Save the $200 build your own fab table axle stands! I made mine out of all scrap metal!
What happens here
The project begins by showcasing the initial components: two square metal plates, which will serve as the bases for the fixture. These plates already have circular holes, likely for clamping purposes. A red speed square is visible nearby, suggesting that precise measurements or angles will be involved. The video then transitions to showing several smaller, angled pieces of metal. These angular pieces appear to have been cut from larger stock and are typically triangular or trapezoidal, intended to provide structural support for the fixture.
Goal: Prepare the main square base plates and cut angled metal pieces for structural support.
Tools and materials
- Angled metal pieces — Creating the structural supports and bracing for the fixture
- Metal cutting tool — Cutting the larger metal stock into the required angled pieces
- Metal plates — Serving as the base components for the welding fixture
- Safety glasses — Protecting eyes from sparks and metal debris during cutting and grinding
- Speed square — Marking straight lines and specific angles on metal for accurate cuts
- Work gloves — Protecting hands from sharp edges and heat during handling and cutting
