If you're looking for another cool project, I'd like to recommend a "Dolchstreithammer" (not least because it will be funny to hear you try to pronounce it). It's a type of warhammer in the shape of a fist holding a spike or rondel dagger, where the narrow end of the spike forms the spike of the hammer and the broad end forms the face. It seems like most real examples were made by casting the fist in bronze around the iron spike, since the shape is fairly complex. It would be fun to have another casting project, but it would also be a tremendous challenge to see if you could forge the shape out of a single piece of steel.

@gdude2775 Год назад

That sounds awesome I'd definitely watch that.

@ezrakornfeld8436 Год назад

Yes

@khayyam741 Год назад

His casting equipment is in the US also he already made a fist hammer, if I remember correctly... sooo it would be nothing new. Just a combination of 2 things he already did

@sealdoggydog Год назад

That editing to the music was subtle but nonetheless top notch. I noticed your hard work. Bravo sir, bravo.

@gusser2121 Год назад

if you really want to use steel, you needed to press a form in it to minimize flex. If you ever look at large vehicle panels with no support, they typically have an "x" pressed into them for rigidity...

@aaronpreston47 Год назад

Yes, the divider definitely needs some bead rolling for strength. Good thing it’s just riveted so it’s removable.

@michaelrowell4432 Год назад

Alec, just a thought but have you considered adding “emergency” doors to the top? That way if you are in a side impact crash that means your door doesn’t open you can still release your dogs. Hopefully never needed but maybe worth the modification?

@sta.x Год назад

Good idea, probably unnecessary tho. New cars are insanly solid made, to ensure safety for the passenger. If the impact during an accident would be so hard that it deforms the whole car (side and floor panels) AND this massive crate made out of realy solid steel - there will probably be no dog left to safe.

@ezforsaken Год назад

I think he has tools handy to cut that open, doesn't look that difficult to get into

@MudOilnGears Год назад

Yeah, once we have dogs, in a crate, in a car, and still have to worry about an emergency door...

@ragnkja Год назад

In a crash that bad, emergency responders will have tools that can cut open the car itself. Those tools should work on the crate too.

@outdoorintheaussie9807 Год назад

I’m always making dog cages as part of my job cause I’m a welder and I found the best way to stop the rattle from the sheet steel is to put silicone around where the sheet touches the SHS and that will take out 90%-100% of the rattle

@mrfochs Год назад

I love this project as I just spent the last three months working on a rear seat delete and removable. folding floor surface for my old Mini Cooper so my dogs can go on car rides. Nice work and love any content that gets doggos on the screen.

@mistr_clean7557 Год назад

for the rattling youll need to either caulk the seams to dampen it, or crossbrake the metal such as you would see in air conditioning returns. id have done both personally, but if the wood works it works

@seeza Год назад

Any plans for Jamie to drop a powerhammer off a pallet jack? That's the main content I watch the channel for. Additionally, I also don't care about wood.

@rbhe357 Год назад

Try putting a thick rubber washer between the metal at each pop rivet. Should be enough to stop the contact and also deaden any sound.

@mattwilson1213 Год назад

fusion360 is awesome, I design fishing lures (crankbaits and jointed swimbaits etc) with it and 3d print them, way more satisfying and cheaper than buying new ones every time I lose one to a snag

@Dan_Kornfeld Год назад

Fun project! A basket top to the crates would be an excellent way to stow gear (etc). Will the door opening into the interior of the van be a problem, as the way must be left clear for the door to swing open, and the dog to get in (it looks like you're carrying a good amount of training gear and equipment.) Keep doing what you do!

Why weld more then needed? Remember folks always weld every seam you can see as you dont want any moisture to get into your workpiece. Welding all around ensures the longevity of your workpiece!

@DH-xw6jp Год назад

Would you do complete welds on every piece as it's built, or would you get it completely built with tack welds, and then go over it and weld all the visible seams all at once?

@sta.x Год назад

@@DH-xw6jp Tack weld everything. Once its done you can start welding everything together. This way you get way less warp into your build!

@jebowlin3879 Год назад

@AxR558 Год назад

Honestly spent too long wondering why you had doors on both sides until I realised the van has dual sliding doors! Never really considered that such a thing existed 🤣

@DasVERMiT Год назад

Same here! To be fair, in his initial plan he said the main priority cage would be in the very back and the one towards the front (by the sliding doors) would be removable. So of course we assumed this was the priority one he was working on (which would require doors facing out the back.). He either changed his mind about where he wanted the main cage or screwed up and made the wrong one first, lol.

@outoftheburrough Год назад

Yep I was confused too but you just catch a glimpse of the passenger side door being open when he opens the back doors near the beginning. (I also though that the dogs were going from a nice clear floor to having to lay over a frame piece when he started measuring up the doors on the side) I'm not sure most vans of that ilk have doors both sides so I hope he doesn't need to change it any time soon. Having to open both side doors to load the 2 dogs just seems a faff too. & As pointed out further down the comments if for any reason 1 side door is unable to be opened you can't access the dog on that side so an access hatch between the 2 sides would have been worth including.

@kalijamies Год назад

I have been making custom dog crates for cars as a hobby for over 10 years. From my experience, you made very good choices on your project. I've used similar materials that you chose to use on your crate which turned out very nice.

@chadr1331 Год назад

If you still wanted to use the wood or for future projects bead roll on the surface it will add rigidity which will negate some of that bounce and noise.

Год назад

I've been trying to model square tube frames with 360 and I believe it's a bit cumbersome. I need to model every tube model one by one (taking in account 45° cuts, it's a lot), and then duplicate, assemble, etc. It should be way easier with some sort of integrated module that would manage all this so that you just have to pick a model, set the size and orientation, and snap !

@stick004 Год назад

It’s going to be a dark, depressing day when you announce the end of this channel and invite us to watch you give orders to dogs.

If you cut the ends of each bar and 45° angles, instead of butting them up end to end, the corners would be much stronger.

Soo... I assume the van has doors on both sides, correct? otherwise the opposing door concept would've been kind of impractical. Tho I haven't seen many vans with 2 sliding doors. Great concept overall tho and love the attention to detail

my thoughts exactly! 🤔

@matthiashejlskov5008 Год назад

All the stellantis vans have double sliding doors as an option. Its fantastic to have.

@garthor Год назад

I think a lot of cars add divots and bends to flat panels to make them more rigid so they don't have that flexy wobble sound going down the road. If you look at the floor-pan of a car it will have a variety of individual bumps... I'm not sure what they are called, I'm sure they have a technical term though.

@B.o.B91 Год назад

The metal is always going to be louder than wood, but if you want to quieten the metal dividers down you should cross fold the metal first. Adds some rigidity to stop it flopping so much

Thanks for sharing, keep up the great work!

@Burnie1601 Год назад

@Apropoetic Год назад

I just had a thought. Not sure if Alec or anyone else has ever tried to make Damascus using concentric rings or tubes of steel, perhaps with powdered steel as filler or maybe tried taking 2 different types of sheet metal, welding them together and then rolling it so that it has a spiral side profile and making Damascus out of that.

0:50 I can see you are viewing in "Parallel Perspective, this mode is designed for straight on views from front, sides, top... as it aligns everything directly in lines so that you can have clean views... but when you rotate it to any other angle the further away parts, that should be smaller, become bigger. Notice how the furthest corner is actually bigger than the closest corner. To fix this problem change your camera view mode to "Perspective." This is standard 3D view like in video games.

@Nedwasbored Год назад

Can I make a safety suggestion? Have you considered putting an “escape hatch” in the internal divider? At the moment, if your van is involved in a side-on collision you might not be able to get the dog on the impacted side out of the vehicle if doors become inoperable for any reason. It wouldn’t have to be lockable, just able to be removed from either side. Maybe just cut an aperture that is secured by double-sided turnbuckles. An hours work could be the difference that means both dogs survive an accident.

Then you can choose what configutation to use depending on what else you might need to fit in the back of the van along with the dogs
