[@ralphmenta249]

Yep. My thoughts exactly. You dont have to be an engineer to wrap your head around load carrying, ESPECIALLY if you build race cars.... At minimum i would have notched it. Thats like bolting a house to the side of the foundation instead of sitting on top of it. Unnecessary failure point. And to boot, these guys seem pretty smart, how did they not see this as a bad structure??? Great build but I want to shake them both sometimes and say WTF are you thinking?!?! LMAO

[@boudro13b]

Good idea. I admit I have my doubts about that stand. The channel used is pretty small for everything he wants to bolt to it. I'd be adding a lot of cross bracing supports and maybe gussets before I'd feel comfortable trusting it with $100,000 in hardware. And welds galore!

[@ineedmymodfixed]

@@boudro13b square tube is pretty tough stuff. I'd say they need foot brakes on it to keep it from rolling. Put them in the middle one on each side, and it would give it more rigidity in the middle as well as keep it from rolling around.

[@Stevewasere]

@@boudro13b I'm sure it'll hold fine as is, I just don't like seeing the bend. But if I'd spent that much on an engine I'm not sure I would feel comfortable leaving it on there

[@boudro13b]

I just know all the engine stands I've ever used are made out of crazy thick stuff. And I've still seen them flex a little. He wants to bolts every single component under the hood onto that thing. And then run it. I'd be nervous.

[@AnthonyBowman]

I'd put another set of casters in the center, at least. All that Flex is going to make other alignment of parts harder if you're using the stand as a jig for assembly and testing.

[@CaseyFinSF]

It also needs cross bracing to handle the torque coming later. Third set of casters is a good call tho...and needed for extra weight distribution.

[@AnthonyBowman]

@@CaseyFinSF yup. They fire that thing up as constructed, and it's going to twist and rattle itself apart.

[@normanguzman417]

Rob , 6 caster wheels will roll much smoother on rough asphalt (if you are planning to use this out of the shop) and will make the center of the frame more rigid (it won't flex as much). I had a 4 wheel mechanic creeper and switch to a 6 wheel and it make a world of difference in rough asphalt.

Put some extra wheels in the middle of the cart as it is already flexing and putting a lot of strain on those 4 uprights. Might cause the welds to crack.

[@tcapik23]

The shadow at 15:02 lol😂

[@jhnc4x4]

Nice work! Just please add some triangulation to the uprights of the engine stand to prevent it from collapsing and slamming on the floor.

[@johnguilfoyle3073]

FYI: To decrease stress on welds, the risers could have been welded to the tops of the Horizontals so the weight is transferred straight down even if every other weld cracked.

[@TwelveSevenTwoWorks]

Nice concept. Fabrication is a state of mind. Personally I shy away from mitred corners as there’s less weld area and it increases the distortion when welded. A tip worth considering for future to prevent distortion is racking some diagonal braces across the frame to hold it whilst welding (assuming you didn’t). I’d also like to see some braces in the upright configuration perhaps diagonals. Another tip when centring holes on plates is to use countersunk screws which self set concentric to the holes improving setup alignment. Great effort though pal, love the build. Keep it going! 😎

[@MongoRoadKill]

Hey man just tips for fabbing a basic frame like that. Tac the entire structure before fully welding anything, this minimises warpage and pull. When welding a corner joint. Weld the outside corner first. Then the top and bottom, them inside edge. This is to minamise the frame pulling out of square. Its alot worse with stainless but every material pulls a little bit. And remember measure twice ;)

[@MongoRoadKill]

Good work though mate. Love the "sure i can do that" attitude. A very New Zealander way of thinking haha

Good to see Shawn Spencer found work after the show ended. I like your videos.

[@Mr6Sinner]

So cool that you were able to build that whole thing completely by yourself.

[@DucatiChris10]

I feel like you made the stand a little too tall. Once all that weight is on there I feel like it would be really top-heavy and could potentially tip over. I’m definitely not a fabricator but it was just one of the things I thought about while watching this. Love the build and can’t wait to see this thing finished

[@CTemple82]

Add spacers between the frame and casters so the engine hoist can have clearance to roll underneath the dolly while mounting the engine.

[@funkalicious2002]

Rob, if you’re actually intending to run the engine on that cart you’re definitely going to want to add a lot of gussets to it. Your welds might hold the way it is right now, but when you factor in the torque and vibration from the engine you’re going to want a lot of gusseting.
