My Sheet Metal Bender Video: / ortsrrpzwk
In this video i built sturdy doors for my garden shed. The original ones were very flimsy and don't look very good either. And now I don't have an annoying padlock anymore. I got the material for it from the scrap yard and it cost me next to nothing. So I then adapted the design to the material. If I had had to buy the material, it would have cost a lot of money.
It was a nice Weekend Welding Project or two and I am very happy with the result also with the wood filling.
Thanks for watching

Dont care about the warning that actually my job

[@Shamefulbird]

I have a question tho that your job or something you do as a hobby ? I can see a lot of very expensive stuff that I wish I had at my place where I work

[@onionhead5780]

I’m watching this video and I catch myself instinctually closing my eyes every time he does a tack weld. 🤦‍♂️ 😂 Once you get flash burns, you never forget the 2am wake-up and that feeling of hot sand in your eyeballs. Ugh! Outstanding craftsmanship as usual by the way. 👍

[@TheMetalist]

Yes, I know that happens to me too 😂 Thank you 😁

[@AM-ze4hr]

Thank you for the many ideas this inspires. The use of recycled material coupled with the application of both tig and mig and the way you demonstrate the various metal working details without dialogue is epic. Now to my project - two gate entrances and a basement door. Looking forward to your next video.

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you for the nice feedback, yes The fastes way to work its to have mig and tig 😅 Ok lots of project coming up for you 💪😊

[@josephlieberman3027]

Exemplary presentation of fine craftsmanship. Thank You.

Beautiful work again. Extra secure shed doors are a must 👍👍especially when they look so good!

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😅 yes they are massiv and they will last forever 😁

[@MeltingFingers]

They look very good, but fyi there is nothing secure about those doors. You have straight access to the screws holding the frame from the outside and the cilinders stick so far out you could break them with a big pair of pliers. But that clearly wasn't the point of the video. Kudos to the metalist for the pretty doors.

Saubere Arbeit Dirk, wie immer, absoluter Respekt. Auch für die viele Arbeit die du mit dem Filmen hast dank ich dir mal ganz besonders, das ist ein Haufen Arbeit, bis so ein Video in der Qualität steht. Durch Leute wie dich bin auch ich zum Schweißen gekommen und bin heut so froh drüber, das es mittlerweile zu meinen Lieblingshobbies zählt. Alle Daumen hoch für dich.

[@frankbing1]

Great job, the only thing I would have used differently was the bullet hinges, I would always spend a little extra and purchased the type with grease nipples, I’ve used the bullet hinges in the past without the grease nipples and within 12 months they start to bind and even seize up.

[@HITLER-PRO-MAX]

*_It does not have enough protection. It is enough to loosen the screws that secure the frame and remove the door completely. The frame must be installed from the inside_*

[@rvaldesr1]

Agree.. All that amazing job for screwing on external wooden boards. Also the lock is not the greatest either.

[@dichodichov6045]

Exactly what I was thinking, great job to protect a cardboard box and he put frame on the outside o.o

[@manfredmuller2925]

​@@dichodichov6045In the Region he lives is not much crime 😉

[@lizcastro8069]

I see what you're saying. The outside looks great, but the security is something I'm sure he can figure out. Commercial doors with steel frames wrap around the wood frame on the outside AND the inside. With this man's knowledge of welding, he could add on another piece of metal on the inside of the frame, and the inside around the frame, then weld it to the frame he built on the outside. He'd have his own, custom, commercial metal frame for the cost of the materials. He'd save hundreds and make it much more secure.

[@TheOutlawGeneralBacon]

Great explanation.. my favorite part was when you gave the measurements. And articulated what gauge, what tools you used etc etc...

[@marcoargentierio4569]

good job friend

[@Kudeghraw]

Excellent work. I have to rewire my garage with a subpanel for 50 amp service and the first thing I am doing is building a better security door. I will have to do the opposite of what you did on the frame because I am tacking it outside an inside swinging door. Will just install some brackets to put the hinges on is all. Will have to get creative to hide the external hardware though. Might have to rip some pipe into quarters and cut notches to fit the hinges and locking mechanism. Then fit the quarter pipe just right to weld onto the angle iron. The curves might make it look interesting. Artsy fartsy even. I dunno, looks good in my head.

Willst du den Schuppen zum Bunker ausbauen? Das ist mal ne beachtliche Türblattstärke 😉 Das warten hat sich wie immer gelohnt. Sehr schön gebaut und auch hier wieder richtig schöne Kamerapositionen 👍 Macht einfach Spaß zuzusehen. P.S.: Müsste ich mich zwischen der aktiveren Umsetzung wie bei der Herz-axt mit zum Publikum sprechen und der "stillen" Variante Entscheiden, hätte ich nicht mal einen Favoriten. Finde beide echt interessant. Vom Typ her ist die stille Umsetzung altbewährt und gut, die andere etwas zeitgemäßer und "hipper". Gerne mehr von beiden 🙏

[@TheMetalist]

Ja man muss nehmen was man bekommt. Anfangs dachte ich auch bisschen krass. Aber Holz dehnt und zieht ja die ganze Zeit (Sommer Winter) und die Türen sind jetzt so das da auf jedenfall nichts mehr klemmt 😁 Ja bin auch hin und her gerissen welchen style ich gehen soll. Das Herzaxt Video performt relativ schlecht. Und ich denk die Zielgruppe muss stimmen, das Yt auch deine Videos vorschlägt, an deine Zielgruppe. Aber will mehr Videos in die Richtung macht Zielgruppe hin oder her 💪😅

[@00BillieTurf00]

Vielen dank. Ich liebe diesem stille variant mehr.

[@Lorbuverse]

@@TheMetalist Egal welcher es wird. Sehenswert bleibt es allemal 🤗🙏 Ich lass mich gerne Überraschen☺ Und an der Stelle mal ein Dankeschön für die Videos an sich 👋 Den Aufwand kenne ich ja selbst, wobei deine Videos einfach noch um Welten aufwändiger sind. Aber ist immer wieder inspirierend zu sehen, was man alles aus einer fixen Idee machen kann, die im Kopf umherschwirrt. Immer weiter so 🙏✍🙌

Step #1. Level welding table on all corners diagonally and each way. Step #2. Follow The Mentalist to the T. Just my two cents.

Amazing work! truly spectacular fabrication, are you a fabricator/welder by profession or did you learn all this by yourself?

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 i work with metal since almost 20YEARS. learned a lot over the years 😅

[@bengrogan9710]

I would advise some form of reinforcement in the door here In real terms the only thing holdin your wood to the frames is the screws at the very end meaning that it would be very easy to break in by kicking the wood panel from the door Please consider welding or bolting a few angle iron pieces atleast to physically retain where the cross spars sit

[@RoMiguens]

Very nice, very cool job, you have to add to your human shape tools a bench welding wire cuter, with a human tooth chape cuter 😋 😁

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 There will come some tools in the direction 😁😁😁

[@RoMiguens]

@The Metalist can't wait for your art tools 💪😀

[@dam5959]

great doors and i really like that you built the door frame also. where did you get the bar lock system / hardware?

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😊 Amazon 😅

[@adivarso8175]

💯

[@AbdullahNLM]

Love it. But please make video on how we can hide the screw. Cz the frame screws are fitted from out side. Any one can easyly unscrew and get in without even touching the door lock. Or have you fitted any from inside for safety. This my only concern. I love the work.

[@user-od8uj1pl4o]

👏!!!

[@juanm5045]

Awesome work!, I wonder how do you decide what and why to weld with mig, and what to weld with Tig ?,

[@TheMetalist]

Thank you 😁 Tig: small welds, if i don't wanted to grind the weld of, no space to grinding, Connection between two different materials, no flying sparks or weld that they have to hold 100% Mig: faster, if you have a gab or dirty material

[@dirtywelder483]

Awsome work mate..i have to ask what is the mig setup you are using..i have never seen a mig like that..just curious..
