How to build a 55 gal concrete mixer.

My dad would make anything he needed or when repairing something. He simply was a genius and my go to for issues. I called him Papa MacGuiver. He would’ve loved your project, as do I. Thank you for showing step by step how you made it and demoing using it. Wonderful work!

My dad always told me to not be a consumer but a producer. You, sir, are a great producer! Great job.

Awesome video! Great audio notation and I love how you include the mishaps and modifications as well.

Excellent design and fabrication it really can't be improved upon. I would choose this mixer over a store bought model.

The idea of welding the chain to the bucket is really ingenious! Nice machine.:)

Awesome build! Thanks for documenting everything and throwing this video together for us. Love the project, going to go build my own now!

Just great!! Im in the mid of making one. Right after I saw your design... which is way better than mine... early in the morning tomorrow... I will have to tell the guy in d workshop to pend the work... until I give them a new design. Great tx, buddy!

Sweet design and build along with a good video and narration as a teenager working with my Father i hand mixed lots of concrete for a large addition on our Florida home that most homes in Florida are a concrete block construction. With a stucco finish The old man wouldn’t spring for a electric mixer since he had me a teenage boy to mix for him LOL yes it is a backbusting / tiring job Watching you guys use the mixer Really makes so much sense And using the motorcycle parts was a great idea

Thanks for taking time to share this. It's an interesting project. You did a good job narrating it too.

Super cool. Appreciate you taking the time to show how to make it. Parts descriptions are pretty vague making it hard to follow but still very rad you took the time to record it.

Love the idea, I wanted to make my own to help me make my tiny house when I go home after this lockdown.. Thanks for sharing

Great innovation. I have a spare 44 gall drum and which I will keep now that I've seen how practical they can be. NOTE to anyone trying to imitate Aceman's use of grinders without safety covers: BE EXTREMELY CAREFUL! Obviously Aceman is very experienced. My dad nearly severed his finger doing this with a small grinder and steel blade with the cover removed while cutting door architraves.

Great video mate, you've done a really good job.

I like this. Might end up making one for out work to be done later on the property/farm. Some ideas to think about: * Since using a DC powered motor: - you could actually reverse the motor for pouring. The same way a cement truck does. - slow it down for pouring * You have the fins in there already, just extend them a little closer to the opening to aid in pouring in reverse. Or add a 3rd row of them closer to the opening Great work above all! :) Good explanation, easy to hear (actually had to turn down the vol slightly), and clear videos.

Nice build. I like the motor cycle chain welded to the drum.

Salam from Azerbayjan. Very good design, work and presentation. Good luck on your future works.

Now this is a great idea! I was thinking of a dimmer switch when low and behold, you used one! :) The improvements you made were spot on, I noticed the issues as I was watching and you addressed them all... turned out very nice!

Great & excellent job. I must confess that I'm impress. It's so hard to only get the proper measurements for the barrel to fit in the frame and get the wheels to push perfectly on the drum, so it can roll whitout being out of alignment. It's often that we can manage to have the idea. But being able to create a perfect scaled plan in another thing. 2 thumbs up!!

if need be, to counter the weight against the bearing you could put a wheel on either side to run on the rim of the barrel so it doesn't have as much rearward thrust. great job.

Hey , great mixer, simple yet doing the job and has all build in thats needed for a cement mixer. Going to try this myself soon. thanx
