An amphibious ATV joins Grind Hard Plumbing Co's improbable garage
The week's only upload introduces a Chinese watercraft modeled on Gibbs' Quadski.

Will my FAKE Quadski Float?
The garage has another oddity. Grind Hard Plumbing Co's only new upload, "I Bought an Experimental Amphibious ATV!", introduces a purchase that fits neatly into a North Idaho operation known for making vehicles resist easy classification.
The description identifies it as a Chinese experimental watercraft based on Gibbs' Quadski, an amphibious machine designed for travel on land and water. The upload drew roughly 172,000 views in its first seven hours, and it is the channel's busiest video right now.
Viewers are already drawing up a workshop agenda. Some want holes repaired and the engine tuned; others propose a turbo or a quieter muffler. Several say they initially thought they had clicked on Edwin Olding's channel. The recurring request is for Ethan to turn the purchase into a more capable machine, making the comments something of an unofficial build brief.
Across the channel, weekly viewing reached about 2.2 million views, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is below its usual level, even with the new ATV attracting attention. Nearby in the building-and-DIY neighborhood, Project Farm is drawing a larger-than-usual daily audience, while UncleJhonn is also running below his typical pace.
The older projects offer a particularly Grind Hard contrast: a grapple with a built-in saw for the off-grid boulder cabin has passed a million views, while the Audi R8 desert pre-runner remains another active draw. Cabin equipment, a repurposed sports car and an amphibious experiment make quite a parking arrangement.
