- Diy Scissor Lift Table made from Obtanium
I decided to make a Lift Table so I wouldn't have to drag my machines up a ramp and onto my Mom's old Picnic Table.
Some of my machines are to heavy to lift or drag myself and others don't want to roll.
I have a lot of scrap metal laying around so lets see what I can make
Stay tuned. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต

"OBTANIUM" - Genius. I have never heard that before. That has now entered my vocabulary.
Thanks,,, its a Kewl word for those of us that enjoy collection "precious disposable items"!
@@TheNovaJohn just make sure it’s stronger than Chinesium.
!!! Wow Arch thanks Man For sharin ya used what ya had Like most of us great goin Keep it up needed one like this do lots of garden tractors Quads and Lawn Mowers Hopefully still goin Ya Got this Been Lookin for awhile Glad I Found Ya From Canada SK Were it gets Minus 45 down here so keep up the Great work Bring on more Projects for Us to Use OK
Thanks,,,been working on some snowblowers and tractors lately!!
I need to get back to other projects again like this,,
This was one of my 1st videos! Makin stuff is easy, shooting vids is hard!
That’s one of the better DIY tables I have seen on TH-cam. Bed framing is good stuff.
Thanks Nine,,,,,
Yes, bed frame has its use and NOW that everything is sooo expensive, it may be even more useful!
Its disadvantage is its too hard, hard to drill and tap out.
Ya have to heat the area ya wanna work if ya need to do these things.
It is good for a run where ya just need a welded support.
Thanks again for watching!
My kind of build. Using what is on hand. My channels' theme is repair reuse, repurpose, recycle.
Have to admit I had to look up Obtanium LOL
Bed frame is about the only metal I can "pick up" in my area and it is a problem when you have to drill through it not so easy to weld either. But I use what I can.
Nice build. 👍 # 261
Stay safe, Joe Z
You can heat cherry red any area to drill and weld....(annealing).I think it has more nickel so burning it down, adding a bit of carbon, (throw a little oil on it) then letting it air cool helps a lot.
@@TheNovaJohn Thanks for this tip. I will give it a try on the next bed frame project.
I need a lift table for my golf cart work. And I need to learn to weld. All I need now is an Obtanium truck! I'm inspired! Thanks.
Great,,,,glad to hear it!! Start your journey!
Thanks for watching
Presently I'm making one and believe me, its a bit frustrating with getting it right. TH-camrs made it look so easy. But thanks for the pep talk and inspiration. I'm going at it in the morning with renewed enthusiasm.
Glad to hear,,,I can be accused of a poor job, or even a good one! One of the best if not the best compliments I can get is yours!
I'm trying to learn how to do a "How To" and that's ones thing but even more important I feel is inspiration!
Ryan, I can say with humility, recently my daughter almost died, while I fought off death twice at the same time, with a previously crippled body, loss of employment and divorce all at the same time!
The only real solution was inspiration, help from the Lord above, not just skill and certainly NOT luck for at that time it was all bad lol !
Enjoy and thanks for watching!
@@TheNovaJohn Hi and thanks for the response. I'm still working on the Scissors lift. Its like everyday, a modification has to be made but I'm still going. Believe me, life has so many ups and downs, the trials and tribulations. At times I ask the lord, why so many problems in everything in life. I've had years of problems in every way but I'm still trying and hoping one day, it will be all gone( not death) and I'll enjoy the fruits of my hard work. Stay strong buddy.
@@ryanhosein7640 Thanx Ryan,,,keep the faith,,,,I'm here cuz the Lord says soo,,the docs cant figure it out!!
Just keep at it....
Cool vid. I need to make or buy one very soon. I have a 6.2 diesel block on my Bridgeport Mill. I had a friend help me lift it up. Once I am done with it on the mill i need to get it back off. I like working alone and dont like bugging people for help so I need to get one of these. Thanks.
Thanks for watching,,,,I since bought a nice air lift, hydraulic is better if you need more lift power. I still use the one I made, adjustability is versatility.
Check out my Lift Review Video if want. I've had it for a year now, gonna make a 1 year review video soon!

Hey Arch, great job! and thank you posting. Good luck in your endeavors.
Thanks Matthew and thanks for watching!
This is great. Was trying to come up with a table like this. Then I found a high lift pallet jack. That become my lift table. I had picked up a body shop power pull, to use as a lift mechanism. I do love the the old screw jack as a lift.
Great, that's the idea, use what ya have and make it work!
Thanks for watching!
Hell yeah Arch! I absolutely agree. Get out there and Do something. Even if it's wrong the first time. I learn just as much or more from my F$#@iiups as I do from my successes..
Yup!!
Mistakes are just the cost of success!
Thanks for watchin!!
Inspired
L&S'd
Good to hear!! It was fun doing this one!
This is a badass project. I am currently thinking about making one of my own and this is a great idea generator. Thanks!
Thanks,,,I'm glad to offer inspiration!~!
okay that's some ingenious stuff. And it's inspirin. I love it that you didn't try to use a set of plans. Ya take a idea, ya think about it, ya look at other models, then ya go ta work.
Thanks, Like I said, its not an instructional video, its inspirational!
I'm making a set of forks for the front of my tractor out of scrap pipe!
Hey Unlce Arch! Want some free equipment? I have to purge!
I wouldn’t expect anything less from an Grumman’s Employee! Fantastic Video!
lol,,,sure
Wow! Arch, this is really nice. Great video. This obviously is not your first time with metal working. again, very nice !
Thanks!!!! Glad you liked it
Great job
Thanx 4 watchin
i love your channel. keep up the great content
Thank you,,,,welcome to the channel!!
Very cool! Just found your channel, and I'm actually in the process of building my own screw-type scissor lift table for ATVs. Cool channel, and good luck form a fellow NY'r!
Thanks,,,,Big Shout Out,,,N.Y,,,,,,
I really like my lift,,,
One word of caution,,, I would increase the angularity if you want to lift more weight!
Mine wont lift things that are too heavy until it gets around a foot of the ground!
If the weight is centered it helps as well.
Once its around that height, I cant tell, it feels the same no matter what the weight.
Naturally if you do a clean sheet design you can address issues, mine was free scrap..
I wanted to talk more about this in the video but it would be too long,,,,
Kewl,,,let me know how ya make out!
Just about to pull the trigger on a full size ATV lift..
I luv the one I made, I cant lift very heavy machines however.
With 2 lifts I can handle multiple jobs now.
Love the new intro
I love the "obtanium" reference! I was curious about that in the title and was curious "obtanium" that meant.
I laughed at myself when I figured out what it meant.
I also mine for that rare earth metal "obtanium" all the time. I love to use "obtanium" when I make things.
I don't know if you came up with that word or not, but I'm going to steal it and start using it all the time!
LOL,, some of my best ideas come from other people!! & that I made up!
Absolutely use the word and I can tell you know exactly what it means!!
Thanks for watching!

Nice job
Thanks!!
Nice job Arch,
I noticed the base disappeared in the end. I was saying to myself early on that it wouldn't be needed for stability unless the lift of the table turned out too high. I think you settled on a nice range.
One suggestion find a old VSR drill and a couple of pulleys to upgrade from the crank to electric lift.
Yepper,,,,gonna weld a nut on for my 1/2 Milwaky drill I modded to turn over engines....I was also thinkin about the 120v snowblower starters,,, I bet ya dont remember,,,,they have those nice red pushbuttons and ya just plug in an extension cord...
Design on the fly,,when I 1st started it, I was thinking on using a hydo cylinder but changed when I simplified the design. I mentioned I would likely remove it but that footage wound up on the cutting room floor lol
dontcha wish we made one years ago????/
@@TheNovaJohn I didn't need one years ago......
@@arthurpanico1275 I like the adjustability,,,
I need to buy a ATV/Tractor Lift next,,, just hurt my back again,, lifting the mower decks on 42inch cut tractors, not to mention bending as I work on these tractors.
3 days in bed in pain, cant move,,, lost time and $$$
Yea,, I Need these now!!
I'm still strong enuff to properly hurt myself
@@TheNovaJohn Like I said, I didn't need one yrs ago..... Now I need advil! I got up to piss at 6:30 this morning and kinda couldn't walk, all day my right leg has felt like it's someone else's..... It doesn't hurt, it isn't numb, yet it's been like bizarre all day. All I did was carry a huge dead AC unit down 2 flights of stairs... WTF is happening to me?????
@@arthurpanico1275 Yea,, I have No Problem Lifting, its when I throw my back out like it has been all week,,,Lifting and carrying 42inch heavy gauge cutting decks...
Its time to get a lifting cart and a Full Size ATV/Tractor Table.
Great work

Cheers
Welcome to the channel Dave!
Thanks for watching!
Get a Patent out on that quick Arch !!!!
Fun but tedious and messy project
I'm making a 'huge' one at the moment 350cm by 350cm (+-12feet * 12 feet) as a cover for a hottub, it will only have to rise from 1/3 to 4/5 cause if it started 'to flat' I couldn't find an obtanium way to power it going up (since it's carrying the weight of a deck) atm I'm using a truck winch in my plans :D
Did you calculate the strenght needed for the axles in any way or just 'over built' it heavily?
That sounds sweet! Good luck with it!
Experience is usually my guide. I look at things that are already made carefully. Like a floor jack wheels for example. I think of what other things do and support when I look for something I need. Engineers have tables which we can use as well but if you take something and think on it it will tell you basically what you can expect from it!
Thanks for watching!
Are you a traveling man ?
not these days,why?
What size thread and tpi did you use?
On what part? Sorry but there are many things with threads on this machine
@@TheNovaJohn Sorry the , I assume, Acme screw you used to do the lifting.
@@mickjager5974 I don't know, if you remember I took that from the old jack.
As far as I know, acme threads are coarse and come in sizes based upon the diameter. If I were to get, its at least 1/2 or 7/16 size rod
@@TheNovaJohn Cool thanks!
Yet another great build video ruined by background music.
yea, Cuz ya have crap taste! next time I will put up ABBA fer ya lol hehehe
@@TheNovaJohn don’t bother won’t be coming back fool
Cant make everyone happy,,,its a free video Fool!
