Jack stands and support for car lifting.

Idea is: That you can lift one side, whole front or rear up. With one jack = one lift, and then place jack stands under the support. Leaves axles free, allows working with drivetrains, suspension etc..
Making takes about a day, used surplus material, so costs we're less than 20$ for me.
Width can be adjusted. Optimal lifting point can be found from every car. ( very most of them )
Biggest reason to make this thing, was that our kids are using my tools when they are fixing their cars.
I don't wan't them to use wood block aids for lifting or stands that are unsure.
Of course, i have several bought stands too. None of them can be placed firmly under this kind of lifting support. So, i made a specific stands for it, to get safe and quick to use way to lift a car.
I use bought stands for extra safety instead, and place them under the skirt just in case. Always use several stands, if you are working under the car!
Structure is tested with 8 ton press. So, it holds easily 2 ton car.

Your welcome! I'm retired these days, but I was a welder/fabricator. From experience I complement you. Attention to detail is everything, it makes the job. Well done!

[@craigtegeler4677]

Excellent fabrication work from beginning to end!! This is what I need for my 4X4 !

[@peteredwards9147]

It's very nice to see quality workmanship and using good equipment and new materials. Some welding videos you see, on KZbin, they use rusting metal, which isn't cleaned first, then they have a car balancing on what ever they made normally wearing a pair of flip flops.

[@peternewman958]

When lifting on the side keep your extensions out as far as possible so the jack stands are close to the wheels as possible This will make it more stable and also reduce the risk of body stresses that could leave marks in your roof etc.

[@bigpappahemi4263]

Is everybody in Finland as precise as you? Wow! You did an amazing job!

Thanks. Here is more countryside than urban cities. Past days people have needed to learn to make things by themselves. Even that, now there is online stores, making nearly everything by yourself has become more like an a tradition, than actual need. Finns just don't buy, if they can make it. ( ones living in the country side )

[@cristiandelavina2703]

It is nice to see the quality of your projects and the neat way of working.

Thank you.

[@das250250]

Nice welding (even the arc welds were really nice ) and lovely music ,most people put the most irritating head smashing music.. I can watch a video for 10 hrs with this type of music and feel focused and calm afterwards .. TY!

[@emypena]

Thanks, you gave me an idea to tie my jackstand pair together.

[@latelierdejen-paul2561]

très bonne idée, bien réalisé et surtout très pratique, 👍👏 .Merci pour le partage 😉

Excellent and great idea. Your stick welding is pro! 👌👍

Thanks!

[@pabloderen]

Very good project, I want to make one for myself. Greetings from Argentina

[@akquicksilver]

Another great build and a great video. My knees are still hurting watching you. I have the same sort of gravel in my parking area and driveway. I always throw down a scrap of plywood when I have to assume the praying position.

Yep. Specially summer time in shorts.. 👍😂

[@akquicksilver]

@ That's way too manly for me!

[@dellamphear9367]

Nice job! You are an excellent fabricator.

Thank you very much for your nice comment!

[@allenhorton571]

Good idea, well designed & v skillfully made. [set new standard for me to work towards!]

[@jaybas523]

Really cool video. I admire the engineering creativity. I’ll have to build me one now. 😃

[@aTUKLeJEN]

I 've been viewing the playlist, was amazing creative ideas. You welded very tedious and with a nice arc.

[@samsworkshopdiary5748]

Pretty Nice metal work! 👍 The construction is really well thought out!

Thanks!

[@JoseSilveira-newhandleforYT]

Looks amazing! I must say I was a bit suspicious (initially only saw the photo), because the arms looked somewhat weak, but after seeing the video, I know I was wrong - it is, not only beautiful, but a very capable tool. Well done!

Thank you. 😊 That jack is so big that it makes arm looks small. Jack is 3 1/3 feet long and weights 45 kg. Lifts 3 tons

[@Mikhandmaker]

Great project! I love it

Thanks mate!

[@glenmckelvey5952]

Great job as always buddy . Take care .

Another great DIY project!!! I like to watch your videos, You are very skilled.

Thanks. Have you already got the packet?

[@Tule54]

No, it haven't turned up yet. What day did you send it?

Its about a week ago. I'll check the day.. It was heavier than i expected, so it comes as a cargo.

I mailed you a tracking link. You should get it within a week.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Mate, that is genius. 👍🏽 What a fantastic idea. 👌🏽

Thanks buddy. I noticed that i need to be under someones car atleast once a month. Wanted to have simple solution to lift any car up without need to wast time for searching a place for the jack or stands.

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

@ And when you don't have the right tools, you make them! 👌🏽 Hehehe 😆😂 You definitely have some awesome skills, mate 👍🏽

[@pukinpaja1974]

Lumoavaa katsottavaa! Todella hyvin tehty video... ei voi muuta kuin ihailla tuota tarkkuutta ja täsmällisyyttä! 🇫🇮🎅🏻👍🏻

Paljon kiitoksia. Kiva kun tykkäsit. Olen pyrkinyt näkemään vähän enemmän vaivaa videoiden kanssa. Edellinen tosin oli sellainen pikainen "heitto" kun itse aihekin oli vähän sellainen, että viitsiikö tehdä videota lainkaan. Yksi valokuva kun olisi ajanut asian, useimmille.

[@4ehano]

Nice design and final product. I need two of these for my Tesla Model 3P to get all 4 wheels off the ground!

[@4ehano]

Any way to get your plans? The "Instructables" link doesn't work for me. Or how much for you to make and ship to Hawaii?

[@J1I9M7M4Y]

Very nice solution! I need to build something like this for my Saab. Saabs are really tricky to lift.. No real good lifting points for any other jack than the original one that comes with the car.

I had a Saab 96 Gl v4 long time ago. Now, i regret that i sold it away with a couple pennies. It would have been nice restoring project for long winters.

[@bridges5659]

Damn Good! And your welding is excellent. 👍

[@mejajimeneztorre4266]

Great work. Also, thanks for the music.

[@cobberpete1]

Great Project Tuomas, I hope you don't have any breakdowns and have to use it any time soon. The finish ( painting) also make it a more than usual professional job. Your filming and editing are also improving in great steps. I agree with Kaveman, the welds are just amazing, and really liked the sequence where the arc was showing in yellow light. Very artistic :)

Thank you Peter. I decided to pay more attention for the actual video too. It takes much more time, but i hope one day its worth it. Also, i decided to make videos from "ordinary" things too, like making garden swing and things like that.

[@cobberpete1]

@ I'm sure a lot of your subscribers will be looking forward to the 'Ordinary' projects :)

[@pedrovision6987]

Impressed...and subbed. And then I notice your channels name...greetings from Finland...hauska tavata!

[@pjhalchemy]

Almost speechless. An epic build in a day. Those end caps looked like they were poured on...Wow! You never cease to amaze with your design and fab skills as well as your videography and music choices...Inspiring. Nice to hear you are using Adobe. My knees hurt thinking about the gravel driveway though. ;-P Hat Tip & Nod, my friend!

Thanks mate. ❤️ I have some issues with the Adobe at the moment. After update it started to stuck all the time. Reinstalling didn't help. Needs to figure it out, otherwise i like it.

[@pjhalchemy]

@ believe me I've had my issues with it too but it has lots of goodies built in.

@@pjhalchemy Yep. I try another installation, and leave updates out for until they release patch for it.

It was Windows update KB4556799 that messed up my video pc. Now it works smooth again. 👍

Pins are stainless 316. It takes more than 20 tons to broke the pin, when it carries weight from both sides of the stand.
