@@DIYFabShop;)
Very helpful
Glad you think so!
Great job. Keep it up. I liked the bench bandsaw. We might need a shop tour and tools used. Like that saw,what welder,etc....
WHERE DID YOU GET THE CHAIR CYLENDER ?
I got from Amazon, link can be found here: www.diyfabshop.com/
I LOVE THE STOOL I THINK IT COULD USE A BACK
Good luck on the channel, I gave you a sub
Thanks!
Beautiful shop stool! I use a stool every day on a truck assembly line where moving around fast is key. I found that the base can't be too wide unless you are very tall. Reason being, as you try to move around your work project in a hurry you may hit the back of your legs and ankles on the base, or the back of the foot lifts up on base. It's very frustrating, but if your base is too small you can lose balance and fall off, usually backwards. For sitting mostly still with little movement the base is much less of an issue. For a hurry up environment a base tray for tools and hardware and parts is a must. Unfortunately we had to add tall castors to a small round base stool to be able to roll over the center track of the assembly line. Works well for quickness and unobstructed movement but balance is key. Your stool is very well made and dimensions look perfect for shop use. Very strong and the base seems not too big for leg obstruction. I would buy it!
Great looking shop! What company did you use to supply the SIPS?
Thanks! www.epsbuildings.com/
I’m subscribing…number 337. YAY
You do nice work, it came out great. So much nicer than looking at insulation. In my garage I have plywood walls as well I found priming with and oil base primer hid all the knots I found with water base the knots would show through. In my second repaint ( done years later) I sanded with 80 grit then I just did a skim coat of spackle and sanded with 100 grit it looks like dry wall now and I used about 1/2 the paint on the first paint job the new plywood drank the paint.
Thanks Pete, I thought about a skim coat of spackle but I convinced myself not to out of fear of cracking or adhesion problems. Really it was my way of talking myself out of the extra work, I'm impressed you had the patience and tenacity to do it. I bet it looks great!
@@DIYFabShop The garage is only 20x20 I think the key is to use a wide trowel, and I was just filling it the imperfections, I feel if I did two coats it would have made it look more like drywall or at least smooth wood, but the first paint job I think I rolled on maybe four coats of paint than it look right. We live and learn
When you cut the hole for the base, was that a standard hole saw or something special?
It was rated for metal, but other than that I believe I got it at Menards. And I kept the speed down and used lube
Looks nice, good job. I am looking for a stool design that uses an electric linear actuator to adjust the height. The hydraulic chair cylinders are good but I want a chair that you can raise the elevation without having to stand up. When using my soldering microscope on my electronics bench I need to raise up about 8" to get get to the proper height for the eye pieces.
I think the 1 1/2-inch stock should be 48 and not 36 inches.
I think your right, I updated the materials list on DIYFabShop.com. Thanks!
Dimensions?
thanks for watching - 42' by 64' with 16' walls at the eaves
how much thats the question... dammit man, i want one...
Let's just say its a number I can not bring myself to say out loud and I would never put it in writing 🙂
Once again great content :)
GREAT Job to start your channel. Funny, I’ve been staring @ my big box rolling stool for the past 2 months. Hesitant on spending $599 for the Viper Style. Then I see that I have every tool you used “Team Milwaukee” except the die grinder. So you just helped me rationalize buying a die grinder and building my own…lol. Also thanks for reminding me of OnShape 3D and FREE alternatives. Best of luck with your channel and you got yourself a. We subscriber. I can’t wait to see your channel evolve and what’s to come. Maybe videos of your 3D printer/process/projects as you create more marking jigs, etc. I would NEVER make my own Pentagon from metal…but now I’m going to try it. That in fact was the main reason why I had not built mine…you made that easy!
Good Luck on your build!
Plannning and looking forward….wish I had those skills. Great video!
Subscribing to this! Top class editing, sound, explanation! You will get a lot of friends on here! Congrats! 😎 Suggestion for a project; cabinets on casters, with lots of drawers for all those small bits and tools.
Thanks for the feedback. I like the project suggestion, shop organization stuff like that is definitely on the list!
Oh BTW , this is Shiz My handle keeps showing up as my old TH-cam name AirdamZX
Wow! nice building, Is this your new playhouse Ken? Awesome!
Great video! This is amazing!
Nice build. I like your fixture table clamps, did build or buy?
Thanks. The fixture table and clamps I got from Northern Tool
Is the lift installed yet? Asking for a friend
now we need see if work
Nice work! Quite an improvement
Either way if you buy the American-made one or you make the one you want yourself it's still American made when a do it yourself or that lives in America does it it's always going to still be American made you got an awesome Channel bud
Go Badgers!
@DIYFabShop Hi, can you list the tools you used in this video?
Trajan 125 Bandsaw, Millermatic 211 Mig Welder, Delta Drill Press (older model), Milwaukee 12V Cut-off tool 2522-20, Milwaukee M12 3/8 ratchet, 2557-20, Milwaukee M12 1/4 Right Angle Die Grinder
Maybe I missed it in the video. Where did you source the seat?
You can find a link to the seat on my website at www.diyfabshop.com. I got it from Amazon.
Great inaugural video Kent! Simple and thorough content and instructions delivered with ease and clarity. I have started an OnShape free account for a personal project since watching. Thanks & keep em coming!
OK, you asked for it, so here goes… this may be a ‘cultural’ or a ‘national’ thing, or just me, but the music was horribly intrusive. I do have severe hearing problems and need the volume up high for your speech, but hated having my head pummelled by that racket in between speech sessions. (Well, you asked for what I didn’t like!) That said, the film quality was great, the subject (shop stool) was perfect, the welding looked good and well executed - a good pattern to follow - so all in all, a really good video. I recently built a stool for my workshop and it uses wheels from a supermarket trolley, much like yours. However your design is much more stable than mine… so I’m thinking about a re-design! Thanks, I’ll follow along for a bit, though I’m more into motorcycles and steam locos😊. Thanks, Les in UK 🇬🇧
Subscribed, if the first video is any indication of how upcoming videos will be its a cool channel. Maybe add a sheet of metal underneath for small parts. Also, to help keep cost down, I either repurpose/recycle or go to a metal supply shop and the rems (the cut offs they have after cutting full pieces down for customers). I'd also like to see how to draw the computerized project plans, and shop tour.
Great work! Love the detailed documentation of your process!
Nice work! Great to see the process from ideation to creation. Keep up the great knowledge share out! Love it.
Thanks Matt!
I like the video but very few fabricators talk about how to make the blue prints/CAD drawings. Can you share that knowledge in your future build videos?
Great suggestion!
Handy!
Great video! Great content!
New subscriber!! Really great stool!!!
Thanks for the sub!
@@DIYFabShop Absolutely my friend. I am going to tell my. friends about your channe;l also. I will be starting a channel as soon as it is warm enough to get out in the barn to start building a 1928 Morgan Aero GN Special wit 4 wheels. I have been assembling a machine shop to support the build and then a garage that specializes in pre WWI race cars. I am also going ot build a Gingery style benchtop milling machine.
@@Biokemist-o3k that is an inspiring project list, bring on the warm weather!
@@DIYFabShop Absolutely!! Thank you my friend!!
So dope. Keep making these. Please!
Thanks!
I wish I could build stuff like this
6:02 - for those starting this at home without a 3D printer, there are local vendors on CraftCloud that will take the 9 STL models, print in PLA and ship to you in 5 days for <$60. As you'd expect from a professional, the models import perfectly without design defects. Great first project, looking forward to watching what's next!
Excellent video, great product!
4:13 - really 12;30pm - great idea & I will be over to discuss my BD present for the Den;? Never too “old” to learn!
Kent Kallsen is off and running! A great first video - clever design, clearly described and excellent instructions/reference materials. Hold tight - I'm certainly going to build one of these!
You are FAB Ulous!
Congratulations to starting your channel and well done first video. You always have been a natural mentor, thanks for sharing your knowledge with a larger audience. And bring that stool to Gingerman!
