good afternoon everyone and welcome back
to jimbos garage well today we got
welding video for you guys and I can I
asked me if I could help them make some
brackets.
these aren't everything these aren't
your ordinary racket Peter super
heavy-duty bracket we're going to use in
2-inch by 360 angle iron and also 2 inch
by half inch flat bar plate will show
you how it all goes together let's get
started
alright so we get started here cut the
two inch angle and we're using the fine
14 inch longer metal cut off saw this
thing is amazing it cuts through this
stuff with ease now we've got 18 are
we've got eight brackets each bracket is
taking two pieces of angle iron so
they're 16 pieces and each piece has cut
a 45 on each end and a straight cut on
the other and you can see how we're
cutting 45 right here and then we go to
the straight pieces right there and it
certainly didn't take very long
this thing really is amazing it really
cuts through this metal light like
butter and there's all the pieces all
cut and once that too in Chiang line
pieces were cut
I went right to the half inch plate now
I tried to cut the half inch plate with
cut-offs all work fine but i thought
that this would be a much faster way to
go this is the everlast power plasmas
60s that i have here and you can see
that this is half inch plate and it cuts
the stuff pretty easily
I've cut up to one inch plate without
too much problem at all and you can see
that I've got a straight piece of flat
bar stock i'm using for a straight edge
right here and I just run the side of
the plasma cutter along that straight
edge and that cuts a pretty straight cut
this is real-time right here so you can
see the actual cut itself you know it
gets pretty clean but when it goes
through it leaves the dross on the other
side which is easily chipped off and
you'll see that here in a little bit and
here we are cutting all the pieces again
16 pieces we need for the angles and
there you see you just a couple of hits
with the children and you can see how
clean those cuts are worked out pretty
good
now these are the seven half-inch pieces
we need for the upper brackets and again
clouds will put a plasma cutter right
through there pretty good and then just
cleaning him up with ease and after we
got all those pieces cut I just done i
took him over to the belt sander and I
didn't really need to do this they were
so clean but i just wanted to take the
sharp edges off all the pieces and i
gotta say that down that worked out
really good
ok well there it is very powerful little
while cutting with the mellow out saw
and clouds because what we hear we were
able to get all the pieces cut and now
we got some drawing to do quite a bit of
your own we're going to be able to use
the drill press and Matt grill and then
we got the assembly so let's get started
and get this project finished
I got Mike on the drill browse she's
drilling the 516 hole in that in the 2
inch angle iron and I'm not among the
the mag drill you can see I'm using some
rapid caps right there that's cutting
oil i really like using that what i like
about it is it's got that long skinny
neck and you just adjust it puts the
perfect little drop-down spot that you
need but you can see any dwe 1622
managerial by The Walt is just cutting
through this half inch plate i'm using a
716 drill bit right here this is real
time and you can see it just cuts such a
precision perfect smooth hole every time
I love this thing I I never thought I'd
use as much as i do it worked out really
good and here it is the five sixteenths
on the drill press
you know we had a bunch of holes to
drill on there
yeah that worked out pretty good also
had to drill some 516 sold to the half
inch bar stock right here and take a
little bit of time but we managed to get
through it pretty good so I also had to
drill some 716 soul in the 2 inch angle
for the mounting bracket bolts that
we're going to be using and you can see
how utilized for my well-being cable and
just activate the magnet on the grill
and man it just works out perfect
ok so we managed to get all hundred
eight holes drilled unfortunately too
many 28 holes too many once again made
no mistake the way out on these holes
you see we had a double drill i actually
originally laid out on the wrong side of
the angle with death over for Mike he
wasn't too happy about having to
matching 20 in the hole that are um we
could fix it and that's what we're gonna
do the world really solid ground flat
you'll never even know anything happens
just a mistake sir a bummer
trust me i'm making a phone but well as
many mistakes as you make fix them as
fast as I make himself
everybody makes mistakes but you know
what it took us a little bit of time to
drill these holes out and it took us a
lot less time to fix it and as you can
see i just went with mcgann and just a
little circular motion around those
holes and left a little button bead
right there which is absolutely perfect
and i went ahead and did that on both
sides and and fill the hole up
completely and then all there's left to
do is just get the flap gifting going
and Grandal things down and so I gave
Mike as I stitch finish your welcome
likes on grindr on the grinder and the
whole thing took maybe 15 minutes to fix
so we got that behind us and now we're
moving forward
ok so we're starting assembly right now
and you know I've got this corner of ice
that i got from yas these things are
lifesavers usually really work well for
for all kinds of t joints or 90 degree
angles like this it just makes for
perfect clamp for a perfect 90 degrees
so that's what we're using here in these
are the two materials were going
together just going to put it well right
down the side here and then we've got a
cross brace this piece a half inch by
two mammoth piece of metal is going to
go inside here and that's going to
create cost base where the world end and
then that's going to be one of eight
brackets so let's do it
ok so i'm going to be using the everlast
top power big 205 here and I've got to
the settings you know about about Meg
welding here and it's all about the
settings
we're going to be running this at about
19 volts and about 300 inches per minute
on
wire feet now every machine is different
for me that's what works good for the
application we're doing right here
you'll see that it just lays in there
really nice for your machine or
different machines that they're all
different but that's what we're using
today we're using 30,000 wire so let's
do it all right well you might be
noticing i got a new welding jacket for
vsx black stallion they make a number of
these jackets for a number of different
applications i love the way they fit
love the way they feel they're super
comfortable and you'll be seeing me
where these jackets throughout the
course of the year
ok so you know we talked about
manipulations to get that stack of Dimes
look if you will notice offers a
different ways especially mig welding
you know a lot of people like to do
circles or sees i prefer the little e
Wilkerson be start making circle with a
long kale stop circle long scale stop
stop
and this is what turns out that works
really good three especially you know I
thought it's all about the settings to
get the settings right well you're going
to be good alright so where I go ahead
and start wellness out this is that weld
on the outside corner joints and we
moved to the inside the brackets not
here you're seeing what I'm talking
about about that the little Smalley
person fear right there you can see the
motion of the welding torch so I don't
have one of those cameras like a lot of
these welding guys you but maybe i will
soon enough but i'd love to be able to
show you that in it so you can actually
see the motion there but I think you get
the pretty good idea you can see right
there how that works in the consistency
of it and it just lays down because
that's all about the settings that lays
down with you get the settings Russian
plays a nice be down again the inside
corner joints outside corner
I and inside as well and both sides of
the bracket and we had eight pieces to
do right here and once i got a method
down and it worked out pretty good the
first two were kind of slow but once we
got it figured out it
that we roll to there pretty quick
ok so when you guys do a lot of
repetitive welding for a long period of
time you you might be able to see the
end of your your your maid gun might get
look up gummed up with a lot of splatter
and stuff in there and sometimes that
will restrict the the gas flow and
actually prevent you from making up
pretty decent world so I just carry a
yeah you know those tools for this they
got Flyers I got special you know mid
gun tools for this but i just use a
small all right here and just be able to
just get in there and a couple little
couple little looks with that just
cleans it out really good just go around
the outside and I always have a pair of
body I candy just to just a trim the
excess long wire was pretty good
alright so here we are how doing some of
the same repetitiveness it right here
and like I said once once i started
going here and get the rhythm of things
I definitely had Mike right behind me as
i was welcomed out he was clamped them
together and as soon as I finish William
hand them over to him and he does start
grinding and cleaning them out then so
in this case it that we had a lot to do
is all about teamwork worked out really
well see that that is a mess right there
ok
ok
ok
ok one of the very last bracket here
we've got the brackets of the other kind
where we're making all these or eight
more of the brackets are going to be
used for the roof structure that's going
to be holding now now this floor that's
going to be both George concrete wall
and this parts going to have a little
bit of a a roof type of flat roof type
to it so it's going to have a little bit
of a pitch to it so we've got is three
feet we've got about three quarters 21
inch and a big this little jig right
here that's going to help us to assembly
that these things real fast we're just
going to slide it right here in the
corner and our kids going to be built in
mr. weld up
alright so this will be the last of the
the brackets here this is the 2-inch by
half-inch thick plate you know we've got
a tease and you can see that there were
just putting this thing together right
here Michael show me how he wanted it
now is going to work best for him and so
a couple of tacks on each corner there
and then well down the middle and then
the corner brace in there a weld on both
sides to hold that corner brace in place
and you can see the template right here
that worked out really good for getting
that angle that we needed on there and
once I got the first couple down the
other six
well they went pretty smooth and these
brackets here or a little bit more
easier to put together then the other 12
inch angle once I got used to it that he
went by pretty quick right here
and then there you can see we're almost
to the end of the project right here in
south as I can weld together
Mike was cleaning them up and we're
almost done
you know as a matter of fact we're
moving along here pretty good another 60
more we could have done that left after
time but there they are the brackets are
complete and i gotta say these are some
really serious bracket they're gonna be
no failure here whatsoever turned out
really good is a great little project
