    • @JohnP
      @JohnP 5 дней назад

      I'm with you. I think that would be great. The system is really only limited strength-wise by how well it is anchored to a wall. It will depend on whoever installs it I suppose. But we can design some sort of storage for those components. I'm just having a hard time imagining it. We could do something kind of like a cabinet where you hang plates with different tools on them, and then those plates could mount into a common stand or something? If you have other ideas in mind please feed them to me to get the creative juices flowing!

    How about a heavy duty version to support a bench top with structural overhead for lights or dust collection equipment i often find that having movable bench tops adjustable free from floor support would be awesome for us diy people who don't own the property and move a lot you can take your benches with you flat pack style

    • @JohnP
      @JohnP 5 дней назад

      We've already got prototypes for overhead light sorts of things that can attach to the system. So that is in the works. Dust collectors are a little heavier so we'll have to come up with something beefier than the unit for holding LED lights. I also dream of a fold up bench that can hang from the system. You can lift it into position when you want to use it, and then fold it down when you aren't. Is that kind of what you mean?

  • @TBJK07Jeep
    @TBJK07Jeep 14 дней назад

    How about making the cabinet being modular. IE, The back is separate to where you key the sides in. Not only does the make easy to ship but allows you to change the depth of the cabinet, possibly even the height. All making an interchangeable system. Like you could take maybe a door that’s deep, kinda like the Uline bin storage cabinet or the Shadow Staging systems.

    • @JohnP
      @JohnP 5 дней назад

      So, the way the cabinet is built currently, there are two heavy side panels which incorporate the hooks that allow for the mounting to the wall hanging tubing. Then, the top and bottom get riveted on. We can't really vary the height easily, though we could make it longer than the standard 40". We could certainly make doors that have more depth to them, but it still seems like you'd have to choose the depth when you purchase and it wouldn't really be variable after the fact? I should have mentioned though that we are planning on having multiple sizes and depths of cabinets! So that is totally possible. But I don't know how exactly we can make them more modular or expandable or something. I'll mention it to the team to see if we can figure anything out. But obviously if you have ideas please let me know!

      We don't have slots on the front of the cabinet doors. I didn't think about that. I guess I would worry about things sticking out too far. But we could always offer optional or replacement doors with the slots on the outside if there is enough demand for them...

    What welding process and filler metal / electrode do you recommend? Since you say in the comments already posted that the steel is A572 Grade 50, then I presume that a plain carbon steel ER70S-2 wire for GMAW, GTAW, or LLBW would be sufficient or an E7014 or E7018 electrode for SMAW? Also, you could use small magnets to fixture the threaded nuts.

    A drop of cyanoacrylate glue on the nuts will hold them in place long enough to start the bolt on the side skirts and wont be strong enough to interfere with them tightening up. I really like the tab design. I saw a guy making a weld together CNC gantry using tabs only he extended them trough slots all the way and then used a wedge to draw them tight before welding...Self fixturing is cool.

    Can you show how much flex or twist the table has once it’s finished? For example put the table on a flat surface and start to lift one corner. How high does it go before the other corner starts to lift.

    • @texasmetalworks
      @texasmetalworks Месяц назад

      Yes. We'll do that on the follow up video. We'll weld it out and then do some testing. But keep in mind that even extremely heavy, thick tables can and will absolutely twist when stressed. This is why John wrote a blog post about the importance of leveling welding tables to get them flat: texasmetalworks.com/2023/11/21/why-you-should-level-your-welding-table/ This doesn't mean if you leave the table on casters it won't be ok. But it means if you have sophisticated enough equipment you can always measure a difference. But again we'll do some testing! So if there's anything else you want to see tested make sure and keep the requests coming and we will follow on the list!

      Since we're talking about low cost, DIY welding table kits I can't be throwing out terms like "15 thou" and stuff like that. These kits will be built by average people, often at home, so we need to speak a language everyone can understand. I'm always happy to get into a "professional" discussion about the merits of every single technical aspect of building these tables though! After founding the company and spending years building many thousands of tables I can hang with the best of them when need be, I promise. ;-)

    • @JohnP
      @JohnP Месяц назад

      Not sure where you got the 5mm from? You also might not be in the US, but these are 1/4" thick top plates, which is 6.5mm. Some OTHER folks make kits out of 4.75mm, but not us. Also, don't forget we're talking about A572-50 plate. This is very tough material. The other important thing to remember is that we're not talking about just a 1/4" plate with legs. I know people are used to old fashioned tables and you need them to be thicker. But this is a 1/4" top that is supported by a bunch of 4" tall ribs, plus sidewalls. When properly built this thing can support 10,000lbs (not exaggerating). So if the overall engineered solution is flat enough, strong enough, and has all the holes you need to fixture what you need, there's no problem. Not in these DIY variants, but NASA, Tesla, the US Army, and MANY, MANY other very large institutions are using our heavier duty tables and they love them.

    In that you don't read instructions and don't know how to use some of these tools, I guess it's a fair reflection of how your average punter would react to these tools! I think you were aiming to take a 'not too serious' look at these tools and it is definitely worth the watch - thank you. I think these Chinese ' knock offs' can be great value for money (I own quite a lot, mostly based around electronics and woodwork) but you ideally need to have a bit of experience, know what to expect and be prepared to live with their shortcomings. A few points: I would guess there are no spares available for any of these products and no after sales support (not sure if there is a meaningful 12 month guarantee??) so you have to be prepared to junk these tools if they develop a fault. On the super inexpensive tools we would all take a chance, but on the more expensive ones it's worth bearing in mind. Dealer networks and service centers are expensive and in my lifetime I have returned several main brand tools for repair under guarantee. That saved me many hundreds of pounds. The orange compressor is a ripoff of Makita DMP180Z but, unlike the Makita the trigger latches - you have to continually hold the trigger with the Makita. All hot melt guns take an age to warm up. A meaningful test would be to directly compare this to a name brand model. I would say it looks pretty good. I would agree, you certainly don't know how to solder! You could never solder those steel plates without a gas torch and it was a totally pointless and unfair test. The little fan looks like a desk fan and I would not expect it to be able to develop hurricane wind speeds. It would be ideal to blow away soldering fumes when you learn to solder! The two important tests with the pump would have been how many liters per minute it would pump and what head of pressure it would lift. That it can get you wet really doesn't prove much! Thanks again for the reviews.

    20 volt batteries are actually only at 20 volts straight off the charger. They are really 18 volts nominally (just like Ryobi and Milwaukee). Saying they're 20 volt batteries is marketing BS and is actually illegal in many countries. The number on the inverter is different because it includes the parasitic draw from your kill a watt. Plus, it's likely inaccurate to begin with...
