So here we are, fully obsessed with Rainfall Projects, binge watching this guy. I think I need a intervention. Simply the best channel on YT. I know, I own it. Lol
As my older brother is laying in the hospital more than likely dying at this very moment, I find myself feeling at least some comfort in getting to watch one of your truly calming and masterful videos about a welder closet. I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do sir. I truly do appreciate it.
Ryan Sides Hey I really appreciate this comment, man that means a lot. I hope you are doing alright and I’m honored you can find a little bit of solace in my dumb videos. Take care. Drake sends his best as well.
I have the same lock on my front door. No need to put the code in when locking it - just hit the lock button and twist it. The lock knows it’s position and only needs the code when unlocking. Great build and great channel!!!
The only thing better than this build is looking around the barn and remembering previous projects ( the barn doors, railing, welding table, lights, the van...etc) and then to top it off with a Drake cameo appearance. Love it!
Go Cougs! I worked at the computing center from 1977 through 2007 at WSU. The best job I had and they paid me to play with computers. And the best area to live in I have found. We live on a small farm just north of Pullman.
This was a cool project! I like when you mix wood and metal. Great work and love the videos. I have that same lock and you should not need to put the code in to lock. Just push the “schlage” button (should turn green), the turn the lock!
I'm not sure how long the old algorithm has been recommending you, for a good while. Stupidly I scrolled right past, one day I made the mistake of watching one of your videos, im hooked. You are one clever talented fella
I'm in awe! Great job! BTW, with those Schlage locks, you can just punch the top SCHLAGE button to engage the deadbolt. Don't have to punch in the code first every time. I had mine a couple years before I figured that out. It was probably spelled out right in that paper thingy that came with it (I think they're called "Instructions") but I didn't read'em. Keep up the amazing, inspirational work!
old jake is not running after the tennis ball like he used to. But still a very important part of the videos. lol. i love watching your projects. thank you.
Love the door, if the glue doesn't work you can always cut the heads off some bolts and weld them to the back of the sign. Then drill wholes through to the backing plate and just bolt them on.
You could put a Fixed deadbolt ( a pin-not a livebolt lock) in the hinge side of the door that fits into a hole in the frame. Look at photos of safe doors, they do just that to prevent the doors from being lifted off the frames when closed.
i always enjoy the extra effort you take. It shows throughout your projects. I had the pleasure to work with a few people like that. You never had to feel like anything was left undone.
Your videos are about the only ones I watch the sponsor ad placement in without ff'ing it because you are always making something while you talk about the sponsor, lol. Good job! ;) Oh and I have that same lock on my house and you don't have to put the code in to lock it, just press the top button and you can lock it. You only need the code to unlock it. ;)
Great job! You need hinge side security pins, so if the hinges are cut off the door can’t be opened from the hinge side. Just weld three hardened 1/2” dia.x 3/4” long rods at the top, center and bottom of the hinge edge of the door. Once welded put some lipstick on the end of each rod and close the door gently against the jamb leg as far as it will go. Open the door and drill three corresponding holes where the lipstick shows up on the jamb leg. This will protect like a vault door against a hinge side attack.
Hey I really loved this project. You are so talented, great execution and very enjoyable to watch. I really hope you read my concern, though, which is this: if you go around your house and look at every closet, you'll notice there is a doorknob on the inside, just in case! Yes you have built an awesome overbuilt welder cabinet, but if a child, or heck, even a grown man somehow accidently gets locked inside, they will probably die in there with no way to get out. I'd take the time to install the inside deadbolt thumbturn!
The wires are normally registered on a story-stick (a story-stick is just a stick where you mark upper and lower edge and the stick always rest on the flooring to give a consistent measurement.)
A tip for you if you haven't figured it out already. I have the same lock. To lock it, you don't have to put the code in, just push the big button at the top and then turn the knob. The code is just for unlocking it. The big button also lights up the buttons at night.
One of my favorite videos so far! The level of thought and effort that goes into each of your projects is inspiring. You're the reason I bought my welder and continue to explore building and making things. Thanks man.
I need one of these but just a rectangle frame with oregon ducks logo. This is an amazing display of many trades and i truly enjoyed every second of this video. Masterful job!!
You don't need to key in the code to activate the deadbolt, just push the top button and it will automatically extend, you only need to turn the knob if the deadbolt doesn't exactly fit into the slot without a little push or pull.
FYI, that handle on the back of your TIG welder is backwards, it's supposed to point inwards and create a spot for the bottle to strap to. Just take it out and flip it around, you'll thank me next bottle change.
I lock up all my welding equipment as well. But realistically.... 90% of the tools we have is meant to cut metal in some wway, shape,or form. To lock up everything that can, everyday, is not practical. Best thing to do is mitigate access to power to run those tools, and the ability to remove machines from the premisis. Sometimes just a bar only 15" above the ground and across a door way. Is enough to stop the removal of our welding machines. Due to the weight of them alone. Great video!
Wow, that turned out great! New sub here... I'm not sure if you care, but that lock has a vulnerability where one could drill a small (~⅛") hole on the right side bottom of the cover and then open the lock at will with no other sign of forced entry using a piece of stiff wire. If you take the outside cover off, I'm sure you'll see the problem and understand how I have been fixing it quickly and easily with a ~9/16" ball bearing and a little epoxy. 😉 Also, you can lock it up by just pushing the center "Schlage" button and turning the deadbolt... You don't have to enter the code every time (to lock it). 😎
Would really like to see you build a smokeless fire pit somewhere on the farm. Have been done before on RU-vid, but I think you would put some more thought into the design.
just FYI i would have welded at least one bolt on the back of each panel and through bolted it to the door. The constant expansion and contraction of the wood may eventually pop the inlayed pieces out. But then again, maybe not. Usually just drill your hole in the wood, dip the bolt in a little puddle of spray paint and push through the hole leaving a circle on the inlay where you need to weld it on. cut off the bolt head and weld. done :)
you know... when someone starts talking about sponsor spots, I usually skip through them, to get back to the content. No bad intent, just I'm watching so much RU-vid that I see them over and over (the advertisers). But since you do something different every time, and you actually build stuff, I hang out and watch those parts too. More creators should do this. Great job, keep it up!
love ther idea and the secure space for your welders. 1 thing though, do you have a ventilation vent in there. 2 gas botlles no ventilation, could be a danger.
J. If you want a couple of ideas on making that lock set more thief proof, get in touch with me and I can show you what I did to mine to mitigate it’s vulnerabilities.
Your videos are great the only thing you could possibly add is blacksmithing Forging hot iron and doing neat creative iron work But nonetheless all of what you do is great I am a vocational teacher welding fabricating sheet metal pipe fitting pipe welding I am going to share your video with my students Press on your great presenter
I had to think for a second when you said "two one-hundredths of an inch". Us engineers usually call that "twenty thou" short for twenty thousandths of an inch. Excellent content as always!
