00:00:11.150 00:00:11.160 welcome to Jimbo's garage mid-october my
00:00:19.560 00:00:19.570 youngest daughter Jenna and Dean got
00:00:20.970 00:00:20.980 married here in the backyard after the
00:00:23.310 00:00:23.320 wedding was over the following day we
00:00:24.960 00:00:24.970 started cleaning up everything and there
00:00:27.540 00:00:27.550 was these 12 orchids left over in these
00:00:30.120 00:00:30.130 pots and they were beautiful and I just
00:00:32.040 00:00:32.050 couldn't throw them away so we hung on
00:00:33.840 00:00:33.850 to him left him out on the patio table
00:00:35.760 00:00:35.770 and they've been there for almost four
00:00:38.400 00:00:38.410 months now sitting in the same spot on
00:00:40.920 00:00:40.930 our patio table well my wife and I
00:00:43.110 00:00:43.120 aren't really much for gardening but she
00:00:45.240 00:00:45.250 did a little research and she's been
00:00:46.890 00:00:46.900 nurturing these things and they looked
00:00:48.420 00:00:48.430 just as beautiful today as they did back
00:00:51.360 00:00:51.370 in the wedding was mid-october but it's
00:00:54.060 00:00:54.070 time to get him off her patio table so
00:00:55.920 00:00:55.930 it's time for me to make a rack or stand
00:00:57.780 00:00:57.790 for these things so that's what we're
00:00:59.639 00:00:59.649 doing in today's video rack right here
00:01:06.149 00:01:06.159 and I really couldn't decide whether to
00:01:08.010 00:01:08.020 use one inch or inch and a half I happen
00:01:10.170 00:01:10.180 to have the same amount of each which is
00:01:12.330 00:01:12.340 about 60 feet so I decided to go with a
00:01:15.030 00:01:15.040 1 inch I think that that was the more
00:01:16.980 00:01:16.990 appropriate size for this particular
00:01:19.020 00:01:19.030 project and again I've got no plans for
00:01:22.500 00:01:22.510 this this is just in my head I've got
00:01:25.110 00:01:25.120 some basic dimensions for the area that
00:01:27.060 00:01:27.070 it's going to go in and so I start by
00:01:29.280 00:01:29.290 just cutting all the pieces up now these
00:01:31.440 00:01:31.450 are just the primary pieces I'm just
00:01:33.780 00:01:33.790 getting started right here clamping
00:01:36.510 00:01:36.520 things together with fire ball Square
00:01:38.250 00:01:38.260 and get the initial pieces put together
00:01:41.600 00:01:41.610 but before I get started right here I'm
00:01:44.399 00:01:44.409 using these Flint's wiping clear lens
00:01:46.500 00:01:46.510 wipes I use these for my glasses my hood
00:01:49.380 00:01:49.390 they work really good they're really
00:01:51.390 00:01:51.400 inexpensive I got them on Amazon I'll
00:01:54.060 00:01:54.070 put a link in the description there so
00:01:55.530 00:01:55.540 you can check that out I think a box 100
00:01:58.230 00:01:58.240 or 200 or something like that's only
00:01:59.880 00:01:59.890 like six dollars or something they're
00:02:01.980 00:02:01.990 pretty cool disposable you can see I'm
00:02:04.350 00:02:04.360 just you know going around getting the
00:02:06.480 00:02:06.490 first primary pieces welded together you
00:02:09.809 00:02:09.819 know I like to get everything welded
00:02:11.550 00:02:11.560 together and then I like to weld them
00:02:13.500 00:02:13.510 all the way through both sides and I
00:02:15.690 00:02:15.700 like to grind those welds down so I have
00:02:17.580 00:02:17.590 a complete flat surface to work with you
00:02:20.460 00:02:20.470 know if you left the welds on and you
00:02:22.500 00:02:22.510 try to fabricate
00:02:24.150 00:02:24.160 you know you've got the bubble part of
00:02:25.710 00:02:25.720 the crown part of the well that would be
00:02:26.970 00:02:26.980 sticking up and it just causes problems
00:02:28.920 00:02:28.930 I found so I like everything nice and
00:02:30.810 00:02:30.820 flat I like to grind things as I go
00:02:33.210 00:02:33.220 along right here at least as much as I
00:02:34.740 00:02:34.750 can and you can see that I'm i'm using
00:02:38.270 00:02:38.280 the fixture clamps for the first time
00:02:41.130 00:02:41.140 I'm trying to learn how all of this
00:02:43.110 00:02:43.120 works the tables new to me and the first
00:02:45.750 00:02:45.760 thing I did was just put the fireball
00:02:47.970 00:02:47.980 square right there hung it over the edge
00:02:49.560 00:02:49.570 and you can see that I was able to clamp
00:02:51.660 00:02:51.670 things and get you know get these little
00:02:54.630 00:02:54.640 pieces fabricated that worked out really
00:02:57.480 00:02:57.490 good and like I said I'm just learning
00:03:00.630 00:03:00.640 how to use this table there's all kinds
00:03:02.310 00:03:02.320 of different ways and different clamping
00:03:04.020 00:03:04.030 methods and different clamps to use so
00:03:07.110 00:03:07.120 far I'm really liking it it's pretty
00:03:08.490 00:03:08.500 cool there's just a few pieces here you
00:03:10.680 00:03:10.690 know I've got these L pieces and I got
00:03:12.570 00:03:12.580 these L pieces are gonna be welded to
00:03:15.390 00:03:15.400 these pieces and those pieces at piece
00:03:17.430 00:03:17.440 it's just a whole bunch of everything
00:03:18.900 00:03:18.910 that I want to get as much as I can
00:03:21.050 00:03:21.060 fabricate it so when I do the assembly
00:03:23.970 00:03:23.980 here it's just that much easier yeah
00:03:26.310 00:03:26.320 again just you know fireball square
00:03:30.200 00:03:30.210 fixture clamp clamps I love it
00:03:33.930 00:03:33.940 everything is nice and flat nice and
00:03:35.790 00:03:35.800 square alright so here's the first party
00:03:38.010 00:03:38.020 assembly now I'm I'm getting a chance to
00:03:40.170 00:03:40.180 use some of these fab block squares that
00:03:44.310 00:03:44.320 that came with the table now not just
00:03:47.100 00:03:47.110 one I've used every single fab lok
00:03:50.520 00:03:50.530 square different size and fixture clamp
00:03:53.220 00:03:53.230 that i could possibly use I'm just
00:03:55.620 00:03:55.630 learning like I said how all this stuff
00:03:57.930 00:03:57.940 works and I gotta say it is just such a
00:04:01.260 00:04:01.270 pleasure to use all this stuff and you
00:04:03.030 00:04:03.040 can see I've got them all there I got
00:04:05.010 00:04:05.020 the big ones on the far end down there I
00:04:06.720 00:04:06.730 got the tube fatter ones there and the
00:04:09.240 00:04:09.250 smaller ones I got all the fixture
00:04:10.800 00:04:10.810 clamps holding everything in place and
00:04:12.720 00:04:12.730 everything is perfectly square and they
00:04:15.660 00:04:15.670 just allowed me to get everything tacked
00:04:17.820 00:04:17.830 in and just welded out as much as I
00:04:20.160 00:04:20.170 could get possibly welded out before I
00:04:22.710 00:04:22.720 start taking everything down and I'm
00:04:25.530 00:04:25.540 telling you that this worked out really
00:04:27.150 00:04:27.160 good something that I'm not quite used
00:04:30.720 00:04:30.730 to it just speeds up fabrication
00:04:33.860 00:04:33.870 tremendously alright I got it all down
00:04:37.710 00:04:37.720 as well
00:04:38.129 00:04:38.139 as much as I could anyway and it's just
00:04:40.439 00:04:40.449 a matter of taking off all the clamps
00:04:42.119 00:04:42.129 and fixed your clamps and squares and
00:04:43.800 00:04:43.810 then we get this thing stood up and
00:04:45.899 00:04:45.909 there it is so I got to finish out the
00:04:48.689 00:04:48.699 rest of the welding now you know I I
00:04:52.140 00:04:52.150 like to weld everything completely all
00:04:55.080 00:04:55.090 the way around and you don't really have
00:04:56.700 00:04:56.710 to or I mean you know this isn't taking
00:05:00.119 00:05:00.129 structurally this isn't taking a big
00:05:01.769 00:05:01.779 load this is a light load but if you
00:05:04.409 00:05:04.419 leave any open gaps it just allows water
00:05:07.409 00:05:07.419 moisture to get trapped inside there and
00:05:09.839 00:05:09.849 just cause rust Ontarian a lot faster if
00:05:13.140 00:05:13.150 you weld all the way around that's the
00:05:14.999 00:05:15.009 way I like to do it anyway I know it
00:05:16.920 00:05:16.930 takes a little bit longer but you know
00:05:18.719 00:05:18.729 what the overall product is is much
00:05:20.730 00:05:20.740 better now I had to put these up these
00:05:23.610 00:05:23.620 little dividers in between and again I
00:05:26.189 00:05:26.199 couldn't decide to whether to put one or
00:05:27.570 00:05:27.580 two but this is some 14 gauge sheet
00:05:29.850 00:05:29.860 metal I'm going to be using here same
00:05:31.679 00:05:31.689 stuff I used on the bottom of the
00:05:33.269 00:05:33.279 welding table and the ultimate welding
00:05:35.010 00:05:35.020 cart I had some stuff left over you'll
00:05:37.170 00:05:37.180 see that in just a minute
00:05:38.519 00:05:38.529 so I thought this would fit to two
00:05:40.739 00:05:40.749 dividers on each shelf plus the bottom
00:05:44.249 00:05:44.259 shelf would be enough to support you
00:05:47.999 00:05:48.009 know the sheet metal here again you know
00:05:50.070 00:05:50.080 there's tons of welds here you know you
00:05:51.809 00:05:51.819 don't realize it but there's probably a
00:05:53.309 00:05:53.319 couple of hundred welds right here all
00:05:55.019 00:05:55.029 the way around all these little tiny
00:05:56.579 00:05:56.589 pieces it takes a long time to get it
00:05:58.589 00:05:58.599 all done but it's welding and it's a
00:06:01.409 00:06:01.419 project that's fun so I'm just gonna
00:06:04.079 00:06:04.089 grab the walther grinder right here and
00:06:05.790 00:06:05.800 then you can see that the the grinder
00:06:07.829 00:06:07.839 rack right there and the outlet the
00:06:09.360 00:06:09.370 convenience of it all on this table I've
00:06:11.579 00:06:11.589 only had this table for a couple weeks
00:06:13.950 00:06:13.960 and it's already serving its purpose
00:06:16.219 00:06:16.229 perfectly so I'm just gonna grind off
00:06:19.740 00:06:19.750 some of this not all the wells but
00:06:21.980 00:06:21.990 flatten out the areas where the sheet
00:06:24.929 00:06:24.939 metal is going to be going so everything
00:06:26.309 00:06:26.319 sits there nice and flat maybe some of
00:06:28.350 00:06:28.360 the outside corner joints there just
00:06:30.719 00:06:30.729 make it look better after paint just
00:06:34.290 00:06:34.300 cleaning things up a little bit you know
00:06:36.600 00:06:36.610 you can't get all the welds but you know
00:06:38.700 00:06:38.710 just the ones that are gonna be exposed
00:06:40.200 00:06:40.210 that are gonna be seen that makes a
00:06:42.240 00:06:42.250 really big difference there it is you
00:06:44.490 00:06:44.500 can see it rocking a little bit there
00:06:46.019 00:06:46.029 now I do have a solution for that and
00:06:47.820 00:06:47.830 we'll get to that here in a little bit
00:06:49.889 00:06:49.899 I'm just finishing up the last of the
00:06:51.990 00:06:52.000 right here and you can see here's that
00:06:54.180 00:06:54.190 sheet metal I saved a couple pieces that
00:06:56.190 00:06:56.200 was left over from the welding cart
00:06:58.260 00:06:58.270 video now this stuff is pretty expensive
00:07:01.020 00:07:01.030 and so I hung onto it and just look at
00:07:03.720 00:07:03.730 these two pieces are almost perfect for
00:07:05.730 00:07:05.740 this doesn't always work that way but in
00:07:08.010 00:07:08.020 this case I'm glad it did this one
00:07:09.600 00:07:09.610 didn't require too much just a little
00:07:11.070 00:07:11.080 bit of trimming on the corners to allow
00:07:12.960 00:07:12.970 to get in around the square tubing there
00:07:16.230 00:07:16.240 and a little bit off the top piece right
00:07:18.480 00:07:18.490 there works pretty good however it
00:07:20.910 00:07:20.920 wasn't enough to finish the project but
00:07:22.530 00:07:22.540 I did have some left over from the
00:07:24.060 00:07:24.070 welding table bottom here and I just
00:07:27.060 00:07:27.070 went and just sliced off a section
00:07:29.130 00:07:29.140 that's gonna leave me about a 4 foot by
00:07:31.380 00:07:31.390 4 foot piece and you can bet I'm gonna
00:07:33.000 00:07:33.010 hang on to that because I'll use it
00:07:34.470 00:07:34.480 somewhere down the road and there it is
00:07:37.190 00:07:37.200 just like that all pieces are set in
00:07:40.710 00:07:40.720 there so I thought the best way to to
00:07:42.930 00:07:42.940 attach it is just some little spot welds
00:07:44.940 00:07:44.950 about every 6 or 8 inches apart right
00:07:46.740 00:07:46.750 here you know I just filled the I just
00:07:48.780 00:07:48.790 fill them in on the inside of the little
00:07:50.400 00:07:50.410 quarter inch hole diameter that's just a
00:07:52.350 00:07:52.360 little flat little bubble it worked out
00:07:53.790 00:07:53.800 really good you know I'm just using
00:07:55.890 00:07:55.900 these clamps to hold everything nice and
00:07:57.360 00:07:57.370 tight and it's pretty important just
00:07:59.159 00:07:59.169 clamp everything down I've learned the
00:08:00.990 00:08:01.000 hard way if you don't do this you have
00:08:03.090 00:08:03.100 problems but this worked out pretty good
00:08:05.730 00:08:05.740 right here you can't ever have enough
00:08:07.980 00:08:07.990 clamps now this is the leg adjustment
00:08:11.190 00:08:11.200 thing that was talking about this is
00:08:13.830 00:08:13.840 just an idea this is a half-inch nut and
00:08:16.170 00:08:16.180 I wanted to be able to put it inside the
00:08:18.750 00:08:18.760 square tube it didn't quite fit so I had
00:08:21.150 00:08:21.160 to do a little bit of grinding knock a
00:08:23.640 00:08:23.650 couple of edges off in order for him to
00:08:25.530 00:08:25.540 fit in there a little hot I was trying
00:08:28.530 00:08:28.540 to get it down without doing it but I
00:08:30.420 00:08:30.430 had to resort to the pliers of
00:08:32.159 00:08:32.169 channellocks
00:08:32.790 00:08:32.800 this is a half inch bolt right here and
00:08:35.130 00:08:35.140 you can see I just put him in there and
00:08:37.020 00:08:37.030 then put some tape on the threads so
00:08:38.399 00:08:38.409 that when I was welding these things in
00:08:40.680 00:08:40.690 place that I wouldn't get any spatter on
00:08:42.540 00:08:42.550 the threads and I just put a couple
00:08:45.660 00:08:45.670 little tacks in each corner that wasn't
00:08:48.090 00:08:48.100 a lot to work with and then a little bit
00:08:49.980 00:08:49.990 of filler material on the sides right
00:08:51.630 00:08:51.640 there and then took the tape off and
00:08:53.880 00:08:53.890 there's the adjustable legs right there
00:08:55.560 00:08:55.570 like I said not a lot to work with but
00:08:57.990 00:08:58.000 not doesn't require too much and then I
00:09:01.650 00:09:01.660 just repeated that with a 93
00:09:05.610 00:09:05.620 I had left and that worked out pretty
00:09:08.220 00:09:08.230 good I've never done anything like that
00:09:09.720 00:09:09.730 but it was a good little little
00:09:11.579 00:09:11.589 adjustment there the surface that this
00:09:14.370 00:09:14.380 is going to be sitting on is really
00:09:15.570 00:09:15.580 uneven so this is going to work out
00:09:17.100 00:09:17.110 pretty good all right there it is
00:09:18.840 00:09:18.850 complete you know this was a great
00:09:20.280 00:09:20.290 little project for me it worked out
00:09:21.780 00:09:21.790 really good I got a coat of paint on it
00:09:23.550 00:09:23.560 you got the orchids in its place and I
00:09:26.130 00:09:26.140 really enjoyed the build it was a big
