New stake driver
Have to give old Ed credit for coming up with this idea, and it works great, while the driver we built looks like the one in the video, Ed had a good idea, to put 5 or 6 large plastic ties in ours to help hold the stake from falling out, in case you lift up on it, we have had some fall out in the water before you could get it in the water. just drill 3/8" holes around like shown and put the extra large plastic ties through the holes and tape them in..... we left the head on the plastic tie to keep it from going on through and cut them off about 1 1/2" long as shown in the pic. holds stakes just fine......

Wood block
Do you fellas have any problems with your little round wood block busting up? I made a couple of those drivers that we used this spring...and after a boat load of stakes we destroyed one driver and pretnear busted up the second one.
In hindsight...the plywood we used woulda been fine if we were pushing the stakes in the ground....but not for driving!

We used a piece of
3/4" oak plywood for the driver and have not had a problem yet but we have only drove about 150 stakes so far......oh I mean Ed has only drove about 150. I am the loader (sit on my butt kinda job)..:D

Gonna need a rebuild.......
Oak plywood just has a pretty venier on it compared to regular plywood.
I got some 5/4 oak boards....might have to cut me some round pieces outta that and give it a try. I sure did think the 3/4" plywood woulda stood up better than it did.
Two of us put down around 300 stakes with two drivers......the guy with me might have drove 100 before he busted his driver. The guy breaks stuff....it's what he does. Right Jon? LOL

No problem driving on this end
Ed drives about 5 or 6 and is pooped out so ours never gets hot.........:D my 3/4" oak plywood came out of one of them high dollar 4x8' sheets back when I built a car body out of it..... like $65 a sheet, good stuff..... had some nice size scraps I held onto........
