@williamdolan5428 4 года назад

What are those orange corner magnets called?

@EngineerMikeF 4 года назад

Definitely cleaner welds. I'd call that stand overbuilt, it has to support the dead weight & twisting which can't be vastly greater than the hunk of casting of that press. For projects that require full strength in the weld I recommend V-groove profile welds which require a bit more prep but not much, & when dressed down there should be no worry on weld depth, as you fill the vee as you go.

@toms4123 4 года назад

I watch and enjoy your vids for a while now. Please, DO stop use an automatic translator to cover other languages: the translations are just ridiculous : there is not a sentence containing a false word (in french at last).. Further more, your spelling is very clear for a non english native language user like me ;-)

@TheDarkPreacher65 4 года назад

Pask: "I'm not the best welder..." Also Pask: Makes a damn fine weld bead that even This Old Tony would appreciate

@PaskMakes 4 года назад

They didn't all turn out so well though. The good thing using the new welder, when I welded a dodgy bead I understood why, either too much stick out, poor angle or wrong travel speed. The feedback was good whereas my old machine it just felt like so many things were going wrong and was hard to know whether it was me or the machine. :)

@alifetomake 4 года назад

Welder here! Your welds really improved, enough for what you do. If you want to get better at it, you can work on keeping the angle of the torch, and moving it with more regularity. Good job with the press, it's a great tool now!

@PaskMakes 4 года назад

Thanks very much! I did feel that the new welder gave me better feedback than my old one. When I made a mistake (like wrong torch angle) I realised exactly what I'd done wrong. My old welder had gone that unpredictable I wasn't sure what was going wrong when I made a poor weld :)

@bustednuckles2 4 года назад

I literally just gave away a stand almost identical to this one. It was for an old Radial Arm Saw that I had salvaged from the dump and bolted 1X12 boards to the top to use as a small work table. Interesting press, I have head of them but this is the first one I have seen. Very handy, especially that punch out die you made for it. Kudos.

@becool365 4 года назад

I mean this should probably be enough to keep things solid. But if you really wanted to make it really stiff I would recommend using triangle shapes. Even little extra wedges on the joint really stiffens up square brackets. Cross pieces are especially powerful. Another tip is to use the edge in the direction of the force the piece will be experiencing. So for instance an I beam is the shape it is because most of the force passes through the I.

The way you lifted the press and the stand was pretty smart, and relatively controlled and safe, considering. i know many a person who would have been stupid and just tried to lift it on their own and likely hurt themselves in the process, so good job!

@dzanealbright 4 года назад

Well done Neil! What an awesome tool. I could use that thing every week but when you started the video I had no idea what it would be used for. I've never seen a press that used circular motion to create downward force and from the look of it that would generate a LOT of force.

@gotchaO55 4 года назад

Great Video! I use ratchet straps a lot as helping hands. Works great when you're hanging 4x8 sheets of siding by yourself!

@steliosstavrinides3502 4 года назад

OK we now know what is a Fly Press. As for the stand, well that was a unique way of doing it, don't know if it's any stronger than the traditional way, but if it works, then it works... Grate job mate :) !!!

@theabandonedchanel 4 года назад

Great stand. I've found it useful to have a hole in the bench top inline with the screw. It helps get waste out of the machine, stops blockages and helps to free up any jamming. It surprising what you can use it for.

@durnik1573 4 года назад

Looks great, Neil. I’m sure that will come in handy. You may want to invest in a chain hoist as your metal shop continues to grow lol.

@bobbonham4823 4 года назад

I'm enjoying the metal shop build. I like the way you stood the press up. I remember doing things like that when I was a kid on the farm. Long enough lever and moving the world and all of that. Thanks for the video. Good luck with the rest of the shop.

The constant vibration loosens floor bolts etc. You can not overdo the build of your bench. You may find it advantageous to bolt it to the wall at a higher level too.

@FallenOutlander 4 года назад

Next video "Pask Makes a Crane", I can see it now. Just one quick note, to save those drill bits in your press, if you don't have a cutting fluid, spray them with water as your drilling. It doesn't help with cutting so much, but it keeps the bit cool and from dulling when it gets hot. Just some advice from an Industrial Engineer. Great videos tho, especially during these crazy times.
