Whenever I have to make one of these little brackets it sure has made me happy that I can fabricate. It doesn't always come out looking perfect, however it always works as intended.
Now this isn't something I would offer as a service to my customers, however I always love making up small parts like this for my own personal use.
It is always handy having access to all this equipment at work as well. It never hurts.

I was once told the $15 part I needed wasn’t in the budget. Two days later I finished making it only to have someone on another shift toss it in the scrap bin.

I know EXACTLY what you mean!

Love the honesty and "it's close enough" attitude to this bracket's finish.. It does give us DIYers hope that anything similar that we have to make, without the costly machinery, might just be good enough too.. I made four of these to hold metal poles to a wall, maybe not as heavy duty as these, but still thick enough to do the job, all came out, "close enough" to what was intended and are still doing the job 5 years on.. Whilst I love all your videos and delight in seeing heavy mechanicing, repairs and the production of parts, I would offer one piece of advice, Don't take up autobody spraying, it was so funny seeing the bracket sprayed like that.. :D

You made a conduit bracket. Plumber or electrician would have just used some steel strapping. Wrapped it around the pipe and sent a couple of screws through it into the wood.

@wlliammartinez1538 Год назад

I laughed when you kicked the bracket on its side to paint the bottom. I have done the same thing on other projects.😅😅

Small brackets, big brackets, all with large metalworking tools ! Pretty close to Heaven in my opinion! Good work-

@oby-1607 Год назад

200k worth of equipment but this wouldn't have happened without the good 'ol hammer.

You are a regular Rembrandt. Thanks for your time. Pete in South Carolina.

@tomrichter244 Год назад

Just like the tool and die shop in any large factory

@orangetruckman Год назад

Using a giant solid chunk of steel and then milling it down to make that bracket would be the only other way I can see you making an even more over the top video 😱

@simcoespring Год назад

hmmm could break a few end-mills as well to rack up the cost. lol.

@SpikerDragon95 Год назад

This is soo overkill and I freaking love it!

@simcoespring Год назад

oh yah. i love it too.

@mytoolz Год назад

I could do that kind of work for a living, springs make me happy

@tomoshea732 Год назад

That's why spring guys get all the a..

@peltona Год назад

With that big press, I'm sure with the right dies, you could make a lot more if you don't already. I saw the custom springs you can make. Nice to see skillz in action.

@simcoespring Год назад

the Ubolt bender has about 20 dies. I made about 40 more custom sized dies for it.

@jackdawg4579 Год назад

yep, far easier to just make them yourself, if you ever do have to buy one, I reckon a fencing supply place might be the place to start, looks like the sort of bracket used to mount farm gates to posts.

@quienvive675 Год назад

Oh, I think they're selling that bracket for $2.99 at Big Lots, aisle 5, next to the cookies. Can't miss it, it's in a red box with a bow on top.😉

@vernonland5987 Год назад

That's the best looking bracket I ever seed.

Pillow block bracket remove the bearing or a front sway bar mount

@georgeescaped6035 Год назад

@lazarohernandezsuarez2595 Год назад

Excelente trabajo

@paulbush7095 Год назад

That is the awesomeness bracket ever dude! And wonky adds a little character man-don’t beat yourself up. You should sell those with the lift kits.

@paulbush7095 Год назад

And I always enjoy watching that bad ass 100 ton press in action. I don’t care what it’s crushing

@simcoespring Год назад

one wonkey bracket with the purchase of each lift kit......lol

@paulbush7095 Год назад

@@simcoespring The man is a marketing genius as well. Is there anything you can’t do? Btw. I’m looking for a career change and your shop looks like a really cool place to work. But in the interest of full disclosure I must inform you that I have absolutely no mechanical ability whatsoever. I hope that’s not gonna be a deal breaker.

@fdarrenlendvay5004 Год назад

A $2 part that you can no longer purchase is worth a million bux... dont feel bad.

@moogie621 Год назад

Almost all projects are cheaper than the machinery used to make them I don't understand the point

@shook0002 Год назад

I thought u guys used the Metric system?

@simcoespring Год назад

its complicated hehe

@troy3052 Год назад

I don't have $200K of equipment. When I run into the same problem, my solution is to buy a steel u-clamp (pipe clamp) at the local hardware store. To make the short legs on the clamp fit your situation, I just add a wooden spacer between the clamp and the post. I've mounted several things that way and they all seem to work well.

Love your channel, so I don't want to rain on your parade, but .... Making a functional bracket, or hook is no big deal. It's probably the most fabricated thing in the world ...... and probably most of them look like something that was the result of a train wreck. So the challenge is to be able to make one that has inovative and intelegent design and looks like it was made by a skilled craftsman, .... or at least by a factory machine that was purpose built to fabricate it. Viewers of this kind of content always enjoy seeing a fabricator that thinks outside the box, with great ideas on how to do so. Thanks
