- This video shows the PVC parts and construction details required to attach wheels and a axle to a PVC frame. If you want to see the actual assembly of all components, see my other video "DIY Beach Cart Update" at this link: • DIY Beach Cart - UPDATE .
For the design details of the cart featured at the beginning of the video, see my "DIY Beach Cart" video at this link: • DIY Beach Cart .
nice video. thanks for that. i love how you said: "if you aren't going to put weight on it you could simply do XYZ". that's my exact situation! going to follow your advice.
Here's how to perfectly center a hole in a PVC cap if you have a drill press. 1. clamp down a thick board (nominal 2x lumber is fine) to your drill press table. 2. drill a hole the same size as the outer diameter of the cap. (You may drill a hole slightly smaller as the domed cap will self-center in the hole.) 3. without moving your clamped board, change your drill to the axle-sized drill. 4. place the cap in the large hole and drill the axle hole.
So you showed us were to drill a hole well I was impressed.
Helpful video. I got distracted by your serious cooling fan... 3 bro!!! Lol. Thank you
The end caps can be turned over to drill the axial holes..put in a vice with hole up, eyeball center, dot with majic marker, with that, u can use a center punch to set center or start ur drill slowly to a point that it will track. Drilling the hole from the inside has a self tracking effect, even if its a tiny bit imperfect we're not talking Idy 500 speed here should work without the measuring & marking with a knife. Good Luck!
Here's what I did for tires, I had an worn out wheel barrow w/ dual 4.00x6" tubeless tires & 5/8" axial, tires measure 13"diam. I aired up tires & popped out the beads, then with the tires inflated, drill a small hole in tire sidewall big enough to fit in a spray insulation quill, 90 deg opposite that hole, i drill a larger hole, as i spray foam in from the bottom, it pushes air out the top hole, careful to keep the beads seated, fill foam till appears at top hole, stop, it will keep expanding. U can drill top hole in tread center on tire tops, it works for better for larger tires. U will need to top tire off periodically as foam settles...no flats, no mess...my Surf/Pier cart is 2 wheeled so useing the axial that came with the tires was a +.. I got 2 perks from this, my wife was happy to see another piece of junk go & I got a "free" set of no flat tires w/ wheels & axial! If ur wondering if foaming works, Ive used the foaming method for my 60hp tractor (front tires),3- riding lawn mowers, a Harbor Freight hand truck, all with great success. By the way, leave the schrader valve in place, tires won't fill up completely with it out. Ifu don't want to do the foam thing, Harbor Freight sells different sizes of "no flat" solid tires. Foam fill shld take 2 1/2 cans per tire, Good Luck!
You could torch a piece of metal and then melt it thru the cap too then drill
what did u use for end caps that you put the axl thru?
Thanks for sharing. Overall, helpful. But please consider using a stationary camera in your future videos. I literally couldn't "watch" it. I listened and checked in. Videos with this much jiter makes some people, including me, physically ill like motion sickness.
Have you noticed any wear in the PVC cap from the axle turning (friction)? Has it made the hole go out of round? Also, what beach tires did you use? I thought you used a 5/8” axle too correct?
Where did you purchase the wheels? I'm looking for good quality ones that will not rust when used in and around salt water.
Like this video but wish camera was steady....
love your videos
just to make sure what size is the pvc 1/4 inch?
Re do the video! Cant even watch 10 seconds and Im dizzy with soo much camera movement😮
Your like I am over engineering every thing. But if you use half inch all thread fro the axle there wouldn't be any flexion.
Wish I had a kart I'm going homeless an have no way to carry all my close
Wish you would show us. Too many words. I'm a visual learner.
