    I just called an Uber to come pick up my weekly laundry and deliver it to your laundromat. I hope you use lemon scented soap. 🤣.....Great job on this 👍😎🇺🇸😇

    This is awesome!!😍 You've done a fantastic job, and YOU ARE clever!!! With my back the way it is, this would work perfectly for me. I'm happy with a large bucket / tub if I have to handwash, but my back needs more looking after these days. Love your idea❤❤❤

    Great build! I have an old double metal wash and rinse tub on wheels that don't roll anymore. It sure comes in handy. And, yes you can get a nice wringer. ❤

    I found a guy -- Eric Rickards on YT -- who made a wringer out of 2x4's and two wooden rolling pins from Walmart. Cheaper than Lehman's.

    I bought mine from Lehman last year. Only 1 they had in stock with the winger and they rang up the marked price on it & not Internet price. It was about $200 savings that way. If you live close by then it's worth the trip just in savings from shipping cost. I live about 3hrs away. I was able to pick up more off grid stuff from the savings

    If I were doing "off-grid" this would be THE design to use. Thank you for sharing this.

    This is exciting! I was contemplating designing a clothes washer powered by a traditional windmill (Texas has had wild weather causing extended power-outages). Your design has answered so many of my "how do I even start" questions. Thank you for sharing your build!

    cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I think I'll try to build similar - however, I'll need to have an easy storage solution so maybe removable legs are the way to go for me. Love the idea of mounting a manual wringer.

    Awesome. Could you also add a set of rollers (Wringer) to squeeze the water out?

    Very nice build. Pure genius. I've been wanting something like this for myself, but I justt wasn't sure how to go about making it. I've got a wringer that I bought a few years ago, and this was the key piece I needed to set myself up with a great off grid washing machine. I have even come up with an idea for making it a lot better, and when I do it, I'll be sure to give you the credit for the original idea. It will be on my alternate channel DIMTIM1000. Thank you so much for sharing.

  • @kacythomas7436

    I like your DIY home washer, Lemans is a good place to find those wringers. They have a lot of non-electric items.

    It is still going to be very cold in winter using this, but it does wonders for laundry outdoors if its all you can do. I would LOVE to have the ability to hang my laundry outdoors but my neighbors complain about everything I do.

    Have a nice trip? You preparing for the power being shut off? Nice project but, I would just build a wood gasifier to run my generator. Then I could use the labor saving devices. If you go with the gasifier and generator, put them on a trailer and use an electric chainsaw. Good Luck, Rick

    • @will5184

      Europe was great, thanks. Do you have a video of your wood gasifier?

    • @richardross7219
      @richardross7219 7 місяців тому +2

      ​@@will5184It is currently a bunch of propane tanks and pipes. When I need it, I'll build it but its not a priority yet. Mr Teslonian has excellent how to videos for alternative energy projects. Restoring my pickup and and enlarging my garden are the priorities. You could look at powering your washer with a vertical wind turbine and run it through the trans-axle from a lawn tractor. Good Luck, Rick

  • @astrobreaux
    @astrobreaux 7 місяців тому +1

    did something similar diy with a 55 gallon. check out the pannedemic dasher washer here on youtube. prefer to use 30 and 15 gallon size. i use them inside my bathtub so i don't need a stand. the only hand crank wringer i found that works is the heavy duty carwash type.

  • @smackrock99

    I think we are gonna give this build a try. We were going to save for the Leman's but this may do better.
    I might add some holes in the agitator so the water and slosh through it. Thanks.

      The lehmans one is junk. Ours broke after not even a year of use... The tub cracks where they have it supporting the handle so there's nothing you can do to stop it

    Thanks for the video! I'm quite curious, why don't you like pressure treated wood?

    • @will5184
      @will5184  3 місяці тому +1

      It's quite heavy, doesn't wood glue well & shrinks when it dries . There's applications when I'll use it, but I'll avoid it if it's not needed.

    washboard and tub? bucket and toilet plunger (never used in a toilet of course)? i use both.

    • @will5184
      @will5184  7 місяців тому

      The old school method would be a tub and paddle or plunger. the washboard is only used for stains or really dirty areas (collars, cuffs, ect) I prefer my new set-up.

    On glueing the agitator together...do you glue both short pipes and the handle on to the agitator....was wondering about that if you need to disassemble the agitator from the barrel. Thanks!

      Yes, everything is glued.

    The schedule 80 pipe...how wide was the pipe you used?

    • @will5184
      @will5184  2 місяці тому

      The outside diameter is the same as schedule 40. The pipe is thicker so the inside diameter is not as large.

    Could you hook it up to a wind turbine? Would be nice to not need to turn it yourself.
