Building a Mobile Drill Press Table, Beadrolling the Bed of the Comanche

This week I start by figuring out the windshield wipers on the Defender project I built on FourWheeler, and then move onto the Comanche to prep the bed for the relaunch of that build series. Finally to finish things off I bought a new Drill press for the shop, and I want it on wheels to make it easier to move around the shop.

This weeks QandA is all about suspension design and what anti squat numbers to look for when building an off road car, plus the dirty little secret that nobody wants to talk about when building off road link suspension. Also what Toyota trucks I have built and like, and is the Crawlarado the ultimate off road machine.

I've always enjoyed watching you do your builds since xtreme 4x4 keep up the assome work you definitely know how to keep people interested

Like x mas getting an hour long video!!! Sweetness thanks man you rock!

That metal work on the bed look awesome. So nice to see you take the time to make it look great as well as function.

@02f4irider Год назад

The link cover now doubles as a water/mud holder with the way it was bent! Lol love all your work and knowledge on everything! Keep up the great shows!

Great tips on air quality for plasma cut quality and consumable life 👍👍👍

I wondered the same thing about the break, and because nobody gave me a real answer, all I could think of is it breaks the plain that the sheet was on.

Great video Ian! That Defender-clone is badass and I'm really digging the Comanche as well.

I put my drill press on a cart too. Pretty handy to be able to move it where you actually need it.

@Aaronferguson31 Год назад

Idea for bed panels. Piano hinge with Dzus fasteners on opposite side. Like a truck tool box. Hinge it length wise with the bed.

@dubCanuck1 Год назад

Can you share the tip for creating your own thread chaser by cutting 2 slits in an existing bolt/nut? I feel like folks would appreciate that.

@brianhaw9398 Год назад

There is some great fabrication in this segment. Like usual. Defender, Gomanche , and drill press stand all very impressive.👍🇨🇦

@BigTireGarage Год назад

Thanks

@rhekman Год назад

I think it's called a 'brake' because the they're meant to hold the metal in place from moving while forming without dies or other fixtures. No dies or stamps, just the platen and shoes or fingers. Bonus points because they have handles or foot pedals to apply "brake pressure". Also the full name of the machines historically describe what operation they perform - press brake, bending brake, etc.

@BlueDually4x4 Год назад

Lots of cool stuff going on. I would caution keeping the aluminum panels bare in the Comanche. I drive a day cab Mack Granite with polished 1/4 fenders and cab guard, it looks good but when any of it catches the light right it lights up the inside of the cab and is distracting, even after three months.

@kellymeier579 Год назад

I really loved the music in this episode, especially the jazz sax. I don't know if it is, but hat sounds alot like Grace Kelley and Leo P. Awesome jazz that adds just the right touch to your video. This long form episode was great, thanks.

On the bed, I know you're having the spare in back, it would look cool with a jeep tailgate? Solid mounted for rigidity. A fake bead rolled? Was going to be viewer #2, but my wife skipped on by ya. Love your work and shows.

Dunno for sure maybe its a "Sheet Metal Brake" cause it breaks the "Sheet/Flat part" into a shape. 🤔 Just beer thoughts.

@highplainshooligan2019 Год назад

Kind of a 2 part question and Hopefully they make sense. Is there some kind of secret to a full weld on your tubing for cages with very minimal gap (between cage and body)? Do people just add gussets for added welding surface?

@chriscornelson934 Год назад

Big body mod after a chopped bed…maybe a chopped top to match or maybe a boat tail on that bobbed bed?

You could also use nitrogen for your laser to get more life out of your consumables. Dry, Easier and less upkeep. If you ever wanted to get away from the compressor.

@shanewright6958 Год назад

@thom17043 Год назад

Doing some research, the term “brake,” as used in modern sheet metal fabrication, comes from the Middle English verb breken, or brake, which meant to bend, change direction, or deflect. The verb “brake,” as used in sheet metal shops, comes from a Middle English verb that meant “to bend.” In modern use, a brake is a machine that bends. Also, I love the color of the Defender and am looking to do a similar color on one of my vehicles. Any chance you could share the color name or color code for it?

@CDeese39 Год назад

What about taking the cast base off of the drill press and using the 4 bolts to mount it to the stand?

@BigTireGarage Год назад

I ended up bolting it through the four holes in the base....worked great because I offset it slightly so I could put my drill bit indexes and my cordless drills on the stand as well....kind of like an all in one drilling station

@joelandcatienafziger1145 Год назад

Do you paint the back side of brackets, tabs, spring perches, sheet metal, etc to prevent rust before you weld it in place and can never get to it again? Also, thoughts on weld through primer?

@fbombfab1606 Год назад

Are you worried about mud and gunk getting in that center cection where the link come thru the bed? Should it be cut out more to not hold dirt?

@@madjeepernh6834 if its just a crawler, find the size tubing that fits tight inside or out side and cut and sleeve existing shafts to length, keep the u joints in phase and it will be super straight. You can take it to a driveshaft shop and have it balanced.

@BigTireGarage Год назад

DO NOT BUILD YOUR OWN DRIVESHAFTS....there is no reason to do this....the money you spend on the tubing and the D Shaft parts makes it not worth it. Plus getting them balanced and safe will be impossible. If you are were building a buggy or rock bouncer I would say yes....but not for a street rig
