We've been needing some tall, adjustable, heavy duty jack stands on our farm for a long time now, mostly for jacking up our Willmar sprayer to change from wide flotation tires to skinny tires. But we're also currently working on changing out the main pin that the Willmar articulates on, which it's going to be really important to be able to securely support both sides of the machine while doing so. Most of the parts for the jack stands are cut out of one sheet of 1/4" plate, which I got loaded up onto the CNC table. The inner adjustable tube needs to slide in and out of an outer sleeve and have a tight fit, and since I didn't have any material that would work for this I had to fabricate the outer sleeve out of 4 cut sides of plate. With the outer tube done, I welded it onto the base plate, along with the corner gussets. Next I carefully measured and drilled the holes for the pin with the mag drill, which locks the jack stand in at different heights. Lastly I welded on some hand truck wheels, glued some thin rubber to the bottom of the stand, and gave them a coat of black paint. These jack stands are going to be great in the shop and on our farm. I'm guessing we'll be finding lots of uses for them.
This entire channel is amazing. I'm totally obsessed with the creativity, craftsmanship and just general smoothness he projects. I'm sold.
David Zimmer I’m sold on on this comment. Thanks David!
We agree, we forgot to subscribe until this video
I agree..
Just finished the doors and licht (and some random vid's)
There is 1 conclusion.......
I married the wrong guy 🤣
@@deborahmeijer9697 Too funnny
I watch this and dream while awake.... I swear, it's amazing to be able to do it.... but you must watch Dreamday material... Bravo
Hey bud just a quick observation and suggestion. My experience servicing heavy equipment in the steel mill industry working around one off type tools made to service 1 piece of machinery. Please consider trimming your outer tube 1/2 inch or placing a stop at the bottom so your Bottle jack plate on the inner tube does not stop hard on that outer tube. I could see the cringe in your face when dropping those in with your fingers wrapped around that plate. The pinch point could end-up being a bad day on the farm for someone just trying to let the stand down getting a finger pinched there.
A couple of squares of rubber mat inside the bottom of the outer tube might work. Or just a chunk of 2x4!
@@rentbennett Or steel.
Finger-pinching is a problem that all jack-stands share, especially the traditional sawtooth-shaft ones. I've lost more bits of skin off my hands using jack-stands than from any other type of tool or implement, including angle-grinders, which are supposedly the most dangerous hand-held tool there is. I've only ever had one or two minor grinder incidents, but I lose skin literally every time I touch a jack-stand. Those pinches hurt far more than they should, too. Far as I'm concerned, jack-stand shafts could have been effectively used as a medieval torture instruments. It would bring a whole new meaning to death by a thousand *painful* cuts lol.
never lost any skin using jackstands
@@ElvicFarms Then you're in the minority. Saw-tooth jack-stands are notorious for pinching off little chunks of flesh. Anyone who's ever moved jack-stands around in a hurry has experienced that.
I cant wait for a magnetic crane build for the shop, for the heavy pieces !
I have been in the fabricating industry for 30 years, now have my own small shop. Came across your Channel
Last year. When I get stressed and need a relaxation outlet I turn to yours or Bob Ross! Your projects are interesting and your video presentation and narration I find very satisfying and relaxing! My wife will come through the living room and say “are you watching the Rainman welder guy again?” I just smile and say yes.
To those that gave thumbs down, there are millions of worthless fabricating videos worth trolling and giving negative comments, leave this channel alone!
Justin: “thank you for your support, Honey”
Me: don’t waste this opportunity for a
Justin: “and you too, Kelly”
Me: My man!
With the way I tend to trip over stuff, I would have painted those things bright arse Orange :)
There's a reason I wear neon yellow gloves when working. Keeps you aware of your hands at all times, and allows you to not become complacent
😂
"On the next Rainfall Projects: 50 Ton Bridge Crane fabricated from plasma CAM cut components"
A couple helpful tips for you: instead of always using hard wire MIG, swap over to Flux Core wire. Since you often weld through mill scale, MIG is not great for penetration and strength. Flux Core is basically wire-fed stick welding. Stronger, no gas, less prep.
With your Mag Drill, instead of large twist bits, use some annular cutters. You don't need the pilot holes since the annual cutter is basically a hole saw. Faster, more precise, less wear.
For your jack stands, next time space the outer tube by using some MIG wire laid on two sides. that 0.035 gap will be perfect fit and clearance for sliding them and keeping them sure-fitting.
Always enjoy your work ethic, creativity, and attention to detail!
Weird, never expected that he meant literal stands for jacks. Going into the video, I was thinking just tall versions of what you use when working on a car. 🤣
thats one thing you never weld yourself
@@b5580 yes it is... stop being daft even a dually 3500 only weighs 11,000lbs if you cant weld something that can hold 1/4 of that you should be welding, theres little to no dynamic forces acting on jack stands just static gravity
Brudesey Uhhh how would that be any more dangerous than this?
Or are you just saying that they’re so cheap that nobody would bother?
@@Nevir202 My thinking was the way he did it, its for a huge tractor thats being supported by the wheels, hes just working on parts underneath it, which was very cool. As for working underneath a car those jack stands fail the car is on top of you.
I'd much rather an underpaid, overworked factory worker in another country weld my jackstands.
Watching this video I remembered how much I like seeing all the VO-AG (vocational/agricultural) projects during State Fair time! Always a pleasure to see something so useful being fabricated on the farm/ranch. Always exposed to welding growing up, but finally my birthday snuck up on me, so I bought my first welding system for a buddy and me...and off we went! So great to fabricate around the homestead! Thanks for sharing, enjoyable as always! Now to check out your sponsor HONEY, I've heard good things about them!
I just discovered your channel about a week ago. I am getting close to watching every video you have made now, and I am amazed! Thank you for the great content, witty humor, and just generally being a good guy, you sir are a rare gem!
loved the balcony series! you should do sorta a “shop in progress tour” showing off where everything’s at and what you’re working on in the future!
made a similar set for working on my jeep so i can have it jacked up by the frame and droop the axles out, just 1" tubing inside of 1.5" tubing with a 3/8" pin, did the same 1" off set holes to double the positions, used 3 "legs" rather than a flat bottom to make them sit flat and be useable and pretty uneven surfaces
before someone says im crazy for only using a 3/8" pin realize the single shear of 3/8" grade 8 is 16,000lbs and these stands use double shear so 32,000 lbs per corner.. you could balance a jeep on a single stand and still have a 6x safety factor
It’s gold you got your cnc plasma cutter and your talent is amazing. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Awesome project. Really looking forward to the fit-out of that van too.
Oh, and you definitely need a crane. I built mine and have never looked back. Its such a backsaver, especially as we age....😮. Jib and a vacuum lift! See you on the next one!
Nothing better than fabricating you own product. No limitations now expectations. Just yourself to please. The sky is the limit. Love it. Good work. Great exercise of skill
a jib crane over the plasma table would be nice!
yeah, bummer i just scrapped a 1/2 ton jib out last year that was in almost perfect shape.
Or....just put the plasma table under a jib crane.
Braden Elledge yes please!

Necessity is the mother of all invention has never been more true as proven by you guys on farms making it happen!
I would like to recommend the Fireball triangle to you. They are insanely useful in the kind of work you do and they are the type of purchase that will last you a lifetime. They have been endlessly useful to my work and they make fabrication super fast because it makes measurement, alignment and clamping super fast and fiddly free. Anyway, just a recommendation from a fan of Fireball triangles and your UA-cam channel..
That barn is nuts
Awesome! You must love that plasma table. I remember your earlier videos using the torch!
Fantastic project!
Awesome set of jack stands. I like the wheel idea. Having a plasma CNC on hand makes life so much easier. I should have my second Langmuir built in the next week or two. I was so glad when they came out with one that would fit in a small shop.
I thought my browser was following me and recommended one of your old videos since I've been looking up jack stands for the last hour to get some ideas for a similar project. Turns out it was serendipity. :)
Dying to see more of the van build!
You do amazing work! Your van build brought me here. Thank you Sir.
Justin, Your ingenuity continues to impress and amaze! And your video editing is also excellent! I've been a fan for awhile now and look forward to every time I get notified you have something new out! Namaste!
I always enjoy watching your videos.
Insightful, easy to understand and practical.
Necessity IS the mother of invention. Great build.
That looks like a very usefull bit of kit & it was very entertaining watching it being built, cheers mate
another nice well put together project. Thank you for sharing.
Awesome build. Those are some heavy duty stands!
Just re-watched this for second(third) time and wanted to say that I love these little farm shop projects. Thank you! :)
Wow, those are some really good cuts.
Love your design, thank you for sharing your amazing story. God bless you and your family.
Nice stands! I've seen some similar, same idea with the wheels.
As always, you do great work!
Thanks for the video 😎
👍😁
That was fantastic!!cheers from Toronto Canada!!
Those are better built and better looking than pretty much anything you could buy. Nice Job!
These are way cool! Nicely done!
Great job as usual. Your videos are calm and collected. I find myself just waiting to see what your next video will be. Awesome channel bud
Just turned 18 today and it's always my dream to have a shop like yours man good videos keep it upp!!!
Hey big guy awesome build! I have made a set of jack stands as well and one thing that really helped is I put two gas springs inside the stand in the corners so it wouldn’t interfere with the cross pin. I weighed the top piece with the jack on it then went to McMaster Carr and sized two gas springs (or shocks) that had the right amount of travel and external force to lift the top portion. Then I plasma cut a plate to sit inside the bottom piece and the top piece with holes in the corners to line up the threaded ends of the shocks. I put nuts on the threaded ends of the shocks to push against the plasma pieces. And then put it all back together. Now I slide the stand under pull the pin and the top sits still and I push up with about 5lbs of force and I can easily set the pin hole where ever I like. And since the gas springs and plasma plates aren’t welded in I can just lift the top out if one ever fails and I need to replace it. I also drilled holes on the blank side of the jack stand half a spacing off from the original holes. Really helped with adjustability in any scenario.
Miss your farming videos, great work as always
great stands. never would have thought to mount a jack on top. Great idea. would like to see a video if you make a crane for the plasma table.
Awesome build and story, man
I would go with the same kind of hoist system you have in the farm shop over the plasma table. If you get a magnet to hang from it, handling those big sheet of metal will be a piece of cake. Love the videos, although I would love to see more of the farm work. Always fun to see what you are up to on the farm.
Cheers from Sweden.
Great design and build!
Job done with flying colours! Awesome Cheers
We have similar homemade jack stands at my shop, we work on commercial trucks, the base is a 22.5” semi wheel and the masts are semi trailer jacks, we use them usually to put a body on and be able to vary the height, incredibly handy when rebuilding the subframe of a box truck
The dislikes are from jack stand retailers.
@Mike LOL
And orthopedic doctors
Nice set of jack stands! May need to build a set for working on our Haggie sprayer. ...Like your videos!
Came out great.
So, gantry crane next? Both to move sheets of steel for the plasma cutter and to load projects like this without killing your back?
David Aguirre I would love to. I have plans...
You do such good work! Amazing.
VERY impressive! Reminds me of stuff Fireball Tool has fabricated .
Jackstands and vices that will last well into the next millenium!
What an awesome job!
Very happy to see you are a fellow Oregonian cheers from The Portland area!!!!
Excellent as usual!!! Nicely done!
that was super satisfying
Nice job!! Save the headache of drill holes by pulling a few grids on your plasma and tack a fixture where top of tubes set flush. Then let the plasma do all your holes. To load your sheets get a plate clamp and a chain hoist and make a swinging jib arm. Great video!!
These are the videos I love to watch. Keep up the good work
Great job. I'd probably put some axle grease on them too. So they won't bind if they get rusty.
I really enjoy your videos. It would be fantastic if you did a video or two focusing on the path from CAD -> CAM -> plasma cutting. The construction aspect is awesome, but so is the design!
Enjoyed watching how you problem solved, once again!
Nice work. They turned out great...👍
A little tip from one metal fabricator to another, is to try and finish drilling holes etc. on the individual parts before welding everything together. Most often it will save you a lot of time and frustration.. Sometimes you can't get access to everything when it's been welded together..
It would also enable you to tack the 4 outer pieces on top of each other and drill through them all in one go.. Then you're sure the holes will line up later...
Looking forward to seeing more of your projects... Subscribed
They turned out amazing, though I'm surprised just how much that amount of metal costs
Damn those are sick. Wish I had something huge that needed jacked up to make a set.
Sweet stands!
Very good project for me to attempt with my everlast equipment. Those will come in very handy.
Thank u for the hard work. could make a few tabletops for it when there are more parties.
Just watched your Channel for the first time and I Subscribed ! Great Video and Fabrication Skills! True Craftsman !
Love the gopro man, really makes the video better!
Nice work!
Excellent workmanship 🇮🇪👏
You need a swinging Gantry and a lifting Magnet to off load those sheets. Both from your truck and the cart and over your machine to place the sheets! .… Awesome work. I really enjoy your channel. It could be your next project. :)
Great build.
Really like your videos.
Hi used a engine hoist with a magnet plate clamp too move your steel plate, from the truck too plasma cutter, nice axle stands 👍👍👍air to bottle jack is quicker than hand cracking used that as a back up no air lol.
Great video! Thanks for showing us. You got skills brother !
Who the hell are the six people that didn't like this! Come on people, this was great!
NASA engineers I guess
Great project well done.
2 more and a movable table for uneven ground would be a great use for them
Love it Justin!
Well done!
Well done!!
Excellent videos love them enjoy them and think they are very well done great voice great shop barn great projects keep up the excellent work
Very good job!
strong work!
Awesome project... love it...
I feel your pain when it comes to shifting sheet onto the cutting table. I have a 1kW fiber laser and sometimes cut 8mm sheet on it. Even with a manual fork lift stacker they are hard to get onto the table. Unfortunately I have no room for a jib crane.
Thanks for your videos man. Thanks! Keep it up
Wow a Rainfall Projects video and a Forme Industrious video on the same morning, it’s going to be a great day!
I just found and subscribed to this channel but I’ve been following Scott turner for a long time. One man band woodworks you have good taste ha.
@@adamw225 both excellent makers, if you haven't yet have a look at Atilla's Workshop
@@OneManBandWoodworks I’ll check it out. Just had a look at your channel as well, how’s the leg going ?
@@adamw225 I'm walking again and off the Endone so I don't do 5 minutes ranting intros...
@@OneManBandWoodworks haha
Yep you need a gantry crane, great videos. And an awesome build as allways.
Loading material on to the CNC plasma; over head rolling crane with a chain winch and magnetic lifter :)
Wow ! awesome job
Outstanding
Cut a drain hole in the base of the upright because it’s amazing how mush fluid will build up in there even when only used in side
Man your videos are great. Your voice is soothing for some reason.
Awesome job. You're quite the fabricator
AWESOME JOB .AWESOME SHOP. VERY PROFESSIONAL. AWESOME VEDEO.
Fantastic!
