hi this is Frank super volunteer from
0:11
pro Schaefer and Ray wants me to show
0:14
you guys how to cut a piece for the
0:16
English wheel that we designed and have
0:18
been selling plans for we're going to
0:21
cut the number four piece and I'm going
0:23
to show you where that fits on the
0:25
drawing here so this will be the piece
0:28
that goes at the bottom here and we can
0:33
see it fits right on and I'm going to
0:35
show you how to mark it out and cut it
0:37
the one thing we found in building the
0:39
other English wheel was we should try
0:41
and match the seams up so I'm gonna put
0:44
this seam at the bottom we cut this end
0:50
off square with the big Johnson verdict
0:53
will be and so on you may not have a big
0:56
Johnson but don't be intimidated we're
0:58
going to show you how you cut steel
1:00
regardless of what kind of cutting tool
1:04
you have now what I'm going to do is
1:10
hold this flat against here put this
1:12
here and I'll make my mark for the
1:26
then I can do the same on the other side
1:38
I have a square here where I can hear
1:48
again hold this up right on my line get
1:55
the square on the point so I know right
1:58
where I got a right where the point is
2:00
up at the top and I'll do the same at
2:03
the bottom one of the as you see I'm
2:17
using the square with the pattern and it
2:20
compensates for this curve here because
2:21
you don't have a shop 90-degree Bend and
2:24
sometimes they can be difficult to do we
2:29
have Makita with a massages us leave its
2:35
5 inch 5 inch with a 5 inch cutting disk
2:37
and update shield the probably should
2:43
have gloves on ever feel where they are
2:45
at the moment here we go they say Frank
2:47
on it so I don't have to worry about any
2:50
cross-contamination my cameraman's
2:55
laughing at my humor you should have
3:00
seen him when I talked about the big
3:02
Johnson so I'm gonna start here's my
5:55
okay we got this side quite good this
5:58
side use a little touch-up I failed to
6:02
cut the angle here and here you're
6:04
probably going to have to take a grinder
6:07
and touch things up a little bit maybe
6:10
you are a better fabricator than I am
6:12
most likely you are maybe you have a big
6:16
Johnson and you can cut the 45 and out
6:19
which will make it nice and as we can
6:22
see we got our link cut here we're here
6:25
one there but the grinder can take care
6:27
of that you can get a nice tight fit
6:29
which will make good welds this is
6:33
probably the easiest quickest way to do
6:36
it you'll go through a few cut off
6:38
wheels and back of me we have the
6:41
Louisville press that we built mark and
6:44
zoom in on that and that was 10 by 6 3 H
6:49
steel when we cut that with a plasma
6:51
cutter you can cut this with a plasma
6:54
cutter too ok for the next step I have a
6:57
Makita 7 inch grinder here and will with
7:01
a 36 grit grinding disc on it and we're
7:05
going to use that to clean up my cut
8:35
okay that looks pretty close right there
8:40
one of the difficulties and cutting this
8:43
is this stuff is not exactly square so
8:47
you kind of got to work around the
8:48
curves and whatnot you'll see that this
8:52
isn't necessarily if you draw our line
8:55
square here and here it may not come out
8:59
exactly like you kind of got to be
9:01
careful with what you do the nice thing
9:04
about welding is it's easy to fill stuff
9:07
and the guys like me anyways and that's
9:13
how you cut the 45 with a cut-off wheel
9:16
and a 7-inch grinder we we also tried I
9:22
don't have here but one of those metal
9:24
cutting blades on a skill saw and that
9:27
cut this stuff pretty good but you know
9:32
the shoe wouldn't stay quite square we
9:35
had trouble keeping a square cut go and
9:37
throw and but here we go - you can cut
9:41
it off with that it cuts pretty quickly
9:42
and you can go back to the grinder and
9:45
clean things up and square them up all
9:47
of you like them and just remember
9:50
there's always more than one way to skin
9:52
a cat and this is just how we happen to
9:55
do it today approach shape thanks for
