  • @OldSneelock
    @OldSneelock Місяць тому

    Nice work Mike.
    The angle iron is a good choice. The pipe would have been better under tension. The compressive load will bend the ends like you found.
    A friend of mine runs an excavating business and snow plowing in the winter. The snow work is harder on the equipment than digging soil.
    If you have the time and it's not too cold to weld, putting a couple gussets on the tabs will help them endure the compression load.
    On the wing end of the brace I would fill the gap where you cut away the material to let it bend. That will support the weak point where the side was cut away.
    On the mold board end I would put a gusset over the top of the brace and a couple inches past the end of the cut away side. That will again support the tab at its weakest point right where the cut away side starts. Cutting some of the angle right at the bend will give you two gussets.
    The wooden spacers can be reinforced by putting a piece of tubing through where the bolt holes are. That will allow the pipe to handle the compression load and transfer it to the steel plate of the mold board.
    Good luck with your wings

    • @GrampiesWorkshop
      @GrampiesWorkshop  Місяць тому

      How's she goin'? Thanks for these ideas Dave. The thin wall tubing I knew pretty well from the start would not be a good solution. If you noticed in the video I have some heavy wall tubing that would be better I think, but there is still the issue of having to flatten the ends and that introduces a weak point eh. The gussets sound like a good solution to help prevent the bending. I'm going to work with what I have for the winter and monitor for failure. When that happens I think I'll try the gussets like you describe here. Thanks again and take 'er easy!!

      How's she goin'? Rick the tubing I had was thin wall and with the flattened ends, it turned out to be pretty weak really. I think the angle iron will be stronger. But time will be the best test so we'll see. Thanks for asking after Nannie. She is doing pretty good. Still battling her bowel and bladder issues but we were in to see the hip doc last week and he said all is well with her hip replacement. I sure hope you are hanging in there.

    • @GrampiesWorkshop
      @GrampiesWorkshop  Місяць тому

      How's she goin'? I think the angle is definitely stronger than the thin wall tubing eh, but the tab ends may still suffer from the force of plowing.

      How's she goin'? I did have some bed frame rails but the sides on them are not equal and I figured that might make it harder to get them to fit the way I wanted. I also find the bed frames are pretty 'brittle' if that's the right way to describe it. Not too sure how they would bend. This angle that I used came on a shipping crate that my Woodland Mills chipper came in and I knew it would be easy to bend.

The tubing was very thin wall and really had no strength especially where I flattened them to make the hole and connection points. I figure I'll use these till they start to fail, or fail outright, and then go back to the drawing board. But if you can offer some ideas they would be much appreciated!! Thanks Dean.

      @@GrampiesWorkshop That is great Mike. Yeah I am keeping busy with my other 'boopolo' channel which is mainly repeat reviews from my Amazon page (I have a Canadian page too 🤣🤣). I have another marathon in January, so I am training for that now. Our Ciara is now 9 and running as well. I also became a grandfather a few weeks ago.

    Looks like it should work, but if you keep making the parts stronger you're going to start bending the plow! We had one 4" snow on Halloween, that melted quickly. Nothing since. but its going to get cold next week! 🥶Cheers!

      How's she goin'? Ha Ha Ha! That's a scary thought that I could make the wings and braces so strong the blade would bend!! LOL We have had some cold days here but really only flurries so far. But we know it'll get here eventually eh!! So I may as well get ready now before it's too cold outside to work! LOL Take 'er easy!

    I would probably go ahead and gusset the end's of that angle iron. But on the other hand if you do that then you might just find the next weak link which might be worse than that angle giving a little. Did I miss you painting the storage rack at the end of your bench? Loos good. Continued prayers and I'll see you on the next one.

      How's she goin'? Thanks for your continued prayers Ronnie! God bless you! That's a good point about adding the gusset only to find the next weak link! LOL I didn't paint the storage cabinet yet Ronnie. It just looks like it is because the wood panel was prefinished! Thanks for watching. Take 'er easy!!

    Not sure if you actually made it stronger or not........time will tell Mike..........be sure to let us know.........

      How's she goin'? The thin wall tubing I had on the brace before was really weak where it flattened out for the connection point. I think the angle is stronger mainly because it's 3/16" think. If it bends at the tabs though I guess I'll be back at the drawing board! LOL Take 'er easy and thanks for watching.
