GREAT job! MAN, I've got to get another welder. I miss doing stuff like this. I was looking at these from another company and they were like 200 bucks, or so. I love the way the 90⁰ bends turned out with the expando. Just so clean and neat.
Thanks Howder, it's amazing what a little paint will do. I used to skip the painting on almost everything but have gotten a little better in the last few years. Showing things on RUclips has encouraged me to make things look a little better which has made me happier with them as well.
Very good design ideas in that project for sure, thanks. You said in a reply that you are cheap for doing things yourself. Well there is another way of thinking. A lot of people couldn't do things for themselves....you/us have an option. I just don't like to have anyone come and do things around my place. My wife keeps saying get someone to come an help you. Not me, more and more I like to work alone. So I don't feel like you are cheap for doing things for yourself you are talented and you can do them yourself. By the way, did you ever try to drill those bed angles. They must be hardened or something wow it just burns up my bits. And thank you for this video.
Thanks for the encouragement, I work alone most of the time as well. On the bed frames, I have used a bunch of them and it depends on the frame. I had one that would work harden very quickly and burn up the bit or snap it. It would start just fine but about 1/4 of the way in it would get really hard. I read somewhere that some steels can work harden while you drill them. Other ones have been fine.
Thank you !
You're welcome!

That’s awesome, you should sell those I would be your first customer, I need one in a bad way
Thanks!
Always useful projects. Your channel reminds me of Project Farm - very practical and real life. Thanks for the content.
Looks good . Man that black paint es it look like a factory addition, very nice job and just what the doctor ordered, cheers!

Nice project. Another creative solution. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mike!
this is EXACTLY the problem I am solving for a 1979 Yanmar 2210D. Nowhere to store anything! (at least not yet)
Good luck with your project!
clean build. Thanks for sharing. Planning to make one myself :-)
Awesome! Hope it goes well for you.
