Homemade Mini Tank Build, Part 1 

As a grandfather helping or rather teaching my grandsons the right way to build a go kart, you have given me more food for thought and something for me to build. Keep up the good work. And ya don't need to buy new stuff, just take time looking in the scrap bin!

Loool great idea! Cant wait to see it done!👊🏻👊🏻

Cool as hell. I think the grass-roots approach makes this way more interesting to watch than a huge budget build like Furze

your kid is lucky to have a Dad like you. I enjoyed watching the process and the smiles on both of your faces at key "test" points in the project. I will bet any science projects for school exceed expectations. Reminded me of when mine were young and the fun we had.

Nice!

50secons in and the amount of smiles and giggles out of your girl is insane. Good stuff

I can't wait to see the finished product... Great job 👍👍👍👍👍

Stick welding out of a tig torch. You sir have my respect

Tank girl would be proud! Excellent stuff chief!

This will be epic when it's finished!!!

Off to a good start.

I love watching your videos. MORE MORE MORE MORE.

That thing looks cool!

Love your welding/safety slippers! I lathe and mill in my Safety crocks! Cheers!

LOL - RU-vid safety officers. You do good stuff. You give the kids a real education.

The ideas just keep getting better and better. Sumhow I dont see the kids getting too much seat time tho.........

your channel is awesome every build you do is interesting and fun to watch

I am glad I found your channel. Had to subscribe. I love to watch people make wild machines!

That's an impressive scrap bin! I'm jealous!

Daniel, all I can say is that you are one amazing guy, the ideas and things you come up with are nothing but amazing and your daughter must have lots of fun hanging out with you as my daughter used to do.

Wicked bro, keep on keepin on!

I wish you were my dad. This is great. I predict this series will get a lot of views

Awesome to see you wear the same safety jandals I do too 🤙

Man your working fast big fella!!

Enjoyed the video, keep them coming 👍👍

Looks rad!! I love how you use whatever you can find!!! Need to find you some larger tractor tires to cut up

You are an inspiration sir.

great job mate i dont know who will enjoy this more you or your kids keep up the great work 👍👍

Keep building this interesting stuff and I'll watch

Haha that's so cool. Looking forward to next vid.

Looks sick man, something I wanna make now

So awesome! I can't wait for the next video 👌🤙

Bro that's my favourite thing to do scrap bin scavenging or the council collections😍 picking up random pieces of steel engines and everything else its amazing what people throw away I love Laser cutters scrap bins have some wicked bits in them always a lot of nice perfect circles in different sizes and materials that come in handy all the time and im also a shirtless at the most in a singlet type of welder as well😄

I love tracked machines, I'm building a set now for an Argo. Can't wait to see how this shapes up, what a buggy!

Very cool video. Hope to see your channel grow in the future.

Bloody champion mate

welding in the chinese safety boots, love it lol

how many faceplant before you nailed the last shot? And another cool project from dk, allways nice to watch. You are the guy doing it on the budget that i could work wiht as wel, unlike most youtubers who just order some new tracks, a truckload of steel and all that just for a project.

another good vid. 😎

Looking great. How are you going to make it watertight I wonder 🤔 OK maybe not this time. Keep them coming.

_COOL, BUT WHAT DO YOU USE IT FOR?_

Keep at it bro

I think u need to splice two of those tires together to make one track

awesome 👌

Tanks for another good vid,u could make it modular so ya can have a normal front end like a buggy but since ya got a chargin system on it u could mount some low power led lights on it like 2 x 10w

Madman 👍👏👏

Awesome video, but please do something with the hair so the saw doesn't catch it

i love how your mind works..... dk welder: im bored....time to make a tank! edit: hows the jet board coming? any progress towards a grate?

In my opinion it looks like the track should be longer/axles further apart. Love it though will be cool toy for the kids

Sweeeet,Subbed.!

Dude, you are a fricken mad man!! Love it though! I'm getting sick of California, maybe New Zealand is where it's at...

Make a removable tray over the motor to carry a swag and fuel and then have a frame over your head with a bit of sheet on-top to keep some sun off ya

🛠️🛠️🛠️super cool🛠️🛠️🛠️

Shot Bro!! F@%ing mean as!

I don't think you will get a WOF with that tread depth on the tracks though, only problem I can see

Good

some pre drilled holes on the front angle so you can lock the tension in place with quick pins after tightening with the turnbuckles. so the turnbuckles dont take the load might prevent a failure. otherwise im jealous af and need to do cooler shit on my vids obviously lmao

Colin can keep his Yorkshire tea; I'd much rather a good ole kiwi lion red any day anyway

fk yeah

Just work on your proportions a little better. The tracks might look way to small. It's like u and collin have a direct link into my brain😂 been thinking about a mini tank since I was 10

Those turn buckles arnt very strong, just brittle cast crap

Made the mistake of watching this with my 9 year old twin boys... Next question was.. Dad.. you know the old lawnmower round the back.... The rest you can guess!!! Just wish we had your weather!!! It might take us a while longer...😁

Well that sucks I wanted to see it finished

name change?

thats not a tank... its a tonk
