving it back in when you are ready to refill. I have done this several times now, and the uniseal's are still holding strong!
I am a new subscriber to your channel, so I am not sure where you are located. I need to make one of these for both my pigs and my poultry so I can have heated water through winter. Can you suggest a safe submersible heater for this unit please and thank you.
@@Tiffycha1982 I am actually in Troy, Alabama. It doesn't really get cold enough here to need to use heaters. I have never had the water in these freeze. Last winter we had one cold snap where I needed to dump a little hot water on the nipples to get them flowing, but that was it. Sorry I can't provide more insight on heaters. I know they are out there, just never needed them..
@@WattsWayFarm I am in North Alabama. I am a lawyer also raising pigs.
What diameter are you pig nipples? I have piglet size (3/8"), and pig nipples (1/2"). No bulkhead is that small of an inner diameter.
Love this method! So easy to do. We had trouble finding barrels where I live, but found out that a Brute trash can is food-grade plastic! Your method worked perfectly with the trash can. Thank you!
So glad to hear that! I have since also added auto fill floats to my waters for very little $$. I made a video on that too.
Just now getting pigs for the first time. Watering was the one thing I hadn’t zeroed in on. Now I know I’ll be using your uni-bulkhead idea. Simple, clean, durable. Thanks for sharing.
Hope it works as well for you as it has for us. Please see my video description before you drill holes in your barrel to ensure you drill the right sized hole! Good luck!
Getting prepared for our first set of pigs. After watching numerous videos about these waterers yours looks like a winner. Amazon links were an awesome resource.
Quick added tip. If you cut the pvc pipe at an angle on the end you are passing thru the gasket. This will help start the pipe and you won’t have to need as much pressure to get past the gasket as a 90 degree cut would.
Thank you for sharing tips and details. Feeling confident this is something I could do myself
Thank you, i like the set up its informative detailed and down right creative. I'm gonna duplicate it. I appreciate you taking the time and sharing your cleverness.👍
Thanks for the video and links. A couple of my deer club members and I made our first corral trap, and we are thinking of adding a water system as well. This might be the perfect setup.
Thank you so much! I have watched so many videos, and THIS is the one I needed! God bless!
Glad you enjoy! Thanks for checking out my video.
Your method is easy to follow
Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it. thanks for the comment!
This is a very simple method.if I seen this video before now I wouldn't have spent so much on my farm.thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
I enjoyed the video. My waterer is working great.
I’m going to start raising pigs in the spring and am getting things ready now. Building a pen etc. I’m going to use this idea but someone commented that the one shortcoming is that sometimes they pull it out & the barrel empties. I’m going to work on a fix for that too. I think I have something that will work in mind
Great info. Learned some good pointers from you. Thanks for making this vid!!
Thx I'll be doing this this weekend
Drilled a 1-1/2” hole should have read the instructions
Found a 1 1/2 plug 4$ back in business Karen learned how to use it in about 10 seconds Best pig waterer I’ve seen thank you.
sorry about the wrong drill hole size. Wish there was way to edit the video after uploading. Glad you were able to make it work!
Do you happen to know the part number for the 1 1/2 uniseals or is it a given that the 3/4" pvc will fit inside? I did the same thing and got burned.. Thanks

Really enjoyed and picked up some great points from this video. You appeared to have solved several of the same things that have kept me from building a gravity fed pig nipple system. For instance - didn’t want to cut the barrels, still wanted good bulkheads and wanted some flexibility/movement allowed in the nipples. Great stuff. Really appreciate the follow up comment below, as well as the float add on video - I was concerned about the durability but you ha e put some of those concerns to ease as well. Thanks! New Sub here from not too far away - Hogansville, Ga.
thanks for the comments. These waterers really are working well for us.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I too do not like the idea of cutting open the top of the barrels, because then I had to figure out a lid; or purchase the barrels that have the snap rings to hold the lid on, but then those things like the rust. Excited to try this out, blessings.
Glad you like. Hope these work as well for you as they have for me. Please read the video description before drilling the hole in your barrel as I misspoke on the drill bit size in the video.
Great method to water the pigs. Thank you! I had to wrap a ratchet strap and hook around the nipple to prevent the pigs from pulling it out.
Try raising the barrel up. The nipples need to be just above shoulder level to the pig. We had a few that would pull out too. Once we raised them up, hasn’t happened since.
Very good delivery and description. Thanks for the links to the parts you used. Tim in northern TN
Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope it was helpful.
@@WattsWayFarm my pigs must be slow learners…pig nipple waterer has been in their pen for several days and no use even with peanut butter smeared on it. 😩
@@CliffsideStables we had something similar happen once with a small batch of feeder pigs we purchased. My wife took a stick and put peanut butter on the end of it. Stuck it in the pigs face and got them eating off it. Then once they started chasing the stick with the peanut butter on it, she guided them over to the waterer where the nipple was with the peanut butter on it, and they quickly found it, and were drinking good from the nipple from that point on!
Thank you for the video. I copied this system and it works well enough. The issue I am having with it is my pigs keep pulling the pipes completely out of the barrel causing the water to drain out. Also lost one of the uniseals in the mud after the pigs pulled it out and had to purchase another. Not really that big a deal but I am now looking for a way to better secure the nipples and pipes so that I am not constantly having to repair and refill it.
We had this same issue early on. For us, turned out that the solution was to raise the barrell up more. If the nipple is placed slightly above shoulder level and the pig has to reach up to drink, they seem to not pull it out. And as a bonus, it seems to not create as much of a wallow opportunity at the base of the waterer due to the water running more down the pigs throats and not out of their mouths and onto the ground. Maybe this will work for you?
I sure like this ideal on pig water am going to build one or to thank you so much michael bender from east texas thanks
HOLLY COW ! ! That is Freaking Brilliant. I am going to try this with a 275 gallon Tot.
You wont be disappointed. But make sure you use the right sized drill bit! In the video I mention using a 1 1/2 inch drill bit. That is wrong! I used a 1 1/4 inch drill bit.
YEH ; I I got that 1-1/4 from your description. The ONLY hole saw size I did not have. Ha Ha. I did a 55 Gallon drum first. to check it out. Worked 20 Times better than I thought. Going to try it out on 275 Tot next. YOU are the MAN. I put some sponge in the 3/4" pipe to make sure to filter out any plastic chips that might be in the drum..
That’s a great idea on the sponge. I think I’ll do that too. That’s for the great idea!
Greetings from Jamaica, thanks.
Welcome!
Thanks, a lot Just what I'm, looking for!!!!
Hope it works good for you.
These were just the instructions we needed! Raising feeder pigs for the first time, and the hose isn’t conveniently located near their pasture, so I think this will save a lot of time.
Thanks for the comment! I think your will like this solution. But make sure you use the right sized drill bit! In the video I mention using a 1 1/2 inch drill bit. That is wrong! I used a 1 1/4 inch drill bit.
How is it working for you?
Same. I am about to attempt this!
Great video! Would it also work to use the same 55 gallon drum but made out of metal? I recently turned all of my plastic 55 gallon drums into planters. Thanks so much for the brilliant video!
Great option. I think it does depend on the pig though. My sow loves it and fully understood the assignment.
However, our boar has gone through 2 bulkheads in like a month. He just doesn’t get to drink out of it instead of mess with it until you break it to get water out.
This is excellent-also works very well on the 5 gal water jugs. My pigs knocked it off the cinder block after a day or 2. Need to put ratchet strap on today!! Thank you!!
The ratchet straps are key I think. We have also used this on empty protein buckets for a sow farrowing pen.
"I've got a farming degree from UA-cam". BAHAHAHA!! Me too! Great video, thank you for all the good tips. This looks like an awesome set up that should work well for us. I'm ready to try this for my pig and goats. Hope the goats are smart enough to figure out how to use the water nipples.
Note to self, know which size your using to drill out the hole in tank based on the smart guy laying out all his equiptment on a table.. Thanks buddy, your invaluable and by all means, keeping making videos. SMFH
Sounds like you missed where in the video title I put, "Read Description Before Drilling!", or in the video description I put, "In the video I mention using a 1 1/2 inch drill bit. That is wrong! I used a 1 1/4 inch drill bit", and the about 50 comments that mention this too. I am very sorry about that. I wish there was a way to go back and edit an already uploaded video.
also check the size chart on this link. if you have already drilled holes, you can just buy a larger uniseal gasket based on the size hole you drilled:
www.aussieglobe.com/34-Uniseal-U075.html
fantastic lesstime ,chiper materiis awow
So easy!
I know right! Surprised there aren’t more videos out there with this.
Now what am I supposed to do with 1 1/2” holes? Thanks!
I used a different style of water tank, that has spots on the wall that curve inwards. That was optimal height for the nipples, and they leak horribly. Make sure you use a smooth walled containers!
Good feedback. Thanks for sharing.
So we started building it today and didn’t notice the written note about the wrong hole saw size. User beware it’s a 1 1/4”’hole. We now own a barrel with 3 (2.5”) holes in it. Any ideas what we can use it for? 😮
yep ibc tote here I come thank you sir
Based upon this video, I ordered these parts and made this for my boar and sow waterer. So far so good (thye are about 420lbs & 370lbs). They suck and chew pretty hard, but the uniseal seems to be holding the pvc pipe in place. I was concerned that the boar would pull it out but first week is holding strong. The flexibility of the uniseal, like yer man says in the video is THE secret ingredient. Every time I tried these nipple waterers, my hogs have bent them, broke them and pulled them out. I will make one for the feeders this week, but wanted to the hard one first. IF it holds for the boar, it will be easy for the feeders (half the size & weight when full grown). I'd add photos but I don't see a way to do that here. I ratchet-strapped the barrel to t-posts atop two layers of cinder blocks, on my side of the hog panels with 6" pvc pipes extending into the pen. THANK YOU for this video!!! this is a game changer if it holds.
Yer man's a genius. Please keep posting your ideas for "pig farmers for dummies" like me. Keep it simple like. Now, I need a way to keep the water from freezing during Michigan winter. Let me know what you're doing.
Drop an aquarium heater in it!
What size hole do you drill 11/2 inch hole is to big I screwed up my drum
People are not smart. You can add text to a video once it is posted. It is really pretty easy, Thanks for the video.
I've got 5 50lb piglets, a 400lb sow and bigger boar. I just got the parts to put the nipples directly into the barrel, it the pvc pipe necessary? The adults will be culled and frozen soon since they eat so much
I love this and it was an easy build, BUT my pigs (4 berks) keep pulling the PVC out and draining the barrel. Any tips? I have a few ideas to modify it, but wasn't sure if you've run into this.
This happened to me too
Based on the posting date, you've had at least one winter. How did your solution fair?
Great video. I’m having trouble locating a 3/4 smooth to 1/2 threaded connector. Do you have the part number for the Lowe’s part? Thank you
I actually need to make another of these. Give me a couple of days to get by my local Lowes where I got them initially and see what I can get.
That would be very helpful, thank you

Well laid out and easy to follow. Unfortunately, my pigs keep pulling the pipe out of the barrel.
I had the same issue but if you drill a hole in the pipe behind the uniseal and put a pin through the hole it will prevent them from pulling it out
what is the size of the screw in on the pvc pipe. im looking on amazon and all i see for the pig nipple is 1/2 in.
The threads are 1/2” that I use.
Saw this video and been looking for a good way to water my pigs. They tip there water bowl out and it’s a lot of work to get them water again. This may be a stupid question. I have two pet pigs will they adapt to this pig nipples. If so I got barrels at work and I love to build them a water tank like this. Would be easier for me. Also will it give them enough water they need. Sorry for the long question
I think they will adjust to it very quickly. With my new batch of piglets I just got, I put a small dab of peanut butter on each nipple to ensure the little guys would find and use it, but I don't even think that is really necessary. Those guys are just really smart and figure it out. As far as giving them enough water, I think yes. No problem there either. The pigs simply stand there and drink their fill. Those nipples do have adjustable flow rates though if you want them to get more.
Check the size of your drill bit if you build this. I misspoke in my video when I said 1 1/2 in hole. I should have said 1 1/4 inch hole.
I'm only getting two piglets, so I'm thinking only one nipple will suffice. I'm thinking I should put three at different heights as they grow like you suggested some one did.
Sounds like a good plan!
I think I'm going to have to have water barrel up off the ground otherwise I'll have a nipple way up at the top as they grow
I built this one exactly as you have in the video and was very pleased with it for quite a while. However I now have a pig that is pulling the whole thing out. Went out this morning and she had pulled out 2 of the three. Still can't find one of them. Every time she does this, which has been three times now, I can't find the rubber grommet. Have you had any pigs do this with your set up and did you find something to fix the problem? Thanks for the video and any thoughts you can provide. I think I may have to go with a bulkhead for this pig.
Sorry, I just read your solution down below. I'll try raising the barrel to shoulder height. Thanks!
@@frederickmoyer6793 Did raising the barrel work? Thanks.
@@bradlikescake It worked for my boar and barrow, but my gilts kept pulling them out.
Try adjusting the flow. My feeders kept pulling out some new nipples until I opened them up a little and gave a bit more water flow.
I ordered all the stuff in ur parts list an built two different drums. They bothe lasted not even a week an the pigs pulled the nipples right off the drum
These worked for the first few weeks with my pigs then they figured out how to pull the pipes right out of the gaskets. I have used industrial adhesive to attempt to glue them in but they are so strong they pulled the pipe and adhesive 😢
Believe it or not, the hardest part of this whole waterer is finding a 3/4' smooth to 1/2" threaded PVC reducer. I've been to Lowe's and an irrigation store and nothing. I can put 2 different parts together which just makes the nipple bulky but I'm gonna choose to keep looking.
Wow that sucks. Guess I like my local Lowe’s a little better. They had it in stock. Before you buy a drill bit, please check out the video description. I misspoke on the size in my video.
@@WattsWayFarm Thank you, I did happen to catch that. No problem but thanks for the heads up. Good video!
@wattswayfarm would you happen to have a lowe's link for the reducer? I'm having a hard time finding it too! Or a link for anywhere that has it? I'm not quite sure if what I'm seeing is correct when I look. Thanks!
Hey Scott - great video, I purchased the classic bulk head and then realized i would have to cut a hole in top of my blue barrel but dont want to. So your solution is perfect. QUICK question. On the amazon link for the 3/4 uniseals it says you should use a 1 1/4 hole saw drill bit with 3/4 uniseals. I believe in the video you said you used a 1 1/2in hole saw. Let me know what you think? Thank you!
I just went to my tool box and got the hole saw drill bit I used and my tape measure. It is definitely the 1 1/4 inch drill bit. If I said 1 1/2 in the video, I misspoke. Sorry about that! Thanks for keeping me on my toes!
@@WattsWayFarm Thanks so much for the response. No problem at all! Hopefully i have that size. Ill report back how it goes. Waiting for the uniseals from amazon. I am in Utah on 7 acres and just got our first two feeder pigs ever. Learning as we go!
@@gobigacres I have another video on the DIY pig feeder I built. You might find some value there too! Good lukck!
1.5 inch hole is to big for a 3/4" uni-seal. Learned that the hard way.
Sorry about that! A bigger piece of PVC with a reducer to the nipple size would work too for a cheap fix
how do you adjust the water flow on the nipple?
With these style pig nipples, adjusting the flow is kind of a pain, but once you figure out the setting you want, you only have to do it once. Short version is that on the opposite side of the nipple from where the pig drinks is a little disk you loosen to increase flow and tighten to decrease it.
We just something like this together.
The nipples only dribble a little water out.
Are there nipples that flow better?
I am guessing the one we used is intended for use on pressurized water.
On the the nipples I use, you can adjust the flow. Kind of a pain to do as you have to take the nipple out. But on mine, there is a little black ring that you loosen to increase the flow.
I just threaded the nipples directly to the barrel. I’m guessing this is prone to leaking eventually?
Your pigs look great! What kind of pigs are they? Large Blacks?
Thanks for the kind words. We did run a batch of Large Black / Duroc’s, but up until recently we mostly were raising Mulefoots.
Do you have trouble with coyotes
Not sure if this has happened to anyone else, but I tried this method and my pigs are actually able to pull the entire nipple and pvc pipe piece out of the barrel completely. Draining all the water. I even tried epoxying it in and they still pulled it out. I had to change to a different method.
This actually happened to me too. I fixed it by simply raising the barrels up so that the nipples were slightly above shoulder level on the pig. If they have to reach for it that seem to not be able to pull it out. I am using these water barrels on my board, my t4 sows and all my batches of feeders. Try raising it up and see if that helps!
Where did you order speed rite energizer from?
I ordered this from Redtone Supply: www.redstonesupply.com/
Use dish soap to make smooth to plugin.
Wear can you get the uniseal at what store
I order them from Amazon
R u sure u used 1 1/2 holesaw to drill out the whole? I have drilled out 2 different barrels with 2 different 1 1/2 holesaw bits and the seal just falls out! I’m thinking it’s a 1 inch..
Ya, sorry about that. I misspoke in the video. In the video I mention using a 1 1/2 inch drill bit. That is wrong! I used a 1 1/4 inch drill bit. I tried to add a warning in the video title and description to help folks catch this.
This is my first time ever having pigs. I am using this system. The only problem I'm having is that the pigs are pulling the pvc pipe out and draining it.
Make the pipes short
Hi! I found this video very interesting and helpful. Thanks for putting it together. I'm trying to start a small farm myself and documenting some of it with videos -- I just found your channel looking for pig waterer ideas.
Glad it was helpful! It you decide to make one of these, please read the description before you start drilling, I misspoke in the video and said the wrong size drill bit for the hole.
@@WattsWayFarm I saw that in the description. No problem! Thanks for the warning though!
Needs to be 1 1/4 hole for it to work correctly. Now I need to go bigger to mske it work and order bigger uniseal. 1 1/2 hole is too big for a 3/4 uniseal to plug. Pvc/uniseal falls right out.
Question to anyone.... how would you clean this though??
It being the color of blue it should resist growing of algae.
Flush chlorine thru it
I used the exact same set up as you here, and mine still leaks! I don't know what I'm doing wrong 😕
Did you see in his description where he said the wrong size drill bit? He said 1 and half inch but meant 1 and quarter inch.
@AncientEnergyEyesOpen yes I did see that. The only thing I really did different was using a spade bit vs the hole saw bit he used
@davemoore705 I haven't made mine yet, so I don't have any real answers. I just noticed his comment about the wrong bit size and was glad I did before I built it. Can you tell where it's leaking from? If you figure out the issue..I would love feedback from you for my build.
How is this working? Roll Tide?
It is actually working great. I move my pigs every week or so, and another good aspect of this build is how easy it is to drain these waterers. I pull out one of the nipples and it drains super easy. (War Eagle!!)
@@WattsWayFarm AHHHH you had up until War Eagle. jk Thanks
Been building waterers for several years. your process is still complicated and expensive. Drill your hole, heat barrel use bolt with same thread as nipple. Thread using bolt. Remove bolt, crew in nipples done. You can also us same process and add a drain valve at bottom. 15-20 min done and no glue ot tape.
🚨You need to add a disclaimer to the video so nobody else drills 1 1/2 just to come back and find out you screwed me out of a drum drilling the wrong size!🚨

Pig pulled it out on the first day. Live and learn.
Wow! That is some pig! Sorry this didn't work for you. I have been using these for close to a year now and have 3 different batches of pigs using them right now including my breeder sow's and boar and have only have had that happen to me once (just a few weeks ago my boar pulled it out). Now every once in a while, we do have to push to push them back in where the pigs have pulled them out a few inches The pigs do like giving them a work out, but that is one of the things I like about this solution. I figured if I went with the rigid bulkhead approach, they would break them off...
Had a boar start pulling nipple out. Raised the entire barrel up a little more with cement blocks and fixed the issue. No more pulling it out. The nipple needs to be slightly above shoulder level on the pig. Maybe this will help you too!
Wish I would’ve read the comments before I drilled my barrel with a inch and a half bit !
Sorry. Also put it in the title and in the video description. I think you can get a bigger uniseal and it will still work.
@@WattsWayFarm My oversight entirely. Barrels are cheap.

1.5” hole was too big for the compression seals
Alright, so as the owner of hyper destructive pigs… drill a hole through the PVC pipe inside the barrel close to the seals. Run some stout wire through those holes and link the pvc together to keep the pigs from pulling out pipes and wrecking the seals. Took my pigs less than 48 hours to destroy this design as is.
I wonder if this would work with goats. The goats can ram their horns into the barrel. :(
I'm going to have to be a bearer of bad news. I did make 2 barrels in this fashion, using the gaskets. Both had 4 nipples. Almost every gasket leaked. I used silicone to glue them in, but found that my pigs were actually pulling the nipple through the hole and out of the barrel. Not only did the pigs abuse it, the goats would hit them, causing the gasket to leak even more. I have built these types of waterers with secure nuts and washers on both sides, holding them tightly in place, in the past. These lasted for years. But this model just can't hold up to the abuse. Too much water loss. Wasted 2 barrels with this idea. Hoping I can come up with a new idea to use what is there, and securely get everything attached. Great idea. But it just doesn't work.
Sorry it didn’t work for you. We have many of these in production right now. Use it for our breeding stock and our feeders. Works pretty good for us. We do occasionally have to replace a seal, but it is rare. Works good for us.
Ok my pigs keep grabbing them and pulling them out of the drum and draining thr water lol heeellllpppp
How high up are the nipples? I have found with mine that if they are not a few inches above shoulder level on the pig, they can pull them out. Check out the 12:40 mark on this video I just uploaded to see how high mine are up for my breeder stock:
ua-cam.com/video/DpQq29i90o8/v-deo.html
@@WattsWayFarm mine are at 3 different heights
@@basikkilla1 are they pulling out the lower ones or the ones that are below shoulder level on the pig?
@@WattsWayFarm above shoulder
@@basikkilla1 That's weird. Not sure why they aren't working for you. I have 4 of these out right now, watering over 35 pigs. And I am about to build some more this weekend. The only time mine have pulled them out has always been when the nipples were too low. Raising them up has fixed it every time.
I thought you said no holes get to the point you just go on and on
Thank you for the feedback
Your gonna have to clean out barrel eventually
If you have slow internet start watching at 18 minutes.
:)
Don’t drill 1 1/2” hole it should be 1 1/4
Ya, sorry about that. I misspoke in the video. That's why I put, "Read Description Before Drilling" in the title, and put the correct drill size in the description. Thanks for the comment. Maybe someone will see it before drilling the wrong sized hole.
looks like holes in thatbarrels to me . glasses need cleaning i guess .
My pigs just pull them out
Is there a reason why you didn't just use half inch PVC with a half inch PVC female adapter to connect the nipples into?
Also have you thought about welding a frame stand that would hold the tank up off the ground instead of using cinder blocks? Seems like that would be a good way to make it lighter and easier to move around.
Hey bro make sure you give out the right info in your videos, just ruined a 30$ 60gal barrel due to you saying 1 1/2 hole saw:... definitely the wrong size, way to big, I’m pissed. Can barely find food grade barrels around me and I get one this morning and now it’s trashed, thanks for nothing
Sorry my friend. I did put this correction in the video description, and in the comments, and if you had captions turned on, I put it in big letters across the screen. UA-cam won’t let you (in any way I know) to go back and edit a video after it is uploaded. Sorry again.
Had the same issue but made it work. Just pry the unideal gasket halfway over the outside of the 3/4 pvc adaptor with a flathead screwdriver. Twist the uniseal gasket into the hole in the barrel. Then tap on the end of the nipple with a rubber mallet until the whole assembly snugs up into the gasket. The gasket will seal the outside diameter of the pvc adapter to the 1 and 1/2 " hole.
@@beththiel6022 great feedback. thanks for sharing!

Sorry. I know I can be a bit long winded. Not that I am expert now, but this was only the 7th video I had ever done. And was 12 days after I started this UA-cam channel. In the year and half since this video, I think, maybe I am a little better now??? I have learned a lot since I started this channel; first and foremost, that to me, making UA-cam videos' aren't as easy as I thought they would be. Thanks for checking out my video and taking the time to leave a comment. I hope you found something useful in this video and will subscribe to my channel and follow along for more! Thanks again!
Would this work on a 5 gallon bucket? Or would it change what rubber grommets you'd use?
@@basikkilla1... probably wouldn't seal properly due to the curvature.
Plus a five gallon bucket too easy to knock over. OK, I'm sure you could figure out a way to secure it but it's pretty small. They'd suck it dry quickly.
Talking to much not enough showing half the video is youtalking
Sorry about that. This was one of my earlier videos. Not that I am an expert by any means now, but I do think I have gotten a little better. Hope you will check out some more of my videos.
But you cut a hole. Also, too much talking about nothing.
The hole size is incorrect at 1.5! The seal calls for 1.25. Just ruined a barrel!! Fix your video or remove it
Sorry my friend. I did put this correction in the video description, and in the comments, and if you had captions turned on, I put it in big letters across the screen. UA-cam won’t let you (in any way I know) to go back and edit a video after it is uploaded. Sorry again
This is a very simple method.if I seen this video before now I wouldn't have spent so much on my farm.thank you for sharing
Glad it was helpful!
