Welding Table Crane | JIMBO'S GARAGE

- I added a crane to my welding table to be able to help me get heavy items onto my welding table. Often I work by myself and it can be difficult to get big, awkward shaped or heavy things onto my table this crane will sure make things easier.

I'm all about "Work Smarter, not Harder". Nice work :)
Great little addition to any shop for us older guys.............................................................Fort Worth,Tx
What a brilliant piece of equipment. That yellow handle you removed was to help assist swinging the arm from safety so you aren’t under the arm if it gives way or the winch breaks.
As always, this is time well spent.
That random yellow nut that is welded to the side of the mast would be cut right off if that were in my shop. lolol. Nice work, Jimbo! That will come in very handy and I'm sure you'll find yourself using it more than you originally thought you would. 👍
Glad to see you still making videos.
Greetings Jimbo from a fellow Californian, now retired in Portugal.
Will be building a workshop space for myself in the next 12 months for both metal work and woodworking, I think this crane idea is phenomenal and can definitely see it being part of my workshop.
Thanks for all of the great videos and for this idea in particular.
Looks great. Smart to run the cables through the mast. Really lifted that plate compactor like it was nothing!
Jimbo, you're making this the shop of the century. Hope it does its job for you old timer.
What a brilliant addition to your amazing workshop 👍
Glad to see someone else doing this!! I have a "truck crane" much like yours, I have been thinking about putting it on my welding bench for the same reason!! Nice job!!
Great addition. Makes so much sense. Work smarter, not harder!
We always need it!!!
could have run the countersink in the mag drill before moving to the next hole. great project!
This looks pretty slick, Jim! You're inspiring me to ditch the chainfall and put a motorized winch on my gantry crane.
Great job. Fantastic addition to the workshop
Hey Jimbo,
great addition to the shop!
I think that handel is there to turn the head of the crane left to right more easily with more torque
Pretty handy addition!
Great addition to the shop and to save your back.. I'd probably have added grommets to the tube where you drilled the holes for the winch wires to go through. Those edges will be cutting on the insulation/wires over time.
Ya know. I did look for one that size for a couple hours but I couldn’t find anything for that thick of steel. Let me know if you know where I can get something like that. Thanks for watching -Jimbo
Try McMaster-Carr. They have an extensive selection of types and sizes.
A pex pipe plastic insert might work
@@JimbosGarage Check out McMaster-Carr, A great resource for makers like us. They have grommets that will probably work. Love the videos Jimbo!
McMastercarr 9307K49 is a rubber grommet to go through 3/8" thick material. They have ones for 1/4", 1/2" and more. I've used 1/4" hex shank step bits on drill bit extensions for deep holes like that pass through and they leave a nice chamfered edge on your hole.
Love these videos. Keep it up!
Crane looks awesome. I recently added a trolley and chainfall to the I beam that runs the length of my shop and am finding it very useful. For those countersinks I use my drill press. Easy set up and can set a depth stop for consistency if you want. I also find the multi flute cutters chatter more than the single flute ones.
I have wanted to do that to my welding table forever. Nice job.
Nice build
nice project, best regards from Venezuela
Hello from California!
Love it!!
That's awesome! The very nature f working with metal means things can get HEAVY! It's smart to have the means to easily deal with those projects.
Very very nice Jimbo!
Awesome. Hopefully you get great use out of it for many years to come my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep making. God bless.
Very nice
That's a COOL Project. I c converted a Harbor Freight truck bed crane to fit the hitch of my pickup, with the tailgate down. That way I don't have to lift anything too high to get it in the truck. Thanks for sharing.
Ditto on the mag drill w/ countersink BUT that's trumped by an electric jib crane on that fixturing table! That is BADASS JIMBO! Definitely jealousy.
We have a King Metal in the Dallas area its great ,Good intel sir
Look for the wireless controllers for the winches. Makes working with these a heck of a lot easier! (And it’s plug and play)
I did this with the Harbor Freight crane and manual winch.
😀
You ought to get a lifting magnet that you can just slap on your material to hook it straight to the crane.
I installed a host on a trolley over my welding table, doesn’t take up any floor or table space, 1 ton capacity.
The name of the rope is Dyneema. Amsteel Blue is one brandname. Brilliant stuff and it floats too. Not cheap though.
Only thing I would change is to put a single point stop on the head so the boom cannot make full circles. With the power cable run through the inside I can see you forgetting how many times you have spun the boom in the same direction and damaging the cable. Other wise it’s a solid idea. I was debating putting a winch onto my engine lift for similar occasions.
Jim,
Great idea, but I’m confused.
Why could you not use the mag drill’s drill chuck with the countersink?
Are rpm’s an issue when countersinking?
Happy to hear from anybody able to enlighten.
I did something like this but I mounted a Milwaukee battery holder to eliminate the power cord.
Great idea, great video. This will be very handy and your back will appreciate it to. Q. You may have addressed off camera or I didn't see but did you put protection on the power cables going through the drilled holes? Grommets or other means would protect you from a short and possible electrocution later. Just a thought.
Thanks for sharing.
At your age jimbo working smarter and not harder is the name of the game. Just one question, did you consider how you plan to use your table extension on larger jobs having the boom bolted to the table?
Awsome job. Can you send a link for the 110v to 12v power supplie. Thanx
Mr. Jimbo n greeting from Philippines! if you can make video how to make garage folding rolling sliding gate. very much thanks.
Oh man, I think your not going to be happy loosing that free work space. Should have went overhead w a jib crane and elect wrench on a trolley. I did one in my work area and it keep the space free to swing 6 to 8' long tube or pipe sections.
What countersink did you use? I am looking for a good one. Thanks!
Christo here from South Africa. I must complimemt you on a very neat and smart workshop. what is the square footage of you workshop?
👍🤘🤙
Why not counter sink with the mag? You coulda popped in the drill chuck after each hole.
Nice but the next welding large frame then it will be in the way for sure. It will be on and off then in the corner...
Nice mods but id be worried that the electrical cable wears through eventually electrifies the crane body and giving you a shock.
What was that reamer set?
Sou inscrito e eu nao estava recebendo as notificações , por que?
Awesome, but why not weld the plate to plate to not have the bolts out like that ?
Link for the crane please
Should have got a hi-jack
I work on small engines and trailers and have something similar for my truck hitch and I have to modify a lot. Amazon is great horrible thing
Wouldn’t it be better to install the crane on the left corner? If you ever have to move in a wide piece you just cut your garage opening in half? Crane might be in the way? Just wondering…
Why not use the magdrill to counter sink the bolts?
Have to have the right collet
Jim, you could have married me to your daughter and have a guy fulltime around for helping with the lifting, welding, forging, ... :D
Was anyone else screaming use the mag drill to counter sink
why did you spend 20 min setting up the mill so you could bolt the plate to the crane? i know you have a welder....
too weak fixing screws to the table, drill larger holes in table and use screws 10.9 class minumum metric thread M14 -M16.
At 6:00 you can see again what an inferior toy these cordless drills are.
