Aluminum Rodholder DIY 

"THAT" was better than an I Love Lucy episode. 🤣🤣

Be sure to use stainless steel brush to clean the base metal, as mild steel brush will contaminate and reduce the bonding of the aluminum.

That is just too dang cool man! Thanks for all of the great ideas!

Thanks for making the metal projects more accessible to us!

Man as always thats awesome, keep the good ideas coming. I've already started building several of you're ideas to put on my boat.

Some of your how to have helped me so much thanks for all the stuff the rod holder work great! Thanks!😁

Love all the no weld DIYs. Keep it up!

Nicely done! I’m going to try this one myself. Excellent! Thanks for putting this video out there!

I ALWAYS pick up something great from your channel! Keep up the great work, Buddy!

That was better than any rod holder I've seen. Going to give it a try. Thanks for the tip!!

Kick ass segment, was gonna make a couple addons for my boat and this viewing changed the game for me. Thanxamill

I really like this. I’ve been trying to think of a way to do something like this. Awesome buddy. Thanks for sharing.

That looks like a excellent rod holder

Thanks for another great video. I got me some aluminum rods a few months ago. Haven’t played with them yet. Video was very helpful. Good looking rod holder.

Awesome rod holder. Thanks for the great idea. Take care.

Wow! Impressive! Im getting some of those rods.

Getting ready to build these ..great job

Another Awesome DIY!

I’m trying to come up with something for my little boat. I like them locking ones that have a base you can take top holder out. Now I’m going to check your video for something now

I love all of your diy project ideas! Looks like I'm building some rod holders this weekend lol!

Buddie I just want to thank you for showing us that want and need these ....I'm going to tractor supply right now and thanks again buddy...

I enjoy the heck out of your videos. I was unaware of the aluminum brazing rods until now. Now I gotta get to work on some ideas I have. Thanks

Awesome video man! Good idea on that. Always great to watch your ideas. I made one similar but instead of braising it. I used my grinder to grind a flat spot in the edge of the aluminum angle and drilled a hole and put a bolt through it towards the bottom of this pipe and it acted as a rod stop as well. I used PVC for the pipe. Wish I could include a picture for better reference.

Cool stuff. You have some great ideas.

That done the ticket good stuff and well executed. Handy rods for just have lying around in tool box 👍👍👍😜🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🦄🎣😁🤞✌️

Very informative AND entertinng! Keep up the good work.

Awesome idea!! Thanks for the video!! I can’t believe the bond you got with the brazing. I’m going to try that when I make my next kayak cart!

I'm impressed awesome bro ima make mines soon

Put t at bottom so you could just push it down like a shovel

Love it!! Getting too cold up here to wear my t-shirt, guess I’ll have to hit ETSY for some new swag!!

Now that there is the perfect rod holder really like it. And yes that's a small area to tap in the ground. Keep a 2x4 can use to help get in the ground by hitting the hammer int the 2x4 won't hurt the rod holder or blackness on it. But A++ on this thanks for sharing wish ide new this 20 or 30 years ago I could have helped so many people and made a few dollars maybe atlest get the money back for the material. Have a good week God bless

I’ve decided that I NEED a video of nothing but you trying to break stuff!!!!!!!! I will definitely have to try the aluminum braising. Great vid as always!!!

Not bad not bad at all, love your DIY Ideas and how you do it exactly 👍

Neat project my friend! Now anyone has the ability to build these rod holders. I was skeptical of that aluminum brazing stuff, before watching your video.

Dude that’s awesome! That stuff works great!

Turned out pretty good!

Awesome idea . I think I'll try to make a rod holders for my Jeep. Thank you brother. Be safe.

That Hobart stuff seems tough as all get out! What a game changer that stuff could be for aluminum kayak mods. Great video as always Keith. God bless bud.

Nice to watch, gave me a few ideas 💡

Great video! I'm gonna use this technique to make a rod holder for my bike.

Good build on the pole holders. That's a great build. Geat Idea. I hop to build a few of those when I go surf fish. Great vidios.

that really was pretty awesome... im gonna try this out.

Best DIY I've seen in a long time Thanks And hope you are doing good

That was really nice ‼️‼️

Time for me to try this out. Great ideal.

Man this build is what ???? AWESOME!!!

I've got some of that stuff. Gonna try it

Great vid Fish n Stuff I enjoyed it Brother. Fish on!

WAYLAY!!!! LOL I'm stealing that one from you brother 🤣 Thanks for the video

I'm impressed! Would have never thought it would have been that tuff.

Those aluminum brazing rods can be used to fix up old propellers. There's a video somewhere here on youtube showing how to do it. Basically if the tips of the prop ears are gone or get spanned off when bending back it can be fixed and the prop kept as a spare for just in case or reused full time if you do a really good job with the repair.

This was great! Thanks for posting. Blessings from Ontario Canada.

Now that's Awesome . I'm going get some of that stuff

Love your work

That was AWESOME !!!! great video brother 👍👍👍we need at least one a week. I've got my brother inlaw hooked on ya now !

I was wondering when you were going to use a real hammer!!! Beat the snot out of the pipe and it would not come off, impressive , great ideas once again. Thank you Sir 👍 👍 🇨🇦

Very cool. Thanks for sharing

Looks great tried that couple yrs ago didn`t go well but I see what it was

Just what I was looking for. Great video, no Bullshit time wasting👍👌

Great vid as always brother! 👊

Appreciate the beating video, now I understand how strong it is!

I'm going to have to try this out

Perfect.....and by the way , i absolutely luv that metal work table 🙂

I used to duck tape a piece of pvc pipe to a piece of rebar. Quick and easy. Also, if u let the rebar stick past the pvc a quarter inch you have a place to hammer it in the ground.

Dude your videos are awesome and entertaining

Very cool been looking at those rods at harbor freight but didn't know how well they would work.

You should add a foot peg to it then you can just push it into the ground with your foot.

That is pretty awesome!!!!!!

You can me bring a couple of them to catcon! Lol! Nicely done bro

That was epic!

Awesome video

Ive found windex cleans up aluminum great to

Cleaning aluminum always brush in one direction, never back and forth or side to side. Pro tip.

Ta-Day that right there is awesome 😃

You done good on that braisin. She look real nice. Strong too!

always a great diy that had me rolling watching you beat on that pipe but great video love it

Where do you come up with these ideas they all are really cool.

Pretty dang sweet!

You know how you say that that was awesome ? Well I'm telling you that you are awesome !!! You're awesome and one funny dude that just one of my reasons for subscribing , thank you for sharing Mr. Awesome .

Excellent

That’s awesome!👍

Just like all of your ideas, that is awesome! I was wondering if you have any ideas on how to build a pole transducer mount? Thanks for all the amazing videos!

Awesome as always Keith! 👍 Thank for stirring up some ideas. I have some of these rods for filling holes on an aluminum boat..worked great until I got the thin boat too hot on one and ended up with a quarter sized hole instead of the pin hole it was. Epoxy to the rescue!😑😂. I’m gonna make some custom trolling rod holders for it now. You were thinking of building a boat awhile back..anything ever come of that? Appreciate all you do brother! Best wishes and Happy holidays to ya! 🎣✌️

Maybe you could add some kind off holder for bait to? Awesome build and vid as always!

Regardless if it saves you money or not there is a definite sense of accomplishment when you build something you need yourself

I once saw someone patch a hole with JB Weld. It was about the size of your pipe and it was in an old VW Beetle engine block that threw a roe. I know for a fact that the car was still running 3 years later with on leaks. It would be interesting to see haw your rod holder experiment would work with JB Weld. I bet you could come up with more hacks!

Nice job

That’s awesome!

Good stuff!

this is gonna work great and I'm gonna get me a couple built up.. thanks for testing out the braze rods so we don't have to..

Thank you,

Cut the pipe in half long ways but leave 3" solid on the bottom. It still works the same but you dont have to pull the rod out the end of the pipe. Makes for a quicker hook set. You will need to weld something across the bottom to keep the rod from sliding down. I promise you will like it better
