A giant pipe wrench and 2 narrow strips of 1/4" plate act as a great brake in a pinch. Loving the videos. Keep it up!

[@jeffreyturnage360]

NICE!!!! Just motivated me to rip the back end off my truck and build a rig!!

[@Jay_Mars]

your building one slick rig

[@JacobSchofield]

Jay Mars thanks man I’m tryi g

[@Jay_Mars]

well your doing great

[@javiergarcia6912]

Built my own Jackstands. ultra heavy duty.

[@JacobSchofield]

Javier Garcia dang that’s a lot of work

[@weldingjunkie]

I was watching the dogs I didn’t hear a word you said lol just kidding great video but I like dogs as much as welding

[@JacobSchofield]

Welding Junkie me too man as I was editing I was watching them too.

[@gunchief0811]

The dogs were having fun...

[@adameveritt40]

Just my two cents. One thing I’m noticing is your craftsmanship. My welding instructor once told me “make every weld like your life depends on it”. I like how you do it the right way, not necessarily the easiest way. You can teach a guy all day how to work, but teaching someone to take pride in what they do is where the real value is. You give us welders a good name man.

[@seamuswalsh37]

Adam Everitt youre right. Every weld is your resume and it only looks as good as your last work

[@adameveritt40]

Clove Worx that’s a great way to word it. I’d like to see a video about that, explaining why craftsmanship is important in every industry, especially welding. You want to be known as the guy who’s work is top notch.

[@JacobSchofield]

Man thank you that really means a lot. And great ideas on a video I will do one for you guys.

[@seamuswalsh37]

Adam Everitt in my view from what ive picked up on. Craftsmenship is important because it shows that the one doing to the crafting actually cares about what level of quality his product maintains, they want to be there. And people who are paying for the work generally want someone who is greatfull to do the work and maintains a level of pride in his craft. It comes down to this. Only two things you got are your name and your word. If you give your word that youll provide good work a gurantee is held to your name at the end up the day. This guy can do it. Have pride in what you do.

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

Adam Everitt , My thoughts "burn every rod like it's the last one you will ever burn."

[@joshr8176]

What the thickness of the sheet, what amperage are you running, what size rod and kind of rod are you running?

[@obfuscated3090]

It's a very good idea to have an access panel above the in-tank fuel pump. It drastically reduces replacement time and you won't have to fight a full tank on a transmission jack etc because you can leave the tank in place. It'll save you considerable labor if you pay others to work on your vehicle.

[@JacobSchofield]

for sure thank you for the tip.

[@braidenstauffer7336]

I would like to see a video on your welding masks and why your use those over other hoods

[@joshuariewestahl8086]

Braiden Stauffer pancake hoods allow in zero light. Sunlight makes it hard to see because you get a reflection of your face on the inside. Jed and I have sarge hoods Jake has an empire south.

[@garydudley7399]

Great videos !!!

[@stevedulaney3744]

Liking the bed build and the bobbed truck. You make it look easy. I’m going to build my first soon and have learned some tips from your vid. Keep up the great work!

[@briantruck2284]

Insurance is cheaper on that truck because it's not a one ton truck 😎 smart One ton axle would've been better then some tiny wheel spacers !

[@JacobSchofield]

Yup

[@That_one-guy192]

I would have to use the death wheel to cut that stuff out. I cannot for the life of me make a straight cut with a skill saw. I could have a fence set up on each side of the saw and still end up cutting crooked.

[@JacobSchofield]

Harland Gambill hahahahah lolfor sure man I know just what your saying

[@TheRitchieLeeShow]

First off, Nice. Next, 2nd gear 45 down to 35. What rod, and gauge/ thickness of that 5 sided box ? Thanks

[@javiergarcia6912]

One of the biggest questions growing up. Was how what kind of design and I knew every Rig welder needs to be able to build his Rig. My mind generator 160 Tig and Stick rig is comming to fruition. all I need to build furniture trailers farm Tig restaurant work ornamental gates. Especially truck repair. and panel work. Fir oilfield trucking. 120 amps 7018 all the way out. 130 for 5 p.

[@JacobSchofield]

Javier Garcia well Javier let’s see this rig I’m excited man.

[@javiergarcia6912]

Jacob Schofield Working on my sled frame and boxes. Low in materials Tubing etc. but have my basic equipment. In the truck. Using Horse lick feed bins temporary boxes for now. But light and very handy. It us what I call the Mini Rig.

[@ShaneRogers-b1t]

When cutting plate steel. Get a length of angle iron and tac it down to the plate. Leave just enough room for your touch tip Tres against the angle for a straight edge. Make sure your touch is on the line . This will prevent your plate from warping and allow for a perfect straight cut

[@adamspears750]

How does that gas truck do pulling a camper I’m thinking about selling my diesel and get a gasser

[@jasonschmidt6340]

You guys are great!! Very respectful, very informative and I love the fact that u improvise when u need to get something done and u don’t have exactly what u need! Not many people your age can do that now days!!

[@claytonclark463]

Who got distracted by the dogs throwing paws at each other 😂😂

[@JacobSchofield]

They are awesome I love those dogs they are something else.

[@claytonclark463]

Jacob Schofield I’m thinking about taking welding in high school next year do u think it’s worth it

[@leroymcjenkins597]

@@claytonclark463 in my opinion, it's worth it. There is so much you can do if you know how to weld. You can work on the pipeline, make trailers, make boilers, make tables, etc there is literally over a thousand things you can do with a welder. Heck you can build fence and cattle pens, repair heavy equipment, do automotive body work the list just goes on. I would consider taking a welding class, especially if it is free.

[@frankrodriguez5417]

Jacob Schofield what kind of saw is that?

[@brucecaldwell6701]

@@frankrodriguez5417 They use carbide tipped blades & turn a slower RPM than a carpenter type circular saw. Evolution makes some as do other brands. I bought an Evolution chop saw, same type blade, & will never use abrasive blades again.

[@jamesmathews5097]

Are you using a eighth inch grinding wheel to score your plate?

[@117tj7]

Him talking about the bed me just watching the dogs the whole time

[@JacobSchofield]

There hard not to watch fir sure lol

[@luskeymorris228]

Hey great pointers thank you! Keep up the great work.

[@paulw9089]

Say you had a 24 inch hole why not bring up half inchb out of floor or so so that way lid is a cap with sides harder for water and whole lid will push down on seal more weight just idea

[@joshuariewestahl8086]

Paul w because it is going to be where the dirty stuff goes anyways and no need for dry storage. Great way to do it like you said if that was your need.

[@jusmynameadkins8474]

... personal opinion... you just shot the integrity of the floor of that box with all the slits... you gave it room to flex with the weight of 8 or 9 jack stands it will sag in the middle after a while and every time you throw one in if you don't place it in the Box so my personal opinion put some angle iron in and tack weld to the bottom plate and go up the side walls at least 1 inch

[@ericfarran8554]

Can u put a link to buy that saw and blade? I put a metal cutting wheel in a regular Makita Skil saw I have and it wasn't worth a fuck. I really really like this video man very happy you're doing this thank you.

[@cadenmassoletti1812]

What brand sunglasses are you wearing in the vid?

[@sargon4037]

Try putting a thick piece of aluminum clamped behind where you're cutting. It can be a heat sink and it will keep everything straight

[@JacobSchofield]

Dude sedric thats a heck of a tip. thank you.

Ever reverse the leads on thin metal make stinger negative

im wondering the same thing...lol..

[@joshuariewestahl8086]

Danny Harvey about half or 2/3 metal thickness. If you go too little it just won’t bend.then go a little more.

Why the massive haz on that sheet? I've seen laser, plasma, and flame cut sheet but never with that much heat tint. Jw

Didn’t even notice it tell you said something must justbof even the way they milled it.

[@jeffryshupert7471]

Jacob Schofield gotcha. Thanks. Love your attitude and hard work man. I do food grade Stainless steel but was good (mediocre compared to you I'm sure) with pipe when i got my associates degree. Just have a family and young kids so i dont think without some stability i could even begin to find work in your field that could exceed my 45k current salary. But, much respect for you, and if only i had a friend like you. I'm the type that'll work 3 jobs and as hard as i can to achieve my goals. And it's good to see you're helping motivate others. Great job and best wishes to you!

[@andrewreisner9098]

Can you do a video on 1g plate

[@cavemanjoe7972]

Bevel, backing strip, 6010 root pass, 7018 filler & cap. Cut, grind, polish, and etch with naval jelly to see how you did. Holes, inclusions, undercut, arc strikes, or a void showing lack of penetration, and it's a fail. Thickness of material is part of the test, too. 1/4" plate takes less time than 1/2" plate, and a lot less filler. But, whatever thickness you pass your certification on, any thickness under that is included in your certification for that position. I.E.- you don't have to take a 1/4" 1G plate test cert if you already have one for 1/2". Doesn't apply to hiring in though; you take whatever test they give you to get the job, whether you have the certification or not.
