Doug great video this week. very helpful and nice job explaining everything. cant wait to see your next videos. to see what you make next. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend Doug. Keep designing. fab on. weld on. keep making. god bless.
Sweet.. JB weld.. a product I have used for many many years.. But never thought of using it for a handle.. Thanks my brother for a touch of new thought!
Great video Doug, your RR spike handle is something I made for my shop door long ago. Hope things are starting to cool down in AZ! Have a great weekend 👍
I have to say its the humidity that's getting us this year. I love the rain and we need it but that humidity is crazy. Hope you have a great weekend as well!
Just ran across you channel, great stuff! PC-7 another one for you non-welders, like JB Weldon steroids! Everyone out there should eventually have a welder, you'll use it all your life!
When gluing, if you abrade the surface with 40-60 grit, you will increase the bonding surface approximately 3 times. This will increase the holding power of the adhesive tremendously. With your handles, it may not be necessary as they are not likely to be under a heavy load but if you are on the edge, it can be a make or break addition to the assembly. Additionally, wetting the surface well is also important for the highest bond strength. Of course, I'm sure you'd just weld up the assembly rather than gluing if strength of the joint was questionable.
Some cool handle ideas there Doug 👍🏻
Thanks 👍 Carl
3 Nice ideas there Doug 🛠️👍😊
lovely and simple handles!
Thank you very much!
Good on you for making metal art more accessible to people without a welder.
Yeah I want to try and come up with other non welded projects, if you have any ideas, shoot them my direction
@@ArtfullyRogue oh gees, you're stretching my brain with that.
Three super cool metal handle ideas. Keep those coming!
Thanks so much you two, hope all is going well with you both

What do you use for the clear coat on your metal?

yeah welding it is my first choice, I figured I try and offer an alternative to people without a welder. good tip with abrading the surface for sure
Heeyy, Dave Moustaine really likes metal. kidding, nice content, thx.
The real question is : Why do ALL black fingernails have to be at the bottom? I wish I could get just one at the top where it just grows out.
Right! And I nailed that one between the car door and the dumpster outside off my shop
