DIY TOOL--#14

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

That lift hook certainly needs a proper heat treatment. I wonder, why the bricks didn't crush - always put some wood between bricks and iron.

[@TheHHAndreas]

Why am I watching this??? Have no jack, no container, no burner, no welder, no need to lift a 40ft container. Need to watch the vid again, to find out......

That's funny! Welcome to the Internet. I like to try to pickup bits and pieces of knowledge of whatever people are making or doing.

[@secondlooksformen3836]

@@tubergenmotorsports4193 perfect response. I learned several things from what is being done. Also, learn even more by reading comments. Most are knowledgeable and well intended by experts. I don't agree with calling someone stupid because we disagree with how they do things. To me, ignorance us not necessarily stupidity. He may just lack training and is doing the job as he was taught. Hopefully he can learn to do a better job and be safer before he or someone else gets hurt. I wish him well.

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.

[@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

[@mvblitzyo]

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

[@butchcoben5943]

This is a great idea . I am retired as master Mechanic / master welder. . It is sad to See this man lighting his oxy- acetaline Torch with no o2: in the torch . The Flame from only acetaline will carbon Up the torch . The proper way to light Is with all fuel and some oxygen . And proper way to stop torch is turn off Acetaline first giving no flame to carbon Up the torch .

Should have reduced the load on one corner by jacking with two jacks. Then the original would have worked and you wouldn’t have wasted all your time. So you would need two? So what, I’m sure it cost less than all the time, effort, welding materials etc.

[@rodolfoplasencia4953]

Do not, ever, put your hand nor anything belonging to your body, under a heavy load. He just didn't realized the same container that went down in front of him can go down again and he put his right hand under that mass chopping bulk of steel. Don't do it again. Or you'll use the left one, until Jehovah regrow your smashed under a 4.8 Ton container right hand just to save few bucks. Don't play with your body pieces. Protect yourself, and keep inventing! Take care! And thank you! Also, whenever you're placing a pad under your container. Use 2 minimum. Bricks whatever you use, use 2 +. If one decides to break, it'll hit the ground or loose level. 2 +, will back up one.

[@kerimyigit5370]

How to make work unsafely? Don't put your hand under the container when lift. Or whatever, you can put your head next time.

[@louisaziz1235]

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.

[@johnhili8664]

To cool it very slowly you just leave it to cool in a bucket of lime I have tried it and it works!!

Proof that some of the best welds are made without using a welding helmet. Just close your eyes and hope for the best. Luckily you don't have to worry about the welds holding up because I'm sure you burnt the seals out of the jack when u welded the top

[@trackerbab]

Why not just use a floor jack and position it in the opening near the leg, that should work.

[@jgyoung1981]

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.

[@talegunner115]

Did you remove the hydraulic oil before you welded? I would. Cant take that chance

[@Glasnot1]

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.

Make sure you remove the hydraulic oil from the vessel before welding, if the oil is left in and excessive heat is applied from the welding it could cause the oil inside the cylinder / vessel to explode.

Looks to me that you are using a leaf spring which you heated, and welded. Spring steel is made to be heat treated, and act like a spring. It cantains more carbon than construction steel which when heat treated and cooled makes it stiffer, and more brittle. I will not recomend you to use that steel for this purpose. Not safe.
