Shop Space Update 6: Setting the Gorbel Jib Crane Column
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ก.ย. 2024
- For the week's updater Joe and I get the Gorbel jib crane column stood up and set on the mounting studs. After we adjusted it using the laser level to get it plumb. Next phase will be to grout the bottom before it can be torqued. We'll show the updates on the roughed in electrical as well.

Surprised we didn’t see that crane in the lathe for a clean up pass
Hahahahaaaa
Like watching an episode of "This Old House", where everything goes together smooth as can be.
Adam, you're third generation. I'm sure dad and granddad are/would be proud of your accomplishments. 🙏
It makes me proud to watch Adam with his wife doing this. We have 4 generations doing the same. All the best to Adam and Abby (Hope I spelled her name correctly)
I have been watching his machining and shop videos for probably 7-8 years now and he seems like such a genuine guy. I’m a huge fan of both of his channels as my wife and I also like to travel, so he is by far my favorite TH-camr.
Nice fit. You showed the template, then went outside to look at the crane. When I saw the *oversize* holes I *knew* it would fit. Knew it. Good job.
I've installed and overseen installation/removal of at least 50 Gorbel jib cranes in my many years of work in the manufacturing industry.
It's nice to see someone so excited about what I would consider mundane grunt work. Everything I've seen so far has been done the right way w/ a little extra care thrown in. Nothing wrong with that at all. Using a bolt through the pivot pin is the way we always do it. Good job on that.
When you go to hang the boom (arm) just balance it w/ your forks to set on the pivot pin and then shim to minimize drift (where the arm wants to swing and move on it's own.) If you don't get that right it will piss you off every time you use it.
Good luck but I think you got this!
I worked in a shop that has a drifter jib. Everyone hated using that one particular crane, but unfortunately it was one of the ones we used quite often. I asked our crane guy once if there was any way we could adjust it to keep it from going 180 degrees away from you, and he said no. So your telling me there’s a chance….! Lol
@@adambell2068 "...and he said no. "
That guy needs a tap on the head. If the crane was on a concrete floor there is no reason that couldn't be fixed. That guy was either lazy or incompetent.
You can absolutely balance a jib crane so it doesn't drift away from the work area.
The mast needs to be plumb and level and the jib (arm) needs to be adjusted and shimmed to prevent the drift. It may take 20-30 min to do that but it's 100% doable.
Now, if your working on a dirt floor or the side of a mountain, that's another story and a case for a different solution.
@@josephcitizen4195 nope it’s on a concrete slab along with about 10 other jibs. It’s the only one that won’t stay put. Good to know it could just need adjusted. Not sure who the new “crane guy” is, as the one I mentioned no longer works for us. Thanks!
IT is so exciting to see yours & Abbey's excitement over this project. I am most grateful that you choose to share this with us. Thank you!
Been watching for years, this new shop is already looking amazing. Do you think your pop ever imagined something like this?! Make sure your print off a nice photo standing outside and continue the tradition.
Man is it ever satisfying when your measurements work out to be spot on like that
Your Dad and Grand Dad are smiling, I can tell. Ya' dun good Adam!
I'm surprised Adam didn't find a way to slap an indicator on it and get it centered within, "..a couple tenths.." 😄😁 Great video!
Great comment! You are absolutely correct.
Abby doing a great job on the camera work. She's a keeper :)
A true man of precision I caught that when you wiped the magnet on the level before shooting for plumb that's why I'm confident this channel is bound to make it big time!
" I think that part on top is the mast" LOL no it is a Jib. Jib crane. Sorry I could not resist. So much to cover and organize. I can not wait to see your final master piece of a shop. Best wishes.
I have probably installed 100 jib hoists and never took the trouble you have taken. We never grouted a single one. We shimmed columns plumb, typically with only torpedo levels. We shimmed with sheet metal and torqued the anchors. I only recall maybe half a dozen that required adjustment to correct for column plumb error induced swing. I think that I would set the rail while the plumbed column is torqued to the jam nuts before grouting. Any dynamic tested error could be corrected before grouting prohibits correction. I do not think that you will have any issues. Your column plumbing care should be good enough. My experience says you shouldn't need to shim the cross rail (beam), but ensure the column plumb is correct before shimming the beam. Jib hoists are verisitile and intuitive to use. You will love yours.
Each one of those bolts is safely rated for 20K lbs or more.. I mean the crane heavy duty but that column will buckle like a beer can long before one of those nuts or bolt even breaks a sweat.
Talking about 1/16 top to bottom is good enough... I would hate to build anything with a machinist! Out of square!
Yes. I thought he should put the beam in frist before grouting.
Is the grouting for added structure or more to just fill the gap? If it’s structural is it some special concrete mix?
When you are just not quite sure how straight and level it has to be, the easiest way to get it close enough is to get it as close as possible. I have almost always found that it's atleast close enough.
You are correct. Behind every good man is a great woman. Looking good.
Needs a Abom sticker on it, be a neat spot to collect up some stickers and magnets.
Can hardly wait until it's finished.
Never seen a machine shop build from the ground up. Thanks for taking us along like this.
Abom is thinking ahead; this crane will make his life so much easier & save his back -- none of us are getting any younger. When he gets this new shop up & running he should be looking for an intelligent & eager apprentice because his skill level & knowledge needs to be passed on down.
That mast would look really slick red & white like a barber's pole. Jus' sayin'... GOOD job on the install!!
When you leave that shop, someone will inherit a real gem!
Gem? Do you mean the shinny ends of the studs at the floor after he takes the angle grinder to them?
Looking good, and that mast setup went smoothly.
Your assistant is doing a fine job.
Absolutely no complaints. Great camera action for sure as usual.
Self-leveling laser... greatest tool since the speed-square. Thanks for all the great videos and info!
Good progress report. Mine's stalled for Covid19-induced supply chain reasons so I appreciate yours vicariously.
Nice job on getting that column vertical.
A thing i use on some projects i'm doing the drafting for, is putting tapped holes in the base plate, so you can use bolts screwed in from the top (trough the base plate, if needed a small metal plate on the concrete to prevent those bolts from going in) to level everything. It's much easier to use a socket wrench from the top to make adjustments.
Hey Adam - it's great when a plan comes together like this with a little help from a friend!!
Like a glove, never doubted it for a second :-)
Abby is a wonderful addition to these videos. She's doing a great job
Right on Adam, I LOVE when a plan comes together and you're crossing off action items on that "To Do" list. I know you're happy about this. Congrats 👏 👏 👏
We all knew ahead of time that that bolt pattern was gonna be perfect! Great job and really starting to come together Adam. Good luck and safe travels sir!
When u have a significant other that supports you and is willing to help thats always awesome and never a reason to complain,,, Abby you do a great job from what I can see ,,,,I love you guys, your videos are always fun to watch the attention to detail in everything you guys show us is really neat and I have learned alot,,,, can't wait to see more from this huge shop
Well that went entirely too easy. That preparation paid off. Glad to see it went well and nothing got damaged and no one got hurt. Good job man.
so glad you made a video of this .....congrats on the crane, you are going to love it....
Nothing like the love of a man for his crane.
When Adam said that he took the measurements with a tape measure, I KNEW that everything was going to ALRIIIIIIGHT!!!! You are awesome, Adam!!!
I was confident it would fit right there as Adam knows how to measure right there. It is going to be an awesome shop right there.
No one is going to fire you. To be honest it´s almost welcome to miss a shot. Adam should learn. I,m just kidding. You both are great and lovely and do a more than ok job. Big hug from Spain.
I fully expected you to show calibrating the laser first....Adam, you are slipping! Great job, but now I need a jib crane!
This darn shop and especially that crane has become must watch TV for me. And it must be said: Abby’s camerawork is considerably more polished.
Great looking setup and great work by Abby!
looks great, Adam! I know both of you are excited about the shop AND your new property! WOOHOO!
Adam, your mate Joe is Avery accomplished young man and a bit of a mover and groover. He sure has a problem solving mentality. It was good to see this go in. Well done all concerned
Its looking wonderful! Abby is the best camera woman of all time love her!
Abby you're a gem! I always appreciate your video work, don't be hard on yourself 🙂
Nice to see a plan come together.
That space is screaming “Big Ass Fan”, maybe a 12 footer! That’ll move some air. Crane is awesome, beats a rope and pulley which I have.
Probably the most perfectly vertical one of these ever installed. It's fun when the contractor guy has time to let you make the most of your patience and get it all perfect
A testament of good prep. Not surprising out a good machinist. Congrats on the progress of a veery nice shop to be.
Dry Pack that Grout!!!! A hammer and a piece of 2 by fer... Nice job on the bolt pattern, wish i had one of those....
Dang! 499k! You're right there! C'mon y'all spread the word some more. Half million right around the corner
Having set a fair share of towers, job crance, and whatever else goes on set anchor bolts I can say that was done with an impressive lack of swearing.
Looking great 👍
Held my breath when that forklift got so close to the overhead girders.
Abby makes a great job filming. Glad you have her.
It looks an amazing unit already with top quality workmanship.
good job and good crane
Spectacular! Great job !!! Thanks for sharing !
Filming is more important to me than content. Abby's filming is good. She has gotten better and better. Oftentimes naturally in step with Adam and easy to watch. It would be hard to out film Adam but she's gaining.
Sure the congrats are for both of you.
Looks good. Remember there is no such thing as too much LED light. I would double up on the fixtures.
Same here.
Nicely done, it's actually alot of fun tweaking the nuts to level a post. One of my favorite parts of a sign install. It just has a feeling of satisfaction knowing the biggest part is up and all that's left is the topper (or sign cabinet in my case)
I didnt doubt ya! Great job buddy! And she does do a great job!
Yup she does a great job 👍👏
Woot woot one big step closer
Used to work in a shop that had a 90T overhead gantry crane. Made moving equipment around so much easier.
Great shop brother
You will love these cranes. I built two of them made of semi trailer axles bolted to the concrete block of the wall on the side of each door for the fuller/eaton transmission shop. They were very durable, had a Long reach and lift anything up and you could direct it right to your table from the back of a truch.
As a millwright generally when setting a machine to be grouted we roughed the concrete under the machine.
why? strictly compression load. I have grouted many
The way they did it tighten the nuts on the nuts the grout doesn't offer any benefits other than you can't sweep dirt under it. Yes the concrete should have been bushed. Could've used half the nuts to plumb then dry pack shims under and then back those nuts off underneath before grouting. Tighten the top nuts down then grout then after grout dries then slug the nuts tight to get proper stretch on the anchors to get proper compression.
@@forbesmathews89 He wont get any compression load on grout when the column can't stretch the anchors cause it is tightend against the nuts.
Looking good Adam and Abby, it’s coming together for you folks. See you when you get back home. Stay safe and keep having fun. Fred. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋
Great show. Looking forward to hopefully see the grout being placed beneath. And more.
1. Abby A+ on the camera work.
2. Adam I been watching all your previous videos and my money was on it being dead on. You nailed it!
It will be miraculous if the jib doesn't drift a little. I was told by a millwright foreman that a handful of sand in the bearings helped with drift.
Glad to see you got your electrician talked into installing enough electrical sockets. 🙂
When he first picked the stand up i was thinking just set it on the studs & thats what he said & less then a minute he had it on the studs ! Looks great !
im not sure if you want to hear this but...your looking GREAT! you have lost some real weight, maybe it just looks that way but i have been a subscriber foe about 3 years and there is a huge change keep it up
We have never doubted you ability to measure! Great job!
Everything you do is to perfection. That bolt pattern probably had a ton of play available in it for us normal folk to install, but you got it perfect for install. Amazing work and I can not wait to see this shop in action. You are an amazing machinest!!!
Im a little late on this video, Ive been adding some new equipment to my little home shop myself. Congrats on the new building and more room never hurts, actually it allows for more machines. Id love to make you a deal in this old Kalamazoo band saw that needs a new home. Its got history, It came out of the Ravenna Arsenal Ammunition Plant maintenance building. Its been updated with newer tires and painted. But its a piece of American history for sure.
Your assistant makes you smile, I think you better make sure that she sticks around.
Good job Adam! I'm glad about the progress!! That preparation made the installation so much easier! Thanks for the updates!
I always used a 2lb plumb Bob on a hung on a 4in magnet at the top and you can measure off the string near the bottom...super accurate that way can plumb something 20ft tall that way and is 100 every time
Looks great!
screws are going to love going under that when you drop them 😂
It's being grouted, I take it back 😂
Big ole smile on your face. Thats what quality prep gets ya. easy install later.
Your prep work really paid off...great job... :-)
As a crane guy… could have picked up up with the strap how it was wrapped around the jib most of the way up. That’s how we do it.
Looking awesome. I would make a suggestion that you hard shim the base before you grout you don't want to just rely on those nuts holding it level.
Can't wait to see that crane in action! Nice!
Having a camera person is priceless!
It’s definitely got a price lol
Abby, you do a great job! We love you!
lookin healthy adam nice stuff
The tape measure does not lie, Great to see it standing . Best wishes for a great Long haul trip this year, looking forward to videos.safe Travels.
Abby we aren't gonna complain. You do a great job.
Thats the main machine in place, and after the Big Haul Adam, it will be all ready to decorate with more machines...Awesome!!...Cheers, Blessings!....
Make sure you put in outlets in the mezzanine for your assistant to plug in things if she needs to!
Ur grandad and dad would be proud
That crane was made right down the road from my work, right at Gorbel!
Nicely set studs. Next time try first only with 3 nuts at 120, lowers the rest, the plane is defined by 3 points, as many more you have as hard is to do it. When is leveled with the first 3, then do the rest until touch.
