Let's see some skating on it after all that work! Nice job!

Hey, if you're having issues with the water not coming out the end of your "flood bar" as well as in the middle, angle your holes upward, at a 45. That will help stop gravity from dropping most of the water in the middle and get an even distribution down the full length of the bar. Keep up the good work!

im a Zamboni operator in Australia and i would give anything to be able to skate on my local pond and maintain it JUST LIKE THIS... You Canadians really are living the dream.

We never had those kinds of materials available to us growing up, so we just skated on whatever ice surfaces were available to us at that time; even ice covered pavement. LoL! That is some real dedication by this individual to make an elite outdoor skating venue for all to enjoy. There's nothing better than outdoor pond hockey. Cheers!

I grew up with a child made skating rink that seemed to be 200 feet long but I'm guessing it was less than 50. We skated on it every winter here in northern Indiana. It doesn't get cold enough anymore and there was a house built on the property some time in the early 80s. Thanks for waking up good memories from my childhood. I really did have a great childhood.

Awesome job Rudi! People don't often realize how much work goes into turning the home pond into a rink. You did a great job. Cheers!

Neighbors on our canal made a push cart torch zambonie, one pushed and other carried propane tank and a beer. Love you guys doing it for the neighborhood kids, have a beer for me

This video brings back my memories 😊 Back in the day (80's) when winters in Poland were harsh and cold, pond rink was a favourite spot to hang out with schoolmates and enjoy ice hockey 🏒⛸️

Love it!.....maybe through an insulation blanket over your water tank though. Could help it heat up faster and stay that way longer.

Great job ! Only a Canadian could make a professional ice rink in the woods. I’m from Niagara Falls area. You may be a Canadian if you invent a homemade Zamboni from stuff from Canadian Tire.

That is the most impressive home made zamboni ever just awesome.

my dad was a very craftsy construction worker my entire childhood. he built our bunk beds, desks, he built hutches for my bunnies, he created his own watering system for his massive veggie garden, he made stepping stones with us. this definitely feels like something he would have figured out how to do just so we could have some fun on the ice! thank you for providing a small sense of nostalgia purely by being so committed to building your own zamboni 🥰

As somebody that doesn't watch hockey, yes I will watch somebody cleanup a pond for hockey.

Nice job man. I've been trying to come up with a way to get hot water on my 1 acre pond. Never even thought about the trough heaters. You may have just solved all of my issues. Thanks.
