Hey just for next time you said you got 3-inch screws so they would go through one board and half way into the other but 3 inch screws would actually go all the way through both because 2x4s actually measure 1.5" by 3.5" not 2" by 4" 👍
Ya....us carpenters know these measurements like nothing. I can give inch measurements pretty accurately....simply with my fingers...lol. Wood blocking, though, is not worth it anymore, unless youj're doing it with blatant scraps of wood. 2 x 4s are have gone up enormously in price. Here in Canada, it costs about $25 Canadian for a 12 ft 2 x 4. It's absolutely ridiculous right now.
Thanks for posting this... Due to economic times, FJB, I turned in my lease and decided to find a used car to purchase, and I only wanted to spend around $2000 - $4000. Well I found one, and guess what, my $2000 2003 Buick Park Avenue needs bushings, like all of them. These cribs saved my bacon, as the local shops are outrageous. Going to be dropping the front and rear subframes this weekend to do some parts replacement. These cribs make the job incredibly safe and efficient. I built four of them, and constructed each one in two pieces, get it off the ground and GET IT OFF THE GROUND. Thanks again. Total cost for lumber and screws, around $100 at Home Depot. I got lucky, fresh shipment of 2x4's, and the wood was actually straight, no crown, no cracks and few if any knots. I thought I was in heaven! LOL! I never see this quality of standard 2x4's at Home Depot.
Wood blocking is okay, been used for years in rigging and construction watch around bridge highway constructions as you are driving around and you'll see them used large scale, it is how houses are rigged to prepare to slide beams underneath them for moving. If you are going to do this long term you can make some like they have at LKQ u-pick yards. One rim horizontal the other perpendicular, need more height add same size rim on bottom, just weld them together, like 1" long welds. Just tell folks you are looking for scrap steel rims, when you get enough weld a stack together. They put them under the frame or at unibody jack points. If those poles are not fastened to the ground you might want to hang blocks just off the ground at each pole to keep cover from becoming a kite, seen a bunch of them blown around at the flea market here in SC.
take 2 old steel rims wield them together one flat the other standing up it will lock into the frame with a good base best jack stands i have and the safest
bro...put the legs of your tarp in 5 gallon buckets filled with concrete..wont blow over and you can still take it apart..also I ran selftappers into all the pieces that went together
I like how you make those stands I do not trust jack stands anymore with the saw tooth adjustment I just do not trust them I use cinder blocks for anything dealing with raising a vehicle for a sustained amount of time. I think you should cement that area of the yard the tent is a nice touch and I know it is your parents home but cement that area in for working on cars it is just going to be safer.
Maybe we ( the people that know that you know what wood is) just don't want you getting hurt. Your a good guy Craig but your as sarcastic as hell. You need to drop that. Your very talented for being so young. Just take our criticism as parental guidance. Love your videos and 71 f100 . I also have a 71 f100 that's white. Sat in a barn for 22 yrs.
I never use jackstands I always use rim's with tires mounted on them or plain rims, never had a problem unlike jackstands all those are good for is scrap weight.
Looks Gud cuz! Lol, would it be more sturdy to turn them the other way just to give a touch of side support? Not that I think it will slide side to side but I've never seen one slide off a jackstand either.... matter of fact, I got a 68 f100 on a jackstand n it's been ft way for at least 3 years out in my yard..... on non level ground...... I ain't getting under it! But it ain't went nowhere yet!
@@aaronrodriguez110 Hmm, I guess you would need to before putting them together to make sure everything was coated. Then would need to cover the nail / screw holes to keep water out as well. Will add quite a bit more time and still not sure I would leave them sit on wet pavement. Maybe use treated lumber, at least for the bottom pieces.
@@onlywenilaugh6589 yeah you could. I really just depends on how long you plan on leaving them on there, too. Any jack stand is a temp thing. I think you could leave it for a few weeks if not a couple months and it'd be just fine if it was painted. As far as screws or nails go, if the application of these is for them to remain outside then galvanized would be the way to go certainly.
I can see the title for the next video... "RUINED!! My harbour freight canopy blew down in the storm and destroyed my car!" if I were you Craig, I'd anchor that puppy down with a good set of heavy anchors... Or lags into the ground.
Imagine somebody with a kung fu grip doing a Karate chop thru all levels of your stand..now imagine your car going thru it the same way..u need a solid continuous tranfer of weight from the bottom of your tire to the ground.. Be safe..
You probably have no clue how strong a 2 x 4 is. These things are used to hold up much heavier vehicles...like pretty large boats. A 2 x4, even 16 inches long....will never break under the strain of 1/4 of the weight of a car or truck. It's ridiculous to think that could happen. Much safer than any jack stand, which can tip over with a bit of a shake of the vehicle.
If someone builds these cribbage blocks and gets hurt you could be sued. If you have a professional engineer design them and you have a stamp drawing you may need it in court. People have been killed using these.
Where’d you get your calculations from? I think you’re quite a ways off, no offense. Cribbing is a very old tried and tested solution that even firemen and rescue operatives utilize to this day. Although the basics of the original utilized softwood 4x4s, even 2x4s were common. I’d estimate it at around 10,000 pounds per wheel as a matter of fact, seeing that 4x4s box cribs can actually carry up to 24,000 pounds (at 5 on 5 pieces cross stacked high) due to the contact points. Even if you lie balled it to half of that for the 2x4s, at 6,000 ibs per wheel you’re still at 24,000 pounds all around, which is almost 12 tons. You have to remember where you see this daily in real life: pallets! Another VERY important factor in using such a wood contraption is that even the failure is SLOW! Meaning the fibers giving way to such an event would actually be slow enough to provide time to react, IF such an event were to happen in the first place. Anyway here is some reference: docs.google.com/presentation/d/1jqISUJ_yEIjnavCs0To2NDPl70oVCTCIt3Wlppp_Kfc/htmlpresent
@@gedionsamuel2256 calculator. 🤪. If you put your car on a set of scales to setup each corner spring rate, and you get a balanced weight on each corner of 850lbs x4=3400lbs
Mustang Guru My fault, I misinterpreted as if you were saying that those cribs could ONLY hold 850 pounds each! I didn’t know you were trying to say that the weight of the vehicle was that. Lower weight per corner means even better!
Just pour a damn slab ! You know you need one there anyway. 3 yards of concrete should do it. The rental places have it. You haul it home in a a one yard trailer. "cheap" ! Three trips. You got buddies to help. Quit doing this half assed.
It's called cribbing and they work great. Built a set a few years back and they've come in very handy on multiple projects

It's called cribbing blocks.
Only suggestion. Make sure you have anchors on the tent or you are going to be chasing that thing down the block. Good luck with the build.

I hope this stayed up ok today . I live in Rancho San Diego and this storm today is no joke!
A 2x4 isn't actually 2 inches by 4 inches. Their only 1 1/2 inches thick and 3 1/2 wide.

Wow...64 Galaxy.drove one my college freshman year. loved it.

You also can make a stop for your drop saw 😊
Good instruction on the wooden jack stands. Thank you for doing this video.
I like thia idea. I usually just stack up pcs of wood. This is much safer. And easier to work underneath!
bro...put the legs of your tarp in 5 gallon buckets filled with concrete..wont blow over and you can still take it apart..also I ran selftappers into all the pieces that went together
They are called a crib , and yes they can take alot of weight
i built a stackable type that you can adjust the height easily. it is much better. with every stack that can be added or removed.
We do exactly this where I work, only difference is we put houseboats on ours!!
I like how you make those stands I do not trust jack stands anymore with the saw tooth adjustment I just do not trust them I use cinder blocks for anything dealing with raising a vehicle for a sustained amount of time.
I think you should cement that area of the yard the tent is a nice touch and I know it is your parents home but cement that area in for working on cars it is just going to be safer.
Working on uneven dirt is never fun and looks like your moving in the right direction to make it safer .
I always use jacks but also have two wooded blocks much safer
Bruh did you just jack it up by the bumper?
Cant do that with a new car lol.
That’s the jacking point on this car cause it bolts to the frame
Makes sense. Does it have the little slot for a bumper jack like most pre '80s cars did?
Jordan Wiley seriously, I got a 84 Toyota with super duty axles on 44s and still I can jack it up by the bumper.
Wish this video was about making those blocks....should ad an 1/8 to ur measurements for
Saw blade width?

I think he's pretty cool cat. If I didn't I wouldn't watch his videos. He learned from his mistake & found a better solution. Let's move on shall we?

Nice car port going to have to,buy me one some day. Like the jenga stand and have a happy thanksgiving to you and your family.
As junkyard digs would say "she'll run."
We use block and 4x4 post think about it they hold your house and pole barn up never had a problem we use them on cars to our mega mud truck
It's called cribbing up and it's been around since Stonehenge was built.
Great video man.
That extended cab F100 needs either straight pipes or a bigger cam, obviously not loud enough
I never use jackstands I always use rim's with tires mounted on them or plain rims, never had a problem unlike jackstands all those are good for is scrap weight.
Nicely done Craig
Did you anchor the car port to the ground?
Revving carburetted cars before shutting off washes the oil from the cylinder walls...
What thickness is the plywood you are putting under it?
It took him over 8mins tell show you have to make them...
Just jump to the 8:30 mark...
Craig this video is probably going to blow up, and your gonna get a lot of subscribers, I can just tell.
Those are dope!!! Those look solid!!!
What's going to keep your "car port" from blowing into the next county with the fist Santa Ana wind?
I would poor concrete pad it would keep things a lot cleaner.
I really like the final product, it´s something simple and affordable for me hahaha
Looks good Craig
You need to tie that Carport Down or it'll be in the neighbor's yard next storm! Put the post in a paint pal full of Concrete!
Looks Gud cuz! Lol, would it be more sturdy to turn them the other way just to give a touch of side support?

jackstands have got to be the dumbest invention on this earth
Your last video was bleak af in the beginning, it was sad to see your galaxie in the dirt out in the rain.
Downs side of these wood stands is you can't really leave car out in the rain with em.
You could if you stained or painted them.
@@aaronrodriguez110 Hmm, I guess you would need to before putting them together to make sure everything was coated. Then would need to cover the nail / screw holes to keep water out as well.

That's funny I was wondering if you staked down car port so it didn't blow away.
My rule thought for making these wood stands would be to make em tall enough to get a transmission out, bellhousing and all.
That’s the plan for these
Nice vid man
How do they support cars at the junk yard, it's not wood, 8 steel wheels.
Does 15 inches do okay instead of 16?
Would love to see a video on that three wheeler next to the house behind you
Hey is that a cross on your firewall
They would be fine for a dually if its just under the cab or bed. Definitely not the entire truck.
I can see the title for the next video... "RUINED!! My harbour freight canopy blew down in the storm and destroyed my car!" if I were you Craig, I'd anchor that puppy down with a good set of heavy anchors... Or lags into the ground.
How does having different set of tires burn up a diff?!?
Imagine somebody with a kung fu grip
doing a Karate chop thru all levels of your stand..now imagine your car going thru it the same way..u need a solid

If you're just here for the cribbing blocks, you want to be about the 6 minute mark
Can we lay cement pad down, I'll help?
Let's play Galaxie/Jenga . Lol.
I would concrete that area before any car work
That a 63? I think I have several parts for that car. Rear lights, valance, grill etc.
Stoneyburke might be interchangeable. I have a 64 Fairlane.
Mint👌👌👌👌👌👌
If you wanna see why you shouldn't use the harbor freight car port, I just made a video on how it fucked up my Camaro
Slick!
Ha you got wood
faceman5050 never had a complaint about extra wood.
Can I go 3ft tall with it?
Am I the only one that thinks Sean kind of looks like Linus from Fanboys?
You are lucky to have your mom let you do all these kind stuffs by your house

If this isnt well anchored a good storm converts it into a big kite
concrete blocks
Quick square lol
Cribbing is the name of this
Its a !S P E E D S Q U A R E! Frikin noob
That’s only about 850lbs per corner on those stands for a total of 3400lbs.
