Container Weld Shop build -

[BukitCase]

As usual, the weather man LIED - it was 93 in the shop when I quit, woulda gave up sooner if it wasn't for a healthy dose of bull-headedness and a 30" pedestal fan on high, aimed right at my head :laughing:

Here's the results of my stubbornness; these pics should help clarify what I tried to explain in the previous post - if not, I'll explain later when I'm not drug backward thru a knothole :thumbdown: ...Steve

OK, fine; the SHORT version - imagine one of these
Amazon.com: Stoneman Sports QSP-36 Sparehand Steel Adjustable Cargo Bar for Trucks Vans and SUVs, Red Finish: Sports & Outdoors

in place of my hand in the bottom pics - then picture a plasma torch being drug around the outside of the wood frame til a piece of the wall falls out (this will be done from the INSIDE) -

Now, if that happens BEFORE I do one final step, the template would fall out along with the piece of corrugated wall - NOT good, so there will be 2 more "spider legs" screwed to the protruding ends of those long boards across the center of each template; those will ALSO touch the wall - that way, when the cut is finished those "spider legs" will hold the template where it is, and only the cut out piece will fall (I hope)

I cant comment right now and or criticize and or make fun of and or find fault with and or pick apart any of your latest pictures because I'm still stuck on the beneficial practicality of this (AccuScribe Pro) I know I'm upset about that to......:bawling:

I get so irritated when I look something up on youtube and watse 10 min of iraplaceble time on BLA BLA BLA IT WORKS GREAT and dont show how it works great. It's a compass ok that's good, has a pencil sharpener-ish or is there more ish-ish to that, but but is it $25.00 good. Scribing a line at an angle dont tell me nothing, finding an angle number degree now that tells me something on a chop saw or any saw, and scribing 1/8------1"++++++++++==== a block of wood, but wait I have a block of wood, preaty wood to. I just saved myself $20.00, oh that felt good

I watched this BLA BLA BLA youtube video and I think this guy could run for office somewhere, after a couple videos so far I haven't seen the WOW factor yet you know the kind that makes you run out the door to the nearest woodworking store and fight the mob just to get that FANTASTIC tool>>>

I looked at 4-5 vids on scribing, you're right - it's pretty easy to explain scribing to somebody who ALREADY KNOWS about it and how to DO it - I never did find one that wasn't a complete waste of time...

So I just ordered some accessories that'll let me set my phone up on a tripod (I have those for previous video productions I used to do for industrial safety vids) - the stuff I ordered includes a wireless remote for controlling the phone as a video recorder, plus I ordered a tripod adapter for my 7" tablet too (easier to see what you're doing on the bigger screen) - That stuff should be here in about a week, then I'll see if I can make a vid that's worth watching (got a couple awards on my safety vids, so there's hope :laughing

In the meantime, do yourself a favor - FORGET the dang "high dollar compass", just look at the bottom 3 pics - they were actually shot INSIDE the container, and show how the pattern will sit against the corrugated walls. There's enough in those pics to get an idea how my pattern will work, and we can go back to the "scribing of the squiggles" fiasco AFTER I figger out how to make vids with a phone instead of a few thou of REAL gear

This AM I got the "spidey legs" done on both patterns (didn't take pics yet, maybe later tonite) - and the weld-on hooks for 1/2" chain got here - I'll be adding those and some D-rings to my pair of "tinker toys" that already have smaller hooks welded on the other side. I'll cross-drill the tubes so they can fit my receivers in all 4 rotations.

Most of my chains are smaller (3/8" and 5/16"), and aren't rated high enough to make me wanna use 'em to lift the 2 shop containers while I shove the "UGLY GRAY lego blocks" under 'em, but I got one Grade 70 1/2" chain that'll work (WLL of 12,000 lbs, but doesn't quite fit in 3/8" hooks, so this is just "one more duck" to get in a row before the big move)...

Got a chance to grab a pic of the 2 patterns, complete with "spidey legs" (the ugly gray add-ons) -

Manana's 'sposed to be cool again, I'll probably take advantage of that and re-do my two grab hook inserts - they were startin' to get a little rusty anyway, good excuse to shoot 'em with more of that UGLY gray paint ...Steve

I'd been thinking of a way to extend the container crane OUTSIDE the box a bit to make it easier to transfer things in/out of the container, looks like a few mods to my design could pull this off. Good thing I'm nowhere near actually BUILDING the thing yet :laughing: ... Steve

OK, maybe I won't need to get back into vid production just yet - here's another 3:22 of time you'll never get back -

but it should clarify what scribing IS - and show that you don't NEED my "high dollar compass", but it WILL make SOME similar jobs EASIER with the extra angle adjustments... Steve

I've watched a couple of her videos, always wondered if she can make donuts to, she (I guess she's a she) has the same scriber I have, a simple scribe for simple people, I mostly use it to draw circles. I watched this one earlier, fairly good demo of it. Nightmare Baseboard Install !!! - YouTube

Some people consider themselves lucky to have enough hair to whack.....I'd want that crane to swing out to the side also, if the side was open, if not that looks like a good way to bring stuff in and out of the container, atleast from one end anyways.

I'm still not getting the the need for two different size wooden box patterns with all the pocket hole screws, except for wanting to use a pocket socket jig. To me one pattern one fan.

Now if they'd only make a Accuscribe that holds soapstone I wouldn't of had to spend 15 minutes making 1-1/8" thick stick to get this scribe line and sometimes, well all the time I never seem to have the right tool, I had to redneck weld a longer drill bit, you know how hard that is to get it so it dont wont wobble..............
