    When grounding extruded aluminum, what about the anodized surface? Does the anodic coating need to be removed to make electrical contact similar to removing paint?

    • @HumbleRoad
      @HumbleRoad  4 ปีที่แล้ว +40

      It is my understanding that the torqued pressure of the connection points breaks through the thin anodized film coating. I have reached out to a few experts in marine electrical and others experienced with aluminum for confirmation. I will also do some tests and readings. Will clarify in an upcoming video when I have definitive answers.

    • @mikegurley4397

      A simple test with ohmmeter from cut end to grounding end would prove if it is conductive.

      @@HumbleRoad I know McMaster-Carr has the hammer nuts that are intentionally abrasive to break the coating: "Hammer fasteners drop in to the slot and turn into place when the screw is tightened. They're serrated to break the anodized coating on the rail, allowing static to dissipate." I think they have other hardware as well meant to break the coating for grounding.

    George, I have no plans to live in a van or to build out one. That being said, I love watching your channel because of your mastery with the thought process. I love the fact that you have to plan things so far in advance such as where you're going to screw in a wood panel. Attention to detail was always my strong suit and I really love seeing somebody make it look valuable. You rock. 😁☮

    If you use a zinc primer where you drill into the van to attach the 8020 you'll have protected steel and it still conducts current.
    In collision repair we use zinc primer every time we weld a lap joint and need conductivity but still needs to protect from rust between the two pieces of steel. It's good enough connectivity for the current of a welder so it'll handle the inverter current.

    As I am watching, questions are bubbling up in my mind like soda bubbles in a glass. And each time, you answer every question as if you read my mind. And the extra tips like the 'sloping track acting like a lock washer', and the grounding tips are a bonus. You are a mind reader, George. For us information fanatics who analyze every detail, you answer every question before it is even asked. Such a pleasure.
    FYI - 'Loctite' is a brand name for a lot of products. I think you mean 'Threadlock' type product that creates friction on the hardware so it prevents it from loosening during vibrations on the road.
    Walnut dark grained wood on the subtle silver gleam of aluminum - a thing of beauty, perfection!

  • @12vLife
    @12vLife หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Thank You.. This is great info. IMO, where this product offers an amazing opportunity to the non-pro DIY novice builder without the skills, tools or money to do quality wood finish work. Leave the extruded metal visible and avoid having to finish wood work on corners and edges for a more industrial look. I've seen a few DIY van lifers using cheaper 1/4 plywood, sliding it into the groves of black 8020 and then wrapping in faux wood paper and it looked pretty good for DIY.
    And with this approach, a wild thought, but as you stated with nothing in a van being level I think I would be temped to just anchor and web the structure into the van itself vs building individual pieces outside the van for a more free floating design using thicker stock that would require less structure and assembly. I love the idea of furniture in a van that is just a structural façade with the bare van behind and underneath it!

    Do you realized aside from my head exploding this morning. How many heads everywhere are gonna explode when everyone realizes how much space and weigh they are gonna save in their Builds, when they watch this video?
    I can’t tell you how many time I would me watching a video of a restoration of an old barn, factory, home, box truck. And would be so excited looking at that massive space. Then in an instant, everyone start building in frames made with 2x4’s. Then my heart would sink. And I’d say to myself.
    A dónde cojones se fue todo ese espacio?(Forgive me being Cuban this the way I’d say, WTF! where did all the space go?) And the excitement I had as I’d watch would drop big time 😢.
    8020 or other types of extruded aluminum is the missing link. From what I got or understood and learned.
    Aside from using Proper Good Quality Tools.
    You’ve answered for me. The day I either get myself any suitable vehicle to make into a tiny home or a camper. What are the possibilities and how to make every inch count. Thank you my friend. You have open my eyes to more possibilities. I hope everyone else saw that as well.
    Thank you for as you said in one video. Calling yourself spoiled. But actually meticulous. Looking outside the box and You do not do the same DoDo everyone else does. I hope aside from myself everyone sees this and thanks you. Thank you my friend. Keep up the great work.
    Ps. In the video you were cooking something and it stuck. Rule of thumb.
    Always, always always, if you’re not using nonstick cookware. Make sure your food is not directly out of the refrigerator because it’s too cold. Think what happens when a cold front hits a hot front. You get thunderstorms, lightning, etc. And other words it’s pure havoc that happens inpan . Let what ever your cooking come up to the ambient temperature somewhat.
    Preheat an oil your pan as necessary, then cook at suggested temperature. That will solve the sticking problem. And it will lower your food to cook evenly, and actually quicker and will taste even better. Trust me.
    I sold pots and pans for many years. Expensive pots and pans. And returns as a retail person was an ugly word. Like you teaching people to use the right tools and the proper instruments etc. I had to explain to customers, friends and relatives. Again have a great day my friend and I am so elated I discovered your channel .

    Such a detailed excellent explanation of utilizing 80-20 in a van build. I’m certain invaluable to many DIY’rs. It seems like the best way to go now, and I’ve seen other TH-cam channels using it in their builds. As we’ve learned from you “options, options” seem almost limitless. With every build success and mistake you’ve encountered while creating your masterpieces, it’s incredibly generous of you to share that info for other van builders to benefit from your experience, and avoid many lessons you learned along the way.

    Very good point about grounding the 8020.

But you’re right, having a ground makes it less likely for you to get a shock.

    George- if you mill an access slot somewhere along the aluminum length it will allow for post assembly of t nuts- this design feature is used on roof racks.

      Great idea. You could also drill a shallow hole wide enough for the t-nut to slip in, if you had to. Just make sure it's at a place that will be covered up.

    Nice stuff, I use it for my router jigs. Expensive here in Canada though, $30 a meter. Also the center is designed to use as an air line.

    You can preload spare nuts into the channel and lock them with grub screws just in case.
