Building A Modern Industrial TV Stand

- Metalworking and welding is something I am super passionate about. I find it to be extremely fulfilling, beautiful in how it looks, and its also much faster than traditional woodworking for furniture. So when my good buddy Ramy, asked me for some advice for his obnoxiously large TV he recently build, I knew I was going to be thinking something metal. He couldnt find anything online so I gave in and made him this one.

I like all content creators early vids its the most honest representation of how they r
Maybe it’s just me, yet. Making cool stuff is one thing. Making cool stuff for a friend is a greater achievement. You can see that in John’s face. Well done. Really enjoy your thinking thru the mess ups.
Thanks Allen! Glad you enjoyed it !! 💪🏻
The feeling of doing something for others and expecting nothing in return. Good feels right there.
Magnets totally affect the welding arc. Particularly noticeable with TIG but OK if you can get the magnet more than a few inches away. The welding arc is an electric current and and so is deflected by magnetic fields. Nice project by the way.
Ahhhh thanks Ben, makes a ton of sense
If you want to dig deeper it is called arc blow, run into this problem when working on ships and offshore equipment that use powerful magnets for compass and leveling. To combat this switch your machine to AC instead of DC to complete the circuit.
Electromagnetism
DC (Direct Current) is why the welds are being affected. AC isn’t affected by the magnet or magnetized material. Awesome build!
Dang! That is beautiful!!
Thanks brother !
I remember the first time my friends and I saw a mentor on our robotics team use one of those toothed metal chopsaw blades. We never heard of the technology before, and we hid behind a workbench thinking he was about to use a wood blade to cut aluminum. We were amazed, it is truly cool technology, not having to have a lot of sparks when cutting steel.
Yea its truly awesome!
The posing comment at the end was priceless. Very cool build and entertaining video.
Thank you!
John, as a certified welding inspector I can say 1000% that magnets 🧲 mess up a weld. It basically pulls the plasma to one side or the other, thats why degaussing magnetized pipe is such a big deal on pipelines where we want the boom stuff to stay where we want it.
Been bringing your whole library while I'm between projects, keep it up, get squirelly!!!🐿
This came together beautifully!! I love the paint color. Looks like it has a hint of blue
It’s actually matte black, but because it’s water based it looks blue before spraying haha
I never mix magnets and welding. Mostly because I don’t weld.
Nice project!
Awesome build John! I really like how you show the problem solving. - Jim
Yea no one is perfect, glad you enjoyed it!
Well John, you did a awsome job here! So cool!
Hi John. I really like your stand. I'm an welding Instructor with the Salt Lake Community college. The question was Does the magnets effect the welds? The answer is yes in the flow of the electricity for the arc. It gets distorted, but not to the point of the weld fusing to the base material or the joint your welding. you may see discontinuity of the weld face or undercut an an example. Now Electricity will flow to the point of least resistance, when you add a magnet in the joint closest to the weld point and the electricity get redirected slightly that's when it may effect the weld itself, but using magnets to tack the joint together the welds themselves are not effected because when the liquid metal solidifies, its doesn't hurt the grain structure because the magnets are just not that strong to effect it to much. I hope this helps understanding how welds work and to answer the question.
As a Sheet Metal Worker, I've always felt like I can't use my trade to any practical use around my home. Now I've found one, thanks for the inspiration :p
That looks absolutely insanely awesome!! Love it! Great way to incorporate metal into the home
Thank you, it did turn out well!
Awesome Build John! I like the Industrial Look!!! It just yells "Strong and Mighty"!!!
Thank you! We’re loving how it came
Out
I miss Pittsburgh. I so need to do a road trip. Great build as well.
Thanks Colleen, Pittsburgh rules!
Muito bom, parabéns.
Love the paint job on that sweet TV stand. When you get into a pickle, just gotta dill.
Hahahaha yes more pickle
looks so good man! love it!
That's a sweet build. Really suits the style of apartment. Awesome work As Per.
Thanks Gary !
Killer build! That thing is a monster.
Yea dude it’s huge !
wish I had someone like u to make such for me. awesome staff.
Will be my first project when I get setup.. Thx. Love it. Need something to keep me buys..new hobby. Thx.
Awesome project John! Love it!
Thank you! !!
John, just found your channel. Well done man, really nice projects and great video/editing. Thanks for the hard work!
Looks awesome......your buddy seemed genuinely thrilled nice job.
Yea him and his GF were pumped
Another great build. I’m sitting in the living room watching as my TV is sitting on an old dresser. The wife has been nagging me for over a year now to build a stand. Guess I ought to get to it.
Better get on that brother !
otimo trabalho
Awesome, build.
How do you not have a tv show yet man!?! By far the best camera work and background music when building. Plus the shit you build is A1 sauce!
Thank you! Maybe someday
Fine John, fine. You convinced me. I'll click that subscribe button finally. (Really it was the fact that I missed the last two videos without even realizing it).
YES! Taylor, it is a pleasure to have you as a subscriber!
Magnetic Arc blow. You should take one or two welding classes at a local college. They'll go over all that basic stuff. Especially since you have so many subscribers learning from you. Magnets make the arc wander.
Why do i need a welding class? I know how to weld, i just needed clarity on why that happened.
That came out great 👍👍👍👍
Thanks Brother!
Great welding job! Race Car approval! Great sense of humor!
Hahaha not even close to race car worthy, but thank you
cool...love your job
Thanks Ali!
Awesome work John! 😍👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks Fred!
Awesome!
God damn look at that bad ass Chain Saw
If you're talking about the one in the background, yes shes big haha
Great design!
Thank you my friend !
Good !
looks great
Thanks Theresa !
Ihr Amerikaner baut viel bessere DIY Möbel als wir Deutschen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Perfekt!!!!
Gruß aus Deutschland!!!
Great freaking job!!!
Thank you!
that tv stand must weight like a ton. awesome work.... simple and elegant.
Its not too bad, two of us lifted it easily
@@John_Malecki yeah but you both used to be elit atlethe's :D
Awesome build! I felt like it needed some low key adjustable feet but that's probably because none of my floors are perfectly level 👊🏼
Yes you're probably right, neither were these, but man do i hate the look of adjustable feet!
Very good job John! Nice stand! I like it
Thank you! glad you enjoyed it
Awesome build. I use that fraction calculator app as well.
Yea it helps my simple brain often haha
John I enjoyed the build and the video style was a bit different from your usually videos but I really enjoyed the change. As always awesome work man. That tv stand is a serious work of art.
Yea we're going to be doing a lot more of that, it just seems more fun and I know a lot of people cant make what im making, so lets make them entertained! Thanks Pat!
Nice Man!!
Thanks Dan glad you dig it !
Yep, surely true that magnets messup with the welding ! They deviate the flow ... horrible . Thus just tack it and get rid of the magnets !!! Ops.... editing, just forgot to say AWESOME built dude !!!
Thanks Ricardo, yea we try and tack and get the magnets removed ASAP
That’s sick man! 🤘
Thanks dude !
Great video, awesome build 👍👍👍
Thanks man!
Magnetic arc blow is caused by the magnetic fields in the joint becoming unbalanced. It is not as common with thinner material but it is still possible and magnets can cause issues but if your just fitting and tacking they work great.
What a cool gift for a bud, big guy. Especially one from Rutgers! 😜JK. I really liked this one. A lot of burning in this one. I like your mix of mediums. It's really showing your talents with both design and craftsmanship. You always create something worth watching and that'll keep people coming back. That and your flexibility. How does that pose go again? 😛Haaaaaa! Well done, 62. Troy
Thanks Troy, Appreciate the support my friend !
Great!
Thanks Walter !
Thank you for your great video!
Where you the water boy in the NFL? Boom, got em.
Nah. I was a practice dummy. Way move coveted
sweet. The magnets might mess with your welds, but they are also aligning your Chee... So, there's that...
Damn you and your science Greg!! Hahahah
Bad *ss built! Looks awesome and definitely makes me want to run to the shop and get some welds going!
Yea i feel we can all use some more welds !
Muito bonito John Malecki.
Good job buddy
Thanks NAder!
Brawo, Ładne :)
You are a profesional builder.
Thank you !
Damn! That’s exactly the kinda TV stand I’m currently looking for, but all the ones I find aren’t wide enough and I’d have to pay with my first born. Good job!
Niiiice!
Thanks Jordan!
Steelers hood 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
i thought it was wood in the opening segment, in the end you could see how it got that way but all metal might be poor on acoustics from the TV (depends on the TV speaker orientation, down firing could cause drumming on the metal, wood is more forgiving on that), looks great tho. Must have taken a long time to do all that welding. Wish i could weld :-( you are lucky to have this great array of tools and workshop facilities to use to create these great projects
Thanks Brett!
Nice build man
Thanks Anthony!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I got a similar industrial metal tv stand 70 inch that i purchased from wayfair from $800 was on sale typically these stands sells over $2000 grand
Yeah, if you get too close to the magnet and you will have to chase that arc all over the place. Heat is not good for magnets, a few quick tacks is about all you should do with magnet at weld joint (other side of joint) otherwise they will rapidly weaken.
Thanks Nate,
thats what i thought but it sometimes makes even a tack close to impossible haha
That could really be awesome to have your plan if you got some, awesome job btw
Sorry man no plan for this one
@@John_Malecki No prob gotta try to do one by myself, much support from France
Beer number four, definetly not doing any work in the shop tonight.
Early start this week hah
23 15/16 . . . SRSLY? 🙈🤯
Go METRIC FCOL! 😂
Freedom units. I like to suffer ....
This is really awesome, can someday publish the schematics? or can i buy them? i liked this whole video and the final product is beyond awesome, great work John
Glad you enjoyed it David, this was a one off piece so i most likely wont do plans
1. What paint did you use and what paint gun? it went on beautifully.
2. Love your podcast. I just started listening to podcasts the other day and are through a few of yours already. Very motivational and inspiring!
Thanks! Derek . gardners garage
Thanks Derek! Its a DTM Paint from Sherwin Williams (Direct to Metal) and the gun is a GRACO HVLP
Great video, I have my metal sitting in the shop (for months) for my console. This may give me the itch to punch it in the face and het it done.
Hells ya dude! CRUSH IT
butiful
Where do you get your angle grinder sparks from? They are so pretty....
What's the color code you use to paint the forniture? Amazing Job!!!!
Magnets are fucking up the welds, have the same issues. Nice work you're doing. Dig the industrial thing!
/Mikael
Thanks mikael!
And still wasn't paid enough for it 😂
Great build. But just saying, the metric system is much easier to use. You just need a regular calculator.
Freedom units only over here
@@John_Malecki seems a little more restrictive though 😉
That was very entertaining and educational to watch so thank you. I’d appreciate if you could share a little on your design/approach - it’s something I’d like to have a go at but haven’t really done so yet. I assume you use 1/8” x 2” for the angle and 1/16” for the plate. How do you deal with the mill scale - grind it off for just the weld points? Does it matter when using the DTM paint? The end result looks really great so well done. Cheers
ITs 1.5" angle at .125 thickness and 16g sheet. when using DTM paint you wanna follow what the can suggests, and when you're welding MIG you can just burn thru the mill scale mostly, I sanded the whole unit after i assembled it to get it to be nice and clean for paint too
holy giant tv
Nice. A wooden top would have enhanced the look .
JOHN....GREAT BUILD, I LOVE IT.....I DID NOT CATCH THE SHEET METAL GUAGE, WHAT DID YOU USE 16, 18, 20?
it is 16g I believe
Is youtube still uploading the higher quality? I can only see 360p. Other than that, great project!
They are haha, so slow sometimes. come back and check it out in an hour!
Great video. I exclusively work with wood but love your metal stuff too because there’s always a few good problem solving tidbits!
PS what is that CALCULATOR??? I need that!
Agreed!
Also need to know what calculator that is
Fraction Calculator Plus #1 - App Store.
Thans Sean, and a calculator is this ancient technology, it helps do the maths'
Fraction calc in the app store!
Nice work John! Just found your channel! Subbed now🤙🏼 one thing I noticed is the amount of what I think is smoke or could be dust/debris blown around when your using your plasma if that’s smoke that’s not normal so I’m thinking that’s dust? I don’t know whatever great content
Another fine job John, by the way what kind of hamster was that in the beginning of the video?😂
Hahah thanks Dan, thats my buddies little guy.
Really the only time the magnet REALLY effects a weld is when there's a potential for super high pressure leaks or stand alone structural welding. Other than that, the welding effects the magnet more than the magnets effect the welding
What would you say is the benefit to having a horizontal bandsaw if you have a slugger? I have a slugger and cannot think of one.
Batch cutting and longer pieces . If you watch my video on building my station, I use it to batch cut all the pieces. Makes it super fast
Hey John I’m in a ROP welding class at my high school and I was wondering if you have any blueprints or plans for this build. If you did I would love and try to see if I can build it myself. If not sorry for bothering and have a good day.
muy lindo el trabajo que tipo de pintura utiliza saludo desde peru
How long have you been doing this? How many hours?
At 7:15 look like you could use FR pants. I know you are a professional but Makes me nervous seeing someone pointing the business end of a plasma cutter at their at their feet
I think it was more the angle of the camera, it shoots straight down. The sparks on my boots are from the angle grinder, those are harmless ! I appreciate the concern tho!
What kind calculator u used ? I need to download in my phone
Its a fraction calculator app , just look it up in t he apple store
Details on the music starting at 3:35? It's like a royalty free queens of the stone age.
Electricity and magnetism as forces can be unified into electromagnetic radiation, they are like twins. Together they make light and microwaves and infra red lamps etc. Yep I guess the magnet deflects the stream of plasma that you are making and so the heat goes somewhere else. You could get some of those "no-magnet" magnets that don't interact with electric currents but they unfortunately only exist in a different type of universe.
