Headache rack for Ford f-150

Building a spider web rack for my truck

[@scottybabb6297]

I did not think you were going to cut that web design from a solid piece. I thought it was round stock and you cut, bent, and welded it. The talent you show with a torch is awesome. Thanks for such a detailed video. I wish someone would donate a steel building and a couple of go pros to you. It would benefit all of us fans of yours. Great job dude.

[@TheMikee2006]

I typically loath headache racks. You made a beautiful one. GREAT JOB!

[@hotshotter4500]

awesome work Allen I like how you do it with regular tools us average guys have. You have great talent

[@randallshular5362]

I really like the dual tubing around the frame. Making the spider web from a flat sheet was awesome. And the added detail to the side gussets really makes it stand out. I am inspired now to go make one for my Ram. Thanks

[@coherantbliss3483]

It's called "use what tools you have and work harder"....great job friend!

[@col.davidcrockett5959]

You sir are not just a craftsman, you are an artist! I’ve never seen a more beautiful headache rack.

[@sour_grapes4280]

That rack is sick! This one has inspired me.

[@K3Flyguy]

A labor of love my friend! Looks great as does everything you do always does! Keep up the awesome work friend!

[@Every_Journey_has_a_Story]

Love the "high-tech" look done with some "low-tech" tools.. True craftsman. Keep up the good work.

[@josevilla8179]

That's why I got me a cnc

[@MrDukesinner]

Cool brother. Great work ! I have also done a lot of welding outside.

[@MyDakota93]

[@ginialonso6513]

Wow you are a great fabricator thank you for sharing this video God Bless....

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

[@bobm4187]

Nice rack. You do better with that torch than I do with my plasma cutter.

[@Monstertruckman4x4]

Fantastic job there mate and great design

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

+mtm 4x4 thanks!

[@ajsironworks3937]

Wow. You are a craftsman.

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks!!!

[@johnblegen1150]

AWESOME job 👍👍👍

[@silverbullet7434]

Wow , bet others will want custom bed attachments to protect there Windows. Good job , if you make more patterns could be of use to cut them out before welding them in. YUPP I love watching a craftsman at work. Thank you and God bless you and the family .

[@glenndavis2762]

Allen, good tip on the jigsaw - that will come in handy

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

yea I've done some surprising things with a jig saw

[@andreslizarde7598]

excellent work

[@raycurren3639]

That's badass!

[@Bigknucklesandhands]

That looks awesome

[@ericuncapher9922]

[@dennisdoherty1133]

That is great work

[@donweathersbee3199]

Lotta, work as most quality fab work is. Looks good.

[@cartergimbel6866]

If you had a powerplasma cutter there would be no limit to your work. Fantastic job man.

[@Ace-yf3xf]

Very nice!

[@carlos92161]

Nice job thanks showing us

[@glenndavis2762]

Allen, love the work - but you seriously need to make yourself a CNC plasma table!!

[@henryaguero3535]

Bad Ass Bro!!.. Nice as always!

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks!!

[@daspy1017]

Very nice!!!!

[@davidmahoney7960]

great job

[@RetiredTony]

very talented and creative here man...nice

[@elijahtaylor8351]

I love your work. A Powerplasma cutter would probably cut your fabrication time down.

[@billpeirce7127]

Awesome!!!👊💥😁

[@jeff1281]

looks good..

[@MrJackchap]

That is sweet

[@GlassByThaddeus]

From another fabricator, you do great work! Just need to upload in at least 480p.

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks! I really do need to upgrade my video making

[@GlassByThaddeus]

You reall do beautiful work. Keep it up! I say get a gopro hero 4 and a handful of the cheap UV lens filters in case you hit it with the grinder

[@DavidGarcia-sx8th]

Dambbb...nice job...

[@itsme69wow]

Sharpppppp!!!

[@Marchautowerks]

That thing is bad ass

[@mjkrigging6374]

hey your videos are the best thanks.can you tell me what the tool I saw you use to mark angle cuts on pipe. looked like it held soap stone some kind of protractor

[@riglenduwaer3587]

Very nice Bro

[@6miler]

Allen the track cutter!

[@stevenbeatty3872]

Wish the video quality was a bit better but that looks dope as hell! Awesome video

[@acasper54]

Everyone keeps telling him to get a plasma cutter. The torch is working just fine. Haha. Yea its nice to have it, but then you have to have an air compressor that can keep up. It adds up. Especially when you buy something decent that you can count on to last.

[@jasonkendall9811]

lincoln tomahawk

[@bondibeast]

hey mate, love your work. . I have a question which i think you have probably been asked a thousand times before. can you tell my why you chose oxy acetylene instead of plasma cutting? do you have more control? i haven't used either before and I was thinking about one of these processes as my next purchase as my welding improves.

[@MarkJones-sk6vk]

Really great fab work. How many total hour do u have in that ptoject? Sometimes it's less wear on the body to just put those hours into overtime and have a shop laser cut a design u make on computer. Then weld up the tubing. Just an idea from a aircraft structures guy.

[@josevilla8179]

badass work. I'm going to make me one but . A dale Jr one

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks! that would look good too!

[@Z71Ranger]

Dale Jr wife made him Quit... So I Quit Dale Jr....

[@ckobesko]

very nice! curious what would you charge for that?

[@FernandoGonzalez-ul7lt]

Nice

[@robertpolkamp]

I liked what you did there. I'm not sure how you attached the rack and it appears the center brake light opening may be too high to be seen from the rear?

[@IHC1965]

Awsome rack. But I get anciety to see you welding with no gloves.

[@marceaton3128]

That was some amazing work Allen, mad torch skills. I'm a novice welder, I was told you couldn't weld outside with a mig with gas. Now I know on a very windy day it would blow you gas away, is it possible to weld on a calm day outside with gas? Or should you always use flux core outside? Thanks.

[@djdanzy]

Yes sir calm day with mig gas. I weld gal tube out of my shed on calm days.

[@feli8930]

You are the shit, i watch all your videos

[@scottthomas7571]

I noticed you use your torch a lot for cutting designs in sheet metal. Have you tried using a powerplasma cutter? Any thoughts on the pros and cons of either method?

[@Ccfygccxnh]

Your good

[@douglasalan7786]

Allen. Crisco an an acid brush for the jigsaw cuts. This coming from me with a plasmacam table and PM 45 and 65 !

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks for the tip!!

[@glenndavis2762]

yup - 45 here too - the best! I can cut 1" thick with my 45 - amazing

[@aroncelante6213]

Superrrr

[@MARTIALCOMBATIVES]

love your vids a true craftsman how long has that ryobi been working? i always thought they were crap had a couple over the years and they burn up in a couple months of light use get hot and just die maybe i'll give it another try..... you are skilled and seem like a good person that's the main reason i watch your vids thanks

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

I like the ryobi grinders, the brushes burn up quick sometimes but just take the screw out of the side and its replaceable. for the price tho, they are pretty good

[@MARTIALCOMBATIVES]

thanks maybe i'll try one your cutting skills are top notch hope you have a great xmas love seeing all your animals and the vids

[@SuperDave21]

Beautiful work... the hard way, but awesome none the less. If anyone ever needed a plasma-cam or water cutter it's you! Next one, why don't you lay it out and take it to a bigger shop to be cut on a laser table? Save you loads of work and time!

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

thanks! a plasma table be a lot easier but some stuff I just like to see if I can do it by hand

[@garyhall867]

You need to look after your Lungs young Fella God only gave you one set.SAFETY, SAFETY all ways comes first.SAFETY, SAFETY

[@danielpreble5352]

where you located Allen I need a rack for my dodge

[@scottdombrosky7393]

You did some nice work but I would like to get the measurements for the length of tubing that is for the framing of it

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

You have to measure it to your truck

[@toprod9493]

Quality.

[@haulem]

Excellent build, but no paint or anything to protect it from the elements?

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

No, I wanted it to rust, it's on a Toyota now

[@alfrejaime]

GREAT JOB ALLEN!! what size steel plate you used..?

Thanks, its 11 gauge plate and 2"/1" tubing

[@alfrejaime]

[@MegaPunkomatic]

What did you use to hold the plate in the center when you pushed it in

[@drchevyphdeez7253]

What degree angle cuts were used for the top corner pieces?

[@Tonnsfabrication]

Hell I thought the webb was going to be made of logging chain?

[@dangerboy808]

Did you clear coat it ?

[@Rafa-bn8kt]

Nice job !!! How much if u sell ?

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

if I sold it..probably $300-$350

[@car24dude]

Looks great, but if you ever have to replace your back glass, it will be a pain in the ass

[@Allensweldingwoodworking]

Subaru STi just unbolt it’s from truck, that rack has been on 3 trucks now

Grind one of your files down to fit your sawzall
