DIY Hairpin Table Legs 

Haha, got me chuckling pretty good on that one. Remember you can use that 7500 worth of tools for the next project too! Thanks for checking out the video!

Now THAT was funny as hell...and everybody else who laughed can relate! 'Flea market flip' makes it look so easy...

You don’t have pay for shipping

Yes, but your own work is priceless.

Lol 😆 I'm over hear considering if this is something I should be making or buying.. seems like at first it's most economical to just buy them.

Thanks, Henry. I love to make my own jigs. Almost as much as making the project I’m working on. Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much, thanks for checking out my video!

Thanks so much! I appreciate that! 🙏

Thanks!

Thanks! I appreciate that. And thanks for checking out the channel!

Thank you!

Thanks, John! I’m going to check out your channel, looks very interesting.

Ha! Not a bad idea. Part of the fun is making your own! Thanks a lot for watching!

@@LastLegWoodworks Oh 100% I'm just trying to make a desk and thought I'd search how to make these legs. If I had your set up I would definitely be making my own cos that looked fun as hell!

I know what you mean. I try to reach a balance between making it watchable and keeping it to a reasonable length. Thanks for watching!

Thanks! I’m going now to check out your channel. Thanks for watching!

Ha! Thanks!! And thanks for watching!

Hello, thanks! Hard to say what the minimum would be. I think it would depend on the length of the leg and the weight of the table it was holding. Mine were 14 gauge which is just barely under 1/8 inch. I probably wouldn’t have used anything thinner. If the legs were going to be very short then maybe I could have. Also welding the 1/2 inch rod to a very thin plate would have been more challenging for my limited welding skills. It helped to have an 1/8 inch of steel to weld on. . Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Ok thanks, something else, what is the size of the pads? ( The dimensions?!?)

@@alonro Sorry, I just saw this post. Here is a link to the diagram I made when I made the plates. Hope that helps. Thanks! www.dropbox.com/s/niv9c6qhigrpeqh/hairpin%20plate.jpg?dl=0

Thanks!

Thanks! I did that to remove the mill scale that is produced during the hot rolling process of making the steel rods. I later learned that cold rolled doesn't have this scale so its much easier to clean up. Thanks for watching!

5 degree angle. Unfortunately, I would have to charge too much for these as they took several hours. You can buy them online for pretty reasonable prices. These are easy for machines to make so they can be sold cheaply. Hand making them takes a lot more time. Thanks for watching!

Me pareció que las patas van ángulo rectos no le dio alguna inclinación

The angle iron is 2 inches, but it wouldn't need that that size, that's just what I had on hand. Yes, the other pat is a coupler that has a 1 inch outer diameter. Thanks for watching!

I suppose you could use a harpin leg, might depend on what the lounge chair is made of.

I think that is right. I believe it was a coupler for a 3/4 inch pipe. Thanks for checking it out!

I’m not sure about stain because they are steel, but they could definitely be painted. Thank for watching!

I patina mine with acid.

Hi, Matthew. I designed them myself in SketchUp. I’d be happy to send you the plan if you’d like it.

Last Leg Woodworks that would be great!

@@Matt_Barbee Here you go. I used 1/2 inch round rod and I took the height that I wanted the leg to be and doubled it and ten added I think about 8 inches for the curve at the bottom. This left it a little long so I could trim it even. I believe I made the angle 5 degrees. Also, ask for cold rolled round rod at the steel yard and it wont have any of the mill scale on it like my hot rolled did. I didn't learn this until afterwards. Chuck up the cold rolled rod in a drill and spin it while holding some sandpaper on it and it cleans up great. Good luck! have fun! www.dropbox.com/s/niv9c6qhigrpeqh/hairpin%20plate.jpg?dl=0

Hello, the vinegar soak was to remove the mill scale from the metal. It has to be removed for the powder coating to adhere. Thanks for watching!

Awesome! Thanks!

They were made for an outdoor table so I wanted to get them powder coated. I took them to a place nearby for that. Thanks a lot for checking out the video!

Yes! Ha!

I did, I thought I had mentioned the name of the place in the description but I’ll go back and add it if I hadn’t. It was a local place that did a great job. Thanks for watching!

I’m here!

Haha,, thanks for watching!

Haha. Arbortech, funny. Thanks for checking out the video!

Hello! I don’t understand your question.

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it!

I think Jesus would disagree. Nice irrelevant comment, though. :P

@@jameschiles245 right

You should have kept watching! I eventually kicked em off and finished up barefoot. Problem solved! 😀

Ha! You may be right. I Haven’t been in awhile. Thanks for checking it out!
