Can I make Shelf Brackets?

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

I love the welds, they really look clean, the last part of the video shows the final product, and your video shows what it takes to get those results, great job!!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. I was really happy with the welds and the end result. Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment. It means a lot.

[@Mtbdrumrunner]

@@ManCrafting Absolutely!! Those brackets are beasts!!

[@ManCrafting]

Drum Runner thanks. I couldn’t agree more.

[@FredMcIntyre]

Awesome work Chad! 😃👍🏻👊🏻

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Fred. I hope you and the your family are doing well. Thanks for watching. I am grateful for your support. ❤️

[@HouseofChop]

Great video really shows what goes into making something common that we don’t pay much attention to normally. Also shows the absolute practicality of having this equipment around. Solutions both standard and custom are just a few mouse clicks away! 🔥👍🏼🔥

[@ManCrafting]

I think it also shows that making a simple item isn’t as simple as pressing start. Thanks for the support Phil. ❤️

[@HouseofChop]

ManCraftingTM Indeed. Proficiency in the software and the knowledge of the capabilities of the tools takes time to learn and master. Like anything else, there is a whole lot more to it than it looks on the surface.

[@yellowmuginc]

I won't recognize that basement when I see you next! ... Awesome video thank you for sharing all parts of the build! #keepmaking

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks for watching and taking a minute to comment Stu. Hopefully we will be traveling again soon.

[@WorksbySolo]

Wow! Great solution to a common frustration that many of us are going through now with shipping delays. Smart move on Greg’s part to use the sheet metal module. That worked out nice! Your videos keep getting better and better. Keep’em comin’!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Bernie. That means a lot. Currently I am a bit overwhelmed with the list of videos I want to do. Trying to knock them out though. When’s your next video dropping?

[@WorksbySolo]

ManCraftingTM Pretty soon. I’ve got several shot. Just need to edit.

[@ManCrafting]

Works by Solo good to hear. I always enjoy watching them.

Great job! On the brake fingers blue the side then scribe a line in the center and match it up to you scribed bend line from fusion and you will get a good bend location.

[@ManCrafting]

Jeff Lancaster thanks. I have blue dykum. Didn’t think about using it for this but that makes sense. The issue I had making these, was doing more than one at the same time. That many not even be realistic. I don’t have enough experience to know.

[@jodiegrosklags5247]

I absolutely love the shelves, they fit perfectly in the space and look fantastic. Great job Chad!

[@ManCrafting]

Glad you’re happy with the improvements. It makes me happy.

[@InteractiveRealm]

Nice beads on those welds!

[@ManCrafting]

I know that some people are way way better than me, but for the amount of time I’ve been welding I’m absolutely over the top happy with how they look. Thanks Jason. That made my day.

[@BruceAUlrich]

Really nice to be able to make brackets like this!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Bruce. Being able to design and fabricate shelf brackets, a sign, a part for a car, knife blanks, hooks for jackets, a new cover for my trailer hitch. It seems endless.

[@DaveGatton]

Nice job Chad. I'm diggin your Crossfire Pro.

[@ManCrafting]

Thank Dave. It’s pretty amazing to have the capacity to cut any ferrous metal repeatedly right here in my shop.

[@SpecificLove7]

I'm looking at getting into fusion and was happy to see this example, thanks.

[@ManCrafting]

If you take the time to become proficient at it, there are so many tools for digital fabrication that become easy to use. It’s worth the time investment for sure.

[@Mitermikeswoodshop]

Nice job Chad, looks like they will hold up for a long time.

[@ManCrafting]

They are solid to be sure. You won’t believe how different it is down there.

[@MarshWildman]

Looks good Chad. The only thing I’d do differently, and it’s entirely a point of preference, on the CAM setup I like the origin point to be a corner.

[@ManCrafting]

I think in the final version it was. This was the initial test piece to make sure it was going to cut right. And for some reason it may just not have been on camera, because it was on the front right corner as well. Not sure why it doesn’t show that.

[@BenBrandt22]

Great work Chad, they really blend in with their Amazon dopplegangers

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks Ben! How are things going? I hope you and the family staying safe and healthy. Crazy times we a tree living in.

[@jpwoodwork]

Awesome Chad, knew you could do it LOL

[@ManCrafting]

Haha. Well. You never know. I’m just as likely to post a fail video.

[@jpwoodwork]

@@ManCrafting True true

[@johngrosklags4251]

Looks great, cool equipment!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. You’ll be amazed the next time you come over. Total transformation.

[@emilygrosklags8729]

That’s so cool !!!

[@ManCrafting]

Thanks. ❤️

[@TheGarageEngineer]

Great design. Needs some powder coating.

[@ManCrafting]

I considered it, and that would likely be my comment to anyone doing what I just did. I was already feeling pressed for time and with the mill scale they were about the color I wanted so I went with an industrial steel finish. Hopefully I don’t regret that choice.

[@RestorationAustralia]

I love this Langmuir I want one. Not sure if I can afford it?

[@ManCrafting]

I couldn’t either but it’s the second I’ve owned and both have paid for themselves. Everyday I am amazed at what I can do with it. I bought the original and now the Pro.

[@emilygrosklags8729]

Love it daddy !!

[@ManCrafting]

Emily Grosklags the video or the fact that you can walk through that space without risking life and limb? 😜

[@tjs_welding_and_fabrication]

What is the magnetic tube that holds your material to remove the dross.

[@ManCrafting]

I just attached one of these to the crate. amzn.to/31hXRHs

[@tjs_welding_and_fabrication]

@@ManCrafting ha. Thats awsome Thanks.

[@jonbozzy9600]

How do you like that welding helmet? I’m looking at the oprel crystal 2.0 and esab sentinel.

[@ManCrafting]

I love it. It’s the best of the helmets I own, but I’m sure there are newer helmets from Optrel and ESAB that have even better tech. This one is three years old.

[@automaticprojects]

Great project and video, Chad! I wouldn’t have thought to put a mortise and tenon (or whatever the equivalent is called in metal), but it makes a lot of sense both for lining it up and holding it before welding (and probably adds strength too). Is the tool rest / holder you have for your MIG and TIG torch something you made or bought?

[@ManCrafting]

I suppose in metal it’s called tab and slot. But similar ideas. The MiG Torch holder was made by Jason Hughes SandHill CNC. Let me message him and see if he’s still making them.

[@Jay42Jay42]

wait wait wait wait. Those don't look powdercoated??? But they are level....I guess we can let it slide lol

[@ManCrafting]

I know. I know. If I saw anyone else do this I’d say the same thing. I was behind on the project and wanted the shelves up. It’s indoors so no concern for rust. I kind of liked the industrial unfinished look. Shows off the welds. I thought about clear.
