Hey bud just a quick observation and suggestion. My experience servicing heavy equipment in the steel mill industry working around one off type tools made to service 1 piece of machinery. Please consider trimming your outer tube 1/2 inch or placing a stop at the bottom so your Bottle jack plate on the inner tube does not stop hard on that outer tube. I could see the cringe in your face when dropping those in with your fingers wrapped around that plate. The pinch point could end-up being a bad day on the farm for someone just trying to let the stand down getting a finger pinched there.
Finger-pinching is a problem that all jack-stands share, especially the traditional sawtooth-shaft ones. I've lost more bits of skin off my hands using jack-stands than from any other type of tool or implement, including angle-grinders, which are supposedly the most dangerous hand-held tool there is. I've only ever had one or two minor grinder incidents, but I lose skin literally every time I touch a jack-stand. Those pinches hurt far more than they should, too. Far as I'm concerned, jack-stand shafts could have been effectively used as a medieval torture instruments. It would bring a whole new meaning to death by a thousand *painful* cuts lol.
@@ElvicFarms Then you're in the minority. Saw-tooth jack-stands are notorious for pinching off little chunks of flesh. Anyone who's ever moved jack-stands around in a hurry has experienced that.
I have been in the fabricating industry for 30 years, now have my own small shop. Came across your Channel Last year. When I get stressed and need a relaxation outlet I turn to yours or Bob Ross! Your projects are interesting and your video presentation and narration I find very satisfying and relaxing! My wife will come through the living room and say “are you watching the Rainman welder guy again?” I just smile and say yes. To those that gave thumbs down, there are millions of worthless fabricating videos worth trolling and giving negative comments, leave this channel alone!
Nothing better than fabricating you own product. No limitations now expectations. Just yourself to please. The sky is the limit. Love it. Good work. Great exercise of skill
I just discovered your channel about a week ago. I am getting close to watching every video you have made now, and I am amazed! Thank you for the great content, witty humor, and just generally being a good guy, you sir are a rare gem!
Watching this video I remembered how much I like seeing all the VO-AG (vocational/agricultural) projects during State Fair time! Always a pleasure to see something so useful being fabricated on the farm/ranch. Always exposed to welding growing up, but finally my birthday snuck up on me, so I bought my first welding system for a buddy and me...and off we went! So great to fabricate around the homestead! Thanks for sharing, enjoyable as always! Now to check out your sponsor HONEY, I've heard good things about them!
Awesome project. Really looking forward to the fit-out of that van too. Oh, and you definitely need a crane. I built mine and have never looked back. Its such a backsaver, especially as we age....😮. Jib and a vacuum lift! See you on the next one!
made a similar set for working on my jeep so i can have it jacked up by the frame and droop the axles out, just 1" tubing inside of 1.5" tubing with a 3/8" pin, did the same 1" off set holes to double the positions, used 3 "legs" rather than a flat bottom to make them sit flat and be useable and pretty uneven surfaces before someone says im crazy for only using a 3/8" pin realize the single shear of 3/8" grade 8 is 16,000lbs and these stands use double shear so 32,000 lbs per corner.. you could balance a jeep on a single stand and still have a 6x safety factor
I would like to recommend the Fireball triangle to you. They are insanely useful in the kind of work you do and they are the type of purchase that will last you a lifetime. They have been endlessly useful to my work and they make fabrication super fast because it makes measurement, alignment and clamping super fast and fiddly free. Anyway, just a recommendation from a fan of Fireball triangles and your RUclips channel..
A couple helpful tips for you: instead of always using hard wire MIG, swap over to Flux Core wire. Since you often weld through mill scale, MIG is not great for penetration and strength. Flux Core is basically wire-fed stick welding. Stronger, no gas, less prep. With your Mag Drill, instead of large twist bits, use some annular cutters. You don't need the pilot holes since the annual cutter is basically a hole saw. Faster, more precise, less wear. For your jack stands, next time space the outer tube by using some MIG wire laid on two sides. that 0.035 gap will be perfect fit and clearance for sliding them and keeping them sure-fitting. Always enjoy your work ethic, creativity, and attention to detail!
Hey big guy awesome build! I have made a set of jack stands as well and one thing that really helped is I put two gas springs inside the stand in the corners so it wouldn’t interfere with the cross pin. I weighed the top piece with the jack on it then went to McMaster Carr and sized two gas springs (or shocks) that had the right amount of travel and external force to lift the top portion. Then I plasma cut a plate to sit inside the bottom piece and the top piece with holes in the corners to line up the threaded ends of the shocks. I put nuts on the threaded ends of the shocks to push against the plasma pieces. And then put it all back together. Now I slide the stand under pull the pin and the top sits still and I push up with about 5lbs of force and I can easily set the pin hole where ever I like. And since the gas springs and plasma plates aren’t welded in I can just lift the top out if one ever fails and I need to replace it. I also drilled holes on the blank side of the jack stand half a spacing off from the original holes. Really helped with adjustability in any scenario.
Nice job!! Save the headache of drill holes by pulling a few grids on your plasma and tack a fixture where top of tubes set flush. Then let the plasma do all your holes. To load your sheets get a plate clamp and a chain hoist and make a swinging jib arm. Great video!!
Awesome set of jack stands. I like the wheel idea. Having a plasma CNC on hand makes life so much easier. I should have my second Langmuir built in the next week or two. I was so glad when they came out with one that would fit in a small shop.
Nice work. They turned out great...👍 A little tip from one metal fabricator to another, is to try and finish drilling holes etc. on the individual parts before welding everything together. Most often it will save you a lot of time and frustration.. Sometimes you can't get access to everything when it's been welded together.. It would also enable you to tack the 4 outer pieces on top of each other and drill through them all in one go.. Then you're sure the holes will line up later... Looking forward to seeing more of your projects... Subscribed
I thought my browser was following me and recommended one of your old videos since I've been looking up jack stands for the last hour to get some ideas for a similar project. Turns out it was serendipity. :)
Justin, Your ingenuity continues to impress and amaze! And your video editing is also excellent! I've been a fan for awhile now and look forward to every time I get notified you have something new out! Namaste!
Hi used a engine hoist with a magnet plate clamp too move your steel plate, from the truck too plasma cutter, nice axle stands 👍👍👍air to bottle jack is quicker than hand cracking used that as a back up no air lol.
I would go with the same kind of hoist system you have in the farm shop over the plasma table. If you get a magnet to hang from it, handling those big sheet of metal will be a piece of cake. Love the videos, although I would love to see more of the farm work. Always fun to see what you are up to on the farm. Cheers from Sweden.
We have similar homemade jack stands at my shop, we work on commercial trucks, the base is a 22.5” semi wheel and the masts are semi trailer jacks, we use them usually to put a body on and be able to vary the height, incredibly handy when rebuilding the subframe of a box truck
I recently made some jack-stands. No way near your size! I was directed to use aluminum cans as spacers. Great hack. As always, excellent work. I’ve been a fan from your first video.
Allen W Aluminum cans as spacers is a great idea. I actually used some strips of 14 gauge for spacers first and that was way too thick for a good fit. Aluminum cans would have worked great. Next time!
Weird, never expected that he meant literal stands for jacks. Going into the video, I was thinking just tall versions of what you use when working on a car. 🤣
@@b5580 yes it is... stop being daft even a dually 3500 only weighs 11,000lbs if you cant weld something that can hold 1/4 of that you should be welding, theres little to no dynamic forces acting on jack stands just static gravity
@@Nevir202 My thinking was the way he did it, its for a huge tractor thats being supported by the wheels, hes just working on parts underneath it, which was very cool. As for working underneath a car those jack stands fail the car is on top of you.
I feel your pain when it comes to shifting sheet onto the cutting table. I have a 1kW fiber laser and sometimes cut 8mm sheet on it. Even with a manual fork lift stacker they are hard to get onto the table. Unfortunately I have no room for a jib crane.
I really enjoy your videos. It would be fantastic if you did a video or two focusing on the path from CAD -> CAM -> plasma cutting. The construction aspect is awesome, but so is the design!
I wonder if you could also be able to mount rollers or other accessories on them with the mounts you made. That way when you're cutting or welding big pieces or equipment they can be used to hold it up while you work on or cut it.
Pretty slick! Dig it. One concern... those bolts and washers retaining the bottle jacks... my first thought was any heavy lateral shift in weight, like a lean, would shear those right off. Maybe a stronger bracket and clamp system to hold it in place?
Just a thought, look up annular cutters for your mag drill. They make drilling larger than 1/2" holes a breeze and last a lot longer than twist drills. I've got over 1,000 holes on some of mine, they're still drilling fine
You need a swinging Gantry and a lifting Magnet to off load those sheets. Both from your truck and the cart and over your machine to place the sheets! .… Awesome work. I really enjoy your channel. It could be your next project. :)
Great project. Maybe for your next project you should fabricate a overhead gantry crane. It would help picking up and moving heavy plate steel like that. You don't want to screw up your back.
I do use HONEY on all my online purchases.... for more than a year I've been very pleased! To help get ALL of that weight off of you when wrestling with steel plates (etc.) ....construct yourself an overhead HOISTING mechanism from just inside your double shop door from the ceiling. I'm fully confident you can engineer that rail and pulley system with no trouble...but you'll definitely need extra "hands on deck" when installing it way up there! :-))
I once rented one of those magnetic drill presses for a job but the magnet kept slipping, it was obviously just worn but now every time i see one i get tool ptsd
Many times, the magnet is still very strong, but physical wear on the bottom surface could reduce the magnet's contact area with the material you're drilling. Also, the magnets hold better to thicker steel. So, if you have any way of adding an extra piece of steel under the material you're drilling will help keep it from wandering off.
+1 for gantry crane and a magnetic pick up like Fireball tools featured at his friend’s garage. But while I’m here can I say I enjoy your sponsor spots almost as much as your videos. Instead of talk talk talk and showing screen shots of the services offered, you make make something which is why we all come here. So keep it up.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Rainfall Projects it is definitely NOT the norm and shows real class and respect that you do it that way. I get tired of watching screen shots of a some Video game with a voiceover..-and your projects for the sponsor are as well done as your usual ones. So envious of the life you seem to have. Balance, genuineness, joy and taking care of people. Wishing you and your family the very best in 2020. Awesome.
Love the build of these stands but the only thing I would change is the colour. Red, Yellow, something bright so they don't get missed or left where they shouldn't be. Great work.
Hang a beam along the ceiling of your cnc workspace, and put a trolly on it with a chain winch... Size it for the max weight of your plasma table, and make some attachments for carrying plate.
From one Welder/ Fabricator to another, your work is beyond outstanding. I subscribed as soon as I saw you and your best friend riding together. 2 THUMBS UP 👍👍. Oh by the way, make sure you're wearing a cup just in case your balls fall off when lifting those Amazing jack stands. 😎. PS, you might want to invest in a air over oil jacks...just an idea.
Cut a few pieces of wire about an inch long and use it as spacer when you making that fillet weld, helps to square it off and makes a better weld with the little crack. You get much better penetration.
Really enjoy watching your posts. Love the creativity that the CNC's provide you. I have a question about a past post. You restored a Jet 14" bandsaw a number of posts ago. My question is, where did you receive the parts from for that restoration? Could you please provide me with the contact information for where you obtained those parts? Looking forward to your upcoming posts. thank you.
You should really start selling some merch, a good shirt design could be a simple text box "A couple coats of paint". I'd buy the crap out of that shirt lol. Thanks for all your cool videos. I hope one day I can buy some land and build a killer barn shop like you have. I'm still trying to convince my wife that it would be so much more fun than the suberbs.
Jd try spraying the inner tubes with a graphite paint. Make the up and down stay smooth but limit chances of rusting. And it won’t get on everything like grease or never seize would.
You do great work. Look into an electric magnet that runs off a 12 volt car battery. This would help with the heavy stuff and could be used with the fork lift, jib crane, or overhead hoist.

From one Welder/ Fabricator to another, your work is beyond outstanding. I subscribed as soon as I saw you and your best friend riding together. 2 THUMBS UP 👍👍.
Oh by the way, make sure you're wearing a cup just in case your balls fall off when lifting those Amazing jack stands. 😎.
PS, you might want to invest in a air over oil jacks...just an idea.
Best on the internet. I keep saying it because it’s true.
Cut a few pieces of wire about an inch long and use it as spacer when you making that fillet weld, helps to square it off and makes a better weld with the little crack. You get much better penetration.
How were you able to align the mag drill in the correct position for the first hole... when you flipped the assembly around?

2 more and a movable table for uneven ground would be a great use for them
Simple chain hoist for moving materials
Awesome job. You're quite the fabricator
Really enjoy watching your posts. Love the creativity that the CNC's provide you. I have a question about a past post. You restored a Jet 14" bandsaw a number of posts ago. My question is, where did you receive the parts from for that restoration? Could you please provide me with the contact information for where you obtained those parts? Looking forward to your upcoming posts. thank you.
AWESOME JOB .AWESOME SHOP. VERY PROFESSIONAL. AWESOME VEDEO.
You should really start selling some merch, a good shirt design could be a simple text box "A couple coats of paint". I'd buy the crap out of that shirt lol.
Thanks for all your cool videos. I hope one day I can buy some land and build a killer barn shop like you have. I'm still trying to convince my wife that it would be so much more fun than the suberbs.
You do such good work! Amazing.
Jd try spraying the inner tubes with a graphite paint. Make the up and down stay smooth but limit chances of rusting. And it won’t get on everything like grease or never seize would.
Every time I watch one of your videos, I keep thinking you would really benifit in so many ways if you had an Ironworker. Go Cougs!
Excellent job. You have some great suggestions below, so give them some thought.
You do great work. Look into an electric magnet that runs off a 12 volt car battery. This would help with the heavy stuff and could be used with the fork lift, jib crane, or overhead hoist.
Однозначно лайк 👍, надёжно!аккуратно! Вообщем ты молодец 👍👍👍
Nice! Only (critic) I have is I’d of put (level) adjusters on the floor-plate. Dealt with too many uneven surfaces
