I have been follow both of you, great seeing you collaborate on this project, great content. Seems like this is something that is happening a-lot on youtube, Lumnah Acres and Ken's Carpentry, just finished their collaboration.
Waldo seems like a total boss. I love how this makes it look like making a plow from scratch is easy. I'm pretty sure it's not. Given the cost of materials right now, I don't even wanna know. Maybe I do. Great work guys! Subbed to waldo.
When you are making your back braces, stack all six iron on each other, clamp them tight, spot weld in 5or6 places to hold them. Then drill all the holes at once. Invest in a couple larger bits ( different sizes ) drilling in stages to fix you tubing. A lot easier, precise and faster than die grinding. When cutting angle iron, place in saw with V upside down, start cutting on the 90* corner, cuts much faster. Same with square tubing if you have good way hold it. Good looking plow!
I built one a year ago from accumulated scrap. Fits into a 2" receiver hitch. Front receivers are available pretty cheap. Makes installation a 1 point hookup. The lift on mine is a 12v winch. Makes the plow float on the ground. I used the shell from a pressure tank for the face of the plow. Fab hint.... scraps of sheet goods make excellent templates for multiple parts and goods guides for straight cuts with plasma. Wood patterns last for several 10s of parts before they need replacing.
Excellent video! It makes me feel better about spending $2k for my plow. A lot of work, material, tools,and skill. Looking forward to seeing it in operation. Vt. is overdo for storm.
Fun truck... I use CAD to design the flat part, then I use CAD to make a template with a 1/8" offset to account for the plasma torch radius. I make the template from 1/4" plywood of any kind, and then just use the template as a guide. Voila, all parts nearly exactly the same, no rough edges from my shakey hands... Soak the plywood in water for a few seconds between parts if you have a lot of them to do or it gets burnt... :)
In the airline world, we have a lot of tools and materials at our disposal for home projects. The saying is, "Why would I buy it for a hundred when I can make it at work for a thousand?" For some reason you guys reminded me of that saying.
Awesome job, especially considering that most of it was cut free-hand using "CAD" technology, although I would have sought out somebody with a CNC plasma or laser for the contoured parts. Love the creative method of forming the blade without a rolling machine.
Seen some welded from 55 gallon drums cut in half, I personally made one eons ago from 2 old push shovels for the lawn tractor. I guess with materials and tooling/ welder, anything can be made..
Nice job on the plow! Now if it were me I would of used stainless steel or a steel alloy because stainless doesn’t rust out as fast and is usually stronger when combined with other metals
You want a certain amount of slop or play in the pivot points for the plow blade and angling cylinders not only for terrain following but for leveling the blade to contact the ground when it is angled.
Looking good. I think you might have problems without a folding cutting edge. I would imagine that it could auger into the ground and create quite the impact.
Good Job Buddy, I like it, I live in Mexico don't know where you wanna go I live in Merida and Izamal at the Yucatan Peninsula, so would be nice to meet you!
Wow, I really liked that video. You guys have very good fabricating skills. I have a homemade one. Fixed, no trip springs. 6 feet wide by around 21 in tall. I find it ain't wide enougth for the jeep, barely clears the mirrors. Also could have been made 6 in taller. 1.5 by 2 in angle iron top and bottom and a 1.5 square tu bing in the middle. On a plow like this it's not the heavyness of the materials used but the little triangles that make it strong. Only need to be super strong where it meets the truck. The angle of attack on mine is more like a dozer blade. Don't wanna be a dick but the round tube you used could bend rather easely later on. I also find the scraper blade too tall. Mine is only 2 in, half an in thick. I have rounded rectangular tubing that sticks out of the jeep about 4 in with a top and bottom hole provisions to compensate for the heigth of the vehicle. A mod I would like to do on mine would be add more holes on the tabs (a top and bottom one) on the plow for fine tuning the angle of how the plow sits. Having a good angle makes a big difference on how the plow behaves.
I was totally on board with the build until I seen how high up the mold board you were mounting your pivot point. You should’ve mounted that down lower with a stop on it to keep it from tipping back towards your vehicle too much. Also with it lower it will put more force on the lower portion of the plow and cutting edge which is the strongest part of the plow and it will keep the plow from tipping so easily.
great video , but just as suggestion please get an external Wireless mic or external top mic , your audio is a bit low when your standing away from the camera had to turn up the audio
A plow collab? How groundbreaking! 😬
Omg... this is amazing and unexpected
I love your channel! I totally didn't see this collab coming at all.
are you running the plasma on 110 or 220v asking for a friend?
@@margaretwilkinson9140 We were running it on 220V 👍
Love this

RV...always something interesting! Some great engineering. Thanks! Have a great vacation.
Oh wow thats awesome!
I didn't know you two knew each other!
Been subbed to both of ya'll for a while now and collabs are always awesome
Same

Haha yea, it wasn’t cheap…. And thanks!
Thanks for the sub! 🤠
glad to see. you back we missed ya...... hope all is well
It is always nice to have a new video from ARV....... one of the nicest guys on UA-cam......

Watching this while it snowed in NYC last night till this morning. Another amazing content from the rural Vermonter

Wow! That's very cool. Good Job ARV and Waldo!!
It’s crazy how I watch you two separately then open UA-cam to find a video with you two TOGETHER!! Awesome!
Yet another amazing video from this fine young man!
Waldo does some impressive fab work.
The duo we didn’t know we needed. Nice work guys!
Enjoy the warm Mexico trip!!!!
Beautiful work !!
That's a strong plow build, Should last a long time!
Excellent video! It makes me feel better about spending $2k for my plow. A lot of work, material, tools,and skill. Looking forward to seeing it in operation. Vt. is overdo for storm.

Waldo has an awesome channel, nice vid!!
This was an awesome team up! Love to see it.
Cool project.
It's pretty cool watching you guys working together
Anytime waldo shows up I'll be there too.
Nice job guys.
I enjoy Waldo’s channel. Will follow both of you👍
Great Job guys !!
I'm on waldo already thank You.
This is great ! Super cool that you and Waldo could work together on this !
What fever dream is this collaboration. No way.
In the airline world, we have a lot of tools and materials at our disposal for home projects. The saying is, "Why would I buy it for a hundred when I can make it at work for a thousand?" For some reason you guys reminded me of that saying.
Waldo’s a beast
Awesome to see the two of you together huge fan of both channels
what a legendary collab
your welding skills are awesome
I love your enthusiasm about tackling anything that come your way. Keep up the Great and awesome video. Stay safe and take care.
Awesome job, especially considering that most of it was cut free-hand using "CAD" technology, although I would have sought out somebody with a CNC plasma or laser for the contoured parts.
Love the creative method of forming the blade without a rolling machine.
Never expected this to be a crossover but I love it. Now I can watch it twice
Awesome video.
Cool project.
Have fun in Mexico, just don’t get banned from their for a year also.. 😂😂
Seen some welded from 55 gallon drums cut in half, I personally made one eons ago from 2 old push shovels for the lawn tractor. I guess with materials and tooling/ welder, anything can be made..
such a cool video, awesome to see you guys working together on a project!
thanks!
Nice job you 2!
This is the crossover I didn't know I needed!
Nice work Guys!
Your XJ looks perfect for a plow truck. Maybe just a couple of dents that need to be buffed out but otherwise it looks ready to go. 🤣😂
I never thought this collaboration would come
Two of my favorite youtubers! Great colab.
Both great channels! Love the collaboration project!
Awesome collab! I enjoyed his series on the C3500HD and trailer!
havent even watched the video yet and im already excited. subbed to both of you and was out of the blue lol
love Waldo videos too bad he doesn’t make that many videos .👏👏👏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👏👏👏👏👏👏
Waldo does a cool work. Your welding skills are getting better everyday. Enjoy Mexico :)
Nice job on the plow! Now if it were me I would of used stainless steel or a steel alloy because stainless doesn’t rust out as fast and is usually stronger when combined with other metals
I want to see the finished project. This is cool
Happy new year buddy. Hope you have a safe awesome 2022. BTW I see the canyon Denali in the background. Hope to see a video about that sometime 🤔🤔😅😅
Welcome back from Milton Vt
I knew you guys lived close but I didn’t know you guys knew each other! A great crossover and a great video! Love your guy’s content keep it up!
Been subscribed to both of your channels nice to see you guys collaborate
Very impressive!! I assume measurements must be exact. Nice job!
Really like the videos and such an awesome project!
Best collaboration ever lol
i recently started watching Waldo when i got recommended his gooseneck build video, now to see you two together, that's crazy coincidence!
Makes me wonder if in Waldos one video when he had his 'witness protection' neighbor help him, was it really ARV? lol
Waldo is probably my new favorite channel and to see this video pop up, I would have never guessed haha but it's awesome
You want a certain amount of slop or play in the pivot points for the plow blade and angling cylinders not only for terrain following but for leveling the blade to contact the ground when it is angled.
Looking good. I think you might have problems without a folding cutting edge. I would imagine that it could auger into the ground and create quite the impact.
Cool project. I follow you both.
you will want it to be able to flop side to side some so it follows the terrain.
That's why You pay Waldo the Big Bucks.
This is the crossover I needed
cool video!
very good
Good Job Buddy, I like it, I live in Mexico don't know where you wanna go I live in Merida and Izamal at the Yucatan Peninsula, so would be nice to meet you!
cool! although i will be in different parts of mexico for this trip
@@ARuralVermonterQqjmcb182 Have a nice Trip Buddy!
Don't forget the trip spring mounts or it won't push anything, otherwise looking good.
Yep those are coming next!
Yoooooo!!!!! Waldo in the house!!! Best anime crossover ever!
Wish you could make a plow for me nice job
After watching this, I now can build a snow plow in 22 minutes. Just kidding, always like to see a build that is useful.
Awesome collab you guys should do more video together been subbed to both of yall for a bit now and didn't see this coming
That looks pretty good. I'd rather do that then buy one
Wow, I really liked that video. You guys have very good fabricating skills. I have a homemade one. Fixed, no trip springs. 6 feet wide by around 21 in tall.

Sheeeeeeshhhhhh ARV is an animal
my two favorite youtubers
Nice I'm subscribed to you both
Lol my driveway got snowed in so bad my dad's suburban couldn't get up without a struggle.
I’d like to build one for my 2013 Honda Ridgeline something lite just for my driveway. I’m sick of snow blowing and shoveling I need a plow
That's a sweet mini drill press I wanna know where I can get one
It's a mag drill, attaches with an electromagnet.
I was totally on board with the build until I seen how high up the mold board you were mounting your pivot point. You should’ve mounted that down lower with a stop on it to keep it from tipping back towards your vehicle too much. Also with it lower it will put more force on the lower portion of the plow and cutting edge which is the strongest part of the plow and it will keep the plow from tipping so easily.
👍🇺🇸...Subbed !
Wow you guys are bad building a snow plow in the snow mid winter
Why is there 1 schrew missing on the front bit?
That welder had me repeatedly looking out my window because I thought I heard sirens
great video , but just as suggestion please get an external Wireless mic or external top mic , your audio is a bit low when your standing away from the camera had to turn up the audio
It's cool seeing people being creative and making their own heavy duty designs instead of buying that cheap Chinese crap
How much is it costing to build the plow?
We might discuss the costs in part 2!
This was fun to watch but... Why? How much is a new, insured, functioning plow? Or a used one?!
Figured it would be more to this than one video
Did you ever sell that cummins you bought from the town/ state? I think that would be a badass plow truck
i did sell it unfortunately
Did you forget to put a nut and bolt on the scraper by chance?
is Waldo a fellow VTer too ?!!
The blade itself looks a bit light duty to me keep us posted as to how it holds up
