Cart looks great, could save a few $ with a few mods. Maybe pvc electrical conduit would be cheaper, or modifying an off the shelf folding cart. I like your build, and might base my cart on a 200L plastic tub. Interesting assessment of the build at the end. AND simply AWESOME backing track music, spot on.
@@brettelliott3308 I’m in Australia and beach access can be far, steep, soft sand or rough where you need a cart, so light and tough with WIDE wheels is the need. For jetties old stripped down folding prams work a treat, free on the footpath just kit them out as needed. Shopping carts are owned by supermarkets and rewards offered for returns, so used rarely, but do make great bicycle fishing carts.
Great build. And you're right, carts like these are great for people in construction, etc. that have stuff around the house all the time. I made one out of punch angle that I had lying around the shed and it turned out great except I made the inside a bit narrow, but it still fits my ice chest. A little tip for the rod holders: chamfer the inside of the top to keep it from digging into the foam/cork of your rod handle. It'll help keep from damaging it and from just getting snagged as you put them in.
THE ONLY CHANGE I WOULD MAKE TO THE CART IS A LONGER & DETACHABLE HANDLE, TOO SHORT OF A HANDLE & THE CART HITS THE BACK OF UR LEGS WHEN PULLING & DETACHABLE HANDLE MEANS IT WILL FIT IN THE BACK OF UR HATCH BACK !!!
That's great. I love how you compared the cost. What you can't quantify of course is the satisfaction of having built it yourself! Maybe that's worth the $42, maybe not.
Good for you to try and buy. Thank you. By this video you have saved us all $$$$$$. And I can’t complain. Learn from others. Thank you brother you are a treasure. If lived next door I know we would be best of friends.
I looked at the same project eight years ago and ended up buying a Fish N Mate cart. I've built a fishing bucket based on your video and it is great. I just used it in the keys a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great ideas keep them coming.
knew it was going to cost more than a cart you can buy. i got a metal fold up cart that lays flat take up less room for storage. paid 60 bucks for it new.
Upfront may be more costly but over time, if the cart is treated well it may last much longer as it wont rust out so ultimately could be less costly in the long run. Great build.
Awesome DIY video Brother. I too did the math. In my case I have pretty much most of the material for free due to working on a citrus & nut farm where our irrigation system requires us to have left over materials. My only expense would be the metal hardware & tires. Awesome video 👍🏼👊🏽
Nice video! My brother and I, used to buy hand carts at meijer, You know, the little cheap ones to carry groceries, and make the into "fishn buggies" with the slim wheels they go through the sand easy.
This would be awesome cart to pull behind electric bike, just have to modify handle, ( longer to clear back wheel and handle the attach to back rack.) Screw on piece of thin puckboard on floor to keep water/mud off. Ebike carts are $3-450 so there you go a cheaper option .Another great video
Nice part of building a cart is you can customize the size to what you want to carry in it. I built one for pier usage and laid out everything I wanted to take and came up with the size I needed and built the cart that size.
another great video. I made a cart with wheeleez wheels and white pvc boards for the bottom floor . i had lots of scap pvc but the wheels and floor boards cost some cash.
Man that's awesome looking cart the up side about the price is you built your self nothing like doing that but also gotta add some gas money to the list so it went on up but keep building stuff 👍
Cool cart. I like how you did the price comparison. Let’s be honest. The days of building your own stuff is gone with the prices of materials. Sad! Great video. I always like your videos.
Love your cart video and that you provide a succinct inventory of parts. While it may cost a bit more than buying one, I will build my own PVC cart so that I can customize the dimensions and features which is a huge plus for me. The PVC cart is also much sturdier than most of the prebuilt carts.
For the axel, I use shower curtain rail pipe. Place struts from axel to frame, or the wheels and axel will flex. Make the front leg base square, add some treated play wood or thick plastic sheet, to stop the front sinking into the sand. I also added a treated ply wood floor to mine. About cost, which will last longer, the $99 steel or the $140 plastic. Also, which is more fun to build.
Looks like like a fun project. Maybe the galvanized conduit would be cheaper but you would have to weld it. I use it for building pontoon boat frames it's cheap and galvanized
Even though this build was not cost effective... I enjoyed watching this cart build. I like to think to myself how to make a cart with used parts (scrounging) on the cheap to suit my needs. Adult beverage holder. I'm just saying... Good job and good show! A.M.F. Adios my friend.
I knew that end was coming. It used to be that you could build it cheaper, but not with the recent price increases of PVC. As usual though, great video. I like the change in music when you were mounting the wheels to the axel.
Now that is "AWESOME"!! Yeah thought about building a pvc cart too but ended up getting a fold up cart at walmart on clearance for $75. I t has the over sized wheels on it. Thanks for sharing this build with us Kieth.
I'm going to build this. I'm serious. I love this. You have inspired me. I'm a plumber by trade so I might be able to get some of the Fittings Pretty cheap if not for free. But I live in Florida and I do a lot of pear fishing and beach fishing so this is going to be awesome. I can't wait. I'll send pictures of it or post pictures for you when I'm done
Fun to watch even when you knew it was a little expensive. The idea that it CAN be done is worth seeing. You are one of my favorites. Missed the lures comments though. Lol
Was doing the salsa all around the kitchen while watching.....LOL Really appreciate the breakdown and comparison at the end, trying to figure out if it's actually worth it....but like others said, this should last longer than steel....
Those 13” inch rims have blow out issues on rough terrain. I worked at a place and manufactured foldable aluminum carts. Our solution was to get two rings aluminum waterjet cut with five holes for the bolts (stick was 1/4” I think), deflate the tire, disassemble the bolts and nuts, place a 5 hole ring on both sides, and peel ace the bolts with a longer set. Additionally, if you want to beef up any particular joint, fiberglass and epoxy does the trick, I’ve played around with pvc waaaaay to much when I was a kid. Fun material.
I'm in Spain and the diy is a much better deal. Beach carts aren't a big thing here. People just carry there stuff to one spot from there car and don't move. Great vid.
One other option is starting out with a used pressure washer frame. These are easy to find at lawn mower shops as the pumps on these go bad and often the owners just junk them. Also I have made some PVC items and even when using the thick wall PVC for the handle I have had them crack and then you have a piece of junk. Just some thoughts that you may find useful.
Me, I use a plastic basquet with wheels and a handle, and it fit very well for flat and cemented floor. Maybe using it with biggers wheels, maybe two basquet jointed. Probably it beat the price. I GOT THAT BASQUET FREE, JEJEJEJE. CONGRATS FORVYOUR VIDS.
Another great instructional! You’re the best! I saw an aluminum carrier at Academy the other day for $99.00. Seriously considering purchasing it to make a cart with removal wheels so as to haul it in my Chevy Equinox to the beach and then set up. I think I can use your PVC handle similarly. At any rate I would love to you develop a cart from an aluminum carrier for surely it would look pro grade!
I made mine out of 1 1/4” PVCP BLAZEMASTER pipe i get pretty regularly. I work as a Fire Sprinkler inspector and the install guys give me their scrapes or whole lengths left over…. Its a monster. For the wheels i used wheels from a power wheel toy that was broken down it also came with a solid metal axel……
As an owner of the Sea Striker Cart...I can tell you that as long as you used stainless hardware, you shouldn't have any corrosion issues. The Store bought cart will rust. Additionally, you will wish you had balloon tires on both of those carts if you're going to the beach. Great build though, i love the ingenuity!
Great job, there's nothing like making it yourself and trying to save money. Who knows the cart that you made probably will last longer, but cost effective, I get it. You also have to take into consideration your time and labor spent on making it. As a plumber myself yes I have some materials laying around. But I believe the best alternative is to just buy one. Lived the video though bud.
i'm almost finished with my cart . i used all salvaged materials except for 2 " U bolts " . by salvage i mean free . materials i was paid to remove from various jobsites and homes . the whole cart cost me less than $5 unless you count the pvc glue . ( which i had to replenish for work anyway ) so i don't count it . i get a lot of materials for free . just last week , 4 privacy fence panels . . . slightly used ( about 1.5 yrs old ) but still in great shape . new ones are $72.00 here . . . each .
Hey Keith, You know, cost notwithstanding it's still an awesome build and like you said, anyone with the right size leftover pvc pieces just lying around, can still build it, rather than buy it. All in all, another great video my friend.
its awesome. your pvc cart can be customize to fit your cooler or bags or your likings. where as a store bought one can only be mortified some before it costs more than diy. you could might could start with a hitch haul from HFT and build it out also.
I'd put a flat piece on the bottom. Pretty cool and the axles look way better than my golf cart had on them when it fell apart halfway to where I was going. I had to rebuild it so it would last forever
If you don't glue the two connections between the axle and the bottom half of the cargo basket you could use the axle section as the base for a kayak cart. That way you get two carts and only need to store one set of wheels.
The biggest and only advantage to the pvc cart is you can make it any size you need because we all know fishing is definitely not a one size fits all situation 😉
Great PVC cart build, love the hacks that you do. Your mind is kinda like mine, saving money and building stuff that is useful, One exception your back East and I am in San Diego ca. Keep up the good work. So Stick Around!
That was awesome but I'm with you I think I would order 1 metal is a little more durable than plastic and a little cheaper lol thanks for sharing your awesome
Really good Video ! And the breakdown of what the material actually cost ! Thats a big issue when Gear are made (raw material is rather pricy from Time to Time ,atleast up here in North Sweden) pvc here are Silly expensive and we dont have the same pvc&joints as shown in this here video Big difference And thats a let down . Always fun to see your videos their really good !
Great build! I have the cart made by the liner company. I used those tires on it and it kept trying to fall over in the truck. Good tires but not as stable for a traveling cart 😅
Go buy a bunch of couplings put the pipe back together and take the pipe and stuff back and get your money back. Imagine the look on the face of the person at the counter. Lol. Hey, seriously another great video. I keep looking for them. Have a great day.
Dammit...it's an excellent built Mr Keith...did u ever think of building houses...boats...cars.. Interstellar capsules?..😂😂😂...u know what i'm saying....yeah we know what Ur saying...u Say It all the times...😂😂😂💪💪💪
Love the quality of your builds. Also the honesty at the end. 🤙🏼
Thank you Sir , I appreciate that
As usual, a great day video. You are possibly the most useful content on UA-cam.
Thank you very much
I made one like this for my bike out of a kid hauler I found in the trash. Perfect starter frame. Its awesome.
I've looked at several fishing carts and none of them met the standards I wanted. Building one would be my first choice.
Thanks Keith.
Hello happy fishing Friday 🎣 👍🏼 I loved the PVC pipe cart with the rod holder you did 👍🏼🎣
Amazing! You're a master hand crafter! Keep them coming.
One of your coolest videos yet, thank you for doing the Lord's work n stuff!
Good timing I was thinking of buying one of those buggy carts for my fishing stuff
An honest man in this day and age is a find. Thank you, sir.
Sometimes yes it gets expensive, but I always find in fun building stuff, brain storming. Great job.
Your skills are “awesome” and your honesty is honourable
Thanks for sharing
Love your work
Cart looks great, could save a few $ with a few mods. Maybe pvc electrical conduit would be cheaper, or modifying an off the shelf folding cart. I like your build, and might base my cart on a 200L plastic tub. Interesting assessment of the build at the end.

Or a used shopping cart!😊

I’m in Australia and beach access can be far, steep, soft sand or rough where you need a cart, so light and tough with WIDE wheels is the need.

Great job Keith, once again the PVC Gods are smiling down upon you...
Great build. And you're right, carts like these are great for people in construction, etc. that have stuff around the house all the time. I made one out of punch angle that I had lying around the shed and it turned out great except I made the inside a bit narrow, but it still fits my ice chest. A little tip for the rod holders: chamfer the inside of the top to keep it from digging into the foam/cork of your rod handle. It'll help keep from damaging it and from just getting snagged as you put them in.
Dang it - you did it again. You told it like it is.
Sweet!
Thanks

😁
THE ONLY CHANGE I WOULD MAKE TO THE CART IS A LONGER & DETACHABLE HANDLE, TOO SHORT OF A HANDLE & THE CART HITS THE BACK OF UR LEGS WHEN PULLING & DETACHABLE HANDLE MEANS IT WILL FIT IN THE BACK OF UR HATCH BACK !!!
That's great. I love how you compared the cost. What you can't quantify of course is the satisfaction of having built it yourself! Maybe that's worth the $42, maybe not.
Sir, your choice of music is AWESOME!!! I love your videos and am firmly convinced that we are related. Great job brother. God bless
Good for you to try and buy. Thank you. By this video you have saved us all $$$$$$. And I can’t complain. Learn from others. Thank you brother you are a treasure. If lived next door I know we would be best of friends.
Hope and pray that you and the family were safe during the storm. Even though buying is cheaper, nothing like saying " I built it MYSELF."
It sure is awesome and as you say a bit expensive. Good effort thanks for sharing.
Happy you fonally did the cart. if i know you we will see a few more iterations with improvements. Love it. Love the channel.
Awesome job!
I think adding Lynch Pins, or, Hitch Pins and drilling a wider hole in the axle, can make the tire removal for transporting.
I looked at the same project eight years ago and ended up buying a Fish N Mate cart. I've built a fishing bucket based on your video and it is great. I just used it in the keys a few weeks ago. Thanks for the great ideas keep them coming.

Wish more like you in UK, could do with a laugh... another great video , stay safe that man..
So it costed a little more it`s the satisfaction of making one at least your frame is not going to ever rust just the Axle, Wheels, Bolts. Enjoyed it
Upfront may be more costly but over time, if the cart is treated well it may last much longer as it wont rust out so ultimately could be less costly in the long run. Great build.
Thank you , I think your correct and the ability to customize it . Makes its really cool
That was Awesome 👍,love your ingenuity too 💪🎣🐟

Then it would be well worth you making one

Most definitely, was also wondering why ur side kicks the spinnerbait & crankbait didn't show up for the video

If you will use a glass drink bottle you can heat the PVC and then push the bottle in neck first it will flare it

I'm gonna have to build me 1 of these carts, I think I have everything I need except the axel. Awesome video!
Thank you so much for sharing this video with us!!!

I see these about every day. Even the ones that are bought still have things permanently mounted by the owners. Beach ling!
For pier fishing, we used to just steal shopping buggies. Well not me. That was my brother. By the way, that is awesome!

Another good thing about using pvc in Florida is the salt water eats metal up!
Yep, I also live in Florida too. I can't wait to get mine done!
I'm in Spain and the diy is a much better deal. Beach carts aren't a big thing here. People just carry there stuff to one spot from there car and don't move. Great vid.

Cool project. Like you said though, if you can purchase one that much cheaper, do it and buy a gallon of gas with the extra. Great video Keith.
Thank you brother. I love building stuff but the point is to make fishing more affordable
I'd put a flat piece on the bottom. Pretty cool and the axles look way better than my golf cart had on them when it fell apart halfway to where I was going. I had to rebuild it so it would last forever
