I like the look of that! Does it also form a chase through the center for lamp wires?
@dougthompsonmetalcraft 2 күн бұрын
Yes, the open center is perfect for the wire chase.

What thickness/dimension would you suggest?
@dougthompsonmetalcraft 2 күн бұрын
This was 1 inch angle iron that started out 36 inches long and we ended up with about 20 twisted inches after cutting off the ends. You can do some experiments with different materials.

Just an ole school American Metal Fabricator!!! Don't need any fancy $35K Fab Table with all the little special clamps and fixtures. Just a place to work, some steel, a welding machine and your BRAIN. Oh and if you do end up needing a special press or die, just build it!!! Love it!

Wish we had seen a bit of the inserts you put into them after the crushing. I'm a big fan of crushing tubes for effect. I crushed some aluminum tubing and then used it as the supports for a bathroom shelf, adding a bunch of character to something that is normally just simple and plain.

Okay, but whij welding and not drilling and tapping holes and then screw from underneath the base plate?
@dougthompsonmetalcraft Ай бұрын
The welds hold the struts securely to the vertical plate, and passing the threaded sections through the holes and securing with nuts allows for the base plate to be removed from the vertical plate to accommodate chroming. Tapped holes would be compromised during chroming. Thanks for watching!

Just found this channel and your shop is absolutely heaven for a guy like me. The miter station was exactly something I've needed to do for a while and finally I got some very good ideas making one. The measuring system on it... absolutely beautiful for the simplicity!

Great process. Wish you had shown a longer shot of the finished piece!
@dougthompsonmetalcraft Ай бұрын
That is a really good suggestion. We are learning as we go with the videos, and we will try to include better/longer shots of finished pieces as we go forward. Thank you for your ongoing interest!

Having just watched this video, I have to ask why you put the diagonal support in from top to bottom rather than the other way round when it would be in compression. Considering that all your processes are very well thought out, this seems counter intuitive.
@dougthompsonmetalcraft Ай бұрын
When I make wood gates I put the diagonal support in compression, but with metal gates, and given the relatively small size of the tubing, I put the diagonal in tension.

Why did you go with 16ga if it has a frame? Seems like a lot of weight going with such thick sheet stock.
@dougthompsonmetalcraft Ай бұрын
The choice of material was driven by aesthetics. We wanted to use hot rolled steel, which was available in 16 gauge, to match other elements in the kitchen. Thanks for your interest.

If you don't want to pull out the metric tape, you can get an engineer's scale tape that is in base 10 vs the regular tapes that are fractional. Thanks for another glimpse into how you work. You really have an amazing grip on metalwork and fabrication. Please keep the videos coming!

Funny how your buddy also named Doug kind of speaks in a similar sort of style to you. Nice repair. I've repaired cast iron stuff with silicon bronze before and generally had good luck. Obviously highly depends on what you're repairing (ornamental vs functional as one example).
