Nice build! Doubles as a theme park boat ride!
If it was me and i moved, that supporting post would definitely be going with me. With some planning, cutting, and/or additions it could be adapted
Love the build! You might think about putting a bolt all the way from side to side when you get your new bearings so they can't spread apart and fail. Probably not needed, but a little insurance.
Agreed
I agree that was my first thought as well.
@@todayletsbuild2153 Me too. I noticed it would also limit the winch from going to the last foot or 2 of the boom due to colliding with the brace, good or bad depending on how you look at it.
I had a friend build one for his shop many years ago. Instead of articulating just the boom, the entire crane swiveled. He used an axle spindle from a junk car at the bottom for a pivot and, if I remember correctly, the top pivot was large diameter bolt (3/4" maybe). It worked really well.
That's a great idea Fireball tool did something similar with the one he built in his buddy shop. Thanks for watching 😎🙏😎
I love it! The only thing I'd add is a safety loop ( Inverted "U" ) to back up any failure on those rollers or their axle bolts, since they're anchored only at one end of each roller.
Wakodahatchee Chris
100% agree one of the things that is on the list along with the damper thanks for watching 😎
Fantastic, I wanna build one for my dad, your throughout explanations resolve some doubts i've with the design. Keep UP the good work!
My hero 😍 I'm gonna have to build this for my shop now!
Im here because im getting ready to fab one up, something i wanted to do was telescoping like a cherry picker, kinda. You gave me some great idea's THANKS.
Nice crane, thanks for sharing 👍.
Great job! It warms my heart to see young men who can make stuff.
Thanks for the support 🙏👊😎
Nice job! This is actually a really good idea for pretty much any shop! You’ve got me thinking about doing this in my shop. Subscribed!
Thanks for the support 🙏👊😎
Good to see a well used shed..... nice one mate 👍
Working on my table saw welding table. Thanks. Good to see you enjoying yourself
That's awesome thanks for the support 🙏😊
Nice build. I need one by my lathes and mills. The old back does not like picking up heavy chucks anymore.
The attitude and the finger snap. 😅 Got my subscribe
Appreciate the support 👊🙏😎
Nice !! Great build
Cool build. Your shop has a lot of cool toys.
Thats a great build. I would recommend that you do Non destructive crack test every couple of years. Dye crack test kits or magnet crack test. As where i worked many years ago, one of the in house made Jib crane, that was years old, cracked at the welds and killed someone. But it was more like a sideways L design, with only small gussets for strength. Yours look very strong with the with the angled strengthener . After that, all jib cranes were crack tested annually, there was always the spray on dye covering all the welds constantly reminding us of the fatal accident. Its hard to know if it had been used over its capacity, as they didn't have load rating on them, or was it just fatigue cracks.
Very nice job.
I need to build some Jib Cranes in my shop.
I have been thinking about this for along time.
Have a great day.
Thanks for sharing.
Happy New Year.
Thank you for watching the sporting channel. Have a great New years
Nice! Love the use of dual shield.
Thanks for the support 🙏👊😎
Nice intelligent design and build. Always great to see someone that does the planning well before building and thinks equally about a safe design too. Looks like you've built a very nice and safe lift setup. Thumbs Up!
Thanks for the support 😎🙏👊
Good job, neat and workmanlike!
Like always I enjoyed and learned more good info and ideas keep up the great videos, thank you
Thanks for watching appreciate it 😎
Love the idea, good for the back, and love that little boat.
Thanks for the support.
Nice build. We shared this video on our homemade tools forum this week 😎
Thank you 🙏
Thank you for sharing. You did an excellent job of building the crane and also videoing. This is the best presentation I’ve seen in a long time. Enjoyed watching from beginning to end.
Thank you again for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😎👊 appreciate the
Great idea how you used the assembly to position the pillowblock pieces and parts. Good thinking.
Great Project!!! Very useful😁👍Thanks for the video🚜💨☀
Thanks 👍
I am just about to build a very similar crane for my workshop, so your video was perfectly timed!!. Overall I really like your design... well thought out and looks strong. The only possible weakness I can see (as noted by others) is the possibility that the vertical flat bars that the wheels are mounted to could spread apart.. they might be strong enough but if they did flex too far it wouldn't be good. Personally I would brace them or tie them together somehow.
Thanks for posting!
Looking nice!
Great design. Great video.
Thanks for the support 😎
Great build!
Thanks!
Far out welding jacket and glove got you looking very pro
Your welding jacket is badass
I just commented to Cole at Sonne Farms yesterday that he needed to think about building a crane system in their shop. Adam Camarata has a video on TH-cam showing his crane build and Paul Cox from Fab Rats also has a video. Adam’s is much more involved but he can cover his whole shop from front to back and side to side. Last I remember he was still using a manual chain hoist. Paul’s pivots at the floor by using a heavy duty truck hub. I can’t remember how far into the concrete it’s anchored but they pull motors with their electric hoist.
Those are both great channels thanks for watching
Really nice job!
Thank you sir 🙏
Nice build
Nice design and build.
Thanks 🙏👍
Awesome build
Thanks 🙏👊😎
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!
Neato...I snagged a piece of I-beam 3x12x24ft from a trailer house being demo'd. It fits perfect in my garage. I also painted my beam Lego-yellow. HFT has the beam dolly works great.
Yeah I mean probably would have been a better solution but couldn't find a piece that fit within the budget.
Nice little build. New sub. Looking forward to watching your previous videos 👍
Awesome thanks for the support 👊😎
This is awesome 👍
Damn wish i thought of this years ago!!! Awesome job man!!!
Great build 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching 😎
very cool build
Great build mate😊
Thanks 😁
Great video!
In the near future, doing a rebuild project on a Max 2- 6 wheeler.
There will be a lot of" handling the frame" type of work, going to need something to assist. You have some great ideas there. Thank you!
Thank you for watching
Nice build . I sure couldn't think of a better design ... In fact it nicer than I would have built . lol
Nice build!
Thanks
Love the build. I would now do a video on cleaning your workshop omg
Lol agreed 😂
Also love your TH-cam handle
Very cool man
Impressive build
There is a stopper to keep the cart from hitting on the inside.
But on the outside it is stopped by the triangle.
I think it is safer to weld a stopper before.
When there is a heavy load on the crane swinging outside it will give a lot of stress on the welds of the triangle when the cart is forced in-between.
Very nice build. You need a larger shop!! LOL!! Thank you for your videos.
I agree but I make do
@@amcustomfab Yes, you do very well in a small area. Keep up the great work.
Nice video!!!!!
I bought thay same winch from Harbor Freight more than 10 years ago the three comments I have about it are 1) it was cheap 2) it still works and 3) it was cheap.
Dude your workshop looks exactly like my brain. Some places are nice, neat and organized but other parts are an absolute mess. 😂
Sweet build 💪🏼
Lol I will take that as a compliment 😂
I actually like seeing a place that looks worked in. Shops on TH-cam are far to sterile and look more like a trailer queen's instead of a work space
Nice job
Thanks for the support 😎
nice work
Thanks
Well done
Thanks for watching 😎👊🙏
Amazing
Supper all that needs to be said love it
Thanks for the support 😎
Cool build! Thinking about doing one for my shop! 👌👍new subscriber!
Thanks for the support 😎👊
"Good thing I'm already married" haha! I enjoy your content.
Thanks for the support 🙏👊😎
Nice way to save your back! Inspirational for geezers like me. Now using a manual garage hoist, and that is messy to use.
Thanks for watching . Ya it has definitely been nice to have
I really liked your concept of the flange type barings vs using a regular plumb block baring which has as you say the potential to fail catastrophically. 👍🏻
Thanks for the support 😎
I've go the same style of bearings on mine 3+ years old with no issues its a little overbuilt for the 1000lb hoist I have on it.
Good fabrication skills.
Thank you sir 🙏 😎
Brilliant
Thanks.
if you needed the extra length to reach your stock or plasma table you could add an extension tube to the inside with hole for your end stop pin and a pulley to run through -- add a 2nd winch back at the post? or turn your wins so it spools fore and back???
awesome build, when you rinse off the vinegar you should use baking soda and water in a bucket to neutralize the vinegar so it doesnt get that surface rust right after it starts drying off.
Good idea thanks 🙏👍
nice job bro
Thanks. Appreciate the support 😎👊
you are a mini engineer...thanks 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
Thank you for watching 😎🙏👊
make a friction pad (spring loaded) to push against one of the swivel pins that go thru the mounted bearings
I LIKE IT, BUT THE BOLT ACROSS THE WHEELS IS A MUST, SAFETY FIRST!! GOOD JOB ! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR ENGINEERING LONG SUIT!
Agreed thanks for watching 😎
Great project! That CNC allowed you to really build some fine brackets and gussets. I have a PrimeWeld MIG285 as well, and it was good to see you use it on this project. What gas were you using 75/25? What wire? Your welds wet in very nicely.
Yes I was using 7525 with .045 dual shield flux core wire
nice job 15:45
Really great design and build. Those pillow blocks might be too good, a simple pivot built up from plate and a large bolt would probably solve the easy movement issue. Smooth like that is awesome though, so trade offs I guess. A damper that is not rotary will be long, expensive and complicated to implement, especially with the amount of swing that you have. I would love to see it if you find a solution though. Keep up the great work and videos!
Thanks for thanks for the support 😎 🙏👊 I might do another episode on whatever solutions I come up with
Can you add links to the parts you used in regards to where you got the bearing and sizes and shaft ect, this would help. thanks Great build.
For a brake to prevent the boom from swinging too easily look into a mountain bike brake disk and create a friction clamp like a brake caliper that can be adjusted with a couple bolts to give the drag you want.
That's a clever idea.
Can you give some more info on where to find the pillow block bearings? I have a few projects I would like to use these for but I have yet to find a good resource on them. Like where you bought them, why they are rated for etc.
amzn.to/44jiHnj
might want to put some thrust bearings under the others for the downward force.
hi there , nice build,, john
Thanks..
Cool vid! I've been wanting to build one myself. Question: Was there a particular reason why you choose flux-core over mig?
Not specifically I just wanted some more practice with dual shield and I figured this would be a good project to put the time in.
Nice good thinking ! Did or are you going to put a end stop on it so it won't come off ?
I did I apologize for not showing it ..
The final shot😂😂😂😂
Bravo.........if u use c channels back to back......then u can use a trolley...........cheers
Nice work looking to add something like this to my shop. My two cents you might want to clean off your lathe motor and get a cover on it to prolong it’s life. But you do you
You are not wrong about the lathe thanks for the reminder. Thanks for the support 😎🙏👊
Beautiful build plesae can you send plans and dimentions
I know your crane might not see 1000lbs, but the base plate might have benefited from being just a bit larger with some bracing. Over all a great build.
Definitely will not see a thousand pounds which is only rated for 400
Thanks for watching appreciate the support and the insight 😎
I have the same winch
Nice! Need to get me a hoist built
Do it... I can't believe how much I have used it already 😎
@@amcustomfab I'm happy with my mig 285 but a HTP pro pulse mts 220 (mouth full lol) just popped up in my area and it's got me thinking. Really only want it for pulse mig because it's puts less heat into parent metal. Have you had a chance to put your ha ds on one?
I have personally not the only HTP I have used is there Tig 220 and it is a very nice machine
I was surprised to see you hand fab the trolley parts when you were also using a CNC plasma cutter. I'd also have made the wheels... You have a lathe. Easy peasy to turn down some steel and slip bearings in to it. No matter what you use the steel will be stronger than the plastic on the chimport wheels. An easy brake would be a round disc welded to a collar and use a set screw to hold it on one of your posts. Then have a spring loaded detent that rides against the disc. Put a chain/cable on it so you can pull it down and lock it clear, but otherwise let it just rub against the wheel. Not elegant, but it will give you years of service with little hassle and it will be easy to replace or modify.
Are Pillar Block Bearings meant to take an axial load? I thought they were designed and engineered for radial loads? I would think something like a thrust bearing would be better suited.
I would've like to have seen how you placed the boom
Two people on ladder not the best but we got it done.
You really didn’t need barring blocks, just played together with a little grease will do the same thing, I can show you a shop outside of Rochester NY that had SEVERAL jib cranes that will lift 2000 lbs, you did a nice job, I’m sure you will enjoy yours for a long time to come.
Thanks for the support 😎

Thanks for the support
I don't recognize the CAD program you used. Nor did I find it mentioned elsewhere in this post. Could you tell me (us) its name please? Nice project AM Custom Fab! 👍👍😍
Fusion 360 is the CAD program I was using
Thanks for watching 😎
Cool build. quick question, why didn't you build rather an over head crane on rails through your shop It would have given more versatility and reach and just be as useful?
You are correct I would have definitely had more range. But it came down to two things for me one space the rail would have eaten into where my materials rack is. And to budget would have taken a lot more material that was not in the budget 😎 thanks for watching 👊
Hi Alex, I'm new to the channel so I'm sorry if you've answered this before, but I don't think I've ever seen someone dip a burr in paste wax before? Is that just for lubrication or is there another reason?
Yes you are correct . It does a couple things it lubricates the bit . Also keeps the bit from loading up with shavings and it has some cooling properties as well. So in the end it increases both cutting efficiency and the lifespan of the bit especially if you're grinding aluminum or stainless but helps with all materials . Unfortunately I just found out they discontinued paste wax so I'm currently testing other products. Thanks for watching appreciate the support
Saw blade wax is probably the same
Cool build but did you put a stop to keep the trolley from falling off . it could be as simple as a bolted on piece of angle iron at the very end on top
Yes I did 👍
@@amcustomfab cool good deal you're doing good stuff bud have a great day
Right back you I really do appreciate the concern and constructive criticism have a good one 😎
