Keith has a 39" diameter Poplar that has the potential to take out some high-tension power lines. Serious planning goes into its removal!
Truss plate press
Переглядів 34 тис.5 років тому
A homemade press for installing gang nail plates into a truss. These trusses are set 24” on center. The original drip line was high enough to allow the extended overhang without headroom concerns.
Nice. They hammer the gang nail which damage the wood and it fall off in future
You got it, Thanks for the feedback
How heavy is that giant C-clamp and what is its thickness of steel?? Just seeing what little of it as I did is making my hernia flair up, especially then dragging it up and down a ladder up ten or so feet in the air plus like twenty times or so, lol Oh, by the way... that's one helluva AWESOME invention man!
Sorry, had to get the bathroom scale out to the shop. The backbone of the C frame is 5/8" thick. The bolsters on either side of that spine are 3/4". The plates that hold the pieces are 1/2". It weighs 25.2 lbs.
as all the commenters say, very clever. however, i would have used galvanized plates with pre-drilled holes fixed in place with tek-screws, just in case my attempt at your machine didnt work very successfully.
Nicely done.
Couldn't you have just put a sister joist on each side with a 3ft board to make that extension? That would have taken about less than 10 mins and wouldn't have had to make up that crazy concoction just to hold the weight of a 2 ft span of metal roofing edge that weights less than 5pds
You sir are correct, I certainly could have, that's not the way I like to do things! I enjoy fabricating in metal. Not that it changes what you're saying but we used to get crazy snow loads in upstate NY.
Fantastic Job.
Perfect 👍
Very creative and innovative!
Pretty damned clever. I really dig the REN magnets to hold the plates in place.
great job
Thank You.
clever and practical design, especially magnet on it. Thank you for sharing.
Nice concept. Video could have been 45 seconds without odd & unrelated comments
AWESOME! Super ingenious!
Those truss plates are flat, impressive
Very Good!!!
That would be a very cool tool for those repairing rotten fascia, rotten rafter ends and rotting truss ends. I think that I will be making one myself. Thanks again for sharing! 👍😉
Thanks Daniel, please realize as was mentioned in the comments recently. You should rotate the push plates 90 degrees. They should run parallel to the wooden member along their length. Have fun.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing...
A scarf joint would be another option if you are comfortable with a saw
Good point Zach. I like playing with Metal ;)
I would think a 4' to 6 foot 2 x 4 nailed on the side would be stronger.
well done!!
Youre great. 😄😌
i like it.... planning on building a greenhouse this summer, and this will be the ticket - i can build them on the ground so won't have to worry about the height... glad to know 20 pound jack will work - have seen lots of videos that say you need a 50ton...
There may be some legitimacy to the 50 ton jack statement. I was using hem fir where I believe most "manufactured trusses" use the harder SYP for some of the more demanding structures. I'm picturing your greenhouse being smaller, less span, and you will be fine! Thanks for the comment!
@@kevinghyzel7583 well the cost of wood - ANY wood has skyrocketed with this Covid thing, at least in Canada, but i expect to make it out of spruce... a sheet of OSB used to be around 18 bucks - 56 bucks now!! hmmm... wonder what the chances are it will go back down after everyone is vaccinated... i just need something that i can use here on site, and use myself. i'm not a huge woman, and i live WAYYYYYY out in the sticks... but i'll be building it on the ground... two years ago i bought a thing called an 'order picker' - basically a single person elevator kind of thing, so that should help getting stuff from 'down here' to 'up there'.
tanks,i did not no u knead a 20 tn pusher
Very Clever!!! I like the way you think. This will be very helpful on an upcoming project at my property in Michigan. Thanks!!
Excellent, good luck!
Looks a little cumbersome, but hey that's my style. Well done
we make these plates. If you need, please contact us steelcap.ru
Very clever , thinking outside the box
Thank You. I have some great friends who have a tendency to push me. The initial comments were "you can't extend two feet with a but end like that"! if they tell me what I can't do... well you can see the results. In any event pounding these in with a hammer overhead puts everything at risk, distorted nail plates and splintered wood. I can't remember mentioning it in the video but I weight in excess of 250# with my keys in my pocket and I hang off the end with not so much as a creak from the structure.
@@kevinghyzel7583 You hanging on it was just what this video needed, very disappointed when it got to the end without you doing that.
@@That1ufo Sorry I couldn't do that as a video selfie, like I said no videographer working with me on a Sunday.
