Ozark Trail 8.5" X 27" bumpers sold at Walmart. Same, size under different brand name can be had at Academy Sports, Sportsman's Warehouse, Bass Pro, Amazon. If you follow the other parts of my build, I give very exact measurements for all the PVC housing the bumpers. The bumpers swell up a bit under pressure and heated up by the sun. I would consider adding 1/2" to the length of the 1/2" pic pipe that goes through the holes on each end of the bumper. I think I cut them 4" and they could stand to be 4.5". Hope this helps!
Unfortunately, your video is mirror-inverted. Even the cordless screwdriver turns to the left. But of course that doesn't detract from the super good content!
I am more concerned with creating content and providing good information than production excellence. It is easier to film when I can see myself in the screen (inverted). The only reason I reversed the one shot was so folks could read the "Mad River Outfitters" on my hat, because those folks deserve a shot out for being a premier fly shop here in the good old USA.
a brilliant idea, I'm going to copy it straight away!👍
Good stuff!!
in the second half it is the right way round ;-)
might I ask which boat bumpers you used? very nice build. I am trying to figure one for a kayak
