Building a dozer rake! 🥵👨🏼‍🔧👨🏼‍🏭

[@BlueDay-nu1er]

Nice work! Rake tuned out awesome! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 You had your helper there with you for a little bit lol. Enjoyed the video. 😃😃😃

[@Lonestardiggin]

I think for my first rake and no plans it did lol just hope my welds hold up! Ha ha yes not just my helper but my better half! Maybe one day she won’t be camera shy 😍. I get more views with her in my videos 😂😂😂

@@Lonestardiggin Well, ain’t that sweet! Maybe one of these days she’ll come around lol! 😆

[@brianhubbard1621]

Looks like a good design , hope it works

[@Lonestardiggin]

Thank you sir! I learned a lot building it and won’t make those mistakes again lol. Thanks for the comment!

I lost use of my right arm when I severed my bicep and rotator cuff in a fall. I learned if I wrap the welding lead around my arm 3 times, it takes the weight of the lead off of my wrist and I have more control of my welds. Just a thought for you maybe to try. Keep going and keep strong.

[@Lonestardiggin]

Oh wow. Were you right handed to start? That’s a good idea thanks! I know up on a ladder I’ll stand on the lead so I’m not holding all that weight lol. I’ll definitely give it a try! I appreciate it sir! Thank you and you as well!

Brachial Plexus injury? I have a BPI from motorcycle accident in 2005. Doesn’t look like it slows you down! Sub’ed. Cheers!

[@Lonestardiggin]

Yes sir! Well I had 5 nerve root evulsion. Ripped all 5 nerves out of my spine where they can’t repair it really. Mine was on a four wheeler in 2004. I try to not let it slow me down lol some days my pain is pretty bad. I appreciate the sub 👍🏻. We should chat sometime!

[@DigginLife21]

🔥🔥🔥 that’ll be a nice addition

[@Lonestardiggin]

Thank for the comment! So far it’s been really good. Nxt video it may be it in action! Definitely takes faster than my skid loader with a 7’ rake lol

[@gs1717]

great video, thanks for the new ideas maybe something for my excavator

[@Lonestardiggin]

Thank you sir! Awesome! Glad to help with some ideas. I’m always looking for good ideas to save money lol thanks for the comment!

[@Mhurtle65]

Nice man...

[@stoker7211]

You might see an improvement in your welds if you use a grounding clamp instead of a magnet. I saw intermittent arcing coming from under the ground contact point. It's got to be causing irregular current flow.

[@Lonestardiggin]

Thank you for the info! I did notice it doing that but I just thought it might be normal lol. And I just thought it was my crappy welding skills 😂😂😂. Thanks for commenting sir!

[@teampsi]

Hell yeah

[@tristardiggin]

Cool project! Should work well…

[@Lonestardiggin]

Hopefully my welds hold 😂 thanks for the comment brother!

[@alexanderklein2902]

How was the sun burn on your right hand? You should find a way to wear gloves at least while welding😊

[@Lonestardiggin]

Ha ha it gave me a few new freckles with the burn 😂 I know I should sir. I honestly don’t like gloves but for my skin and less burns I should lol. Just takes more time putting it on and taking off since I have only one working hand but I should protect it more!

[@roykyle7098]

YOU HAVE A VERY STEADY HAND WITH THAT CUTTING TORCH, I WOULD NEED A STRAIGHT EDGE.

[@Lonestardiggin]

Ha ha thank you! Them cuts were not the cleanest or fastest lol. It just gives more to weld to when it’s not clean 😂😂😂 I’ve thought about doing the straight edge lol
