Cantilever Metal and Wood Rack

I've been trying to get more organized in the barn and something I've really been missing is a big rack to store all my wood and metal on. I bought some 4" x 8" H-Beams and set them up in the CNC plasma cutting table to cut all the holes on the face, which the arms bolt to. I set up a jig to weld all the arms, which I made from 2x4" rectangular tubing. To weld the cross bracing, I clamped two of the uprights down to the table and welded the cross bracing in place attached to them. The rack got a coat of paint and then it was set up in the back corner of the barn, once things were cleaned up. The new rack is going to hold a lot of material and should go a long ways towards helping me get more organized.

damn man your mom is a machine! Big Respect

I didn't expect another video for a while after you made that weight set. Nice surprise!

I’m watching this with my 2yr old son, while you’re doing the test fit of the frame, he’s yelling “careful! Careful!” 😂

[@JoeCubicle]

Good ol' Mom! Mine was a farm-girl that could work circles around most and was the toughest person I've ever known. She went home April 19, 2019. I think about her every day.

Well if you ever need to store the forklift, on top of that rack will be just fine. Built like a TANK. Cool shop, lighting is fantastic

Your priorities seem in the right order. I have a priority 1A/prime directive, do not die. When building stuff.

[@joeevora1674]

Helpful tip; If your welding table top plate is perfectly square, you can drill and tap some 3/8 holes around the perimeter. This allows you to bolt on tabs where needed for 90* corners and such. It was a game changer for my table. I used 3/8” x 16.

“Mama Rainfall” This son of yours has some mad skills! Not many I’ve come across has his kind of talent, and at his age makes it even more impressive. Major respect from an old man who has seen much.

[@scream221]

He's got skill no doubt. But I'm way more impressed by the willingness to go for those huge projects and than actually finishing them without compromising the quality. Those things are built to outlast his kids.

Nice job! We make certain to overbuild things that are going to be required to handle such heavy loads. That way there is no anxieties later on that we or someone else on our property could get seriously hurt or killed

great build. 2 tips. #1 Lift with your legs not your back. #2 make a small triangle brace on the bottom of the uprights for they have to hold all the weight leaning forward

Hello from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks for sharing your great video’s please keep them coming.

[@jaypeeters]

Moms are the best! Another great build. Keep the uploads coming. I enjoy them verry much.

[@cinemaipswich4636]

Making material racks are a prime necessity for any workshop. I was given a virgin job. I chose the largest and thinnest sections that were suitable for the stock, because girth and not weight mattered most. Lots of small braces stop twists and warps. Make racks for light - medium - and heavy weight stock. Keep them fairly short, for tall racks are dangerous.

[@tomerwallach2190]

your mom is so cool i wish both my mom and could help me with my projects (but they're smaller projects)

[@sambonefarmer9139]
