It went pretty fast with a tiny 500watt drill engine✌🏻 just imagine what it will do with a 170HP superbike engine🤙🏻🤪

Tip for welding aluminum. Always clean surfaces with acetone before welding, even if it looks clean. Wipe your feed rods with acetone as well. It's a good idea to also use a wire brush or green scotchbrite pad where you plan to weld just to make sure surface residue is gone. For areas that will be welded don't mix materials with abrasives, meaning abrasives used on aluminum should only be used with aluminum. Taper the amps at the end of the weld to prevent suck-back (can be source of cracks). Turn up your post flow time to at least 5 seconds, I usually use 7 seconds minimum at 17-25 cfh. I like using the foot pedal with aluminum because there's a small temp difference between a good consistent weld and having it blow out. Every time you dip the rod it sucks heat out of the weld and can cause it to re-solidify so I usually manually pulse to keep it in the sweet spot. But overall starting out on the thicker material is definitely easier and will help get the basics down with minimal issues.

I can't get over the fact that this thing already moved faster under drill-power than my small boat with 4hp outboard Tomos used to go flatout. Amazing work! Looking forward to the next part!

That's right! Nobody told you it was difficult, or even impossible, so you went out there and made it work! What you do is a source of intense inspiration! I'm heading to my garage right now to make that space useful! 🇧🇷 😊

When grinding aluminium with abrasive tools a little bit of candle wax helps a lot to prevent it from clogging up and start smearing the aluminium instead of cutting it. Just dab it onto the tool once in a while. When hack sawing the blades might tend to stick and jump so a little cutting fluid, ethanol or WD40 helps and same goes for rotary filing and any blade cutting.

I'm a Machinist of 35 years and I have worked with many fine fabricators. You have skills and would be welcome in any shop. Great job

Very cool! Well done! Must get more into aluminium welding myself. Gonna wait for the next episode. Cheers.

What an amazing engineering feat you accomplished here. So awesome glad I found this channel 👍🏾

This is my new favorite channel. I binged everything a couple months ago...now I drop everything when you have a new upload. Your ingenuity is inspirational. Also, I am a professional engineer and CAD expert. I for one can attest to the effort you put into your drawing plans. That must have taken forever. For such a young guy...you have some great skills.

Just ran across your channel and love the build and I’m not trying to be one of those people but the force of water going thru that pump I’m afraid will blow those wood screw out pretty quickly, I would also glass the plywood box in a little more on the inside and secure the alum. plate on the bottom. Don’t underestimate the power of water. Again I like the build

Always so impressed with your skill set. For that being your first aluminum welding project, you sure picked a challenging one. That said, you are doing great as you always do! Always use lots of sealant on all mated surfaces and on any screws sunk, a dab in the hole before you screw it in. Of course you know this so I apologize for my two cents of advice🤗 What a cool project👏

I work in a fab shop, ten years now. I will fight anyone that says your not a master fabricator.👍 BTW welding aluminum is a pain in the ass. Ever if you've done it for years and year's. One of my welders tells me, for him it welds better when the tungsten is more rounded, rather than sharp.🤙

You have my respect just for the improvised metal bender. Great work!

Amazing talent for banding metal and sense for fabricating,bravo 👏👏👏

First, excellent video and you have “mad” skills and experience! Second, major kudos to you for doing all the work and making this available to people who want to try their hand and duplicate! New to your channel recently and enjoying every video, keep up the awesome content!

That would've already been impressive when using the proper tools. But building half the tools necessary for this and achieving such a nice finish? Next level, you are truly incredible.

(Sharing my expertise since you share yours) The camera settings on the Timelapse isn’t really the source of the problem what I think you’re seeing is banding from the LED lights. You can fix it by using a slower shutter speed or matching it to the hz of the lights. Filming weddings I have to deal with that all the time and it’s annoying lol Slowing the shutter speed on a Timelapse will actually give beneficial results too as you can start to introduce some natural motion blur. Love the content dude! Keep up the good work

Homemade madness bringing things to you that anybody should be able to build but in fact nobody else can.

superb job on tackling this project, As you have found out welding aluminium requires very meticulous cleaning I use a spray solvent from Loctite SF 7070. It works very well dry's fast and cleans off any grease and contamination perfectly. I even use it to wipe the rods down as well its surprising how dirty they are from the drawing processes.

My brother in christ this is some stellar work! I've been looking for a way to add propulsion to a dinghy I bought kinda accidentally. Your design fits the requirements damn fine!

Super can do attitude. You will go far in life

This will be lethal with the bike engine, amazing work mate

Aluminium forms an oxide layer almost instantly that interferes with welding so you should grind or wire brush it of around the welding areas right before welding. You may want to wipe it of with alcohol as well as the plastic film might have left some residue on the surface.

Good my friend I'm happy to watching your videos thank you

First just wanted to say, this is absolutely incredible! Secondly, i work a lot with water jets and I definitely recommend you adding a gasket to the connection point between the impeller and the drive nozzle, as any leaks here when you start adding series power will be a massive pain.

The welding certainly improved throughout this process. Those last weld almost looked professional. Welding aluminum is a bit tricky and I suck at it

Mate!!! I think you're an incredibly talented young man who is going to become very deservedly rich!!! Your videos are amazing!!! Well done and thank you! 👍👍👍

Incredible job! I can already see you building a full blown offshore speedboat

Living the dream! Thanks for filming and sharing it.

Awesome. Excellent fabricating and building skills.

In Morocco, we say “Kayen” meaning you exist. There is also a song that says “You are a teacher” by Saad Al-Majarred. I loved the work💚🎩

great stuff. I might just get your plans from your site. I have a CNC plasma table, so instead of wood I will substitute aluminum for the whole thing.

That's some mighty fine bending work from such a rudimentary bender.

Really cool build man! I need to start doing videos like this. Got a ton of equipment but became disabled, might be able to slowly build cool stuff though when the body allows.. anyway I'm glad the younger generation is getting into the makersphere... so many people don't know how to build ANYTHING, cant even assemble an IKEA furniture, seems like actual crafting is becoming a dying art. Keep the art alive man, youre doing great! By the way, amazon has 2 burner forges for under 200 bucks... if youre interested in expanding your shop and skills. I got one to replace my old diy forge, theyre really nice kits.

This man's patience, ingenuity, and attention to detail is amazing!

Typical Dutchman, loves building things properly!!! Glad I found your channel and now subscribed! GO MAX !

Very cool you put a lot of time into the design and it payed off ! It is working effectively for the drill to move it that well

Quick and Dirty bender. I love it!!

A lot of passion and application in this work. Congratulations.

Really impressive, man. I'm waiting for the next part.

That's incredible with the tools you had available!

Well done. This is a very impressive build from all of your planning right down to the finished product

I recently watched a guy spend the same amount of time and he built a pickle slicer. Lol. You are the man!

I’m not sure if you realize this, but your bending method is exactly how large aluminum tanks are bent into i.e. booster rockets… Good on you sir good job

That time-lapse shot of you cutting out the templates was really cool, I'll subscribe to you for that alone.

Finally someone who builds it properly like I would if I needed one

I think a sponsor should send you a plasma-CNC!

You’re awesome! Amazing what can be done with hand tools and modern software combined with the dedication and hard work. Great filming and editing too! If you muted the audio during Timelapse’s using power tools and added some rights free music it would be even better.

One of the first things that you learn in geometry is that a circle is comprised by an infinite number of straight lines 🤔. Great work with the homemade bender. I'm not sure how much cleaning you are doing before aluminium welding, but clean joints with scotchbrite and wipe with acetone first.

Very cool project! I love the can do attitude! Keep making cool stuff!

Very well done! Cant wait to see it complete.

Love the ingenuity & positive attitude Bro !

It's so nice seeing a father son collaboration, even if he doesn't show up on camera. ;)

Amazing videos and well done on instructing details. I cant wait to build one myself, Your the best thank you

Ficou topdlinha, em breve com fé em Deus vo ter um espaço pra fazer essas coisas maravilhosas 👏👏👍

I love doing DIY and making one off vehicles!!

The drill scoots it along pretty good 👍🏻

Absolutely amazing!! Great job!

Can't wait to see the finished product. Subscribing for sure.

Very cool project, well done with the hand build pump components.

made me feel like im assembling gunpla 1/60 scale. awesome and simple

hi from Iceland, like this video's from you. keep it up , you are brilliant

This is amazing. Can't wait to see it finished.

Incredible design and fab! Mad skills.

Love your work, I found a good pair of tweezers and a magnifying glass are good to have when using carbide rotary files those little slivers get everywhere.

És um gênio. Que perfeição!

Your Logo is right on, with project presentation 👏 👌 👍 🙌 😀, A+

This is great project no CNC machines all done by hand and it’s looking great and a great motivator I’m wanting to build a little boat now been wanting to do it for years. Your savings on making those parts was a super awesome process that my ass can do at my home shop without a lot of bud dollar tools 🤙

Was waiting for this video.. Can't wait for the next one! Great job

This has got to be one of the crazier boat build I’ve ever seen, the whole damn thing is custom but keeps a mostly factory look💪

Outstanding work, looked like a lot of fun.

wild man! took Seadoo-inspired parts and put them in a GP Yamaha concept hull! truly a mad scientist!

I can only imagine what you would make if you lived in Texas. You can find atvs, jet skees, boats literally for free.

You are a genius, a very skilled one.

Parabéns! O verdadeiro mestre. Um jovem com presente e futuro, brilhantes. Deus te proteja. Estou no Brasil. Que país é esse aí. Saudações.

Greetings from Indonesia, the Aru Islands, Maluku Province, on the border of Indonesia and Australia, thank you for the knowledge, it is very valuable for us, seniors

Just bought the plans, one suggestion I would make is have the cut out plans as one file as well so I can go down to my local office works and get them to print it out on one sheet instead of taping sheets together

Cool job!! Just have to sub!! Always wanted to make a boat with a jet drive, just a tip when welding Ali clean it with a wire brush or flap disc just before you weld it as you need to remove the oxcide lair before welding and make sure it's really clean , the oxcide has a higher melting point than the Ali.

Awesome, Beautiful making

Keep it coming please... Pretty excited.

Awesome work, man! Thanks for great great video!

Guauuuuu....Fantastic...!!...Gracias por Compartir....!!!...Saludosss

LOVE the work cant wait for part 4

Супер👍Восхищаюсь такими людьми!

Now THAT is some awesome stuff.

Excelente trabalho !!!

Really good work. You got some impressive fab skills.

Love the build and you welding is realy good 👍🏻👍🏻

alleskunner je bent een genie.

Brosif, I have to say this is amazing work. You truly have a gift. In my 35 years of life, I have never seen a metal bender make round shapes.. Maybe I've been living under a rock, but you sir have opened up a new option for me to try! How do you like the welding table so far. I read that it's cast iron.. Does that make any difference to iron sheet when welding, or strength? TIA!

Thank you very much for your time making this video! Wish to see you work on 4 blade Sollas concord... It's quite different! 🤜🤛

Excellent work and very clever.

Wow, talented guy, very impressive.

Nice job for first attempt 👍scotch bright pad and acetone before any welds and you will have clean puddle welds

Keren Pak, saya bisa belajar banyak dari proyek ini. Semoga suatu saat bisa bikin juga. Tidak sabar menunggu video berikutnya

Fantasties gedoen...pragtig man!!! Groete uit Suid Afrika

seeing the intro I wasn't impressed, but after seeing that is drill powered, holy cow am I impressed.

Great builder

very genius I salute you thank you for the knowledge
