  • I've wanted to do this since before I could even drive. This week I built a headache rack for my Ford Ranger, solid as a rock and actually pretty simple to make. Made of square tubing, expanded steel, washers, and rivets.

    You NEED to tack the metal before welding. Im very surprised it stayed somewhat in place

    Welding student here.
    -don't weave
    -hold the contact tip closer, your stickout is too much/too inconsistent
    -increase your voltage a little
    -maybe think about self shielded flux core wire if your machine is capable. it's great, you run it very hot and you need no shielding gas, penetration is also very good (lol)
    im not perfect and i don't mean to criticize, but just run straight stringers, a little hotter, and hold that gun closer and be consistent. Then again, i've only ever welded in a booth, i might be total garbage outside in the cold and wind :P

    This video really alleviated a lot of the concerns I had about how complicated a rack like this would be to make, and also I'm really glad you explained why it's important for a rack like this to be airtight (which makes me sad knowing the last rack I had and put so much work into was definitely NOT air tight...).

  • @MrTuts4minecraft
    @MrTuts4minecraft 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey ZNA, a surefire way to improve your welds is to try actually holding the torch near the thing you are trying to weld. Most people tend to have less than a yard of welding wire between the head and the piece of work, but some people have less than 6 in! I prefer around 1/2 in. of exposed wire.

  • @Catrik
    @Catrik 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    About the rusting. A closed, air tight space will rust faster than open area. Water will condensade inside and it will have no place to go, so there will always be moisture inside. Foam isn't good because it will still leave small air pockets in there. Professional approach would be to have holes on undersides to let any water out and then spray the insides with rust proofing wax, for example Dinitrol ML. You can get them in spray bottles with as long straw as you will need. But you are not going to have any problems in many many many years because you used thick enough metal, so just go with what you have now :) It looks badass!

    if you bevel the end of the two pieces it will make them super strong, and if enough stress is applied area it should break around the weld. keep up the great work!

    @ProfitPioneersRETV 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I don't know if someone already said this but the bevel on the steel allows for deeper penetration of thr metal giving you a stronger weld. there are actually diffrent types of bevels depending on what position/material/and type of welding your doing.

    For paint: Bedliner!!
    Also, If you ever need it. You could either weld a piece of pipe to the end, Or cut a hole in the steel and welt it into there (It might be stronger that way) and make a simple frame that's removable (bolted) to use as a ladder rack. I did a similar thing (Out of wood though).

  • @DivineAndDemonic
    @DivineAndDemonic 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    If you use a big flame that produces a lot of soot over the area you are welding and cleaning it off for the weld, it will help keep spatter away from around your weld. Just remember to clean the soot from the place you want to weld before you weld. haha my wording sucks. its 10am and i've yet to sleep... kinda brain dead.. also i've not eaten anything in like 20 hours haha. About to go eat right now. Nice video btw. :3
