DIY TOOL--#14

[@bomar080]

It is guys like you that will push your country forward and I salute you. A word of advise, both WELDING and heating “spring” steel will weaken the metal, that’s what caused your “snap”.

[@justanamerican9024]

You are right. It is tricky but it can be tempered to retain much of its strength

[@gaminawulfsdottir3253]

Great video. No annoying music, no superfluous voiceover "explanation." Just a guy who knows what he's doing. Also, oxy-acetylene rocks.

[@mvblitzyo]

really enjoy that the builder is so persistent on making that tool work great build !..

[@humblehombre9904]

You should re-heat that entire part, then temper it properly. After bending it and working it, you likely caused the metal to have internal stresses and flaws, possibly small cracks. Something to remember for future? This is, however a very good idea.

[@sojournsojourntraveler1203]

Something I learned to do starting when I would brake springs on my Caterpillar tractor walking beam, is like your blue part / spring steel when finished cutting and bending on it is to heat the entire part good and hot and stick it in isolation over night . This annealing process takes the tension out of the work and it won't break again nearly as easy or often. Good Video Thank you

That correct, not everyone wants to go buy a toe jack just to do your own projects Especially when U have the ability and knowhow to make your own, "Ingenuity", when that bend snapped off, it just needed annealing, U did that when U welded the piece back on. I guess 7018 ? Good Choice. Great Video.

nice DIY for shoe jack / toe jack. although this could be improvised with continues welding and higher grade of steel but overall is solid work. use guard for grinder for your own safety, and use face shield for welding, you could get skin cancer and broken cornea for doing that very long. i could send you one if you need it.

Try adding stiffeners on the edges and sides. Think like a c section piece of steel bent into your s shape. It will make the piece much stronger and safer and still allow the clearance you need. Be safe friend.

Let the greater point be this: the guy in the video - probably driven by lack of resources - devised a dangerous device and built it in a substandard way.

Great idea. Good try. This is what happened... You heated the metal with the torch and bent it with a hammer... In essence you ''forged'' it and made it hard and brittle. You should have '' normalized'' the metal by heating it red hot and cooling it very, very slowly. This would bring it back to the strength before it was made brittle. Good luck next time.

Should have stabilized(drawing) the bend in an oven after bending it & used gussets to stop bending or breaking. 4.8 tons divided by 4 =1.2 tons or 2400 pounds per corner. you should never weld on a hydraulic cylinder ( the top part), because it could leak at the seal/ wiper. A continues weld is stronger then what ever he was going . Did this guy learn what he knows from watching youtube, ever heard of a book or work experience.
