@@TheOriginalJphyper having worked there, we're "not allowed" to give customers cardboard for free for that reason. But I can assure you, store-level associates do not give a crap about following rules like those. Though thing is if he had told an associate he needs some "some time today," with the reason, I for one would have made sure some very large sturdy pieces made it to him. In fact, there are certain ones we get that would be way better suited for a project like this, as they are nearly impossible to get into the baler (even though it could probably fit the entire boat). I'd basically just say "well Mr. manager, I got rid of the cardboard a lot faster this way."
It's crazy how youtube refused to give u views even while having such good content and collabs glad to see the channel finally get the recognition it deserves
Looks like you made a damn good boat, nice job. I'm kinda surprised the weed whacker didn't work better, but I guess it just was spinning too fast. If you could have geared it down somehow it might have had enough power. That would have been more modification that you probably could do in the time allotted though.
Thanks! Haha yeah I think the real lesson is don’t trust a video clearly made in movie maker 😂 For real though, gearing it down would be a great choice if I knew enough about gearing to implement it usefully - probably something I’ll have to learn!
I am here after watching Peters video. I must say I really like your approach to building and presenting your build. You put a lot of thought into it, and spent time testing most of it. Keep up the good work. Also I am wondering what where the rules for this challenge?
Thanks dude! Pretty basic rules - the body of the boat itself had to be made from only cardboard and adhesive (standard cardboard boat rules) and then we could add on any motor we wanted.
I saw you and next it would be nice if you had a roof on the top like a canopy and add a small water proof motor and a small table and just cruse down the river eating sandwiches😂 I did it it was awesome for about a lifetime It was like 30seconds😂
That was a good idea on motors, However, Marine motors are typically very high torque low RPM. Wheedwackers use high rpm and a clutch to spin the blades. This was way you could just stick it in the water and pull the throttle because there isnt enough torque to spin it against the resistance of water and you couldnt spin enough RPM to fully engage the clutch. But when you spun it up it would drag and then bog the motor. electric motors are instant torque and don't have that issue of torque curve vs clutch.
So funny story I actually once made a combination lock safe out of cardboard. It actually worked, and couldn't be broken into with sheer force. Or at least the door was anyways. I got lazy with the walls, but it wasn't meant to be practical anyways. Unfortunately, a part came loose on the inside while it was closed, and it never opened again. I eventually had to throw it away :(
holy shit a corrugated design lab! that's exactly the kind of place my dad works at. he works at one in Wooster, i used to work summers in one helping him run the table cutting those big sheets into boxes and other pieces and parts for clients. fun fact, the blades they use are actually just standard issue exacto knives. it's literally just a big ass mechanized box cutter
You thought out your design better than Peter. I'm interested in whether or not he comes back for another go. His motor was obviously beter than yours but he has more resources to throw at it. I was waiting to find out how you waterproofed your boat. I'm surprised only one? coat of marine varnish. Ok, I see yours died too. If you soaked all the pieces in resin and coated it inside and out I think you might be on to a winner here. I'm going to back you on a return match. Good Effort Louis.
I love how you attempted to roast sears, when your first call was to an even shittier dying company, that you never got thru to, seems one is still doing better than the other. :3
Not to be that guy but getting electrocuted means to die from a shock, you got shocked homeboy and I’ll be the first to tell you, it’s not a good time lol (former electrical apprentice). Awesome videos man, keep killing it!
