    I’d add 45 degree angle plates in the corners or cross strapping before it gets enclosed with the remaining structure. The twisting forces are going to be quite large and over time will weaken the structure even with the cover material added.

      I was going to say a few diagonal beams might be a good idea but corner plates sounds good.

    WOW those walls are huge. The wind is really going to have a major effect on your shallow draft barge. You will definitely be using your bow thruster A LOT to counter the winds. I assume you will be adding some diagonal bracing to prevent any front to rear or side to side flexing. Good job.

    We have welded various tubes closed and it is always surprising that they are not water tight . Even though the welds look good.
    Over time water gets in and rusts from the inside out.
    You may want to check you welds to avoid this problem

  • @mikeskelly2356
    @mikeskelly2356 6 месяцев назад

    To keep your weld pure, maintain gas flow for a second or two at the end of the weld bead. Until it 'skins over', the weld puddle can absorb contaminants that can compromise the join.

    • @donaldstenico5266

      It's definitely a wind catcher. But no different than some of the houseboats on the water. It could be two stories high.

    You need wind bracing. Use flat straps of metal. Very thin. To make big X shaped braces for each side. It will save you in the long run.

    You need some stealit or other form of weld through primer so your not fighting oxidation on the metal, I understand that on a boat it is just the nature of the environment but the cost is worth it in the long run, very cool built!🎉

  • @idahorefugeecommunityassoc6613

    Your are doing a great job. One idea, I would blot the vertical bars to boat structure and then weld. Simple welding cannot hold a complete structure.

  • @Leightr
    @Leightr Год назад

    For anyone trying to frame a large structure by yourself, a good assortment of tension/ ratchet straps is a huge help in getting things lined up and square before the final weld/ bolt/ nail. And as demonstrated here, also a big help in getting heavy or awkward beams/ posts/ tubing into place with only one set of hands. I'd place them only slightly behind clamps for handiness on big jobs.
