Welding Rig Oxygen Bottle Rack and Acetylene Bottle Placement

[@Dale.welder]

Austin, I made the best decision to join 798💯…if I didn’t mention I’m a welder helper and I’m learning alot‼️

[@dennisfant2620]

Watching this bed build reminds me of when I was a kid in the 70's helping and watching my Pa Pa build truck beds, cattle trlrs, horse trlrs log truck bunks. Headache racks. He would have liked to seen this. I always tell a funny story on me. First time I seen him take 6011 and cut expanded metal with that. It just amazed me! Because, your supposed to weld with a stinger! Not cut with it! And also that's where I learned REAL QUICK not to put a welding rod in a stinger with wet cowboy boots on! And then Ma Ma ringing that cow bell down at the house to come and eat dinner. Great times gone by! Thanks for posting this build and rekindling great memories sir.

[@owentravis3519]

I just ordered the 50 piece soap stone and holder last week. I just want to thank you for the quality of the product, and quickness that I received it. As well as the gifts inside! Awesome, thank you!

[@arosswelding]

It’s our pleasure! Thank you for ordering!

[@kerryevans7413]

You are making great progress on the welding bed. It's coming along nicely.

[@seantipton2256]

Just like those 2 bottles of oxygen, that stuff is key for flavor! Totally agree, way better out of a mug. I've gotten good at turning my right arm into an independent suspension for a classic mug while driving. Thanks for these videos and sharing all the knowledge you've gained. I start school in the fall!

[@arosswelding]

🤣 I love it! I can totally relate to that independent suspension. That is just too great. And that is exciting that you start school soon!

[@matthewglerum]

Sweet! First comment on this vid, what an honor!! Diggin' watching this build series. I look forward to each next release.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

That was great Austin, it's coming together and getting closer . Thanks for sharing with us, stay safe and keep up the great work. Fred.

[@TheDjBdawg]

You can countersink those rod boxes to give you more flat surface. Hide the tanks under the bed so it’s easier to load. But I don’t know if that would work . That’s some nice quality craftsmanship!

[@oldlincolnpipewelder]

In my experience, coffee tastes better ground fresh from whole bean and brewed in a French press or pour over. Using bottled smart water helps also, even though it’s extremely wasteful. You’ll get all the flavor possible once you get the grind size and brewing process down pact.. As far as welding and fabrication goes, another excellent video as always Austin.

[@georgewelker853]

Reverse osmosis filtered water is drastically less expensive and wasteful but it’s still a great coffee brewing material. And absolutely does taste better from a traditional mug. Stainless steel actually carries a ton of flavors that sometimes are very yucky to the quality of the beverage being consumed…. The glass that coats a mug will shed extra flavors much easier 😊

[@austinburnett9189]

Great vid! Pipeline work is picking back up you planning on getting on a job soon? Miss the pipeline videos!

[@eharris6347]

Dude I think he makes more $$$ Doing fences and building beds Than pipelining

[@branchandfoundry560]

You're right, buddy, about the coffee. I use a Yeti cup to keep my coffee warm and avoid spills on the road, but it tastes better from a mug for sure! Now if only Yeti would make an insulated ceramic mug.

[@tumbleweedoutdoors1776]

I like how you put the hose reel over the bottles

[@FLORIDACRACKA101]

What size acetyene tank and oxygen tanks do yall run on your trucks?

[@philipclark6841]

I saw a TikTok and thought of you. Some dude was using a hot wheels car under his torch hand to make sliding and bracing easier. Kinda off topic but anywho.

[@neilheriot2361]

Man oh man you have a smooth torch hand, even after gettin all hacked up on the java👌

[@loft306]

Yes, "slow down and think about it", because slow is fast. And once you start moving again you can do it in as few movements as possible and by the end of the day you're flying.

[@SamMarsh_828Outdoors]

What were the dimensions and hole size for the bottle rack! Love the design!

[@Joe___R]

The likely reason you think coffee tastes better from a cup without a lid is because that allows you to get the full aroma while drinking. Scent has a great effect on how you perceive taste.

[@quentincook5966]

U think u could make a vid abt fluxcore mig?

[@MrWeldWell]

Fine job there ol son

[@youngguns1319]

I was thinking about doing a same tank bottle box but make it so it’s a big draw that can pull out on the passenger side and that way you could put your fuel bottle on the driver side so that both gauge sets are on the driver side so you don’t have to walk around to both sides to turn them on and you can still get your oxygen tanks out with out moving your fuel bottle or flip it around to the other side if you prefer your welding leads on the driver side or just double stack your oxygen and then you got even more room to put a pack rat pull out tool box draw if you need more space I mainly do heavy equipment welding and fab work so I need a lot of hand tools to take things off and on so I’m always wanting as much useable space for storage as I can have and I like keeping the back 1/4 of the bed flat for a work bench and I have a 1/2” plate that’s a foot by 3 foot long that slides in and out like a diving board that I use to cut things on like small things or clamp things to and I also got 2x2 square holes in the back of the bed that I can slip my bench grinder into and pin it if I need to use that a lot that day but can put it back in the side box when I’m done to keep it out of the rain but I also ran out let boxes built into the bed that are powered off a cord running to my welder so I don’t have to have 100 ration cords laying out when facing something at the back of the bed

[@mattdickey5493]

Excellent video gave me a few ideas for my bottle rack. Noticed that on ur vice there was a flat plate mounted behind the jaws. How did you mount it to the vice.

[@davidkenworthy7548]

Not a big fan of lead wells where water & snow can get in, just my opinion, also my opinion is absolute beautiful job, love the quartered pipe fenders

[@alroth6308]

he has drains, but with theft so common these days, reels up high (tho more easy when dragging long leads) only invite copper theft and are rarely used these days. also gone are the days of gun racks from decades ago

[@jeniferhasten8165]

Say bro just watched ur video just reminded me I worked with u a couple jobs I was a helper I went thru our school but ain’t been no work anyhow I was trying to get ideas for my welding trailer build cause my trucks down I’m sure us remember me I just don’t know who’s profile I’m on mine or my wifes

[@dsmreloader7552]

Very curious to know what this is going to weigh when completed. It is sure built like a tank!

[@MrWeldWell]

hence the extra tires on the truck ;-)

[@alroth6308]

I was thinkn same as 1/4 plate at 10lb/sf with austin pickin up large pieces as if it was light gage metal

[@williambanas2831]

@@alroth6308 Young guys can do that, at 72 years old and 3 back surgeries I've learned that the 2 wheel dolly and the engine hoist is your friend.

[@youngguns1319]

Ford just a welding rig it’s really not that bad on that truck now if you have to carry alot of tools yeah weight saving is the way to go but my dads old rig had 1/4 plate never had to worry about rusting out lol and or denting it

[@larrykeel2739]

Freaking awesome job sir and I have the same pipeliner hood as you and have had it since 1990 it’s my favorite one out of all of the ones I have nice looking truck

[@tomthompson7400]

gets better by the day

[@juanar6233]

Looking very nice, is weight a factor for you?

[@timmywarren2349]

Very good Video 👍 👍

[@masonlyons8542]

Looking great bud

[@TaylorFutch]

Hey Austin slick bed! In the process of building one myself just hung up on building the bumper pull receiver hitch is there anyway you could do a video about that??

[@evanchadwick1580]

Hey just curious I’m building that same one just wondering the specs on the box?

[@thomasculver2403]

Just wondering why you like the small 2x4 shield on your helmet instead of the larger ones by the way nice job on the welding bed👍

[@boobooedmondson8835]

I asked my step dad why does he keep buying cheap hoods with the big auto darkening lense ? He said so I can see what I'm doing . He has 8 dirty old hoods laying around with the same commen problem. They are dirty and can't see anything through them. He is a sometimes welder. He never cleans or replaces the clear lenses. And rarely has a clear lense on the inside. Last time I welded at his shop I took my hood that iv been using for 25 years now. It's had 2 Lincoln auto darkening lense that lasted 20 years now. They didn't perform as well as the Arc 1 lense iv had for the last 5 years It has never done anything wrong. By far the best auto darkening lense I've ever used. I have a curved plastic clear lense in the front and a flat glass clear lense on the inside to protect the lense. When get a little bit of anything on those clear lenses I take them out and clean them, or replace them. It sucks wearing a heavy hood on your head all day. 2x4 lenses are lighter.

[@swimmer6890]

I’ve heard part of taste is the smell. Makes sense it may taste better out alot a mug.

[@scottjune3554]

Nice build 👌

[@heftylefty4054]

That bed is awesome. I need one of these for my 1987 welding truck! Just curious how much this is gonna cost when completed?

[@DazFab]

Thats looking great.

[@arosswelding]

Thank you

[@ProspectorsGhost]

I always drink my morning coffee out of a ceramic Captain Morgan Beer mug with no lid. It always tastes great. Do I add a wee bit o' Captain Morgan to that coffee every now and then?? - Well..........., I'll let y'all ponder upon that one a wee bit, LOL

[@DillonMW]

Your channel seems to have more ads than network television haha.

[@РинатИсламов-л6к]

Очень приятно смотреть работу профи !!! Только я не пойму зачем делать все из толстого железа по итогу машина тяжеленная получится

[@russelljackson7034]

Right on

[@boostzilla460]

are you going to make a complete video when your all done?

[@blueelectricfusion]

open coffe has a chance to oxidize and it changes the flavor 😅 oils/volitiles may seperate later after brew

[@samuelscragg7052]

Absolutely coffee tastes better out of a mug

[@F1v30h1]

Why not put the welder above the oxygen bottles? Seems like you could save some space for more tool storage or whatever you want....

[@TBizzell68]

Coming right along

[@okiedoke6373]

Austin I've tried every way there is possible to keep from banana or curling a plate especially when you're trying to cut strips of used plasma cutters I've use torches something as big as you're cutting out there will dish eat straightening is the only way I know of to fix it the only thing I've used that doesn't really affect the plate is a cold cut saw and then it depends on which way you're going some material will pull some material want and I don't believe it's anything but in the material when you making the cut you're making a stress relief and it is naturally going to where it wants to go so with the song If you're going with the grain in a little curl and you'll have to wedge it open to keep from smashing a blade if you're going against the grain I haven't noticed any pulling or curling of the plate

[@okiedoke6373]

Do you have Facebook

[@aldocastillo91]

How long has e u been planning this out. Those welds are on point

[@peetky8645]

I thought bottles had to be transported upright?

[@juliusjohnson3177]

I can confirm that no lid makes coffee effect instant and 10x more potent.

[@urbexnation7656]

Why would you put oxyacetylene on a angle if it’s unstable like that

[@paulusmarc]

Bon, Boulo👍👍😄😄

[@northwestgaming4049]

For some reason I can't help but remember someone saying that you shouldn't store acetylene on its side due to oil, but I may remember wrong.

[@arosswelding]

Ya, acetylene is suppose to stand up

[@OlmanEg]

Coffee has to have no lid for me. Only way to drink it 😊

[@joedoakes8307]

Is this Bed for Your Truck OR , for a customers truck ?

[@arosswelding]

For a customer

[@Comm0ut]

If you want to be kinder to your back (and not end up like me, disc damage ends careers!) one way would be mod the rack so you can shove the bottles in from the passenger side by placing them against the bed then lifting from the bottom while the truck takes a little then all of the weight as you tip the cylinders in. How you keep them centered is your call but a couple of short pieces of round bar etc would get it done. Your back is worth more than all your equipment and vehicles. I get to meet other gents from all sorts of careers when I go to monthly pain management and you do NOT want to join us! Any trick you can manage to not lift more weight than you must is worth considering because they don't make repair rods for people!

[@phillip1489]

Should the acceltalyne bottle be laying on its side🤔

[@namarhodge568]

I may be wrong, but I thought both oxygen and acetylene bottles were required to at least be on a slant if they couldn't be upright. Are there any real rules to them?

[@joeytxfishing8600]

The acetylene is upright. 2 horizontal oxy

[@phildegruy9295]

Always better from a mug!

[@bigsway4414]

Everybody wants to be a great welder. But a lot of the stuff you do would not be possible if you weren’t a great hand torch operator…

[@namarhodge568]

You are doing a fantastic first-class job on that truck bed. But for me, the guard for the cab is a little on the skimpy side. Just me thinking out loud.

[@johnschmidt2964]

Why don’t you guys use any aluminum when making these. Looks so heavy, and gonna rust out.

[@markfree5248]

👍🏻

[@5barkerstreet]

still not done with it

[@shortfuse43]

I agree coffee tastes better from a mug. It's proven that taste is largely smell. Hold your nose when you eat or drink something strong...you probably can't identify the taste. Using a mug allows you to also smell the coffee whereas a slotted cup blankets your smell. Ain't I smart?🙃

[@213_tom]

1/4 inch place seems excessive for most of what you're using it for. Just my opinion.

[@jackclark1994]

please tell me you're not actually going to lay acetylene bottles on their side to use..... you run the risk of introducing acetone or whatever the stabilizer is, into your torch, removing it from the tank and potentially causing the acetylene to de-stabilize. there's a reason they tell you to wait a while after standing a tank back up... it's also why they transport them standing up...

[@arosswelding]

Those are the oxygen bottles. The acetylene is standing up. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWK3g56da6-Wd80si=xxOM75QdEBjeTVre 18:00

[@jonathangarzon2798]

Can you talk about regulations from DOT, also what effects does it have on the acetylene

[@steveearly2272]

It’s not on the side.

[@alroth6308]

so where's the integrated BBQ grill I've seen on many a rig hand rigs? (of course made from pipe on many old school rigs)..... maybe Austin can hook/colab up with KosmoQ (another stillwater area utuber doing BBQ) regarding upgraded pipeliner BBQ skills and ultimate rig hand bbq rig on truck or even austin discussing with another stillwater business of Kicker of the ultimate rig sound system for use while layin down metal.....who knows maybe ag engineer joe davidson (founders of oklahoma joes smokers) or his brother roger if still in area to discuss their opinion of the best bbq equip with austin and kosmo q)
