This tip was correct, and it worked for the electrical conduit, worked PERFECTLY. I knew I was going to mess up, so I bought 7 EMTs instead of 5, and practiced on two. So my first two were all caddy-wompus, but I tested your theory with the extras and it worked perfectly, so then I did it live on the 4 actual ones for the tractor and I made perfect bends. You're awesome. Subscribed and liked. May the Lord Jesus bless you and keep you always, under the shadow of His wings.
I am an electrician, I have been bending conduit for many years. I know electrician that could never bend conduit as good as you did. Great job on that and the whole build !
Thanks for this video. Glad you posted it. It is certainty helpful. We know filming and editing takes time and we appreciated this effort. Saved this video for reference once we get to where you guys are in the journey.
Can't be said enough. Looks like too many people are afraid of giving a honest review. You can sense hesitation or reservation sometimes but more often than not people work around the issues and five a 5-star review and recommendation...
You’re welcome! If I’m making a video I want to be transparent even if I look silly. 😆 I’m hoping there are others than can find help from this imperfect person. ❤️
Good job! I've built a few of these. The half lap joints add a lot of time to the project. I used a table saw with a dado blade. I also struggled with the conduit. I ended up cutting it and using 45 degree connectors. A little more money but worth it for me. Hardware cloth everywhere for me.
That was a great build. I've got ten black australorps that I have living in a 100sqft dog kennel with a henhouse built in,but I'm wanting to try some cornish cross meat birds and I think this would be a great way to keep 25 birds moving around my yard for 4 or 5 weeks til it's time for processing.
Great video!!! Great job, im glad you showed the nest box and roosting options.. I'm definitely going to do that.. I didn't build mine on flat ground as I should have.. I'm having trouble squaring the bottom now.. how much wood should extend from all four bottom angles??. Please help..
Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! I was losing my mind trying to get the conduit bent so that both sides were even. After multiple attempts, trying different offsets, calculating things, it still didn't work. Your suggestion worked perfectly! You made my day and restored my sanity (or what little I have left). Great video overall, thank you again!!!
So glad to hear that. I want to make another tractor and if I ever get around to it I will have to rewatch my own video because I don’t even remember how I did it. So glad it helped. ❤
Thanks for this. I just finished building one of these. The plans were great, until you get to the door. Never did figure out how it was supposed to work, I ended up lap jointing the four corners of door and top two corners of the frame instead of the 45 brackets.
Great video! Which size of cart wheels did you use? I only find size 8 inches and 10 inches but not 9 inches If I can only use those for which size you recommend?
The plans are mediocre at best ! Stress free sure isn’t in the building of the chicken tractor! He says follow the pictures and that doesn’t help! For the price he is charging for the plans he really needs to redo them! Im no beginner carpenter by any means but these plans need serious work! Glad you explained it more 👍🏼

Thanks for sharing. The blooper at the end is so me. 🙂

Your bending part very helpful
Wow. Amazing! You gave me the confidence to jump in. 😉
I love this chicken tractor! You did a wonderful job !

I wonder if the lids that were on those containers could be cut and snapped back on?

Nice greg great job

If I can only use those for which size you recommend?
Great video. You did a fine job. How long is that tractor?
how do you set the circular saw to a depth?

Don't half lap the front or rear 2x4, if the front or rear door catch on a rock or root; it is a failure point.
The arrow goes on the line.
How many days did it take to build it?

When I got it up my board was taller than 8 wanted
. my board was taller than I wanted
The half lap joints should be left to the pros. Suscovich is wrong to recommend them.
Glue will help your joints stay strong and tight
