I went to the scrap yard today and picked up over 100 nuts from 1" to 2.5" diameter nuts. I been wanting to try this for years and finally got the materials. Cool project.
I'm new to your videos, but I'm very impressed by your work and creativity.. great work! thumbs up and just subscribed. looking forward to more vids :)
Kiitos! Tarkoitus ei ole kopioida ketään. Joskus nopeutettu video vaan on niin paljon helpompi editoida, että monet kanavat (ja katsojat) ovat tykästyneet siihen.
AWESOME! this is just fantastic! i have two or three cans full of nuts if you don`t mind i would like my own! either way is ok man :) thanks and this opens so much possibilities for commenting! hahahaha well best keep it family oriented huh? :D it looks like 8 or 10 mm round waay delicate, and nice! i would`ve gone for at least 16mm and it would have ended like an awful tank haha. in steel i trust! :) take care pete are you using 6013? nice rod handling
+thebrokenbone Go right ahead... weld'em up and make your own. Yes i was a little curious about what comments would appear… the english language is full of opportunities :D That is 10 mm round, sturdy enough. Good observation, nuts and legs welded with 2.5 mm 6013 @ 75 amps. The frame around the nuts with 7018 @ 40 amps. Thanks for your comment!
I gotta ask, if you had a grinder and wire wheel, why didn't you clean the metal before you welded it? The electrodes have additives in the flux to combat porosity but I don't think that the penetration on that stool was very good. What rod were you using? Obviously the stool has already been built and appears to serve you well. Regardless the issues with the cleaning you did a good job and it looks great. It's a Nice build and I hope to see many more. Oh and cheers from Kansas lol
Good point. Guess i simply didn't think about brushing it off before welding. Rod was Esab OK 46.00 (6013). I'm not a welder so if it stays attached when i jump or sit on it, thats good enough. Cheers.
I really enjoyed watching you make that, thank you. Does the seat flex at all when you sit on it? I would be a little worried about the gaps between nuts closing and pinching my tender parts. Did you consider welding large nuts to the bottom of the legs as feet? What do you put on the metal once it's all cleaned up to stop it rusting if you don't want to paint it? I like the clean steel look, but it rusts again if untreated. Sorry for so many questions - I'm a metalwork noob.
Seat doesn't flex one bit, but I understand your concern. Didn't figure any extra feet were needed as this gets used on concrete floor. Clear spray lacquer would be the right thing to put on it to keep the bare metal look.
Hey I'm currently doing this with the pedestal portion being a car strut. Question how much did it warp while welding as the thermal expansion was pushing my nuts apart and making it bow the other welded nuts were pushing up and getting uneven.
Exactly how I enjoy these DIY videos... silent and straight to the point. Excellent job on your editing too. Now, I'm just wondering if the size of the legs is just a wee bit small. I see in your video that you jumped on the foot rests so I know it's strong, the stability when you sat looked a bit wobbly. Either way, it looks really comfortable and an excellent addition to your shop!
Thanks for your opinions. I have been thinking about possibly adding voice to some videos in the future, but will probably also keep this silent, straight to the point concept. I think these are enough, but sturdier legs could easily be used if one likes some extra stability. The wobbling comes from the garage floor being slanted towards the floor drain. Four legs will rarely work on that kind of floor.
Good idea using an old rotor disk. Good idea using temporary battens to jig up for the legs. A tip with cleaning the rust off of the rod for the legs. Chuck it up in a drill, with a support at the far end, sort of like a lathe, then run the drill while sanding down the rod. Way easier than doing it afterwards.
I'm not in the habit of checking my backside that often, but so far haven't noticed that my ass would be threading into the nuts. Understand your concern though :D
it's been an occupational hazard for as long as i ever heard of and I'm 70. They used to bring butter milk around a few times a day at the shipyard. It takes away the feeling like you got the flu. - Guys worked there welding galvanized plate for years and years. Anybody using a respirator would have been laughed off the job. - How times change.
Depends on what problems you experienced. I am assuming your settings on the welder were suitable for the task. As the seat needs to be welded only from one side, warpage is a serious problem. Nothing a big hammer and correct application of force could not solve though. Other problems might be that the coating on the nuts are affecting the welds, making them porous and creating spatter. If this was the case, I would look into ways of removing galvanization before welding.
Thanks. They are zinc coated (yes, I'm aware that it is toxic to weld - thanks inevitable next commenter! ). I'll try soaking them in vinegar for a bit. I really was struggling to get and keep an arc, and when I did the welds were pretty gunky and on the surface. I'm betting you are correct. Thanks again. And nice work here.
I'm no professional welder, but that sounds a lot like my experience with some zinc coated steels. Also, make sure the nuts you are welding have a good connection to ground! Best way is to always weld the nut adjecent to the one you welded previously. The ones "floating freely" in the mass may have weak connection to ground.
Thanks. I used a variable speed angle grinder with a wire wheel brush. I suppose sand/soda blasting would produce similar or better results. With wire wheel the inside of the nuts are hard to clean.The shine will last longer if you put some spray lacquer on it. Otherwise it slowly rusts in a few months depending on climate.
Nice job. I like that you used a stick welder instead of a mig.
If you can drive a stick you can drive anything!
Way better than my my shop stool made from rusty old bolts.
I feel like I would be constantly sticking my fingers in them and getting my fingers stuck X_x
ViolentKisses87 do you have a habit of put your fingers in tiny holes?
Electrical forces Every chance I get.
thats soo hot 🙊
"Someone grab the lube I got my fingers in some nuts again."
ViolentKisses87 well I'm hard now 😞
Great to see people sharing there builds with mankind. Keep the videos coming very educational
Thanks for your support!
My stool also sometimes comes out rusty.
TheRealDeal you pokin the brown eye? 😂😂😂
This is NUTS!!
yes babe
Your nuts.
Greg Wallace Deez nuts!
Great welding and ambidextral skills.
Still looks shaky but cool concept
Very cool design.
Great work mate!!!
Thanks mate!
the DiResta is strong in this one...well done sir! very fun to watch
+Jesse Snowden Jimmys work is inspiring no doubt. Thanks and glad you like the video!
Awesome!
Awesome
Very nice! Useful up-cycling and great technique.
Best shop stool I have ever seen.
I went to the scrap yard today and picked up over 100 nuts from 1" to 2.5" diameter nuts. I been wanting to try this for years and finally got the materials. Cool project.
I love this so I made one for myself. Thanks for the idea 😆
Thats pretty cool, who the fuck disliked this?
Why are people making jokes about this very creative item? Well at least he's more creative than most of us...
the legs should be strong and welded carefully, otherwise when something broke, it would kill the person who sits on it.
I'm new to your videos, but I'm very impressed by your work and creativity.. great work! thumbs up and just subscribed. looking forward to more vids :)
Glad to hear that Jorge, and welcome to the channel! I will be uploading a new video soon.
*Que trabalho lindo. O bom de trabalhar o metal, a solda, é a infinitude de coisas fantásticas que podem ser criadas. Obrigado por compartilhar.*
Sun videot on vähän saman tyylisiä mitä Jimmy diresta tekee. Hyvää työtä!
Kiitos! Tarkoitus ei ole kopioida ketään. Joskus nopeutettu video vaan on niin paljon helpompi editoida, että monet kanavat (ja katsojat) ovat tykästyneet siihen.
You should make a seat cover with a screw in the bottom that screws into the chair
انا فكر انتا في موجود سالفة اثري انتا ماعندك ماعند انا جدتي
No nuts, no glory.
Great use of things
You sir did great
AWESOME! this is just fantastic!
i have two or three cans full of nuts if you don`t mind i would like my own! either way is ok man :) thanks and this opens so much possibilities for commenting! hahahaha well best keep it family oriented huh? :D
it looks like 8 or 10 mm round waay delicate, and nice! i would`ve gone for at least 16mm and it would have ended like an awful tank haha. in steel i trust! :)
take care
pete
are you using 6013? nice rod handling

and our eyes, those who look, must watch the flash of welding? ...
Very nice video and very witty idea... Enjoyed your video.... Awesome

the chair legs look a bit too thin, but if its welded carefully it should bear a while

You can still weld a cap for the summer, it will not be hot, it's blown
prank idea - screw a long bolt into the middle and trick some one into sitting on the stool
I love all the Diresta style videos where people SHUT THE HELL UP and just show us the good stuff.
Now you know where they are also, if you ever need one.
The thumbnail looked like bunch of rolls of duck tape
Went to a hardware store and asked for deez nutz, they could not help me
Great idea and creativity. But i would have to point out that welding on a wooden table augments the chances of fire..... safety first....
...from the title I was expecting Rusty had just duece'd on the shop floor 😂😂
Hey I'm currently doing this with the pedestal portion being a car strut. Question how much did it warp while welding as the thermal expansion was pushing my nuts apart and making it bow the other welded nuts were pushing up and getting uneven.
It did warp a bit, but nothing a big hammer couldn't solve. I straightened out the seat frequently while welding (while the welds were still hot).
At first I thought why not just use the brake disc for the seat, but the ends very much justify the effort - cool workshop stool
Love stick. Best type of welding ever created.
Great build. I will build a couple for myself. Thank you for the great video
Soaking galvanized products in Hydrochloric acid will remove the galvanization.
Nice, but I feel those legs won't hold much !
preety cool. what a way to use your nuts. i like how you stick welded it. dont see to much of stick welding anymore.
Nice shooting and production here!
very nice, but I think I'd use it as a side table.
epic ysh fucket so much welds dam
Pretty neat,,,,and It's nice to see a guy that actually knows how to weld on one for these
very good weldings and philosophy. good jod. how many kilos.....of nuts.?
Rough estimate about 1-1,5 kg of nuts.
Exactly how I enjoy these DIY videos... silent and straight to the point. Excellent job on your editing too.

Do you weld with normal stick?
What kind of rod were you using? Kind of looked like E7018?
E6013 for most of the welds, easier to restrike.
this is very very nice. well done
nah sitting on nuts isnt an idea im looking foward 2 lollll this is a lady seat haha!good work!
Good idea using an old rotor disk. Good idea using temporary battens to jig up for the legs.
A tip with cleaning the rust off of the rod for the legs. Chuck it up in a drill, with a support at the far end, sort of like a lathe, then run the drill while sanding down the rod. Way easier than doing it afterwards.
Thanks for the tip! I have actually used that method with the drill for some things, but somehow it didn't come to mind when making this project.
Don't you hate that when you forget about a labour saving technique during a job.:((
Beautifully Crafted! I enjoyed the entire process! Thanks for Sharing! Have A Super Week!.....Gus
I find it great, applause for the teacher please. you are a genious
I got some rusty ole nuts too, acuired them in mexico ...... ;)........... :(
Very nice project! Well executed and nice designed...
More nuts in this comment section then there are
in that shop stool .
P.S. Fine stool.
That looks like a spit ton of welding.
Careful!! You are gunna sit on your nuts!!!
6010 Electrode? or 6011?
Really cool result. Thanks for showing.
What I hear when I see this thumbnail..."GIMME YOUR NUTS IM MAKIN A CHAIR!!!"
+FinCrafted: When you're in the shower, do you notice a strange pattern on your backside? :-D
I'm not in the habit of checking my backside that often, but so far haven't noticed that my ass would be threading into the nuts. Understand your concern though :D
hahaha
Takes creativity and imagination to change one thing into another. Nice job.
wish I could arc weld like that I suck lol
what size rod for the nuts lol no seriously though what size were the rods used thanks
This was 2 mm 6013.
Smells like a Scandinavian Diresta....
i like at 4:05 the speed is sped up when he hammers 🔨 so it looks like his hand moves at 3 to 5 wacks a seconds haha
I would make it little bit dished, for more comfortable sitting :)
This is a fantastic idea! Well done!!
+Geoffrey Smith Thanks, glad you like it!
+FinnCrafted I'm not sure where you are, but in Britain we would say 'It's the nuts'!
Geoffrey Smith I'm in Finland, but i get your point!
Best shop stool I've seen yet! Bad ass!!👍🏽👍🏽👊🏽👊🏽
I loved the ASMR. :)
Love how you burn them rods down like a guy that pays for them himself. Nice thing about the stool, you can fart and it doesn't hang around as bad.
True! And one also gets to enjoy the added value of having hexagonal indentations in the ass after a long time sitting on the stool.
Sieht sehr gut aus. Aber würde mir persönlich etwas kalt zum sitzen sein. ⛄
Eher ein Hocker für Pflanzen.
I would use big open end wrenches for a back rest.
OMG you put "old nuts" in the title and i swear to god i got a viagra ad before the video. 😂😂😂😂

Do not weld zinc plated nuts, this is not healthy
he told you about the respirator and stuff for galvanized metals...
it's been an occupational hazard for as long as i ever heard of and I'm 70.
They used to bring butter milk around a few times a day at the shipyard. It takes away the feeling like you got the flu. - Guys worked there welding galvanized plate for years and years. Anybody using a respirator would have been laughed off the job. - How times change.
Mathew Molk I do work in a shipyard and wearing a respirator is a requirement
СТУЛ ПРИКОЛЬНЫЙ.....НО ОПАСНЫЙ
ЭТИ ПРУТЬЯ ................
Any tips for welding the nuts together? I recently tried this with my stick welder and some 6013, and I had lousy results.

Awesome little project, might give this one a go myself.
I'm tired just watching. Well done.
Good use of some old nuts. Like your creativity.
Awesome video! Very creative and well built stool!
Qué buen trabajo , excelente ! Saludos desde Costa Rica .
wow cyber funky!!! i love it. and i will make it. with little change. thank you so much for share your idea.
Great! Good luck on your build!
That's funny. I like it!
Really nice idea here!
Kanavan nimestä ja Teboilin öljypurkista rohkeasti päättelen että puuhaat Suomessa?
Moro! Kyllä, Etelä-Suomi.
No kappas. :) Samalla suunnalla siis. Mulla on oma paja Helsingissä.
Sweet! I love the way you use scrap and other stuff that's commonly laying around.
Sinple and great effects. What is the sanding that you used for getting the shine on those nuts? and would that shine last long?
Thanks. I used a variable speed angle grinder with a wire wheel brush. I suppose sand/soda blasting would produce similar or better results. With wire wheel the inside of the nuts are hard to clean.The shine will last longer if you put some spray lacquer on it. Otherwise it slowly rusts in a few months depending on climate.
Thanks, that helps.
Nice work , Mike
That's nuts!!! Well done, nice stool, this is a project I've yet to make on my channel.. thanks for sharing
You are welcome, thanks for commenting!
Very well done! I'm looking for a welding project to learn/practice on and would love to try this but am afraid I'll screw it up.
Just go for it. If something does go wrong, you will still learn from it.
Nuts! :D in a good way.
