- Video number 2 in a series of videos that show the process of showing the build up of scenery from start to competition. This is an easy to fallow step by step how to video showing hot to build a guardrail roller tool and jig to produce realistic aluminum double rail guardrail modeled after the guardrail of Watkins Glenn. And to install our new guardrail on our layout
Boone!! Don’t know how to add characters so want you to know that I’m bowing to the man!!! Incredible
Thanks Dennis
Your attention to detail is to be admired Boone. Enjoyed the video, Cary
Thank you Cary
great tutorial, all in one guide for guard rails.
Thank you 😊
You knocked it out of the park B 👍🏼!
Thanks bud
Boone, you are seriously inspiring me to finish my track!
That’s awesome..... thank you
It's great to see your combination of skill, creativity and enthusiasm combine to create very realistic additions to your track! It looks great and you inspire us to consider more than just off the shelf components.
Thank you Russell, I try to show the different things that I build in a way that isn’t intimidating , so that the viewer says to themselves, “ hey , I think I can do this”
Very cool mate , great work .
Thank you Brian
I enjoyed this particular build episode , as I have spent 8 years as an installer of vehicle safety systems on the UK motorways IRL.
Your comment about the reason for 'lapping' the beams in the direction of traffic flow was very accurate, as if they are lapped the wrong way, they become deadly to any vehicle and those inside the vehicle, in fact they actually become more deadly than if they were not there at all.
As a note regarding how the fence becomes deformed when trying to follow the curves. In the real world, we would either use specially curved radius beams to suit, or would take a straighter line through the bend.
The idea being, that the fence is not intended to be a wall that the vehicle will impact against, as in reality, the fence is at its weakest if impacted at more than say 45 degrees.( Just some random info)
An excellent episode, in an excellent series!
Thank you very much, and thats some interesting info, thank you for sharing.
Wow you are a artiste !! Outstanding Job 👍👍🤩
Thank you
1st, thanks for the video and the new system update.
2nd thanks for accepting my request,
Lastly, I put in my request to join the group you have!
Bidbenum Loctite idea was a 🤬Flop 😭, I guess the ballons
that I was using wouldn't act right 🤯.
So, 😤 back to the Drawing board for Michelin man.
Yeah but, the new system you DON'T Have to worry about
getting cut by the Al-u-minium 😂🤣😂!
Thank you Django, keep trying with your ideas for Bid, R&D process can be trying sometimes, I’ll look for you on the Facebook group...
Boone, you never disappoint! I saw the first video on how to do guard rail and decided it wasn't for me. With this flashing material, you hit the nail right on the head! Thank you. Will check out the FB link. Well done!!
Thank you Art, after I made the first video on this I wasn’t really happy with the tool I came up with. It works well, but it is a challenge. This set up is very simple and easy to use once you play around with it some. It’s all the technique in doing it. Once that is figured out it’s pretty smooth sailing from there
Masterful! 😂 Great videos!
Thank you 😊
awesome stuff. i need like 4 2foot sections of this guard rail. can you make and ship? let me know thanks
Do you have Facebook or instagram? If so message me if you can and we can get you hooked up. My Instagram is Boone Haury , and my Facebook is Boone Haury , as well 😂…
Thank you very much, great idea
Thank you, and thank you for watching my channel
Looks nice maybe I should do a video of the metal mesh catch fencing I made for my track.
Thank you, that would be great, love to see it
Very nice looks great. When pushing in those small brads get a large finishing nail you'll notice the head has a small indentation a kind of a dimple. If you drive it partway into a small piece of wood you can easily use it to push those brads in no worries about using that screwdriver having it slip off and mar your paint job. Pink with flowers call it the Dippy Hippy 500
Thank you Chris, that is a cool idea, i will definitely check it out. I have quite a bit more of this type guardrail that I’m going to be using on the layout... thank you again
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage You're most welcome make the wooden piece fit into your palm and you will be able to push those connection brads in much easier I'd try putting in the ones on the bottom first that way is easier to see to get both holes set up nicely. And thank you for this tutorial I will use it in some form I'm sure. Think I'll do a jig that uses clamping force to make the metal pieces of a miniature quonsent hut.
Great job on your track. I would like to do a watkins style guard rail. What was the color you used
Thank you 😊, the color I used is called Aqua
Here is the start of my Watkins Glen style track. I found the Aqua paint it work great. I 3d printed the guard rail as well as the Dunlop bridge. th-cam.com/video/woro-cnddLU/w-d-xo.html. Thanks for the inspiration.
Very creative work!!!! Could you make the flashing long enough to staple to both ends of the jig to hold in place?
That would be a great idea. Yes I believe that would work. Might need to stabilize the center with some tape to keep it in place until the shape is established.
Yeah this is just brilliant. Do you think this technique could be replicated in HO?
Thank you Spencer …. Yes this can be done for HO . I actually have a video planned to show how to do this on my HO layout.
Boone's Slot Car Garage I was giving it some thought and I imagined heavy gauge aluminum foil burnished over swizzle sticks would be to scale but would it hold up
@@spencermiles9076 pretty close to what I came up with
Boone, I am still doing my total foam conversion, (going well) so I am waiting to try this down the road. I have seen both your videos re guardrails and I have some tool questions On the new roller, why only one set of washers? would two axles be easier to manage? Is there not enough pressure that way? have you tried making two rail boards? The second one having 3 dowels. How much clamping pressure would it take? some sort of hydraulic press could stamp out pieces easily? thoughts? guardrails look like a lot of work!
Thanks Ben... the first roller for the guardrail works pretty good, only issue is the way you have to push and pull the rail through the tool. It can be trying at times to keep straight and the rails when completed do not have the crisp bends as they do in the new tool. The original tool you can make longer runs of rail , which is nice. The new tool is easier to build and use. It does take a little more time to make the rail but the final product is better. The idea of having a press style has its drawbacks, first you are restricted to shorter runs of rail do to the struggle of keeping the material placed on the tool where you need it to be, it tends to move out of alignment once you apply pressure. Another issue is to achieve the same quality of rail. The press style does not have the crispness that the roller style has... the best way to produce these rails would be to purchase a actual bead roller complete with the needed dies . Unfortunately that can cost a few bucks. The most inexpensive one I know of is around $150.00 and the dies usually run around $80.00 .... not a real good cost effective way to go. Unless you have the need for one. So the roller is a good cost effective alternative. I thought about running a second axle on the roller, but I found the freedom of one axle seemed to work better. With the one axle I can tilt to the side and concentrate on the edge of the rail if needed. I did try the press idea , just not happy with the results. I even tried using solid brass rod.. so hope this answers some of your questions, but these are just a few ideas. I’m sure there are more ways to accomplish building these. And finally, yes it does take some time to build these. As you get used to using the tool and the build process you will get faster, but it still requires some time
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage thanks Boone, you rock!
Are you using 5/16 washers?
Yes they will work
Cool.God bless.
Thank you Bret
I could not find 2" nor 1" fender washers at Home Depot 😭 today
but, I did get my frame 1 step closer to getting the legs to raise it
off the floor 😭🙏🏽👏🏽!
maybe you could make a curved timber jig, for rolling out your railing for corner peices/sections...
I have looked at this and tried it out on some rough designs. The issue I came across was that it was difficult to keep everything in alignment to get everything straight. Not saying it can’t be done, but it is a challenge.
@@BoonesSlotCarGarage with your skills and eye for detail, I thought you would of tried this idea. Your craftsmanship is to be admired. Well done.
@@MrScooter68109 thanks bud… always trying to think outside the box on things .. lol… I found it easier to bend the corner then try to shape it.
What do you do with all the blood from raking your hand across the flashing ? Just kidding , it looks fantastic !
Thanks Jeffrey
aloooominum - otherwise great! 😉
Hahaha... thanks Keith
I moved to Australia 16 years ago and I still can’t say aluminium it will always be alooominum
