Uses are endless. honestly those brackets are my favorite part in fabricating something useful .great job & keep dreaming

Rivets are typically removed by drilling the one side out with a large bit then punching them out. Which method did you use to weld these because from what I understand, they are hardened steel. I've used stick, MIG and TIG and it seems I've had the best luck with the TIG (most likely because I'm not good at any of them and got lucky with the TIG).

I tacked them with TIG and welded them out with MIG.

Found this out when I started collecting them up,a lot of bedframes are actually recycled (already, lol) from railroad track, super tough stuff! As long as the welds don't cool off too quickly, you should be good. Can always hit it with a torch if you are unsure.

Awesome job Bruce, what's the ratio of projects that are done out of necessity vs sheer boredom.😀You guys done any camping trips this summer.?

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks ELJ. I don't know the ratio but most of my projects are just projects I'm working on and I make a video of the process. No, we haven't made any camping trips this summer. I just haven't had the motivation and it's been real hot here this year.

We finally got a little rain and 85F temps today. This is the first day for about two weeks we've been less than 100F. It's a nice break but I don't think it's going to last more than a day. 😥

Colorado River and all the lakes along it are drying up.

What setting on the MIG did you use? Wire feed vs Power?

@DIYHomesteadProjectsDIYHP10 Жыл бұрын

I don't remember what settings I used but I usually just go off the chart for the material thickness I'm welding. This bed frame material is either 1/8" or 14 gauge.
