Currently Playing: $20 DIY Surfboard Bike Trailer

I wanted an easier way to carry my surfboard two miles to the beach, so I built a trailer that tows behind my bike. This video shows the construction of the “mk.2” trailer with a few improvements on my original, like a better hitch, and super-easy board mounting/removal! The cart is fabricated from ½” PVC pipe and 1/8” steel bar stock and is a good weekend’s build. I built my trailer at the Santa Barbara Hackerspace – If you live nearby, come check out the ‘space on any Saturday! Parts list: 3x10’ ½” Schedule 40 PVC 3’ bar 1/8”x3/4” steel bar 2x6’ ½” foam pipe insulation 10 ish 1-1/4” drywall screws 6’ ish paracord 3 hose clamps 1 ¼” bolt and nut Tools list: Drill or drill press Hacksaw Heat gun Vise and hammer (optional) grinder (optional) welder Music and stuff: I Dunno by grapes is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) http://ccmixter.org/files/grapes/16626 Stay With You by Silent Partner is licensed under a Creative Commons license Deserts by Text Me Records / Bobby Renz is licensed under a Creative Commons license Not the Only One by Rondo Brothers is licensed under a Creative Commons license Mountain by Text Me Records / Bobby Renz is licensed under a Creative Commons license Pink Lemonade by Silent Partner is licensed under a Creative Commons license Till With Bell.wav from Benboncan is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution license Stills: Spaceballs (1987, Mel Brooks) Home Improvement (ABC)
