Be sure to see the UPDATE video too! I saved $1000-$2000 on this sliding door project!! I made everything myself including making the hardware!! Everyone loves a barn type door in their home because they take up less space and are very functional. This sliding barn door is very quiet and smooth and can be build by using locally sourced and purchased material. Make this sliding barn type door for a large opening or a small opening. A sliding barn door will work for any size. This sliding door is perfect for regular sized homes or for tiny houses since there is no swing space needed. Sliding doors are compact.

Pimp My Tinnie – Part 1
In this video I change the steering wheel on The Green Machine. The original wheel had been on there for many, many years and was quite stuck so I had to resort to some destructive methods of removal. It was worth it though as the new steering wheel makes the boat feel so much better to drive.
During this video I use a bit of penetrating oil, a puller, a slide hammer and ultimately a drill to overcome the corrosion. By using these techniques in order you can ramp up your efforts until you get your steering wheel off. Changing a steering wheel is one of the quickest ways to make your boat more fun to drive so why not give it a go?
