It walks through selecting shank thickness with a drill-bit trick, cutting flat bar, spacing six teeth, three-pass welding technique, mounting wings, and bolting it to the bucket, then shows a week of real-world use breaking up hard-packed soil. Best for owners with a welder who want to save money instead of buying one.

Place the shank on the bucket flush at the bottom, then slide drill bits underneath it until snug. This gives an exact, infinite-range measurement more accurate than a tape measure.
Three passes: a root pass and two overlay passes on top, since the Hobart 140 is not powerful enough to weld it in a single pass.
Top-attach teeth let you punch the pin through the top or bottom easily. Side-attach teeth need a special tool or awkward punch work around nearby teeth, making maintenance harder.
Yes, the video states it is much cheaper than buying one and you can save over half the price of a normal tooth bar if you have a welder.
