Another good one Matt in the continuing saga of the camelback drill press! Full watch Matt!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@tractortalkwithgary1271 Many thanks Gary!

[@gregoryskaggs656]

Looks GOOD! I couldn't see how it was going to come together, but now it really makes sense. You certainly have an "engineer's mindset", and I mean that in a positive way.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Ha! Thanks Greg

[@timwindsor03]

Awesome video brother MATT. Thanks for sharing. Keep the content coming. Hope you have an incredible day. Much love and RESPECT

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@timwindsor03 Have a great week Tim!

[@jankotze1959]

Great work Matt, your your measurements and cutting is very professional, I am impressed with the angles worked out perfectly

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Many thanks Jan!

[@seldendaniel8819]

At my age, my problem is remembering things! Nice work.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Me too 😂Thanks!

[@briankinnear7461]

Some great work. Be safe and stay well.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Many thanks Brian!

Looks Good Matt, if it flexes some you could add some leveling bolts and pads around it, but yes it looks pretty strong, thanks Matt enjoyed it

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@greenmule Good options for sure. Thanks!

[@terrycannon570]

It does make it much harder to build something to match the material you have rather than buying the material to match the job you need to build. I run into that a lot but I would rather do that than spend the money on the outrageous material prices now days. You have seen my inventory behind my shop. I take pride in re-purposing. Sub base looks great. Better safe than sorry. those old Camel backs are just waiting to fall over on you.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@terrycannon570 Thanks Terry. All the metal in this project are leftovers from the screen house project.

[@RustyGlovebox]

Nice design, that will help keep a low center of gravity. 👍

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Next video in the series will show the drill press mounted to it. Thanks Lloyd!

[@firehousecustomfab3286]

Nice job Matt, it looks good

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@firehousecustomfab3286 thanks Steve!

[@hilltopmachineworks2131]

Looks like you made a creeper for a large mechanic. LOL. 6011's are also fast freeze rods which means the puddle wont run in out of position welding.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

[@davidsoldiron]

It's looking good!!!

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@davidsoldiron thanks Dave!

[@ronkluwe4875]

Matt - Looks good and thanks for the reference. BTW, both you and I are too old to skateboard, LOL. Regards.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

Ha! 😂👍 Thanks Ron!

[@MillCreekFabShop]

Well that turned out super nice. Plenty of Clarence. PS. You are now a professional welder with that weld you showed us. I like how you skate boarded there. Go to the skate park and show off your skills 😅

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@MillCreekFabShop I’ll kill myself trying to skateboard that thing 😂. Thanks Joey!

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

6011.… Works in every position, blows slag in every position... Especially if you are in a space and can't move.. Looks like you're going to drag race with the drill press 😜🤪

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin I just switched to 6013 and am having much better results with this structural channel iron

[@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin]

@@mattthescrapwhisperer lol.. 6013 is so much better!! But they all have their place.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@GosselinFarmsEdGosselin True!

[@TheShadeTreeFixitMan]

So you are building a lowrider? Too bad you don't have chrome wheels on your ride. If you have the room, wider would be better for your top heavy rig. Nice work Matt.

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

@@TheShadeTreeFixitMan I never thought about sourcing chrome dumpster casters 🧐. Spoiler alert: the drill press is sitting on it now and it works great! Thanks George
