I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
It's good option also to me. Thanks for that comment Shantelle
Awesome instructions Shantelle!
It's so obvious you're a bot for the scam.
BPA free container :)
Nice introduction to gourds!
Very useful. Thanks!
When do you boil the gourd? In the dry state or fresh off the vine?
I don't know I did it dry and is good
Very nice
Boiling a gourd? I've been growing gourds for 10 years now. I never knew that. I'll have to try it this year.
ElGatoLoco698 do you have any videos on how you get the gourd to a useful state?
Wow
Great video, Thanks for taking the time.
awesome informative video!!!!
Cool. What would you do if say you wanted to seal it. I've heard rubbing beeswax on it, and using melted beeswax for the inside is a way. Then you heat it to seal it in. Would you suggest that, something else or nothing at all?
Thats one way I know of or If you made pine pitch, with charcoal and sap only (no scat) you could probably line the inside and it might even actually help to kill bacteria, as both charcoal and sap do.
do you boil it when its green and fresh off the plant ? or do you let it dry out?
i have never had luck letting them just dry out, they crack or rot
got any tips ?
Excellent~
verry nice Video best wishes from switzerland Guido
What do you think about perhaps using a different tool to scrape the inside? Perhaps something sharp spoon shaped, or hooked like the Mocotaugan? Time efficiency is valuable too.
If you are making these at home bend the tip of a butter knife for scraping. For smoothing out the inside take a j-hook (used in garages for hanging objects) and glue on a long thin strip of 60 grit sand paper.
You sound like a young nicholas cage
Hey Martin, great video!!! WHen boiling the gourd does the water need to get into the inside of the gourd? I have like 200 gourds that I have not used because I didn't know the boiling technique. Thanks!!!
If the seeds are already rattling is the gourd ready to construct?
you boiled that gourd befor cutting a hole in it? mine exploded and sprayed me with boiling hot water
I just boiled it after I cut it
When you say you boil the gourd, do you boil it when the gourd is still green or you boil it after you cure it by drying it? I have a gourd which I had left curing for a 18 months and although it is dried, there are small cracks at the bottom of the gourd. Please enlighten me so that the next gourd I have will be hard enough to be a water container or useful like the one you had shown on this video
Cool stuff :)
Could you make a video on preparing the gourd for a container/canteen. I know this one does the inside cleaning, but you said something about boiling and I would like to know how that is done.
Can you use hot water in these gourd containers?
How long and at what temp do you boil this
What kind of gourd are you using?
Great vid ive actually been wondering how to do that how did u do the video editing of this video
If dry, do you need to boil it?
How to dry these bottle guards for making water containers.whether it is to dry in shade or in sunshine?and how many days leave to dry?
boiling to make it hard shelled? id never have thought. is there an explanation on how it does that.?
new sub
+CAT G.Blondecat Thank you for subscribing. Yes, some of the gourds are soft right off the plant. boiling heats the shell and becomes hard. It also loosens up the material on the inside.
+Primitive Lifeways What kind of gords are the where do you get them?
+Duane freeman look up bottle gourds on eBay I just ordered caveman bottle gourd seeds
joseph roszell Thanks, I hadn't thought of that :)
Did you cut off a limb from a cedar tree and carve it down, or was the more to that plug? If the plug is dry when you cut to fit the mouth of the gourd, does it swell when the gourd is used as a water container? Can the innards of the dried gourd (what you scrape out) be used as tinder for starting fires as well - is there a use for it?
Did you save seeds.
the gourds are free from bacteria and fungi as long as they are dried? I plan to make a water bottle.
What plant is the gourd from?
can you boil water inside the gourd for purification using hot rocks?
It Will become soft so be careful with that
Lemon juice, tea tree, peppermint can sanitize
Really groovy. Did you grow that gourd? What is the variety? I grew some bottle, birdhouse and other gourds but the shells aren't nearly that thick. Would you boil a dried gourd (dried properly on the vine until the seeds rattle around inside)? Do I have that right? Sorry for all the questions, thanks for posting this fun vid.
You dont have to boil. Just let them dry out for a year. They get really hard as they age.
If you made pine pitch, with charcoal and sap only (no scat) you could probably line the inside and it might even actually help to kill bacteria, as both charcoal and sap do.
How would you make it water tight so you could carry some liquid?
Bees wax or.... If you made pine pitch, with charcoal and sap only (no scat) you could probably line the inside and it might even actually help to kill bacteria, as both charcoal and sap do.
how long do i boil it to make a gourd
30 minutes
I check a lot of woodworking handbooks. These one from woodprix are the best.
duse the heat kill the seeds???
How you make a Gourd Bomb ?? ;-)

Has anyone other than OP tried this? Did not work for me.
I can make it myself. Just got instructions from woodprix website and I'm ready for do it :D
what would the native americans use to clean it out with instead
I know some of the Cahuilla elders used to use crushed obsidian flakes and sand to clean it out. They would fill the gourd up and swish it around until the material loosened up.
kool thanks for the info
+Primitive Lifeways you should come to santa cruz california there are some great wild reserves
+roy l Cool*
can't you just leave it in the sun to harden?
+randomhalofan292 If you do that the sun will pull the moisture from the gourd hardening it, but in the proccess it will crack it. The key to getting it right is to provide moisture while hardening it and boiling it is perfect for that.
thanks for the info, I am going to grow my first gourds and make a water bottle and maybe even a vase.
nathan
Will it prevent mold from growing on them?
randomhalofan292 I'm a year late but. Drying gourds is usually done by leaving it in a cool dry place for a year. It would get moldy on the outside but people like that because it gives the gourd different colored spots and most people like that design

this is painful to watch...
