Building A Modern Industrial TV Stand

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- Metalworking and welding is something I am super passionate about. I find it to be extremely fulfilling, beautiful in how it looks, and its also much faster than traditional woodworking for furniture. So when my good buddy Ramy, asked me for some advice for his obnoxiously large TV he recently build, I knew I was going to be thinking something metal. He couldnt find anything online so I gave in and made him this one.

Magnets totally affect the welding arc. Particularly noticeable with TIG but OK if you can get the magnet more than a few inches away. The welding arc is an electric current and and so is deflected by magnetic fields. Nice project by the way.
Ahhhh thanks Ben, makes a ton of sense
If you want to dig deeper it is called arc blow, run into this problem when working on ships and offshore equipment that use powerful magnets for compass and leveling. To combat this switch your machine to AC instead of DC to complete the circuit.
Electromagnetism
Dang! That is beautiful!!
Thanks brother !
Maybe it’s just me, yet. Making cool stuff is one thing. Making cool stuff for a friend is a greater achievement. You can see that in John’s face. Well done. Really enjoy your thinking thru the mess ups.
Thanks Allen! Glad you enjoyed it !! 💪🏻
The feeling of doing something for others and expecting nothing in return. Good feels right there.
Are the fumes from plasma cutting dangerous? I can't imagine they would be kind to your lungs.
They’re not good. Haha. But it looked worse on video than it really was
@@John_Malecki maybe you can Lincoln to hook you up with a fume extractor so you don't get the black lung 😂
Superbad. Its fine grain steel not just fumes
What's the color code you use to paint the forniture? Amazing Job!!!!
I dont know how anyone can run a grinder with a cut off wheel and not have the guard on it. Seen way too many horror stories of people having them explode on them
Magnets? I don't MIX Stick/TIG/MIG & MAG. I just don't. It's not funny ;)
How do you not have a tv show yet man!?! By far the best camera work and background music when building. Plus the shit you build is A1 sauce!
Thank you! Maybe someday
Beer number four, definetly not doing any work in the shop tonight.
Early start this week hah
Fine John, fine. You convinced me. I'll click that subscribe button finally. (Really it was the fact that I missed the last two videos without even realizing it).
YES! Taylor, it is a pleasure to have you as a subscriber!
Where do you get your angle grinder sparks from? They are so pretty....
I never mix magnets and welding. Mostly because I don’t weld.
Nice project!
How long have you been doing this? How many hours?
Love the paint job on that sweet TV stand. When you get into a pickle, just gotta dill.
Hahahaha yes more pickle
The posing comment at the end was priceless. Very cool build and entertaining video.
Thank you!
At 7:15 look like you could use FR pants. I know you are a professional but Makes me nervous seeing someone pointing the business end of a plasma cutter at their at their feet
I think it was more the angle of the camera, it shoots straight down. The sparks on my boots are from the angle grinder, those are harmless ! I appreciate the concern tho!
sweet. The magnets might mess with your welds, but they are also aligning your Chee... So, there's that...
Damn you and your science Greg!! Hahahah
Captain OSHA here, holding onto the guard of the grinder is super sketchy, if you need a second hand hold on that thing throw the side handle on it, be a shame if you had to change the name of this Chanel to Nubs Malecki the Builder
I know I know, it was very light and not something i typically do. I was looking for some very light control on it then, but you're 100% right. Shouldve put a handle on
I was gunna say sumthin but didnt want to be that guy
John Malecki they're not cool like the cordless grinders, but scope out a small 6amp 4.5" unit. I've got a half dozen Milwaukee ones, they're compact enough that you can wrap your hand around them just shy of the gear housing and I find they work great for detail work that requires a light touch. Only thing better are the little 2" sanding pads on a die grinder.
Chris White, I don't love being "that guy" either, but couldn't not point that one out.
Just judging by the size of those massive mitts. John has more surface coverage on that thing just using one hand than most people do with two hands.
Awesome build! I felt like it needed some low key adjustable feet but that's probably because none of my floors are perfectly level 👊🏼
Yes you're probably right, neither were these, but man do i hate the look of adjustable feet!
DC (Direct Current) is why the welds are being affected. AC isn’t affected by the magnet or magnetized material. Awesome build!
Another fine job John, by the way what kind of hamster was that in the beginning of the video?😂
Hahah thanks Dan, thats my buddies little guy.
23 15/16 . . . SRSLY? 🙈🤯
Go METRIC FCOL! 😂
Freedom units. I like to suffer ....
JOHN....GREAT BUILD, I LOVE IT.....I DID NOT CATCH THE SHEET METAL GUAGE, WHAT DID YOU USE 16, 18, 20?
it is 16g I believe
Great build. But just saying, the metric system is much easier to use. You just need a regular calculator.
Freedom units only over here
@@John_Malecki seems a little more restrictive though 😉
Yeah, if you get too close to the magnet and you will have to chase that arc all over the place. Heat is not good for magnets, a few quick tacks is about all you should do with magnet at weld joint (other side of joint) otherwise they will rapidly weaken.
Thanks Nate,
thats what i thought but it sometimes makes even a tack close to impossible haha
Muy bueno exelente proyecto!.. un saludo desde Uruguay 🇺🇾 .
Cuales son las medidas en cm. por favor!...
Great video. I exclusively work with wood but love your metal stuff too because there’s always a few good problem solving tidbits!
PS what is that CALCULATOR??? I need that!
Agreed!
Also need to know what calculator that is
Fraction Calculator Plus #1 - App Store.
Thans Sean, and a calculator is this ancient technology, it helps do the maths'
Fraction calc in the app store!
John, just found your channel. Well done man, really nice projects and great video/editing. Thanks for the hard work!
With builds like these I always have to wonder. Sure, guys might get kicks from a huge heavy metal box in their house with grating mesh for the doors. It looks "Industrial" and manly. But how does the girlfriend feel about it? )
In my experience most women prefer something softer, warmer and more homely - made of wood.
This came together beautifully!! I love the paint color. Looks like it has a hint of blue
It’s actually matte black, but because it’s water based it looks blue before spraying haha
Pretty cool John. I have a question about the paint you used. Was it Latex or Oil based DTM? Reason I ask is because of your Respirator Filter choice. I'm a Commercial Painter and the filter you used was for oil base paints. It will not filter out Latex based paints. You need a pink HEPA Filter for that. Plus no offense the beard doesn't allow your mask to seal anyway. At least that's what I've been told. Just food for thought...
It’s water based. Thank you for the tip on the respirator !
Muito bonito John Malecki.
i thought it was wood in the opening segment, in the end you could see how it got that way but all metal might be poor on acoustics from the TV (depends on the TV speaker orientation, down firing could cause drumming on the metal, wood is more forgiving on that), looks great tho. Must have taken a long time to do all that welding. Wish i could weld :-( you are lucky to have this great array of tools and workshop facilities to use to create these great projects
Thanks Brett!
1. What paint did you use and what paint gun? it went on beautifully.
2. Love your podcast. I just started listening to podcasts the other day and are through a few of yours already. Very motivational and inspiring!
Thanks! Derek . gardners garage
Thanks Derek! Its a DTM Paint from Sherwin Williams (Direct to Metal) and the gun is a GRACO HVLP
Electricity and magnetism as forces can be unified into electromagnetic radiation, they are like twins. Together they make light and microwaves and infra red lamps etc. Yep I guess the magnet deflects the stream of plasma that you are making and so the heat goes somewhere else. You could get some of those "no-magnet" magnets that don't interact with electric currents but they unfortunately only exist in a different type of universe.
Awesome Build John! I like the Industrial Look!!! It just yells "Strong and Mighty"!!!
Thank you! We’re loving how it came

Cool build. The video editing makes it hard to watch. 3,000 video clips and you never really get to see how it was built.
Magnetic Arc blow. You should take one or two welding classes at a local college. They'll go over all that basic stuff. Especially since you have so many subscribers learning from you. Magnets make the arc wander.
Why do i need a welding class? I know how to weld, i just needed clarity on why that happened.
I got a similar industrial metal tv stand 70 inch that i purchased from wayfair from $800 was on sale typically these stands sells over $2000 grand
Talked my bandsaw vise into rotating angle and flat bar stacks 270°. She's been a lot easier to get along with now that we're communicating again. It's not about what you put in her jaws, but how you let the loose ones wiggle to and fro until she explodes. It's a she done this and she done that too time, whatever that means. Peace.
glad to hear you got that all worked out haha
Magnetic arc blow is caused by the magnetic fields in the joint becoming unbalanced. It is not as common with thinner material but it is still possible and magnets can cause issues but if your just fitting and tacking they work great.
What a cool gift for a bud, big guy. Especially one from Rutgers! 😜JK. I really liked this one. A lot of burning in this one. I like your mix of mediums. It's really showing your talents with both design and craftsmanship. You always create something worth watching and that'll keep people coming back. That and your flexibility. How does that pose go again? 😛Haaaaaa! Well done, 62. Troy
Thanks Troy, Appreciate the support my friend !
Ihr Amerikaner baut viel bessere DIY Möbel als wir Deutschen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perfekt!!!!
Gruß aus Deutschland!!!
Magnets are fucking up the welds, have the same issues. Nice work you're doing. Dig the industrial thing!
/Mikael
Thanks mikael!
Wonderful..Can you send me tv corner size details plz i want to make this
Another great build. I’m sitting in the living room watching as my TV is sitting on an old dresser. The wife has been nagging me for over a year now to build a stand. Guess I ought to get to it.
Better get on that brother !
Yep, surely true that magnets messup with the welding ! They deviate the flow ... horrible . Thus just tack it and get rid of the magnets !!! Ops.... editing, just forgot to say AWESOME built dude !!!
Thanks Ricardo, yea we try and tack and get the magnets removed ASAP
What would you say is the benefit to having a horizontal bandsaw if you have a slugger? I have a slugger and cannot think of one.
Batch cutting and longer pieces . If you watch my video on building my station, I use it to batch cut all the pieces. Makes it super fast
I like all content creators early vids its the most honest representation of how they r
Details on the music starting at 3:35? It's like a royalty free queens of the stone age.
This is really awesome, can someday publish the schematics? or can i buy them? i liked this whole video and the final product is beyond awesome, great work John
Glad you enjoyed it David, this was a one off piece so i most likely wont do plans
John I enjoyed the build and the video style was a bit different from your usually videos but I really enjoyed the change. As always awesome work man. That tv stand is a serious work of art.
Yea we're going to be doing a lot more of that, it just seems more fun and I know a lot of people cant make what im making, so lets make them entertained! Thanks Pat!
Is youtube still uploading the higher quality? I can only see 360p. Other than that, great project!
They are haha, so slow sometimes. come back and check it out in an hour!
I remember the first time my friends and I saw a mentor on our robotics team use one of those toothed metal chopsaw blades. We never heard of the technology before, and we hid behind a workbench thinking he was about to use a wood blade to cut aluminum. We were amazed, it is truly cool technology, not having to have a lot of sparks when cutting steel.
Yea its truly awesome!
Great welding job! Race Car approval! Great sense of humor!
Hahaha not even close to race car worthy, but thank you
Great video, I have my metal sitting in the shop (for months) for my console. This may give me the itch to punch it in the face and het it done.
Hells ya dude! CRUSH IT
Bad *ss built! Looks awesome and definitely makes me want to run to the shop and get some welds going!
Yea i feel we can all use some more welds !
The only reason I watched to the end is because I thought his girlfriend would make an appearance.
What a let-down.
Oh, nice build.
Yea she was at work bringing home the bacon, while us children were playing around in the house in the middle of the day....
What is the size of the angle please.... Good work
Looks awesome......your buddy seemed genuinely thrilled nice job.
Yea him and his GF were pumped
Which paint did u use?
This is a Direct To Metal paint (DTM) From sherwin williams
That's a sweet build. Really suits the style of apartment. Awesome work As Per.
Thanks Gary !
Awesome build John! I really like how you show the problem solving. - Jim
Yea no one is perfect, glad you enjoyed it!
Hey john, great video. What spray gun are you using?
Thanks Joe, Its A Graco HVLP PRO 9.5
And still wasn't paid enough for it 😂
what fraction calculator app are you using?
Welder For 25 Years. They do effect the weld. Why? Good Question! Let me know when you find out :)
Hahahah will do !
As a welder for almost 10 years it’s called magnetic arc blow. Essentially when you weld you are creating a small magnetic field around your part, when you introduce a magnet it’s makes the poles in your weld get squirly thus weld looks like poo poo, chances of John seeing this are low so here’s an Easter egg. If you take welding cable and strip the insulation and wrap it around a non ferrous metal(stainless) you can magnatise it
cool...love your job
Thanks Ali!
Nice. A wooden top would have enhanced the look .
Awesome build. I use that fraction calculator app as well.
Yea it helps my simple brain often haha
Nice work John! Just found your channel! Subbed now🤙🏼 one thing I noticed is the amount of what I think is smoke or could be dust/debris blown around when your using your plasma if that’s smoke that’s not normal so I’m thinking that’s dust? I don’t know whatever great content
That looks absolutely insanely awesome!! Love it! Great way to incorporate metal into the home
Thank you, it did turn out well!
Magnets are mainly meant for tacking 📌
John, as a certified welding inspector I can say 1000% that magnets 🧲 mess up a weld. It basically pulls the plasma to one side or the other, thats why degaussing magnetized pipe is such a big deal on pipelines where we want the boom stuff to stay where we want it.
Been bringing your whole library while I'm between projects, keep it up, get squirelly!!!🐿
Very good job John! Nice stand! I like it
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it
What kind calculator u used ? I need to download in my phone
Its a fraction calculator app , just look it up in t he apple store
Damn! That’s exactly the kinda TV stand I’m currently looking for, but all the ones I find aren’t wide enough and I’d have to pay with my first born. Good job!
Hi John. I really like your stand. I'm an welding Instructor with the Salt Lake Community college. The question was Does the magnets effect the welds? The answer is yes in the flow of the electricity for the arc. It gets distorted, but not to the point of the weld fusing to the base material or the joint your welding. you may see discontinuity of the weld face or undercut an an example. Now Electricity will flow to the point of least resistance, when you add a magnet in the joint closest to the weld point and the electricity get redirected slightly that's when it may effect the weld itself, but using magnets to tack the joint together the welds themselves are not effected because when the liquid metal solidifies, its doesn't hurt the grain structure because the magnets are just not that strong to effect it to much. I hope this helps understanding how welds work and to answer the question.
I miss Pittsburgh. I so need to do a road trip. Great build as well.
Thanks Colleen, Pittsburgh rules!
You are a profesional builder.
Thank you !
Will be my first project when I get setup.. Thx. Love it. Need something to keep me buys..new hobby. Thx.
Go ahead and hit that subscribe button!
Really the only time the magnet REALLY effects a weld is when there's a potential for super high pressure leaks or stand alone structural welding. Other than that, the welding effects the magnet more than the magnets effect the welding
Hey John I’m in a ROP welding class at my high school and I was wondering if you have any blueprints or plans for this build. If you did I would love and try to see if I can build it myself. If not sorry for bothering and have a good day.
As a Sheet Metal Worker, I've always felt like I can't use my trade to any practical use around my home. Now I've found one, thanks for the inspiration :p
Awesome project John! Love it!
Thank you! !!
What is your paint ratio? If you thin it
Killer build! That thing is a monster.
Yea dude it’s huge !
Great video, awesome build 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
What type of welding do you use?
MIG
that tv stand must weight like a ton. awesome work.... simple and elegant.
Its not too bad, two of us lifted it easily
@@John_Malecki yeah but you both used to be elit atlethe's :D
That came out great 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Brother!
That could really be awesome to have your plan if you got some, awesome job btw
Sorry man no plan for this one
@@John_Malecki No prob gotta try to do one by myself, much support from France
Hi friend, stayed on, could you pass me the measurements?
its roughtly 8' x 20" x 20"
@@John_Malecki Thanks brother.
God damn look at that bad ass Chain Saw
If you're talking about the one in the background, yes shes big haha
Inspired by Ikea fjällbo?
Never heard of it
Have you got a material list?
Awesome work John! 😍👍🏻👊🏻
