What happens here

The first step in construction is to assemble the metal frame for the fire pit. The creator introduces C-channel (tracks) and J-channel (studs) metal framing components. He measures and marks the C-channel tracks to the required dimensions for the base of the table, then cuts them using an angle grinder. He cuts several pieces to form the rectangular base and support structure. Then, he uses self-tapping sheet metal screws and a drill to fasten the cut pieces together, creating the initial frame. Safety glasses and gloves are worn during this process.

get our supplies full disclosure I've never worked with metal studs before with this stuff there's typically a two system that you need to be aware of there's the c channel which is your let's say you're framing a house will be your top your bottom your sides and then you have your metal STS themselves that have a little bit more uh beveled edges and rigidity and they kind of step inside there so the idea is we're going to cut our pieces with an angle iron and then screw them with self-tapping sheet screws and uh build this dang thing hey hey [Music]
