Homemade Pipe Roller Makes Polytunnel Frames. (Finally!) Or is it a hoop house?

- Well it's taken a while, but finally I'm able to make hoops with my pipe rolling machine. (I could make complete rings with it too, but I'm not sure what I'd do with those.) And now it makes sense that I made it on one of my narrow-gauge railway trolleys..
Ok, here are some important website links. Please check them out..
this is Sandra's GoFundMe page - please throw in a few pennies to help her build a barn..

Don’t steal our stuff!
I could literally watch you making stuff for hours
Your little search round at 2.28. Happens to me too once in a while. Whawhawhawha.
perfect morning - coffee and a "way out west"-video :)
Lovely accent you got, i hope that one day you read some audio books. Its enjoyable to listen your calming voice!
Tim, you are one dedicated inventor! Excellent success!! Wish we were neighbors. 😉
Me too : - )
Excellent bit of tool fettling.
Great construction, smart.
Perfectly done loves it!
Great job. You got there in the end.
Hooray!
Tim is one who will persevere
Clearly a man who has no fear
With iron and gear and a railroad trolley
To the untrained eye it seemed a folly
Fits and spurts and a curly cue fail
A magical result which his fans will hail
Straight curved pipe he has now
Stand up Tim and take a bow
@@sinisterhipp0 as a Neanderthal and a Hippo we must stand apart from the crowd......
Nice verse Tim deserves that , and a medal.
Brilliant. Well done.
Lovely
Way to go Tim💪🏼☺️
Bravo! Well done!
Thank You
Congratulations ❣️
love your builds you are very clever!
Great solution.
Well done perseverance and intelligence won through
We will watch this later my husband loves to see what you are making next .On a Monday evening it makes us so happy to watch you .We love Ireland and Tim and Sandra. It's so good 😅 and calming 😌😌. Thank You peace ☮️☮️☮️☮️
Satisfying!
Awesome. Nice work
Great job Tim.👍
Thank you!
Clever , you are .
Super project.
Coming up next is... Tim builds a spaceship with pallets and bendy tubes:). Love the dollies.
Tim, you never cease to amaze me. Well done sir. Blessings to all
I really love that you not only extended your railway recently, but also found a new use for it! Very creative! Do more stuff with the railway, these are the videos I love most!
Thanks, will do!
Excellent :) This has been a very enjoyable journey - and thank you for replying to my email. Looking forward to the polytunnel build.
Finally :D I have been waiting for an update on the project. So all that rolling pipe and all that rolling corrugated metal could all add up to a brand new barn. A barrel roof is very sturdy after all. Thanx for the update.
👏👏👏
Your so clever as well we marvel how you make things .You make it look so easy .❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Excellent. Now looking forward to see how you make the plastic cover 😁
Ha!
Awesome job. 👍👍👍 Thanks for sharing, Necessity is the mother of invention. The head is not just for growing lice
I never doubted it would work and you can never have too much space to garden. I look forward to seeing what plants go to live in the polytunnel.
The plan is for a wood-drying store first, but now I can make them, anything could happen..
Very nice! Could cover the whole farm now.
well, fancy you turning up in this neck of the woods
SH - coming in from the cold I find I often do that myself
Not bad at all
fair play for sticking with it! There were doubters I'm sure, but I wasn't one of them!!
I was one of them for a while : - )
Amazing! Happy you figured it out. I love your ingenuity and perseverance- so lovely compared to a lot of CZcamsrs who solve similar problems with $$$ or seem obsessed with doing things the 'right way' which usually equals even more $$$.
One clever guy or what 👍👍👍love this channel
Yes, it is very satisfying, kudos Tim!
Brilliant Engineering, in aww at everything on this channell
Outstanding development work and step by step explanation
Nice work Tim!
Glad to see you got it sorted out!
Awesome, well done! Always satisfying to see how you sort it all out ;D
Excellent work Tim! Congrats!
Outstanding job! Congratulations on not building a hot air balloon.
yet
nice work tim you ever notice if you try to cut a pipe with a hacksaw length ways the pipe starts to bite the blade because there is some type of residual stress inside the grain structure i have a theory that causes the pipe to wonder off while rolling i plan to stress relieve it with heat using a rose bud torch then let it cool and start to roll it out the pipe also gets soft i will only attempt this on thick wall pipe congratulations
Yes, that makes sense. Good luck!
Excellent.. do you know about the clever welding of the plastics the Hungarian folk use ?? You need a board with gouges out of it. An iron. A bent piece of wire. And s damp tea cloth. If you want details let me know.
Thank you. Yes I think I know what you mean. Useful for some applications, but I'm not sure about a windy field. But I'll have a think..
Awesome Tim.
Congratulations!!!!
👍
You skills nevers cease to amaze.. Good afternoon from freezy bweeng
Greetings to Bweeng : - )
Success! And hard earned.
Brilliant work!
I made my hoop house from PVC. It was great... until we got two feet of snow a couple years ago. (It was completely crushed and destroyed. We don't normally have that much snow.)
Exactly - they can't cope with heavy loads including winds. Shame though, because they're much easier to make, aren't they?
we all learned alot from this series
That's good news!
Alright, Tim!
You are a genious! 😁
Great stuff! Keep up the good work! Good luck from Roscommon :D
Thanks! You too!
Watched your poplar hybrid video. Could you advise where in Ireland or N. Ireland to buy. I have exposed site in Co Antrim needing quick windbreaker
I love the ingenuity. I tried making a roller bender once but gave up after the first attempt, I ran out of time so changed the design of what I was doing. My question is does it make enough of a cost saving to not just buy a Polly tunnel? I like to do things myself but often it ends up costing more. Lol
It wouldn't pay if you wanted only one polytumnnel, but I have lots of other things in mind too...
have you considered leaving a few feet at either end of the pipe strait if thats possible? it would give you alot more space at the edges of the polytunnel as the sides wouldnt slope down so sharply
I'll add those when I set it up in the field..
did you think of making the hoops in two sections, it would allow you to make a bigger hoop and have more head room in the poly-tunnel
Yes, thanks. Perfect for bigger tunnels, but this is the size we need next
A little bit of brain power to solve your problem well done when I worked in Israel I spent weeks hand bending pipes for polytunnels me (ex rugby union prop) and a South African guy (ex rugby union lock) we were cheaper than a pipebender the farmer we were working for was selling them to other farmers
Brilliant!
Oh wow, thick-walled pipe! no wonder you had so much trouble bending it. That stuff is so strong. Are the winds that strong in Ireland they would flatten thin-walled poly tunnel!?! Cheers from California.
Yes they are! But also, I just can't find any thin-walled pipe..
@@WayOutWestx2 Ahh, maybe a smaller overall diameter then. But hey, at least they won't rust away quickly! Look forward to the next video.
Biggest lesson for me in this are the bearing axles. I would never try to use square tubing, I would not even trust a pipe in their place. it seams thou, the forces involved are distributed fairly evenly.
I'm surprised too. I even bought a length for solid square bar to replace the hollow box when it bent, but it hasn't.
So now you're going to sell polytunnels? I imagine there's potential for some nice margins on this.... ;)
they wouldn't go into the back of my car very well though
7:40 am? what's wrong with you?
Ha! Half the day is over..
Tip, stick one end of polythene pipe in ground, bend pipe over into ground opposite....... No tools required. 5 minute job. Gullible people.
and then watch it fall apart in the first storm..
