This Build Gave Me More Trouble Than I Thought

You ever have a project that looks straight forward on paper, but then somewhere in the process of making it something goes wrong? That happened to Tay in this episode. We were tasked with building foot rails to go underneath barstools, and Tay took the job head on! Taking slight inspiration from pictures online but tweaking and improving them, Tay fought an uphill battle against a tired brain in order to perfect these railings.
Regardless of the obstacles, in this industry a lot of the job comes down to perseverance. All that matters at the end of the day is the final product! And in this case, we are incredibly pleased with the results! Have you ever had a simple gig go off the rails? Let us know in the comments below!
Thanks for watching!

You should look into using a tab and slot style of design. If you add a little tab to each end of the large bracket and an equivalent slot to the smaller brackets the pieces will just key together. It eliminates a lot of the guess work/fiddling to get the pieces aligned correctly. When looking at tab and slot timewise, it does take a bit longer on the plasma as your toolpaths will be slightly longer and extra slots to cutout; but, you should save more than that back in weld fixturing time.

Turned out very well there guys. Hopefully they enjoy them for many years to come. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friends. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God bless.

[@chiboy002]

hey man you should look into using V-Carve for layout on your plasma. it has nesting functions built in, not sure what you use now but if it doesn't have that then think about switching. you probably could've squeezed our a 2-3 more brackets out of your sheets using the proper nesting technique

[@spevakdesigns]

Can you input an irregularly shaped drop and have V carve nest parts to that?

[@chiboy002]

@@spevakdesigns yep, ive used it to cut from scrap shapes before and it worked great

[@chiboy002]

@@spevakdesigns i think there is a free trial so def worth giving it a shot to see if you like it. I was put on from my local makerspace

[@kaseylarson3266]

Seriously impressed with the framing square for circle drip cutting! Love it! I would love to learn about your pricing approach with a project like this. I understand if you prefer to keep that private.

[@citylockapolytechnikeyllcc7936]

I binged through your workshop remodel this past week.... plus the yard sculpure helix tree.... LOVED that wrench you bent and put in the lower part of the ribbon.... I keep forgetting what those were used for... Alternators ? Best part.... homeowner can always go out with a torch, and borrow tools needed for a project, then weld 'em back when done!

[@mytuberforyou]

Foot rails are generally made from tube, not pipe- the idea being that tube is in OD and pipe is in ID sizes- which allows you to cut all of your saddles out of pipe section, simplifying your bracket setup and design.

[@leroy1790]

Love the square trick also. Will definitely be using that. Looks like your tabs for the wall could have fit inside the bracket drops? At least looked like it on camera. Great video can’t wait to see the next one.

[@justintasht1067]

Excellent video I was late watching this 1. Loved how they turned out looked really cool wicked design. Love watching the plasma cutter making the bits what a machine. Keep up the great work 👍

[@markehooker]

Great Channel. Thumbs up from NC!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Nice those look great 👍👍👍

[@willrefling6395]

Should be said, that isn't pipe that is tubing. Pipe is ID and an end like that would be hard to do! Love you're vids

[@MartinBircher]

Another job, well done!

[@SWResto]

Wow 12 ft tall bar those must be really high desks

[@taterfab8845]

Hey bud, your 85amp consumable should work from 105-45 amps and below.; no need to switch them out. Also, i am curious about the glasses you got with the side protection. I have always had the issue of finding safety glasses to fit over my glasses ( usually Raybans) So I tend towards face shields when they aren't always necessary. Any info would be greatly appreciated. :)

[@tylerrusso2868]

Great work. Question. For plasma maintenance, do you use a dry grease on the gears (not talking about the sliders). Thank you.

[@squirrelgray945]

More less wrong is what we should all strive for.

[@t-bone1890]

just finding your channel, do you have any videos showing how the Sabre finds your metal, if the piece you are throwing up on the table is oddly shaped. how does the machine know if the plate doesn't already have holes in it if its a used piece

[@dakotareid1566]

should’ve put the tabs in the cut out material that way you’re not wasting space

[@Shadow6a]

I see that need TI Calc there! 😂 I have 2!

[@richardpowell4884]

My shop sabre was doing the same thing with the head not detecting. I ended up taking a point file and running it in the red butt connector for the ring.

[@jessyltr581]

Put dielectric grease on the connectors

[@danielraether3815]

Can you share pricing so a noob like me can get an idea on what a job like this costs/earns?

[@dwighthuet8912]

You might want to try an .065 wall tubing instead of schedule 40. Cuts faster and easier to fabricate.

[@nmopzzz]

Why didn't you cut the screw holes as well?

[@olivermcmahon8649]

You need to get rid of the plasma cutter and get a water jet

[@frankstuerzl]

Hi Tay, my name is Frank, i´m a new subscriber to your chanel. I´m from Germany and in this video, for the first time, i saw the german word "verwirklicht" in your Tattoo. Can you explain it to me? Great chanel, keep on going! Cheers from Germany

[@MegaSchoolman]

Could you have nested the mounting plates inside the negative spaces you had on the main bracket piece? That way you could cut down on wasted material.

[@dakotareid1566]

Lol I just commented this could’ve saved material

[@itsnotlevel2]

What you have their server is tubing not schedule 40 pipe, tubing is measured on the OD schedule 40 or any kind of pipe that carries water, oil or gas is measured from the ID....just sayin.

[@kwasg3]

So..... new explanation of fusion 360 at 13:40 --- ??😁

[@stevenguevara2184]

They can skate them after work

[@ronkennedy213]

It's tube not pipe. Pipe is measured on I.D. Tube measured on O.D.

[@mytuberforyou]

Except he used pipe- look at the section, also why he has that wonky 1.9" exterior dimension, it's 1-1/2" sch 40 pipe.

[@TheRobertgilliam3]

A "12 foot" height foot rail seems a little high.

[@TheRobertgilliam3]

[@brameelen6464]

your setup for the brackets is much to hard just juse the corner of jour table ! look up for siegmund tables this is wat we use in europe they are expensive but so useful with al the tools that are available

[@tambaurorastation756]

The old radius and diameter trick by CAD. ffs. Cool circle zero trick. I like that!

[@samuraidriver4x4]

I made the habit of always putting a dimension on arc's and circles because of it. Might have happened a time or 2 to me aswel🤐

[@mytuberforyou]

Most cad packages can do math expressions inside the dialog boxes so it's really easy to put " 1.9"/2" and I make a habit of that in solidworks, especially if you need to divide by five or seven or thirteen for something like columns or stair treads. It's a great shorthand trick, you just have to make sure you don't enter "1-1/2"" because then you get 1/2" instead of inch and a half, formatting is important.
